Guess this is Dabi's "I never saved anything for the swim back" moment. I never really much cared for the Todorokis, but I have to admit their plot at least came together pretty cohesively by the end here. I even get why Shoto would want to "save" him, or at least what that would mean - Dabi wants to lay both of their bodies out at their father's feet, so going suicidally hard at his younger brother right now fulfills both goals. To defeat Dabi and resolve the consequences of his father's actions, Shoto has to both protect himself and, ideally, stop Dabi from killing himself as well. Your mileage is really going to vary depending on your patience for adolescent angst and sins of the father themes, but at least it's coherent.

I do like the reveal that he is not only the ultimate fail son, but also the explanation for why he's kept around despite being a gently caress-up wildcard. He's like a character with the berserk status: he may not listen to you, but at least you know he's going to take out a few of your enemies before he ultimately falls.

Just lol that Dabi is so good at loving up plans of his villain friends, that he wasn't even able to die when he was supposed to.

It would be the ultimate culmination of a lifetime of failure if he can't even kill himself in the end. Like, I'm not even sure how he survives this considering what he's already done to himself in this chapter, but I'm sure Shoto will find a way.

Shoto is actually holding a bowl of udon ready to serve it to Dabi as the battle reaches the peak.

Yeah that kind of nails it. I like the sub plot, I especially liked it from Endeavor and Dabi's perspective. It's been handled well overall, but IcyHot is boring as hell most of the time and since he's supposed to be our protagonist in that tale it feels a bit flat.

I can't believe it but I actually would've liked to see the Shouya Todoroki mystery focused on more, just to build more of a relationship between Dabi and Shoto on Shoto's end.

Even in his breakdown in the hospital, it was less 'Toya being alive magically fixes the family' and more 'stop moping around, and help us save our eldest son'. I can only hope it sticks the landing by having Endeavor and Rei get divorced by the end so everyone can just move on with their lives. Oxxidation posted:Dabi’s winning the bad guy race at this point because he’s like the only one left on the whole roster with a coherent motive other than “wanna be evil” I don't like Dabi, but this is sadly true. Maybe in a better timeline, MHA would've focused on Spinner, Magne and Compress instead. Spinner gets to deal with the racism heteromorphs face from society, Magne focuses on how her Quirk is actively harmful to her gender identity, and Compress had that whole 'my dad was a master thief' thing that sounded interesting.

Compress is a stage magician, there's no amount of "ills of society" or "awful childhood" that would make him anything other than a despicable monster.

despite doing little to nothing the entire comic, compress remains the most entertaining villain because he had both panache and dignity, which no other villain has had except gentle criminal

It's kind of sad that Compress put on his greatest magic show ever by compressing his own rear end to help save the league but no one in the league gives a single poo poo about him at all besides Spinner.

If you go back and read the rear end Compress arc you can see Compress’s originally planned storyline vanish before your very eyes.

The Dabi plotline is by far the most interesting villain story. Shigaraki really fizzled when he became a vessel for whatever broken power he could make up and no clear focus or goals other than random distruction.

To be fair, Shigaraki's past and present issues are both "gently caress you dad" to a degree. He just kinda killed one dad and is apparently cool with the other taking over his body now. Or something. I dunno.

I mean, manga is a really bad medium for fights in general, to the point where I'm genuinely puzzled as to how this genre took off. I remember trying to read Hellsing like 10 years ago and literally staring at pages for minutes without being able to work out what was supposed to be going on in them. MHA isn't as extreme, but I'll still always prefer anime for fightboys shounen.

I don’t think manga inherently sucks for action but you probably have to be really, really good at conveying action to make it flow as good as a well made cartoon like Akira Toriyama does.

This is about the most readable Horikoshi's action has ever been tbh, lol. The thing to learn from Toriyama is that less is more- half of his efforts were literally just to draw less stuff.

Can’t remember who but I remember watching a video essay that really made me appreciate the effort toriyama puts into panel composition. things like the trail of someone’s aura as they fly in for an attack leading your eye across the page do a lot for helping make a dynamic but comprehensible action sequence.

Murata tends to do an excellent job with One-Punch man. I never find myself puzzling out the action--in this, however, even with clean rips, I often get lost.
