Mirage posted:I can see Shiggy someday getting Deku to see his side; not that everyone in the world needs to die, but that the problematic world they live in needs to be rebuilt. Young Shigeru is very similar to young Deku, except instead of being encouraged to think like a hero by the best mom ever, he was discouraged by rear end in a top hat Dad. I’d be fine with that swap if shiggis original quirk was once in a lifetime perfect luck. I’m still of the opinion that dekus original quirk was something so useless and one shot that it accidentally let him meet All Might that day.

Kanos posted:I don't really consider that to be a damning indictment of society in and of itself. The same thing could have happened with literally any profession, because the problem is specifically a personal emotional trauma spawning further emotional traumas. There's an alternate universe where Shigaraki really wanted to be a pro soccer player and his dad beat the poo poo out of him(while his whole family watched from the sidelines) because Nana left him to go play for the Japan Women's National Team. Its the classic joker "everyone is just one bad day away..." reason that resonates so well when done right.

Plenty of heroic leading characters yell and scream and hit people for being unpleasant. He can grow into someone who is bombastic and rough around the edges but still makes civilians feel safe. I suspect whenever people talk about His growth they’re referring to him no longer bullying his childhood friend and toning down the aggression and toxicity with his friends and peers. A matured Bakugou in 10 years is more like Kamina: an absolute terror of optimism and violence but with a sharp mind guiding it.

The weekly MHA translation trivia always is fun to read, but also gives rise to the same question every week: Does the translator do the typesetting themselves? Is it a team who get digital copies of the original in a way that they can just turn off the speech bubbles(and SFX layers layers not embeded in the drawing)? Do they get to change the aspect ratios of the speech bubbles to account for the different space requirements for the text? I love the behind the scenes stuff.

I have to assume that the second, or maybe third, guy was just a basic strengthening quirk that subconsciously laid the seed for what All-Might would become famous for. All-Might could naturally use it because he was just a quirkless swoleman and it came naturally, and Deku instinctively first tapped it because he was imitating his hero.

Blaze Dragon posted:Vegeta fused with Goku twice. I think it's doable. It'd require a really bad situation and putting Bakugou's loved ones (...does he have loved ones?) in danger though. Bakugo, above all else, is a hero. If there was ever a situation where he needed to fuse in order to win (and someone had a quirk who could do that) he would take that in a second. Especially since that means he can fight harder. He will just scream and complain the whole time and forever after. You don't even have to endanger his classmates or his mom (who he clearly loves) On the other hand if you tried to convince him to save who he can and run away to fight another day he will punch you in the face, call you a coward, and save the day or die trying.

Conot posted:Fuse with someone, I can buy, but fuse with Deku? Bakugou has chilled but the idea that he has a fight where he can't clearly delineate what he did good and Deku did bad seems antithetical to his character, especially now that he knows Deku has OfA - it was just last chapter we had him loudly gloating about the most minor victory - that Deku has to learn flying but Bakugou can already do it via explosions. Oh absolutely. The Bakugo from when he was kidnapped needed Kirishima to tell him to jump rather then Deku. Since then enough has happened that next time he would jump when Deku calls out because he's smart enough to know better. He will never stop gloating, or acting without explanation, but the most consistent character trait that has pushed his growth is that he wants to be a hero like All Might. He's always cranked to 11 and still smart enough to know how to save people. On the arc of his character growth in the heat of the moment he will Always make the choices to try to save everyone like All Might would have. He's growing to be able to accept the competition and rise, but right now his motivation can be as shallow as "gently caress you thats why" to still do it in order to save the day.

Each twice clone can make its own twice clone and a toga clone, recursively. Imagine the shenanigans! I imagine Toga couldn't draw enough blood from a Twice clone to copy his quirk in transformation but if they were to show up prepared with dozens of vials of blood prepared ahead of time? A toga clone who is shifted into a twice clone who at a moments notice can bail and vanish into a crowd with some generic blood

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Hot drat that's an angry bunny. I like how even when the high ends smacked her, she still had enough power to literally kick one's head off. Rodenthar Drothman posted:The official tl is out, and I'm still kinda confused about Doc's arm - so was that nomu acting as his arm, and then it got kicked off, or something? That was an arm getting gibbed not a head. The Nomu just has mouths all over its joints As for the Doctors Arm Mocha jumped in from off panel and seems to have that quirk that liquefies you and teleports you a short distance with the grey water. A few panels back isn't the start of him bawling his eyes out, just the grey goo coming out of his eyes and nose. The way I read it from the panel is that the Doc starts to draw a gun with his left arm and before Miriku can liquefy it with a kick it gets liquefied and teleported by Mocha before the rest of his body follows, and Miriku ends up squishing poor Mocha's head in the following panel

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:I wouldn’t be surprised if Twice isn’t dead (no body no sell) but I fully believe he was severely injured and taken out of the fight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in custody by whoever survives this right Same, rather than a sword to the skull I think I got a nice sword through the shoulder and is probably missing an arm and passed out from blood loss. I suspect most of the league will escape this ambush but Twice will be captured, and alongside AFO and Kurogiri to be yet another lynch pin in their eventual breakout.

