Am I reading that translation right? Is Re-Destro claiming that the original light-emitting baby was Destro?

No because he also mentioned the world was already in chaos due to quirks developing.

Mystic Mongol posted:Clones are partially based on Twice's conception of the subject. It's possible, likely even, that Twice thinks Shigaraki is the toughest member of the VA. I actually took Shigaraki sticking around as an outcome of his crazy fast anime speed, since we see him dodging another attack later as well. But yeah, the real Compress does already know that Twice is copying himself, so Twice has to have some influence on what exactly gets made. The fact that Twice was surprised is actually pretty weird, since it means Twice, at least for now, isn’t conscious of shaping his clones, which might open the door of making clones that do have different personalities. Though maybe all this wrinkle will be used for is preventing the VA from gathering intel by making clones of people and talking to them.

I don't think the mentioned mother is Destro's but rather the person who ended up accidentally coining the phrase quirk. Remember the actual Japanese word is literally translated as "individuality".

I love how a little detail makes it incredibly obvious just how full of poo poo Re-Destro is. His grandmother specifically created the term "Quirk" to make people see superpowers, starting from his father's, positively. If he truly followed that ideology, he'd take that word as gospel. Instead he sees it as evil and his faction are the only people that do not use it, preferring "superpower" - the exact term that would separate it from the norm. His grandmother wanted equality, he wants to be superior.

Yeah, it was already apparent from the higher-ups' attitudes, like how Apocrypha is open about his belief that might makes right and the powerless have no value, that "equality" is nowhere near what they want and that they regard themselves as superior, but learning this story makes it that much worse.

I'm cool with Horikoshi skipping the Dabi fight but I hope he cuts back to Spinner vs the Politician. I want to see that.

Given that her title is the Mother of Quirks, Destro may not actually be her son.

"gently caress yo' building." I dunno why I didn't forsee that. There's no way Shigaraki was going to fight his way up that tower to actually fight the 'final boss'

Brought To You By posted:Welp, there goes that theory  The official translation got it wrong on the first go, a friend of mine pointed it out to Caleb (the translator) and Caleb quickly pulled the chapter and fixed the translation from "he was up to the task even without getting remodeled with multiple quirks" to what it is now, the panel I posted. (which has a typo, but c'est la vie)

MonsterEnvy posted:Given that her title is the Mother of Quirks, Destro may not actually be her son. This is what I thought as well. She's probably the mother of the glowing baby from chapter one. It'd make sense someone dealing with a ton of prejudice at the time would want to tell people that her kid isn't really special, it's just a little genetic quirk. It makes Destro even more of a shithead for twisting her words to use in their libertarian propaganda.

I'm gonna laugh if that fight happens and we still don't see Spinner using his Quirk.

It could be a translation issue, but it reads "at the time the world was in chaos and there was still a strong prejudice against superpowers" which doesn't really jive with being the child being the glowing baby.

All of the people Giran recommended were supposed to be big deal criminals, he's got to have more of a talent than just grand theft auto.

Out of curiosity, was there anything from the manga that wasn’t in the anime? I only started reading it from the point where Season 3 left off.

Off the top of my head, they cut out All For One talking to his guard when they were wheeling him to his cell and they cut out the scene showing that Stain was being held a few rooms down.

Exercu posted:Nah, Oxxidation's wrong, but understandably so. Well then, I think I know the ironic fate of Re-destro. His father got mindbroken and turned into a slave for All for One and this will be his downfall. He claims he and his group have been planning this revolution for decades, but All for One planned his continued reign even longer before that.

Have they actually mentioned any connection between Destro and AfO other than both being accomplished villains?

Nope, not as far as I know. And back in 218, the chapter we meet Re-Destro, it's stated that Destro wrote his book then killed himself while in prison after the original Meta Liberation Army was defeated. Edit: Tangent, why does the official translation call Apocrypha "Geten", but translate Skeptic and Curious's codenames? They're all the same thing, so leaving one untranslated stands out as weird.

Fabricated posted:I think it's because of how the names are written in the raws. I haven't seen them but I'm guessing Skeptic and Curious are written in kata and Geten is written in Kanji. That honestly seems like a localization issue: Japanese readers are going to be much more familiar with the connotations of Geten than Western readers will be with "Geten". It's one of the few things I disagree with Cook on.

It's possible Geten is his actual name. His code name could be something like Dubius. Anyway Geten is written differently then Skeptic and Curious. Like I think they are actually saying Skeptic and Curious in english.

MonsterEnvy posted:It's possible Geten is his actual name. His code name could be something like Dubius. This is correct. Geten: 外典 Skeptic: スケプティック Curious: キュリオス Geten has his name in kanji and is, as kanji tends to be, a Japanese word, while the other two are just English words rendered in katakana. There's no translation weirdness here: the Japanese stays Japanese, the English stays English.

I think the most ironic fate for Re-Destro would be for him to get shot with one of the quirk destroying bullets and left with his army destroyed and no powers.

SKULL.GIF posted:232 official https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/my-hero-academia-chapter-232/chapter/18331?action=read Huh. So ReDestro's really claiming Destro's mom was the Mother of Quirks. But the timeline for that doesn't seem right since we know there's already been several generations of Quirks. Let's say ReDestro is in his late 40s to 50s, and Destro had him in his 30s. 80-90 years ago doesn't feel like it'd fit Destro's description of society still filled with chaos and discrimination against Quirks. I could still be wrong about it, but I just want Destro to be full of poo poo and be the type to claim relation to someone famous just to legitimize his movement. Rhonne posted:I think the most ironic fate for Re-Destro would be for him to get shot with one of the quirk destroying bullets and left with his army destroyed and no powers. I can see that happening. Twice did tell Shigaraki that he's unable to replicate the bullets, so Shigaraki probably wouldn't feel the need to hang onto them. Then again, Shiggy's a gamer so maybe he has the Megalixir problem.

Shigaraki wants the Doctor to replicate them. Also the Mother of Quirks in that she named the term, not the woman who gave birth to the glowing baby.

Yeah, I realize the Mother of Quirks wasn't the glowing baby's mom thanks to this translation. I guess I just find it difficult to believe that people hated Quirks 80-90 years ago but now everyone loves it and society seems to be stable.

Plus I like the idea of, instead of just killing his rivals, Shigaraki leaves them broken shells of their former selves(see: Overhaul).
