Bakugou is either going to become a villain or be forced to accept the fact that maybe Deku is not worthless and that he might not actually automatically be better than everyone else in every way. Or maybe he will go see a therapist to help him through his anger issues. That could work.

Gary Oak never tried to blow up a man or two. Nor was he ever angry enough to be Bakugou. In fact other than them both being naturally talented and also assholes I don't think they're that similar at all.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:I honestly don't see Bakugou as evil in any way beyond the bullying he does to Midoriya. Even when he was saved from the sludge monster he felt obligated to thank him even if he didn't really want to. In the Uraraka and Todoroki fights he stopped immediately when the other person was knocked out, and only got weird at Todoroki because he denied him a good fight with his full power. What are you talking about? In the Todoroki fight he had to be put to sleep by Midnight before he seriously injured the dude because even though Todoroki was out Bakugou still wanted to kick his rear end for seemingly disrespecting him. Also, what are Bakugou's sense of heroics. Because from the way I read him the only reason he wants to be a hero is because he knows he's the strongest and the smartest and the best, and thus the best suited to be a hero. Far more than anyone else. I honestly can't remember any time it's been shown that Bakugou actually is all that heroic, and I read the whole series only a few days ago.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:Not really? He was shaking Todoroki and yelling at him to get up but he wasn't actually hurting him. Midnight put him to sleep so they could separate them because Bakugou was having a breakdown. He also doesn't continue attacking Uraraka when she collapses - after the fight not only does he think she's strong but he tears into Midoriya at the possibility that he influenced the tactics that lead her to getting hurt in the fight. Eraserhead points it out that he respects his opponent enough to go full out without seriously harming them. Of course he didn't keep attacking Uraraka. She treated the fight seriously and also wasn't Deku. If Todoroki had went at Bakugou going all out Bakugou wouldn't have freaked out, blew him out of the ring and then jumped on top of him ranting for him take the fight seriously. Also I don't think him not resorting to violence at the drop of a hat is a point towards him being a good person, because it is expected of most sane individuals to not violently attack someone for no reason. It's not really commendable, and although he doesn't attack Deku unless in competition he is incredibly mean to they guy and even trashes his stuff like his notebook in the first chapter. Like, honestly Bakugou has quite a few admirable traits. Deku admires him for a reason. But I don't think any of those traits actually translate to him being a good person or a heroic individual. In the first omake Horikoshi describes as being despicable and rotten to the core, and from the way he's been portrayed he is kind of a goddamn awful person.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:This is a world where a dude who beats and rapes his wife until she got committed is the second most powerful/well regarded "hero" and that the vast majority of the other heroes are useless sods doing television commercials. Bakugou is a vast improvement even if he's a shitlord. Being better than Endeavor is not an accomplishment. Endeavor is an awful dude, a terrible parent, and a wife beater. He should probably be in jail. Also, that still doesn't mean Bakugou is a good person. Which is what I was talking about.

I don't think All-Might's the type of guy who would intentionally injure one of his students to teach them a lesson. I mean, this whole task does seem designed to give Bakugou a reality check. I just doubt his plan for it is to beat him up.

Unsurprised with the top 3 and I was thinking Deku would win, but I was expecting Bakugou to do better than Todoroki. Most surprising to me though is All Might in the top 5. I didn't expect him to be that popular but he's cool so i'm glad. I'm also happy Uraraka is in the top 5 and that Tsuyu and Iida made the top 10 as well. A pretty good poll.

Kendou is fairly high too, for a girl who barely received any attention (especially when you consider when the vote was made). Tsuyu is 6th. She's behind the 3 main dudes, the lead female, and the mentor. She's doing pretty well for herself. Also yeah, I think Kyouka is earphone girl. I have no idea who Kendou is though.

Prison Warden posted:Todoroki is waay down. I mean, I like Todoroki, but it's nice seeing a confirmation of what all of us have been thinking for years. I believe that Zuko is still cool. TriffTshngo posted:Todoroki is about as well realized a version of that character archetype as I've ever seen. So if he were more like Sasuke that would either put him 5 places lower. Or maybe higher, depending on how many english readers of MHA are people who realized Sasuke sucks rear end a decade+ ago versus how many are 14 year olds. Despite being the darkest and I guess least emotional of the main cast I don't think Todoroki is really anything like Sasuke.

