The next chapter is Mineta making out with Izuku and now this manga is a boy's love set in high school and also Mineta is now hot.

I just find it hilarious how Mineta manages to incite seething hatred even when he's trying to be wholesome and supportive. :allears:

"Go on until you're stopped."
It's primarily dumb because "Mineta took this time to come out to Izuku as part of his show of sincerity" would in fact be a significantly better story and would actually give Mineta's character something resembling a point, but everybody knows in their hearts that that isn't going to turn out to be the case.

It seems pretty clear to me that this is just an extension of his character trait where he reads relationships/sex into absolutely everything.

It's the equivalent of Bakugo making explosion puns.

Saying that you've "fallen for" (in those exact words; translation may vary in an attempt to mitigate... exactly what happened here from happening, here) a guy that you respect/care for is a pretty common macho turn of phrase in Japan. It happens in the Yakuza games a few times.

Not that those games are y'know, DEVOID of any homosexual subtext, but still

Izuku and Mineta have actually be hanging out a lot offscreen, like going go-karting and fishing together.

Mineta is really torn up that Izuku went full vigilante before they had their monthly hunting trip.

Next chapter is going to be real awkward when Iida and Deku crash into the side of a building because they're too busy looking at each other and not at where they're going while flying through the air at dangerously high speeds.

I also feel like "learning how to use your powers to safely land from a tall height" is like the first thing they teach you in hero school.

Now I'm imagining Iida lying on his back using Recipro Burst as landing thrusters like the Falcon-9

Ochako used her power to stop Deku from being a concrete smear early on, so I imagine the same could apply here.

Ochako gives Deku a hug, except her fingers touch and Iida impacts the concrete at terminal velocity

But hey, at least Deku's okay

I was going to comment on how Iida has no way of actually stopping himself and would be extremely dead if he didn't perfectly intersect with Deku

But you could say the same thing about how Deku travels around in general; it would require superhuman durability that isn't really part of his powerset. So you have to just ignore the whole "human bodies aren't meant to be flung around at high speeds" thing. (though for some reason the manga actually attempts to explain this with Bakugou, who IIRC is explicitly stated to have a body that can tolerate the backlash from his explosions)

I'm guessing Iida could activate one side of his thrusters, turn around, then go full burst to slow down.

Superhuman durability is baked into pretty much every physical-oriented superpower set in any form of media unless they explicitly make the point that it isn't. Without some form of major durability boost, a person might have the muscles to lift a car but their body isn't going to like the process very much.

This is why everyone getting buttmad over mushroom girl is so funny, children getting body checked at 45mph into giant steel beams is one thing but I draw the line at mild suffocation!!!!!!
