Chinese spoiler scans are out. I'm at work however so I don't have a link on hand. Bars folks. Stain is a pretty tough customer- even Todoroki can't effectively hold him off, much less hurt him. Stain's quirk is explained, Midoriya's paralysis wears off. Even both Midoriya and Todoroki together still find themselves unable to make headway, and are starting to get injured (Stain throws two of his knives into Todoroki's fire arm and manages to cut Midoriya I think).

Here's the Chinese scans. God loving drat Stain is powerful. He's on a whole different level from Shiragaki in terms of fighting ability. He's got this incredibly strategic style of fighting where you have to pay attention to everything he's doing because he's constantly attacking you in different ways at the same loving time, like that quadruple threat he used against Torodoki. He's also goddamn terrifying when he gets serious.

He may be constantly being interrupted but Stain seems to be enjoying the poo poo out of himself. Edit with really minor spoiler relating to Stain's quirk: Stain's power works on bloodtypes, with Stain's being A, Midoriya being O, and Iida being B if I remember right. Vaguely clever. According to Japanese beliefs on bloodtypes... A: Best traits Earnest, sensible, reserved, patient, responsible Worst traits Fastidious, overearnest, stubborn, tense B: Best traits Passionate, active, doer, creative, strong Worst traits irresponsible, unforgiving, "going own way" O: Best traits Confident, self-determined, optimistic, strong-willed, intuitive Worst traits Self-centered, cold, doubtful, unpredictable, "workaholic" Fabricated fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Jul 31, 2015 |

If the soft translations off /a/ are to be believed, Todoroki's made remarkable progress since his battle with Deku.  Man though, this fight's been a complete 180 from the Space Jam arc. Stain really is a beast. It's all Deku and Todoroki can do to stall for time.

Can't wait for the translation so I can figure out what's going on with Ida; he looks like he's going through some sort of revelation while watching and listening to Deku and Hailfire. The fight looks loving awesome too. .

I'm thinking the issue will be that Iida ditched his hero at the worst possible time to enact his dumb revenge plot, and will result in major punishment from the school/heroes.

Bad Seafood posted:My guess is one of two things will happen: I really feel like it's gonna be No. 2 there, due to some weird paneling on the last two pages. I am not entirely sure who had the thought bubble that said "I'm gonna kill you!" but judging by how the three panels before it are all Iida dwelling on things people have said during the fight, I'm wondering if that was also Iida. Stain wouldn't have thought that (he's too busy being impressed with these proper hero types showing up who he doesn't want to kill), Deku wouldn't have thought that, Todoroki wouldn't have thought that, Nameless Hero Victim wouldn't have thought that. I'm left thinking that Iida is so resentful of being saved and failing his mission that he actively wants to kill Stain and/or his friends over getting in his way. vvvv See, that makes more sense, but that panel didn't look like a flashback like the rest so I was confused about it. gnome7 fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Aug 1, 2015 |

Pretty sure he was reminiscing of what Todoroki, Stain and Deku said (Variants of "Protect somebody") vs what he said ("I'll kill you") in the previous chapters.

I don't think we'll see the dark consequences of this stuff untill much later I'm guessing we'll just leave Ida with some bubbling resentment.

Twiddy posted:Considering the narrator explicitly says that he regrets that he couldn't save/help Iida? No. On the other hand, Iida just got his arm hosed up and stabbed a couple times while being taunted by the guy who crippled his brother. I'd feel pretty lovely about not realizing my friend was in such a bad place that he ran off and got himself into that situation.

I'd be kinda confused if he got in real trouble for vanishing from the side of his hero unless the dude literally got killed by a Noumu in the meanwhile. Like, the whole town is on loving fire and there's monsters and a deranged ninja turtle loving everything up confusion is expected.

It's two things really, the first being Deku's ominous narration as Fabricated and others have said. The other though is that we're still very much in the incubation stage for this series. We've got a good bead on how things are supposed to operate, sure, but there's still some uncertainty. Generally speaking, I'd agree that MHA's pretty upbeat, but it's also a world that's implied to have "Consequences." People have died, albeit off-screen, and Iida's own brother has had his superhero career cut short. The plot itself is kickstarted by All Might's need to find a successor in light of his injuries, which will most likely mean his death at some point. (gonna crib a bit from forums poster Xibanya here) In the first chapter of Dragon Ball you have Bulma shooting Goku, a small child, with a gun. The bullets bounce off him harmlessly. Goku is annoyed, but otherwise unscathed. This immediately sets a certain tone for the series. In the real world this would be a fairly traumatic event, but Dragon Ball is not the real world. It's a cartoony world where consequences are mitigated in favor of comedy. Ha ha, she shot him. Hilarious. Even when Dragon Ball does get around to introducing more serious elements, the consequences are still kept reasonably low. Freiza may blow up an entire planet, but we can just wish everyone back with the dragon balls. In the first chapter of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a woman is sacrificed on a stone slab while another dude gets his blood sucked by an Aztec vampire. A few years later (in the very same chapter), a stagecoach accident kills George Joestar's wife and chauffeur. As with Dragon Ball, the level of consequence in this universe is made immediately clear. People die in Jojo. Sometimes they die horribly. Jojo is capable of being just as silly as Dragon Ball, of course, but even in its lighter moments you still have that lingering fear of death. When people die in Jojo, they typically stay dead. If we wanna view Dragon Ball as one side of the scale and Jojo as the other, we still don't know exactly where MHA lies with regards to actions having consequences. I've talked a lot about death in this post, but I don't mean anybody (least of all Iida) needs to die to establish this. MHA is a fun world where kids have superpowers and design their own costumes. It's also a world with bullying, crippling injuries, and abusive parents. Will Iida recover from this, or will his character take a darker turn? In a lot of ways, this is where MHA will cement exactly where it falls on the spectrum.

Yeah, that pretty much. Basically I think part of what might be keeping a lot of readers interested that might not be otherwise is that we haven't really had that "stakes raising" moment when you find out the boundaries of who or what is "off limits".

I can definitely see Ida taking the wrong message from Stain and becoming more jaded and anti hero i doubt it would be immediate though just a darkness festering deep down inside him.

When he mentions it in a previous page after the first one got captured he says he'll pass it along to have some more loaded up, implying he has a partner doing the actual nomu building while he just takes care of Shigaraki's stuff.

Vengarr posted:I still think the Hero Killer is going to Kill a Hero. He's definitely not in a pretty-looking position at the end of this chapter. Stain is flipping out and coming right for him with those knives. Also, from a meta standpoint, we just got a big moving moment this chapter where Todoroki is revealed to have moved past his issues and is reconnecting with his mother; I'm not sure if this comic will actually pull killing one of the kids but if it will then he's thrown up some death flags this chapter.

Well, based on box explanation, the next person to have the paralysis wear off is going to be the first hero caught, so maybe they're the one who's going to die in a final act of self-sacrifice?
