That is the most Dabi thing Touya could've possibly done.

I liked it. It's definitely a different tack than I expected, but I supposed Endeavor's not such a piece of poo poo that he'd be the way he was at the start if he'd directly caused Touya's injuries by egging him on. Not that this clears everything he's done but it does recontextualize a lot and I do appreciate that Dabi's not getting an "out" by the narrative so to speak, whatever Endeavor's failings are he made certain decisions of his own will and those are his to own.

It'd be really cool if they made Vigilantes an anime and used it to give MHA some time to get even more breathing room chapter wise. The first 3 seasons/63 episodes of MHA covered up to around chapter 120. I can see Vigilantes wrapping up around there, so about 5 cours worth of anime already written out. I'm bored so I did some math about the future pacing of the show. Yknow, for funsies. The MHA anime covers about 2.3 chapters per episode, and currently 108 chapters haven't been adapted yet, so they're about 3.5 cours behind. I didn't include Season 1 in this calculation because it's a slight outlier in how many chapters an episode covers. That pace means if Season 5 is a normal 25 (non-recap) episode season, it'll end about 58 chapters from where Season 4 left off, putting us at Chapter 250, just a couple chapters off of the end of the Endeavor Agency Arc (Chapter 252), the last arc to end before the current arc. That's probably the stopping point for this upcoming season. Meaning this season is the Joint Training Arc, Meta Liberation Army (My Villian Academy) Arc, and the Endeavor Agency Arc. Something else that's exciting is the Joint Training Arc (along with what wasn't covered of chapters 192 and 193) means that the 25 chapters that compose that span are almost a full cour's worth of episodes. So, probably gets padded out to 12 episodes (from ~10.7), we get the first episode of the MVA Arc, and then the next episode gives us what's sure to be a kickin' rad villainous OP.

lovely Speed Scans ahoy: https://w21.readheroacademia.com/manga/boku-no-hero-academia-chapter-301/ lol @ people looking at leaks who thought this chapter sort of exonerates Endeavor. It kinda makes Endeavor's eugenics project look even loving weirder/grosser.

I like all of this except they have been doing a recap episode to kick off the season. My guess would be the next season ends with the chapter where they start their stint with endeavor. But I also didn't expect overhaul to go by so quickly.

I could see them ending on a lead-in to the Endeavor Agency arc, because that gives you an opportunity to do a recap and a real short arc before you spool up the War Arc instead of just slamming straight into the big Act 3 opener.

My guess would be the next season ends with the chapter where they start their stint with endeavor. But I also didn't expect overhaul to go by so quickly. Oh, yeah my calculation accounted for the recap. The seasons have been 25 regular episodes and 1 recap episode. I could totally see them doing the beginning of the Endeavor Training arc at the end of the season, and the beginning of season 6 starting with parts of chapter 250, to make Deku/Bakugo/Todoroki's growth feel a little more earned. Another nice thing about that being a season break point is, as Fabricated pointed out, avoiding that pretty sudden jump from the MVA arc to the current arc. While the manga is generally a bit more spaced out, the Endeavor Agency arc will only be like, 5 episodes long. Not much real world time between the two Villain arcs.

Also, man. That's a lot of silent panels. Feels like Horikoshi didn't used to use them quite so much in the past, but they really add to the impact.

Lemme see if I got this right from the lovely scans... Endeavour convinced Rei to try for more kids to get one with a combination of their Quirk so that they could point at that kid and get Toya to give up his attempts to become a pro-hero and surpass All-Might? And against her better judgement and initial protests she ultimately agreed? And instead of going "huh, guess I can give it up now that there's a baby with the perfect Quirk", Toya loving snaps and tries to immolate his baby brother.

Warden posted:Lemme see if I got this right from the lovely scans... Yes, because he inherited Endeavour's drive. The chapter showcases that All Might's success drove them both down darker paths. Endeavour because not only did he want to surpass All Might, but doing so, in his mind, would mean Touya would stop. He couldn't understand, even though he should have because as Touya says, he's his son, that Touya would never be satisfied being told he can't do something. The Manga has done a lot to both establish Endeavour's will and drive as negative and positive. He solves more cases than anyone, but he doesn't care what he has to do to reach the top. That drive bred hatred as he simply wasn't able to be what he could be. Take note of the start of the chapter, Endeavour was considered a prospect for Number 1. Then, on top of that, he came from UA, with the slogan "Plus Ultra". He even says he hated the slogan when fighting the High End. And when you look at him, you can actually see why. It's not just "Bad dad hates cool school" because the Plus Ultra Mindset is what drove him to where he is. He was instilled with a belief to go beyond and to strive to the peak, whereupon his hopes of ever being no.1 died when All Might showed up. It's actually fairly interesting how they've built the character.

Fabricated posted:Like if Horikoshi was trying to soften parts of Endeavor's character it looks even more hosed up here. Like, he basically is like "okay, start popping them out" to Rei apparently as a response to Touya being unsuitable and being unable to be convinced he is- and you get multiple panels of Rei looking more and more run down as she has Natsu and Shoto. Thats...pretty hosed up! Also even the Doctor in this chapter says his eugenics plan is stupid quasi-legal bullshit that has consequences and he should knock it off.

We're still a few years away from Touya's "accident" so I'll be interested in seeing how much the family dynamic changed after he, you know, tried to murder his baby brother. I imagine this is the point where Endeavor we full rear end in a top hat to everyone.

The VIZ website is currently down. I can only assume it's because of All Might attempting to stop us from seeing how innocent Endeavour is.

"The Wrong Way to Put Out A Fire". Horikoshi, you cheeky fucker.

# ? Feb 14, 2021 18:27 |
A couple interesting tidbits in this chapter:
Speculating... Enji has a history of freezing up when his kids are in danger (Natsuo with Ending, Dabi's reveal) and if I had to guess he's probably gonna freeze up here again in the flashback. I'm thinking Wrong Way to Put Out a Fire, Part 2 is going to have either Rei smack down Touya (and also establishing a pattern of reflexive violence towards her children...) or Baby Shoto reflexively defends himself with ice and that being the final straw for Touya to realize he's been outdone and chilling out for a few years before The Incident.
