Oh yea, that actually makes more sense. I would have assumed she passed only on rescue points, but only Deku managed that.



I actually have no clue, somehow it looks like she managed to take out SOME villains. Invisibility hijinks I guess.

Right? There has to be some gimmick there we don't know about. Maybe she's secretly a giant UFC bodybuilder.

Hot/Cold guy seems pretty powerful in a similar way. What's to keep him from just freezing everything in sight? It doesn't seem like he actually needs to touch things to freeze them. I guess something with a specific ability like being able to generate fire/heat could counter it, but most people would be poo poo out of luck.

Collateral damage seems like a pain.

I went ahead and read chapters 19-21 and they were pretty great. I wonder how they're going to handle Midoriya transitioning to becoming more powerful; it seems like the instant he learns to control his power is also the instant he becomes stronger/more capable than the vast majority of characters in the comic's world.

It's not just control though. His body just doesn't have the musculature to support his power. Which for the purposes of this story means that he will never hit full power because the comic is never going to age him into his mid 20s except possibly in the last chapter. Control < swole.

Also he's going to have a power loss arc. Obviously.

All Might goes from skinny twerp to a tower of muscles in an instant, though.

I was under the impression that All Might doesn't have the musculature to support his power either and that his control of his quirk was just forcibly buffing him up out of necessity. He's running off of willpower and mentor pride and he keeps bleeding out in twerp form because of it. He bleeds out a lot so that may be his version of Deku's bones breaking.

Honestly this is all speculation until we get a flashback arc. Which I'm hoping we're not getting soon because that'll probably precede him dying horribly.

As far as they would know a one-in-a-million/billion thing happened and they have the same quirk.
But not literally the same quirk, mind.

Hand guy seems to believe that All Might is a murderous rear end in a top hat that just happens to be popular. He also treats one of his hands like they're his father's. So do his hands belong to family members? Can he use their powers that way? Did All Might kill hand guy's father? Did All Might's predecessor do it? Will they answer these questions in the middle of a beach arc?

This isn't rocket science. Going by actual measures that most companies use to determine keeping things in circulation, this manga's not getting cancelled any time soon.

Yeah but on the other hand talk of potential cancellation leads to a perfect segue about the unjustness of Mx0's cancellation.

The optimal solution is that Team Deku loses their headband, grabs someone else's and the Deku headband keeps changing hands before the final attempt before time results in no one being in possession of it. Team Mount Erebus ends up the only team to retain their own headband, Team Deku has the highest single headband, and Team Bakugou has the most headbands.

Burn the headbands.

Either he ends up with the headband of team Endo-Ectothermic or in the struggle both headbands get destroyed. I'm betting on both headbands getting destroyed and Bakugou destroying all the others in his rage attack. With everyone at zero an alternative scoring method will have to be used. Copycat pushed the envelope way to far, Bakugou ain't the type of guy you needlessly taunt.

If you destroy all the formations then the headbands won't matter right? They would need to be reformed to make points count.

There are a lot of ways failure can be internalized into a personal lesson, man, I'm just trying to give an example. We expect him to win because he's the protagonist, even with the odds stacked heavily against him. I'm just saying failure is an option and potentially a constructive one; one I wouldn't mind seeing.

Even the classic "It's okay to fail, everyone fails" would be at home here.

He's not going to fail because he was mind controlled because that's a super boring way to lose. Iida is actually probably the best place for him to lose at. Then Iida can win it all and be surprised killed by the villain's association. Maximum tragedy.

I have no time for deus ex machina but I had no problem with this chapter. It wasn't a bullshit twist to get the writer out of a corner, but the introduction of a plot element in a low-stakes situation so it can be redeployed and developed later without being a deus ex machina. This was the first round of the competion, against someone Deku has barely interacted with. Of course he wasn't going to lose.

I'm also liking Shinsou. I expect he's not really a bad guy, just resentful of (through no fault of his own) having a quirk that a lot of people will automatically hate and mistrust. And his being a huge tool all fight is tactically vital for him since getting a rise out of his opponent is the only way he can win.

Deku would actually be a good partner for him because Shinsou could order him to do smashes that Deku wants to do but physically would have difficulty pulling off due to pain.

I don't understand everyone saying Deku got deus ex machina'd out of the mind control. Dude had zero control over his body, what the hell was he supposed to do? I know we all want more complex/uncommon stories, but having the main character get knocked out in the first round seems like a bad idea given this still runs in a publication targeted at kids.

Honestly it's more annoying that Deku seemed to be dumber for that one fight but it was plot necessary to introduce other aspects of One For All.

It's a superhero homage. If All Might dies he'll come back as a villain somehow. Also Deku will lose an arm for some reason.

I'm sorry, what are you basing that on exactly? I'm trying to think of heroes that've died and come back as villains and outside of the Black Lanterns nothing is springing to mind. I'm sure it's happened on occasion, I just don't think it's nearly as often as you seem to be implying to say that Horikoshi will homage it with All Might. More often it's that death is just undone and the hero resurrected if we're talking Western comics. Superman, Batman, Spider-man and so on - they've all died, they've all come back like it never happened, which please god, won't happen here.

Besides which, it wouldn't make sense to happen. If All Might died and then came back, he'd have no powers, because Deku would have full control of One for All at that point and there's nothing to indicate the link goes two ways to say that zombie All Might would be able to wrest some/all of it back.

Wolverine for the Hand. Phoenix. Ant-Man in Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Kid Loki. All zombie comics. Every live action Marvel event has ended this season with a missing hand. Honestly I really didn't put much thought into this except that the main villain in this series collects hands and one appears to be his father's. I just figured he would collect somebody's hands at some point and that the person behind the hand guy would probably fashion another meat puppet out of All Might's corpse.

All Might has already been kinda irresponsible for not explaining what Midoriya was getting himself into.

He didn't tell him he was going to have to deal with destroying his body until he figured the power out, he didn't tell him that "oh yeah, there's this villain who is like literal quirk hitler who is 150 years old and killed my predecessor and nearly killed me and you'll prolly have to fight him...without me because I'll be dead", nevermind if giving away OfA kills you or otherwise saps your lifespan.

Even All For One was some major player in the deaths of each previous holder at BEST each person has lasted maybe 15 years with the quirk.

All Might thought that villain was dead. And he never had the body destroying issue. He's a pretty lousy teacher though.
