I like reading early too, but I'm not putting too much stock in the dialogue until I can compare it to the official release.

After doing some research the original manga refers to all of the escaped convicts collectively as "jail breakers" in english while the translation just opts for escaped convict. It's not specifically Muscular, but you'd never know that because the speed scans continually use it as a proper noun like it's referring to a person's title


Maybe people get weird about speed scans because it's frustrating for the conversation point for discussing a week's chapter to start with a hack job shat out in an hour by some college kid failing his Japanese courses.

The official translation also uses it as a proper noun, repeatedly. This isn't speedscan specific at all.

e: Oh you mean the last chapter specifically. Confusing "jail breakers" with "Jailbreaker" when the latter is established to refer to a specific character seems perfectly understandable to me. Especially since if the word was in English I'm guessing there wasn't anything to indicate it was plural.

Genuine question to people who don't like speedscan chat: Why don't you just not read the thread for two days?

Like from my perspective if you are so invested in MHA that it bothers you to pause reading the thread for 48 hours, then you might as well be reading both so that you can always be up to date on what's going on. It's not like people are posting untranslated panels out of context, speedscans are fine as long as you remember to take their translations with a grain of salt.

It bugs me a little because I always have to wait days to weeks to catch up on vigilantes because viz doesn't want my country to read it and I either scroll past vigilante chat or stop reading until the new main chapter drops. I don't get why people are bothered this much with something that's comparably much easier to deal with.

Speedscan avoiders also can't discuss Vigilantes, since it comes out on Thursday/Friday right when speedscan discussions are in full swing and it's all the same black bars so screw trying to pick through that.

Also, the only thing I want to read less than discourse based on bad translations is discourse about how bad those translations are. There is no reason to even acknowledge the existence of those scans after Sunday morning.

Or you know... Keep it in your pants for 2 more days.
Why rush to read a vaseline covered scan with a shoddy translation that makes things harder to understand and has caused the moronic twitter mob to harrass mangaka on twitter? Every friday a chapter is trending worldwide I roll my eyes because it speaks volumes on how for the lack of a better word, entitled some people are. You're reading illegally obtained material. Why do I have to avoid a thread for 2 days because people can't stop committing (minor) crimes?

Big agree.
I always forget about the stupid speed scans, and when a vigilantes drops I click on the thread to find a bunch of black bars.
Screw that.

Maybe the rule should be that speedscan chat is banned, but speedscan avoiders should have to read the speedscans and can't read the official release. That way everyone gets to be policed to suit other people's fancy.

I've asked a couple of times about how the people in this thread feel would be the best way to handle spoilers, and besides spoiler tagging discussion before the official translation, the results have always been heavily mixed, with some people fine just ignoring the spoiler text, and others annoyed at how it ruins the discourse around the chapter due to faulty misconceptions based on shoddy translations. It seems like vigilantes discussion getting mixed in with the regular series is also leading to some issues as well.

Normally I would recommend making a spinoff thread for vigilantes to solve one of these issues, but given how close it seems to be towards the ending, maybe it's not worth splitting off at this late date?

Which I guess takes me to the next point: is it worth creating a MHA leaks/fantranslation thread concurrent to this thread? That way Vigilantes and the official translation for MHA can be discussed in here, and people can have a free for all with the fantranslations in the other thread. They would be able to talk about the chapter without spoiler bars in that thread as soon as the fantranslation is linked, and before that, they can discuss early chapter text leaks with spoiler bars.

I mean it is only an issue if you want to discuss the children's media you are consuming. Otherwise they have no power to stop you.

If you do want to discuss it then it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask that you read the version that isn't rush translated so you're not effectively arguing a point that doesn't exist.

I don't think it should be banned or whatever but being weirdly angry at being asked is weird because why would you care enough to spend time arguing on the internet but not long enough to read a chapter which probably takes less time than it took me to make this poat

I prefer the current status quo. A third thread to juggle for people will probably result in more spoilers when the anime thread was already being regularly spoiled. That, or the spoiler thread just winds up becoming the main thread.

The thread is mostly functional as is. The changes I would make as super important official rules are:

Stop black boxing Vigilante discussion. We only discuss official releases so we don't need them? Unless I don't understand how they are supposed to work.

A corollary to this is only use black boxes for actual unreleased spoilers, not for speculation or punchlines for bad jokes.

Never reference speedscans past Sunday morning. Posting "I can't believe All Might is AFO's father" is actually discussing the comic. Posting "the speedscan made it sound like AFO is actually All Might's father" is not actually discussing the comic.

It's usually a courtesy to spoiler bar things about an hour or two after a chapter is released, to give people some time to read it.

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
No one has yet refuted the point of “the conversation about the chapter is halfway to burnt out by the time the official page is out.” And the only counterargument so far is “but it’s my right to drown out discussion of the spin-off so that I can talk about this free media I pirate, if you don’t like it, don’t read the thread on the day the Vigilantes chapter comes out.”

It’s not even like there’s nothing to talk about on those days like the early leaks discussion that happen on Wednesday and Thursday, there’s actual thread content being run over because it’s apparently the end of the goddamn world if you have to stop tacitly encouraging people to support the stupidest kind of piracy.

It wasn’t as bad when we got the chapter trivia at the same time, because there was more to talk about besides “wow the lovely speedscans were lovely again,” but now all we have is the chapter itself, and the people who read the speedscans have already gone through the whole arc of the conversation, and those of us with even a grain of patience better hope there’s enough scraps left to have an engaging discussion.

The MHA subreddit does something like this and it seems way healthier than the past few pages of this thread so that might be the way to do it.

Just keep it in one thread.

It’s only an issue for a minority of posters here, each week we see a large of amount of people come into the thread to discuss the speedscan and then we get clarification when the official version comes out.

It’s been a working system for a long time that quite a few people seem to enjoy and dividing threads is just going to lower the amount of discussion overall or cause confusion. That seems like a poor outcome to me and we also really don’t need another thread for MHA when it already has two

I seem to remember we still had issues when the anime thread was called something like "MHA :Anime thread, Season 3" and the manga thread was "My Hero Academia Manga thread : NOT THE ANIME THREAD" so I think it's more on people being morons than the thread titles.
