Everytime he comes up in this thread or on reddit, someone always defends him. I wanna say he won the last character popularity poll, too.

Yup. Those poll results were revealed in chapter 120, and this season will cover up to chapter 69 (the manga's currently at chapter 153).

For those curious, Season 1 covered chapters 1-21, Season 2 covered chapters 21(some overlap)-69, and Season 3 will almost undoubtedly cover chapters 70-95 or 97.

Only like a dozen or so are actually about Deku and Bakugou's relationship, and less than that chapters that explicitly ONLY focus on their relationship. It's not 100 chapters of Bakugoing lovely NERD at the world around him.

Bakugo did kadebon Deku in today's episode, so I think it's a little bit intentional.

He also grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in close :swoon: (and told him to die :syoon:)

Confirmation straight from the source.

Not that it was ever in question if it was going to happen.

One for All was also not an inheritable power and Deku was completely quirkless, which is fun to think about when you realize that the entire story relies on Deku and All Might's bond through OfA, as well as forming the entire backbone of the backstory of the big bad.

As part of the design process to become the All Might we know today, that is. Allpha Might didn't literally have a mask that morphed into his hair.

Hero Academia Season 3: It's All About All Might

In the manga thread many of us were all "Cool, we get to hang out with the characters more, the story has been just knocking through arc after arc after arc up to this point so it'll be nice to get some downtime and get to know the characters bet-

You are absolutely underestimating Shigaraki's combat abilities. Look back to the first attack. He took an elbow from Aizawa and didn't mind, and he was punched (well, at least some sort of attack) by All Might when he saved Deku, Mineta and Tsuyu and kept standing. When the three were in the water, he closed the gap between them in an instant. And all he needs to do is touch someone with five fingers to kill them. Aizawa lucked out because of his quirk. The reason it looked like it took a long time for his quirk to do any damage was literally because of the animated format.

Shigaraki is "weak" in the general shounen sense, yes. He has many counters and he's far from this invincible threat that you need a training montage to beat. He left the first fight he was in in the show as a bleeding mess on the floor. But he's definitely got more under the hood than what is basically a short-range instakill quirk.

Anyway, back on topic and ho boy that season finale was tense. Although I'm sad they overlooked the whole Weak-All Might and Deku talking and Deku's mom runs up and never notices who Deku is talking to.
Why would she notice? Deku's classmates see All Might all the time, and some of them have seen Small Might too, and they haven't noticed.

Yeah, Sero spent about five seconds of that fight in a conscious state. What he did helped, but you can't really call what happened teamwork.

There are several manga characters in there as you get further down the poll, so if you don't recognize a name, that's why.