Maybe I missed something, but isn't it still suspected that best jeanist is just in hiding for 6 months and the dead body hawks brought was just a very advanced body double? Hawks killing him for real would be kinda brutal in retrospect, but would also fit his character so i'm conflicted.

They could have immediately teleported and recaptured him, until the moment all might showed up they're plan wouldn't have worked and neither would his solo escape. It wasn't well conveyed in either medium but that can be extrapolated.

I actually thought hawks was going to die there for a second. Gotta finally admit to myself that maybe twice is dead, but with the tide about to turn maybe the doctor can save his life so he can produce healthy clones while living out the rest of his life from a wheelchair. Or maybe his corpse becomes another highend. Dead or not I don't think we've seen the end of his quirk. Really hoping Miriko lives but has to spend the next three or four years teaching at UA while she recovers.

Jose posted:It's a shame because itd be funny if endeavour did kill dabi to save hawks then hawks told him who it was That would be a trip. "hey endeavour turns out the bad guy you just BBQd was actually your presumed-dead son!" Also is there a betting pool for Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo having to hold back Gigantomachia from reaching the town before the evacuation is complete? I don't see anyone beating the beastly this early in the story but the three of them fighting such a high ranked threat to a standstill right now would fit.

ZiegeDame posted:Contrast this situation to All for One, who absolutely represents a bigger danger to the public than Twice, but is still alive because All Might is actually capable of living up to the title of 'hero' on which this entire society is built. Which is why I want to see Hawks's misdeeds exposed, so the entire rotten edifice can come crumbling down and our protagonists can struggle to replace it with something better. Because that's a way more interesting story than "Killer Cop Saves Day, Leaves Trail of Bodies in Wake." In their epic showdown All Might wasn't trying to capture him alive, he failed to kill him because that was the win condition. Its unclear when All Might found out he had somehow survived having his skull caved into his torso like a Goomba.

Mystic Mongol posted:I mean, he could also have saved them by not leading them to arrest tens of thousands of members of an opposition political party through an attack that opened with destroying a third of their compound and got crazier from there. Cementoss blew down a ten story wall of the compound that presumably contained hundreds of rooms. I hope no one was in that side of the building. A hundred thousand people make a sizable voting block. A hundred thousand people in a cult make a very very strong voting block. Instead we have a hundred thousand people who chose to decide that just a bit of terrorism and violence was the right thing to do. You can't be ignorant of what happened in MVA at the city, that many people talk, especcially in a cult. Maybe you don't know the extent of how violent the leadership is as a mook, but you have pretty good idea that violence is not only allowed but encouraged both from the cult teachings and from the very public (to the members) events so far. Will the survivors get more radical? The true believers will, most will be scared shitless and at least go underground or try to resume their normal lives if their a nameless mook who isn't on a wanted list. That would be a big win for the rest of law abiding society. Blockhouse posted:poo poo dude better just stealth drone strike the targets then Exactly, they're making a big deal of assaulting a terrorist gathering in order to arrest them rather than just premptively murdering everyone. Mystic Mongol posted:Sometimes they can be super great, though. There was a scene in an old Captain America where he's fighting a bunch of Nazi Sewer Mutants in a basement on the way to rescue an old soldier's boyfriend. And while he's fighting them he all, where did these horrible nazi sewer mutants come from, and a sidekick says they've been mutated by Red Skull's evil nazi science. So Captain America realizes these are all just normal american citizens who have been mutated, and he throws down his shield and gives a super patriotic speech about how no matter what evil juices have been pumped into them, they're all still Americans! They can work together to do the right thing, which is part one stop red skull, part two find a cure. And all the mutants say "raaaargh" because they don't have vocal cords any more, but they're so moved by his faith in them that they overcome the mind influencing chemicals and follow him upstairs to fight the Red Skull and save the hostage. That is incredibly dumb and swing the opposite way on the dumb superhero stories scale.

Arist posted:That's definitely true. If I remember correctly there are a bunch of different levels of restrictions on quirks. There is quirk licencing for using your quick for business, separate from hero work. Equivalent to getting a drivers licence for big trucks. Uraraka was originally going to do this but there would be more money in hero work so she went for that instead. You can use your quirk in self defense but the cops are still gonna question you because its still a crime scene. And what the series focuses on, a hero licence is a really big deal because it allows you to use your quirks unrestricted, in public, on other people unlike the more industrial licences. Thats a huge deal. Giving people who aren't part of the offical police force the right to use any level of force they deem necessary is a big responsibility. The MLA on the other hand wants you to be able to use your quick on your boss to take control of the company, and for that to be the norm.

The MLA are explicitly “I should be allowed to fight my boss for the right to be the boss” social Darwinism cult of violence. It’s why trying to paint them as innocent in all this falls so flat.

The Lord of Hats posted:Man, that's a really good "Everything is hosed now" chapter. The proper way to do it is to respect the actual speed of the cataclysm. Whole thing 30-60 seconds of high speed expanding decay wave as the camera zooms out. This whole chapter could fit in that if you add in A few minutes of lead up of the kids Evacing the city. Then you slow down and focus on everybody's reaction once it’s over, and run credits over silent montages of everybody weeping and overcome with horror. If you spend time on it it ruins the gut punch.
