Gentle's just on the outskirts of society at this point.

This is why I'm still convinced he's going to be radicalized and recruited by the League of Villains.


e: I mean, he wants to prove he's better than the heroes who have gone through the system successfully. What route is there for him? There's no civilian/hero competitions, he doesn't get to stop villains and show he's better at protecting people, he isn't even allowed to use his quirk in public. It's basically smash the state or nothing.

Does Gentle even dislike the system? Like he doesn’t seem the type to hold grudges and he hasn’t really blamed anyone. Honestly I don’t think he even wants to be “better” than heroes either. He hasn’t shown that he cares about stopping villains or protecting people other than La Brava (and he doesn’t do that to prove a point). He’s also just too darn nice, I can’t really see him working with serial murderers like Dabi or Toga. Not to mention the VA is far too unrefined, Gentle would never be ok with that.

It's not quite the same thing, but Gentle trying to break into UA to get more Youtube views and how this will end up harming the school and affect heroes is really reminding me of the start of the Civil War comics.

Well good thing we already know who'll be on which side:

I really want a short All Might prequel. I guess that's what the movie is gonna do for a bit but a whole volume dedicated to Shimura and All Might would be fun to read

also, I was thinking about the limits of One for All the other day. As Deku has used it, it sends energy to all parts of his body and it basically makes his muscles tougher. so, does this basically make him invincible to bullets and poo poo?

Hey, remember that time Deku saw the ghosts of all the previous OfA users? That was weird, think they'll ever do anything with that again?

Tangential to this, when All Might uses OfA, he goes from being a scrawny prune to being a mountain of muscles, but no such thing happens for Deku. You also never saw the lightning effects on All Might.

Also, touching on Deku damaging the gloves in his very first fight with them: All Might did tell him that One for All doesn't play nice with support items.

Quirks have a lot of biological factors; likely, the expression of the same Quirk would differ by the user.

Probably a combined thing of his quirk and age. When Deku watches the video of All Might's first appearance on the hero scene, his eyes are already darkened.

Even if he no longer has the super strength and speed, the manga has shown us he still has fighting experience and good reflexes. And he's already been trying to get his normal body into shape if for no other reason than to prolong his life and be able to mentor longer.

He's only mentoring Deku, and, again, he could do that over VOIP rather than endanger thousands of students.

They've shown assorted teachers just doing general, by the book teaching we just barely see it outside of end/start of class or the occasional extra comic.
I figure that includes All-Might, alongside him guesting in their hero exercises by (attempting to) give advice.

They do have actual, normal schoolwork, it's just that nobody gives a poo poo about that so the story just glosses over it to get to the bits people actually care about.

but it isn't his normal form now, it's something he has to put effort into and also cant really do because he doesn't have ofa anymore so being able to empower yourself that way seems to be a function of ofa and i do think it's likely for deku to discover something similar but legally distinct

UA is a bit weird like that, like why would you have legit superheroes teaching algebra and stuff? Have them come in for specific classes, keep regular teachers for all the other classes.

One thing I do like is that literal fetish superhero Midnight is a somewhat dull, entirely regular person as soon as she enters the staff room.

This is adorable :allears: It's kind of funny that the Civil War comics presents registering your powers and/or your hero identity as a terrible thing (mostly by having the leaders of the group do awful poo poo), but MHA shows registration's not really a big deal, and has actually helped out.

Then again that's a society in which 80% of all humanity has superpowers, not one in which a select few individuals do.

Ooh just one small derail, Vigilantes says that Quirks in America are still a huge problem because there's back and forth on defining quirks under the 2nd amendment I think. Or something like that.

well in Marvel there's not that many superhumans while in MHA everyone is. On top of that heroes in Marvel have secret identities. MHA they really don't with the closest being the Vigilantes group or Aizawa who hides for power logistics

Yeah I've always kinda thought that MHA is basically X-Men several generations down the line, where now almost everyone is a mutant.

IIRC, they said that government licensing of heroes was actually introduced in a US state (I think it was Connecticut or Rhode Island) before any other jurisdiction, and that other US states adopted similar systems, but that regulations regarding Quirks are nevertheless more controversial in the US than in Japan.

I'm actually more interested in how poorer and less democratic countries handled the rise of Quirks. The first known person with a Quirk was in China, after all. I suspect it will never really be discussed because it's a bit of a :can: to bring up in a fairly lighthearted setting like MHA.

Deku did right by Eri, that's all I care about here

Gentle recognizing that he put La Brava down on the wrong path is a nice reflective note for the villain here. I wonder if Gentle will get a chance to rehabilitate himself and maybe start on the path to be a hero, or at least a neutral supporting character.

La Brava having her heard broken by the man who gave her faith in the world seems bad, I think whatever's next for her will be interesting
