Been reading through the entire thing again (thanks for the chap. 1 link, gnome7!). It's been a hell of ride. You know what I really want? For Iida's big brother to not be a pretentious douche. We see it all the time, not just in Asian culture, but sometimes even in Western media. I know that academics is a hugely competitive subject in Japan, but I've grown so tired of the "why can't you be more like your older sibling" trope. I just want Iida's parents to be staunch but supportive and for his brother to have a "normal" relationship with him. I can't help it; he may not be my favorite character, but he's so honest and likable I can't not root for him a little. God forbid he have a loving Uchiha complex.

I get the feeling that won't be the case, if only because Midoriya and Uraraka's parents were cool and the recent chapters made it a point that Endeavor was a lovely parent. Also, Iida seemed pretty affectionate when he talked about his family. Then again, neither Midoriya nor Uraraka have Top 10 hero pedigrees... crap. Yeah, I'm with you. Hopefully Iida's not kidding himself and his family's alright.

Even though it's only been for like three students (four including Iida) out of the class, I love how Academia's been fleshing out each student's relationship with their parents.

Horikoshi seems to be setting most of the primary characters up with distinct motivations towards heroism. Midoriya wants to live up to the image of All Might. Bakugou wants to live up to his own image he has built up. Uraraka's motivations towards heroism has pretty much nothing to do with Iida/Midoriya's heroic ideals or living up to a supposed image she has of herself- she wants to take care of her family. Todoroki wants to leave his pedigree behind and get out of his dad's shadow. Iida wants to live up to his and stand with his family. So basically he seems to be aiming for a lot of dichotomy here. I dunno if we'll get too far into the motivations of the other students; I'd love to see some more secondary cast get screentime/development but who knows.

Speaking of Navelgun, I don't think if anybody mentioned it here but the first translation of his power was wrong. If he overuses his laser his stomach won't collapse, he just gets an acute case of the runs. Yup.

That makes more sense because Deku's quirk actually straight up hurting him seems to be kind of an anomaly. Even Todoroki's power was only causing him issues because he wasn't using the whole thing.

Like Aizawa isn't going to die from Super DryEye from over use of his powers, and Uraraka isn't going to float into the sky and suffocate; someone's stomach collapsing if they overuse their powers is a little more severe then usual

Uraraka's downside is nausea, to the point of vomiting. 's not very healthy, and can cause quite a bit of health issues. Grape boy is one example of another that's harmful, as I hear potentially severe bleeding from your skull can lead to problems. Like dying from blood loss. Electric boogaloo's frying his Brain could very well cause permanent damage as well. Deku's limitation is more severe and upfront, but that goes for his power as well. Every action and all that. Have power of 100? Expect feedback of 100 as well. Torodoki cheats by having most downsides of one of his half being negated by his other half. Endeavor being a Min-Maxer in his child creation and all that. Gotta keep rolling them dice until he gets those 18s.

In most cases it'd need sustained overuse to leave long-lasting harm. Yes, Bakugou, Electrodude, Icyhot, Grapes, Uraraka and Navelgun's powers all have the potential for self-harm (frostbite or burns in Icyhot's case, just plain old burns for Bakugou), but it's gonna take some good effort to get there. The whole 'quirks are another bodily function' thing applies here: You can create some severe harm to yourself by pushing your body to the limit for a long time (see: every high-performance athlete ever), but it's gonna take months or years. Meanwhile Deku's quirk can leave long-lasting harm within the span of a few minutes. Kyte fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Apr 30, 2015 |

A testament to the raw power of OfA. I wonder if we'll see much more of the tournament, or whether we'll see interactions with Noumu(sp?) and/or Man-Child.

Well, the coming of quirks was heralded by the birth of a glowing baby, so, perhaps age four is just the usual/latest they show up. I think something to that effect was stated, that they are expected to manifest by four years old.

More thoughts: The thing that stuck with me for several chapters after All Might transferred his power to Deku was...that his hair was "surprisingly sour".   I want a Kamui Pez dispenser.  All Might might have had one too, but it was discontinued after numerous complaints of consumers getting their thumbs punctured by his hair.I want to know what Principal Bearmousedog's quirk is. Besides being a bearmousedog. e: Also I just realized that we can see No. 13's eyes on his helmet; I thought it was just glare. He just became a little more adorable.

I wonder if transferring OfA has to be willing or can it be unwilling. Like if someone bites Deku and accidentally gets some of his blood in their mouth and swallows it, will they steal his OfA? I don't remember if that was mentioned

It's been brought up once or twice in this thread but the general consensus is that would be a pretty terrible caveat and it would make no sense for All Might to not have told him that at some point so the speculation never really goes very far.

Given how great the manga's been so far and that it's supposed to be a pastiche of western superhero things, I think I'm willing to forgive a plot hole here and there. Plot holes are a time-honored tradition in western superhero comics, after all. http://imgur.com/a/yEjCv (It's the pointed look at the reader that does it.)

Stallion Cabana posted:I wonder if transferring OfA has to be willing or can it be unwilling. It pretty obviously has to be willing. When he introduces One For All, he calls it "the power to transfer power", which is a pretty big sign, to me, that the power can't just be taken, it needs to be given.

Incidentally, I wonder if Mineta's power came before or after his character design? He strikes me as the sort of character that the author might have doodled just for fun, and then wondered "Huh, I wonder what power this guy could have? Oh maybe it has something to do with his funny afro?!"

Sorry for double posting, but I found another Bakugou+Uraraka "love to hate" fanart. Sorry not sorry for the slapdash translation job done in Paint What Bakugou said in the last panel is actually an idiom like "Security is the worst enemy" or something. kinmik fucked around with this message at 19:08 on May 7, 2015 |

It's not shipping, it's frienemies. Also, I did this using Kinmik's translation as a base. Tell me if I took too many liberties. Also what's a good public domain substitute font for Wildwords? Because the one place I could get it without paying like $75 looked sketchy and ready to fill my computer with every type of malware.

Son, if you wanna see obsessive shipping I reckon you should take a gander at the Steven Universe thread. That there is something to make yer eyeballs asplode. In only a slightly more serious vein, some people just enjoy peeking a bit more into the subtext, sometimes they only see what they want to, sometimes they completely fabricate a romantic relationship out of what would otherwise not be one in the canon because it's good fun (sometimes not). Point is, people like different things from you and that is okay. Level Slide, you are good people. \/\/\/That's really cool but... Huh, what's that all the way at the bottom? quote:Links: Planet Typography - On snot and fonts
