Yeah, Deku's super-tracksuit needs to be tossed out entirely.

Mina's costume, however, is perfect in its garishness.

It's treated pretty positively imo. The only issue with it being All Might can't sustain it himself.

the point is that the symbol of peace was one person and that yes all might was great and positive but it's impossible for one person to be the symbol of peace because of the vacuum it leaves if they can no longer be a hero for any reason

Deku will get that scary costume and become the symbol of war after brutally murdering Overhaul, whose bird mask will remain at the centre of his bloodstained costume throne.

Or the manga could remain good and it's more likely he builds a more cohesive hero association (or whatever it's called, I forget) with him at the top.

That doesn't make it bad in itself. Neither does it make it impossible because All Might successfully did it for at least a couple decades. Just because it wasn't a perfect solution doesn't mean it wasn't a good one.


The actual point is finding a sustainable way of doing it because the current way is too fragile even when it's being held by someone like All Might. That is, improving on the what was good to make it better.

I think intrinsically the greatest hero is at least a symbol of peace. But there being A symbol of peace or at least a huge gap between #1 + #2 is definitely unsustainable. But if Deku drags everyone up with him and establishes a huge network or whatever the story winds up doing he'll still be the guy doing that; the guy establishing sustainable peace. He'd be the guy getting the MHA Peace Prize or whatever..

If several people are the symbol of peace and Deku is one of them then Deku is the symbol of peace, along with his pals and peers.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to derail the thread with my dumb comment about vigilantes. I like both series a lot and I think they both bring interesting things to the world of mha. I just wish the villains in the main series got actual screentime and character development sometimes.

Vigilantes is cool and benefits from having most of it's "arcs" be just 2-3 chapter affairs. It's not something that'd work for the main series but having the comic be a series of sorta but not entirely disconnected one-shots that reveal more about the world of MHA and some of its characters is a nice easy read for a spin-off series.

I'll say the man series actually has pretty solid villains though. The VA are great, Shigaraki's already changed a lot from how he began and character's like Toga and Twice have gotten a lot of focus and screentime to develop their personality.

^^^ The main character's quirk in Vigilantes is actually absurdly good once he figured out the whole "stop by accelerating in the opposite direction" trick. It's basically like Ingenium/Iida's quirk except better in almost every way.

dogsicle posted:

It seems like Deku is destined to surpass Bakugou by a lot. Like, he was already able to keep up with him at just 8%, and I really doubt that Bakugou is gonna be able to train his explosions to be 10x as strong as they are now and allow him to move 10x as fast. Heck, I have no idea how Bakugou would be able to fight him at the 20% he's using against Overhaul. A lot of other characters at least have some sort of extra utility, but Bakugou is a straight combat type for the most part.

You know how would have been really useful in this Overhaul fight? Todoroki. Just fill the room with ice.

I dunoo what'll be done to keep the stronger students in line with Midoriya as time goes on but I got the impression Hori might be showing us that he's getting close to surpassing Bakugou because he dialed his final punch (that landed deep) to 5% because his arms were still injured. If that was an 8% punch it could have been over.

i wasn't really coming at it from a power level angle, more that they each idolize and embody parts of the current symbol of peace, all might. so i feel like it would be sufficiently sweet to see them succeed him and either share or be constantly swapping 1st and 2nd spot.

I think getting rid of All for One will do a lot of good in making whatever new system they create more sustainable. All Might's approach didn't work because AfO permanently ruined him. There still would have been a vacuum when he inevitably passed away of old age, but without that injury All Might would have had the time to properly train and groom a successor.

I mean, the system is still a flawed one, but it would have been sorta manageable had All Might not taken the type of injury that he did.

Eh, you don't need someone just like AFO to destroy a One For All user or threaten all of society.

Quirks have been established to basically be anything- only quirk manipulation seems to be a really, really super rare power.

There's a wide variety of bog-standard superpowers that could manifest as a quirk that if possessed by a criminal could easy put them on an AFO level of dangerous or worse. Most of the highest-level XMen powers would be a world-changer in MHA. A reality-bender, phenomenally powerful psychic, or even just that one kid from the depressing XMen story whose ability was to emit a combination of gasses and radiation that instantly vaporize all living tissue for miles around him.

He was wounded several years before he even met Deku. He had 'time' but he didn't "have time" because he had become so all-important that he couldn't bring himself to take time off from constantly going out as a hero, which is basically the point.

It's repeatedly stated that Quirks are biological abilities with biological limits. So no reality warping. Someone with a Quirk that created an indiscriminate biohazard would be a big deal, though.
