Thinking about Twice's quirk a bit, uh was there any clarification about what happens if Twice clones himself, Twice-clone clones someone else and then someone, ummmm "dispels" Twice-clone? The clones have pretty solid amount of durability and independence, so there is possibility the clone Twice-clone made would remain functional, which would be pretty drat busted. (Well, even more than Twice already is)

I don't think they can be dispelled, they have to "die" by taking enough damage. Otherwise Twice's backstory doesn't make much sense.

There is a reason Hawks considers Twice more dangerous than Shigaraki.

Anyone know where the new movie is in the plotline? I know Hawks is in but that’s it. Some friends want to go but they’re not even through the new season so I wanted to see if there’d be any big spoilers in it

Speaking of which, as I only just got around to watching it recently where does the first MHA movie take place on the series timeline?

The first movie takes place just before Summer Camp, the new movie takes place sometime after the My Villain Academy arc(but apparently doesn't spoil much from what I've heard).

I kind of hope it takes a bunch of sequences from all the different openings but replacing with the Villains and ends with the original everyone posed together scene but with All for One in the centre instead of All Might.

I am completely convinced My Villain Academia will be getting its own special OP and ED in the anime (maybe they could even change the logo as well).

Speaking of which, do we have any idea how far into the manga Season 4 is going to go?

Half of endeavors face is mysteriously shrouded in the opening so maybe we get endeavor vs high spec.

Probably the high end fight or the revealing of the top ten. I haven't watched in a few weeks (waiting for the dub) so I'm not sure how many episodes are left.

18 169-171 actual: 169-170
19 172-174 actual: 171-172
20 175-177 actual: 173-174
21 178-182
22 183-185
23 186-188
24 189-191
25 192-193

If I had to guess, covers all the ending pictures except Toga ends on the stinger of Deku's Nightmare though that leads into the next arc so it may be saved for next season.

Manga is currently on 260 to compare.

Feels like they'd have to burn through the culture fest/Deku vs Gentle pretty quick to squeeze in the High End fight

e: actually it would be kind of incredible to end the season on the "did Endeavor just get killed on live TV" cliffhanger

The odds of it being a deliberate reference are approximately nil, but every time we see her in action I rethink that Mirko 100% fits the City of Heroes Scrapper archetype. She's a soloist who doesn't team, has a simple powerset of speed/strength/toughness that encourages aggressive melee combat, and has run off on her own leaving her allies behind in search of more nomus to dismember because they're moving too slowly for her.

If she dies I will be extremely upset.

She can learn a lesson about teamwork but please don't hurt her too bad Shigaraki, pretty please.

Can't wait for the anime thread roller coaster over Endeavor, I'm surprised it didn't start last week. Next week I get to see my good boy Gentle and I'm so very ready for the Gentle Deku fight. If they do fit in the high end fight this back half is going to murder the poor animators.

Agreed but Hori did play (plays?) CoH and there have been a number of explicit references. Mha technically takes place in the same universe as CoH.

it's sometimes mentioned that there are different archetypes of quirks, like healing/regeneration, strength augmentation, etc.. i wonder if there have ever been examples of two people having the literal same quirk, and if so, were they given unique names just to make them feel more unique?

She's based on Mirko Crocop, an MMA fighter. Her overall design is pretty specifically what makes Horikoshi horny. The scanlated character sheet is wrong- the real text is something more akin to "Miruko's designs are a mixture of my likes and preferences. Her name is based on Mirko Crocop"

Aizawa is there so he probably gets to share his plot armor with someone

The problem is that shigaraki is there

So- either Aizawa survives because he's popular and a main cast member and that LIKELY means some people in his vicinity get to live too

Or this is that big Act 3 opener we've talked about and all of the Shirakumo/Eri-dad stuff is Pathos and he's hosed

Mirko will not die, she will crush every single nomu and villain and be the last bunny standing and the rest of the manga will be about her teaching 1-A to kick the poo poo out of stuff better.

I think Aizawa is pretty safe. He's still has things to resolve with Kurogiri/Shirakumo. Or maybe he does die and the doctor turns him into a Nomu-zombie just like his friend.

Does he really have plot armor, though? His quirk is a big problem for every fight Hori wants to do, he has to come up with a way to have Aizawa be out of the way or to knock him out of the fight beforehand. Losing Erasure also makes the Eri situation much more urgently needed to be dealt with.

Like we have Shigaraki about to be waken up early here, either Aizawa is gonna be KO'd by a Nomu before they run into him, or Aizawa just erases Shigaraki's new quirks while Endeavor toasts him.

Mirko is still being a team player, her assigned role is speeding ahead of the others to corner the villain before he can escape, and she clearly knew exactly where to go when she went straight through the morgue like a bettering ram. Although being fair, it's obvious she got that job because she wouldn't put up with hanging around in the foyer with everyone else.
