The curious thing is that the League didn't know about the hospital raid beforehand, even though all of the students and teachers were involved. Either the traitor knew but didn't tell them for some reason, or he/she didn't know about the raid at all. I feel like the first is more likely. I can't think of a character who would have known about USJ and the school trip who would not have been informed about the raid.

I mean, straight I think the traitor thing was Nedzu’s best guess without all the information. It’s fairly plausible that when Shigaraki dusted the gate for the reporters he or someone else also managed to steal the class schedule. Remember they attacked where they knew All Might would be based on that schedule and the lesson was pre-planned. Then the fact that AfO can track OfA within a certain range, or is naturally drawn towards it, makes the discovery at the forest easier. As they simply were following the location of OfA, and AfO/Sensei at the time knew it had been passed on to a student.

We'll probably get some chapters checking in on The Big Three, Fatgum, Miruko, Toga, maybe an update on Compress, 1-B, and the rest of 1-A that we didn't see last chapter. I doubt they'll all get full chapters dedicated to each of them, but we'll probably get a glimpse of most of them. Rhonne fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Jan 30, 2021 |

I'm not saying you're wrong, but having this be the solution after multiple chapters of characters saying there's a traitor with no indication of anyone thinking otherwise would be pretty garbage writing.

I mean the traitor plotline already isn't great when there was like a 150 chapter gulf between it being brought up and literally anything else about it being mentioned again. There's a reason everyone just kind of believed the claim that some fan asked him about it at a con and he said "oh i forgot about that"

this thread has a high frequency of people declaring a plot line has been dropped based on vague impressions of how much story there is left to go my favorite is someone declaring that the 4th OFA users quirk was a dropped plotline

It would be dramatically apt and hilarious if MHA is what creates a serialized/shared universe situation in Jump comics. Doesn't Vigilantes already dip its toes into this? Could there one day be a crisis on infinite Dekus?

I mean, Horikoshi will presumably make another manga after this, and there's nothing in the rules that says it can't be a sequel or spinoff.

SKULL.GIF posted:Related to/inspired by the speedscans, but not really spoilery: It feels like social acceptance of mutants improved significantly over the past couple decades in-universe, judging between Vigilantes, the flashbacks in MHA, and current-day MHA. I don't really think you can do the Xmen style, Humies stomping on muties face, thing when the quirkless human population is dramatically smaller than then quirk having one and in no apparent privileged position.

I mean, I don't think it necessarily has to be quirkless humans to be part of the KKK/Anti-Mutant Group. There's plenty of people in MHA-verse who have quirks but haven't mutated, and from various scenes throughout the main MHA manga we know there's some anti-mutant sentiment residue left over.

I believe Shigaraki was using Ragdoll's search quirk, which they wouldnt have had until then. That search quirk having already been preloaded with like all the protagonists because of said training is a bit of a pickle for the heroes.

Ytlaya posted:Where are people getting the idea that he's getting the ability to detect when other people are in danger? It seemed to pretty clearly be a spider-sense sorta thing. The very first time it manifests is chapter 286, immediately after Bakugo gets stabbed, right as Deku goes berserk. The visual effect is a white vertical bolt. We're also shown several static-covered panels of nearby critically injured heroes and the wrecked city. The effect is distinct and out of place with the rest of the panels on the page. The last time it shows up is when he's lost consciousness after using black whip to help break up Dabi and Shouto. He wakes up and immediately looks for the nearby injured Shouto and confirms the quirk must have awakened.

Oh, I must have missed that. That still sort of implies a short range though, right? Otherwise it would be going crazy constantly due to all the people wrecked by Gigantomachia's rampage.

I don’t think we have a good idea of the limits at all as of yet considering it just awakened. I think mostly people are taking the idea of the quirk as we currently understand it and combining that with the knowledge that it’s been boosted by OfA. I suppose it’s possible that the range isn’t actually that long and that maybe the original version would only have detected threats to the user, and so the power boost is why it could sense Bakugo getting hurt at all. But on some level I think people like me kind of want it to be more of a double edged sword. Because we know there was something about either the quirk or the user that All Might was reluctant to share, and that would make sense as a guess. Plus it would be especially crippling for Deku as he is and it would be interesting to see how he would cope with that burden and how that would force character development

It's also funny to make Ubi open world jokes on it. If it's remotely what we think it is then someone could mod Deku into like Watchdogs or something for a joke.

Pages 12-13 are kinda interesting but I'm not sure of the full context there. I think the darkened people in the crowd are probably just people who aren't impressed with heroes anymore, but the guy hiding the gear- maybe a PLA sympathizer?

I definitely got the vibe he was, if not a direct PLA sympathizer, an otherwise normal guy who thought about taking things into his own hands. Who needs heroes anyway because I have my own way of fighting back This is the whole playbook of the PLA, to cause distrust in the hero system and go hey maybe YOU can do things andalsomaybedieforourcausewhenwerevolt I feel like next chapter on our aftermath tour (maybe we'll shift focus to the Big Three and the UA teachers for an update there?) we're going to have more stain sympathizers. Heroes not doing their duty just due to fear, criticism &/or backlash, to the point where entire agencies in a town are running off, is probably going to get more people on his side and that'll cause more shisms.

So on page 2 he was lying to his father that he didn't do anything -- on page 18 we see what Hawks actually did when he went into town. So what I think happened when Hawks finally went to the police is that one of them recognized who young Keigo actually was and tipped off the Safety Commission who took over the case.
