ZenMasterBullshit posted:Yeah imagine if Goku pulled out a new form he learned offscreen or just got stronger out of nowhere mid fight or even just started busting out techniques of his allies and teachers he saw One Time before using. Vegeta should've kept doing Destructo Disks though, that ruled. We're all gonna be mad hosed when Koichi starts shaping his energy and he turns it into All-Might as a Stand. It dramatically loses out in power compared to the real thing but he's got fists the size of mailboxes so it'll help.

Mina is going to learn how to excrete other chemicals from her skin and start exploding like Bakugo.

TheKingofSprings posted:If you aren't ok with powers being pulled out the rear end at least once in a while quit reading shonen manga forever Yeah, the "once in a while" seems like the operative term here. When it was just one power being pulled out, that wasn't so bad. But Koichi just kept getting new powers for the whole fight and it went past "Oh, cool!" to "...Seriously?"

Just a cut to one of the villains horrifically burned to death from Mina’s acid, and that’s it. Whoever is the least likable at this point

It isn't really comparable to a new technique. It's comparable to finding unusual or new ways to use your existing technique. It's more like how Goku can suddenly make Kamehamehas that remain where they are until he throws them or shoot them from his feet or whatever, not like Goku going Super Saiyan. It's the exact same technique used in different ways and that is a good recipe for super hype moments. (See also: Tony Hawk's Pro Kamehameha.)

It'd be like if Spider-Man decided he could just not have his webs stick to things immediately and started ricocheting them around corners or hallways or something. Or Bakugou being able to sweat out of his feet and doing an exploding dropkick out of the blue.

aren't the two big koichis powerups directly related to his friends like his flight is basically how pops thing works and then knuckle style is pretty obvious and then the rest were just stuff he was already doing right (ultra instinct dodge and shielding with repulsion? we're there more?) seems like it thematically tracks with it being a culmination of his experiences throughout the series and ending with the two big ones being direct references to the two people who were central to it

I mean, Deku literally leaned how to repurpose a quirk that wasn't even his to work with his feet instead of his hands. I can imagine Bakugo figuring out Explosion Murder Kick if he's ever not wearing boots.

Obtaining bullshit powerups in the middle of a battle due to the power of friendship, love, and from your mentor/sensei is like a triple shonen score, yes. The issue for me isn't that the power-ups occurred. It's that they all occurred in the same battle that was already running long with ever-increasing scope and stakes. It gets a bit exhausting, and becomes less cool when you're saturated with upgrades. Basically, I just have an issue with the pacing.

You do know that Spider Man does poo poo like that all the time, right? "Oh I had a new formula of web that lets me make a boat" And the other one would be entirely reasonable.

There's also (I think it's on viz) a hilarious mini series about a guy getting isekai'd into yamcha at the beginning of dragon ball.

I assume we'd have found out Aoyama was the traitor there, but the cast doesn't, and the Aoyama/Deku scene later on in the story makes a lot more sense for the reader instead of being a bizarre distraction.

Yeah during Forest Training he suggested the Villains were coming so the ratings plummeted, and his editors encouraged him to rush the arc.

Absolutely baffling, like the slice of life thing take it or leave it (personally I'd love it) you can't do good superhero stories without equally good rogue's gallery. That's just like, basic super hero rules.

Also, he's a drawing so people don't have to deal with how ridiculously disgusting to look at, smell and be around in general he would be.

I remember seeing an interview years ago where Horikoshi mentioned that he had ideas for a Shouji arc(and maybe a Mina one too) and now I'm wondering how many side characters had arcs or moments cut due to editorial pressure or fear of losing popularity.

It is absolutely nuts that the entire trajectory of what wound up being a decade-long story was altered by people not sending in some loving postcards or whatever. The character poll results alone should disqualify reader opinions on anything.
