So we're cool with the months long time skip at the beginning of this manga, but nothing after that? Can we be satisfied by a series of short time skips interrupted by a couple panels showing minimal development, which will later be set to music in the anime?


Time skips are fine and nothing to worry about. They're no more horrible than any other trope or storytelling tool. It's all about how you use them.
The 8 month montage was before he even joined UA. I'm fine with shorter movements (we've skipped 1-3 weeks on a regular basis) but generally in my experience those 1-2+ year timeskips are complete poo poo in anything but stories centered around long progressions of time/full lifetimes/etc. I just flat out have an aversion to them.

Once the WSJ version is out could somebody post the last page here? Mangastream's poo poo cleaning made it into a mass of black and I'm sure there's something interesting there, just like that time Deku saw the ghosts of OfA during the tournament.

It is a mass of black. It's identical to Kurogiri. He even has the white eyes and the collar.

The story is at least covering the several years of High School, possibly longer depending on the definition of academia used. Considering they're all teenagers even a couple months skipped due to a school break can result in large physical changes.

There's no particular reason to expect a big timeskip here.

Bakugou's reaction to All Might failing is more concerning.

Oh and apparently Himiko's name was rendered readable in pun form in the latest chapter so we can get a glimpse of her power.

Possession or shapeshifting, I'd guess. Power copying is already taken.

Doesn't seem like a very useful power for her, to be honest. Girl doesn't exactly have the sort of personality you'd want for an infiltrator.

That depends on exactly how it works. For instance if her quirk copies both the appearance and mind of the target it could be used to get information, or good for spying as a sort of sleeper agent. Or if the power copies both the target's appearance and their quirk that could be really powerful.

Yeah everyone's names were in there this chapter.

Shigaraki's reads kinda cool IIRC when you just read the translated characters put together. Something like "branch of the tree of death".

I figure if/when All-Might dies, it won't be to a villain. He debuted rescuing dozens of people from a disaster--I think he'll die the same way, saving innocent people. Maybe your classic situation where the villain puts a bunch of people in danger in order to get away.

You post this, but neglect to include this...thing?

It makes me wonder, not for the first time, what persuades the group to include the fanart they do. Is it nepotism? Do the artists ("artists") submit it? It's just so jarring to scroll down another disappointing chapter of Bleach and suddenly see a bishounen Kenpachi.

He never met stain and never cared that his classmates did. I doubt he has even thought about stain beyond "oh yeah I could totally beat him up".

it'll probably be because his power runs out, as has been a running theme throughout the whole manga thus far. dude has a time limit

For real though, Tiger & Bunny is super good and well worth a watch, either dub or sub. The movie (Rising) is also great. Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning is kind of a summary of the series and can be skipped.

I've been reading more of it. I admit, Bakugo is better written than most characters in his archetype, but I dunno if I can say I actually like him yet.

I think there's issues with how much of an unrepentant rear end in a top hat he is, but it does at least feel more honest than other characters he can be compared to.
