The highway attack is one of the most visually striking parts of the whole manga, and it’s a shame that the anime made it look humdrum. Shigaraki taking out the transport van is more cinematic in the chapter than it is animated. I wonder if the thread’s response to that scene would have been different if it had gotten the same treatment it had in the manga.

The anime picks and chooses what moments get top billing and extra focus/budget while Horikoshi clearly loves all of these moments pretty equally. The bit with Shigaraki on top of the truck is bombastic as gently caress in the manga and just kinda normal and boring in the anime. Back when I was reading this arc as it came out I just wanted Deku to pancake Overhaul instantly. While that eventually happens, really Shigaraki delivered on the catharsis I was looking for, with a flourish.

Yeah, speaking as one of the few people in the thread who liked Shigaraki for most of the manga, the highway attack is one of the main moments I remember people starting to come around on him. My Villain Academia was the real turning point, of course, but almost everyone seemed to like Shiggy and the VA wrecking Overhaul. It definitely wasn't as understated and mixed as the anime thread is now.

I'm not too impressed with Overhaul as a character, but I do like the effect this arc has had on Midoriya and Shigaraki both. Midoriya gets to see some actually terrible fallout from Overhaul's action with the child abuse and two Pro Heroes dying, and Shigaraki learns about the power of friendship and kicking a man while he's down.

Overhaul is a huge loser and him getting owned by a madman with a kindergartner strapped to his back, a manchild, and a loving stage magician is about what he deserves.

TheKingslayer posted:I still don't see this. He's legit vile in every way which is... well pretty drat villainous. They also are similar in that their powers were super mishandled. Doflamingo could control people like puppets so obviously the majority of his fights should involve throwing thread like lasers. Overhaul could break down and reshape anything so of course that means 90% rock spikes. The fact that that same brat was apparently fast and strong enough to instakill Rappa became embarrassing in retrospect. Why? Just because he's the leader so he's gotta be the strongest. Shonen rules. The best thing Overhaul did was give Mirio and Deku a stage to look cool on and it would've been even cooler had he been better developed and utilized.

I vividly remember this arc getting tons of negative opinions every chapter until Shiggy punked Overhaul, at which point we celebrated his discovery of the power of evil friendship, then opinions got back to positive for a good long while. The reaction is definitely different. I can't wait to see how they react to MVA

The anime thread is having its tangent on plot armor and I'm over here in manga land scared about losing half the cast to a upset Shiggy with a probable Gigantomachia appetizer. At least I have the cultural festival to look forward to while everyone dusts. But really between the highway attack and MVA I like the villains screen time better than the heroes at this point, it's just real good and good rear end villains make for a good rear end story.

I'm the outlier that didn't care too much for the villain plotline. The stuff with twice was good, but everything else considered I prefer the hero plotline.

I want to like Mr. Compress more cause he's got a great design and name and a pretty good attitude but he doesn't do anything. Toga is a yandere and I don't care for those. Dabi is lame. Magne was good but alas. Shigaraki is fine at best but I liked him better when he leaned into the lovely kid making video game analogies. Now he tanks hits like the hulk and and melts the world and has a grimdark back story which is all fine for building a credible threat villain but it doesn't make him super interesting and the whole rebel army treating him like he's their savior is a little weird. He'll be a fine final boss but I can't agree at all with the people who think his story is more interesting than Deku and co's. EDIT: I forgot Spinner. He is on Mr. Compress' level. I felt like he was gonna have a big moment during MVA but nope.

What if Hawks is setting up the heroes to fail so he can get in good with the League and finally get granted a meeting with Shigaraki so he can attempt to kill him himself?

Spinner's big moment I think was finally being sold by Shigaraki's vision in the end. He may have moved on from Stain in that moment. Also: https://twitter.com/VocalPineapple/status/1222070903267262465?s=20

Not just that, but that he, a nobody with a lame quirk, is not worth less as a person than Trumpet, an influential politican with a powerful quirk and a high rank in the Liberation Army. His humanist view of equality means he's got a better grasp of the values of the LA than at least one of its leaders.

Yeah, that's why cloning an enemy doesn't help much, because the clones share the same beliefs and poo poo as the original. That's why Twice has only ever copied himself or his allies.

1) Could Monoma copy a quirk from a clone? 2) If so, could Monoma copy Twice's quirk, create a clone of himself, and then recopy that quirk from his clone in order to keep it indefinitely?

I mean, it used to be, but now that Twice has somewhat conquered his trauma he's a lot more loving dangerous as Hawks points out. The best way to deal with Twice is with large-scale attacks, since regardless of the original's durability, all clones have a hard limit on the damage they can take before they go poof.
