Tetsutetsu reminds me of my favorite scene where A Guy With A Pistol proved a nearly insurmountable obstacle for some of the top heroes in training in the country. I feel like it's best for a series like this to just assume that everyone in the country has a gentlemen's agreement to not use guns, because they can easily defeat like 99% of quirks. Like what is Endeavor gonna do if a dude just shoots him?

I can't imagine it's easy to get a gun in future superhero Japan.

It's not regret, it's mild confusion. She just made a device she hasn't found a purpose for yet.

even putting aside the possible wide variety of invincible smuggling quirks, yaoyorozu has a quirk that can straight up just produce them on demand, so if anyone out there has a quirk similar to hers...

^^^ Ah yeah I forgot about that. I assume the guy had some sort of gun/aiming related quirk, though even a normal person could probably defeat Shigaraki if they were at a reasonable range.

Burn so hot that the heat haze throws off their aim too much to hit him.

I dunno the dude is a pretty big target. Unless he can literally melt the bullets before they reach him, in which case he's getting into Marvel/DC superhero territory.

(From the hero side I understand them not using guns, since they don't want to straight-up kill the villains (though it makes sense to keep some around in case of All for One type situations), but it seems like the Villain Alliance(tm) would be able to acquire some somehow.)

The reason there's not a lot of guns in MHA are Japan and the fact it'd get kinda boring if every badguy had the idea to be packing in addition to their quirk.

I mean, it'd make a lot of sense all the same but whatever.

Also I hope they don't hype these third-years too much. I don't really care if they're supposed to be hot poo poo at UA because they're going to be talking to literally the next-in-line for the greatest living hero. They ALREADY ain't poo poo. And if they're stronger than the faculty that'd be kinda stupid really.

I hope they're just put forward more as mentor-type figures that give legit useful advice or something- and aren't made out to be some golden gods compared to the first-years or somehow an obstacle to overcome. Basically I hope they aren't like the worst part of Shokugeki no Souma- the Elite 10.

Wait, does MHA take place in the future? I always assumed it was alternate history present day.

Edit: I'm surprised no one's mentioned it yet, but "The Big Three" is what people call Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman.

I believe the deal is that it's the future, but the appearance of quirks kind of halted societal progress while everyone adjusted, so it's functionally still like the present.

See, I thought that quirks started appearing X years ago, and the technological advances are just the result of a world with crazy quirks.

There's a throwaway line mentioning that if not for the super powers messing society up, it's likely they would have been technologically advanced enough to have space colonies.

So, picking out a few details here: That belt buckle on Vault-Mite, and Brooding.

Brooding's looks like something Kamen Rider would wear, but scaled down.

And I'm not sure what to think of Vault-Mite's, but it probably has to do with punching poo poo really hard, if the arm scars are any indication.

Don't think it's a reference to a specific character in her case. Just a standard shinigami outfit from Bleach.

I wouldn't bother, frankly. They're real bad and most references to them are very shallow surface-level stuff.
