/a/ - Animu & Mango

>Deku dies

>Backpack goes PLUS ULTRA and undoes his death

>Nighteye shits bricks to death and also gets rewound

>Shigaraki disintegrated Overhaul

Why create another one since there already is a thread?

>>750762

>>756315

Because it hit the bump limit.

Where the fuck is the new chapter?

>>756304

It's ok if I call Eri as Kaban ?

>>756363

Instead of making things she just reverts them to a previous state. She's the anti-Kaban.

Where are the scans because right now I can only see poor decisions.

>>756505

I guess it is just a little encounter with the villain association to kill the yakuza.

>>756304

But none of those happened.

>>756447

This happened.

And Shiggy outplaying everyone is pretty nice.

>deku changes the future with the power of shonen protagonist

This is rapidly falling into all of the traps and cliches. I'm still enjoying it but boy I am disappointed.

How did Shigaraki know this would be the outcome? Is he just being reactive? How did Deku twist fate? Is it a property of OFA or can anyone do it if they want to badly enough? Did All-Might do the same thing? Is Nighteye's power just bullshit? Did Hori take time off to clear his head and end the arc in one fell swoop? Is Blackmist driving the truck?

>>756528

Steal the capsule and recruit the survivors?

>>756569

She exists solely for the hero's sexual pleasure. But unlike Sakura, she'll actually be a good waifu to the MC.

Did the ride finally ended?

>>756770

No. Next chapter is going to be Shigaraki turning into a likable villain.

>>756569

I can't be helped, their powers really aren't worth much.

>>756567

I think they just want to kill all of them and not being really interested in the whole pill business. It also means to remove any competitor and revenge magnetic mantranny.

>>756565

>How did Deku twist fate?

It was Eri. Her power is temporal shit, so it can probably override whatever causality leads to the outcome Nighteye perceives beforehand.

>>756770

We still haven't seen the aftermath yet.

>>756879

>Deku

>Jobbing

In what fucking thread. The main complaint people had was this arc being overcrowded with characters and unnecessary exposition on/from them. Deku himself is kicking ass. Though I dislike that he's winning not through wits but overwhelming force. I would've preferred him to have come up with something smarter than, "Hit him really hard." He didn't even finish with a SMASH just a massive flurry. I feel like even Hori was over this arc and that's why it's gone from, "OVERHAUL FINAL FORM BOSS MODE IS DANGEROUS AS FUCK." To Deku breaking through his reconstruction factor and winning. It didn't seem like a winning blow last chapter, but here we are. I was expecting something more spectacular as a final SMMMMAAAASHU.

The only other complaint was that Overhaul was another touch of death power, which, although Mirio got a great scene from that, kind of makes it hard to do much interesting stuff with him once he went gigantic.

The shots of Giant Overhaul getting launched were nice though.

>>756880

I hope something like that is used. I don't want Nighteye's power to have been misidentified this entire time. Imagine the reclassification process, "So it let's me see someone's future, and it's unchangeable...unless they really want to change it."

It still feels like his power was changed during the arc, he was able to predict Deku's moves and react accordingly when they first met, even when Deku obfuscated his vision. The line between him being good at assessing his actions and responding accordingly and his actual power were kind of blurry there. It seemed like he had the ability to see future actions and prepare for them. Then it turned into FATE IS UNBREAKABLE. So it kind of becomes a useless power in terms of planning if there's no way to escape death. You'd think the knowledge of threats would allow him to change outcomes easily, predict Deku and his death, warn Deku and advise him of what's coming up. Dude didn't even try. Was it a vague death image, or specific? Fucking fortune tellers.

Meanwhile in One Piece we have Katakuri who can see into the future if he focuses and respond accordingly, but it only works if he's calm and he can still screwup if what he's seeing is too out of control. It's funny that Whole Cake and Overhaul have kind of mirrored each other with those themes. Bege even declared they'd change fate.

>>756892

Post the full version

>>756565

Wait and see strategy most likely. If the yakuza win, he gets to say I helped out and maintain an uneasy relationship with them. If the heroes win, he wipes out the yakuza. Either way, it's win-win for him to stay out and wait.

>>756897

Man Etonel is talented

>>756907

That's a good point. He's being reactive and opportunistic here. Good strategy.

>>756941

Because the villains are so incompetent in this universe school children can beat them.

Best current manga in shonen jump everyone.

I can forgive everything so long as Mirio stays quirkless.

>>756996

Well Chisaki's plan included creating a cure, so don't think he'll stay that way forever.

>>756948

>Best current manga in shonen jump everyone.

That would be either Dr. Stone or Promised neverland or HxH if you count that.

MHA is suffering from the same degenerative disease all battle shonen suffer, unfortunately. I remember threads from maybe a year ago or so where people were wondering when things were going to start getting bad. Well here we are. Let's all hope for the best though.

