I wonder if Vigilantes is going to end with Koichi getting at least a provisional license and becoming a full fledged hero (if he doesn’t wind up dead in the process that is), kid’s more than earned it at this point in my opinion.

In the vein of 'things that will never happen but I hope so hard', I'm hoping that Koichi took a sabbatical to hang out with Captain Celeb in America for some reason, and pops up as a sidekick in the main series.

It could certainly still be a coincidence but it stood out to me that the repeated line over Bakugo at the end is said by the previous holder who looks suspiciously similar.

Deku died in chapter 1 and Bakugo has to relive a thousand lives trying to find a way to save him.

His desire to save his friend grew so great he learned how to explode space-time.

The thing I'm really interested in about Vigilantes at the moment is that now that the story has brought back to the forefront Koichi's inability to hit a person with Shooty-Go-Blam, I don't think there's any way this all ends with him managing to do it successfully. At the very least, I don't think that resolution would be very good. I'm really curious to see how this concludes now, it's pretty exciting that Vigilantes' big climax is all about defending someone and even the violence is in service of that instead of massive spectacle. Koichi's getting stronger, sure, but it's always in the moment to protect someone, never for its own sake.

2 O'Clock mentioned in the last chapter that more than half his body is made of bomb cells, so at this point I'm expecting Koichi to keep finding ways to counter him and ruin his plans without hurting him until he gets so mad that he just blows himself up in order to take everyone out(and Koichi still finds a way to get everyone out of danger)

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

I know it's not really the point of the chapter but I wanna see more of that Sharkman from page 8. Horikoshi is so aggravatingly good at background characters that look cool as gently caress and only appear for one panel.

lol at the new OP being named Everything Will Be Alright

No! No it really won't! In fact this is about the point it stops being alright!

yeah, the new op has such dark implications in the context of where the manga is now

also after learning about lady nagant's whole deal, it retroactively makes more sense why dabi would put any kind of trust in hawks when he says he's ready to take radical action to overthrow the current order

Looking at the OP for this part of the anime, there's a split second frame with Yamada, Aizawa, and the cat from Vigilantes. I wonder if this means we'll get their interrogation of Kurogiri at the tail end of the season

Okay, I've been reading through Manga Plus because it was officially the app for the EU, and as far as I was aware the Shonen Jump subscription was US only, but nope, I could just sign up and read through the entire backlog in the SJ app this whole time. What the hell is Manga Plus even for? It doesn't even have Vigilantes!

I dunno how much the Viz app is restricted, but I am fairly sure Viz's Jump website is inaccessible to various locales where MangaPlus isn't.

Any particular reason why all things MHA related are on hiatus this week?

There was a new One Piece so clearly it doesn’t apply to every manga/anime.

There was an event scheduled at the same time as MHA's anime. Meanwhile, the manga had a scheduled break so Horikoshi wouldn't go nearly killing himself like he did with the Yakuza arc.

Basically, just a coincidence of timing.

It's funny. I remember watching MHA for the first time and hearing All Might's "Nothing is nobler than self-sacrifice" line and thinking it was a little :yikes: . Not the intended sentiment All Might wanted to get across, mind you, but the underlying unintended implication that discouraged self-preservation. Particularly for someone like Deku who had little sense of self-worth.

I didn't think the story would actually turn that into a character arc of showing exactly why that mentality was bad.

One thing I noticed at the end there, Bakugo's costume looks all banged up and I think he's still bandaged up from when All For One stabbed him. He's going into this fight injured.

I still think a fun character addition to Bakugou would just to give him some non-descript permanent-but-still-some-how-not-dibilitating injury that just makes him cough up blood like All Might when he gets agitated. It'd be a funny spin on Bakugou/Midoriya being the different parts of All Might, but Bakugou somehow getting the blood coughing injury instead of glass-bones Midoriya.
