It makes sense for her power I guess that she needs to be showing skin to make stuff but Horikoshi wrote it that way and he likes Mineta a lot iirc so i don't trust him

Yeah I don't necessarily want to start that, it's more that there were way more chest-level shots in this ep that I remember being in the manga, which, mineta aside, I remember being better than usual with this sort of thing. Not immune though.

Though that has more to do with the hula skirt thing.

Though even then all she needed was no sleeves, she doesn't need the middle of her chest.

It's a book filled with notes on the properties and make up of stuff that she can refer to in a pinch.

The Yaoyorictionary. It's full of notes about the physical makeup of things, so she can learn/remember how to make them in a pinch.

The book is supposed to be her crafting log where she writes a list of a bunch of useful items and their compositions in case she forgets what something is made of. Which is kinda impractical for an active crisis, and never used.
If she thinks she needs that she should upgrade to a bluetooth headset and just ask Siri to remind her the details of things.

It's probably real dumb for like fighting villains obviously but she could make poo poo like a makeshift tent or tools in a natural disaster which heroes also deal with.

You could probably argue that's it retcon-y, but I really like the reveal that Todoroki was the one who voted for Momo. He's not completely aloof, just not good at People. Momo's respect for him is cute too.

What do you mean retcon-y? Momo's second vote was never addressed, right?

Expect My Mom
Nov 18, 2013

by Smythe
Retcon isn't really the right word, but I just wonder if that was Horikoshi's plan along, those chapters were over a year apart after all. And it's not like Todoroki had any real reason to vote for her other than she was the other student who got in through recommendations and they sit next to each other I like that moment, but I can easily someone else saying it's a silly "I Actually Secretly Believed In You All Along Momo"

e: actually before that chapter was the battle trial arc where she analyzed how bakugo and deku goofed in the trial battle better than All Might did, so okay yeah i believe it never mind

Momo wants to leave large amounts of skin exposed so she can make big things quickly. Remember during the USJ arc when she had to make an insulated blanket and it shredded her jersey?

I mean his line is "I thought you'd be good at it", not "I definitely thought you were the best choice possible based on my extensive knowledge of your abilities and personality". They voted for class rep after the combat training part, which included Momo effortlessly dissecting and explaining everything right and wrong about Deku vs Midoriya in a clear and concise manner. He probably thought she seemed pretty smart.

Todoroki's also not the type to vote for himself, for the same reason he didn't choose a hero name. He just wants to be himself, not a 'hero' or even a 'class rep'(even if he's not sure what that is). It makes sense to me. Who else would he have voted for?

Yes, and we got shots of a basically-naked teenager. It makes sense in-story, but it doesn't make the camera focusing on her chest any less questionable.

Her costume would make more sense if it covered her tits and left her whole midriff and back open.

E: Like basically her gym uniform actually.

Lmao if you think Horikoshi couldn't have just written her the exact same with shorts and a tshirt or w/e. This is like when MGSV revealed Quiet breathed through her skin but you can still put her in a normal uniform later for some reason. Kojima didn't start with skin breathing he started with a naked chick. Like if you ever see a character and think "well it has to be like this the story demands her to only dress in a bikini" I'm suspicious of you.

I mean ya but if you start from the point 'I'd like a fanservice character, and I'm going to give it an in universe justification', you can at least make sure the costume makes sense from that perspective.

I don't really care. Like at all honestly.

Especially given the series' contemporaries in the magazine.

E: I just rewatched the episode real quick and I didn't really see anything to the degree of what people are talking about. Ya'll got brain worms. I guess everyone's dropping the series next season when one of the few actual fanservice moments shows up.

I second this, because the vertical open area isn't that much bigger than the leg width, and she has to open her top for wider surface area during a lot of her creation scenes anyway. The surface of the legs and arms already provides what's needed for making an object that's longest vertically, so with her power it'd be more logical to have an open area that'd be longest horizontally instead. Weird fanservice scenes don't put me off watching a TV series that's good enough but they can put me off recommending it to other people