>>756948

>ugh, the MC won a battle by will and circumstance

>what a shit manga

Are you new to shounen or something?

>>756941

Rappa is gonna get rescued by Shigaraki.

>>756996

I want him to become Deku's cop buddy.

>>757020

I'm not writing off this as becoming bad, but I'm not going to be surprised at all if this is the start of the decline.

>>757201

I'm still hopeful it's just a dip, like One Piece and Skypiea or Dressrosa. Sometimes authors just fuck their execution up and the only way out is through.

>>757205

Do you remember, back during the Hero License Exam Arc, when the principal (was he the principal?) was screaming about how desperately he needed to sleep and how badly he was being overworked? This author is one who puts his heart, soul, and life into his work. Every piece of it is a reflection of himself. Horikoshi hit his limit during the last arc. He's running on fumes. He even said he loved Mirio for how easy his face was to draw, and you can see the quality of both the writing and the artwork slipping.

It was fun while it lasted, but unless something changes, it's not going to get any better.

>>757205

Skypiea was great, plebian.

>>757235

>He even said he loved Mirio for how easy his face was to draw,

And yet, he still fully draws the characters as they should be drawn. He hasn't started pulled Naruto shit, where the costumes get redesigned just to be drawn more easily.

>>757446

Hori needs a break and a medical check, he's gonna be K.I.A at this rate

>>757442

It was okay, but it was preceded by Alabaster, which was great, and succeeded Water 7 / Enies Lobby, which was fucking amazing.

>>757448

I thought he had said he was going to take a two week break, but then it seemed to only last one. SJ need to really instate a standard time off for their writers. One a year get a full month off or something, but keep it rotating so most of the chapters are still released that week.

>>757438

>Being buttmad best boy Twice is getting the spotlight and not angst filled pretty boy no.2

This was the one good thing to come out of this arc.

>>757454

I think every series should get a monthly or two-monthly week off or mandated breaks throughout the year that aren't part of the four breaks SJ itself has. One Piece really benefited from it once Oda stopped being near death and got some breathing room to work. I think every series would gain the same benefits, having that week off gives time to refine the story and keep ahead on chapters. The current system is really what kills series. Nobody can be expected to keep up that pace and not see a drop in quality.

>>757703

I guess he interprets this as a lower subject calling his Lord. He does seem to look down at Izuku and sees him as some sort of a fan chasing at someones shadow. But the true question is, why is Izuku calling Bakugou "Kacchan" after years of bullying?

>>757719

>why is Izuku calling Bakugou "Kacchan" after years of bullying?

Because he's kinda retarded ?

>>757722

He's not retarded just an autistic beta like me.

>>757722

>You're so cool, Kacchan.

>It's ok, Kacchan. It was my fault.

>Please don't hit me, Kacchan.

>I-I'm not afraid of you, Kacchan.

As far at it looks, probably a retard.

Why hasn't Kirishima come up with a good offense or anything to give an edge to his quirk other than "just get harder lol"?

Is he even serious about being a hero or is he just doing it because he's an insecure jackass?

>>757827

Preflight definitely insecure jackass. Give him some time to recover and best alien tlc and he should have a new approach in life. He grew a lot in that fight.

>>757826

>Most anons stating they're disappointed but hopeful things will turn around

Where the fuck do you people come from?

>>758049

This is my hope.

I don't care if he dies and comes back to life, but as it stands, we don't even know how he was supposed to die. I'd be pissed if it's forgotten about as quickly and casually as it was brought up.

What the hell is this cringy shit?

>>758402

Why is Bakugo so worthless?

>>758051

We know that he is going to become "the greatest hero" but that doesn't mean he will survive.

Maybe Hori will kill him off in the end?

>>758462

So he's 20% Joestar ?

>>758600

>Maybe Hori will kill him off in the end?

>Deku dies in the peak of his career

>OfA gone for good

I suppose this could happen once AfO (both the guy and the quirk) is gone for good, having the original purpose of One for All finally being accomplished, or I dunno, having another poor quirk-less fella with spirit inherit the quirk just like he did from Toshinori

>>758608

He'll pass it on to Bakugo with his dying breath.

>>758609

Let's be honest here.. Overhaul had to die. He was too overpowered for his own good and too crazy to simply be swept under the rug and forgotten about.

>>758609

Goodbye you little shit.

>>758696

Shigaraki is just helping Hori tie up loose ends, and we shall never talk about this arc again, with the penalty of torture for doing so.

>>758658

Dr. Pavel, I'm Stain

>>758608

>>758613

Since OFA is transferred by DNA, does that mean you can literally fuck it into a person?

>>758884

Yes. You could imbue your load with it. Question is whether or not your child would get it.

