Honestly, I'm a little curious as to how Stain can bounce back from a 5% Smash to the noggin. Given that the air pressure alone was enough to blow Todoroki's guard away, a direct hit ought to have shattered his skull. But, you know how it is.

And he subconsciously holds back when hitting people.

KoB posted:Guy ITT that said Stain would respect Deku for being more of a true hero was probably right. Stain doesn't seem like the type to decide quickly, but jumping in to stop another dude getting killed is probably a step in the right direction. Certainly better than chasing off for your own reasons.

Stain is definitely going to praise Deku for his heroism, especially likely if Deku does something to save that other hero at great risk to himself. And then, by some means or other, he's going to get away. And that is going to open a gigantic goddamn rift between Deku and Iida, which is why narrator-Deku was so regretful about what happened in Hosu.

Well yeah, but didn't we figure that Todoroki was protecting himself with ice? That really should have knocked him clean out. Unless he's using even less than 5% when he hits people. Subconsciously afraid of turning men into spaghetti and meatballs, I'd imagine.

Narrator Deku may be regretful because failing to take notice of it led directly to Gran Torino's demise saving both Deku and Iida from what Iida did because he failed to notice, rather than anything to do with Iida himself being hurt. Or at least, that's my theory. For Stain to win his bet with Shigaraki he has to do something pretty big, and killing Iida or driving him to vigilante activities ain't really all that big a deal.

I guess Gran Torino could die. It'd make sense. All Might has to die at some point, and the whole "I've lost my mentor who really understood One For All and heroism and etc etc" angle is kinda blunted when a dude who knew All Might AND his predecessor really well is still loving alive.

It doesn't matter who made the bet, Stain has to do more than kill some no name trainee hero to impress Shigaraki and force some change in his character regardless. If all Stain does is injure, kill or disillusion Iida then Shigaraki will remain unimpressed with him and not change. If Stain kills a famous old hero like Gran Torino (assuming Shigaraki has heard of him despite Deku not for plot reasons) then he would be sufficiently impressed to start growing as a character. And all signs seem to point to Shigaraki mirroring Deku in his growth due to mentor characters. His growth coming at the hands of a mentor who killed Deku's mentor just makes it all the more symbolic.

Probably the name of the quirk used to make the Noumus, given that it seems to work by transferring other people's quirks to the subject (remember, the captured Noumu had DNA from at least four other people or something).

Stain doesn't have to do anything, he wasn't part of the original bet and has no interest in random violence. All his actions so far have proven he's got a really deepseated code of honour to the point he gave Iida a chance to leave before attacking because he's a "child." Shigaraki might end up getting his rear end kicked by someone like Endeavor or even Midoriya while Blackmist just watches and calls him a loving nerd with a few I told you so's thrown in for good measure. It could also go the other way where Stain gets super pissed at what a lovely brat Shigaraki is being and goes and fucks him up again to teach him a lesson. Really, it's up in the air what's going to happen since it could be referring to anything. The only thing that's for sure is that Iida is going to regret doing something or end up even more injured than he already is.

Shigaraki isn't even fighting and is hanging back due to injuries, so he's very unlikely to get in a fight. Even if he did get attacked, Black Mist would probably just teleport them out. I don't understand how you can look at the fact that he made a bet, essentially with himself that hinges on the outcome of what Stain and the Noumu's achieve and not think that the climax of this arc will hinge upon what those two sets of characters (Stain versus the Noumus in indirect competition) achieve. Stain might not know or care that he is part of a bet, but it's almost definitely going to to affect how things proceed not just here but for Shigaraki's immediate future if you consider what is likely to happen dependent on what the outcome of the bet is.

Cause back when he didn't know how to hold back he was creating huge air blasts from punching robots, so I assumed that 5% of that would non-bone-destroying.

It's not clear how his new approach works. I think what he's doing is spreading that same 5% out over his body, rather than raising his whole body to 5% of maximum. It's like an energy rather than a temperature. That's why it's a new, safer technique rather than a way to break all of his bones at once. But it's ambiguous. Regardless, he's hit people before.

Puttimg his entire body at the same energy probably is why he hasnt broken anything yet. Like when he used it on his finger/hand he probably turned it on then right back off. The momentum and force is still there and normal Deku limbs cant take that. Semi-Skimmed Deku though, could

Semi-skinned Deku can probably take a hit, too. That's part of All Night's powerset too, isn't it?

The true nature of One For All; like what the gently caress the energy it uses is, where it comes from, how it's "fostered" by the user, how it's passed on, the origin of it, etc etc is probably some gigantic end-game reveal I imagine.

Honestly, at most I'd want the story to address the shining baby if it wanted to delve anywhere near the 'origins' of Quirks, but otherwise I really hope they don't try and pin it down precisely. Stuff like that almost always gets nonsensical and convoluted, though admittedly MHA wouldn't have to rectify several decades of continuity in such an attempt ala western superhero comics.

Someone found the glowing baby, and said "Spiral staircase, Rhinoceros beetle, Ruins street, Fig tart, Rhinoceros beetle, Via dolorosa, Rhinoceros beetle, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Secret emperor, Singularity point, Giotto" That's where quirks come from.
