Manatee Cannon posted:I don't read vigilantes so the end of this chapter falls a bit flat for me You should fix that by reading Vigilantes. They just had a big arc all about who that guy is, why he's so important to Eraserhead, and why Eraserhead is generally the way he is. I do wonder how the anime is going to handle this when they reach this part in a few years.

Two-episode side story for specifically that arc, probably. There's no other (major) Vigilantes characters in it, just Present Mic, Eraser, and Midnight, so there's no need to establish character backstory or anything, and they can present it as a flashback.

amigolupus posted:This is just really weird. So Kurogiri's a Nomu. But we know Nomus are just mindless dolls, while we've seen Kurogiri show sentience and character. So does that mean Kurogiri's some sort of super special prototype?

Man, Aizawa is going to use his quirk to turn off the mist around Kurogiri and we're gonna see a hosed up corpse underneath, aren't we?

He disabled Kurogiri's quirk temporarily during the USJ raid and that didn't happen, he just couldn't make portals.

Still, we probably are going to see what he looks like under that mist soon. Also, am I crazy or was there totally a fan theory that called Shirakumo being Kurogiri? Then again, I feel like everyone has had at least one "is THIS character actually Kurogiri!?" theory about them at some point or another, so at least one of them had to be right eventually.

Vigilantes spoiler: Cloud Boy's head was crushed by falling debris, right? So this is probably not the same person (though almost certainly the same body, which is ghoulish but it is AfO after all).

I think I was just misremembering a bad fan translation, but I recall Aizawa mentioning that he blinked and Kurogiri took the opportunity to warp over to the kids. He might have just meant like "in the blink of an eye", not literally.

Honestly, I'm surprised Vigilantes ended up being as good as it is. The early chapters were really rough, especially when it comes to Pop Step. IIRC, the first chapter had her being threatened with sexual assault, and she didn't really contribute much of anything to the plot or the heroics. The story only got to have fun with Pop when Makoto entered the scene and helped out with the whole mall singing gig.

My theory is that AFO just stole Shirakumo's Quirk posthumously and it merged with Kurogiri's natural quirk to create Warp Gate... But that begs the question of if AFO can steal Quirks posthumously.

Vigilantes is like five or six years before the main series. All Might's already had his fight against All For One, and Aizawa is in his twenties.

There is no way that we're not getting the festival. You can't stretch Overhaul and Remedial Exam into 2 full cours. I'm a little bummed since I was originally thinking we could get through Overhaul in 12 episodes but I don't think that's happening. I can't imagine them spending literally 2 whole episodes on Kirishima because that whole thing is like 5-6 chapters though. Edit: lol, they didn't read the manga's visuals right so it looks like Eraserhead just breaks the Food guy's neck when what he does is knock him out with a feint into an elbow strike to the back of the head in the manga.

I honestly think Gentle's fight with Deku is one of the best in the series. They could have a lot of fun with it.

As much as I appreciate JB or ReadMS' quick translations, their translations have issues that waiting for the official translation seems to be more worth it. That said, god bless All Might and his dad puns.

I could be off, but I seem to recall them saying Kurogiri is kinda weird in that most of his "body" is just black mist in its entirety, with only a small "core" area he has to actually worry about, so I don't think the reveal is gonna be ghoulish to that extreme, just a reveal that AfO took the quirk from his corpse

Blockhouse posted:the dark secret of shonen manga is that no one in the business was better at depicting the flow of action than Akira Toriyama and nobody since him has really been great at it Hunter X Hunter is also good with action, though it's largely because it does battles in this way where they usually take place in dramatic slow motion with a ton of exposition about exactly what is happening and the mindset of the characters as it happens. This works largely because the mechanics and "logic" of the battles are good and consistent.

Yeah I don't need a TED talk on how your setting''s magic martial arts power works it just needs to meet the bare minimum of being consistent. Bakugou's sweat explodes? Okay, that's all I need to know. The mechanics of ki never came up in Dragonball until Super and it was fine for it

Is it something that can be taught?
