Was going back looking for another scene when I ran across this. So Hagakure gets everyone to go to the mall at the same time that Tomura happens to be there, it adds more to the theory of her being the mole.

Doesn't Shiggy only stomp off to the mall because he's annoyed at having to accept rabble like Dabi and Toga into the club?

Going to the mall wasn't part of Shigaraki's plan, he only went there because he got all mad about those stain-worshiping idiots he had to take on. He was just as surprised as Deku. Otherwise he probably would have worn his hands

I hope that Hagakure is not the mole honestly. I think her gimmick is funny, but frankly as a character that you can't see except for clothes when she wears them she's basically just a running gag without much personality. Having an empty panel or a floating shirt explain why she is the traitor (and the comic really hasn't focused on her whatsoever; I think big hands girl has had more) would be kind of lame.

most of the problems with any of the traitor theories can be resolved if said traitor reported to a41 instead of shigaraki. even the buddy cop, who has always been the least suspicious guy alive. various suspects are made considerably less suspicious based on what shigaraki knew. he didn't know about the hero raid, all might's condition, etc.

Mordaedil posted:It's not that hard to figure out, he was a fit teenager, trained, became super-buff, inherited OfA, got his stomach and guts blasted out, became a lot weaker and he puffs himself up similar to how fat men on the beach suck in their stomachs to appear buff and fit. But holding the stomach in tends to be exhausting, so too is the pretense of being big and buff without any guts left to keep them up. He's literally been ripping up his old wounds just to be a hero, but now it is over and his guts can't take it anymore. The explanation for losing his powers wasn't his health problem, it's that once you pass on One for All you're left with a finite remnant that eventually burns out. And even if muscle form's bodybuilding is natural, for the third time that doesn't explain the hair or the skintone or the heroic bone structure or the dark shading.

Aurora posted:"Kaioken x20 is merely a desperate cry meant to pump Goku up, not literal." -Akira Toriyama It's not just the kaioken multipliers that are literal either, also when anybody talks about using a percentage of their power, and the obvious classic example of power levels themselves. I think a lot of shonen is like that one way or another because it's made for little/adolescent boys and they love having numerical representations of stuff. But I'm not blaming Horikoshi for the misunderstanding. Part of what makes Hero Academia great is that it's not like normal shonen; it's less afraid to use metaphors, have realistic consequences, move at a brisk pace and have drama and "times" moments. It's like shonen for people who are sick of shonen.

Hunter x Hunter is for those children. Yeesh. I don't really get the hoary chestnut of "it's actually impossible to give more than 100% ", because a true pedant can easily prove that wrong. hang in there Horikoshi.

I'd argue the amount of 'well-doneness' certainly makes it unique. It carries a different voice than most Shonen series, and does it to an exemplary level. Deku isn't a typical shonen lead, Baku is..etc, It certainly holds themes about young boys trying their best, and exciting action, though.. It's a lot more in line with One Piece (which was also an outlier, and now also the biggest Shonen series ever to be conceived.) I'd say it's far from predictable too, most people thought All Might was gonna flat out die, or be a villain at one point, it's a lot easier to be smug in hindsight. I've won over a few friends who said "I'm tired of shonen" with it, but some people are always going to be haters about anime.
