Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Apparently the translation is a little off regarding Tsuyu's more extraneous powers--her poison is a mild paralytic, not acidic, and her other trick is that she can spit up her stomach so she can clean it. I sure didn't know that that was how a frog do, but the more you know.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Frogs apparently spit up their stomach when they vomit.

Why was Grapeboy so fascinated by the thought of Tsuyu secreting her poison? There's nothing remotely sexy about that.

Well that certainly makes "but that probably won't be very useful" make a lot more sense.

The guy's fascinated by round things and sticky things. After the reveal of his powerset this chapter, I'm not 100% sure we can call it plain ol' perversion. :v:

Even though he's been set up as "the pervert" character, I didn't read his fascination as perversion. I read it as awe and disgust, like a girl secreting poison was a massive turn off.

Which is fine, because that would mean more Frog Girl for the rest of us.

I'm wondering if Grapeboy can turn off his Quirk at will once the balls are detached. He's already mentioned the longest they can last is a day if he is as healthy as he can be, but I'm curious if he's got to be smarter where he places those things if he can't turn them off.

I'd assume that what actually happens when he touches them isn't that they simply don't stick but rather that they get nullified.

It's not perfectly clear to me what Portalman (who is totally voiced by Stephen Blum in my mind) did to Spaceman #13 there. Did #13 create a black hole at him, and then Portalguy warped the black hole behind him?

Poor Gravity Girl, though, she's watching her idol get warped into oblivion before her eyes! :(

Also, I'm a little sad that Earjacks didn't turn out to have some kind of hacking/technomancy perception kind of power, if only to have some less-flashy powers around.

That seems to be the case, yeah.

Everyone's all about Tsuyu or whatever but I'm gonna go underground and claim Jirou as best secondary character.

I think so. #13 isn't really a fighter, so he fell for the oldest portal trick in the book.

#13 attacked Shadow Dude, but Shadow Dude just redirected the attack.

On a side note, what is #13? Does he even have a physical body anymore?

Also, Hand Guy shattering Eraserhead's elbow is loving brutal.

Monster dude wringing his arm out like a rag is pretty brutal too.

Just FYI the artist isn't afraid of killing people; Barrage was the same kind of weird light-hearted poo poo and people get brutally murdered in that. Oumagadoki Doubutsuen didn't have really any death/ultra-violence in it, but it had wacky super-powered animals and owns if you haven't read it.

God doesn't help little frogs.

He helps people like me.
Kyouka's power is that her bassline is her baseline, Denki's is static power that turns him into the Fonz when he overloads, and Yaoyorozu's power is a straight-up lesser Gold Experience. :allears:

Also I was waiting to see when someone got hoisted by their own quirk-pitard, :rip: #13.

Okay, yeah, that's a pretty good sign that Hands was the one who wrecked the gate. That was brutal. Also no, Aizawa, you're awesome. Don't die, please.

So, that's two villain names we've got now between these last two chapters, "Mr. Shigaraki" and "Noumu", the latter of whom is an "artificial human".


Also, Todoroki's line is pretty good. "But since I'm aiming to become a hero, I want to avoid doing horrifying poo poo like that as much as I can."

Yeah, it is only a sign of affection. But it is also one of the rudest things you can do in Japan so it implies a really close relationship.

Man, brain thing (is it Noumu or is that Hands, it's a bit unclear) got a pretty strong "debut"; while it's been doing next to nothing previously, as I've commented on, his first major action being wrecking Aizawa like that... Wow. Also, ouch. That looks horrible. Things escalated really, really quickly.

Hm, probably the big muscle thing then, since, despite its massive exposed brain, it doesn't come across as particularly sharp, and it'd be kind of funny for the thing with the visible brain to be named "Brainless". Now we just need to know is Mr. Shigaraki is the hand person or the shadowy dude, and what the name of the other one is.

If your brain is exposed all the time I would imagine you would have constant trauma. His superpower is that all his muscles (including brain) are so resistant to damage that he survives anyway.
