Rhonne posted:People in the anime thread are now debating if Bakugou would join the villains. The wait for season 3 is going to kill me. I honestly have to keep catching myself. I posted about Bakugo up to a point, but now that the villain debate has started, I have to take a step back. I, too, thought Bakugo might end up being a villain while I was reading, but thought that it would be stupid to have happen. I'm glad it didn't.

Fabricated posted:Viz is very dry and literal as most professional translations are. They've messed up pretty bad a handful of times too. Viz isn't awful, but yeah, the amount of times they get speech bubbles wrong across their catalog is kind of surprising. Sometime's it's not even particularly difficult layouts or anything where they get them switched, either. I remember that the first print run of the 2nd or 3rd volume of the One Piece manga had the last few pages of the thing replaced with the first few pages of the last chapter, I think missing out on a big ending move. It was so long ago that I don't remember the exact details, but it really hurt their reputation with me for awhile. Of course, this isn't unique to them, and scanlations do it a lot too, but I'd expect more from a professional team with, ostensibly, a similarly professional QA team.

TFRazorsaw posted:I've never really gotten the insistence someone people have that Deku should have been quirkless. Not only would it result in them jettisoning a good portion of the entire plot considering One For All is gone, but it'd be an albatross that would require them having to constantly write around to have Deku not being murdered by people with superpowers. On top of that, people constantly frame it in terms of a disability narrative, because Deku not having powers is analogous to being "disabled" in the show's society and they think that giving him a Quirk means he's been fixed. Speaking as someone with something that's commonly considered a developmental disorder, this has always felt extremely patronizing, and I'm not really eager for more narratives where the "normal" people are now the ones marginalized. I didn't read Naruto for very long, but I remember this working pretty well with Rock Lee. He couldn't do nijutsu, but he trained his body so heavily that a lot of people just couldn't keep up with him physically. He was pretty interesting in what little I saw of him, and I think he could've worked as a protagonist for his own thing up to a point. I think it'd be kind of hard to keep up a shonen manga where the protagonist never learns any cool new magic tricks, though, even if they do get physically stronger.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I don't follow this closely enough to know what's going on with him, but I hope that he is OK. I mean, he even says he can hear his bones creaking under the stress, so obviously there's something more to what he's doing. But the full cowling is getting his entire body used to using the power instead of just on limb at a time, so it's probably easier for him to reach a bit further than usual in extreme circumstance. I think kaioken is a pretty good analogy, since Goku would still be wiped out after using it, and could only do so for a limited amount of time. But pushing that far, and even beyond, consistently enough is what got him to super saiyan levels, so being able to go 20% briefly is a big step on the way to controlling 100% completely.

I actually appreciate the simplicity and subtlety of Deku's costume, because he's basically nobody with a quirk he doesn't fully understand. Once he's the Pillar of Justice, he'll probably improve it. I just hope he doesn't change the look of his shoes, or the rad metal thing Mei made for them. I don't really think any of the costumes are bad, though. They tend to fit the characters well enough, and none of them are offensively ugly or anything.

Ytlaya posted:He still has to hit them with his hair, and he can only use it when he isn't moving. The drawbacks help balance the ability.

Sure, but a power without a consequence to using it is pretty boring. Especially one that has the power to very locally undo things. So if her power does end up having no cost to use, it'll be OFA/AFO levels of powerful. I really doubt, though, that it won't have a cost, or at least a restriction.

Vengarr posted:The only thing I can't tell is whether Deku is legit releasing steam from his eyes the way All Might does when he transforms, or whether it's a stylistic thing.

I think she has to touch her hands together to release her quirk, so a swing probably wouldn't work. She could probably throw it over somebody's head and make it drop on them if she got the timing right, like in her fight with Bakugou.

Venuz Patrol posted:i'd say the difference here is that hirokoshi actually mixes his costume design into the story. no matter how interesting the fashion on the front page was, everybody in any chapter of bleach would be wearing either a plain black or a plain white robe I mean if, like Venngar said, Kubo's hand was forced and his characters basically had to stay in their robes and poo poo for the sake of keeping it a battle manga, then that's not something I can blame him for. Kubo very obviously still cared about drawing good poo poo from what he did in his characters spreads, which were always pretty phenomenal. And Horikoshi very obviously still cares about his art as well, and seems to still care about the story to some extent. But if his heart isn't in it, or his hand is being forced to draw and write something he doesn't want to, then no amount of spectacular art will change that. Manatee Cannon posted:early bleach was great and I miss it Early Bleach was very good for a surprisingly long time, but some switch got flipped at the Soul Society arc that immediately turned it into a power levels manga, and it only got worse from there. I got to the beginning of the Vaizard/Arrancar stuff before dropping it.

As much as it did boil down to who had the better bankai, don't forget that one of the most powerful people Ichigo faced in the Soul Society arc was a man who did not know how to unleash his shikai, but also had so much raw power oozing out of him that he needed something to absorb the excess. Bleach had the groundwork for power levels very early. I really doubt that MHA is getting anywhere close to power levels with anybody but Midoriya, since we have seen the 100% he can be. Everybody else seems like learning to better control and more cleverly use their existing quirks at their pretty much established levels.

PMush Perfect posted:With 20% now actually feasible, I suspect we have 20%, then maybe 35%, then 50%, then 75%, then 100%, then PLUS ULTRA%. To be fair, All Might only managed to beat Nomu over repeated use of his power. If Deku could use OfA for the same amount of time at the same rate, he could probably just as handily take care of Nomu.
