Actually, I think you'll find that his self-sacrifice and struggle against his own fears and insecurities make him even more genuine

This is pretty much the opposite of egotistical though?-

It's cool to see.

If All Might had been an edgy bishie guy like the editors wanted it would've sucked like half the charm out of the series. The dude being genuine, bombastic, and weird really sells it. I kinda wish we would have gotten to see him teaching in muscle form because of the act he put on in that form to make people feel at ease. "I'M COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Tsuyu has a really cute design, memorable personality, and so far hasn't been relegated to jobber side-character status.

It's very funny to me that in Todoroki's character page Horikoshi says he gets frostbite if he uses his right side for too long and suggests something bad will happen if he uses his left side for too long. Then just turns out Todoroki's facial scarring is from his mam belting him with a boiling kettle. e: Also why is Ida the portrait on the spine of Volume 5 when Todoroki is front and centre on the cover and vice versa with Volume 6.

For sure! It's just funny in this case considering the cover art for each one! I think the baddie on the cover for Volume 6 looks like the swordsman teased at the end of the anime and I think he will be the person who stabbed All Might. To be more exact I think All Might's would looks like a stab wound. I'll be caught up soon!

It wouldn't be at all surprising if he could overheat from overuse of the fire half but he just hasn't. Pretty much every quirk that's theoretically overpowered has a drawback like Sparky's short circuiting and All Might's dwindling power before he lost it.

honestly, this isn't my all time favorite anime / manga, but its pretty excellent. They have a lot of characters and they do a good job of making you invested in them, which is a pretty tough thing to do. The only other show I am as invested in the characters in is probably Gintama

I think the idea is that if he learns to master both sides, he can counteract the disadvantages of overusing either one. That's the stated reason that Endeavour wanted an icy-hot child, so they could be better than him and surpass All Might.

In a lesser Manga All Might would have appeared as this super awesome guy, but deep down been a selfish prick obsessed with money and fame, and would have been a cheap way to mock Western Superheroes. The fact that he's super genuine despite all his fears makes him even more heroic, and the fact that he has positive response is even better. When I first started reading this, I was convinced All Might was going to be a jerk, but I was pleasantly surprised. Even the "I'm only doing this for the fame" character Mt. Lady got to be a genuine hero as well. Which is an added bonus  I like this Manga. It is cool and good.

even endeavor, who's an rear end in a top hat and a prime example of what stain is talking about, is shown to at least care about saving people in the most efficient way possible (even if it's just to stroke his own ego). the hero side of things is pretty nuanced for a shonen manga - there's people who sincerely believe in justice, people who just do the best they can and view it as a job like any other, and people who see it as an easy way to get famous but are still willing to put their lives on the line for others.

And this is also reflected in how our three big boys were all inspired to become heroes by All Might, all for different but equally valid reasons.

Fabricated posted:In All Might's Omake page he talks about how his editors and contemporaries complained about his design and asked if he couldn't be made "more handsome/attractive"- and basically this made him want to design him like that even more. "he looks like a jolly old man." That comment apparently just made it easier and more fun to draw AM

All Might was my first exposure to MHA and I had the same worries as everyone else, that he wouldn't be genuine, that he'd be The Mentor who dies at the appropriate point because he's The Mentor, and all of these were proven wrong. Before long All Might made me believe in him.

Probably one of thee cases where fans wildly exaggerate some anecdote like with the guy who made Broly commenting on Beerus.

It's great that the manga acknowledged the whole "the mentor must die" thing and made it part of the actual story and conflict between A4O and O4A.

Nah, Todoroki is actually pretty ridiculous because he can simply cool off after using his fire by using his ice (or vice versa). His powers actually are completely overpowered, which is why Endeavor became so obsessed with making him surpass All Might.

Yeah, but he's only ever used fire to defrost people before the school festival, so he himself can't use the powers in sync perfectly yet, which is kind of a flaw even if it's one that can be overcome.

Bakugou figured it out. This'll either be his turning point or he's about to crash and burn super hard emotionally.
