yeah part of the big fear of all might retiring and the heroes having to try to quickly mobilize to maintain the status quo he set is that now that he's gone, the really big villains like overload are going to be starting to come out of the woodwork to do stuff like that

Monoma is a character I really want to see in action, his quirk seems like it could lend itself well to some really creative uses if he just rapidly swaps what quirk he's copying. It has the obvious downside of "you're never as good at your quirk as the person you copied" so for him to be a real threat he'll need to have some pretty interesting applications of it. I really like seeing shinso in action, he's a cool character concept and the show did a good job of demonstrating how he's still a real threat even when you know what his quirk does. I'm guessing deku will outsmart and clobber him in their eventually faceoff but honestly I'm rooting for him

I dunno if "a medium sized farm" is really that high value, society already has farms. Being able to do it more efficiently or whatever is cool but idk what the plan to do more good that route is, just have a farm but all the food is donated towards the needy? Like that's probably more useful than being a cop but she isn't going to single handedly end hunger Kaminari potentially just being a solar panel farm is basically the same thing. Like society could just build solar panel farms, but they don't, and creating some way for kaminari to feed the power grid personally would probably run into similar issues as real world green energy sources with getting the local power grid to let him jack in

Blaze Dragon posted:I sure hope not. Much like Deku, a lot of what makes All Might enjoyable is that he's absolutely not special - he's just some Quirkless guy that got OFA then was so goddamn focused on saving everyone that he reshaped society itself around himself without even intending to and became the Symbol of Peace. i mean he did intend to - the whole "symbol of peace" thing was quite literally his idea when he was talking to his mentor/predecessor. iirc the idea is part of why she chose him to be her successor?

I'm glad that class b, having entered the same school through the same entrance requirements and received equivalent training and education, are approximately equal to our main cast because there is no reason not be and it'd be stupid if they weren't This is a weirdly extended arc to make that point with no further underlying drama or plot though. They could've done it in half the time and it'd be fine, or they could've had some kind of stakes or drama and it'd probably also be fine. Instead this is like a filler tournament arc One thing that's kinda weird about class b though is class a has a decent number of "heavy hitters" like bakugo and hot n cold, while class b doesn't really have anyone on the same level of "blatantly overpowered in direct combat" as the guy who can turn the entire battlefield into a glacier as an opening move. Wish we got to see our focus characters' future direct peers on top of the class as a whole's direct peers ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 01:07 on May 17, 2021 |

It seems like what they've done is taken the major focus characters so far and spread them out amongst the fights to make each fight have some more viewer investment, but they really should've condensed it down to 2 or 3 fights with the focus characters in it, and had a couple fights with "nobodies" to gloss over or even outright have happen offscreen. This arc is trying to give every character across 2 different classes some focus time and there just isn't enough episode time to do that effectively, some triage needed to happen with this arc and then maybe later have a follow up arc giving the characters who missed out the first time around some extended screentime. They could probably have put tomoyami and iida on the sideline this arc and then have the next vs class b arc focus a lot more on them. I guess after the fourth season there were a lot of pretty important classmates who have been out of the limelight for a while and this arc is a way of getting reacquainted with them/show a bit of what they've been doing in the meantime. But it really needed to focus down on "ok todoroki and bakugo are going to be big characters in the upcoming arc, let's give them some focus in the minitournament so everyone has a good baseline idea of where they are right now" and figure out who else can just be cut out this time around ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 01:24 on May 17, 2021 |

isn't there some additional mechanism to his quirk that bakugo utilizes to protect himself form his own explosions? i feel like there was an explanation that was basically "bakugo is effectively immune to his own explosions, but he does have to flex his 'my hand will not be hurt by my explosions' muscle as a constant background distraction." like has to flash a protective layer of anti-explosion sweat on his hands or some poo poo

yeah for how powerful bakugo's quirk is in combat, i did really appreciate when they spent some time going into how it's also really hard to use, bakugo just makes it look easy. all of those precise midair acrobatics bakugo does require having a pretty well ingrained sense of physics and also a lot of control over the strength and angle of his explosions, if you gave a bunch of people that same power very few would be able to do half the poo poo he does. hell that he manages to make a safe landing more than 40% of the time is probably pretty remarkable in itself. honestly if the show wanted to get into it (it definitely doesn't) there's probably some decent parallels between bakugo and lemillion there

Has sugarman ever accomplished anything in any combat scenario? Not only is he a worse version of deku's quirk (he can not get nearly as strong as deku can) he also gets dumber when he gets stronger which is a kind of nasty limitation. Maybe they could introduce some mechanics where different sweets affect his body in different ways or something

