I liked the shot of Deku grabbing the steel pipes with Black Whip But I want to see next chapter if Deku can match Shinsou's proficiency in using the capture rope It might be lame, but I wonder if it's going to get handwaved by Deku recalling how Aizawa and Sero use similar styles and applying that to Black Whip; like how he used Bakugo's flying techniques when debuting Full Cowing during the training exercise after the internships.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:The last instance was an unknown power activating when deku was already freaking out and making him freak out more activating the power more and more. Yeah, but the actual substance of that criticism isn't "Why Deku good at power when bad before?" it's "Why is he suddenly this dexterous and capable with this power the literal first time he has ever had any control over it or even knowledge of its existence?"' I'm not sure I want six separate training arcs for each of these new Quirks, but outright skipping any of the potential drama of learning to use and understand these powers ain't great either!

My main complaint with this chapter was them setting up the tension/dilemma of "I'm not going to use my powers!" and 8 pages later going "Naw, gonna use those powers"

Yeah but the substance of my post there and the previous post I made about it is that this isn't exactly that big or dexterous a feat. He threw a rope around some objects flying by him. It's not like he spider-man webbed someone up or did a full Maximum Spider on Shinso. To say otherwise feels very much like you're trying to complain about what might be or what this might become instead of the text as it exists in front of you, which has happened in this thread repeatedly since the Yakuza arc started. There's this constant refrain in this thread where some posters ring their hands about how bad these individual plot points could be if you ignore the context of the now and focus on a possible future chapter where the worst thing happens with them. It happened with Eri, the VA teaming up with the Yakuza, Deku's use of force in the Gentle fight, Endevour's realization that he's a piece of poo poo and should try to do better, Momo's plan failing because Birdboy held back, Bakugo's team winning, and now Deku using his new power in a fairly basic unskillful way. This thread has a lot of Chicken Little-ing anytime basically anything happens and it's really exhausting because so far there hasn't really been any huge slip ups. Even the Endeavor poo poo is being handled fairly well. I dunno, it's just weird how readily and consistently this thread jumps at trying to pinpoint the exact point this ongoing shonen comic became bad. Because that moment is scientifically when Hatsune Mei went off screen for the first time. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jan 25, 2019 |

The next chapter is going to start with Deku not really knowing what to do with the whips now that he's caught the stuff and he accidentally hits himself in the head with them.

I have the feeling that was a translation/wording goof. Write me down as having concerns about this new development; given his record of blowing himself up before figuring out super strength, I'm not convinced Deku should be able to use his whips with any proficiency until at least a few pages of tooling around. The rest of this fight owns, though. Glad to see Mineta getting some development, even if he's still mainly a horniness elemental.

Mineta is this weird combination of very gross (and justifiably being treated as such) and also very competent when push comes to shove in spite of the series never selling him. He’s like the anti-Momo.

I can see why he and monoma have a complex about their quirks not being good enough after that I wish uraraka had more than one trick up her sleeve in a fight too

It's going to be one of those situations where Deku thinks he's doing something badass, but he just wakes up in the cage after he actually just got his rear end kicked by Shinso.

Yeah, it would have been better if Deku just used OfA: 20% and suplexed the essentially quirkless Shinso before he had a chance to do anything. That Shinso had a chance at all was down to Deku's unwillingness to just finger flick him into oblivion. Like I understand the salty tears that he caught the things with his black whip, but considering Deku could have caught the things with his super strength, or dodged with his super speed, Like... no, Shinso wasn't going to win, he couldn't possibly win. This isn't Rock Lee vs Gaara, it's Usopp vs Luffy.

I can see why he and monoma have a complex about their quirks not being good enough after that I feel like it's only Monoma who has a complex about his quirk. Shinso's complex is that people never gave him a chance because they saw his quirk as "villainous". Monoma seems to have his own completely different set of problems going by that internal rant in this chapter.

I am excited at the prospect of Deku using a quirk that doesn't wreck his body. I am excited at seeing black whip + super strength + super speed; sorry but when he breaks that out it's going to be really cool. I love the idea of black whip... I wish it manifested when Deku was chasing after that pedo Gentle Criminal.

Rhonne posted:Okay, but who in the class would he give a quirk to? He only has six to work with here, so he has to choose wisely. Bakugou, Tokoyami and Todoroki are the only ones doing fine with their own powers so far. Momo needs a harrier to get out and fight people while she's running through the chemical composition of magnesium in her head. Kirishima could use the whips to human slingshot himself as a wrecking ball. Sero needs something in case he runs into someone with an explosion elemental or strength quirk that's too much for his tape to restrain. Mei needs a ForgetMeNot character constantly nudging her towards making gear that keeps her in the story chapter to chapter.

The black whips didn't go haywire because he was trying to use black whips, they went haywire when he was trying to use One For All. So being wary of using One for All seemed prudent. Effectively using the energy whips anyway because it "felt right" and he needed them seemed a little cheap to me, but overall I liked the chapter.

A fun limit on the extra powers could be delivered can only use them one at a time. Which would line up with him not having his strength quirk at the moment. Just a thought.

At the end of the day, the black whip's true utility is in mimicking things. I hope you're prepared for a super strong child with nunchucks.

This is basically what I'm expecting, except a bit less silly; he's going to be inelegant with the power and not able to use it perfectly, given how important training your quirk is of a thing in this series, but hey, this is a training exercise so if he's going to try to learn how to use it now's exactly the time. TheKingofSprings posted:Mineta is this weird combination of very gross (and justifiably being treated as such) and also very competent when push comes to shove in spite of the series never selling him. Despite my loathing of Mineta's grossness, recently I noticed that, when he's not being a gross perv (or even when it's kept to reasonable teenager levels rather than groping and peeping and stuff) he can be pretty funny. Mostly because he's a little poo poo; things like him telling Midoriya "I told you, you scared everyone away" after the Sports Festival and Deku not getting any intern requests, or being smug about actually getting good grades and pissing off all the people who assumed he'd also be a dummy before the camp arc, amused me quite a bit on a reread. If it weren't for the Unfortunate Anime Tropes (i.e. casual sexual harassment and assault) he'd probably be a decent to good character really. But that stuff is pretty dang hard to overlook, so...
