Oh man, I just checked this thread for the first time. What a great manga! Late but, thanks for that opening post. Good way to waste my Saturday.

The whole shipping of underaged characters thing is never not creepy but at least with MHA it's done with some humorous intent.

I don't see how it's any creepier than teenagers dating, which is to say not at all, at least on a fundamental level. Many people make it creepy, but there's nothing actually inherently so about thinking two characters would make a cute couple.

It was awfully nice of Midoriya to give the bear it's fangs back though.  Oh hey, Iida (or Shiozaki), I gave Todoroki a reason to not hold back anymore! Good luck on not dying in the next round, I guess! Fabricated posted:The whole shipping of underaged characters thing is never not creepy but at least with MHA it's done with some humorous intent.

The best part of the chapter was the awkward silence after Fire Dad's public outburst about his son.

I've been really surprised at how much I enjoy reading this manga. Picked it up the other day and caught up just in time to wait a week on the newest chapter. Titles that include tournament arcs are usually not something that I read but every chapter of this has been fun and engaging.

Twiddy posted:Creepy things ARE creepy, no one can deny that tautology. But in order for a tautology to be applicable the concept and definition itself has to be valid. What's creepy here? Isn't the discussion of what is or is not creepy inherently creepy in itself? Man, we're getting pretty philosophical here!!

Does the inherent existence of super powers precipitate a population of heroes and villains, or does it only exacerbate existing conditions? Is it necessary to base an entire industry around superpowered displays? Why does All Might believe it absolutely imperative that there should be a Symbol of Peace? I expect none of these questions to be answered in the manga.

Is it necessary to base an entire industry around superpowered displays? Why does All Might believe it absolutely imperative that there should be a Symbol of Peace? Well, I happened to reread the first chapter just now, and it mentions there being a rise in dangerous crime after quirks started appearing. Meanwhile, All Might already elaborated on how his heroics and the sheer impact his powers have had have lowered crime immensely, and that he, at least, believes that his death would likewise result in a return to the old, dangerous levels of superpowered crime. So that's two of your three questions answered already. As for the other one, no, it's not necessary, but it's a pretty great idea if you want to make money in a world like this. Capitalism and all.

It's still a mystery whether the One for All vessel train started with or before the advent of quirks, but it still looked like All Might was the first after about seven other vessels to use One for All for heroism. Or maybe the other vessels did use OfA for heroism, just not to the grand extent that AM has. I almost want to tweet Horikoshi, asking how much time spanned between the rise of quirk-induced crime and All Might's debut.

I almost want to tweet Horikoshi, asking how much time spanned between the rise of quirk-induced crime and All Might's debut. Whoops, misread your post somewhat. I'll take a look again, but I don't think that's specified exactly. Edit: The most I've found so far is that crime rose with quirks, without any specific statements beyond that. It seems it was rather high, though, hence the need for a vigilante response. And, judging by how big All Might's impact was, even with heroes fighting it was pretty bad before he showed up. Given that he's the eighth vessel apparently, and presumably fourth-generation (being an adult now), I'd say a lot of time, myself.

Twiddy posted:Heroes and villains exist in the everyday world, super powers merely allows them to take a certain form. As for that, I think I agree with All Might that there should be a symbol of peace. The same way certain images are reused to evoke an imagery or message, peace should have its own icon. In a world with super powers, it seems fitting that in this case the symbol should be a superhero. I liked one commentary made about Superman, in universe, prior the New 52 reboot. Obviously it was a minor retcon, the kind that gets made all the time, but I think it was... by Batman or someone (possibly from their crossover series) about how the reason so many DCU superheroes were idealistic and/or had an aversion to killing was because Supes had set a gold standard to look up to. All Might pretty much fits the same purpose here. He helps to show people what they can do with their powers to a good end, but also helps to assuage fears that people may have had during the transition of Quirks becoming the norm, by showing that having quirks did not make one a monster. This particularly seems the case with the explanation behind why he goes 'Because I'm here!", marking his identity by his altruism, not because someone said 'oh god he's too strong, he'll destroy everything!' or whatever else someone might get lobbied at them because of their particular quirk.

Individual pledges to support the group and the group and the group will do the same for the individual. Although I wonder if All Might or a previous vessel was thinking of Or it might just be English for the sake of English.

Superman and All Might are both basically idealized father figures. Strong, courageous protectors, always there for you. In your mind's eye there's nothing they can't handle. You feel safe with them around. The world is fully capable of going on without them of course should they die or disappear or make a mistake, but that sense of security would be lost. All Might is in effect the world's strongest man, and wants everybody weaker than him - physically, emotionally, spiritually - to feel safe and secure under his watch. Even if most people don't deal with him directly, it's like that little reminder in the back of your head that good will always triumph over evil. Kill him off and the public loses something they can believe in. "The strongest of us all...and he wasn't strong enough."

Reminder that Deku's dad has only been mentioned like once by Deku's mom and hasn't physically shown up yet. Presumably he hasn't personally seen Deku for years at a time.

That's pretty much par for the course in a lot of Japanese fiction. Dad slaves away providing for the family, but isn't necessarily that intimately involved with the kids. Probably related with Japanese work culture.

Dedicate an entire chapter to papa Deku's monotonous and grinding work life. End it on Mr. Deku stopping off at a bar after work and ordering a drink, which Black Mist obliges. I would be very amused if Black Mist runs a legit bar in between villainous assassinations and father Midoriya is one of his regulars.

There was a fan theory that thankfully seems to have been put to bed by Todoroki's flashback that Midoriya is one of Endeavor's "failed creations".

It was also mentioned that he can breathe fire, if I'm remembering correctly. Wonder what he does for a living. I hope it's something completely mundane. Deku's dad I mean.
