Heh, just noticed that Mineta got pretty inventive (and assholish) with his Target placement.

All the other school's students were being all nice and complimentary to how great UA was because they all had a footnote saying "and that's why we're going to destroy you." Bakugou saw through the act immediately.

I like that while Deku may not have immediately picked up on the act, as soon as he heard the rules he quickly figured out the implications. Deku maybe not a people person, but for sure he can min-max with the best of them.

Scrap Dragon posted:It's funny that you'd mention the system being designed to discourage teamwork because keeping the class together seems to be Deku's gameplan The thing is that the rest of these students are supposed to be their colleagues as well and now they're encouraged to literally gently caress eachother over for just a preliminary license? No wonder so many heroes are loving sociopaths. Stain did nothing wrong.

I don't see any of other groups screwing each other over. Most schools seem like they will work together.

MHA is a shounen battle manga in weekly jump so physical violence is to be expected. It's refreshing to see "realistic" responses to violence in a comic (like the police evacuating the mall after Shigaraki and Deku's conversation, The faculty having to apologize for endangering the students on national television, etc) but at the same time the main characters will have to fight someone because it's the rule of the genre and is what sells. I'm guessing Horikoshi is trying to hammer down world rules so that he can keep the editors/audience happy with fighting while still having consequences like the above.

Fabricated posted:I'd think this is more of a "friendly rivalry" thing if it wasn't over their provisional license. It's not like they'd be shut out forever but I really, really can't understand making people who're supposed to basically be public servants gently caress eachother over. Heroes seem to be somewhat privatized so much of this process makes sense from the perspective that each potential hero is also managing a personal brand and their patron schools have an interest in encouraging this, if their students do well, they, presumably attract investment and other students into their school. For UA they have a really drat good reason as Eraserhead says in tolerating them being targets from the get go, it makes their graduates better prepared for life and death situations. For the other schools I think this is just the best way to whittle down most of the applicants so only the best in a plethora attributes get it; it happens to have some negative side effects in making Heroes hypercompetitive and it seems like that's the case as we see with All Might and Todoroki's dad. It's interesting because it retrospect and makes the insanity of Todoroki's upbringing a natural consequence of the above.

Vengarr posted:The police are contracting out most of their responsibilities to the heroes. That's why a hero like Endeavor can put down a bunch of bad guys, but he still needs someone in blue to actually arrest them. The police don't want to admit they're useless, so they use the heroes as tools while still maintaining the illusion of societal control and authority. Rather than doing the obvious thing and co-opting the heroes into some sort of Self-Defense Force acting under the authority of the government, the state is holding them at arms length. Intentionally making it so that only 5% of applicants will be accepted makes perfect sense in this context. The government wants to keep the total number of heroes to a manageable level because they are afraid of them. Heroes also want to keep the total number of heroes as low as possible to inflate their own prices--remember, they're being paid on commission, not a flat salary.

Plus the snooze dude even mentions that Stain has caused some uproar about the hero-prolific community. Reducing numbers this drastically is backlash from that.

I might have misread the chapter, but impression I got was that there only being a 5% success rate was a new thing. Like poo poo went down recently so they don't want too many newbies going around doing stuff.

This year they're making it official that only 5% will pass.

They're sticky, the first one would adhere to the buttocks and block the rest of them from entering the anus. You wouldn't be able to insert them without shredding the flesh around the sphincter and covering the beads with them, which might be a good special attack but isn't particularly heroic.

Rhonne posted:What about the other two? I really like the All Might fanboy. All Might fanboy is "親切な男 -- 親切マン", or "A Kind Man -- Gentle Man". He just wants to use his Quirk to help people out. The guy with the knuckle dusters is "鉄拳制裁オヤジ -- ナックルダスター". "Old man who punishes with punches -- Knuckle Duster". His deal is that even small crooks are villains that need to be punished, presumably via beatings. 鉄拳制裁 literally means a punishment beating, not sure how to make that sound snappier.
