Speaking of Toga, where the gently caress is Kemi?

We're up to more than a few days after the provisional test. Toga still playing her at school? You'd think that'd come up sooner.

Using Toga to cause a huge, successful, incident at Japan's number 2 hero academy would work as a good win for the villain alliance while not taking any of our main and side characters off the board.

She was chilling with the rest of the squad, so either Kemi's dead and it'll come up soon or they managed to brainwash her into forgetting she was kidnapped (the smarter thing to do).

I mean, kidnapping and impersonating a student from the number 2 hero academy is already a pretty huge incident. Whether or not Kemi is dead will indicate how big it'll be.

I think he's always going at 5% though because in the Stain fight he hurts his arm towards the end and Gran Torino chastises him for going over his 5% limit. I don't think his 100% is as strong as All Might's because I assume All For One passes on slowly which is why All Might still has so much power left but Deku's 100% is still absurdly strong. I think I've said it before but I really love how is training was to do with him being a non-natural Quirk user and learning to use it like a born ability as opposed to an on off switch. Really clever way of letting him grow and improve without it just being "I can use more % now".

Bakugo just got kidnapped from the forest lodge and I'm reading the aftermath of that now. Current theories that aren't exactly mentally taxing (but could easily be wrong) are 1) The traitor is the Pussy Cat who disappeared 2) Dabi is one of Endeavour's failsons AKA Todoroki's brother. I should have realised this as soon as he used fire as opposed to when he makes eye contact with Todoroki.

Best Cop Friend just called to tell All Might about the villain's pub and he transformed , aw yeahhhh!

Deku isn't using 100% of OfA's power. He's using 100% of what he can safely use without, y'know, permanently injuring himself or worse.

Against muscleman he blew apart both his arms though. He also used 1M power which I know the author clarified was not what was actually happening but rather just showed how hard he was trying so it seemed like he was using everything available to him currently.

I have a super soft-spot for Todoroki and his fear of "am I possessed by an evil handcrushing spirit". Also Yaoyorozu's a real sweetheart and I'm always so happy when she shows confidence. Yuga is still a prince who will never stop sparkling even though he cowered in the forest :saddowns:

Deku didn't really start restraining himself from using 100% of all available power until Gran Torino taught him to do the constant 5%. Then when that constant 5% wasn't enough against Muscle Man, Deku once again opened the flood gates and went full power, which nearly permanently ruined his arms. Now he uses his legs instead of his arms, and managed to up his constant % threshold. The only thing keeping him from once again going full power and hurting himself is that he promised his mom he wouldn't.

EmmyOk
Aug 11, 2013

That's my understanding of it though I haven't gotten to the promise part yet. I also suspect his current 100% isn't the max power of OfA as it is still passing from All Might to Deku.

In work atm :saddowns: But my official VIZ back issues start on chapter 87 a.k.a. the chapter where All Might bursts into the pub. Can't wait to go home and continue reading, I stopped on the panel of him plowing through the wall.

if he says he's using 100%, that means he's using everything he's got; he mentions when he's using 5%. deku's very specific about his power output

Yeah, there's been a lot of discussion about what specifically Deku's 100% means, and general consensus is "100% of what Deku is capable of", rather than 100% of All-Might's power. All the "over 100%" stuff, with Deku and All-Might alike, is probably just rhetoric, though. If Deku suddenly shot up to 80 billion% power level because big dramatic moment, the takeaway should be "he's pushing really, really far past what he's normally consciously capable of", not "he is literally 800,000x more powerful than normal".

It was basically him winning a fight on his own with no real assistance, and doing the All Might "Plus Ultra" thing. Also the whole being Kouta's hero thing, and the moment where he's apologizing to his mom in his head and calling out for All Might because he thinks he's gonna die.

It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
I feel like that fight was important because it forced him into a do or die situation. It's really meant to show you the reader that, yeah, he's just like All Might: for better and for worse.

I loved that it really bucked alot of the shounen tropes too, even in keeping the LAST SECOND POWER BURST it's a pretty dark fight. There weren't really any spectators, child aside, and there were no congratulations or platitudes either. It was really just a rock bottom moment of self sacrifice that cause Deku quite a bit of change and turmoil.

I'd wager it will be super emotional if they ever animate it.

There was an author's note a few chapters after 1000000%, or whatever it was, saying that of course it was just to signify extra effort not literally four orders of magnitude more power. I always took All Might breaking his 100% limit in the Nomu fight to mean using so much power that he did himself damage which made sense because afterwards his transformation time was drastically cut. For Deku anything outside of his regular 5% does the same thing to him and breaking his 100% in a time of crisis is what made the doctor tell him he'd paralyse his arms next time.

The runner Tyson Gay ran the fastest 100m ever (wind-assisted and pre Usain) in 2008 but doing so basically blew his hamstrings to pieces and that's what I think of when someone in an anime goes over 100% or w/e.
