Also I really, really wish they'd stop with the fan art before every chapter, and that goes for any other scan group that does it. It's weird.

Guy A. Person posted:We are 30 issues in and people are already worried that a character in the antagonist-ally role is going to turn into Sasuke despite already having a drastically different personality and relationship with the cast. What? This post brings up something I really like about Bakugou's characterization and the writing of the series as a whole. At least the way I seem to be reading it, most people aside from Deku don't even like him much because he's a huge angry dick all the time. He's strong, of course, and people would line up to team with him because of that. But it doesn't seem like too many other characters really like him. Unlike the aforementioned example of Sasuke where everyone seemed to constantly fawn over him and bend backwards to make sure he was the most important person in the plot. Rand Brittain posted:I don't care if Bakugou becomes a sweet boy who's kind to old ladies or not, but I'd at least like him to smarten up. As it stands he's never going to amount to anything as a hero and everybody but him knows it. It would be nice if he'd figure out that he needs to either (a) become a nice guy; (b) pretend to be a nice guy; or (c) turn heel officially.

Prison Warden posted:All Might wasn't the first person to have One for All was he? I mean, I'm assuming that, given how the Quirk works, it isn't his quirk, and that All Might got it from someone else. It'd probably take a generation or two to accumulate All Might's insane godlike power and Quirks seem to have been around for a couple of generations, assuming it's from the dawn of quriks existing, All Might's gotta be at least second or third generation. And the way he talks about it before telling Deku about it at the least heavily implies he wasn't the first. Can they get it back, too? Like, assuming the previous host doesn't have to die to pass on the power. I imagine someone old, weak and now living a rather unimpressive life of obscurity might want that back if they weren't as good and heroic as All Might is.

I'd put my bets on that. dude looks a bit like a burn victim years down the line who never got reconstructive surgery.

So my theory is that if One for All is about sacrificing yourself to empower the future generation then All for One is about sacrificing the future for yourself. So Scarface dude is going to use some quirk to take over handguy's body to use him as a new host or something. And while he probably does actually have an immortality quirk somewhere, he's probably been raising progressively stronger host bodies to steal.

My friend thinks this is true because he and black mist have vaguely similar builds and his tie and coat looks kind of like black mist's outfit. His quirk is also an easy one to fake.

He doesn't know the true nature of Deku's quirk, so to him it must seem like both his parents combined were just weaker than a high school student. Then again he also just saw Deku's arms turn to pulp from the force of hitting that dude. He might understand.

HenryEx posted:There's gonna be a reason that AfO raises a successor (other than "but OfA is doing it too!" of course), and the reason will remove him from the playing field in the near future Well All for One has no face and needs life support to live. He's pretty hosed up. I think by the end of this arc, even if neither AfO and OfA are dead they won't be fighting any time soon, leaving Deku and Shigaraki to take the center stage.

I think Allmight is going to live. Solely because it's way too predictable for him to die here, no doubt he won't be able to keep on fighting but I think he's going to at least survive this fight. I think All for One is going to live too, possibly die giving his powers up to his successor because at this point there doesn't seem to be much keeping ol' faceless alive.

Honestly if we're going "there can be no coincidences" with Deku's parentage then with his dad having a fire breath power then it's more likely he's a reject from Endevor's family line somewhere along the lines since obviously only one person and their family can have fire powers at all.

Gyges posted:It looked to me like it's just Deku'd, and he used All For One's power redirect that sent the power of his punch back at him to move the power from his right to his left arm. It looks like he just tried to block with the initial punch and his arm was basically obliterated by AfO's mega punch so he could smash him with his other arm. Seems like he's going to survive but definitely be out of the hero game after this and since this has all been caught on live TV I'm guessing everyone's going to know Deku's secret now.

Neo_Crimson posted:Going into this series, I thought All Might was going to be a mean-spirited parody of Superman and was pleasantly surprised he wasn't. Not so much a parody but there is a series sort of like that called Irredeemable that I thought was pretty neat. It's about a superman type super hero, invulnerable and super strong with other assorted powers who just sort of snaps one day and blows some people up.

