Alternatively "ENGAGING KILL MODE". I know I'd do something like that for my not-so-autonomous super weapons.

If comics have taught me anything, it's that poking a superbeing's exposed brain is a good way to get your fingers melted or lasered off.

So going off this chapter it seems like stain is able to paralyze someone after he has ingested their blood. Iida doesn't lose his movement until after Stain licks his blade and if memory serves, stain paralyzing Hand-man and shadow-bartender happens off screen.

His saliva is paralytic is more likely.

Oh yeah, one thing I thought was a great touch was that Stain actually USED the spikes on his boots to kick/impale Iida's arm. They aren't just silly decoration. Also fuckin' OW.

I hope we find out what the chains used to lace up his boots are gonna be used for then. What a hilarious 90's design decision that was.

While Iida probably won't die, I actually wonder whether or not this is the end of his career in heroics. Although healing quirks exist, there seems to be a damage ceiling and/or time frame past which they lose effectiveness, so Idia could conceivably be out a working arm. Alternatively, he could get expelled for vigilantism.

Getting a sword through the arm isn't nearly as bad as shattering all your bones/muscles like Midoriya has done (multiple times). I also doubt that the author will kill off one of the core characters so early. Stain will probably either run off after fighting Midoriya or another hero will show up to help beat him/chase him off (even though it would be cool if Midoriya beat him, I don't see that happening). This chapter was okay, though the way Stain beat Iida was a little confusing. I think he just jumped up and kicked his arm and stomped his head all in one motion before landing and stabbing him with the sword, but the first frame after he jumps seems to show up him in a more "horizontal" position with his head already behind Iida's body where it would be very awkward to then kick him like he does.

He doesn't quite stomp, more rides iida down to the ground so basically. KICK, Foot onto head to put the weight right so iida goes down, stab, insult, lick and activate quirk, more insults, prepare to finish, PUNCHED IN THE FACE

This is all speculation, of course. I don't think we'll get any definitive, concrete answers for this sort of thing for the time being since it allows the author to play or revoke the healing card as they wish to instill tension. Which is fine. At the end of the day, the answer is probably "Iida's an important cast member and we're not even 100 chapters into things, he'll be fine," but I'd like to say it's a strength of Kohei's writing that even so I'm worried over the outcome. Reminds me of some of the stuff Xibanya posts in the DBZ thread.

I don't think it would make much sense for Iida to be out of the hero game permanently; after what Stain said about prioritizing saving the other guy before acting on his own selfish desires for revenge, I think it's being set up for Iida to reflect on that and find resolve in it. He totally failed at being a hero on pretty much all counts, and he needs some time to think about that and take it to heart. Even though it's coming from the guy he hates more than anything, I think it'll end up making him a better hero for it and I kinda see that as Stain's purpose here (maybe not intentionally for his character but as a plot device). I think Iida being pretty messed up temporarily is likely and would also give Deku something to regret per the foreshadowing from a few chapters ago. edit: I'm never sure at what point things should be spoilered or not regarding new chapters, feels weird to have so many posts blacked out but I'm following the crowd here I guess.

Kohei doesn't kill good guys a lot if his previous works are any indication. Barrage was the most grim thing I've seen from him (and it wasn't too terribly dark) and most of the deaths were off screen or simply spoken about. As far as I remember no one died in zoo. Bnha ironically is the most graphic work I've seen from him and the nastiest stuff has been Midoria's mangled hands.

Oh oh oh Stain's quirk is definitely licking/consuming someones blood to paralyze them. And of course his quirk was "too villainous" so he wasn't really allowed to become a "Hero" through the proper, sanctioned, channels.

NecroMonster posted:Oh oh oh Stain's quirk is definitely licking/consuming someones blood to paralyze them. The question then is how he managed to paralyze Black Mist like he did the previous chapter; given what we know of Black Mist and the apparent situation there, that theory really doesn't seem to fit the fight in the villain bar. Though it definitely does seem like exactly what's happened in this chapter. Strange.

Black mist had a cut on his shoulder/arm. We just weren't shown the actual "licking" at that point.

NecroMonster posted:Black mist had a cut on his shoulder/arm. We just weren't shown the actual "licking" at that point. Huh, so he did; I didn't notice that before. I just remembered him leaning on the counter and took it as him being paralyzed in the middle of that bartender routine of his. Good catch; I should have gone back and looked personally rather than just going off what I remembered. Edit: Looking back at that chapter, Stain expresses the same curiosity/fear of what Shigaraki may eventually become that the Yueii chairman and All Might did. There's a lot of people seeing potential in him. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Jul 16, 2015 |

Deku said on this page that "I should have tried harder to get through to him then. It was something I would soon come to regret. Iida's not going to come out of his fight with Stain without something life-threatening and/or career-ending.

Ilda isn't going to die, he is going to take the exact wrong lesson to heart here. He is going to decide the hero system isn't what he wants to work in, that sometimes people deserve being punished and even hurt. He is going to embrace his hate, and soon he shall become... Quite Evil. He hates the hero killer, he won't listen to him.

Seeing that giant SMASSSSSSH!!! sound effect made me realize just how much I need to learn japanese, cause manga do sound effects all the time and I never really know what they're saying, but they add so much to a scene when you can understand them. That two page spread was glorious.

Dr_Amazing posted:You'd only need to learn the katakana so it would be a lot easier than trying to actually learn to read Japanese. Well I mean, I can read the katakana just fine, but the understanding doesn't really set in. Japan uses different sound effects and onomatopoeia and poo poo so unless you're actually familiar with the language they're just words that don't associate with the sounds they're supposed to represent. Brought To You By posted:Funny enough, that sound effect is in english in the japanese text. Well, yeah, that's what made it so good. Translations never do the sound effects unless they're really good official ones, and even then they can't do really nicely drawn ones like this was.

I once tried to typeset a manga including sound effects. poo poo gets exponentially harder and time-consuming, it's unreal. Once you decide to do it you have to do it for all effects, most of which are over complex backgrounds and then you get a shitton more cleaning and redrawing to do and jesus christ. I can see why most groups don't try it.
