I figure if someones gonna get off'd it'll be Bubble Girl, she's been too present without actually contributing much. I've been pleasantly surprised when I've been wrong though, so I look forward to seeing what the end result will be.

No I really like Bubble Girls role of staring intensively into her datapad and looking vaguely worried. I like to think she just doesn't give a gently caress and plays just Candy Crush the whole time.

My favorite is Ectoplasm for that same reason. Dude looks like a super villain or some poo poo (which is probably a deliberate choice to intimidate enemies) but he's just a lanky dude with a weird mouth without his outfit.

Overhaul will make All Might explode fulfilling his death prophecy, but then he'll reconstruct him with his wounds healed. Then All Might marries Deku's Mom and they raise Eri together. Shigaraki's there to kill Overhaul at the end of the story too.

All I have to say is: gently caress you, fuckin' Nighteye, you worthless, arrogant, useless, piece of poo poo. If Deku had trusted his instincts based on his faith in All Might, then this wouldn't be a problem. And I get that the author needs some conflict to write a good story and all, but the premise of this arc is that Deku trusted his mentor. But suddenly, that mentor turns out to be a loving useless, arrogant rear end in a top hat. They haven't done a good job convincing me that he is even worthy of trust before they present a flagrant failure that is entirely the fault of his poor judgement. What has he even offered to the investigation? Nothing! This Nighteye loser has nothing to offer. People were giving him respect, yet he can't do poo poo. He hasn't done a drat thing, and then when someone says, "Do something useful", he says he can't.

His by the book, technical heroing is a symptom of his failure to fully understand true purpose of a hero like All Might. Don't worry, Nighteye will understand going beyond 100% in order to do the right thing, Plus Ultra, by the end of this.

Mirio being Nighteye's mentor makes a lot of sense given what we know about both characters powers. Mirio's power is really useful but there are aspects of it that are pretty big downsides, requiring it to be used with a lot of discretion and precision. And even when Nighteye's power is used well it can still absolutely suck.

The whole foresight thing kinda is bothersome unless it's proven that it can be altered through some means (which I imagine will be the case). Like, you'd think that everyone would be way more disturbed at the idea that apparently loving FATE is a real thing and that if this dude sees you doing stuff you're definitely going to do it because he sees through causality itself or whatever. Like if I saw someone with a power like that and they demonstrated it I'd be filled with existential dread because my life apparently is pre-determined. I'd have written his foresight power as being some insanely amazing guess borne from a weird, temporarily realized form of incalculable genius.

Maybe Nighteye's power is basically Maxwell's Demon? He gains knowledge of every atom in the world, for one instant, and so he can see what will happen in the future. That might be more busted than literal fate though. (Hey, if Railgun's Kuroko can do 11th-dimensional math to teleport herself, this isn't too far off.)

If that was the case then his knowledge of it could alter it. But from what we can tell he's never able to alter his future gazing -- at worse he just misinterprets it and the context is a bit different from what he gleaned, but the events still happen.

i wonder if overhaul necessarily requires the reconstruction part. i recall the report about the clown nose weird madoka-looking thing that robbed the bank that got fused into the car, they were mysteriously 'cured' after reconstruction but had... lost their memories? didn't recall anything? or just didn't testify or say anything to the cops?

The framing and paneling IMO made it really obvious that what holds Nighteye back is his own mental hangups, which is fine because precogs are people too and not all of them can be super rational actors all the time.

I'm fine with Nighteye's power if it's effectively working out a billion scenarios and then presenting the most likely one as the future, meaning that other things can possibly happen especially if you knowingly try to change it. I'm less fine with it if it's 100% accurate magic and if you try to get out of the way of the car he predicted would hit you, that car hits a pothole and does it anyway since fate is unavoidable. That sort of thing is boring as hell. Either way using your power and seeing the death of a friend or even yourself would be hosed up and having that power then knowing you MIGHT be able to change it but maybe not would be maddening.

Eri is going to use her quirk-canceling quirk thing to negate Overhaul's powers as he tries to kill Deku and then Deku will punch him.

I appreciate that Nighteye's greatest obstacle from using the full extent of his power is something that very logically comes as a psychological consequence of that power. (Namely, his fatalism.)

Someone who thinks that way needs a friend/partner to help keep things light.

If it's the latter that makes your scenario a lot more grim. If this was a typical edgy seinen series, Eri would almost certainly take a grievous injury to splatter all the badguys with her blood.

All Might is going to show up, Overhaul explodes him and puts him back together better than ever and so he's able to live to the end of the series. This explosion is what Nighteye saw.

From the latest chapter it seems to me to be too vague to give an idea of precise reading like when, where and how. He'd see one frame of All Might eating a sandwich, the next an incoming car and then of All Might in the hospital before darkness. It might not even have been the car that killed him, only that between him eating a sandwich and him lying in the hospital, a car will almost hit him and he might end up dead after the hospital visit for maybe unrelated reasons. Who knows how long after each episode occurs though.

Now that I've binged the manga, something that's been bugging me about All-Might; Is his transformation thing part of One for All? I was under the impression that originally he just looked like that full time and his injury made him waste away so he used the quirk to look 'normal' for shorter and shorter periods of time as he weakened. Or was he always a skinny dude who could transform into All-Might and his injury turned him into skeletor?

It was explained that he was a musclehead before*. Post-injury, he kinda just ... flexed to look big again. Like a big dude on a bar crawl. E: * before he got OfA.

Jintor posted:i wonder if overhaul necessarily requires the reconstruction part. Given that Shigaraki's confirmed that Magne's dead and Compress is still missing an arm, the reconstruction definitely isn't necessary. If those things weren't permanent I think Overhaul would have said something in their later meeting when Shigaraki brought those things up, given that Shigaraki was trying to use those things in their negotiations. Also yes, we've seen pre-OfA All Might in a flashback or two, he was ripped. Not as ripped as OfA All Might, but still big. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 17:06 on May 3, 2017 |
