"We don't have a healer in our party!" Oh Shigaraki, you freak. Also, wow, Iida, you figured out where the hero-killer is going to be, so you... Go off alone, not informing anyone of what you know or what you're doing, to face the guy who has been taking out multiple heroes on his own. Wow. You're supposed to be smart, Iida. This is a terrible idea.

Seems like there might be done parallels between Shiragaki and All Might, and Bakugou and Deku. I wonder if Shiragaki knows that All Might was born with a quirk? Cause if it's just about heroes sometimes being jerks then Endeavour would make a better target.

All Might is the "Symbol of Peace", he's symbolic of everything about the age of heroes, and is a nigh-unstoppable force crushing anything that opposes him. The specifics of his history or even what he himself is actually like don't matter, it's what he represents that fills Shigaraki (and also Stain) with loathing.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:Yeah, but with the author's type of pacing it definitely is dragging on a bit. We've had basically 3 chapters devoted to Midoriya marginally getting slightly better at his powers and a little background stuff with the villains. Obviously he's trying to build it up a bit but if there's another chapter or two like this before the next big event starts playing out it's gonna have some serious pacing issues. I think at this point Midoriya's training regime has been pretty well established and hope we don't need to actually see any more of it. I'm hoping the next few chapters focus on Iida and his foolhardy vigilante shenanigans and when it comes back to Midoriya he's got what he needs from Gran Torino and we can move on.

I wonder how much Stain would mess up IIda. This chapter made me think that Stain, just like in this chapter, will see in Iida a potential to be someone who goes against society's norm and rules. So he will spare and spur Iida on giving even more fuel for more twisted sense of vengeance.

Stain apparently kills/injures four heroes before moving on. So I guess that's some death symbolism there.

I'm really curious about how Iida is going to get out of his coming confrontation with Stain without some sort of terrible injuries. No one else should know what he's doing, so I doubt he'll receive any help (and there's no way he'll actually win). The only thing I can think of is what other posters have said about Stain sparing Iida for some reason.

Do we know how far away Deku and Gran Torino are from where Iida is? I could see Iida getting beat up badly but not permanently before Deku shows off his new skills to save him.

Iida is still in Tokyo and Gran Torino's house is 45 minutes away by bullet train, so like on the other side of the country. I doubt they'll come to his rescue.

So I think Gran Torino may actually have some kind of boost (rocket, air pressure, hard to say) that he can unleash from his feet - and focused by his boots, since the series makes a point on integrating the mechanics of quirks into suit functionality. Notice the dots on the bottom of his boots - look like some kind of vent to me.

NecroMonster posted:stain looks 90s image comics anti-hero as loving hell He just has convictions outside of being an rear end in a top hat for the sake of it or being a petty thief. I could imagine him sparing Iida if he felt Iida had a strong conviction outside the norms of society- even if it was to kill him. Stain probably would dig vigilantes since they have nothing to gain from it in this world.

Seems like Stain just wants people to mean whatever it is they do, hero or villain. He doesn't seem like he'd have an issue with heroes who actually just want to protect people, but heroes who do it just for a career piss him off. The question is, where Saitama's "it's a hobby" stance fits in his worldview?

Stain would absolutely try to kill Saitama over such a half-assed attitude. It wouldn't work, mind, but he'd try. But that's a different series with a very different tone to its writing.

What do you think his quirk is? I'm thinking it's not general power nullification since he let his knife get disintegrated (and the author seems to be avoiding duplicating powers too much). So maybe something more specific that happens to prevent portals from being opened near him.

Yasser Arafatwa posted:really dig all the characters diverse motivations in this series The main cast kinda emphasizes many different views/motivations towards heroism, with Midoriya's basically being the purest (heroism is what you do and not who you are, utter selflessness borne from deep empathy, a pure instinct to do what's right, etc). What's cool is that Horikoshi doesn't really portray any of these are being perfect; All Might and Midoriya's heroism is pure as it gets but it's a single-minded march to an early and tragic death. Midoriya realized he needs to stop wastefully shortening his lifespan with how he uses his power, but I think it'll become clear that the price of his and All Might's brand of heroism is personal pain, suffering, and death for the sake of others. Iida's loyalty to his family was his strength, but it has brought him to where he is now. God only knows what'll happen to Uraraka because if she wasn't the female lead her motivation is deathflaggy as gently caress and I'd call her for the first casualty in the class.

It would take an insane level of balls to kill off the leading lady in a shonen manga. That would absolutely never ever happen.

That whole cliche with her being the kid who wants to do whatever it takes to make her parents happy, not understanding that her personal happiness and success is what her parents REALLY want is tantamount to putting a loaded gun in your mouth in fiction. That character usually loving dies because it's absolutely the most tragic thing that can happen. It has basically happened to Iida; his brother was his idol and his goal and whack; crippled by a badguy. Now Iida is on the way to destroying everything he has built up, in a way that his brother probably wouldn't approve...and likely for nothing in the end. Midoriya is GOING to have to watch All Might die because of the end results of his perfectly altruistic heroism- there's no one who reads this thing who thinks for a second All Might won't die; we're just haggling over when. The entire main cast is likely going to get a turn in the barrel; it's just a matter if Horikoshi has the balls to kill any of them.

This chapter wasn't exactly bad, but it was really boring; I don't think anything new happened. I want to watch Midoriya do a real fight with his new-found abilities. It was also kind of hard to get a feel for how fast/strong 5% of One for All is making him in this chapter. Since he grazed Gran Torino I'm guessing that he was actually moving a lot faster than it looked like he was moving.

Mr. Fowl posted:It's really interesting how One for All reflects the theme of altruistic heroism, given how it seems to kill the host once the torch is passed. Or, more likely, its absence kills them. I think it's probably because the quirk itself will end up being the life/energy of the past users. There's a serious problem if there's only been 6 generations or so of people with quirks yet this thing has passed something like 8 people. If it wasn't there since the very first glowing baby that means it's probably only had 4-5 generations to get to this point. That would mean the people who previously had it had their lives cut short by up to as much as 50%; All Might looks like he might be middle or late 40's at this point since he went to school with Endeavor, and that guy has a 24 year old daughter. He's only had this quirk since he was in his teens, so 20-30 years or so of having it and he's already dying from it. I don't think it's so much altruistic heroism, but something that stacks the quirks and energy/life of the last users to pass on to the next before the user burns out hardcore and dies from over exertion (like Nomu going braindead from being loaded up on too many quirks).

20-30 years and some really horrific injuries. I feel like the really horrific injuries part is what's cutting All Might so short, and would go so far as to say that it's more likely than not also what got rid of most of his predecessors.

Shieldhill posted:Volume 4's design omake was just released. I know this has been commented on before, but I feel like this particular design omake cements the point: Horikoshi is actually really good with people's proportions, especially female characters (compared to most of the industry anyway). Its weird and subtle, but I think a key difference is that he seems to approach upper body structure kind of like a trapezoid - ie, if they narrow anywhere, its just under the upper torso, and the body only ever gets wider from there.
