Ryuujin posted:Speaking of regeneration, when I saw that mentioned in the anime recently, and watched some theory videos about other stuff that we have gone over in the past, it made me wonder something. If Deku had one and lost a quirk I hope it was something terrible that's a complete non-combo with One-for-All. Like he becomes made of stone. Inanimate, unthinking, plain old stone for exactly 5 minutes. Ability to breathe CO2 instead of oxygen. His ring finger is always the perfect size for whatever ring he's putting on. Just something that would have inherently ruined his chances to be a functional hero such that actually losing it and thinking he was quirkless worked out better for him.

Power to make shirts with the names of different articles of clothing printed on them look like those other kinds of clothing to other people. Everyone else thinks Deku has an extensive wardrobe, Deku thinks he has an eclectic and quirky sense of style.

I've also seen some people theorize that they're using children to make nomu and Deku being quirkless might have inadvertently saved him from a similar fate.

There's some implications that children are involved in some way with the nomu, the winged bully from Deku's childhood was implied to have some connection to the winged nomu in Hosu and High End's first appearance in the last chapter seemed to be at some kind of child care center.

Horikoshi outright responded to a question about why the winged noumu went for Deku with a picture of the winged kid, so, yeah. He is not being subtle there. Also apparently some side material or whatever gave both the winged kid and Deku's doctor the same family name, which is not only yet another sign that the doctors look the same because they are the same, but also that said doctor is just, like, super evil, even by the standards of people who would help make noumus and all.

Also that kid only showed up in Deku's childhood flashbacks, so he vanished sometime between then and middle school.

Tekne posted:Hawks is a lot more versatile than I was expecting. Endeavor's new techniques are baller, but I want to see what High End can do. Intelligence and multiple quirks are cool, combining them would be even cooler. Is this from the anime? Looks crazier than the manga version. I have only watched the Deku vs Muscular fight from the new season so far and it was so good. It blows me away how well they convey the tone of the source material.

even if the doctor is stealing quirks he's probably not doing so until after the quirks develop a bit and there's some understanding of them. evidenced by the fact that the wing kid made it to elementary school at least.

The wing kid was made into a noumu, not quirk stolen. Different cases. Besides, AfO very explicitly doesn't care about the quirk's development. He rejects stealing Best Jeanist's specifically because he's developed it so far to do what he does. He wants simple easy to use poo poo.

Patware posted:the anime is WAY better than the manga at portraying action The anime makes the action more kinetic and entertaining, for sure. Occasionally it also fills in the blanks (like against Muscular, you never see Deku's final hit connect in the manga). I still think Horikoshi is excellent at framing and following action, though. Go back and take a look at how he shows Bakugo's liftoff in the manga, for example. At the end of one chapter he shows it from above, from the viewpoint of Deku & co. At the beginning of the next chapter he shows it from the ground, from the view of the VA. Combined it shows you exactly what happened and why it was necessary to do that to get Bakugo out of there. The anime, on the other hand, embellished it so much you're kind of left wondering why Bakugo didn't just rocketjump himself out of there with how far he travels. It looks cool as gently caress and I'm gonna go watch it again because it owns, but I still appreciate how the manga frames the action most of the time. It really sells most of the goings-on from a believability standpoint.

EponymousMrYar posted:That's my take here. Not only is the timing suspicious but Hawk's emphasis on appearances (popularity) throw up a red flag to me, in addition to his stated end goal being, basically, to turn Endeavor into another All Might (a hero who stops crime by simply existing, allowing other heroes to take it easily.) Heroes being lazy and not having to risk life and limb on a daily basis is a good thing, actually

Yeah I dunno how you could misread a situation that bad as hearing Hawks say "I want a #1 hero that inspires us all to do better because I dream of a world where it's peaceful enough that Heroes aren't needed." and think "This guy's just being selfish."

Supremezero posted:The wing kid was made into a noumu, not quirk stolen. Different cases. 1.) nomus are made by stiffing a bunch of stolen qurks into 1 body 2.) it's useful to know if your healing power is going to work by repairing things or reversing time until you blink out of existence there's a difference between a quirk that needs a high degree of skill to use and figuring out what a quirk actually does

Even if he is being selfish, it's selfishness which would require significant social improvement to really manifest. It'd be like someone earnestly only wanting universal healthcare because they personally cannot afford insurance otherwise and having no concern for anyone else, but still becoming a highly public and influential activist to make that happen. It's a good think regardless.

In fact, the heroes that are almost suicidely selfless and self-sacrificial kind of get routinely called out on how "Hey no that's a really hosed up way to live and you're only gonna hurt yourself doing it." Even All Might realized he was teaching Deku the wrong lessons doing that (after being called on it by other teachers and his own mentor)

Think about who Hawks is talking to there: Mr. leader in cases solved. Do you think that Endeavor wakes up every day hoping nothing happens? No, he wants poo poo to pile on his resume, and up until this point he probably hasn't thought into it any further than that. He's reactionary, and missing the bigger picture. His goal up until recently was just to surpass All Might while not at all understanding anything about him. Hawks' take is that a boring day on the job equals a peaceful society, which is an aspirational long-view goal - not laziness.

Did the anime cut the part where AfO specifically says that he doesn't want Jeanist's quirk because it needs a lot of proficiency to become so strong so it wouldn't fit Shigaraki's personality? E: wait this isn't the anime thread how are we confused about AfO's stance on Best Jeanist

That's an awful lot of 'I want' in there. I just call it how I see it. And selfishness isn't inherently a bad thing either. If Hawks is sincere, that's a good selfishness. I doubt his sincerity though. Countblanc posted:Even if he is being selfish, it's selfishness which would require significant social improvement to really manifest.

Which even All Might is like 'dude Endeavor, you're not me. you don't have to be me. in retrospect what i did was actually kind of stupid. find your own answer.' That combined with the juxtaposition of a demonstration of his heroing leading into his account of following up on Noumu rumors (in which he did not find anything on them) and the sudden Noumu attack makes me suspect his sincerity.

Hawks is likely intentionally here to display the viewpoint of people who have had their lives drastically approved by it, given that we've only ever had the perspective of people around All Might. to that end, even though we have been loudly exposited at that it is, in the end, not a good thing, Hawks is completely outside that and has no reason to know that even All Might has realized hero society needs a better way.
