anime is not good
also the folks saying no one in the class has personalities is loving wild

yeah, 3/4ths of them don't have any arcs to speak of, and of that probably about a 1/4 could disappear and you wouldn't notice for a couple dozen chapters, but they all have really distinct personalities, which is a big part of why i think horikoshi is rad

like the design and personality of the dozens of side characters are all diverse enough that you can recognize random mooks who showed up for background crowd control a hundred chapters ago

they have personalities in the same way the cast of chrono cross had personalities

one gimmick/quirk (haha) layered over a homogenous mass of soft and sweet marshmallow fluff

The main class all have pretty distinct personalities and instantly recognisable designs. It's probably one of the biggest strengths of the series.

When you decide to do superhero Hogwarts, you can either focus on Harry and his friends or try and turn the entire class into something resembling actual characters

I don't bedgrudge the tertiary members of 1-A their screentime (except Mineta) but I do have my doubts if the approach present in the manga is optimal. That being said, I'm not drawing it, and it's still pretty good, so y'know whatever!

also is toga supposed to have Joker-esque "No real training of remarkable physicality, but can somehow shiv just about anybody" powers?

toga's always been one of the league's powerhouses despite having no formal training besides Love of Stabbing, yes

in terms of sheer lethality she was probably outclassed only by dabi and shigaraki (before the debut of sad man's parade ofc)

I wanna say there was a line in one of the older chapters of someone saying she's must have gotten training from somewhere. There's still plenty of her backstory left to explore in the future(What happened after she ran away from home? When did she actually start killing people? What exactly was her relationship with that Not-Deku kid she stabbed in high school?).

Toga is fast as poo poo. If you don't have a speed quirk then you're getting your throat cut.

She claimed that her ninja vanish trick was taught at Shiketsu when she was pretending to be Cammy.

Turned out they don't teach it there.

This is the reason why I though her using Ochako's quirk against the liberation army was silly. The knife is objectively better!

Toga has had training, it's why she can hide her presence. If Shigaraki is defeated and not saved as the final boss of the series it would be nice to see Toga become the primary antagonist for a bit.

lol the word echoing in Shigaraki's head that was "do it" in the fan translation is part of "destroy" in the official translation

it's almost like fantranslations are completely pointless for discussion due to how much they completely gently caress up basic things!

Remember, this is the bottom of the barrel of fan translations who are rushing scans on something already getting official translations, just for some fleeting clicks. All the worthwhile fanslaters are probably on spinoffs or just other series entirely. You know, on actual passion projects, not shady ad-click hunts.

Basically, these people are in the Venn diagram between “doing it for the money” and “not good enough to get a job doing it for the money”.

Deku: 45%, and some absolutely incredible showing as a hero, including rescuing an entire loving bus, and even more people.
Toga: Gearing up to have a big moment, and probably kill a LOT of heroes
Twice: All but confirmed killed
Shigaraki: Full completing his transformation into the new Symbol of Evil.
Bakugo: Shows up in one panel saving a child


Thread: BAKUGO DISCOURSE
He didn't even enter the conversation organically! Someone just posted about how much they hate him for no apparent reason!

Anyway, I'm still waiting with bated breath to see just how much worse Toga's gonna get now that one of her besties is KIA.

The big problem with Bakugou is that he's not very marketable. Yeah, he'll help pull people out of a river or stop a bus from plowing into an elementary school but if the guy who's saving people's lives is an rear end in a top hat no one can make money off of that.

being an rear end in a top hat is endeavor's Brand, there's a market for everything

it'd be a pain in the rear end to get a decent photo-op out of him, but any publicist would be salivating at a hero who can produce hollywood-tier explosions on a whim
