I had assumed his dad had died or something, not that he was literally just never home like Jotaro's jazz musician father

I wonder what the significance of Deku's hand being the only solid part of his body in that dream/vision is.

All Might is wispy/smoky which I think speaks to that he's not dead yet and not fully part of the One For All collective. The other holders of OFA are fully solid and in clear view, and I don't remember where it was said but I'm pretty sure everyone prior to All Might is dead now. Deku's hand is the hand that he wrecked almost to the point of uselessness, so does that mean that the power from that hand is now fully integrated with the OFA collective?

OfA is a power based on the idea of its holder being a martyr who's willing to exhaust themselves for their ideals. Midoriya's hand is proof of his martyrdom

So let´s all ignore every piece of evidence that Horikoshi is going to do better regarding this subject, and stay focused on something that isn´t even his fault.

I get it, series like Assassination Classroom exsist. But can we please stop pretending that´s the status quo and let the guy tell his story?

I'm not trying to tell people to get over their own hangups regarding Endeavor and his current portrayal. But let's be honest here. Fire rapist is going a bit far now isn't it.

"fire rapist" is an absolutely ridiculous thing to write, yes

It's funny that the jiang-shi guy's power has nothing to do with them. I guess he just likes the aesthetic, which is fair, everyone needs a gimmick.

actually it makes me think of that Marvel vs Capcom character (maybe they're from Darkstalkers?) who shoots knives and other weapons from her long sleeves and this dude essentially shoots little blades from his sleeves, so maybe there's some kind of allusion we're not aware of

That's a scanlation and the translation is, just as tradition, confusing :v:

Did Mirko kick clean through the doctor's arm?

I don't think Mocha's quirk is Twice's (this is possibly a translation issue) -- previous issues implied that Daruma gets the quirks from forcibly removing them from people's bodies -- but it's some sort of cloning/transposing quirk it seems. The doctor's arm seems to be damaged after Mocha got kicked into the next dimension and the armsleeve is torn off.

The female nomu's headpiece seems to be her skull rolled back. Gnarly.

Miruko doesn't know what's happening, she just saw people melting like has been observed with Twice clones

MHA is shaping up to be a Dragon Ball or Naruto style powerhouse franchise, there's no way the editors aren't pushing to keep this thing going as long as possible, including a timeskip like the aforementioned manga had where the protagonist grows into himself and the odds become more dire

Hornikoshi

Something something, Bakugo produces nitroglycerine, a vasodilator, and if he relaxes too much, he could literally pass out and his heart stop so he uses the adrenaline from stress and anger to keep himself upright and aware, and it comes across as being extra and spastic instead.

That's the theory I read once, and considering Horikoshi's usual attention to detail with regard to quirks, it seems plausible.

i think that's wack and he should just be an angry boy, thematic with the explosive nature of his quirk in like a cartoon way because it's a manga for teens

Yeah, this is it. Bakugo has established that he's an explosive jerk who has no concept of manners or softness but it's okay because "he says what needs to be said." This is a pretty common abuser profile.


People make fun of him but only in ways that don't actually force him to change. Has anybody actually confronted the fact that he's pretty much completely unfit to be a hero?

it's a comic and a cartoon, man. i know the teenage superheroes are basically cops but that doesn't mean they're hitting their wives like them

I like how the MHA thread constantly devolves into chatting about other shonen series instead :allears:

Anyways Orochimaru getting amnesty always read as all the kages admitting that if Orochinaru didn't resurrect the hokages, then Madara/Kaguya would have won, and thinking to themselves that if they killed him, he'd just revive himself via another bullshit backup scheme. I could also definitely see Naruto stepping in and saying "ehhh don't do human experiments anymore and we're fine" to go along with the theme of the Pain arc.

I assume the ninja CIA is all over Orochimaru's lab, even if he's aware of it and they're doing a little dance of mutual intelligence-gathering. we're all buds now

No? It's "Dot Pixis looks like some old Japanese war criminal" and "Hey he said comparing what Japan did to Korea to the Holocaust is... not comparable" At most he's nationalist, which was blown up to Imperialist, and that's it. No other damning connection as far as I can tell.

that's good, then, the way this had gotten to me was I thought it became known he had some love for that era or was one of those Japanese people who is into WW2 German stuff

can't help but think MHA is jumping the shark with this mental world where ghosts hang out stuff. imagine explaining that to the frog girl, whose quirk is that she's a frog.

I mean, Mirko's quirk is "I'm a rabbit," and she hurricanrana'd a Nomu's head clean off.

yeah and if you explained it to her, she would say, "what the gently caress? I'm just rabbity. you get a spirit world?"
