Just remember that the picture with the strawhat, robes, and such is an edit. They're much differently dressed in the actual panel.

GOing to need some proof on this one.

Well, do you actually read this comic?
E: because of memory serves, the official release should be up soon.

The fact that you can easily look it up aside, it's really really obvious that's an edit (lots of parts look strange and clearly edited in).

Also, "the Big Three" is exclusively a Western term for those series, and it'd be weird for Horikoshi to reference it.

An infamously westaboo mangaka, reference a term used in the west? Unlikely.

By "west" he means "foreign" because there's evidence that similar distinctions are used in China and Korea too, though how much of that is them picking up on western fandom terminology is up for grabs.

It's most likely either not a reference or a reference to the so-named group from western superhero comics, the manga's specific inspiration. I have no idea why this term from overseas Jump readers has become a fixation.

e: do we even know if it's 'biggu tsurii' or a Japanese term?

Oh it's pretty obviously a reference to western superheroes, I just think the photoshop joke was funny and people trying to tear it down out of sheer pedantry is, to put mildly, tiresome.

And when I think something's too pedantic, then something has clearly gone wrong.

I wonder if we're going to see some more fallout from the big fight between our two special boys. Wall Tin-Tin there only recognized him from news about him getting into the fight, and the other class was also talking about it. Could be interesting in teaching them both a lesson about how reputations will really make things easier/harder for them as heroes.

One Piece (the manga at least) is amazing. It's the only thing I read in WSJ outside of BnHA. It's definitely in a tier all its own.

College Slice
Principal: What will we do with Bakugou, the driven young man frustrated by his classmate's inability to challenge him in a fight and boiling over with anger?

Eraserhead: Whatever we do, let's make sure he misses out on the fight with the strongest guy in the school. We wouldn't want him to learn anything or work off his energy.

Every time he speaks up he looks like he's on the verge of a complete breakdown, and I think that's what sells him to me. Mineta is "desperate teenager" cranked up to infinity, and I can't help but laugh.

Density would mean floating or being really heavy and sinking, so no.

But :stare: Mina's horns move. Are they antenna?
