I appreciate the extra chapter where they explain she's wearing a skin tight outfit and isn't just driving all the hormonal teenagers insane by walking around a high school topless without anyone saying something.

Hmm, I don't remember reading this in an extra chapter, although it might've been a line someone tossed aside in the middle of one of the chapters. It's still funny how the author clearly seems to love drawing her, though, hah! I wonder if they've explained Midnight's power yet? We've seen her ripping part of her costume off and emitting some kind of gas, so I guess it's the ability to emit knockout gas from her skin?

This is the page where Midnight comments on her costume, but I can't remember where they directly mention her knockout gas powers. I think it's just something that you intuit from the tournament.

She knocked out Bakugou with some kind of gas right before he was about to moidle Todoroki after the final round in the tournament.

I think that it probably depends on how actually sealed and/or protected the outfit is. It could be a very armored or reinforced suit that's not sealed and so worthless against what we've seen of Midnight's quirk, or jut normally sealed and thus pretty proof against it while being kinda a wash as far as protection for the size goes.

I think he just wears the suit because his power is dangerous at close range. Everyone has been on the level of a weird human thus far, rather than something on the level of, say, Rockslide.

I wonder how this society with like 90%+ of everyone being mutants handles people with passively dangerous powers. Like, someone who emits ionizing radiation unwillingly or something. The government pay for a suit and living arrangements then? It seems like the government makes a ridiculous amount of effort in general to accommodate everyone; Horikoshi even made a term "inclusive design" for it. That's why the school has rooms with high ceilings and huge doors.

Well, like you say, when it's 90%+ of people, presumably with a decent portion of those being weird even in the sense of having an extra limb or so let alone more out there stuff, the sheer pressure of that much variety sort of forces accommodation. Quirks also make it easier to actually implement these changes. Hell, look at how big a deal wheelchair accessibility, for example, is in real life.

Yea, it's probably a lot easier to make changes to a building to accommodate new students or workers when you can just call up a guy like Cementoss and have him reshape the building itself like playdough in a few hours instead of hiring an entire team to come in and do it slowly over days or weeks.

I think this is due to older generations having a lower percentage of kids with quirks, though. I think Deku's generation is like ~99% or something, judging from the fact that he seems to be literally the only kid in his entire school with no quirk and his parents were confused about him not having a quirk.

Yeah, pretty much this. Every generation after the Glowing Baby has had more and more quirked up kids. What's keeping the percentage of the entire population relatively low is the older people without Quirks that are still around. The lower the age bracket you look at, the higher concentration of Quirks you find. The overall percentage of people with Quirks probably goes up every 5 years.

Spoilers: -Turns out Noumu wasn't like a clone or grown in a test tube, but rather was a human who was experimented on. He has the DNA of at least 4 other individuals in him, which is why he had so many powerful quirks. It rendered him basically retarded however. The catch is that just transplanting tissue or blood or normal cloning doesn't actually transfer quirks properly due to some sort of genetic incompatibility- so the theory of the police is that someone has a quirk to transfer other quirks. So yeah, All For One? -Stain apparently is not interested in working with Shigaraki. He reveals that he's watching all of the students, particularly Midoriya. -Torino kicks the crap out of Midoriya, and lectures him that his eagerness to try and master One For All has made him lose sight of how to actually grow with it and use it his own way. Midoriya realizes this and starts...jotting down notes excitedly about how he's going to learn to use his power. -Torino seems reasonably impressed with Midoriya after this, and he mentions All Might's true name.

I find it more interesting that Stain has no interesting in working with someone who's just killing for it's own sake, and more than anything that there's someone trying to guide Shigaraki's growth in the same way All Might and now Torino (among others) are guiding Dekus. Also, Deku's new costume is nice, but seems a little generic. I want to see what he looks like with the mask and face plate up with it though. The fact the face plate reminds me of Nuomo's huge teeth is a little odd too.

I have a strong feeling that this organization of bad guys is going to be portrayed in a sympathetic light, at least to some extent. It's pretty clear that they're not just evil for the sake of being evil (at least at the upper rungs) and that they have some ideological problem with heroes. Maybe it will turn out that the world of My Hero Academia treats criminals horribly and that the heroes, by extremely efficiently catching said criminals, are helping to enforce an unjust system (and that, as a result, their violence isn't really any more justified than that of criminals). (I doubt this will actually end up being the case, but it would be interesting if it did.)

Perhaps I'm just dense but I'm not really sure what Deku's epiphany was. Are they saying he needs to use it more passively then something he has to activate?

Caidin posted:Perhaps I'm just dense but I'm not really sure what Deku's epiphany was. Are they saying he needs to use it more passively then something he has to activate? Deku is thinking of All for One as a special move, like a kamehameha or something, a special finishing technique. But a Quirk is part of your body and who you are, he should be incorporating it into everything he does, all the time. Like going Super Saiyan.

I really like that Deku doesn't get all bent out of shape about being told he's doing it wrong and immediately starts analyzing himself just like he does everyone else. Also love that it all only took a chapter to happen, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he puts it into action.

Okay yeah that makes sense, thank you. that's a fairly logical issue for someone whose only actually had a quirk for a few months.

It's pretty clear that they're not just evil for the sake of being evil (at least at the upper rungs) and that they have some ideological problem with heroes. It was mentioned earlier in the series that villains are starting to feel the overwhelming pressure of such a large amount of heroes. Even in chapter one a single size-changer got taken down by no less than 2-3 heroes. This villain organization could be trying to even the playing field by creating the same organizational structure that the heroes are acting under. I've seen it before in fiction where the bad guys treat their group as some sort of immune response to the "problem" of too many good guys running around.

Yeah even in Chapter 1 you literally had a dozen Heroes showing up to stop a single villain, even when they couldn't do anything there was still a line of them standing around prepared to do whatever. Heroes are so plentiful some sort of response creating a Villain's League seems like a totally plausible direction.

That reminds of the Secret Society of Super Villains from the Justice League Cartoon. Gorilla Grodd founded it and it was set up like a Super Villain union. Ensuring that villains would always have backup if super heroes showed up. The cost was membership fees and a cut of any takes they made.

It makes sense and is generally a pretty good way to insert some sort of ambiguity into the situation without making it some kind of super dark 'Villains only exist because Heroes exist!', because not everyone really likes that sort of grit all the time.
