Thorn vine girl also had a pretty kick rear end quirk. Keep in mind both class A and B are supposed to be in equal standing as the Hero Course classes. It's not a ranking system. It's just that A happened to have the protagonist. E: I should've kept reading before replying.

An anime-only friend of mine believes Ragdoll is the traitor from the most recent episode. I don't recall anyone bringing that possibility and it's certainly reasonable from where they are at the moment.

He has already had his "I wanna be a hero because I wanna be cool and I think heroes are cool, so I'm gonna be cool and not as creepy" moment on-screen though. It didn't stick.

That's a terrible reason to be a hero. And didn't he get into UA through money or connections rather than aptitude?

Slow down there, he never said he wasn't going to be a horndog anymore. He just said he wanted to be cool. Since then he hasn't really been involved so who knows if he's going to backslide into cowardice again, but anyone expecting the horny character in a shonen manga to stop being horny should probably not place any bets on it. EDIT: Money and connections?? Where'd you read that? He stuck his balls all over some robots and earned himself a spot in 1-A, same as everyone else except for Yaomomo and Todoroki.

I mean way later at a time when it actually matters. He can be in my bad box until it happens, but if it happens, I'll forgive him. I mean, these kids are still in their first year, I'd expect this to come at end of his teen life. I was a lovely teenager too, so I get how hosed hormones are. Heck, I think I was worse than he is.

La Brava, a person who, if she focuses her love enough, can help one person get much more powerful than they are on their own. She is dedicated to one person, and that person's cause. Mineta, a person who can attach parts of himself at anybody and everybody, and actively inhibit them from doing anything useful. He is horny for every woman, and has no real cause but to touch a boob. Yes, these characters seem very similar.

A bunch of the students didn't join the hero course out of absolutely magnanimous reasons. Iida wanted to follow in the family business. Tokoroki is doing it to spite his poo poo dad Uraraka wants to earn money Bakugo simply wants to prove he's the best That doesn't make it wrong unless you are then allowing that to get in the way of saving people. In MHA being a hero is basically being a state actor that is licenced and regulated to legally use a quirk for their duties (either apprehension or disaster recovery) and use violence in order to deal with criminals. It's a job and one where people doing it have the chance to gain celebrity, prestige, and wealth; few heroes even have secret identities and licence themselves out for product placement. That's the heart of what's Stain's problem was; that being a hero was a self interested job but almost no one could reasonably live up to his comic book ideals. "What happens when being a super hero is a job that people get into like any other career?" is one of the fundamental issues this comic deals with.

Yeah I don't think the type of hero that Stain is obsessed with could actually exist in that world. Being a hero is costly, requires dedication, and needs to work in the system due to laws related to quirk use and ability to use physical violence. You can't really do that as a side hobby and be at all effective. Even All Might who he considers the ideal didn't do heroing for free and licenced out his likeness for endless products.

Stain's big issue is that calling the job "hero" cheapens the meaning of the word, which it does. If they called it anything else I imagine he would have probably not went nuts. Really it is kind of a poor word for the job since heroism generally implies extraordinary action from people who don't do that sort of thing for no expected profit. I'd call what MHA heroes do "peacekeeper" myself.

Stain is a complete nut job and Vigilantes does an excellent job highlighting that fact, but losing to Knuckleduster isn't really a slight against him.

Obviously the morally responsible thing to do would be to never use his Quirk at all, since it's a direct violation of what should be a basic human right.

Shinsou's quirk could be hilariously effective at hero work considering we don't have many defined limits to it. I'm imagining him just sitting in a call center going down a list of criminals' phone numbers and asking them questions and commanding them to turn themselves in. Shinsou: "Hello, I've got one large anchovy pizza incoming for Hugh Mungus, is that you?" Shigaraki: "I didn't order any... hey wait what why am I in jail now?!"

Momo and Shinsou have absurdly powerful quirks that are only limited by how much Horikoshi wants to use them and that's why they'll never have much focus. It is also funny that Momo is restricted by the capitalist class from interfering with the economy because she and her descendants would theoretically be the beginning of a post-scarcity society.

Well, so long as continuous use doesn't harm her. Momo is pretty limited since it requires very complex knowledge to make stuff. The most practical stuff is all grenades, nets, melee weapons, and guns. Batman level "anti-thing" gadgets and items would require a lot more prep and learning. Hopefully loaded with less than lethal ammo. Momo should just figure out how to make pistols with rubber/gel rounds and learn gunkata

Momo could easily just walk around with a gas mask and emit or create grenades filled with gaseous anesthetic and jab people with Ritalin to wake them out of it if she needs to. Chemically speaking those are all simpler to make and require less materials than a wooden broom.
