It's not like Deku won't end up like a zillion times more powerful than him anyway being the main character and All Might #2.

This is awesome, does anybody know who's translating these? If found the source, but it's all in Japanese and I really, really want to know what pages like this one and this one are saying.
I translated the first one. It helps to know that the artist likes pairing Kacchan and Todoroki with Deku, with a little Ochako on the side. I love it.

O: Recently, I've found myself lacking in "Deku".

O: So gimme a picture of Deku-kun when he was a cute little kid.
K: The hell would I do something like that, dumbass?
K: I don't have even enough for myself, gently caress off.

O: You cold brute... A person comes to you with a problem and you respond like that, yet you call yourself a hero?
K: The real problem here is your desires.
K: If that's the case, then give me your entire Deku collection. It's a fair trade.

O: What on earth are you planning to do with my Deku collection?
O: Ya goddamn freak pervert!
K: Aah, geez you're freaking annoying! More importantly, where'd you learn such language!
(It's a collaborative Deku compilation effort)


Regarding the latest chapter: Iida's such a fabulous dork with his weird-rear end gesticulations. :3:

I'm happy with the way things went. This was probably one of the most believable possible results, just given all the information we know and the series' own internal rules. Like I said before, I couldn't really think of a way to Deku to win that wouldn't feel contrived, and I also feel like this fits the narrative better; it would have been awkward for Todoroki to have this big breakthrough and then just lose immediately afterwards regardless.

The only thing I was a little disappointed about is that I wanted to see more of Bakugou's reaction to the whole fight. Isn't this the first time he's really seen Deku go crazy with his power? Up until now he's only seen Deku use his ability in single isolated incidents and I don't think he's ever seen him use it without injuring himself (like he did when punching Todoroki in the stomach). He's gotta be thinking "holy poo poo, I don't know if I could even deal with that."


It sucks that there won't be anymore for a couple weeks now. :(

As a side note, the author is really good at drawing people that are suffering. Deku genuinely looks like he is in a world of pain, rather than the lame gritting teeth thing that you usually see in shounen manga.

Quick translation of recovery girl letting All Might have it over this fight includes the phrase, "This isn't going to heal back into a normal hand."

Like another poster mentioned, I'm 99% sure they just meant "if I use my healing powers on it it won't heal back properly, so it's necessary that we do surgery first."

Yeah I think The way her Recovery Quirk works is it just enhances the targets innate healing ability, I think she mentioned that when being introduced hence the weakness after being healed, and with how Deku wreaked his hand trying to have ti healed naturally would just not work right. Broken Bones do not tend to Heal naturally back to working order, it is why we Invented Casts and poo poo

Yeah, it doesn't really matter if Deku did or didn't win this fight, because he likely saved a person who needed saving through his actions.

"In that moment, I just forgot about you" :iceburn: (strangely appropriate). It'll be fun to watch Todoroki treat his father like he's just utterly irrelevant as he becomes famous and makes him obsolete, and then makes friends with the new (and old?) All-Might anyway just to rub it in.

Haha, I saw this on pixiv! I like that Shinzou didn't take advantage of Deku after he answered him; that was a nice touch by the artist. Seriously, where are you getting these translated? Reading it in Japanese always takes a minute and then some because it's all so disjointed and stilted in my head before I parse it into English.

Y'know, shonen is all well and good, but the fan comics have convinced me the series needs to be retooled into a slice-of-life series about Deku's friends passive-aggressively out doing one another.

Pixiv artist, Silver, is a national treasure and I know some of her stuff is from twitter requests. That said, I think the more ridiculous stuff is all her.



Unless someone on twitter requested Deku and Shinzou re-enacting Michelangelo's Pieta.

Basically, the My Hero Academia anime has some amazing potential for filler arcs and I hope whoever the series director is realizes that potential.
