Also Orochimaru got away with basically everything he ever did over the course of the series.

orochimaru didn't have a redemption arc like vegeta did tho. there's never anything there to make you sympathize with him. they just bring him back to life near the end and he's like "eh gently caress it" and helps out

The worst part about Orochimaru was how far above the other two Sannin he was. That was just embarrassing.

IIRC the other two were (a) Old. (b) Not constantly hungering for more personal power drat the cost in human suffering.

Wasn't Orochimaru's greatest contribution to the finale basically reviving other people to help finish the job or something?

Yeah, Orochimaru helped them resurrect the first and second hokage by summoning the god of death and making it cut its stomach open. They'd been trapped in there since he first resurrected them back the invasion arc.

You know, I never noticed until now but it kind of looks like his mouth had been sewn shut at one point :shrug: or maybe I''m looking too much into his hosed up lips, who knows.

The way UA's dumb gate worked is that it slammed down in individual sections, like the I-blocks in Tetris for some reason. Shiggy disintegrated most of those sections while leaving a few intact.

nah he destroyed a big hole in it leaving like half the I-blocks on each end half intact

The center blocks are totally disintegrated while the ones on the end are only damaged where they met with the other blocks.

That's a well-written mini-essay. Makes me interested to see what's in store for Ochako's character arc; seems like there's more going on than the standard romantic subplot.

My Hero Academia is good manga.

yea I trust it to be more interesting than that. I think what mha does better than most is how it treats its supporting cast

they get to steal the spotlight a lot. it's not just the main guy winning all the big fights every time

20% could clean out the current Villain Alliance, sure, but the world is explicitly becoming a more dangerous and lawless place.

Yeah, even 8% looks like it would wreck Bakugou (or at least push him to his limits) if he were using it constantly, since he could barely respond to it. And Bakugou is pretty much tied for the strongest person in their class (though obviously certain abilities could be useful against specific enemies).

No, One for One is just the power of Being a Regular Quirkless Dude. Deku will lose his powers and will then defeat the final boss by shooting him with a handgun.

They're almost certainly building towards a big finale where Deku uses 110% power. They have been since the All Might vs Nomu fight, and every All Might fight since has only reinforced that theme.

That feels like a very pedantic complaint, especially since with MHA in particular, it's more of a "push past your preconceived notions of your limits" thing.
