I really like how Shigaraki despises Deku and Stain for having ideals stemming from All Might and then it turns out his motivation is just as focused around All Might as theirs. It's interesting. I'm glad I finally have a reason to like Shigaraki.

I like that Shigaraki is still wrong because he's a big idiot baby who hates everything, even if he's still gotten his spirit back.

2 things I appreciate about these two chapters. First, everything is all about All Might. He's the most well known, biggest deal around. Everyone knows All Might. He's the central figure of this world of heroes and villains, on both sides. Narratively, shonen manga have had a history of making a single character the center of attention who solves everyone else's problems for them, and this isn't always good storytelling. However, the fact that this is an in-universe thing rather than a story crutch make it a lot better. Plus, he's not the main character. We're following a student and one of the many people who look up to All Might. That and he's on the verge of retirement (or more likely, a dramatic and tragic death) already. The world apparently rests so much on All Might that it's going to have an enormous impact either way. Second, I like that we've seen Shigaraki's face. It wasn't exactly with NO fanfare, because this was a pretty tense situation for Midoriya and Uraraka, but it was mostly a low-key reveal, which makes it less of a big deal later. Characters with parts of their face hidden tend to get "unmasked" in some big climactic reveal, but this wasn't really anything like that. Now we know for sure what his Quirk is, and we know what the guy looks like under the hands, so it won't be treated like some ongoing mystery (by the characters OR the fans) later on.

I liked Shigaraki trying to play casual and walk away at the end and still managing to look creepy as gently caress. Kid is messed up. Also Uraraka spinning in place trying to figure out what to do was adorbs. You don't know anything, Aoyama!

The world apparently rests so much on All Might that it's going to have an enormous impact either way. Yeah, people've compared All Might to Dr. Manhattan before, and it's pretty apt; he didn't bring about a scientific revolution or anything, but his existence in and of itself is a massive deterrent and warps society in a big way. Which means that, if/when he dies, however it happens (Shigaraki or one of AfO's goons doing it is a possibility, but so is him just succumbing to his condition now that OfA's being passed on), things should really, really change. Unrelated, my favorite little detail in this was the Hero Killer masks in what's either a costume shop or a Hot Topic-equivalent. That's pretty great.

Speaking of those hero killer masks. It is hella hosed up that those are apparently being sold somewhere. You'd think there'd be huge protests or something.

Thanks for reminding me of one of the reasons Iida is cool and this series is good. "So what if I got owned and called out for my hypocrisy? Yeah he was right and I was loving up, but he is still on the whole wrong."

The look on Uraraka's face at "Let him... go?" made it seem like something had temporarily snapped inside her and she was contemplating doing something violent if Midoriya hadn't stopped her. That whole scene was filled with incredible tension from the beginning to the end, especially the part where Shigaraki went in his own thoughts and started choking Midoriya without even thinking. What an incredibly, incredibly dark scene, for a shounen manga!! Also a great detail was how Uraraka called 911 at the end asking for a hero to come. She knows she's still in school and that a real live villain is something you need to call the professionals for. Good job!!

gnome7 posted:His ability might not need him to keep in contact, if I am reading it right. It might be like some kind of fast-acting rot - once it starts working, it keeps doing its thing until what he touched has turned to dust. I think this is probable. If he had to keep hold of Midoriya the whole time he'd get pulverised by OfA before he could do much.

Possibly/probably, but keep in mind he's wearing one of those hoodies with the big center pockets you can reach into/through from either side. Definitely an awkward angle for that given the image, but doable. Batigh fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Dec 1, 2015 |

Welp it happened, Mangstream picked it up. http://readms.com/r/my_hero_academia/070/3095/1 Spoilers: Mangstream's translation kinda sucks. Fantastic chapter otherwise.

Yeah, That bit with Shinsou was really interesting. Also drat that felt like 2-3 chapters. So many good faces and pages, I don't even know where to start.

"Personalities" is a really, really bad translation for quirks/powers/whatever. The translation in general feels a bit... Off. It's not egregiously grammatically incorrect or anything, but some of the characters' voices feel wrong, and there are moments, like the little flashback to Shigaraki's dialogue from the last chapter, that, despite being technically correct, are also really, really wrong. Hopefully this improves over time, because it doesn't seem like FA's going to be able to keep up the pace.Fabricated posted:Actual Spoilers: Oh hey, Shinsou maybe getting a transfer being very vaguely implied?

FA should just keep translating it anyway since despite everything I've been annoyed about with their translation Mangastream's seems like absolute poo poo.
