So this scene is weird cause cause it's anime original, and despite that is never followed up on. Isabella never goes after the kids.

"We see you, we hear you, now disperse and return to your homes!"

yeah, that famously always works out well for all involved

EDIT: "You can't be gay demon summoning cultists here, so gently caress off to... I dunno, Spade? Heart? Whatever, just get yer deviancy outta here so it ain't our problem anymore."

Great loving message there, anime.

Last season, we kinda....ended in the middle of an arc. It's a bit awkward.

Yeah, this fight wasn't actually over, which kinda threw me when I got to this point in the manga and was like "wait, what, I don't remember this".

I wanna say.... this time last year? We had entered the era of VAs recording from home by that point, because MHA had to re-run a few episodes a couple of times to make up for production delays.

It was very on-brand to dub the climax to the Youtube Criminal arc from lockdown towel rigs.

Kind of funny how the commercials for this season have talked about Class 1-B's time to shine but the story can't even find time for everyone in Class 1-A.

This is the arc the story tries to be like One Piece and it don't work ironically enough for a superhero league story.

Looking back on when Dabi was introduced, I can see what the plan was and why it happened that way but yeah it's a hell of a slow burn for what it ends up being.

The thing I don't get about Food Hitler is what anyone gets for actually following him. Like it doesn't seem like anyone was exactly suffering under the previous head of the school.

It looks like about half of the elite of the elite decided they weren't elite enough so they decided to vote into power a guy who would let them grind the people below them into the dirt even more than were allowed to before.

No it's just make everyone cook, the way Central want you to.

but if no one can keep up with those absurdly high standards, the result is the same: the students attrition down to the elite anyway

admittedly, it's just an acceleration of how the school seemed to operate before, but just now overtly mean about rather than matter-of-factly

Combined with his hatred of serving "the unworthy", this implies Aizen is actually Food Hitler and plans on starving everyone in Japan who isn't elite enough to death.

keep in mind that doing that poo poo is pretty rough on your body and can easily cause permanent damage

so, you know, absolutely not the kind of thing you want to do on the regular or do intentionally

Deku's story in MHA is partly a teardown of the shonen trope of constantly pushing yourself past your limits: eventually you destroy your body fiber by fiber.

I assume it's because of magnetism's relationship with electricity, which already falls under "fire superpower fodder" for this series.

Its funny how quickly they make it clear that Hawks isn't actually a bad guy.

Even when he introduces moral ambiguity, Horikoshi definitely wants to keep good and evil clearly delineated in his western superhero comic love letter. It's actually rather refreshing, I feel.

His fee is free, because money doesn't exist in the Stone World.

yeah, but like: if your rear end was turned to stone, wouldn't your colon be a sealed, airless cavity?

Depends on the drugs in question, I guess: how much bacteria or fungal spores was in them? How much does the chemical composition of the drug inhibit baceterial activity?

They don't have wheat or know how to bake leavened bread, and they don't have cattle or other farm animals to slaughter for meat.
