Vigilantes is starting to feel like it's getting close to a finale. Like this is going to be the last arc before their happily ever after. And you know what? I'm okay with that. I love Vigilantes, and of course I want more, but I'd respect the hell out of thm for deciding "this is where we want it to end."

How many years before MHA does this take place again? Because I’d personally love to see a few of these characters pop up in the main series at some point. An anime adaptation would be nice as well.

I don't think we've been given a specific number. That said, it can't be any lower than 2 - Aizawa is not a teacher yet, and we know he had at least one class before the current class.

Once again, I'm reminded that Koichi probably could have been a pro hero at this point if it weren't for his mom. She constantly discouraged him from his dreams his whole life and stunted the development of his quirk by hitting Koichi when he was still a baby every time he tried using his quirk. Koichi's mom is the worst.

Koichi's mom has a broken quirk the more I think about it. Who can handle an abusive mom slap from 20 or so meters away?

I'm not going to defend her behavior, because it's not really defensible in any way and she's an awful person, but I can imagine that raising a quirk baby has to be a nightmare hell scenario.

Final chapter of the series is going to have Koichi bump into a young Deku and give him his All Might hoodie after the kid starts gushing about it.

CodfishCartographer posted:Finally got around to catching up on this, looks like I chose a great time to! Although now I have nothing to read... Read it, it's good! Although the first chapter shares a similar issue with MHA's first chapter with Bakugo telling Deku to kill himself, except in Vigilantes it was Pop Step getting threatened with sexual assault. It also takes a few chapters to find its footing, probably because it used to run in a monthly magazine before eventually moving to Shonen Jump.

I think the magazine Vigilantes debuted in was cancelled after the second or third issue, so they ended up jumping to like 2 other magazines before finally settling on where they are now. So in the early run of the series, you'll get a few soft reboot chapters that reintroduced the setting and characters of the series to potential new readers.

I honestly think Vigilantes is the superior manga more often than not. The main story seems to me to be struggling with focus or like its thrashing through ideas looking for the next big thing. Also power level hell escalation and character bloat. Then group battles are extremely hard to get right and the larger the groups are the worse it gets.

I dunno, I think the main manga has been better since the Joint Training Arc ended. My Villain Academia, even the aside with Endeavor, and the war arc are all really great IMO

I think a Vigilantes adaptation could be a good way to fill the space between two regular MHA seasons, instead of just sitting and waiting for a year for the manga to get enough of a lead again. Season of MHA, season of Vigilantes, back and forth. Probably still with a season's worth of blank space in between to give the animators room to breath, but you know.

They've actually been leaving themselves plenty enough lead time with the year gap between runs to not really worry too much about catching up. I would expect the next season to cover everything up to just before the current arc, probably ending with the kid's time at Endeavor's agency since that has a pretty open ending but sufficiently flashy climax. Also, the main series is better when it focuses in on a handful of characters usually, as in scope. The advantage Vigilantes has is that it's always that, it's just the small core group and some supporting characters, but almost always has one of the main 3 on screen and I'm invested in what they're doing. Can't say the same about Momo and Gigantomachia, both secondary characters and both talked up a whole bunch by other people with not a whole lot to back it up.

Shere posted:Also, the main series is better when it focuses in on a handful of characters usually, as in scope. ... Explosive take here but I think Bakugo was a mistake. The dynamic between Deku and Shoto could've been plenty to carry the series, along with their mirroring/inverse upbringings. Bakugo as the third vertex would be fine *if* the series didn't have an absolute ton of characters. As it is it means the main trio get significantly less focus, individually, than if it was a main duo. And I think as a result Bakugo's character has suffered the most from this deficit. When's the last time he got significant focus and growth that wasn't just him leaning more and more into his one-note personality? exit: fixed Todoroki's name, oops SKULL.GIF fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Him working with Deku is a pretty big step because this is definitely not how he acted when they fought All Might. The only point he gets really mad is when Deku's telling him to stay out of this because it's dangerous otherwise he's being pretty mature about teaming up. Like man can't believe there's people actually falling for Bakugo's act of how he totally still doesn't care about Deku as they work together to take out the bad guy. E: Like, he had this whole inner monologue about how he's a loser who caused All Might to lose his powers and he needs to be better or else Deku will surpass him. It's like standard rival stuff but honestly it's more than Deku's getting.

He's still boisterous but he's way way more developed than any other member of the cast that isn't the actual protagonist of all might. It's refreshingly subtle character development compared to most shonen manga where you'd have the rival basically be a whole new character. That's the opposite of one note, and is in fact Hori's most deft bit of character writing.

Don't know how well an animated version of Vigilantes would go over with mainstream audiences when it starts off with a college grad hanging out with a high school junior whose rear end is hanging out all the time in costume but technically it's in Shonen Jump so maybe they could get away with it?