Bad Seafood posted:Somebody in the shounen general chat (I think it was Fabricated) said Hero Academia's strength was team battles and I have to say I agree. Not that the one-on-one fights are bad, but thus far it's really been the group efforts that have stolen the show and really dominated center stage. Gives the series a nice sense of identity when so many of its peers are all about the one-on-one. He asked some friendly nearby bears to attack the robots for him.

The only real bad part of FMA's final arc is that until Wrath shows up the bad guys just kinda get mercilessly stomped by the good guys, and there's not too much tension. It's still really good despite that though, but it feels like something's missing until Bradley arrives.

I'm a bit disappointed we didn't see the matches of Iida and Hagakure's teams. Iida did just get an arc that focused on him so I guess he didn't need the screentime, but Ojiro had gotten some slight focus before and I wanted to see what he could pull off. The idea that the match was about removing the footing of the two heroes that probably relied on movement the most was pretty cool though. On the other hand Hagakure's challenge seemed especially in her favour, the invisible girl has to avoid detection and I suppose Shouji covers her. It doesn't really feel like it would be that difficult for them.

Roland Jones posted:As for Ojiro and Hagakure, their contest was basically, as Deku said, hide and seek; Snipe obviously fights from a distance, so he'd be evading them and attacking from far away, while Ojiro uses his sharp senses to pinpoint his location and direct Hagakure so she can sneak in without being detected and capture him. Or out the door but I presume Snipe had a plan for keeping the invisible girl from just walking out. Ojiro was with Iida. Hagakure was teamed with Shouji.

I'm glad we're about to get more from Shigaraki because I want to like the guy, since him being the counterpart to Deku as One for All's succesor is pretty interesting but so far he's just kinda been a whiny loser who keeps getting owned.

I really like how Shigaraki despises Deku and Stain for having ideals stemming from All Might and then it turns out his motivation is just as focused around All Might as theirs. It's interesting. I'm glad I finally have a reason to like Shigaraki.

I think Uraraka is going to live and be happy and continue to do cool things because she is cool and I like her. The problem with the whole mole thing is how people bring it up over anything. Like, "Oh poo poo! Invisible Girl invited everyone to the mall. She must be the leak" or "Oh poo poo! Aoyama asked Uraraka if she liked Deku. He must be the leak." It's silly.

There's no way it's a coincidence, so people are theorizing. Shigaraki called their meeting "fate" and didnt seem to have planned it. Especially as he went out in order to calm down after throwing a random.

NecroMonster posted:no he definitely definitely ran into the guy who's the successor to the dude he really hates while he was cooling down from throwing one of his tantys utterly and completely on accident I mean, yes? We see Shigaraki get pissed at the new kids for talking about Stain so he tries to kill them, he is stopped by Black Mist who tells him to calm down. He then basically tells Mist to gently caress off and leaves in a huff because he is a bratty child. In the same chapter we then have him running into Deku while talking about how this is his lucky day and instead of actually doing anything important he just decides to chat with him because he's got nothing better. Coincidences happen, and if Shigaraki could so easily manipulate the crew into going where he wants them to I think he'd plan an attack or something, rather than just use it to talk about how much he hates heroes.

NecroMonster posted:or maybe he was going to kill Deku, and thus ruin his"bosses" plans as a sort of "no, gently caress you dad!" and changed his mind after actually talking to the kid. Then why didn't he? What did Deku say that made Shigaraki go "this guy gets to live". Like you have to jump through so many hoops to say Shigaraki planned that out. What was his plan if Uraraka didn't remember Aoyama's comment about her crush and decide to run off and leave Deku alone. Would he have just decided to give up? Since you know, as soon as someone notices he's threatening Deku he leaves so as to not get caught. Did he somehow know that Deku would not be hanging with his friends? Does he have a psychic link with the mole who told him so? Because it doesn't really seem to make sense. Especially since the narrative gives a reason for him to be out for a walk anyway.

A good chapter but i'm a bit disappointed the story of the fight was that Deku goes over the limit of what he can do with one for all to defeat a superior opponent and kills his arms in the process, because I find it pretty similar to his whole fight with Todoroki which was Deku's last major one-on-one battle. It was still a cool fight and all but man I hope he stops shattering his arms soon, he needs those.
