My uncle works for The Author and he told me that there are secret phrases in each chapter that only have their true meaning if you translate them into English and do it the correct way which is only known to a specific fan group.

yeah well if you enter the konami code on the jump web reader you unlock the secret meaning.

Oh my God why does it loving matter if someone erroneously says a character is gay? Why do you care so much?

I majored in anime idol shipping, but I did minors in 4-koma shipping, which is a surprisingly lucrative field, and shounen manga shipping, which is over-saturated and won't help you find a job in the current market.

My best friend specialized in Homestuck shipping and he's dead now.

*One single character might be some shade of gay* PFFT get a load of these TUMBLR FANDOMS. what's next?????
I unironically think it'd be cool if Kirishima turned out gay but this is Weekly Shounen Jump so it's 99% never happening, and it's not very clear if Horikoshi and his old assistant doing SMASH would genuinely like that to be the case, or if they just like loving with everyone or think it's a gag to imply he's kinda gay.

Horikoshi's love of puns is going to be his downfall.

The literal term used for one of things that Kirishima likes in his bio page is Kouha (硬派), which both literally means "Hard School" (get it?) and references a nationalist/toughguy movement that was made up of guys who intentionally dressed "tough" and had sex with other dudes as an intentional contrast to their opposing counterparts who liked chicks and adopted European fashion.

Sorry, the All Might thing is. Believe what you will since nothing really confirms or denies it but that line is just a bad localization. Mangastream tried to take a vague statement and make it more concrete- which is fine but it came out wrong in this case.

The manga kinda skirts around it- it's subtext and never really explicitly stated as fact, or it's a gag. WSJ's audience is seemingly fine with gay jokes and stereotypes, and seemingly less so with out-and-out normal non-gag depictions of LGBT stuff. IIRC I've seen Jump Square and other shounen mags be more open with that sort of thing in their series.

I dunno if it's an editorial issue or mangaka being cautious about it- Togashi sorta dances around this too in HxH I think with Alluka. Horikoshi slips it into a bio page in a printed volume and a handful of panels.

E: Ivankov and the Okama are pretty OUT but are pretty stereotypical and played for gags which is kinda uncool but well Japan. :shrug:

Magne. Or rather, Mag-nee. More puns. Spinner and Twice refer to Magne as "Mag-nee" pretty specifically- basically like "Sister Mag" or "Big Sis Mag". Magne also never uses her own body for the gender-magnet power- she only ever uses her weird magnet weapon.

She can't, at least according to the quirk explanation.

Chapter should be incoming since raws are showing up.

Mirio continues to clown on overhaul and company. Mirio is downright pissed off about something and clocks overhaul finally but overhaul tosses his completed bullets to the truth guy who has woken up and takes aim at Mirio. That's pretty much it.

overhauls quirk is confirmed to basically make him an FMA character- he can change the form of all matter, not just flesh.


E: Chapter is out at fascans.com.
