Yeah bakugou is a great character, he's a great foil for midoriya and you rarely see such an unrelenting rear end in a top hat antisocial overachiever played straight as a good guy. The fact that he never makes the stereotypical shonen deuteragonist turn of being defeated by the protagonist and becoming a neutered best friend cheerleader and he had a "uh oh might join the bad guys" arc and told them to gently caress off with 0 hesitation or temptation says so much about the series being importantly self-aware and subverting tropes.

Yeah, I hear "Hori is not a Togashi level writer" a lot in response to overzealous fans wanting Hori to subvert generic shonen tropes and character trajectories, and I think that's generally right in that MHA is well executed but not terribly groundbreaking shonen in terms of narrative creativity, but it's is far from Naruto level terms of lazy and bad story decisions. We're not going to see Deku talk to Shiggy about the power of friendship and then him see the error of his ways. I hope the trend continues in making Shiggy as detestable for the protagonists as possible. Heck, I hope he Noumus All Might and Deku has to put him down. It's cool to have Shiggy get as bad as Deku is going to get good.

10-15 years from now I'm gonna enjoy the scene in My Hero Academia Z when Bakugou and his mom are cheering for Bakugou's kid (who has taken after their personalities) in the sports festival tournament going up against Deku and Uraraka's kid. Presumably (this may have been answered already but I don't remember) OfA isn't passed hereditarily so Deku Jr. will have gravity powers and it'll mirror Bakugou and Uraraka's fight.

What if everyone younger than Endeavor that looks at him is a failed child experiment that just doesn't use their fire power because it reminds them of him? Could someone whip together 80 images justifying this theory?

And wasn't the obligatory male love interest left hanging at the end for an unequivocal lesbian ending? The last two seasons of Korra were so cool and part of me thinks it's a shame they went out in such relative obscurity and the other part if me wonders if that obscurity enabled the creative freedom.

Quirk combos would be a fun thing to introduce, love to see Bakugo use Kirishima as a human cannonball. Yeah it's great we're getting to see Eri making a recovery but hoo boy if Horikoshi wanted to really make readers hate a villain he could have them kill/do bad stuff to her and people would flip.

Roland Jones posted:Oh, of course, but killing random police officers isn't particularly impressive. Feats of athleticism beyond what people who actually have relevant powers have pulled off felt more like it was worth mentioning when discussing whether Shigaraki/the VA sucks or not. I never thought of it until now, but it is kind of weird non-hero law enforcement don't receive any quirk training or have privileged quirk use.

I can't help but feel this is trending towards Deku taking down Gentle with excessive force and seriously injuring/killing him (though that's probably too dark for this story) and La Brava posting the video which without context looks like an unlicensed hero using their quirk to police brutality a goofy and nondangerous "villain." Deku may save the festival but UA will get in trouble for the video and maybe him as well for unlicensed quirk use like we saw at the end of the Stain arc. We're getting all the stuff about UA's reputational stakes and Eri's expectations for the festival to make sure we know Deku is morally justified in what he's doing, but the video will show none of that and paint Gentle as a victim. This is definitely something Hori has shown interest in exploring from Stain's viral following and Gentle & La Brava's whole schtick. Whatever happens Nezu better not resign to save face.

Mercury Hat posted:The only bad part about this arc is it's going to be like 3 years before I can see it animated I dunno, if season 3 is going to get us through AfO I could see this being in season 5 unless I'm forgetting something big. Overhaul arc is substantial enough for season 4 in itself and I'm sure they'll clean up some of the pacing issues. Season 3 came out only 7 months after the end of season 2 and they seem to be wanting to capitalize on MHA fever while it's hot. Out of curiosity, anyone here have grade school age kids? I'm curious how this is being distributed and taken by its actual target audience. I could easily see it being like what Pokemon or Dragonball Z was to 90s kids.

One of the most heavily explored and central themes in this manga is myth-making and the different effects it has on inspiring people to action. When the myth is interpreted prosocially, you get Deku. When the myth is interpreted antisocially, you get Shiggy. In both cases, it was still all about All Might. Endeavor has quantifiably resolved more cases than All Might, but the public faith is shaken when he's the number 1 hero because he doesn't have the myth of being the Symbol of Peace. Even if in a hypothetical universe where this arc happened but the stakes were more "realistic" and people would just send aspiring heroes to a different school, it wouldn't change that in this universe UA closing would be comparably disastrous for society as All Might retiring. UA alone has the myth of being UA. UA isn't unique because its selection criteria is the most stringent or its job placement in prestigious and lucrative hero jobs is the highest; it's unique because in the minds of aspiring heroes it's a goal they can just run after and pour their hearts into. The myth of UA motivates the world around it like the myth of All Might motivates UA - it's why the students at Shiketsu academy push the extra mile to show they can compete with UA, it's why characters like Shinso and Monoma form neuroses around their relationship with the main cast, and it's why the general public watches the UA sports festival like the olympics. Everything in this world that's important is so because it's more than the sum of its parts. The myth of UA is the difference between kids with potential steering their virtue ethics into becoming Dekus or Shigarakis, or to a greater extreme between All Mights and AfOs. So UA closing would've been a really big deal and Gentle would've unintentionally caused a lot more damage than intended.

Shinsou's quirk could be hilariously effective at hero work considering we don't have many defined limits to it. I'm imagining him just sitting in a call center going down a list of criminals' phone numbers and asking them questions and commanding them to turn themselves in. Shinsou: "Hello, I've got one large anchovy pizza incoming for Hugh Mungus, is that you?" Shigaraki: "I didn't order any... hey wait what why am I in jail now?!"
