Why did Deku's toe shine in the very first chapter as if it was about to activate? It seems weird to just have that just to introduce the reason behind mutant powers.

I liked T&B and still sad they never got sequel for the anime. However does this feature long-winded battles which may or may not take up multiple chapters at a time? Because I don't have time for that :v:

For example, I liked Magi before it got all stuck with the flashbacks and annoying MAGIC battles featuring OP skills that never seem to work 100% to take out enemies. There's only so many special attacks I can take before I just wish I never started reading this.

Well those long winded fights generally start popping up towards the middle and end of a series lifetime, so there's no 100% guarantee that Academia will end up the same way since it still hasn't even cleared 50 chapters. But what we have so far has been pretty nice and concise.

Something I just noticed: did Todoroki's design change significantly since his introduction in the bomb defense trial? I just checked the older chapters, and half his body was encased in ice back then, like some sort of ice golem. Now, he just looks like a normal dude. Was that ever explained, or did the author just quietly change it?

I gotta say, what initially drew me to this manga was the great designs and expressions for pretty much everyone - I can immediately spot Deku and explosion dude, not to mention all the mutants. The girls are easily discernible, too - in fact, the creation girl at first only stood out because she seemed to be the only NORMAL one. So I'm not much of a fan of Todoroki. He's... got a burn scar, and a pretty expressionless face. Not a fan. Also that hardening dude, who seems to have no features whatsoever until he uses his power... Oh well.

I really hope Uraraka wins, her power is loads of fun & it's always fun to see explosion dude get taken down a peg!

He creates the ice half specifically for his superhero outfit.

I want Bakugou to win and then just challenge Deku for the hell of it. Also presumably all of Bakugou's liquids have the possibility to explode.

Bakugou's final climax of the story will be igniting his entire body in one giant kamikaze attack to save the world.

The explosion will billow upwards like the most defiant of middle fingers.

Bakugou coming to Yuuei and being around a bunch of other kids with strong quirks or "heroic willpower" or what have you really changed the guy. After that first loss to Midoriya he still put on the loud, abrasive, no-fucks-given persona, which I'm sure is still mostly genuine, but he started actually paying attention to the others and has turned into the most hyper-observant student in Class A. He's way sharper than those first 10 chapters would have you believe. Obviously he's gonna notice Midoriya aping his moves but whenever he sees something outrageous happen with one of the others, he just sort of silently takes note of it. Sometimes while grinding his teeth. Chapter 1 Bakugou probably would've just said "pfft whatever gently caress that guy I'm the best" and explodopunched a wall or something.

Bakugou is literally doing the same exact thing deku is doing to him: copying the gently caress out of his MO and it's hilarious

Honestly I've always thought Trigger was the perfect studio to do the MHA anime. The manga's style just screams the same aesthetics they love to do. All they'd have to do is keep Imaishi in a cage to make sure he doesn't plague it with his tendencies imo.

...really? Because MHA just *screams* Imaishi to me.

edit: Or maybe it's because I can't separate Imaishi from Trigger in my head.

I meant to say take him out of the cage just for the action scenes in the original post, but that got cut for some reason, but yeah, that's what I meant.

So kinda unrelated, but I thought some people here might be interested, but I just posted a PbP recruit for Masks, Powered by the Apocalypse superhero game.

For setting I took a few cues from MHA. Though more from T&B


Figured I'd post here since I know some people don't go to Trad Games but might maybe be interested?

what is t&b

e: oh, tiger and bunny. I thought that was whatever game system was being used (even though you already said powered by Apocalypse™)

It's extremely difficult to "out speed" a precog, as things like reaction speed effectively don't matter. You've got to out speed the nerve impulses themselves.

I really really doubt Deku can manage that sort of speed. All Might in his prime very probably couldn't do it.

it'd be different for shigaraki considering he'd just disintegrate the gloves. he'd have to wear like individual finger gloves haha
