I was watching the race episode with dinner and the anime had a nice addition, they showed Dark Shadow going tiny and sad when Deku set off the huge explosion to leap the mine field. I went and checked the manga volumes and it's not there it's just a nice added detail.

sometimes i wonder how people learned they had what quirk they have. like that one guy that can apparently curve bullets-- did he just grow up not thinking he had a quirk until he was a teenager and went to the firing range for fun and had his mind blown and world turned upside down? are they giving guns to kindergarteners?

does stains quirk work on himself? did he just get a nasty paper cut one day and went to suck his finger and found himself paralyzed on the ground?

also with the explanation of what stains quirk really is i appreciate how loving jacked that dude must be to be able to land blows on heroes more or less as a regular human dude until he can pull off his bullshit.

so i'll be honest i don't really have a firm grasp on what the heck all for one is capable of, the subs for this show can get pretty... stiff?? at times.

anyone wanna give me a quick breakdown so i have a better understanding? thanks. :)

ok cool, it was just a lot to take in and try to parse the "rules" of All for One on the fly. it helps a lot too to understand more what One for All actually is which i realized when talking with a friend. i was of the understanding that One for All was a collection of quirks that kept growing, like for example first OFA gets passed to someone with flight, then when it get passes to a guy with super strength that guy also has flight, then when it gets passed down to a guy with xray vision he can now fly and be super strong. my friend corrected me that One for All is more a power in its own right, something that just started out super weak and the more it gets passed down the more it evolves and gains power.

my original thinking of the power made things confusing because it was hard to tell what the differences between One for All and All for One actually were since they sounded pretty similar. now I better understand OFA is one power biding its time and getting stronger and AFO is just literal 1-for-1 quirk redistribution

whenever tokoyami's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "where's tokoyami?"

I don't really care. Like at all honestly.

Especially given the series' contemporaries in the magazine.

E: I just rewatched the episode real quick and I didn't really see anything to the degree of what people are talking about. Ya'll got brain worms. I guess everyone's dropping the series next season when one of the few actual fanservice moments shows up.

it's not necessarily going to put most people off the series entirely but it's just a thing that is lame and we can all collectively hope that someday we can move beyond weak-effort "fan service" shots

Man you guys are making a way bigger deal about this then you need to.

it's almost like this has been a lame issue for a long time and when it shows up in an otherwise extremely good thing it kinda blows, not necessarily because it retroactively makes the whole thing bad but because it makes it slightly harder to recommend to others and it's a thing we should all be better about as a whole to begin with

it's ok to wish a show you like treated its female characters with slightly more respect

EDIT: like, there are good moments to be had where momo deals with a kind of blow to her self-worth when her internship was largely given because of her looks. there's some characterization to be had there as it comes to a front in the most recent episode where you can see she struggles with it. then the camera's just like "woah look at these tits" while she runs which is a real tonal shift from the scene when they could have drawn like literally anything else.

tbh outside of boobshots i think mha treats its female cast better than a lot of things i can think of

yea for sure, honestly just dump mineta and stop being a weirdo with the camera once every handful of episodes and that's genuinely my biggest complaint gone

at that point all i've really got against it is "the pacing in season 1 is bad"

i can't wait for the part where tokoyami inherits the power of one for all, further cementing himself as the best character

They should have just made Mineta a girl cause all the girls in this show are boring af except for Uraraka and the male cast is just Fujoshi bait.

lmao at this episode trying to pretend that Deku is a half of the problem, instead of it being 100% Bakugo being a poo poo.

i mean the reason deku got paired to fight all might (aside from it being cool) is because he has a godly fear of all might. that was like the whole point of his training with gran torino.

that said he was only like 10% of the problem there
