<vigilante> I don't think Crawler even needs one anymore. tbh he never really needed a mentor so much as he needed an example Captain Celebrity could fill that role for a story beat if he gets pressed (which if we're about to hit Noumus he definitely will be) and has to actually be cool instead of a shithead

it'd be kinda weird to have noumus in vigilantes considering nobody even know what the hell they were the first time they showed up in mha proper

well, prototype noumu, anyway. and i'd argue that nobody knowing what they are makes them perfect to pop up a little in vigilantes do we know how long before MHA starts vigilantes is set? it seems the events of MHA have to start happening eventually, not that they have to be particularly relevant

I really want it not to be that tbh. Vigilantes can stand as its own thing without such a connection. Patware posted:do we know how long before MHA starts vigilantes is set? It has to be a fair number of years prior I think, because by the time MHA starts Aizawa has already been an infamous teacher for years.

they'd have to just not ever mention the noumu for it to work, even as a prototype. unless it looks so different that you couldn't peg it as a noumu in the first place but that's an odd choice I think they showed iida as a little kid at some point so it's gotta be a few years before deku meets all might

It could be that whoever these villains are end up making something similar to but not quite a noumu only for the League of Villains to end up stealing their research after the Vigilantes take them down.

Kamui's quirk is pretty ridiculous; it seems to effectively be like a better and more flexible version of Todoroki's ice powers.

Haven't read the new vigilantes, but I couldn't sleep so I watched the most recent ep and ... Yeah the whole Dabi being endeavor's kid kinda makes sense. When shiggy was talking about how all the VA people have been held down by people, rules and heroes, the camera went to dabi, toga, and spinner. Kinda makes sense that dabi's backstory is a shithead genetic-supremacy (likely)rapist (definite)abuser keeping him down/mentally and physically abusing him because he only had fire for a quirk, but it was a strong fire quirk. Dunno if the anime thread or this was was talling about it, I'm super tired but can't sleep.

SatansBestBuddy posted:I was thinking the same thing. It's a pity all the Noumu we've seen so far have been next to useless, for all the effort being put into them they don't hold up well under pressure. The Noumu are powerful, but they keep getting sent against even more powerful opponents, so they keep losing. If the kids were the ones fighting them they'd be screwed. That's the interesting thing about the Noumu: they're implied to be stronger than the named, human villains (aside from OfA, of course) but they're less narratively important.

Manatee Cannon posted:I think it's more that losing his powers was a real blow to mirio emotionally and he doesn't want to get his hopes up just yet. plus using eri's powers must be a complicated feeling for him after the last arc too Well, Eri was also there. I don't think anyone wants to make Eri think (again) that she's to blame for Mirio losing his powers or that it's her responsibility to restore them when that might not even be possible.

noumus only work if all for one is around to stick quirks into them, which is the sole reason they were created at all. for normal, unmodified people with complete skulls getting multiple quirks doesn't work so great. without multiple quirks, what's the advantage over an unmodified villain?

I'm watching the anime and the anime thread makes me want to scream because it seems like everyone is just assuming Deku's going to keep punching people in the rescue arc. Every part of me wants to yell "give the show a chance before judging it jeez" but I really shouldn't. This is the first time I've ever read a manga ahead of just binge watching a show so I feel Very Cursed

I would guess the doctor has some on hand. He's probably the one doing the physical modification after all. Also, Gigantomachia kind of feels like he'll be a "living" Noumu.

symbolic posted:Honestly, I noticed that, too, and I was trying to figure out if it was intentional or not. It also begs the backstories of Toga and Spinner if so. Well from what we know of those 2 (probably not everything but still), Spinner is an outcast from society due to being a big fan of a crazy serial killer and murderer and Toga doesn't belong in society seemingly due to being an actual serial killer who targets people she has crushes on or something (I think that's what was implied)? And I kind of hope that partially stays the case because I really enjoy how the VA is made up of people bonded by their feelings about how society abandoned them or didn't accept them with some having rather sympathetic and understandable grievances, others having warped motivations from tragic backstories, and yet others just being actual terrible murderers. It's fun and interesting.

It would have been perfect if AFO also died with mirrored reactions from Deku and Shiggy but since AFO was just captured I think All Might dying would have been a bad move so I'm glad it didn't happen.

I was honestly more impressed that a mentor/predecessor character was kept alive instead of taking the easy "blaze of glory" out. And given what All Might has been to the story since then, I'm glad he stuck around.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:What the absolute gently caress? I think I can see how the audience could be annoyed with Inko. It's one thing to harbor doubts that your kid can realize their dreams; sounds messed up but really it's important that someone in the family is a realist. It's another thing to tell a kid to their face that their dream is impossible. By itself, that's not enough to really dislike Inko. She was just a heartbroken mother who couldn't stand to watch her son put himself through what he had. I think the audience, having gone through that, now has to watch as Deku's mom comes at her son from the other side. He wanted so dearly to achieve this dream, he found a way to do so after his mother had given up on it, and now that he's living that dream she's calling it into question because it's getting dangerous. I like Inko's depiction, frankly. She's handled pretty darned well, and I can totally relate to her worries and fears when Deku sneezes and explodes all his bones. That said, it would not surprise me if some viewers just wanted 100% shonen battles all the time, and are annoyed that Deku and UA's actions have consequences.

One of the anime's strengths is its blazing-fast pacing but I genuinely hope we get a cliffhanger in the middle of the AfO fight and the episode ends with everybody believing in All Might, because that's still one of the (if not the) most powerful moments in the entire story so far and it will drive people crazy for a week.

People complaining about their being no consequences to Deku's actions yet are quite willing to ignore just how horrifyingly scarred his right arm is getting or the fact that his own mother who has done her best to support him now is starting to beg him to stop following his dream because she quite rightly fears what it will do to him.
