Fabricated posted:Probably Midoriya's worst character moment imo ... for a character who is almost pathologically self-sacrificing, right after a debacle of a raid that killed one hero and stripped the powers of another, to offer to give up his own powers so that another person wouldn't suffer, is a bad character moment?

I like that this manga is seemingly returning to its breakneck pacing after how long the Overhaul arc took. Even the School Festival arc took its time, whereas it's looking like this arc might wrap in a few more chapters. Dr Subterfuge posted:It's going to be interesting to see what kind of mileage he's going to be able to get out of emulating All Might. He's already been told he should forge his own path. Endeavor emulating All Might in a very public battle and then immediately getting cheesed by a member of the LoV would be a major step forward for their goals and establish them as a very serious problem for Japanese society, as well as show quite clearly how the whole "Symbol of Peace" idea isn't really workable for anyone other than All Might.

Roland Jones posted:Also, on the topic of Dabi being Todoroki Touya, besides all the heavy hints we've been getting, I'm going to say that something someone said is a sign that he's not a Todoroki a chapter or two ago is actually possibly evidence that he is: The blue fire he makes. The person (can't remember who, sorry) said that since Endeavor has normal fire, they're probably entirely different fire quirks, but what I'm thinking is, Endeavor wanted to combine his quirk with Rei's to make an even better hero quirk and all that, and prior to Shoto all the attempts were "failures". So, what if for one kid their quirks did at least partially fuse, but instead of a super-quirk like Shoto's, the fire and ice made... Blue fire. That'd likely be a pretty enraging failure to Endeavor, a cosmetic upgrade to his own flames rather than something better. Natsu mentions this chapter that Endeavor deliberately kept everyone in his family separated from Todoroki and so they didn't know anything about him. Endeavor's view of Dabi was obscured by his annihilated eye and extreme combat fatigue, but Todoroki got a very good look at Dabi before he vanished into Kurogiri's portal. If the other siblings were deliberately kept separate from Todoroki then that'd explain him not recognizing Dabi -- either that, or Todoroki was too young to remember him when he was driven away from the family / presumed killed by Endeavor. That's if Dabi is Touya, anyway. Zebia posted:I have a feeling that when Dabi's quirk manifested it was so powerful that it engulfed his body and that's why he has skin stapled all over him. It would probably be something that Endeavor was ashamed of. Or who knows, maybe Endeavor was so frustrated that his first child didn't come out the way he wanted that he burned him, though that possibility is so dark that it would once again make Endeavor completely unredeemable. I'm curious to see what the other translations are of that panel where Endeavor reflects on him ending a person's future. As another possibility, Touya could have gotten fed up with Endeavor, tried to fight him, and got scorched.

I wonder what the significance of Deku's hand being the only solid part of his body in that dream/vision is. All Might is wispy/smoky which I think speaks to that he's not dead yet and not fully part of the One For All collective. The other holders of OFA are fully solid and in clear view, and I don't remember where it was said but I'm pretty sure everyone prior to All Might is dead now. Deku's hand is the hand that he wrecked almost to the point of uselessness, so does that mean that the power from that hand is now fully integrated with the OFA collective?

Remembered something, which is that Dabi joined the LoV because he was inspired by Stain. If Dabi is Touya, then it stands to reason that he'd have an enormous problem with heroes by way of Endeavor being accepted by hero society as the #2, and Stain talking about how heroes are degenerate and self-serving would strike a chord with Touya-Dabi.

Roland Jones posted:This is also the basis for my favorite crazy theory I've seen, even if it just makes no sense otherwise: That the next holder of One For All will be Shimura Tenko. The manga hasn't really ever used English puns to this point. "Juu" is the Japanese word for Ten, and we've only seen a couple characters so far that've had that in their names, and they've been extremely background characters.

Since Gran Torino had to train All Might, I wonder if there was stuff about One For All that Yagi didn't know about, but Nana did, that she didn't have time to teach him before she died. And since All Might took to using it so readily he probably didn't feel the need to explore the limits of OFA. He apparently didn't have these dreams or else he would have warned Deku about it.

Viridiant posted:I know people have said 'no' to this but I'll explain why it can't be the case: One For All didn't exist until All For One gave his brother a quirk that could stockpile power, which combined with his brother's until-then unknown quirk of being able to transfer his quirk to other people. If One For All can transfer two quirks (the pass-on quirk and the stockpile quirk) then it stands to reason it'd also be able to transfer the other quirks of the successors. As a side note, I always thought it was odd that All For One could give quirks as easily as he could take quirks. My original understanding (back before Kamino) was that AFO stole quirks for himself, while his brother got the other half of the Quirk Transfer ability, being able to give quirks to others. But apparently AFO can both take and give, while OFA1 could only give. Going back and rereading it, though, it seems All Might mentions right from the first time we learn about AFO that he could give quirks to other too, but that there was a risk of overloading them and making them brain-dead Nomus.

