i honestly wish people would just leave in the honorifics; if only because everyone is so terrible at localizing them

No that's the lazy option. Just leaving them in and expecting people to keep up is awful practice for localization. You're just pandering to existing anime nerds, it's like leaving "nakama" untranslated.

All you have to do is translate the meaning of using different honorific into something similar in English. So like Asui telling people to call her by a nickname instead of telling people to use -chan. Varying levels of formality and familiarity and politeness are concepts that exist in English, they just take a little bit of effort to translate.

Tell that to One Piece.

I think they're down to half a chapter per episode, with at least 10 minutes of recap.

Speaking of 13, do we ever find out in the manga how she uses (used?) her powers for search & rescue operations? It seems like the sort of horrifyingly destructive ability that would fit right next to Shiragaki in the "Never had a chance, go to villain school instead" category.

It would be pretty useful for clearing away rubble and flood water, maybe even putting out fires. You see later on that 13 has pretty precise control over turning the black hole on and off with his suit.

Oh, and he's just injured. This isn't a series where characters die left and right.
