Maybe the shadowy big dude was just supposed to be that Noumu they had with them. And Horikoshi just changed up his design a bit by the time he properly debuted.

Maybe it was Muscular?

Is Ms Joke's name the English word for "Joke" or is it in Japanese? I'm guessing the former given how some of the other hero names have worked.

You see the most shocking sights sometimes
A nice touch I noticed during a re-read-- in the early chapters, Deku is shown writing with his right hand. After he fucks it up during the sports festival, the following chapters (at least up until 46, I haven't gone past those again) show him writing with his left. It most likely doesn't mean anything in the long run, but it's a nice little attention to detail.

He looked nothing like Muscular and Muscular was not a Stain follower.

He was the only one of the Stain followers shadowed (We saw all the others there, Dabi, Toga, Mustard and Spinner.) he will likley be showing up a bit later.

The Vigilantes spinoff is up on mangastream

Just an introductory chapter, but I like it! I was a little disappointed at first that Horikoshi wasn't writing this one (though I figure he gets consulted on the worldbuilding) but I like the idea of different people writing their own stories set in the MHA universe.

I enjoyed this chapter.

In particular, I enjoyed that there's at least one other dude who isn't in enrolled at U.A. who's still a force to be reckoned with. I also like how they're kinda sorta bringing back the problem of uniform testing for heroism. There are a lot of qualified kids out there who aren't gonna make the cut simply because this test kinda screws them over.

I hope that one guy with mind-control powers comes back.

Shinsou seems like he could dominate this if he wasn't picked out immediately. Get two people with his powers, demand that they walk over to him and let him take them out, bam, done.

And yeah, this reminded me a lot of Yueii's entrance exams in that regard too.

The Law? Law is a Human Institution.


I hope this doesn't cause Uraraka to have a diminished/less important/hurt part in the story because of this. She's such a fun character (Well, everyone in MHA is), and I hope this doesn't negatively influence the mangaka to cut her out or write her moving away or something.

That being said, when he was creating this, everyone told him how much they hated All Might, and that made him just put in even more All Might, so maybe it'll have the opposite effect.

And make those rotten girls pay for it.

Though an easily gamed survey shouldn't have to much pull on the authors hopefully. Might also be a reaction to her going "just a love interest" a little in the last couple chapters. Wouldn't hurt to get more development and focus.

It's interesting how that list is a pretty even mix of people you would expect and really odd choices. I imagine it's because the voters are generally polarized and tend to hate whatever the other half likes.
