SwissArmyDruid posted: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? Dude was targeted specifically because he was a lovely hero to begin with. Stain doesn't kill people he thinks are worthy of being called Heroes, seeing as he was happy to leave Deku alive and leave him be after murdering Iida and Bad-American-Indian-Cosplayer-Hero-Man. I see the original hero that was targeted more as the type to run away when he gets the chance leaving everyone else to die.

Don't click that link to a very obvious chinese raw site that's been posted in the thread before if you don't want spoilers. Some actual comic spoilers - Holy poo poo Iida's brother has the BEST eyebrows. That eyebrow game TOO STRONG.

$7 if you buy it right now. I was ordering something else anyway so I decided to throw vol. 1 up on the pile. If anyone cares, I'll keep you guys posted on how VIZ handled the physical release.

I'd actually be interested to learn Stain's criteria for determining who is or isn't a true hero. Iida's brother seems like a pretty sweet dude, but he must've done something for Stain to consider him an acceptable target. That or Stain isn't as thorough in his grading as he'd like us to believe, I guess. Also,  combo attack.

So I guess we're not looking at Darth Iida after all. My guess is either Deku ends up getting majorly injured from his imperfect One for All usage, or Iida pushes himself too hard trying to be an ideal hero and ends up wrecking himself physically, psychologically, or both.

That or Stain isn't as thorough in his grading as he'd like us to believe, I guess. I think Stain is just really stubborn and set in his ways and possesses a very narrow frame of what a hero should be like. Stain probably views any hero who benefits via being a hero as unworthy. Like, no matter how nice of a person you may be and how pure your intentions may be, if you get paid from being a hero, you're probably in Stain's poo poo list. And the manga does show that earning a living as a hero means that you end up taking actions that aren't what you'd expect a normal hero to do. The first chapter has heroes trying to one up each other, like the case with Mount Lady and Kamui. There doesn't seem to be much in terms of teamwork when you're dealing with the average villain. It's all about standing out, cause fame means more jobs and sponsorship and money. The quintessential gently caress-you-got-mine experience. Despite his fame, All Might doesn't appear to make a living off being a hero. We don't hear about him having a hero agency or sidekicks, while Endorph and Ingenium and so on have bigass companies (Ingenium had over 60 sidekicks according to an earlier chapter).

I actually forgot Ingenium is basically Hero Incorporated, which - yeah - even if he's a great guy doesn't look good.

He can probably live off of endorsements, or selling action figures or something.

Plus, even if they're not on the USJ Nomu's level, it's still multiple quirks that were almost certainly chosen for how they work together and probably simplicity of use.

Todoroki is kind of an idiot. Stain's quirk is ridiculously powerful, it's just not consistent. Nevermind that the only hits anyone has landed on him have been surprise attacks. Technically if you're alone all he has to do is hit you once and taste your blood and it's over. Also Horikoshi needs to bop his editors on the head:

That's what Todokori means. In the right conditions Stain's quirk is extremely powerful, but in others (such as versus groups) it's worthless purely by itself. That he's doing so well against them is more because of just how skilled Stain is, that he's able to more than make up for his Quirk's inherent weaknesses.

Also Stain is an assassin, he normally would just run away in this kind of situation. With how strong Stain is even without his quirk I wonder if we'll see any true quirk-less heroes(though they would have to be hiding it otherwise Deku would've known about them).

Their teacher (Eraserhead) is very similar to Stain. Both good fighters with a quirk that disables their opponent. Stains quirk has a more powerful effect (total paralysis vs. cancel quirk), and although it is harder to apply, it can be used against multiple heroes at once. If I remember correctly Deku said that Eraserhead is actually quite powerful specifically against groups.

Well, sort of; Eraserhead was skilled at fighting groups, but as the fight went on he was getting worn down, and Shigaraki correctly observed that it was far from his preferred method of fighting; he's actually a hit-and-run specialist as well. He was just taking on the massive group for the sake of the kids. Which still draws parallels to Stain, really, in that this also isn't his ideal situation and, if it weren't for his (insane) convictions, Stain would probably be getting the hell out of here rather than fighting a losing battle.

He was just taking on the massive group for the sake of the kids. It makes me wonder if any quirks we have seen so far would be good especially against groups (single person vs. group). All I can think of is the brainwashing quirk, because it can be hard countered by a single person by not responding, but in a group you would probably always have someone react to it. And he can use against multiple people at once, so the more people that respond to him the more powerful the quirk is.

Both of them can hit massive areas with extremely dangerous elemental powers, and the latter's debut even demonstrated its great effectiveness while also having his allies have to hide from it because otherwise they would have been fried too.
