Yeah, like I said before, All Might knows what All for One is going to do in advance and the opening move of the fight is still him losing two-thirds functionality of his armor blocking the attack he anticipated. oh jay posted:Even AFO in Tartarus was vulnerable to GUN™. Don't know why All Might's going so over the top here. Do you think All Might will just use Mina's acid to melt All for One?

Kanos posted:The concept of the quirk singularity - or something like it - being able to destroy society as everyone knows it is visible on-panel, completely independent of Doctor Robotnik. Shigaraki's disintegration propagation power can disintegrate an entire city full of people. Dabi has become what amounts to a living nuclear bomb. Twice was a human grey goo event in the making. There's ample evidence to support the idea that quirks are becoming so powerful that something catastrophic happening is functionally inevitable even outside of insane mad scientist experimentation or singular monsters like AfO. Three people who only reached that point because society failed them and in two cases All for One groomed them into it. There's also no solution to the genetic Quirk Singularity outside of don't have any more babies or destroy all quirks, neither of which is likely to be a solution. So the answer is, unsurprisingly, for society to have better systems in place to handle quirk development. Which hey, the narrative has hammered on hard with Toga and Endeavour's whole failure of a parenting method. Yes disaster (Eri, Shigaraki) can happen, but the solution is to develop systems to mitigate disaster, not turn into an evil mad scientist. I think MHA is likely to say that no quirk is so dangerous as to destroy society just for existing, it is what happens to those people and the harm society does to them that makes them dangerous, not who they are. Thirteen has the ability to generate Black Holes, and is not an existential threat to society. Nothing anyone else does comes close to "Makes Black Holes". We don't actually have many examples of quirks that are exceptionally dangerous just for existing except Eri. Shigaraki is the closest and we already have in universe technology to mitigate the danger, Ochako has special gloves that cover 2 fingers on each hand for when she wants to actually hold things without using her Quirk. In essence, villains are made, not born. Except apparently All for One, but he'd be a bastard quirk or no quirk I suspect. Lord_Magmar fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Aug 8, 2023 |

You know, considering the similarities between their Quirks, I'm surprised Ochako and Shigaraki have had zero interactions.

It's even odder when you consider Ochako's quirk and Nana's quirk. I'm not saying I expect anything there. I'd just be surprised if it was never considered.

ImpAtom posted:The chapter is pretty clear that the technology isn't letting him fight on All For One's level. The expectation going in is that it will buy only a few moments at best. Even just having the capacity to do damage to an opponent of that caliber is nuts, though. It's definitely precarious (since we see it lose a significant portion of its structure in a single attack), but I'm pretty sure you could also beat the vast majority of heroes/villains with that suit if you were reasonably competent as using it, simply because "able to withstand a single AfO attack and hit hard enough to hurt AfO" is absurdly powerful on its own, even if it isn't strictly as strong as something llike OfA itself. I mean, it's not a problem since this series basically operates off the "rule of cool" and a ton of silly things have been happening throughout this entire arc (like the shield around the floating UA).

I assume AFO in his cell was under like, ridiculous SCP-level containment protocols which would have probably dumped a hundred liters of sulfuric acid into the room after he got his head blown off, and possibly then have called in Endeavor to flash-sterilize the whole place. I suspect no personal firearm could reasonably stop him now.

The thing is, the heroes are tall and have attacks that are high up. Shiggy and AFO can see them coming. La Brava is short, she can just go for the ankles.

Being taller probably makes it easier to kick someone in their balls, because you don't have to kick as high (and the higher you do kick, the bigger the impact).

"Man attempts to sleep, but in the depths of his 29th hour awake he is visited by the thing that causes him the most pain. It keeps him awake. He cannot dream, save for this vexing creature. It calls to him. He cannot scream." OK so anyone else do anything fun this summer?

I like the touch that One for All is combining quirks randomly now, it creates a realistic opening for a veteran like All Might to exploit....but isn't the end result indistinguishable from what One for All's been doing this entire war. Dude's got 32 flavors of evil blast. Still tho, I think there's the potential for a good All Might send off here (desperate)

This is two recent chapters now to be under 10 pages. I like weekly chapters but i also dont want the author to die or the series to go to ratshit. The black clover writer switched to the jump quarterly magazine because the weekly time constraints werent working. maybe MHA should too. I think the weekly shonen jump should have a 2-3 month break every year just to let the authors breathe and plan out their storyboard for the year. The non-stop 20 pages a week is turning every 300+ chapter series into a dumpster fire. Only exception is the one piece guy and even he needs a week break per month.

Maybe more cycle breaks for authors throughout the year so there's not a quarter of the year where there's no magazine period.
