After going 0/4 on satisfying manga endings (Naruto, Bleach, Shokugeki No Soma, and Attack on Titan) I'm hoping MHA will break my streak.

It's great that in the MHA universe you can be born with a washing machine for a head and everyone's like totally cool with it

I've gotten halfway through Vigilantes and it is awesome. Koichi has that Peter Parker everyman vibe, and watching him develop new applications for his quirk is neat. Supporting cast is good too.

Given how both their bodies are handling the quirks separately, and that OFA gets stronger when its passed on, I legit expect a fairly possible endgame for an unredeemable Shigaraki scenario is Deku giving up his quirk willingly and then Shigaraki just loving exploding when he tries to do something.

I feel like there have to be a reasonable number of heroes who are basically just Batman but in certain situations they can turn cats into dogs or something.

One of the cast of Vigilantes is quirkless but still swings around on a grappling hook and punches dudes to get a good look at their tongue

I usually hate stories where a character's power is 'i have all the powers' or (i steal powers) (*ahem* Heroes) but I've enjoyed the trope in MHA. Go figure.

Kouichi is such a good boy.

Calling the shot. Koichi saw Two O'Clock outside, and abandoned the plan to come down to try to talk him down peacefully. That's going to fail, because the dude is loving nuts, and it's going to look like Koichi hosed everything up... except he thirty-five minutes ago'd it, and he already found a clever way to get the word out to All Might.

why would Deku fight Bakugo here? he may be frustrated they came when he wants to work alone for their safety, but I don't know why they'd come to blows

1-A probably have made the decision to make Deku sit his rear end down for his own good.

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.

On a more meta level, that undermines all the other characters for future use. If a half dead Deku can kick everyone else's rear end, then how are we supposed to buy them contributing against the villains that give Deku trouble?

Final trailer for the new movie. I know people are kind of upset at the movie because they seemingly rearranged the order of the anime in order to better tie into it, but I think the movie itself looks like it'll be dumb fun.

Is MHA popular enough to get an American release like Mugen Train did?

I'm intensely curious but I don't wanna derail the thread, but I'm intensely curious, because I've heard "Author was right leaning Japanese Nationalist", to "No that was overblown and the narrative was much more nuanced than that and actually a critique on such points of view" and now also the ending was bad?

:hai:

The ending is really bad and no one learns anything but "making war with Titans is bad, use conventional weapons instead" also, wtf Armin and Mikasa
