Puttimg his entire body at the same energy probably is why he hasnt broken anything yet.

Like when he used it on his finger/hand he probably turned it on then right back off. The momentum and force is still there and normal Deku limbs cant take that. Semi-Skimmed Deku though, could

I hope not. He's obviously not primary antagonist material but he's definitely got another arc or two worth of story potential left later down the road. Not immediately but in a couple years if this winds up being a long running series (and I don't see why it wouldn't at this point)

He's the growth villain, the wall they have to surpass.
The protags will beat him either as the capstone to their internships/schooling, or as part of a world-changing arc ultimatum.

I don't think I'm the only person who wants the story to advance time in a natural, organic way rather than just go 'X amount of time later' at arbitrary moments and just montage the time passing.



Also I can totally see him coming back if one of the characters starts getting disillusioned with hero-dom.

Powers gotta have a downside or a drawback. Or be balanced by the opposition. Spiderman is fun because he fights these hulks like Venom. The Flash is not fun.

The Flash is a golden age Hero.
His villains are poo poo. Really poo poo. I mean really, Gorilla Grod, Mirror Master, the fiddler? HAH.
This also means his powers have fluctuated from barely enough to overwhelmingly overkill.

Equipment

Violin Bow String: Like his fiddle, the Fiddler's bow string was capable of producing destructive waves of force when used in conjunction with the special strings of his violin.
Portable Vibrator: The Fiddler created a portable vibrator, which could bridge the gap between parallel worlds. He used this to transport himself, the Wizard and the Icicle to Earth-One, and also used it to bring Doctor Alchemy, Chronos and Felix Faust from Earth-One to Earth-Two. He also used this device to trap Barry Allen and Jay Garrick in the space between dimensions. It is unknown whether the Fiddler still possessed such a device following the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Does an (superhero, no less) origin story have to have evolved in a natural, logical manner?
Superheroes dont just happen, theyre made.

It makes narrative and thematic sense that A4O made his own nemesis and eventually his own comeuppance. Especially if it was from disdainful condesension of his brother.

"Poor poor you, born quirkless while i have all the power i want. Have a third rate lovely power that cannot even threaten me so you wont be completely useless, i guess"

Quirk metaphysics can also get hosed.
It really doesnt matter when quirks have been established to be completely random from the word 'go'. Would it matter if things werent convinient for the sake of plot? Would it be more satisfying, endless sperging aside, if they werent?

Fiction would be a convoluted mess if it werent for plot afforded conviniences,and would also defeat the point of it being fiction.

Even Naruto put in more effort than Midoriya at the beginning of his story despite his circumstances.

That's because Naruto is like, ninja-jesus or something and as such instinctively knew his ninja way.

Deku thinks it was hopeless to be a quirkless superhero because honestly how can you compete? Definitely not with Bakugou.
He was living constantly in the shadow of a born and destined high class superhero who constantly looked down on him, can't fault him for not trying.


It's like if a schlubby 16 year old started getting into track when his contemporaries were all running sub-4 minute miles since they were 11 or something.

All Might's bracers aren't there for Deku and Bakugou to capture. Those are weighted bracers (developed by Hatsuko Mei) with a total weight of half of All-Might's bodyweight. They are there to slow down his movements and give Deku and Bakugou a fighting chance, so that the choice between "stay and fight the No. 1 hero in the world" and "run away" isn't so clear-cut.

That doesnt sound like much unless he weighs a goodly amount of tons in hero mode.

But that's fine. I had a great time rereading the series and a lot of fun charting the hypothetical course of its adaptation. Even if my guesses end up dead wrong, I still enjoyed throwing it together.
I thought so as well at first (my initial estimates pegged the Sports Festival for 13 episodes), but reading back through it I'm fairly sure they could fit it all in. Might have to axe the OP or ED that week though.

Knock off the pre-OP recap, the OP, the ED, The post-ED teaser and the ad breaks in between.
But I think it's more likely they'd end it on Stain and the O4A stinger.


But a tiny cynical part of me tells me 'season' 1 will finish on the villain invasion.

This isn't "All Might Beyond", with Deku as Japanese Terry McGinnis. This is more like a war story, with all the soldiers being super heroes/villains, some of them in training. What's needed is mentions of the villain alliance going out and performing more "hero killings". All Might and UA students should just be the top priorities, but not the only ones.

The stain fans literally just joined up and this is (a few of) their actual debut as characters, before this Shiragaki and the VA were quite aimless besides a general 'wanna kill that smug prick all might', he didnt even want to target and kill other heroes unless they were between him and all might.

quote:

Shiragaki will probably take out AfO at some point and take full control of the villain alliance, and he's being set up as the anti-Deku.

Shigaraki is totally being groomed to be AfOs new body im thinking.

Whether something goes wrong in yhe switch and either dies or they become some composite im not sure.

Yeah, I doubt most people are good enough for Stain. The dude has crazy high standards and generally doesn't know the inner workings of the people he judges - and I don't know if he even cares - so he goes off by what he sees on the surface.

Makes sense since his quirk is based off of blood type.
