"Bomb-Bad-Evil" is what I got out of that. Perhaps accurate but not a good hero name.

I wonder how Mina's abilities would be useful in the hero-ing business. Directly acid-ing people would just maim them. I guess you could limit their mobility by surrounding them with it or something? Still seems a little too potentially violent; either they're getting touched by her acid and being maimed or nothing at all.

In comparison, Mineta's grape ability could actually be extremely useful; being able to stick people in place (or even just throw the balls onto them and hope they brush up against a wall or something) would be super useful.

Mina's abilities do seem like the kind that would need to be used indirectly, but they're still workable (if with some regular property damage). By which I mean, she could probably use her abilities in an environmental way, breaking down the foundation of something so it falls on or in the way of a villain. At the very least, she can break down the weapon of anyone against her if she gets in close enough, meaning she can disarm people whilst also demonstrating what can happen to them if they insist on trouble.

If heroes like Allmight are allowed to punch the everloving poo poo out of vilains. I don't think spraying acid on them is that big of a deal either. Especially since super healing is a thing that exists in this universe.

She seems to have a great control of her acid or she would not send it out like she does. We don't know much about her Quick other then it supposedly would have been able to eat through Todoroki's Ice.



She can produce it from anywhere on her body it appears.



And it appears she can use it to boost her speed or slide around.

Living the Dream
Spoilers are out.

The usual, people who get mad at intentionally mousing over things want to avoid those bars.

Non-Spoiler Note: This chapter owns IMO.

Basically it's non-descript discussion between the kids and teachers about picking who they work for. Uraraka is the only person who really announces what she's doing; she's going to work for a combat-oriented hero named "Muzzle Head" or "Gun Head" depending on translation. She says after her fight with Bakugou she realizes she needs to get tougher, and that'll help her even if she wants to be a rescue/disaster-relief type hero.

All-Might shows up and snags Midoriya to let him know that his nomination is NOT Endeavor like a lot of people thought...

...it's a really old hero named "Gran Torino". No, seriously.

All Might is visibly shaken, and shivers in seeming terror the whole time. He apparently was All Might's homeroom teacher back in his day at Yuuei, and he had forgotten that he was another person who knows about the true nature of One for All. Midoriya is obviously nervous as hell.

On the way to leave for their first day, Midoriya and Uraraka talk about how they found out the guy who crippled Iida's brother is the "Hero Killer" named Stain, who has apparently killed a couple dozen heroes and crippled as many. They try to talk to Iida and let him know that he can lean on them; he gives a fake-smile and a "Yes" and turns away into the deathflaggy/injuryflaggy as gently caress DARK ANGRY GRIM SCOWL face. So yeah, he's going to go after Stain probably.

Deku's Monologue after that page:
At that moment...I should've pried further.
Very soon...I would come to regret that I didn't.

There's a bit where the teachers discuss a bit about the students, I think Eraserhead notices where Midoriya's endorsement is and is kinda concerned.

Midoriya shows up to a dilapidated building, enters, and finds a midget old guy splayed face down on the floor presumably in blood...but no it isn't, Gran Torino hops up and reveals he accidentally just fell on his dinner. A typical "Senile old person" gag goes on for a bit where he can't hear Midoriya's name right, etc etc. He asks Midoriya to throw on his costume (which he has gotten back finally) and show him how well can punch with One for All. Midoriya, burnt out says All Might doesn't have a lot of time left and he can't play games so he's leaving.

The old man ricochets around the room at super-high speed, destroying stuff, and pops right into Midoriya's path. He tells him to show him what he's got. ~fin~

Iida's "I'm going to go and do something stupid and get hosed up" page. Really cool expressions here.

Called it - All Might's reaction was way too goofy to be setting up an Endeavour apprenticeship. That's not how you start a heavy arc about marital rape and parental abuse.
