In the Korean translation, All Might emphasizes that the fact that people feel insecure about / have trouble trusting 'the UA of the present' is an unavoidable fact, and that the heroes of UA are seeking to make changes because they realize the current situation is unacceptable. The Mangastream translation makes it sound like the school itself is in disarray, while the Korean translation is more about how people currently perceive UA, what with the many scandals it has undergone. He's saying that it can't be helped that people currently don't have confidence in UA, not that this perception (or the school if you follow Mangastream's translation) can't be changed. So he's asking her to shift her perspective from the UA of now to the UA of the future.

When in doubt, blame Mangastream.

It's not her just going "okay", there's a lot more gravitas in what All Might is saying because he is pretty much the greatest hero in the world and a living legend. His words carry far more weight than most, and the dude's bowing down before her.

And like other people have said, she's doing this for her son, and Deku's heartfelt words reached her as well.

Yeah, and that's what's really cool about All Might. He's a good person, you'd think he'd have a huge ego like Endeavour, but at every opportunity he earnestly tries to do the right thing, and that's hard not to love. He only really seems to use his public image to encourage peace. On the translation note, I wish it were easier to find raws, I usually pick up the Tankoubon voolumes, but they come out way later or whatever...

I was sure that's where he was going. It would certainly help his argument that he's the best possible teacher for Deku, but I suppose he doesn't even see himself that way anymore. Grandpa Megaman taught Deku way more in the short time they were together.

All Might hasn't really given him much training help besides the while beach cleanup thing.

On the one hand, it is directly All Might's fault that Deku is in a position where he has been put in extreme danger and is pursuing a career path that will put him in further danger in the future. All Might allowing Deku to accept One For All without consulting her is the height of hubris and irresponsibility, since he's not an adult, he's a teenager and she's his parent.

On the other hand, it is directly All Might's fault that Deku has an opportunity to actually achieve his sole driving dream and motivation since childhood which was previously thought to be impossible while also granting her son the greatest power in the world and the opportunity to learn how to use it. Prior to his meeting with All Might, Deku had pretty much retreated into a hopeless fantasy world and was living in denial.

I could see it going either way, really. All Might got pretty close to spilling the beans already by talking about how he believed Deku was his successor.

It isn't just that he gave Deku a quirk which allowed him to attend ua in order to become a hero. Rather, the problem is that he gave Deku a quirk that is tearing his body apart and may permanently cripple him. If Deku wasn't the protagonist of a shounen fighting manga he would have a very real risk of ruining himself before he ever realized his potential. Dekumom doesn't seem to be very genre-savvy.

That would be a good gag in Gintama or something, but one of the big themes is kids like Bakugo assume they're the main characters of the universe, and kids like Deku do not.

To be fair taking Izuku out of UA at this time would be pointless. Shigaraki knows his name, his face, and he wants him dead. I doubt he'd give a hot poo poo if Izuku actually ended up withdrawing from UA.

I still don't get how dorming the students is a major improvement when the enemy still has a dude who can just teleport people anywhere he wants and knows UA campus already. You can't hide the dorms for too long if they're not obvious.

With dorms you can keep a few Pro Heroes on call as security for all the students at all times

I don't think it's a matter of hiding them so much as them being a hella secure setup, even if you have excellent infiltration powers

Every time the kids have been attacked by villains in the past, the reason why it's been a huge deal is that the pro heroes were too far away or too scattered to intervene immediately. If the kids are all living at a dorm in UA, presumably there will be a dedicated guard of pro heroes around a relatively concentrated area all the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if the teachers start living on campus too, and being in charge of various dorms. Maybe in addition to hiring on a supplementary security force. Got to be more than a few hero companies who do security work--plus guarding UA would be a good way for them to scout and recruit talent.

If Shigaraki's HR department improves his mook quality I dunno- having pros close on-hand is nice until the kids and everyone are all in close quarters in a building.

Honestly though they'll probably factor attacking the dorms as being too risky when the most straightforward (and too realistic/boring/unfun) thing to do would be to use AFO's apparently extensive resources to just buy 100 pounds of simtex, stick a timer on it, and have blackmist plop it into the building somewhere and call it a day.

Until we get a panel of the villains dramatically gating into UA in a reprise of the rescue scene, I'm going to assume that only Shigaraki infiltrated. He was the only one shown to be at the gate. And sure Blackmist could have been there off-panel but I'm betting he wasn't. It''s too easy for them otherwise, and you would have to start explaining away why they don't make better use of it. Besides, you would think a tall figure with a formless head and a strange metal collar would be easy to spot on UA's security footage, crowd or not, but it hasn't ever come up.

Maybe they can divide the school into four houses, with fanciful names. And then they can all wear color-coded scarves and sweaters. Also I think Deku needs glasses.

I'd also say there's a decent chance that they pull out some kind of teleportation countermeasure, either a Quirk or a device. They didn't have it before because, as they said, teleportation is super rare.
