Kanos posted:The Dragonball cast don't give a poo poo about law and order and the only thing required to get off their poo poo list is "don't try to kill us or genocide/explode our planet anymore, okay?". My Hero Academia is pretty concerned with the rule of law and order to the point where people need to get licenses to use the powers they are naturally born with in the open without committing a crime. I don't think rehabilitating a crazed murderer who drinks peoples' blood to get close to her victims is something that would happen in the time scale of the story, like I don't think they're going to catch Toga and give her a speech and then two weeks are going to pass and she'll show up in Class A in a UA uniform. They should though

Manatee Cannon posted:I could see toga getting captured by the good guys here, either intentionally or not. I don't think they know she's the one that can mimic people yet so it'd let her infiltrate them. plus she's the same age as the heroes and shonen loves rehabilitating people, so I could see it going that way too I really hope not. "Female villain getting redeemed because she wants the hero's dick" is such a tired cliche.

that's true but mha's been really good at taking stuff that's been done before and doing it better, so I'd be down with giving it a chance. it's not necessarily gonna happen at all tho

But severed and covered in blood, while she takes his form. Until of course she finds someone else she would love to see decorated with their own gore, as she becomes them

RareAcumen posted:Android 18 and Megatron 18 didn't kill, like, anyone though, at least in the current timeline, as far as I can recall. Even if she did, Vegeta likely killed more in his fight with her alone. And 17 just killed Gero, which, good. (They wanted to kill Goku, yes, but, so did Vegeta and arguably Piccolo. They're not unique there.)

The real problem with "they'll beat Toga and then she'll become Their Friend because shonen" isn't that she's a murderer. It's that this series pretty clearly doesn't do that at all. Consider the sheer number of characters that have been beaten in some way and how exactly zero of them have been reformed in any way as a result of that. The closest you could argue is Todoroki after the sports festival, and even that's kind of a stretch.

Hell, Bulma just straight up shot Goku in the head. She didn't know he'd survive, she just unloaded at a loving twelve year old like a white cop in DC.

You can't really use Dragon Ball to justify any particular bad guy turning good, because a whole bunch of villains in Dragon Ball eventually became a good guy to help fight a greater threat. Tien, Piccolo, Vegeta, 18, Buu, a bunch of minor villains who help for one fight then go away... its a story telling trope Toriyama really really likes. If any of the Villains Alliance were to switch sides, though, my money's on Twice. The dude has some very believable problems and really just needs a good therapist. Also, Twice himself hasn't done anything wrong, he's just helped facilitate a lot of other people doing wrong, so at worst he's only an accomplice. Like I can't imagine him joining the main cast or anything, but having Twice jump in to save somebody's neck or clone a hero to do something seems really probable, ending with him getting some light jail time and some therapy.

Protodude posted:Don't worry, we'll eventually see more of those fights as filler in the inevitable anime. I Love Annie May posted:When this manga will get an anime adaptation, you'll have all the fights you want. Each single fight will also be a 5 episodes long filler arc where in each episode there'll be 19 minutes of recycled animation and in the remaining time we'll get anime original character that are mostly the animator's rejected sketches for his ecchi harem comedy set in a kindergarten, and the only thing those characters will say will be "He's using that technique!" "Not that technique!" "That technique?" "If he uses that technique then..." And when it will use that technique the animation will be so terrible it will make Naruto look like Akira. referencing Chapter 35, during the Tournament Arc. I just finished watching the anime, without having read the manga, then I flipped back through some pages of the manga. I think the whole story has been incredible, and it looks like the author created all this content really fast. In defiance of expectations, the anime extrapolated the fight between Momo and Fumikaga into something logical that showed her being pushed out of the ring, and all the shorter matches only lasted 5-10 minutes. The anime has been cutting some content from the manga, like chapter 44. There are so many great characters who are really well-developed and all with great designs, even down to the minor ones like Best Jeanist galenanorth fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Jul 21, 2017 |

Yeah Twice feels more like a person that was failed by a society that couldn't help him when he decided to abuse his quirk and now his option is to put his chips in with people that operate outside of it illegally (also he is unhinged) than someone that is actually interested in promoting a real evil agenda.

Green Intern posted:So speaking of Toga, is that one goopy shapeshifter from the licensing battle royale dead or what? I wonder if shapeshifting was even her power. It didn't seem like any of her classmates were around when she was loving with Deku to say otherwise. Couldn't it be possible Toga just made it seem like shape shifting was her quirk? Also yeah I would think she's totally dead since Toga is involved but I hope not.

Her stealth ablites were all Toga as well. But according to her classmates she had been acting a bit odd for three days at that point. So Toga replaced her at least 3 days before the exam had happened. And yeah she is probably dead.

The way Overhaul's quirk is drawn this week reminds me of alchemy from FMA, which is terrifying in the context of someone who is the only person with that power, who is a murderous criminal, who uses it on humans without hesitation.

What's really cool about Overhaul is that even without his Quirk his hand to hand abilities are super impressive if he dodged Rappa's punches and got close enough to put hands on him.

Toga copies Uraraka, twice clones her. MHA turns into a harem anime, Deku gets a nosebleed.

Eej posted:Who said anything about race? It's about culture. Vengarr posted:The police are contracting out most of their responsibilities to the heroes. That's why a hero like Endeavor can put down a bunch of bad guys, but he still needs someone in blue to actually arrest them. The police don't want to admit they're useless, so they use the heroes as tools while still maintaining the illusion of societal control and authority. Rather than doing the obvious thing and co-opting the heroes into some sort of Self-Defense Force acting under the authority of the government, the state is holding them at arms length. This is all the way back from page 88 of this thread about Chapter 55, but it's very common in the US at least for corporations to have a Russian nesting doll structure of independent contractors so that one of them can take all the heat and go under, then they reconfigure. Sometimes governments have been accused of doing it to avoid penalty, too (e.g. military contractors). The phrase that comes to mind is "plausible deniability", and NPR uses the word "adhocracy" to describe it as applied to Russia galenanorth fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Jul 22, 2017 |
