The One True Oden

The joke with Tetsutetsu is that he has the same quirk as Kirishima, so he's redundant, thus his name is extremely redundant. It is four different kanji though, per the wiki:

quote:

His name is composed of the kanji for "iron" (鉄?), "clear" (哲?), "pierce" (徹?), and an archaic kanji for "iron" (鐵?).
Although even then, he has "iron" in his first and last name.

One Punch Man is more a gag series but is still a super hero thing. Tiger and Bunny stars two adult characters and so is a little quieter in places but is pretty similar, and is also a superhero thing. And yeah, Soul Eater isnt' a superhero thing at all (its aesthetic is very anime nightmare before christmas) but it's got a fun energy to it and some really great designs.

EDIT: also do not tell the guy whos new to anime to watch 400 episodes of one piece lol

You're right, he should skip the filler arcs and only watch 300 episodes of One Piece.

No but OPM is a great suggestion, and after that you can watch Mob Psycho 100.

Not yet, but she also hasn't gotten any real spotlight time.

She does get a chance to shine, but it's so far in the future it'll probably be in season 4. Still not a single hint as to what her face looks like, though.

It's not as bad as Todoroki's original costume, lordy lord

I still dunno why she has a weird shelf and like a book on her back?? like it's not some literally Got An rear end Like A Shelf joke right, what is that?

The Yaoyorictionary. It's full of notes about the physical makeup of things, so she can learn/remember how to make them in a pinch.

Gotta say, I prefer the costumes from Horikoshi's twitter sketch



Especially Deku's.

It is neat, but it's not always entirely consistent. We never really get a biological explanation for Shinso's power (although it's possible to imagine one; I assume it works like telepathy in the Foundation books). Then there's people like Manga Fukidashi, whose power seems to have a slight fourth-wall-breaking component.

Yeah don't get too attached to the idea of quirks having a somewhat plausible biological component. There's some stuff that's basically just magic. I mean Todoroki already kind of fits the bill, where does the energy for his fire come from? And Tokoyami straight-up has a stand like a JoJo character.
