DrSunshine posted:If shapeshifting is Toga's power, then what was Camie's power? Can Toga impersonate quirks as well as appearance? I feel like if that's possible, then it's almost certainly the kind of thing that would require frequent, extremely unhealthy amounts of blood. So if we see Camie anemic as hell or a drained husk, that's a point to this idea.

This chapter was really good, but I think I was most surprised by the reveal that Toga isn't a bumbling buffoon that only got away with her serial killing spree through sheer luck

Well we know that Toga murders people by draining their blood. Though apparently before she got that device she used in the training camp attack, she just sucked it out with her mouth.

If Horikoshi doesn't have Toga murder Dekumom while disguised as Deku for some primo motivation, he's missing a trick.

Horikoshi doesn't seem to really do overly dark stuff. At least on screen or in current time. I doubt we'll even see how Nana really died and she's well, dead already. Toga should try to get close to All Might as Midoriya to kill him but we're almost certainly going to get her causing friction between Midoriya and Uraraka so we can get our bog-standard cat fight over the shounen MC.

Last Celebration posted:This chapter was really good, but I think I was most surprised by the reveal that Toga isn't a bumbling buffoon that only got away with her serial killing spree through sheer luck Well, she was recommended to the VA by one of the best guys in the business and all. Fabricated posted:Horikoshi doesn't seem to really do overly dark stuff. At least on screen or in current time. Nah, if she were planning on something like that she wouldn't be calling Shigaraki to report the good news. Like I said before, he'd probably flip out if he learned that was her plan; while we might get that from it as well, it's definitely not going to be the goal or anything. Unless she does that first and gets caught before the "real" goals of her change, she's probably not doing that, or is doing that after she does other things (which might be how Deku's name gets cleared, when she's caught after that, actually). I mean, I could be wrong here, but both in-universe and from a meta perspective it seems like this huge twist would be a waste if all it did was provide brief romantic tension or whatever. That said, yeah, we're probably not getting too dark; even All For One didn't bring about a major tonal shift like that, at least for the series as a whole (it looked like he was doing that but then it turned out no one died and all ). Which makes me wonder what the goal is. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Nov 3, 2016 |

So two of the strongest students in the class failed and there's a very good chance Deku will end up getting falsely accused of a crime and detained for a while. I expect a big part of the next story arc to be about the rest of the class learning to fight crime on their own without the three strongest students having their back. At least they still have Iida.

Actually, that reminds me, I was wondering why Bakugou was listed as one of their "top two" in this chapter. In most metrics we've seen it was always Yaoyorozu who was on top or in second, and while I can buy the explanation that Bakugou's meant to be one of the top two in fighting or something, that's not what this test was about. What suddenly inflated his estimation here? Outside of winning the tournament or scoring highest on the entrance exams (that Todoroki and Yaoyorozu didn't have to take) he's generally been third or worse, as I recall. Is there something I'm forgetting here?

He and Todoroki are the best in straight-up fights. Which they acknowledge in-series is considered the most important thing for heroes.

They were the #s 1 and 2 spot of the UA tournament, and since there is an unhealthy obsession in this culture with raw fighting prowess, that's all that matters to a disappointingly large number of people.

That's the thing, though, this last test was about being able to do things other than fighting, with Gang Orca showing up more or less to provide the people who were good mostly/only a fighting a way to participate basically. I mean, that's not the in-story reason for his attack but that's basically what it was, and him not showing up is about the only way this test could have been worse for Bakugou, outside of it maybe having an interview portion or something. He's number two (or arguably number one, though honestly the main thing keeping Tokoyami from being the best fighter is that Bakugou and Todoroki hard counter his otherwise absurd power) in a thing that did not matter here. This last test was about doing things other than fighting, and the fighter lost. That's... Not really surprising.

Bakugou is one of the best fighters in UA. He's also intelligent, perceptive, a shockingly good judge of character, and great at thinking on his feet and prioritizing targets for both combat and defensive missions, as his behavior in the exam showed. But he's also a complete rear end in a top hat and probably got so many points docked for conduct that he dropped off the map anyway.

Those people were meant to waylay them and divert time from assisting more severely wounded "victims" but he assessed the actual nature of their injuries at a glance. But what would one do with this information? The Heroic Way: Offer reassurance and ask that the victims find a safe place to hide, promising to return as soon as possible to evacuate them. The Bakugou Way:

What Toga says in the last panel sounds kind of ominous. Also, is her wanted to learn more about Deku so she can impersonate him?  One of those two is going to get replaced by Toga.

I think she wants to know more about Deku because she wants to do terrible things while cosplaying as him, and also because she's genuinely interested in him.

Yeah, back at the camp, after her rambling about wanting to become boys you like and whatnot to Uraraka, she got blushy looking at Deku after he showed up to save the girls, then fled. She's got a creepy crush on him.

She's got a creepy crush on him. To be exact she got a creepy crush on him because of her creepy blood fetish. As she states the reason she was attracted to Stain and wanted to be like him is because when he appeared in the video he was a bloody mess and nothing is more attractive then people in that state. (In fact it just makes her want to chop them up and make them even more bloody.) Deku after his fight with Muscular was a bloody mess so she was attracted to him. Though Toga getting blushy is not a rare thing. As she is blushing pretty much all the time.

I always just kinda assumed Toga had a crush on Deku, because Stain saving him was caught on tape. And since she's a huge Stain fangirl she thought that made him pretty cool.
