i also feel like he should get some leeway since like every non naruto ninja has done some awful poo poo(which was the whole point, naruto ended the cycle of everyone trying to punish people for past crimes and poo poo)
Orochimaru's main hobby was dissecting children

I imagine Shigaraki is going to get "redeemed" in that he'll realize the error of his ways. He'll still likely go to prison though. Or die possibly- that's usually the copout for making it less gross to forgive mass murderers.

Like any ending where Shigaraki is defeated without ever realizing the whole truth of his existence and regretting his actions and being "saved" seems a bit too bittersweet for the overlying narrative Horikoshi is setting up. Midoriya is gonna be the better All Might- who doesn't just save people's lives, but their "hearts" too like Nana mentions.

What if they got the death penalty, died, then got resurrected? They served their sentence.

"Served their sentence", bullshit. Honestly, I have never held that the death sentence has ever held any kind of sway.

The kind of person that lives a life committing crimes warranting the death penalty faces every day with the possibility of execution, except instead of being wheeled into a sterile room with injections, they probably involve bleeding out from being shot or stabbed in a back alley somewhere, or laying in a shallow grave out in the woods, without that complicated due process thing. Death row is just a nice little relaxation period where they don't have to watch their backs quite as diligently, because the authorities aren't going to kill a man before sentence is passed, before going to sleep for the last time.

And then _they get resurrected_? We should be so glad that we can't resurrect people in real life. In anime, that idea's even worse.

Midoriya not being able to save Shigaraki and being haunted by it would be good if this was more of a seinen audience kinda thing.

I dunno if the series will ever actually do the "You can't save everybody" thing in the meaning that at some point you'll fail to save somebody rather than what All Might said about how he can't be everywhere at once.

Like honestly, I bet money we'll never see Bakugou lose a fight in the entire series run because of his "guy that never ever loses" shtick. He even had a convenient out for not facing Mirio in a spar because his narrative means that he won't even lose sparring matches. He only gets his rear end kicked by All Might, which I imagine he tolerates.

On a technicality. And this was before his views on what makes a hero were declared.

Basically kinda like Zoro declaring heel never lose again after being defeated by Hawkeyes.

No, Deku dodged his attack and countered. If he'd been aiming for Bakugou instead of the pillar, he would have been crushed. That's why his meltdown page had him saying "Even though we were fighting seriously, I lost to Deku."

He already had his idea of what being a hero entails, that's why he melted down so completely.

this latest chapter was pretty loving seinen in some ways, both visually and thematically, tbh

MHA has been pretty "smart" for a shonen series. Sure it's got some of the tropes but it also analyzes things in a much more mature way a lot of the time.

And then other times you've just got sticky ballsface being a perv to bring the cerebralness down a few notches again

It kind reminds me of HxH in a way, particularly with the latest chapter suddenly ratcheting up the horror and gore a few notches. I have a feeling it's not going to go quite as serious/dark though.

Me neither but it's some contest winner. I'm wondering if it was just a random chance or they decided it was the best of the submissions.

On first read I assumed that All Might saying that he'd "broken up" with Night Eye was a casual reveal that he was gay and spent the rest of my chapter read stunned, but on reread I realized no, it was the mostly platonic superhero type of breakup
