They mentioned when moving into the temp dorms that they would've been second year by now if all this poo poo hadn't gone down. Crazy that My Hero Academia can't even do a single Academia.

Crazy that My Hero Academia can't even do a single Academia. I think they mention something like this at the start of the current anime season? I was confused, myself. Edit: to be fair, the school conceit was abandoned, anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Prowler fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Oct 6, 2022 |

They were basically at the end of their first year when the war arc happened and by now they would have been in the beginning of their second year if society hadn't collapsed. Remember that the last normal thing they did before the war was their little class Christmas party. Rhonne fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Oct 6, 2022 |

If things were a little better planned I think the story should have spread out on the timeline so theyd be 3 or 4 years in, and it would be more believable that the students got stronger in time for this war I get the impression they may have wanted things to run through more full in-universe school years

Most of the school stuff was an interminable series of tournament arcs, very occasionally broken up by good unique stuff(the school festival). Class A vs B was really the poster child for the problem he was starting to run into - you can only have the class members fight each other with no stakes in so many ways before it starts to get incredibly boring.

I know it's nearly impossible for a shonen but I honestly think the strongest moments of the series were where the fights were secondary or didn't matter and they had to deal with problems like "extremely annoying children" or the school festival. Those moments also allowed the less combaty members to shine.

Them learning and practicing were always great. Unfortunately literally half the time they had any school activity it was invaded by villains and it turned into the other thing.

I mean, that's basically the trademark of Jump's famous Ashirogi Muto creative team. It's been done. It's just trickier to pull off, and when you're on a weekly deadline, trickier to pull off doesn't leave you much room to improvise, so it falls by the wayside in most longer series.

Let me rephrase: i dont want the series to be longer or padded out with extra boring school content. I want more in-world time to skip between events shown in the manga so the characters can be stronger and cooler. As for what Horikoshi wanted, I think early on he may have thought he could write the story for longer but somewhere around the class A vs B arc he/the editors started to make plans to wrap things up. I don't know. I'd just buy the final war effort being headlined by the students more if they were seniors or whatever.

If you just timeskip a lot without showing anything in between, nothing really changes about the series beyond "Class A is 18 instead of 16". Like I guess you might get some slightly older character designs out of it but nothing else would really change.

That team is also explicitly a pair working together, with one half working exclusively on the writing and plotting. Also see Eyeshield 21/Dr. Stone. If Hori had a writer I think this series could've pulled off a lot better the stuff that's been discussed this past page. But at the same time I don't think he would've conceded to share autonomy over his work.

It also lets you have stuff happen offpanel without devoting a 20-chapter arc to it. This especially allows secondary characters (e.g., Momo, Kirishima, Ojiro, Sero) to develop and change, and leaves a lot of "negative space" that's fertile ground for the fans and/or animation adaptation to go wild filling in that space.

Having important stuff that shapes and helps the characters grow happen off-panel or getting filled in by fanfiction/anime movies that come out years after the fact isn't really something I'd be terribly excited about, especially since one of the primary problems a lot of people in this thread have with the manga right now is that most of the characters get no on-panel growth.

I can only hope that we never see Shigaraki's 7 layer dip of bullshit or if we do all it is him owning himself over and over again because he doesn't know how to use any quirk besides his own.

Is the implication that All for One was so upset that someone with a "weak" quirk challenged him that he started loving crying? Because that's hilarious.

Funny that he's relying on hulked out Spinner to save him and not his old body that is currently running around in its prime. I hope when All For One inevitably sacrifices Spinner to save himself, it's what finally causes Shiggy to fully rebel against him. You can't kill his gamer buddy!

Honestly, given the combination of quirks in OfA I can kinda see how All Might wound up with super strength. He wasn't consciously tapping into anything specific but I could see a mix of these quirks expressing as super strength.

Shinjobi posted:Honestly, given the combination of quirks in OfA I can kinda see how All Might wound up with super strength. He wasn't consciously tapping into anything specific but I could see a mix of these quirks expressing as super strength. The Super-Strength is explicitly the strength stockpiling quirk, although All Might may have been using other stuff without realising (it's pointed out he was super natural with One for All's absurd physical power so he might not have even noticed what he was doing). But like, the additional quirks are on top of a super strength thing that comes from the strength stockpile quirk which is the quirk AfO gave to his seemingly quirkless brother (whose quirk was actually similar to All for One's quirk, except One for All can only be willingly given to another alongside any quirks it has collected). In theory, Izuku's now using those additional quirks besides the strength stockpile, to make up for the fact that he flat out cannot use the same level of physical force All Might could in his prime.

What's funny is that AFO and OFA were a late addition to the story when the series was being developed but I actually think they're a good dynamic in terms of explaining the mindset of heroes and villains in the purest sense.

okay it's very funny to have deku detail meticulously how he's comboing his quirks and then have the second be like "so you see all for one it was never about the meta abilities themselves, it's about why people use them." I get the intent but those probably should have been not on the literal same page. also somehow in the speedscans it went over my head that AFO could literally see and talk to the OFA ghosts and that bizarrely feels sillier than whatever I had previously inferred (which I guess was that they were both separately monologuing at each other about relevant points despite not being able to hear each other; maybe I have been watching too much g-reco). I guess a reckoning between AFO and the brother he betrayed was always obviously in the offing given quirk ghosts but I assumed it'd be more of a final grace note after AFO's defeat.
