Now that I've seen The Force Awakens I can't stop seeing Kylo Ren in Shigaraki. Edit: Also I remembered this scene from Trigun- I think it's why I liked the Shigaraki/Midoriya confrontation a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYVtO78T0To Fabricated fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Dec 23, 2015 |

Yeah Shigaraki did not plan to murder Deku at all nor did he plan to run into him. It just happened and Shigaraki's plan from then onwards was just to scare a kid he met before. Deku pointed out to Shigaraki that if he killed him the middle of the crowd he would be detected and Heroes would come and capture him. Shigaraki pointed out in return he could kill 20 to 30 people before he was captured to ensure he did not rat him out. Shigaraki is not stupid and that was clearly a just in case threat as he still does not want to get captured.

On a tangent from that, I just remembered something I talked about before: Shigaraki's power, while scary, is so small-scale compared to the average "main villain". Like, killing twenty or thirty people before being taken out by someone in a mall, that'd be awful, but a "normal" villain (by the standards of fiction in general, not this series in particular) would be a completely unstoppable threat to the world until the hero manages to unlock the power of friendship or whatever to match them. Shigaraki's not scary because he's a walking WMD or something, he's scary because of what he represents, as the leader of the Villain Alliance and the budding Symbol of Evil to rival All Might's Symbol of Peace. And, of course, because he's a complete head case and looks menacing as hell whether he's in "costume" or not, and he has shown that he will go for the kids if he can. He's not some nebulous darkness on the horizon, he's a threat in both a general way and a very personal, direct one to our protagonists.

I predict the mole is Alien Queen, if only to give her something interesting to do. Besides, secreting acid? Total villain power.

Can't wait for Shinsou's transfer because that probably means that there's going to be a Shinsou origin chapter and it's going to be awesome. Edit: Come to think of it, his two chapters are probably origin-y enough which is why they are awesome and he is awesome. HellishWhiskers fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Dec 25, 2015 |

In a world of magical superpowers, I don't really see why a mole is necessary anyway. They just need a clairvoyant on their team or something.

How often is it that people with just guns in malls can kill that many people? He is barely more dangerous in terms of how many people he can kill than a man with an automatic weapon and no regard for human life. Which I think is a good thing, we don't need to start off with someone who can nuke cities from orbit with eyebeams like Darkseid

The problem with "regular" villains is that they need a reason to fight the students. The villain alliance wants All Might and to a lesser degree the students dead so UA is the target. That's why the non-certified hero students get to fight bad guys and foil their plots. You'd need a reason that UA students would be the ones fighting notUltron instead of the pros. E: also this is why I think all for one is likely the final villain of the series. Which is kinda disappointing since I'd like Midoria to have his own rogues gallery instead of most of his villains being dudes who just work for AFO in some way.

Kuroyama posted:This isn't "All Might Beyond", with Deku as Japanese Terry McGinnis. This is more like a war story, with all the soldiers being super heroes/villains, some of them in training. What's needed is mentions of the villain alliance going out and performing more "hero killings". All Might and UA students should just be the top priorities, but not the only ones. The stain fans literally just joined up and this is (a few of) their actual debut as characters, before this Shiragaki and the VA were quite aimless besides a general 'wanna kill that smug prick all might', he didnt even want to target and kill other heroes unless they were between him and all might. quote:Shiragaki will probably take out AfO at some point and take full control of the villain alliance, and he's being set up as the anti-Deku. Shigaraki is totally being groomed to be AfOs new body im thinking. Whether something goes wrong in yhe switch and either dies or they become some composite im not sure.

Raws are out finally- which is getting kind of annoying because literally every series seems to get its raws first before MHA. Little bit of training shown/explained, convenient excuse to split everyone up happens, more villains show up, they finally attack the kids, one of the kitty kats jobs out immediately.
