The One True Oden

It makes a lot of sense that in a world of super powers, there's a good market for literal professional victims. That kid should really save his critiques for the end though. In a real scenario, you're not gonna get advice on rescue etiquette in the moment.

Christ, what an asshole.
I like that there's more to getting a professional hero license than punch bad guy real good. There's a lot of thought that's gone into the worldbuilding, one of the draws to this series.

I was guessing that Wind Dude hated Todoroki cause he was threatened by Endeavor into giving up his spot for UA so Todoroki could get in, but I'm no longer sure if that's the case after this chapter, since he seems to be implying that they met before.

I get the feeling that Wind Dude turned down UA when he realized that Endeavor's Kid was going to be there. It seems to be focused much more on Endeavor than Todoroki.

I mean, it's pretty easy to hate Endeavor for being Endeavor alone... and it's not like he knows anything about Todoroki personally...

basically, screw Endeavor.

Todoroki got in on recommendation, which is basically the elite of the elite. Endeavor probably pulled some strings but Todoroki wasn't scrabbling for a spot, especially given his insane level of power and aptitude for a kid.

The point was that Wind Dude was also on recommendation on the same year as Torodoki.

Yeah, wind power dudes mostly tend to be fast dudes with blasts of wind or cutting winds.

You should watch Tiger and Bunny if you have not. My friend Sky High has wind powers.

Am I a bad person if I couldn't get over all of the logos in Tiger and Bunny? I actually liked the first few episodes I saw, and I like the character designs, but all of the logos messed with my head somehow. It made the designs too busy or something?

Also, the blonde main character dude seemed like such a douche.

yeah you are

you should probably go back and watch it again because he's got reasons

also the logos are all over them because they are literally corporate superheroes. They are NASCAR cars in human form. View it that way and go back in.

I get the whole NASCAR thing, but it looks too busy. Makes it hard to focus on the action. I'll probably give it another shot, though. Not like there's anything else to watch once Mob is done for the season, besides JoJo.

I haven't seen many many shonen delve into the psychology of young love like this. For so many works, you see the lead female portrayed as tsundere and for the relationship to be in a "will they or won't they" stasis until it is abruptly resolved, often near the series finale. It's interesting to see something different and authentic.

All is for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds
Two things I don't want to see regarding Ochako:

1. She starts to confess to Deku, something/someone explodes, thirty chapters of Deku going "I wonder what that was all about?" while Ochako screws up her courage to try again.

2. Ochako's emotional distress is because she's the fabled agent, selling secrets to the villains for money to help her parents. But in the end her love for Deku sparks her redemption.

If either of these things happen, :argh:

Either that or it's the Oriheme style where they are pretty much non-entities.

I'm also really enjoying this subplot. It's another one of the many examples of this manga's fantastic characterization.

It's cute and all but I hope Uraraka gets some focus soon which isn't all about her relationship with Deku. Like, it's interesting and all that her crush on Deku and her admiration of him kinda conflict and mess with each other, but I don't want that to be her main deal. This seems like the perfect task to give her some screentime though. She wanted to be a rescue hero in the first place from what I remember.

This might be signalling an upcoming Uraraka focus, about her as a hero, what she wants to do, and how she grows in the context of dealing with her feelings (which is a good thing, I think).

I know at least two EMT Instructors who have trained their kids to be perfect training victims. It's really effective.

Neat! Money will be rolling in for me in the coming months so I'll definitely catch up soon. It's fairly standard shonen but the designs and characterisation of the ensemble cast is much better than its contemporaries also I wish All Might was my dad.