Speaking of bad writing and delivery, I felt like today's was definitely one of these episodes where it comes across much better played back at 2x speed instead of having to sit through everyone slowly mumbling "Everyone...!" I didn't remember the Aoyama/Iida and Bakugo/meatman thing being this tedious in the manga but I guess I read through these chapters pretty quickly. Mulderman posted:I think Shouto explained it best. Right; this arc was when we finally got to see Endeavor do hero stuff instead of being a jerk to Todoroki or Deku.

Shere posted:IIRC Stain had a problem with heroes even being compensated. I believe he gave All Might a pass because Stain is an inconsistent lunatic. All Might got a pass because he actually reduced crime by being the Symbol of Peace. Other heroes only address the symptoms without actually doing anything to reduce the frequency of these symptoms or the causes of these symptoms, while also drawing consistent paychecks and celebration for doing so. I think Stain would have approved of Hawks alongside All Might, as Hawks' goal is to create a society where heroes are unnecessary. Obviously Stain is a psychopathic bloodgargler but I don't think it's useful to scoff at his ideology given that it's clearly meant by the author to be an actual criticism of how in-universe Japanese society has organized around its heroes and how these heroes function in society. One thing I want to draw attention to is the repeated emphasis on "hero", in a manga that's deeply based on Western superhero books, with one (1) actual Superhero in the story

Actually, one thing I'm looking forward to in the upcoming arc is to finally see some Class 1-A students finally taking a clear loss for once (against a non-1A person, that is). Unless we get another Hero License turnout and 1-A wins every single fight  Off the top of my head, everyone in 1-A has only lost to someone else inside 1-A (or a teacher) except for Iida getting shut down by Stain.

Kendo vs Momo was never not going to happen huh? B-2 and 5-A are the only teams to strike a team pose. I think 5-B, with the addition of Shinso making it so that Deku can't give direction to his team and taking advantage of Mineta and Mina being yappy, has the potential to upset 5-A. Hoping for a rare Deku loss here.

Looking again at the matchups, it looks like Todoroki's going up against the recommended student from 1-B, Juzo Honenuki. I didn't recognize him at first because of the helmet he's wearing. Normally I'd put money on Todoroki singlehandedly wiping Team B-3, as Tetsutetsu/Tsunotori/Kaibara seem to be all melee fighters, but Honenuki's quirk puts a wrench into that. He'll probably end up softening Todoroki's ice into uselessness. The Team 4 matchup is also interesting -- there's two guys (Bondo, Awase) who can disable Bakugo pretty effectively. Team 2 has three students with quirks that interact with light going up against Black. I'm overall looking forward to see what 1-B can do, as 1-A on paper seems to have the edge since not only are their quirks much more obviously combat-oriented, they also have had a lot of development and active application of what they can do. We haven't gotten to see that from most of 1-B until now. SKULL.GIF fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Aug 24, 2018 |

This makes me wonder if the whole "do poorly and you'll get replaced by a kid from General or even Support" is going to be another "ruse" by Aizawa. I suggested earlier that there might be a reshuffling of the two classes, but now that you mention 32, I wonder whether it won't be that the two classes merge while dropping the 8 worst-performing students or something. Aizawa's penchant for expelling students has to come up at some point, right? We haven't heard much about UA's second- and third-year students outside the Sannin, but there's no mention of Class 2-A or 3-B.

Eej posted:I understand that narratively speaking 2B has to be roughly equal for there to be tension but it is kind of ridiculous that a class of regular students is working over kids who literally fought the yakuza They're not just regular students, though, they're some of the country's top hero recruits being trained by top-tier teachers at an exclusive academy. The training also isn't just about developing their quirks, it's for teaching them how to dynamically work with other heroes to take down dangerous and specialized villains. On top of that, from Class 1-A only Deku and Kirishima had significant experience fighting against Yakuza who were worth their while. Ochaco/Tsuyu had extensive support from pro heroes and the police in their fights. Kirishima got flung into a Quirk that hard-counters him and captured -- not a great showing. Tsuyu, however, after being caught off guard came back and captured one of B1's two capture specialists and quickly came up with a plan to confuse and exploit Shishida. I'd say that's pretty good. edit: I think 1-A's "advantage" in live combat is being really overblown here. It's really just the USJ for most of them. 1-A and 1-B both got the same experience out of the Training Forest raid. Deku/Iida/Todoroki/Kirishima have most of the actual experience in live combat, and that's mostly a combination of having fought Stain and going off to pull off one (1) maneuver to rescue Bakugo. The rest of the class have been going through more or less standard internships and training. It's Deku really that has way, way more experience than anyone else: USJ, Stain, Muscular, Overhaul, Gentle Criminal. I think when Team 5 is fighting everyone will be surprised at how far Deku's come -- they haven't actually gotten to see him fight since the license exam.

