Rhonne posted:The anime reminded me that Gang Orca was ranked 10. Poor guy got knocked out of the top ten. Probably happened because he was working on the license exams. Figure a job like that, while important, isn't much good for boosting your profile. Add in the downtime from his injuries in the Kamino incident, and he probably just wasn't able to do enough to keep his reputation in the face of some determined challengers.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:What the absolute gently caress? I agree she's a wonderful person! I just was noting that she doubted Deku's dream, and All Might was the one who both said it was possible and made it possible. Inko even apologized for doubting her son, so that both cements her as a fine mom, and clarifies why Deku saying he owed everything to All-Might is reasonable.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:having one member that can fight well is probably good enough for search and rescue work. Maybe, but Mandalay was also shown to have some skill for close quarters combat as well. Probably they train together anyway, so it's good to make sure everyone can at least cover the basics in an emergency. One thing about Class 1-A (and to a lesser extent, 1-B) is that they've been thrown in the deep end early. From the slime monster attack, most heroes (until recently) were used to only fighting if the situation was overwhelmingly to their advantage. Meanwhile, 1-A has dealt with multiple villain ambushes, and had their curriculum massively rewritten to focus on not dying. Constantly going sink or swim means you get good swimmers or dead ones, and thanks to more than their share of lucky breaks, 1-A's gotten through as the most promising class in a while.

Rhonne posted:I wonder if this next arc is going to be about Endeavor trying to replace All Might as the Symbol of Peace only to fail horribly. Just drive home the fact that there will never be another All Might. Driving home there will never be another All-Might has kind of been Deku's arc already. Deku's still trying to be the next SYMBOL OF PEACE, but doing that well has meant learning how to carve his own path as opposed to just trying to be ALL-MIGHT, but again. As for hero teams, it feels worth bringing up that there are two of the three members of a hero team in the top ten right now. Kamui Woods and Edgeshot are coworkers, but that doesn't mean they're only doing jobs together.

PMush Perfect posted:Also maybe next time don't give it to a 14 year old. Yeah, picking someone who needed to spend all summer on the body improvement plan from hell to meet minimum requirements probably didn't help the "don't explode" goal. Deku can also offer a lot of handy techniques to the next guy for managing the amount of strength in play, things that All-Might never had to come up with in the first place.

Brought To You By posted:Even that gets called into doubt as you look at how technology and criminal society has progressed. When we start to look at the endgame of people like Overhaul; how long until someone finds a way to get a dart into a hypothetical fully healed all might (or in this case a 100% Deku)? Once you figure that out no hero is safe and that's a very strong message to send. Quirk interaction also get weird, Shigaraki just doesn't care about physical durability so long as he can get his hand on a person. Can Compress contain someone like all might? Shouldn't Overhaul himself have been able to kill All Might with just a sustained touch? We've even seen that a coordinated dimensional warper can lock down All Might's movements if assisted. Granted, this all comes with the caveat that someone has to be able to actually get in contact with him to activate their ability without getting a Hawaii Smash to the noggin. But it's not like it's impossible either. All Might presented not just a deterrent, but a challenge to people who would want to get him off his throne. I hope none of this is coming across as overly cynical. I just really think Deku is going to have problems trying to be another symbol of peace in a world where villains would like to nip that notion in the bud so they never have to hide in the shadows, or under their own monolithic dictator again. It's not that no-one could actually get a hit in on him. We've seen plenty of people with enough power they could have taken on the SYMBOL OF PEACE. It's that nobody felt like they could. Guys with powers that, on paper, could have taken All-Might down did give it a shot. And then he kicked their asses into next week. Hell, that's why Bakugo idolized All-Might. He wasn't just the guy who could win when the odds looked good. He was the guy who always won. Who crossed the invisible threshold from "I only need one good day" to "Yeah, this isn't happening." And that's what Deku needs to do, and, importantly, what Deku is doing. He keeps getting himself into fights he shouldn't be able to win, and wins anyway. He's won a fight that should have been actually impossible. Better teamwork is good, but if villains think they have even a one in a million longshot, that means All-Might's role is still unfulfilled.

He's basically the opposite of Stain's ideals, a hero who's in it for the fame and who just wants to take it easy. But so far, he's also, you know, an alright enough guy. He's a very different character from Deku, Bakugo, and All Might.

Hunt11 posted:Which to be fair is not always a bad thing. Nighteye was quite correct in struggling to process the insanity that lies within both Deku and All-Might to be willing to do what they do. Yes it does mean that they do very heroic things but it means being willing to go for unimaginable torment in order for victory to be achieved. That is why I hope that the end game is to literally form a justice league of sorts to that the burden of protecting society is spread out among the hero community instead of just one individual being sacrificed to keep everything going, The problem with that is that Deku and All-Might aren't being sacrificed. Everyone else was trying to make them hold back. They're tossing themselves on the nearest grenade, and they'll run half a mile to do it.

