I don't think Horikoshi had a plan when he started writing MHA and I don't think he has one now.

He said he had an ending he was pacing towards. Then the insane international success came and they begged him to add more.

horikoshi just made mha on a whim because he's a weeb for american superheroes and had a bunch of character designs he could reuse from oumagadoki zoo

gloriously hot take but i think the vast majority of shonen jump writers don't have a plan at the start. one piece might have, but given how many of those get cancelled early, and how many are chasing trends trying to stay alive etc, it wouldn't surprise me that the idea is "do well enough to stay around, figure it out after that"

I'm begging a friend to cover bakuman on their podcast where people introduce Marvel comics writer and indie comics artist Chip Zdarsky to manga because it'd be a good way to explain how the industry works but they don't like it

MHA had a winning formula with "school for superheroes" but the school stuff was always far in the background. Especially after the majority of Deku's classmates turn out to pretty much be irrelevant.

I don't think Horikoshi had a plan when he started writing MHA and I don't think he has one now.

i dont care about the main plot in MHA, i just want to see more quirks, and cool innovative uses of already existing ones. i could watch a million episodes of the "filler" we just watched where its just different combinations of heroes duking it out. thats the Good poo poo for me

The bits that were deku learning to use One For All without dying were fun too, and I was looking forward to getting shorter versions of that with his new powers (which I broadly speaking do not like) and then they were just like yeah gently caress it he can do all the things

It feels like it's moving into endgame quickly, probably another year or two

Our war against free speech cannot end until we silence this bronze beast!


baki is probably my favourite ongoing manga but theres so much of it and it changes tone a few times before finding its stride as goofy as poo poo and almost untranslateable since the author is constantly making up words and using pidgin english

theres also the bit where yujiro threatens to rape hillary clinton and she's into it but it is a manga after all

e

Hanma Baki is where it became my fav, during the Pickle arc.
scientists have revived a beautiful caveman who used to fist fight dinosaurs, so naturally all the best fighters are being magnetically drawn to fight him and are sneaking in






whereas yujiro is the strongest creature on earth and just walks up to the front gate and this happens

honestly the best part about people finding that quote is they’re all going, “He’s right,” and, “King.”

the man is uncancelable because he’s unapologetic and doesn’t care what you think.

also, Hathaway does rock; the wait for the next one is going to suck.
