I think there was a panel showing she was asleep when they remembered they needed one, maybe they didn't want to bother her.

Also it's just a plot device to get Deku and Gentle to meet, don't worry too much about it they probably try to limit how much they ask Momo to make for them, and she's limited herself in the past. Sure, it's just a rope, but it's the principle of the thing!

Well-told self contained arcs are good and cool and great so i'd be down for that.

i really like this manga. i put it down after the fight against that insane guy for a while and then ran through everything with the current arc catching up, it was great! i hope gentle gets let off easy cuz they were like "oh hes just playing a prank" and i like that mirio is still upbeat and eri is happy.

Almost makes me wonder whether other moves have had specific inspirations. Don't forget that Deku's kick moves have been English soccer team cities, and this might be his first kick move for an American city.

It's most likely that his kicks are named after cities in the USA.

For example, Manchester is the most populous city in the U.S. state of New Hampshire:

Ah, I looked it up, and I think the only kicking smash he's done is Manchester. I could've sworn he did one or 2 other ones. Well, whatever.

None of the other smash moves have any obvious correlation so I really just didn't ponder it at all.

I've always associated Texas Smash with "big huge attack" and Delaware with the state looking like a lil' finger, but maybe I'm giving Horikoshi's American geography trivia too much credit.

He went with Oklahoma Smash for All Might's whirlwind/tornado attack during the raid to rescue Bakugo, so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on his American geography skills.

Carolina Smash uses both hands, referencing North and South Carolina. Oklahoma Smash was a tornado lariat, since Oklahoma is in Tornado Alley. And Delaware is a small state, hence only one or two fingers. The "Air Force" version might even be referencing Dover Air Force base, which is a major USAF base on the East Coast. Texas is a massive strike because everything is bigger in Texas.

Others are more obscure. New Hampshire Smash, I think it's because he kinda makes the shape of the state of New Hampshire when he does it. I think Missouri Smash might be another visual reference, his hand is kinda oddly shaped for what is a basic karate chop.

Detroit I'd guess is something to do with rain/wind? I think they get thunderstorms a lot there.

I figured Texas/Delaware were big/little but Detroit's a bit of a head scratcher and by the time All Might got to Missouri and New Hampshire I figured he was just saying stuff that sounded cool for the most part.

Forgot about Oklahoma though, that one is apt.

As a Michigander Detroit doesn't get any more or less rain or thunderstorms than the rest of the state. Although because the state is surrounded by the great lakes we do tend to have slightly more chaotic weather than our neighbors as a whole. I suppose Detroit Smash sounds better than Michigan Smash.

If the actual Philadelphia move isn't some type of suplex (for the "brotherly love" extreme hugging angle), then this series will be worthless.
