Good series so far. Hopefully the Jump mandate won't gently caress this one over like the rest of this year's new entries.

The first volume release sold really well, so I think the series is safe.

My Hero Academia is inspired by American superhero comics, and One-Punch Man owes a lot more to old Japanese superhero cartoons and super sentai series.

MHA Is Like, Japanese American Superhero and OPM is Japanese Japanese Superhero

Yeah, I'm talking looking like a competition bodybuilder. How you lift affects how you look, going for strength and endurance is going to look different than going for bulk and definition. Not that things are 100% mutually exclusive, but you're going to be doing a whole different thing if you're training for physical villain fighting vs training to look awesome. Also putting on massive amounts of "pretty", bulk muscle is probably a lot harder for a kid most likely getting ready for a growth spurt. At least I really hope so, 5'5" is kind of slight for the next #1 world wide hero of justice.


more muscles = more badass = stronger

I was hoping for a more lasting consequence to someone getting an arm removed and having it become just another serious, but not permanent injury takes some of the previous impact away. It's not like it's a surprise that the villains aren't winning outright but this is the third time they have been routed pretty thoroughly. It is starting to get old.

I think they'll probably succeed in kidnapping Kacchan

bakugou's idolization of all might is due to the fact that all might is the strongest, right? all might is great because he never loses. so what happens to bakugou's allegiance when all-might gets fuckin beat to death right in front of him in a straight up fight?

all of his extra hands definitely have something to do with his quirk imo

Law Cheetah
Mar 3, 2012
i dont know if its quirk copying, or he just needs severed hands to fuel his ability somehow, or whatever. it could be anything. whatever it is, its clear that its not just a costume or stylistic thing. he hides a severed hand in his pocket when hes going out in disguise

He also threatened to disintegrate Deku's throat then without any of his hands being worn, on that tangent.

he keeps his left hand in his severed hand pocket the whole time. when urakawa surprises them, there's a little shifting sound effect coming from that pocket as he prepares to take both hands out for the next panel. ch 69. its a cool hint actually

he doesnt need to hold it in his hand, though, because he uses both hands to try to attack yandere girl and burn guy

I kind of hope AfO bites the dust along with All Might this arc, he's just too OP for the kids to deal with and it would make Shigaraki leading the villain alliance much more interesting after the obligatory soul searching.

Either way we're going to get Endeavor in the #1 slot soon and that's going to be a thing.

they're doing sort of a mirror mirror thing with afo/shiragaki and all might/deku, so a simultaneous torch passing would make sense

the comics code was just them copying the idea of the motion picture production code, for mostly the same kinds of reasons. by the late 60s the movie industry wised up and replaced their "code" with the age-based rating system. the movie industry got to pretend like they were still implementing a regime of self-censorship while the public started getting cool movies with graphic murder and titties in them. the comics industry never got the memo

Gyges posted:

The comics code and the publishers are intertwined because the comics code is a lot like the MPAA. When Congress was getting pissy about Batman turning children gay, and depictions of crime turning them into hooligans, the publishers got together and made a board that would enforce stupid, stupid poo poo. It was combination of a moral panic and elements of Cold War political fears. So you couldn't talk about sex or drugs, but you also couldn't show any governmental official as being corrupt/bad or show crime. Which is why Superman was always making Jimmy marry a monkey and Batman's villains were acting goofy enough to be part of Flash's Rogues.

i want to emphasize again the difference between the mpaa's rating system and the motion picture production code. the creation of the mpaa rating system was unequivocally a positive move w/r/t movie censorship. i think we've outgrown it, but it was genius imo and really opened things up for filmmakers of the time

i dont think that the AfO/OfA conflict can sustain a 400+ chapter mainstay Jump behemoth. and shueisha is pinning its future on MHA. they want another big drat series. you can always introduce a stronger villain, and its gonna happen eventually imo

All Might inflating and shrinking doesn't really jive with anything else we know about 14a. Maybe All Might learned how to use it in some less than obvious ways?

it doesnt make sense, really. if being a wiry high school kid makes you an unsuitable vessel to wield more than 5% of one for all then missing half your organs should mean you're right out. instead all might just gets full usage but with a time limit. what does that mean? i've decided to just not think about it too deeply

he specifically wrote in a reference to the "silver age" at one point talking about all-might


i like contrasting it with one-punch man in that sense


opm is super japanese in its reference base. the main character and the title of the series is even a direct reference to an old popular japanese cartoon.


opm is like a japanese/japanese supperhero show and mha is like a japanese/american superhero show

bakugou is naturally very very talented, its where his arrogance comes from in the first place

they show it in a flashback to his childhood. hes like "why isnt anyone else getting this..." then he has a realizaiton "I get it! I'm just better than everyone!"

drat. ppl who dont know any japanese really do post authoritatively about it. then someone comes along with a dictionary link that directly contradicts them all.

this last page has been a revelation for me. im gonna be more careful about just repeating poo poo i read on forums in the future
