So what's up with Shigaraki? He's about to use decay but can't for some reason? Did Star and Stripe end up destroying that quirk or is something else preventing him from using it?

Maybe Monoma is using both Kurogiri's quirk and Erasure

I completely forgot Monoma could hold on to more than one quirk, and it makes perfect sense that he'd pick up Erasure since Aizawa straight up says he's struggling with it.

But Monoma can only use one quirk at a time. Plus, no one else's quirks are bring erased(Dabi is using his flames just fine).

What 3 other quirks should Monoma have brought? Erasers and Shinso's seem like a given.

I thought when he touched the ground, it looked wet, like his fingers were just going into the ground instead of resting on top. I assumed it was Honenuki's quirk.

It looks to me like he's stuck in whatever goop gets made with that transportation quirk. It's hard to tell with the action lines, but it sort of looks like he's struggling to pull his hand out.

e:okay no, where he is last chapter makes this make no sense. I have no idea.

Eh. The fact that it occurred off camera isn't ideal, but being able to expand past the initial limitations of your Quirk with training is something that's occurred a whole bunch of times in the manga. E.g. Toga being able to use other people's quirks. It's hardly a copout that was invented just now.

Yeah, this is fine and make perfect sense in the context of everything that's come before. There's potentially some bullshit to come with Shiggy's and Deku's powers, but these are all established characters so I'm excited to see how they close it all out.

Still no sign of the quirk singularity being dealt with though, like even if they take down Shiggy there's still no sign that society isn't going to ultimately get overrun by insanely powerful quirks becoming more and more common. They keep dancing around the subject, but haven't really addressed that quirks as a whole are completely unsustainable in the long run, even if it'll take a while to get there.

The off-camera way it happened is why it's completely lame as hell. Toga, Shigaraki, Twice, and even Koichi from Vigilantes expanding their powers is fine because they did it on panel in character moments that made it earned for them to transcend their limitations in various ways. Shinso here is just kinda popping up out of nowhere after barely being a character and his offscreen training happened to provide them with a perfect device to get exactly what they want at this given moment.

This whole plan is dumb because it's not being written with the heroes having to make use of the tools they've got, it's being written with an endpoint in mind and the tools to make it work are manifesting out of thin air. It's also why Deku pulling quirks out of his rear end sucks too.

To be honest it doesn't bother me because a trick to bypass AFO's lie detector didn't really need conjured up, because AFO didn't really need a lie detector. That's more of an 'out of nowhere' thing than Shinsou upgrading his quirk. AFO is cautious but also pretty arrogant- him not having a lie detector could've easily been handled by him just using search before popping in and thinking "Yeah the heroes are all too far away to able to spring a trap, so this is legit". It'd be extremely in character for him to be a bit paranoid but instantly feel assuaged by using any of the quirks he has stolen to cover his rear end.

I know it's come up (kind of) in vigilantes, but has Tsukauchi having a lie detector quirk ever even been brought up in the actual manga before All for One mentioned that his ancestor had one? Or is it just supplementary sources?

So this is speculation based on the issue having been released today. Keep thinking on what they're going to do to keep 'Eraserhead' around, and I think with him out of quirk commission, we might see someone else take on the mantle. His protoge has a quirk (and lbr, hair) that lends itself to that name, now can use his famous capture weapon, and was trained personally by him. What would speak to Aizawa's confidence in Shinsou more than giving the name over?

Eh, I think it's OK, specifically because it's Shinso. His deal for basically the entire manga was "train real hard in the background so that he will bring his abilities on the level of Hero course students and be able to join them one day". So him overcoming one of the limitations his quirk due to that training kinda works, just like him getting swole and half-way decent melee combatant during the "Class A vs Class B" arc worked.

Re-reading the chapter again and :lol: that Hawks's handler, Mera, has become the acting president of the HPSC. If Horikoshi wanted us to think that this won't end with a return to the status quo then maybe don't put the people who made Hawks and Nagant back into a position of power.

And while I get that the theme of the chapter is letting extras like Shinso or Monoma have their time to shine, Monoma being the one to use the teleport Quirk makes the whole subplot with Aizara and Shirakumo end in an unsatisfying way. For all the build-up about it in Vigilantes and in the main series, you'd think Aizawa and Present Mic would be able to get to him. But with how long this final battle's gonna be, maybe I'm wrong and Shirakumo's personality would resurface offscreen like everything else lmao.

Mera was not the one who made them. He's the tired guy who ran the Hero license test.

So did they evacuate the civilians somewhere else before transporting Shigaraki to UA? I guess they did mention being connected to Shiketsu, so maybe they're all there.

Deku getting yoinked into the wrong warp gate is a good way to start the final battle without just immediately going all in on Shigaraki vs Deku. Deku has to deal with the Nomu where he is (and figure out whatever the gently caress is going on with Toga) and everyone with Shigaraki has to hold him off until Deku can swoop in and save them.

Off the subject, I finally got a chance to watch the third movie on account of someone fansubbing the recent Japanese BD release. It was fine for the most part but I’m not sure why Bakugo and Todoroki were so prominent in the advertising when the real stars of the film are Deku and the movie exclusive character Rody (the former two do get their time in the spotlight to be fair though).

Also it irks me that both Mina and for some reason even Iida got benched for this one

If nothing else Bakugo and Todoroki were the only other cast members to even get their own one on one fights so that's something.

I quite liked it when I caught it on the big screen last year, Rody felt like an actual character instead of feeling like a disposable plot device as so many characters of his type tend to be in shonen jump movies.

Fair point and yeah, to be honest I kind of liked Rody and wouldn’t mind if they made him canon (he’s also the second character with a quirk that manifests as a separate entity after Tokoyami). Probably too late now though

I really liked the third movie, Rody is a really fun character and I liked his dynamic with Deku. I can totally see why he ended up so high on the last character poll. Putting characters like Mina and Iida on the bench was a bummer though. I don't even know why some had to sit out the action when it wasn't like the other students got a lot of screentime anyways.

I was super annoyed that those cool stealth suits you saw in all the ads were only used in the first 5 minutes of the movie and never again.

Especially Iida considering this seemed like a situation where speed would have been important (also Mina is awesome and deserves more screen time)

But otherwise this was probably the best thing to come out of the fifth season in my opinion