Carlosologist posted:Momo got into UA due to recommendations right? So I imagine that her parents must be highly influential or something Her parents are rich, and old money rich on top, so some influence is almost a given. That said, I'm not sure they'd need to be for her recommendation. Momo's the smartest student at one of the most prestigious schools in the world, and she's got a quirk where the only real limit is you need to be a genius to use it well. On top of that, she scored top marks in the class for physical fitness, she's got some level of natural leadership talent, she's a gifted tutor, she's trained in martial arts, and she interviews well. If anyone in the school had a glowing neon sign saying "Scout me! I'm great!", it'd be her.

oh jay posted:Endeavour being depowered sounds boring. He'd be, what, the 4th hero that can never hero again? It would also mean he wouldn't have to deal with his actions, which is dull. Right now, we're heading toward Endeavor trying to make things right while realizing just how bad he hosed up. Have the Dabi reveal at the right point, and you have Japan's number one hero undermined as a symbol right as he's finally trying to be worthy of his title. Depowered Endeavor is a martyr. Undermined but active Endeavor is, no matter how he's trying to make things right, a symbol of the problems with hero society, and another crack in the dam.

oh jay posted:My issue with that tweet is that he contextualizes it as "humanizing an abuser" as if the fact that he is inhuman is not up for debate. For me, inhuman or monster is like knowingly and maliciously committing genocide or mass murder. I'm reminded of an old exchange. "These fiendish German atrocities----" "But are not fiends a figment of the imagination?" "Very well, then; these brutal atrocities----" "But none of the brutes does anything of the kind!" "Well, what am I to call them?" "Is it not plain that we must call them simply Human?" The same people who take part in a genocide on Monday might teach the neighborhood children how to play football on Tuesday. The most vile human beings are still human beings, and refusing to admit that makes it easier to do the same poo poo yourself. After all, you're not a bad person. It's different when you're the one doing it. (And if the people you're going to do it to are "less than human", well.) Of course, humanizing a real piece of poo poo is one thing. Excusing their actions is quite another.

drjuggalo posted:full on fan theory all stemming from dabi knowing todorokis name (which would be possible by having his TV on during the sports festival) And we know Todoroki has two older brothers, with only one of them showing up this chapter, and no mention of where the other one might be. And Dabi joined based on Stain's message of "Seriously, heroes who aren't All Might are garbage." And we didn't get Dabi's name when everyone else's full name was being passed out. I was pretty skeptical at first, but the more we get, the better it fits. And if Endeavor's going to have any kind of redemption arc, shoving his face in the fact his parenting lead to one of his kids being a serial killer seems to be a pretty good way to force him to deal with consequences.

Ytlaya posted:I feel like quirk society would inevitably end up with a tiny minority of people bred to have super-quirks, like Todoroki, and a large majority of people with quirks diluted to uselessness due to like 20 unrelated minor quirks going into the mix. Most people have quirks related to their parent's quirks. Not necessarily combos, a lot lean more to one parent or another (see: Todoroki's family), but some are. People like Eri with completely new quirks are the exception, not the rule.

Of course, it's pretty funny that Mic is the one saying it, since his quirk manifested at birth. Caused some serious hearing damage, too.

The Awesomesaurus posted:I want to see the AU where Midoriya wants to grow up to be the best hero like All Might, but he ends up with his mom’s mediocre telekinesis quirk, so his dreams just kinda peter out. Considering some of the heroes we've seen, I'd think "low level general telekinesis", even if it can't be trained to something more Tatsumaki level, would be more than enough to go pro. Mirio even had a speech about how his quirk was poo poo garbage by default, and that was the top hero candidate at UA.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:I mean a lot of this could be explained by whatever cause his appearance is something he did himself/something after he separated from the family. Also I don't think Dabi is his real name, it's like Spinner or Magnee. it's a villainous moniker. When the heroes raiding the alliance list off names do they give Dabi's out? Nope. Which is kind of a hint that, you know, his name is actually relevant.

Look at what we know about All Might 1) He's ridiculously American 2) He's Japanese. 3) He was born without a quirk 4) He gets involved with any situation in front of him, due to a chronic inability to not get involved. Obviously, he's a descendant of President Hitomi Mishima

I'm envisioning an arc where a now quirkless Deku has to protect Eri as they're both being chased through the city by the League of Villains. Comedy answer: They use all the bullets on Kirishima and Tetsu.

I wouldn't put Toga as an "even" there. She's scrapped with Aizawa and at least held her own, she's got ninja moves to disappear if you look away for a second, and she managed to take on Tsu and Uraraka at once without using her powers. Toga's basically a prodigy at murder and murder related activities, even ignoring her quirk.
