I am also okay if he's just a complex character, a hero in some respects and garbage in others. Not sure why it has to be black or white.

Because Shonen Jump can't afford more than a couple color pages in a given issue.

Not much of a spoiler, tbh. If the character's gonna be in the game should everyone involved feign ignorance about her quirk to avoid a very minor spoiler?

Yeah, even if you knew her quirk, you'd be too busy guessing which existing character is her in disguise, rather than looking at the newly introduced ones.

Just from the training camp it shouldn't be hard to guess that Toga's quirk resolves around blood.

Also the Anime did an excellent job with One For All's reveal as the sound track used for him is so completely different from anything else the show has used makes it quite clear that he is on a completely different level then almost the entire cast.

I have high hopes for the next episode of the anime. Biggest thing I want is for them to stretch out the initial fight of All Might and All for One. Episode ends with him protecting the woman that's trapped and smoke clears to show his thin form all roughed up. Smash cut to credits.

Preview for the episode after that is just imagery like him curled over the flame and Deku and Bakugo crying just for maximum fuckery :v:

Yeah, and I never finished valvrave (because wtf) but I do still keep up with SNS ... but at a certain point we do have to realize that the arguments we may be making are, uh ... not great.

It's okay to read or watch some trashy stuff, stuff that if you had to describe in polite or 'woke' company would cause funny faces.
Let's just not fool ourselves as to what it is.

i think there's a significant difference between the manga normally being a cooking series with cheesecakey bits, and the single arc that has a really shittily handled parental abuse plotline. the thread already made the case for why the latter is bad, making the case for the series having merit outside of that part seems fine?

You are right. And now that I'm reading it again I came off a bit stronger than I wanted to, I do generally agree. Sorry about that.

I just want to point out that Valvrave was terrible and stupid before the rape. Also there was only the one rape. It makes up for lack of quantity by being the most wrongheaded rape scene I've ever seen. I could write a loving essay about how poo poo that scene is.

I think that or the revelation about Shigaraki are good spots for a cliffhanger. Both moments when All Might loses his confidence and set up his righteous last stand for the next episode

Technically Shigaraki has already been revealed if anyone remembered Nana's name

It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
FYI the next episode is titled "Symbol of Peace" and the anime has been pretty good about consistently ending with the same chapter as the episode title.

The corresponding chapter in the manga would see the episode end with the kids successfully rescuing Bakugo, leaving the episode after to probably be the entirety of OFA vs AFO.

Only if you can then bridge the gap between Shimura Tenko and Shigaraki Tomura. Which I'm not sure I could do even if you gave me the benefit of having the actual kanji in front of me.

The way the anime has been improving the already good manga chapters is giving me hope that they'll be able to improve Overhaul's. :pray:

The biggest gripe a lot of people had was the pacing, which should be fixed. But I would not be opposed if they give the girls something to do as well.

You learn Shigaraki's real name in a flashback he has in which you see him as a child being found by All For One. There's no gap to bridge.

Have they even mentioned that All Might's master was named Shimura Nana yet? I thought that gets revealed during the big fight.

The whole Bakugou rescue arc is going quicker than I thought it would. Will we have time to get into Overhaul in this season, or is there enough between the two arcs?

Living the Dream
This season will likely end on Deku vs Bakugou round 2.

I like the Overhaul arc as a whole now that it's finished but it has weird pacing issues and overemphasizes Mirio IMO- there could be some big twist involving him that could happen in the future that makes it make sense but on its own it's like Deku is a side character in his own manga. Nighteye is the kind of throwaway character you'd get in a filler movie with how he shows up with a power you as a reader KNOW means he either loses it or dies or vanishes because it's just too plot-breaking.

I think if the anime juggles some of the elements around and fillers the right stuff it'll be pretty dope when animated. Filler the girl's fight with the goon upstairs so we can see them do stuff, make more of Kirishima's flashback happen when he discovers his unbreakable form so his flashback during his fight in the raid is a bit shorter and to the point, and that'll make the animated version fill out nicely. The arc's action scenes feel long in the manga because Hori was dying for half the arc and they were short chapters, but you could pretty much do any two of the fights before Mirio vs Overhaul in a single episode. The entire raid is maybe 4 episodes of material.

I wonder if this season will end with the introduction of the Big 3? Like, the last shot of the season being the three of them walking into class.
