Petiso posted:I have to say that besides Kirishima's flashback I'm not liking this arc at all. In fact, I read the last two chapters yesterday because I forgot to read last week's one. I usually compare MHA with the best era of Naruto but these last fights reminded me of the worst era of Bleach, with a bunch of numbered uninteresting villains out from nowhere filling chapters at a glacial pace mostly filled with explanations about their powers and motivational flashbacks.

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop for this arc honestly. I like the boss-rush concept plenty but this arc was also marred with some short chapters and a couple weeks of hiatus so it just feels like it's spinning its wheels. My beef is less Overhaul and crew (I think they're good- they're a different deal from Shiggy's scrappy self-motivated rebels) and the current setup so much as the upperclassmen. I really didn't think we needed The Big 3. Like, really didn't need them. Honestly- I unironically hope they're here to have hideously awful poo poo happen to them in lieu of us losing a main cast member. I'm leaning towards believing that's the deal because the students themselves haven't taken any permanently affecting damage. The adults have cleaned up after them pretty much every time and taken the brunt of the serious damage (Aizawa and 13, All Might). The Big 3 being so hyped up and failing in some way would be an appropriate reality check for the students themselves- or at least a way to contrast the 1-A/1-B crew against them as being something different. The Big 3 are sort of the world between the fledgling students and the seasoned pros, and while their potential as fighters is viewed as better than Pro-Tier we haven't seen their real mettle as far as their attitude/mental toughness/morals go. I think part of this arc HAS to he Nighteye's evaluation of Mirio being shallow and it being proven without a doubt that Midoriya is the superior successor candidate.

Yea I actually admit I didn't get what the point of the big three was (other than Mirio because he was the original candidate and all) but also I genuinely like suneater a lot in powers and personality.

If Horikoshi wants to give the kids a "reality check" it'd be lame if he does it by injuring or killing a character just introduced in this arc. And anyway like the series has done all that a couple of times already anyway. Bakugou got kidnapped and Deku couldn't save him, the fight with AFO was like a whole thing that he was too much for most heroes to stand up to and the kids were less than useless against him. I don't think the characters are taking things too lightly. Like, I think introducing the big 3 this arc at least maybe had some problems. Lots of new things and characters were introduced this arc and are contributing to some pacing woes. Suneater isn't even the most important of the Big 3 but he got 3 chapters to explore his motivations, personality and goals. And I didn't mind that, he seems like a cool dude, but that's still a decent amount of time spent on the guy. But I don't think introducing them to gently caress em over or whatever is going to fix that. Anyway, this arc is still alright and better than the provisional license exam.

I don't really see the issue with introducing additional characters on the hero side to gently caress them up to further the main cast. That's literally what Overhaul is to Shiggy- another stepping stone to learn from.

Overhaul is cool because he had that one moment where he just blew that one dude the gently caress up, just literally exploded him. I can't wait to see him in an actual fight.

I think Overhaul is potentially cool and has a horrifying/awesome quirk, but I can't stand his cast of random Double Dragon stage bosses that have been introduced to fight everyone. The easiest way to make me not give a poo poo about a fight is have one of the fighters loudly proclaim about how he's garbage and totally expendable and actually mean it. Even the Noumus, who are barely sapient bioweapons who don't communicate at all, felt like their loss in battle actually mattered because creating them represented a significant amount of effort in collecting quirks from AfO(and now they're irreplaceable because AfO is out of the game for now). I literally can't remember the names of the Overhaul goons who are being fought and I just reread the last two fights yesterday.

Anyway, MHA's been a solid Drakengard gameplay for five arcs so hopefully we pick back up to its normal Aladdin 2 levels soon.

Blockhouse posted:I could not loving tell you what mental hurdle kirishima just overcame that he hadn't already overcome before He confronted his self-doubt about whether he would be able to act and protect someone when hurt and scared of a big scary villain that could easily kick his rear end. As was explained in a 2 chapter flashback immediately after he faced that hurdle. I don't think this arc is about that though, beyond the fact that fights often serve to to explore characters and give development.