Eej posted:I feel like this is a really odd distinction to make considering they were all thrown into life threatening combat all the same. I think there's a difference between delivering an assist for a very experienced pro hero (Ryukyuu) and a student who's practically already a hero (Nejire), and having to no-holds-barred brawl against Rappa and Overhaul knowing that if you lose you're likely to be killed. Granted you could probably fairly move Kirishima into the former category considering Fatgum was right next to him. My greater point was more that Deku is mostly the one who's actually gotten frequent combat experience compared to the rest of the class, anyway, despite 1-A's reputation. People like Kaminari and Kouda are about as experienced as the 1-B students.

Dolash posted:...I wonder how generous the terms are for the "responding" condition? Could Shinso ask the same question as a teammate very quietly at the same time and take control of someone who thought they were replying to the teammate? The voice-mod trick shows you don't have to think you're replying to him for it to work. Does the reply have to make sense? Are you allowed to say something that isn't phrased as a response but just so happens to incidentally answer his question? Could he just whisper "hey do me a favor and say literally anything" right before you speak and that counts, or do you actually need to hear him speak? Let's start with a few rules that've been established: 1. Shinso must concentrate on the target and think "I will brainwash this person" to be able to do it. It doesn't work if he's doesn't have the clear and deliberate mental intent to do so. 2. Shinso has strong doubts he can brainwash multiple people at the same time, and suspects he'd just pass out if he tried. (We know he can brainwash multiple targets sequentially, as he was able to do it to Twin Impact and Ojiro during the sports festival.) 3. The target must respond to Shinso's words, direct from him. Converting his voice to electronic signals renders the attempt ineffective. The voice can be manipulated, but it must originate from Shinso himself. 3a. Why does manipulating Shinso's voice work fine but not converting it to an electronic signal? I think because the process of converting it to a new signal means it comes from a new source. Shinso is speaking to a, well, speaker, and the speaker creates a new sound from its drums on reaction to the inputs Shinso is giving it. This is pretty much a middleman. 4. When the person is successfully brainwashed, they can't do anything that requires actual intelligent thought. Shinso can order the body to act, but he can't make it think. From this point on is just Friday night speculation for fun: I think that between the concentration and the requirement that the person respond to Shinso, it's some kind of psychic power that lets Shinso control the target's brainwaves and puppeteer the body. The response is the signal Shinso needs to detect and hack into the brain, kind of like moving while you're in Jurassic Park T-rex vision. It has to be a response specifically to what Shinso's saying (even if you don't think it's Shinso), because the reaction to Shinso's words itself lets Shinso recognize the brain activity and interfere with it. While the brain activity is interfered with, the person can't actually think (incidentally, this explains the memory loss), but Shinso can use his voice to continue "hacking" the brain ie manipulating the brain activity and its response to his words to get the body to do things. My speculative answers to your four questions, in order: No, maybe, no, and the last question is the interesting one and what got me to think about it. It would need to be an actual reaction to what Shinso is saying, and you would need to express it in a way that he can recognize it. If he whispers it and you don't hear it, then you aren't actually reacting, and thus Shinso can't read the brain activity to hack it. The power possibly stems from Horikoshi thinking about it something like this: "If I say something and someone responds to what I say, doesn't that mean I have control over how their brain activity works for that moment?" and then running with the concept to create Shinso's quirk. e.g., by insulting someone's mom, and getting them to shout angrily at me, with my words I've successfully generated emotion and stress in their brain.

A big issue with the Overhaul arc wasn't just the pacing, it was also that the fights were really difficult to figure out what was actually going on. In particular Suneater vs the trash trio and then the early stages of Deku vs. Overhaul where it's an endless barrage of linework. I have high hopes for the anime's adaptation of this arc even with my overall low opinion of the adaptation.

The anime, whatever its faults, has shown a strong willingness to flesh out the rest of the class and show us what the manga implied but didn't have time to show. On top of that, Ochaco and Tsuyu are two of the more popular characters, and I imagine Nejire and Ryukyuu will also be very well-received.

Patware posted:not trying to come at you, legit curious: what are your issues with the adaptation? It's more of an issue with anime adaptations of manga in general than with BNHA's adaptation in particular, but I can't help but consistently notice all the cost-cutting and shortcuts they use to save on budgets for the fighty episodes. For example, yesterday's episode was stuffed full of extra-slow flashbacks and long shots of characters standing there with not much else other than their mouth moving. It's to the point where I watch the anime episodes at 2x speed and slow down for the fight scenes. The anime also frequently "cheats" by having a still shot but panning over it to make it look as if there's action. When there's actually fighting going on it's pretty good but the in-between stuff really bugs me, and sometimes they break up the fighting with the in-between stuff which kills the hype.
