yeah this is rough. Why is he so insistent on rushing it. Would his manga sales start falling or fear of being axed… (not that it is but boy he is writing/drawing like he has a gun pointed at the back of his head)

I don't think he's rushing necessarily either but it just feels like it due to the short chapters. Basically every other long runner is suffering similar issues.

Yeah I've actually liked the last few chapters, which is why the length really stands out to me now; I don't think the two are directly related though.

It still was that for her and that was even connected to her power. She was still a crazy murderer but blood had an actual tangible meaning to her. Now she is just using it as a weapon.

That is true though lol, I think that mass murder she did on the the MLA felt pretty murder-y but tbf it was outta self-preservation and it was the last time we saw her use her quirk before becoming Twice. I still think this new quirk to her quirk manifesting in this very specific manner where she can use Twice's quirk, her doubles can use Twice's quirk, but doubles of other people CAN'T use their quirks is a little too narratively convenient lol. Woulda been so easy to handwave it as the clones being two far removed from the source to use their quirks. Also, what did Toga think Dabi's plan was lol. I kinda assumed they all knew Dabi's plan was die screaming. EDIT: Also also, the only thing keeping this Toga-Ochako beef going was that in every interaction Ochako had no idea what the gently caress Toga was talking about. Personally I thought their whole dynamic was super weak and couldn't imagine there being a satisfying conclusion to "Ochako figures out what the gently caress Toga is talking about" especially when there's been no groundwork laid in this development. it's like a watered down Shigaraki-Deku for girls and the Shigaraki-Deku dynamic was already pretty weak lol.

Tite Kubo talked about how he was sure if he stopped for a proper break, he'd never get going again at the end of Bleach, and this feels like the same thing.

I hope there's a long break between anime seasons so it can get the bleach treatment and stuff can get expanded on/changed later on because the pacing here is just awful and it feels like every ten chapters would be one normal chapter or there's so much shoved into one short chapter that should've been spread out into 20 and nothing in between

https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/my-hero-academia-chapter-391/chapter/39384?action=read https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1016708 Part of me wants to be charitable because it's a short chapter and Horikoshi is clearly dying. But this is terrible, and every subsequent Toga page, split amongst however many half length chapters, will be terrible. Please just finish this subplot as quickly as possible.

This is, of course, a dumbfuck question. But if the issue is *I'm dying and *I wont finish if I stop... Why doesnt the publisher just say "Finish it at a normal pace and we'll sell it as a maxideluxe 3 volume End of MHA set"? Like go from I NEED 3 PAGES EVERY DAY to, like, oh a page every 2 days.

we're at least within spitting distance of the end, right? a couple more chapters to resolve toga, a couple chapters for iron might to sacrifice himself against teen AFO, then the Bakugo resurrection and Shigaraki conclusion? there's the kurogiri/eraserhead stuff but that can literally be teleported into any of the other three

Every author in Weekly Jump is dying and Horikoshi doesn't have the cache of someone like Togashi or Oda to get special treatment.

I'm pretty sure he probably does at this point but he, personally, doesn't want to stop until it's done. MHA isn't quite One Piece big, but it's a decade-long series with a full multi-season anime adaptation, multiple movies and video games, and tons of random spinoff merch level of big. e: Also Ochako saying "You're sad because you can't do everything Twice could" while fighting on top of a gigantic infinite mountain of TogaTwice clones that have grey gooed their way over every hero in their way is honestly hilarious.

If we still did that dumb "Big Three" thing we were doing in Bleach and Naruto era, MHA would absolutely be member of the current "Big Three". Horikoshi absolutely has a cache of goodwill he could tap into to get a special treatment that would make him stop dying from overwork, if he wanted to.

Yeah, I really don't care for this subplot. I get why Uraraka and Toga are paired up for this final fight, the main female hero vs. the main female villain, but Uraraka really doesn't have much reason to care this much about why Toga is sad while she's busy mass murdering people. They've only met like, 2 or 3 times, and it was very briefly each time. There's no meaningful connection between them other than I guess they both like the same guy.

I mean, there's a reason there's no "Big Three" any more, and that reason is because the underlying circumstances are different now. The "Big Three", as much as it was three series, was a point in time. Which is to say, I'm sure Horikoshi has some pull, but I'm not sure he has that level of pull.

Funky Valentine posted:And it was a briefer point in time than most people remember. Nearly 15 years...? Naruto ran 1999 to 2014, Bleach was '01 to '16, One Piece is obviously still going. If you want to say "only at the height of their popularity" then there's still nearly a full decade of them being concurrently popular.

Was bloodlust being mixed with Toga's love not an issue when she turned into Ochako and dropped a lady from a gorillian feet up?

I'd guess the difference is in how much she's embodying the person she's copying. At that time she was thinking about Ochako and how much she envied her and wanted to be like her. Here she's just trying to use the quirk to kill as many heroes as possible. She isn't trying to "be" Twice other than a way to kill people.

She's turning into Twice fine, and using his quirk perfectly. It's every other villain she's trying to turn into after doing the Twice thing that's her not "loving" them enough, or as you say, trying to "be" Shigaraki etc. as a way to kill people.

It turns out, she just misunderstood the interaction between Quirks and Twice clones can't transform simply because they are Twice and not Toga-transformed-into-Twice. She can actually transform into other LoV members and use their Quirks just fine.

In hindsight, is there any reason Toga can't just send a bunch of Twice clones into the air, turn them into Gigantomachia, and just dive bomb everyone until they're done for?
