In terms of 'holy crap this attack he's yelling sounds awesome' G Gundam actually kind of goes backwards. Burning Finger's callout is the weakest of sauces compared to 'MY LOVE MY ANGER AND ALL OF MY SORROW!'

Even the normal callout is better. 'This Hand of Mine Glows with an AWESOME POWER' compared to 'this hand of mine is burning red.'

To be fair, he only does the full "emotions" callout a couple of times, other than that it's just the awesome power -> defeat you lead up. In terms of the basic two-line call outs though, I think they're balanced. Awesome Power definitely trumps Burning Red, but on the other hand I think "Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory!" soundly beats "Its burning grip tells me to defeat you!"

Also the dub is wonderful but only for incredibly cheesy and over the top everything is. It's not gonna win acting awards, but they give 120%, especially Domon and Master Asia. But Chibodee Crocket, the AMERICAN, having "America The Beautiful" as his mother's lullaby is a close second.

Those are my opinions on G Gundam, My Hero Academia thread.

The fact that it leaves a perfect heart shaped hole has always been my favorite thing about that attack.

Now we need a female character in MHA who can shoot some type of beam, so Bakugou can fall in love with her and make this their ultimate combination attack.

It was mostly a joke about the post of pairing Bakugou with a beam-shooter. Honestly, those two might be the worst possible class pairing, given their respective attitudes and tastes regarding... Everything.

On a tangent, I literally could not remember Aoyama's real name, hence me using the hero names in the above shipping joke. Poor guy.

"Can't Stop Twinkling" is pretty memorable, at least.

Also All Might may have romantic feelings but as part of his duty as the Symbol of Peace he would never enter a romantic relationship as it would affect the image he is trying to project. (Though now that that's over, who knows. Well, he still probably won't, really. The whole dying thing, among others, puts a damper on that.)

He feels like he's gonna be, if you'll pardon the term, the glue that holds a team together when he goes pro. He's not exciting or super combat-focused, but both he and his powers are reliable, which will make him a sort of force multiplier.

I do love how useful he's been in all the teamwork sections. There's a proverb, something like a chopstick on its own is weak but unbreakable when bound together with many. He's like twine holding them together and making them all stronger than they could be on their own. I hope we see more of that in the future, though he is still great as a gag and when paired with Mineta.

Plain old Sero gets one of the best costumes among the group really.

Also tons of people want All Might to hook up with Midoriya's mom which I find kinda creepy honestly even if they elaborate on Midoriya's dad past the recent Omake and explain they're separated or something.

Midoriya's dad being absent but still married to Inko is kinda weird- I hope it's not the basis for a plot twist later. If you wanted to have Midoriya's only parent figure be his mom you could've just made her divorced- it's not like it's that uncommon.

Between the costume (which he would've submitted the overall design for) and how tastefully his room was decorated, I feel like one of Sero's character traits is that he's got a very strong sense for good visuals.

Eh, reveals like that generally only make sense if the main character is special in some way or part of some greater plan. Midoriya really was a regular dude who managed to catch All Might's attention by chance, so there's no real excuse other than "a really crazy coincidence" for his dad being All for One.

While it makes no sense, I always got a chuckle out of the "His dad is totally Endeavor" because of the "husband breathes a little fire now and then" line. That said, it would make no thematic sense or anything. Makes more sense if Deku's dad is just like, some dude that's not at all important. Most relevance they could get out of him is if he has a sad backstory of having wanting to be a hero, failed at it and became a salaryman. Maybe the guy from the Oneshot? haha.

I think they said All For One and One For All originated about 100 years ago. Which is 8(?) generations of One For All. With all the regen and healing quirks All For One had, 100 years isn't a stretch for survival. He didn't get trashed until a couple years ago when he and All Might almost killed each other.

his mom says what dekudad's quirk is and hasn't all for one seen deku? he never said anything about him or even seemed to really care about him personally. it'd be completely out of nowhere if they had some personal connection; there's been no foreshadowing for that at all
