I stand corrected, I had a memory lapse. Renji lost in the end, yes. My criticism still stands because Ichigo won by raising his power level.

I don't know much about the Captains and their Lieutenants so I didn't even go there.

To be more precise about the antagonists, my complaint is about the ones that are driving the plot. Ikkaku, Kenpachi and Mayuri were okay but they're just roadblocks and not major antagonists. After his fight, Mayuri decided he was done with this and watched the rest from the sidelines. Kenpachi was even fighting the traitors by the end of the arc. I'll say I liked the Mayuri fight and the Kenpachi vs blind traitor fight though.

Power Levels are definitely a thing that is in Bleach by Soul Society. No numbers are given but they still exist and Ichigo needing some big last minute training to unlock some ultimate power to stand a chance against him really reminds me of hyperbolic time chamber stuff from dragonball. I don't think all that's really a problem though, in dbz or Bleach, but that's a matter of taste.

The power levels mostly were just shikai bankai and experience. Ichigo does powerup but it wasn't really. It was basically the same power he had when he fought the menos grande.

The last minute powerup is so stupid in retrospect because he didn't even unlock bankai then. Literally all his powerups has been his stupid ghost grandpa going eh, you're probably gonna die unless I unseal some more of your power.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
As much as it did boil down to who had the better bankai, don't forget that one of the most powerful people Ichigo faced in the Soul Society arc was a man who did not know how to unleash his shikai, but also had so much raw power oozing out of him that he needed something to absorb the excess. Bleach had the groundwork for power levels very early.

I really doubt that MHA is getting anywhere close to power levels with anybody but Midoriya, since we have seen the 100% he can be. Everybody else seems like learning to better control and more cleverly use their existing quirks at their pretty much established levels.

But his Bankai (and Shikai) was there the whole time watching.

Ok here is the real question: will there eventually be some new OFA power scale beyond the 100% full cowl scale? On one hand, 100% is so strong that there is absolutely nothing that could fight it until shigaraki gets afo, but also we've seen what 100% and deku is already pushing 20%. How much excitement or difference will there be for further incremental "bit faster bit stronger" upgrades from now till the finale?

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
With 20% now actually feasible, I suspect we have 20%, then maybe 35%, then 50%, then 75%, then 100%, then PLUS ULTRA%.

Remember that 100% is not 100% of his power, or even 100% of All Might's power. It's 100% of what Deku's body is capable of putting out when he first got OfA. 100% Deku couldn't even phase Noumu, so clearly 100% Deku doesn't beat 110%(?) All Might.

To be fair, All Might only managed to beat Nomu over repeated use of his power. If Deku could use OfA for the same amount of time at the same rate, he could probably just as handily take care of Nomu.

Knuckleduster is the hero this city needs. Unlike out of touch ivory tower heroes like All Might, Midnight, or Eraserhead, he can adapt and present himself appropriately to a wide variety of situations, with minimal warning. Dude had a nice suit and a cover identity ready to fuckin' go. Meanwhile, no one's told Present Mic he's not on the radio.

To be honest, I'm continually surprised by how good it is. It had a pretty rocky start and kept having to hop between publications and I assumed it was doomed to die the normal death of spinoffs like this.

Despite being a cliche, for some reason Pop Step doesn't bother me much. I think it's because her civilian appearance is actually kinda frumpy and not anime-cute.

That's not right, his arm was fine afterwards. They mention it later and he says it's the first time he tried punching something that was alive an All Might assumes that's why he was able to limit OfA for the first time.

A couple things I liked about the latest Vigilantes: Koichi's mom's quirk seems like it could be part of what makes up his quirk. Being able to project force long-distance from her palms its pretty similar to how he can project a moving force from his hands and feet. Also the way Makoto immediately went for probing questions the moment she had her hands on Knuckleduster's arm. Even if she wasn't able to get a true-or-false feedback from her polygraph quirk before Koichi's mom interrupted, I think she's definitely putting one and one together.
