Reading through the chapter again, I just want to say how much I love that Mt. Lady wears a loving truck on her foot to axe kick through the outside of the warehouse and the hero (and his power) who slips in through the door. Horikoshi really does know how to fabricate characters that despite only being "side characters", are compelling and creative. Speaking of, I need to see more character cameos from Oumagadoki. We've gotten Uwabami and Sakamata, we just need an animal from the circus. If it's going by relative popularity, I'll bet it's Toytoy.

Uuuh, Mt. Lady isn't a side character, she's the best character. (But yeah, that attention to detail in a weekly is pretty great)

I don’t know whether this was the author’s intention or not, but for me, the genius of this series lies in its critique of ideology, represented by All Might’s self-awareness of the fact that his role of symbolic justice supersedes what he actually does as a hero. Even more important than his actual physical state of powerlessness, the polarity of Izuku and Katsuki’s characters prove the failure in the trappings of a hero centric society, as they are seen as weaker than All Might or any other veteran hero simply because of the outwardness of the way they display their emotions and personality. People’s adoration of heroism as a symbol robs a hero their right of individuality and that will become society’s bane. I'm a dumb nerd who cares too much about animes

There really shouldn't be a "symbol of peace" honestly. Yeah, it's super cool that All Might is that awesome and that Midoriya will likely be just as awesome but if the difference between relative peace and relative chaos is just NotSuperman's existence than honestly the system is poo poo. That's why I wonder if in the end we'll see a shift from "The Symbol of Peace" being just a single dude, to it being say, the whole graduating class of UA.

Okay, what the hell is that on that last page? It looks like a mass of twisted metal and a lot of... Darkness? Gore? Did All For One just murder all those heroes in a really horrific way? Deku certainly looks like he's about to throw up at the sight, and Todoroki of all people looks horrified as well. Edit: Also who brought in all the Noumus? Did All For One do that? It looks like Black Mist got stabbed early on (though I'm assuming the heroes didn't just murder him), and anyway that teleporation or whatever doesn't look like his, so is All For One making big plays in two places at once or did Shigaraki get granted another power when we weren't looking or something? Man, this chapter looks insane. Between this and HXH there are some crazy new chapters this week. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Unless it's a style thing he seems to be doing the same thing as Black Mist. He even has the neck brace if you look carefully. Deku and Todoroki's horror is presumably from the speed at which he took out half a dozen heroes. You'll notice he did it so fast only Todoroki and Deku who were watching it actually even saw it. Kirishima didn't even get the chance to turn around. AfO taking out the heroes is a mini-flashback. He's the one that teleports the Noumu in and Kacchan out. I'm going to wait to talk about the biggest revelation, which requires reading the translation. LostRook fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Still makes exactly what happened to the heroes a mystery, and I bet it wasn't pleasant. (Also looks like Ragdoll got caught in it too, since she was in Tiger's arms. Jeez.) Also I was right about Ragdoll's power being nabbed, and I think he's also using it in his assault on the heroes, though I wasn't expecting targeted Noumu-teleportation (and Bakugou-kidnapping) to be how he used it. That's actually nastier than what I expected in a way.

If you've read the translation, you might notice the biggest revelation from the chapter is that Shigaraki Tomura or Shimura has been in front of us the entire time.

If you're annoyed about the spoilers, whomever's reading, the "cheapo" translation is plenty good enough for reading. You'll have to wait for Fallen Angels or pay for the Viz scans for a better scan however, because this is a pretty rough scan and Mangastream has horrendously bad cleaners.

Ah, the spoilers themselves aren't a terrible thing, unless it's full on 3 pages of it or something. I just initially saw 2 posts (on my phone), read the spoilers on the first before realizing that the second was the Korean scans when if the "new chapter" post was first i wouldn't have tapped on the spoilers. Now that I know it's new chapter stuff, I'll just not click any spoilers until I read it. No biggie.

As for my own comments on the spoilers : Whatever that teleport method it is, it's grisly- watch Bakugou suddenly start vomiting up that black tar that eventually envelops him and ports him away. I'm shocked Hori had the villians take him back.  Baron Explodokill.

Oh, that's interesting. For those who don't remember (which included me somewhat, was a bit fuzzy on the details): "Shimura" was the name of the person All Might got One For All from, and was apparently a friend of Gran Torino's. All For One killed him. And, given the shared name, apparently decided to start mentoring his kid, because he's just that much of an rear end in a top hat. That seems like it's going to be important, to say the least.

That was the most insane chapter in the entire series to date. All this poo poo went down in just twenty pages: Ragdoll had her Quirk stolen. Tiger, Orca, Best Jeanist, Mt. Lady, and Ragdoll were killed or severely wounded. It happened so fast, only Todoroki and Deku even saw it. Iida and Momo might have been nailed too, though its hard to tell --but there's a giant hole in the wall right where they were standing. All For One teleported all the Noumus to VA headquarters. This happened in less than two minutes. Shigaraki is the son of the previous holder of One for All. Bakugou got kidnapped again. Skull Face is making his final play. What a loving turnaround. As if stealing Quirks wasn't enough, he even stole All Might's catchphrase, the absolute fiend.

Given that All for One Has a teleport quirk and looks very much like Black Mist while using it. I am guessing he ether granted Black Mist a variant of his power or Black Mist is his son

My only issue with this is that it doesn't make sense for All for One to bide his time for decades or whatever if he's strong enough to take out literally every non-All-Might hero in an instant (and from what we've seen it looks like he could probably defeat All Might as well, even ignoring All Might's recent weakness). I don't know how you could even do a fight between such a guy and any of the existing characters.

Well, the giant hole in the wall didn't necessarily come from All For One; Mount Lady smashed the place open, after all. The heroes are just... Gone. No idea where, though judging from the wreckage in the background, it might be rather far off. So it's still not looking good for them. Also, All For One is floating in that panel.

I know she didn't smash those, that's why I mentioned them there. Though yeah, I wasn't sure what those little shapes were but enlarging the image shows that's definitely at least some of the heroes there. Not sure if Mount Lady is among them; if she shrinks after losing consciousness or something, then yes, but otherwise, I guess she got blown away or something? Edit: Though, that might be her in the foreground of that panel, or one of the others. It's hard to tell. So shrinking when defeated seems like the most likely explanation. Also I just realized that the Noumus were all in the blast radius too. Wow, those things are durable. I mean, that's the point of them, but still.

I didn't see that there's more gameplay footage out for the 3DS game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Kwgdlg_gc It looks like Asui's gimmick is that you can power her up by playing a minigame or something on the bottom screen.

Given all the talk about what it means to be Symbol of Peace and how much of a front All Might has to put up to keep people smiling, I think it's more or less certain that his evil counterpart is doing the same thing. There's some trick or weakness that means he's not as overwhelmingly strong as he seems, whether it's a time limit or a weird vulnerability. I mean, there just about has to be to explain why he isn't already ruling the world or at least manning an army of stolen quirks.
