AfO's mask also resembled Kurogiri quite a bit in the first panel it appeared and had people wondering. Perhaps it's a motif for AfO's organization or, to put it another way, maybe Kurogiri is imitating something else?

Kind of looks like that Noumu has Muscular’s Quirk as well.

This chapter was neat and all but it's a real bummer to go a whole week without the kids

I don't know at that screenshot looks like on your monitor, but all I can see are those three grey strips in the bottom left and the rest is just barely a greyish-blue blob of nothing.

I was wondering what we were going to do for an arc because the internships are over, we just did a school arc, and you can't have the kids tangle with the VA again so soon because it'd be really bad news for the school outside of officially sanctioned hero work. So we're getting an arc maybe with no kids? Kinda gutsy if that's the case.

Since this arc seems to be focusing on Endeavor, we could be getting some more development on Todoroki. Maybe due to some circumstances he ends up getting roped into his dad's work, and Deku + a couple other class A guys could butt in to help him out behind the scenes or something.

I hope this arc is the return of Stain because I want to see him fight Hawks.

Are the internships done done, or were they just put on hold after the Overhaul crazyness? Now that Gran Torino is fired from teaching and Nighteye fired from living, Deku is going to need a new pro hero to intern with/ruin the career of, it would be pretty neat if he ended up having to work for Endeavor. Hell, I'd love to see him intern for any of these top 10. Then again, this could be another short arc like the special training with the kids.

I have to admit I like Hawks gravitas a bit more than Ryukyu's "I can't accept this I'm not good enough...." stuff that is absolutely uninspiring.

On the other hand, his own speech was horribly self-centered, pompous and ultimately idiotic (why should only how people see you matter? Are you saying results are pointless, but popularity is vital?). I get that he was genuinely trying to push Endeavour to show exactly what he's made of now that he's number one hero, but it wasn't the best way.

Yeah I agree. I think we can all see that Wash's speech was clearly the most inspirational.

On the new Nomu. Looking at it for a bit. It appears that it's using it's own skin as a hood.

It'd be a great fight to see how Wash handles a potentially now even more stubborn Stain.

Poor Chisaki was probably super jealous of Wash, and that's why he turned to evil.

If we're dealing with Nomu again, I wonder if we'll see that doctor that was seen with All for One that one time? The one that's probably also Deku's childhood doctor from the first chapter and may or may not have turned his grandson into the winged Nomu from Hosu.

I wonder if Horikoshi is an old Resident Evil fan, because High End strongly reminds me of a hunter. Even its posture is reminiscent of those scaly bastards.  Hell, they're both bioweapons, too. Which means the perfected Nomus will be quirkified Tyrants.

I do wonder how much stock he really does place in ratings over achievements. It's always been a thing that despite having the best track record, Endeavor stood second fiddle to All Might because of the latter's overwhelming charisma.

Endeavor was second fiddle to All Might in everything, it was just that he was much closer to him in accomplishments yet could not hold a candle to everything else that All Might brought to the table.

And it's attributed to the difference in demeanor and personality. Not just raw physical strength.

I get that he was genuinely trying to push Endeavour to show exactly what he's made of now that he's number one hero, but it wasn't the best way. In the current environment in the manga, Hawks is absolutely right; right now, popularity is a lot more important than raw results for the top end heroes. All Might's power and worth wasn't that he was really good at saving people and beating up villains, it was that his sheer presence and charisma meant that he became a giant ideological symbol; All Might exists, so the people are safe and villains are going to get wrecked, period. That absolute belief in All Might stabilized society and suppressed new villains from trying their luck. Now that that's gone, it's more important than ever that the remaining top heroes build that sort of mythos again, which is more of a propaganda thing than a practical thing. It doesn't really matter if Endeavor is really good at running around melting pickpockets and jaywalkers en masse and is the most prolific problem solver ever if the peoples' response to his presence is "Oh god, why are you here???" instead of "Thank god, we're saved!"

Someone spotted this on reddit, but it looks like the room preceding the one High End is in is covered in child's wallpaper. That would be further proof that the VA is using children as stock for Nomus. Deku being born quirkless might have spared him from that awful fate.

On the other hand it is not just All Might's demeanor which made him the top hero. What broke Endeavor and changed him into the monster that he is today was seeing such a gulf in strength between him and All Might that Endeavor gave up all hopes of surpassing All Might and tried to literally breed a child to compete with him.

As for the All Might stuff, it demonstrates that Endeavor's position was just as much if not more so due to his character than his abilities. The fact that he himself viewed it as a power issue reinforces how flawed his perspective is. Instead of being a fire that warms and protects, Endeavor chose to become an inferno that consumes crime, which only resonates with a narrow group.

Hawk is both correct and intentionally hamming it up I think. Kind of reminds me of how Saitama acted at the end of the Sea King arc in One Punch Man. The system itself functions as a deterrent first (don't do this or you'll have to answer to All Might) and a force second (let's go raid Overhaul's house). Endeavor probably clears tons of cases as an extremely strong enforcer but All Might likely prevented an order of magnitude more by just being self assured and yelling "I am here". The fact that Endeavor perceived the difference between them as a quirk issue is definitely telling of how little he even thinks about character and poise, before you even get to the spousal abuse and selective quirk breeding.

MonsterEnvy posted:True. But he had not really done anything really assholish In the present at all. Not actively doing anything reprehensible right now doesn't mean he's suddenly not a monster. AfO might not be doing anything wrong while he eats his breakfast and drinks his morning coffee, but he's still a monster while he's doing it. The same goes for Endeavour.
