I just finished reading Vigilantes from the beginning, as I'd only jumped in around chapter 60. So friggin good; it will be a god drat travesty if it never gets animated.

That post went quite well, I think.
Compass Kid is actually quirkless, he just memorizes maps of the cities he patrols. He has one of those thinkgeek ankle bracelets that vibrates to north.

I know this is halfway in the wrong thread, but I just caught up on the latest season of My Hero Academia anime series and was wondering how far ahead the story of the manga is compared to the anime? Any notable differences in the manga story that make it worth starting from the beginning, or was the anime adaptation pretty faithful?

Revelry in the Dark

Anime is basically a one for one recreation of the manga with minor changes here and there. The manga is a solid three story arcs ahead, with the current one beginning to wind down somewhat. The anime just ended on chapter 193, and the manga releases chapter 270 tomorrow

Yeah, the anime is a faithful adaptation that doesn't really re-arrange/change anything. Minus some moments where stuff like specific Nakamura cuts are done, the manga will be pretty 1:1 for what you've seen.

The anime will most likely get to what we're seeing now in the fifth season.

That two page spread is loving incredible.

The page that reveals who each of the hands were, holy poo poo.

The cut to Deku seemingly frozen, aware that he's coming. Good chapter.

Wait, did we know All For One could create copies of quirks instead of stealing them? I thought he had to lose one to give it to someone else.

Yeah, the doctor has some trick that lets him create copies of quirks. How he's done it exactly isn't clear, but he has both that and the ability to implant quirks without AFO (albeit not quite as swiftly or easily apparently).

The Doctor was the one who could create copies.

Also Shigaraki was revived by being electocuted.

I think the doctor's copying & implanting is done purely through mad science, which is why it takes longer and requires so many Tubes. He's presumably been doing nothing but researching & experimenting on the genetic factor of quirks so...

Any chance that's just AfO activating? Lightning effects have been used for both AfO and OfA Full Cowl.

Before reading this chapter, I was very skeptical of Deku's seven quirks but now that we know Shigaraki has AFO, it makes sense. The final battle will be a huge clash of multiquirks.

Also, speculating on the far future of the plot: Given Hori's focus on hands throughout this entire manga, I feel like the final battle between Deku and Shigaraki is going to involve Deku reaching out to take Shigaraki's hand and Shigaraki somehow not disintegrating him. Or at least Deku attempts to :v:

Page 17 ends with a panel of the power tube crackling and zapping the puddle. The next turn has Shiagaraki's body contorting very similarly to if he just received a massive shock.