Akett posted:Deku's biggest problem is that he's a weak vessel for OFA and he needs to strengthen it. His best option for gains on using OFA is actual gains. Weighted training clothes then? Then when the fighting gets serious he can throw his purple turban to the ground and amaze everyone at how high his power level gets.

Butt Ghost posted:The Justice League cartoon was pretty anime. You have no idea. Also the DCAU was great and infinitely better than the actual comic storylines. Slime posted:bakugou gets 100% psycho face all the time and he's not evil, 50% psycho face means nothing Like you said, Bakugou is crazy all the time. We've had that established as his character, a drawing of him looking nuts isn't out of the ordinary. But the image there shows him smiling on one side, sinister looking on the other. We don't see the character with an expression like that, it's not normal. Alone it would be weird, but nothing. But there are other inconsistencies like his frequent disappearances during fights due to being an idiot, his lack of a background and you can call it a stretch but details like him wearing a black shirt when everyone else in the group wears a white one, and his bizarrely generic room among the group of really personalized ones tend to stand out.

HenryEx posted:Is, not was. That was like 10 years ago, and even if he was already working with AFO... so what? It's a benign diagnosis for a completely random run-of-the-mill kid?? If he'd use his doctor's degree to routinely bullshit to spite little kids for no reason at all, he'd probably struggle to keep a sustainable income / any patients. Well for one thing if Allmight would only pass his quirk on to someone else without a quirk, they'd probably want to keep an eye out for kids without quirks. He was also probably looking for kids with interesting powers for AFO and nomu potential. What with the nomus that attacked, I think it was when Stain was attacking?, being similar to the kids Bakugou used to hang around with. It seems like it'd be a good way to get fodder without being suspicious.

Maybe the entire reason he helps All for One is because he's a doctor and if he didn't keep him alive, no one else would and it's kind of lovely to just let a dude die without a trial or something. Probably not, but whatever.

Darth Walrus posted:C'mon, now, Steel Ball Run was great. I think Jojolion won't be bad when it's done and you can read it in one go. But having to read it in slow releases makes it really hard to follow because every time a new chapter comes out, all the interest in what just happened is gone and it's a struggle to remember what went on. The core mystery of it is pretty cool I think. Darth Walrus posted:I feel that Bakugou's headed for a big turning point, though, where he's forced to confront the mismatch between who he is and who he wants to be. Flunking his provisional hero license due to causing massive collateral damage seems like a pretty good place to put that step in his arc. My dumb thought is that he might actually go to far in what is supposed to be a training thing like the entrance exam and unintentionally hurt someone or pose a threat to civilians. Dude gets fired up enough over his own classmates being equal to him, he might lose his poo poo a bit if it's some strangers from another school.

Ytlaya posted:The common cop-out in this sort of situation is for him to realize the error of his ways and sacrifice himself for the greater good in some situation. This allows the character to be "redeemed" without needing to tackle the hairy questions of "but he's committed a bunch of terrible crimes and still needs to be punished." That seems too generic. I think it's more likely he's going to get swallowed up by something bigger than he is. As the plague doctor guy, and people in this topic, pointed out. His society isn't poo poo, they've gotten their reputation because of stain and all for one and it's calling down not just the big heroes but other villains now. It's going to bite him in the rear end.

Blockhouse posted:how do you beat nighteye's quirk? I don't think he sees everything. Just literally what the person will be doing. He saw Deku on the ground "cowering" but didn't have any context for it. When the time came, he laughed because he had no idea that he would be faced with the situation he had been placed in. So someone who effects the environment would probably have an easier time dealing with him than someone like Deku. Also I think that's why he cares so much about humor. He likes the unpredictable nature of it, when you can see all the punchlines coming the ones that catch you off guard are great.

Fights in HxH are great because there's a sort of mechanical style to how powers work and it doesn't usually do the typical thing of a guy pulling a brand new super power out to win the fight at the last minute. That fight just has one guy pull out new power after new power and throw an endless number of explosive bodies at his opponent until he wins.