It'd be neat if specific sweets made specific muscles strong or something (like waaaaay stronger), so he's chowing down on an eclair to get bulging leg muscles to do pseudo all might jumps or something

yeah i figured monoma saying there's quirks he can't copy to be more like, he might not have figured out how the quirk "controls" in the 5 minute timespan that he has the quirk. but it could also just be that some quirks he can't copy, i hope next episode they go all in on exploring monoma's quiirk also bakugo rules, though i did feel like the episode was a little more masturbatory towards him than it needed to be. even monoma couldn't come up with anything mean to say about bakugo Rhonne posted:I mean, AfO has lived for several lifetimes, so he could take the time to master it, but he's just lazy. i mean his time is probably better spent on learning more quirks that are more immediately powerful. 10 "my muscles are bigger" quirks are probably such an absurd level of strength that they'd totally blow through the 1 jean quirk he managed to slowly learn in that time, so why bother ever learning the jean quirk?

Eej posted:The most logical ultimate move for him to develop would be Quirk Synthesis where he merges properties of copied quirks together, like if he could mix Todoroki's ice with Bakugo's explosions to basically make plastic explosives. Monoma copies both bakugo and mina to make acid explosions. Or acid that explodes.

Seems like the basic idea is 1 person = 1 quirk. The basic one for all quirk is "pass on your quirk to another person." If it is passed to a person that already has a quirk (or a quirk is otherwise given to the person that has one for all), it obeys the 1 person 1 quirk rule by combining the quirks into 1 singular quirk. So one for all isn't 2 separate quirks of "strength storage + quirk passing" but a singular quirk that has properties of both. So when other quirks like the black whips are introduced, they're combined with the other quirks instead of being discrete quirks that a person happens to have multiple of. So the strength storage and the black whips combine together to form black whips that use stored strength So all for one breaks the rule entirely and allows the user to take and give quirks freely, while one for all is also a means of combining quirks. because one for all "follows" the rule it's much more unwieldy (requires consent and time), but ultimately more powerful (synthesizes quirks together rather than have them merely exist alongside each other, so their strength is essentially combined multiplicatively rather than additively like all for one). I guess the idea is it's thematic with a society created through mutual cooperation and consent may be harder to construct than one created through force, but ultimately is a better society to have?

I think this arc would've been pretty good if it was 3 fights long instead of 5. 1 fight to show off where shinso's at, 1 fight to show class b is a real threat, and then the climatic fight between deku and shinso. 2 fights happen largely offscreen or are really short but punchy displays, like bakugo's fight was. If iida/hot n cold had lost to team soft in half an episode (or hell even have them win like they did canonically I don't really care), and the other half of the episode was bakugo's fight, I think the pacing would've been a lot better. My issue with this arc is really more pacing based than conceptual - I like getting to see the other class and all their creative quirks! But that novelty is only good for so long FilthyImp posted:Goofy poo poo between math, home economics, and Unarmed Combat 101 was appropriate in the first season but after fending off loving Quirk Hitler and having someone try and infiltrate the school not so much.

Dracula Factory posted:It could totally veer from this direction obviously, but shigaraki is useless against deku in a 1 on 1 at this point and this is a shonen show, so I'm fully expecting shigs to get all of AFO's powers after he escapes and dies or something like that to raise the stakes. (don't spoil if this happens or not though) I feel reasonably confident in predicting that the MHA endgame is eri's power somehow being used to restore all for one to full strength (maybe AfO will steal it?), with deku defeating him at his peak strength being the point that marks deku surpassing one for all and being recognized as the greatest hero Given how much hoopla has been made over AfO being unable to find a quirk that can heal him, and eri's quirk clearly being one that could and something that's being actively developed, there's no way these two plot points don't meet ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Aug 20, 2021 |

...wait couldn't eri restore one for all back to his prime too? it messes with time so it could put him back into a pre-passed-quirk-to-deku state. i guess theoretically they could make a bunch of one for alls as long as they have more people they trust with the power man eri's going to be the central point of the MHA universe about 3 seconds after lemillion gets restored

Raenir Salazar posted:Canonically I believe its because it takes place in Japan and that lethal force isn't seen as reasonable by people who are mainly characterized as firefighters/disaster relief and that you can't atone or be rehabilitated if you're dead. So there's a willingness to accept casualties to capture instead of eliminating villains. I believe that they are asking why the meta human liberation guys aren't packing heat, not why the heroes don't gun down all the villains Because yeah shiguraki can maybe dodge 5 dudes shooting at him or maybe even 10, but when there's 100,000 people here that's a lot of casualties prevented if one of 50 people sitting on the roofs of their houses with sniper rifles pops him
