That's very different. Deku wanted to be a hero already, and his grueling training was entirely voluntary.

This is true from our and Deku's perspective, but from an outside perspective it's not really so clear cut. All Might willingly gave a ludicrously dangerous superpower that is potentially catastrophic to its user to a child to mold that child into a successor. For the average person getting these revelations in-universe there's probably not much daylight between what Endeavor did and what All Might did in terms of result, given that Deku is currently lying on the ground in a pile of his own shattered limbs.

(You could also make a lot of arguments about how voluntary a child's decision to take on a life-long responsibility and burden like OfA can actually be, especially when that child's hero worship target personally offers that opportunity to them.)

And o was Dabi's for all we actually know until it went overboard. All Might gave the ultimate power in this universe to a boy so weak his body shatters every time he uses it.The difference with Deku is he had magic to fix his body when he tried to use all his power way too early. Who's to say that Recovery Girl/Eri couldn't have fixed Dabi if he had them available.

Considering how easily All Might adapted to All for One and how its power is always increasing , I think there's an argument that he genuinely didn't know that Deku would be exploding his arms every five minutes.

Best Jeanist being alive is pretty much the worst thing that could happen to him at this point, it basically undermines his whole video. All it takes is someone saying "if he lied about Best Jeanist, what else could he have lied about?" to cast doubt over his whole message.

Also if Best Jeanist is alive, then what the hell is Hawks even bring up him in that bag? Did Dabi even check if it was a real body?

Chapter 291

Let's see if I got this right.

Endeavour married Rei to have super-babies, but the first one, Touya turned out to have just fire, so they had a second one, who had just ice. Endeavour decided it was fine, and abandoned the whole eugenics-plan temporarily, because Touya had more powerful fire Quirk than he did, and he resolved to raise Touya to surpass himself and All-Might. Touya actually seemed to like the training at first based on this chapter. Then it turned out his body couldn't handle the power of his flames.

We're missing what happened next but based on previous flashbacks, I think what happened was that Endeavour decided that Toyua wouldn't be able to surpass All-Might, flipped his lid, forced Rei to have more babies, and once Shouto manifested his Quirk, he focused all of his efforts on him, neglecting all the other children. Then Touya goes on his own to his old training ground, there's an accident, and everyone thinks he died. Was he trying to master his powers, to prove dad wrong, to show that he could become a worthy successor?

Anyways, goddamn this was a chapter.

Yeah, I'm assuming that his reaction to Touya burning himself is basically the moment where he decided his son wasn't up to the task.

Jeanist being alive doesn't really torpedo Dabi's whole thing- because even if Hawks gave him a fake body uh...there's still the footage where he 100% absolutely murdered a terrified and crying twice by stabbing him to death from behind as he crawled away, and while I wouldn't give a poo poo the MHA-verse seems to care if your parents are villains.

It kind of depends how sympathetic people would be towards a villain like Twice dying, especial after the villain organization he belonged to wrecked half the country.

I think the chapter is pretty clear about how people are reacting to this information. People were freaking out before Dabi talks about how Hawks killed Jeanist so I don't think that point being wrong is going to invalidate his whole spiel.

Seeing a hero run a guy through in an explicit and uncensored video is definitely the kind of thing that would leave an impact on a viewer.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Worth consideration also that even if you believe that Hawks was 100% correct and justified in handling Twice the way he did, MHA’s society has spent most of a generation seeing heroism handled in the style of All Might, overwhelming power that manages to completely stop villains while also stopping short of killing them - seeing the way the sausage gets made like this is still entirely beyond the ken of what this world expects to see when they think “one of the top heroes in the country.”

Er, is what's happening around Machia and Shigeraki even on air at the moment? Best Jeanist can be as alive as he wants, but I don't think there's a broadcast of what's actually going on right now so him showing up does nothing to contradict the pre-recorded video Dabi's airing.

Nope! Best case, he can show up in public LATER (assuming he's not killed now) and maybe try to alleviate the damage Dabi has caused, but even then it'll have had time to set in.

It doesn't help that Twice was clearly trying to run away from Hawks, tears in his eyes, rather than attack him. Hawks went for the kill on someone who was fleeing; you could try to argue that Twice is such a massive threat that he could not be allowed to escape, but it looks really bad for him to be literally and figuratively (since Dabi also explained that Hawks was infiltrating them) stabbing someone in the back when that person isn't even being aggressive towards him, plus the whole "too dangerous to be allowed to live" thing might not go over well with people who also have dealt with prejudice over having dangerous or scary quirks, to the point that I think you'd just make your case worse if you tried. It just looks awful in a way that's hard to sell to a population that's not really bloodthirsty.

Based on the edit alone, yeah, he's fleeing Hawks. But we have the context to know he was running toward the rest of the battle to join it.

With Best Jeanist alive, I think what we're actually going to end up with is a massively divided population between people upset with the hero system for failing to protect them and because of the actions of Endeavor and Hawks, and people who think the villains are just full of lies and that Twice deserved it. Again, you have a villain army rampaging through the country right now hurting and killing lots of innocent people, some people might not be that sympathetic towards one of their members getting killed by Hawks, even if he was running in fear. Still a pretty bad situation all around though.

Also, if he makes it out of this alive, Best Jeanist is probably going to be the new #1 hero for a while.

Where else is he supposed to run? Hawks literally cut his muscles and bones so he could barely escape- this is in the text of the chapter. Hawks stabbed a terrified, mostly incapacitated guy in the back as he was desperately trying to get away from him.
