Just noticed Jiro switched from her little triangles to full-on eyeblack. Not an improvement, IMO.

Rhonne posted:One thing that's kind of annoyed me for these fights is that every one of them have started with Class B getting the drop on Class A and forcing them to fight from a defensive position. Like, I get that we have to establish that Class B is capable and what their quirks are, but it's getting kind of old. The constant one-upping feels so much like a Bleach chapter. In any case I look forward to Bakugou learning the power of teamwork, or I guess in his eyes "keeping your team alive so you win"

The poll didn't get an illustration and this chapter was 13 pages. Hori's still not doing so hot.

I feel like the best outcome narratively would be Bakugou letting himself get captured in order to secure a win for his group.

If this is arc is succeeding at anything it's getting me to buy into the rivalry because I'm beginning to hate Class 1B just due to how oversold they're being in this arc.

The formula for this arc seems to be Class A comes up with some sort of plan, but it turns out Class B's plan is actually way better and a nearly perfect counter to whatever Class A comes up with, so Class A can only put up a fight by brute force.

And, honestly, ignoring the narrative needs of a storytelling medium, that's a pretty solid lesson to teach would-be heroes. Sometimes you have to just pummel a villain into submission, you can't always outthink them. I think especially for Deku that's a good lesson to drill in, or at least it would be if that wasn't already the lesson he learned from his past 3-4 major fights.q

Muscular, Overhaul, and Gentle all consisted of Deku just going "gently caress it", digging deep, and punching even harder.

I'm still a supporter of the Overhaul fight overall, though it had its weak points. imo those were mostly because of the weekly format though.

The concept of the Overhaul fight doesn't really bother me and is actually pretty rad, I just had a hard time following the action. One thing about MHA's fights is that Horikoshi usually manages to maintain a wonderful sense of space and location even when people are dashing and bouncing around, so it helps put everything into visual context. The Overhaul fight was a little weird in that regard because it basically took place in the sky.

I didn't like the Overhaul fight for the same reason I was disappointed by the Doflamingo fight in One Piece. It's lame to set up the ruthless mastermind of an organization that they run through their charisma and powerful ability and then also make them unstoppable terminators that can go toe-to-toe with Superman. There is no logical reason that a guy like Overhaul should have been able to take a single hit from Deku and yet they get into a crazy slugfest. And just like Doflamingo just kind of didn't use his manipulation powers directly, Overhaul just kind of doesn't use his human-pasting powers against anyone but underlings and instead just decides to be an Earthbender. There were good parts to both fights but overall they are immensely disappointing. The new chapter though, aah, I will give it another one to see if it recovers but "The team runs headfirst into a trap and are overwhelmed because Bakugo is a hotheaded idiot but then they're fine because Bakugo learned that he can't do everything himself because he's the strongest, he can do everything himself while saving people because he's the strongest." Setsuna being Buggy the Clown would have been cool if it didn't follow up both Hawks and Pony and yeah to an extent Meatball Man. Not every quirk needs built-in telekinesis, goddamn.

Both Overhaul and Shigaraki's powers were not good choices for a generally upbeat shonen manga. Though it works better for Overhaul because he's not a villain who will be present throughout the series whose main power will only rarely actually land.

The Overhaul fight was a little weird in that regard because it basically took place in the sky. One of my favorite panels in that fight was actually a sky shot after Deku kicks Overhaul up into the air. It plays around with perspective and gives the whole thing a cool sense of scale. That specific shot seemed to confuse people at the time, but it seemed pretty clear to me, so I dunno. I think my only complaint about the way that fight ends, other than half of it actually being boring flashbacks, is the layout of Deku's final punch ends up being kinda meh. Another thing I can't wait to see is the League's attack on the police caravan. That sequence is loving inspired. It's going to be so amazing to see it animated. Going back and comparing then to now, the drop in layout quality is really obvious. So if the drop in page output and the repetitive fight structure wasn't obvious enough, Hori's really struggling even with what he is putting out.

How is it that Mirio is rated under Overhaul. One was a breakout character of that arc and the other an overpowered bland villain with a generic motive that dragged down that arc. Mirio should get more credit than that just for providing a counter point to Deku having the typical inherent heroic destiny. Additionally the fact that he's visually interesting and has real personality should really put him higher.

I also had no drat clue who 14. Shindo was until I looked him up and I guess he was a handsome minor antagonist during the Provisional Exam arc. There's no way to avoid it due to how the mediums interact, but man the anime's influence on popularity polls does suck sometimes.

It'd be neat to see Pop getting more involved with the other pro heroes. At this point I'm way more invested in the Vigilantes characters than I am in the core manga -- the narrower focus lets their characters develop more than their power levels.
