oh jay posted:The Sludge villain from the very first chapter did a smash and grab on convenience store seemingly with no major injuries. Speaking of Shigaraki, I like how his whole encounter with Deku at the mall doesn't really change what his goal is (it went from destroying All Might to... destroying All Might) but it does lead to Shigaraki finding his own reasons instead of just parroting empty rhetoric like he did at the USJ

The arson wasn't the sludge villain. Bakugo set the alley on fire with explosions trying to get the guy off him.

Sludge Guy is extremely casual and taunting about how possessing Deku's body is going to suffocate him to death so uh not really inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt

Clearly he was only trying to steal Izuku's body to feed his starving family. His family are cannibals btw.

Something interesting in the latest chapter is that the previous director recruited Nagant when she was still in junior high. But when she killed him, it seems the lesson the commission took away from it is that middle-schoolers already developed a will of their own so the best step is to groom heroes from a younger age to make them more dependent on the commission, as seen in Hawks. While I get killing off the commission is to help move the story along to the finale, it would've been interesting to see how Deku and the others handle dismantling such a poisonous opponent.

You can see the commission meet for the first time after All Might retires and they're basically like "Man we kinda relied too much on this one guy to keep society's wheels spinning while we worked in the background. Oh well, here we go killing again!" And then they gangpress Hawks into being a spy.

And yet, the only person we've ever seen Hawks actually kill was Twice during the big raid and even that was after he tried to convince him to surrender. Either Hawks has never had to do much assassination, or the commission cut back on that after it drove one of their own to turn on them.

That may have been more due to Hawks spending enough time with the LOV to feel sympathy for Twice. But yes, I can also see them having decided not to use Hawks for assassinations much, especially with how rapidly he jumped up the ranks. I mean, the guy was the #3 ranked hero by the time he was 22. I don't know what age he became an independent pro hero introduced to the public but as soon as it became clear he was popular with the masses, you'd probably give someone else the assassination jobs so you don't risk your golden poster boy getting found out as a stone cold killer.

The Hero Commission is not actually at all related to policework as far as I know. From memory they made a clear deliniation between heroes and police at some point, heroes are legally allowed to fight with quirks and are closer to special agents/emergency aid workers, whilst the police took on a larger position based on detective work and investigation to support the heroes in tracking down villains. The Hero Commission is the government oversight for the heroes, so it's the equivalent in position to whatever government branch is in charge of the police but unrelated. This of course does not stop heroes in MHA from effectively being super police, just worth remembering the actual in universe distinctions between the positions in terms of legal matters.

I'm sure AFO just made her face explode by having a quirk where if he touches someone, he can later detonate them, but I also like the idea that actually some poor bastard in the past had a quirk that was nothing but "I can make my own face explode, potentially killing me!" and AFO was like "oh word, I gotta have that to give to somebody and remote activate it when they least expect it."

I still don't get what proving you're one of the "good ones" does to quash Lady Nagant's issues. You're one of the good ones, so loving what? You got to stay clean while other people did grossly illegal/immoral acts to keep the facade up. What "light" is she supposed to shine anywhere- she was literally used, manipulated, and thrown away by the system you're trying to save- just being even nicer as you punch the normal villains doesn't fix it. You cannot "hero" even harder to fix a broken status quo.

I feel like Nagant wasn't actually a Stain style fanatic. She killed a guy because she was in a hosed up situation and was then thrown in super jail. She's lived with her bitterness for years but she worked as a pro and her flashbacks show she did believe in heroes as a kid. She wanted to believe again.

You cannot "hero" even harder to fix a broken status quo. Nagant isn't a hardcore AfO loyalist and is only working with him out of bitterness and a lack of anything better to do, so it's not like it's hard to shake her convictions. Deku breaking through to her doesn't fix her issues so much as it shows her that there's still some potential good in the system - that if it can produce someone like Deku, then maybe it isn't completely 100% rotten and can be changed for the better. It's very similar to how Stain acknowledged that Deku was a true hero and was worthy of life despite despising the system with all of his heart and soul. You absolutely can "hero" harder to try to change the broken status quo, specifically by dragging the shady poo poo that supports the existing system into the light and holding those responsible accountable. Hell, Endeavor is currently doing this - despite his entire reputation and career being (rightly) in complete tatters, he's still doing his job to fix the situation and make up for his mistakes despite the easy way out being to simply retire and live the rest of his life in comfort on his giant piles of money. Now that Deku knows about what the hero commission has done/is doing, do you think he's not going to tell All Might and Best Jeanist and Edgeshot and Eraserhead about it and they're not going to bring it public?

Well there was that dude in Vigilantes whose quirk is "suicide bomb" and has a bomb for a head.

Unless Overhaul can somehow still use his quirk with no arms, I'm not sure how Nagant survives this. I guess she might live long enough to give them info on where All For One is, but I doubt he actually told her where he is if he predicted her having a change a heart and planting a bomb on her.

I'm just not sure why Horikoshi would have paired the two of them unless this was leading to some sort of redemption/anything for Overhaul. As things stand right now, if she just dies I don't know why anyone's gonna bring him to his boss which makes his inclusion confusing beyond the one moment of misdirection in this chapter.

christmas boots posted:I dunno. I feel like Deku would do it Yeah. Overhaul has nothing left, he's not a threat anymore, why not give him this one thing. I feel like, at some point, Eri will use her powers to restore the boss, either because Deku asked her to, or because she volunteered to do it on her own. At which point Overhaul will have a breakdown, realizing just how wrong he was about Eri.
