This is a better recap episode than the last few seasons in terms of connecting the seasons but wow did it look fairly cheap. I mean, I get it since this is pure filler to tee up the incoming canon content but lol at avoiding animating Shoto's ice via hard cuts. Also it has been so long that I can tell how off-model Deku is from Umakoshi's original designs.

S4 was fine IMO, S5 won't really get cooking until towards the end of this arc, then the entire rest of the season will be a real show for the anime-only crowd. I guarantee you'll enjoy it if they adapt it properly.

I got the impression originally when this happened in the manga that was simultaneously development and a setback for Momo. Momo's previous problem was choice paralysis- she couldn't think fast enough in the sports festival to win, and froze up fighting Aizawa. She's confident in her PLANS now and executes them, but the flaw that brought her down was thinking she couldn't take Kendo in a 1v1. Momo sacrifices herself to help the team and stall Kendo, but the real PLUS ULTRA thing to do would've been to square up with her and win anyway. Kendo saying she didn't feel like she really won is kinda lame, but I guess the idea there is just that they had to use simple brute force to win with Kendo dragging Momo and a cannon around and Kinoko just loving choking Tokoyami out. Kinoko choking out Tokoyami is kinda messed up but I think using toxic or magic mushrooms on everyone would probably be magnitudes more dangerous to everyone. Also I think the ones she used on Tokoyami are a fungus that specifically can grow in your throat/lungs, which is something most mushrooms cannot do.

Todoroki blows up everyone on the opposing team and destroys the entire fake city they're in- to the applause of the rest of 1-B because they're cool with incredible levels of violence in training exercises.

I haven't watched the very latest episode but Pony is also a Japanese (or half-Japanese maybe, can't recall) American- she's not a Japanese native, and Japanese is her second language so she's not great at it. 1-B got all of the foreign students. The dragon scales guy from 1-B is Chinese.

This is one of those "this is why X superpower wouldn't ever work" things, but regardless of if it has bones in it or if it's pure muscle- Ojiro's tail would probably weigh like 80 pounds and require that he have superhuman muscle/bone density to even be able to support it. Like, levels of muscle/bone density that'd let you bench press a small car. It'd break every bone in your body if you got hit with something like that.

Also any quirk that relies on fine tuned control or really deep conceptualization to work right would be bad to copy. Or having a body that can use it. Monoma wouldn't get as much out of Sato's quirk because Sato is a tall dude and built like a brick shithouse, and Monoma isn't.

oh jay posted:For me this interpretation relies too much on an abstract interpretation of "stockpiles power" when for 8 generations it was just super-strength that gets superer. The thing that we don't understand right now is why the additional quirks only started to manifest in Izuku, the current holder.

It makes anything he hits at you tough to dodge, since it can suddenly just launch at a completely different trajectory at any time. Before you dodge, while you're dodging, or after you've already dodged it once.

Everyone kinda just accepting the weirdness with Midoriya's quirk is pretty dumb but his quirk has always been kind of a mystery to anyone who wasn't directly in the know anyway- same with All Might actually. Even a FAKE official confirmation of All Might's quirk doesn't exist- Midoriya said it's a source of massive speculation on the internet.

Larryb posted:Good, going into any details would be manga spoilers so I’ll just say that the next arc is the whole reason I was looking forward to this season (and I’m hoping is what they’ve been saving the animation budget for). In my opinion- this is literally the weakest arc in the manga, and it's not that bad overall. The next arc is really good IMO, and so is every arc after that really.

I feel like Monoma's quirk copies just hard evaporate after his time limit is up. If he copied One For All and passed it on to someone after taking it, that copy he passed on would disappear once the time limit hit. I think that's the most consistent behavior. Interesting that it copied Eri's horn- so would he turn froggy if he copied Tsuyu's quirk?

NikkolasKing posted:Also apparently according to this thread, it's "controversial" Deku got more powers and stuff. At least that's what I read pages ago here. It's supposedly been a big YMMV/Love ir or Hate It plot development ever since this arc in the manga. Whatever, I think it's plenty cool and the Vestiges are the best thing about this arc outside of more Monoma and Shoto/Iida's fight. Well that and Uraraka being both awesome and adorable.

The final battles aren't too bad but it has a powerful feel of a work being ended early. We're talking like, a character getting flashbacks to explain stuff that was clearly meant to be an arc, a final badguy for them shows up that we didn't know hardly anything about, then that badguy loses. I imagine it'll be better when it's animated but it's definitely truncated to a nearly painful degree

I'm starting to have little faith in the arc I want to see being adapted well, given how badly bones seems to want to not do it. It should've been over half a cour imo, and they're basically running away from it screaming

The stuff with Aizawa is good and fully contextualized by a volume of Vigilantes, which is good and you should read it if you have a Viz sub. I wish Vigilantes could get an anime too, since it has a different feel to it.

In the manga Curious mentions that kids get quirk counseling and it's more about self-suppression, which hurts people who quite simply cannot fit inside the box. Curious' idea is that society caused Toga to snap by forcing her to suppress herself and never giving her a safe way to satiate her nature (she just naturally is fascinated by blood, which isn't really terrible in and of itself)- so if they sell that story and kill her, she's a martyr for their cause. Quirk society's forced suppression of quirk usage would've been blamed for driving her insane and killing her.

I'm still pissed they cut all the stuff with Spinner and the cold open of MVA where they're murdering the MHA version of the KKK. It's kinda important to Spinner's character. It sets up the whole thing where the league is in dire straits because they don't have money or a base so they're just killing a bunch of racist cultists because nobody'll miss them if they get murdered+robbed, and it's a little personal for Spinner. They just legit hosed it up- it's the first thing I'd say this adaptation has just flat out done really, really badly on. This season is a mess and it was one I was really looking forward to.

Tabletops posted:All that backstory just to say what they’ve been saying all along : Shigi is just a evil guy who likes doing evil things and that’s pretty much it There's also some missing bits and pieces- in the manga if you pay attention to Shigaraki's room, it starts to fill up with toys and a computer as All For One basically helps him extinguish what's left of his conscience. He was a wreck when those thugs beat him up in that alley yet he still resisted killing them because there was just a bit of Tenko left, and All For One goads him into snuffing the rest of it out. It's actually great how much it underscores what a manipulative piece of poo poo All For One is- he's pretty thinly characterized but overall you get this picture of a guy who needs to be in control at all times and is unbelievably gratified by rubbing salt in the wounds. He does this with All Might too with how he taunts him while also fully expecting and preparing for All Might to pull out the Shonen Battle Manga hero poo poo where they squeeze out every last drop of gas in the tank.

If Bones gets sad about not being able to waste a shitload of time on essentially filler, they are going to have to just do full filler arcs from now on out because basically the brakes come off the train at this point in the story.

The third movie did better than the second which did better than the first. Yonkou (twitter guy who has some inexplicable connection to the industry in Japan and isn't USUALLY wrong) posted a year or so ago that there was a plan for an MHA movie basically every year for the next 5+ years.

I really don't see anywhere near the level of vitriol from here anywhere else. The majority of stuff I see outside of here is people kinda dropping the series and wandering back to catch up in bursts, and if people are upset it's because they thought the most popular character was actually gonna die. The last several volumes are the best selling in the series in Japan- but I actually don't really see a lot of open commentary to go with it?