>>758609

HE SURVIVED A 100% OFA PUNCH?

The writer isn't even trying.

>I punch so hard it changes the weather!

>I punch so hard I can send enemies into orbit

>Let me punch you with all my might

Ow. You bruised my face!

Chisaki get's his arm ripped off by based Mr.Compress. Best villain.

>>758975

So he is a fan of marvel huh? That explains a lot

>>758975

How do people keep stuff like this clean? I've never enjoyed dusting the house, but all these figurines and junk people accumulate must be a real chore if they want to keep it looking nice.

>>758937

How the fuck did Compress become the most based villains so quickly? Losing his arm has done wonders for him.

>>758984

Losing limbs is just another kind of character development for the jap, like cutting a character hair, but cooler.

>>757719

>>757733

If I had to guess?

It's Horikoshi trying to make Bakugou one of those "admirable asshole" kind of types, sort of like Takamura from Ippo.

You know the kinds of characters, the ones who make you go "fuck you, I can totally do that better than you, someday."

I guess kinda like Takamura or Vergil. The difference between those two being while Takamura is indeed an asshole, it's also true that on some level his bravado isn't 100% arrogance, and is partially done to deliberately be a "rock" for his gymmates to ground themselves towards, and work for achieving.

Vergil is a bigger asshole than Bakugou, but he's not in your face about it, and doesn't outwardly display any sort of complex. Even when you best him, he's not about to lose his shit like Bakugou, since it adheres to his philosophy after all ("might makes right.")

Bakugou, however, is an unpleasantly realistic depiction of a bully, in a lot of ways. He never really gets comeuppance, and even as he's lost his power of being the defacto guy, at the top of the pecking order, he's still really fucking good and the best at combat in his class. And even gets praised for his abilities.

He's getting better, too, which means potentially Izuku's never going to just fucking beat the shit out of the guy, and rightfully knock some sense into him.

But what bothers me most about their relationship, is how Horikoshi seems keen on saying they were friends, and have potential to be friends, or there are hints of it.

I don't know if he's aware of it, but Bakugou is straight up just a fucking irredeemable asshole, to everyone. Or at least was more of one.

It's fine when you're trying to make more fun scenes, but it makes it annoying to endure watching, when he's so fucking arrogant that like, he's incapable of even listening to Izuku out of sheer rage.

That all being said, I mentioned it earlier in the post, but yes, the guy has admittedly gotten better about all this. His motivation for fighting Izuku, for example, is no longer

>I'm going to prove I'm better than you

instead it's

>I figured out you inherited All Might's power. If you can't beat me, you sure as shit can't beat a villain

and even gave advice, afterwards.

So he's clearly changing.

Of course, this all could be more easily explored if we actually fucking spent more time on the characters, instead of dragging out a singular arc, with a whole bunch of characters out of nowhere, and shoving the previous relationships and characters being explored aside, in favor of dragging out this fight with this one off villain who'll never fucking show up again.

>>759008

I think I'll agree, Bakugou is getting some kind of a character development that he isn't thinking only about himself and his egotistical pride isn't anymore so obnoxious. He's slowly turning "passive" in somewhat way. But that won't stop from people drawing him being raped by everyone.

And the ark, it mostly felt as if it was a filler. There was some development, but will it stick with the entirety of the series?

>>759008

>>759020

Bakugou will most likely be heavily focused in the next arc. He's been on the back burner for a while.

>>759058

Rebuilding himself was stated to have really fucking hurt.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had no sense of pain at this point.

>>759062

I hate overhaul so this is a fitting end

>>759062

Well shit, I thought he killed Overhaul at first. What are the chances Hori just sweeps him under the rug anyway and we never hear from him again?

What if this entire arc was meant to make profit in merchandise market?

There should be coming some video or arcade game of this manga in Japan. And how do they make cash? With lots of varieties (characters). The arc just threw bunch of new heroes and villains, their names, their characteristics and then finish, throw them to the corner and start an new arc. It could be that simple, but with the power of commercials, you'll sell every single character for profit. You'll whore them the same amount as Aikatsu or Pripara does or any other series. And what's the better way than to sell them in a video games as collectibles.

>>759058

>DISARMED

Well, that's one way to keep Overhaul from coming back as any kind of real threat.. Though I don't feel like removing his hands should be the be-all-end-all of how his powers work.

>>759094

Didn't they give him the serum though?

I stopped reading around the start of the raid on Overhaul's compound. I avoided reading spoilers and just got done catching up. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who found this arc disappointing. It's too bad, since it seemed to have a strong start. But there were too many characters, and while some of their individual backstories and battles were interesting, the focus on all of them sapped momentum from the storyline. It was kind of a drag marathoning through it all, so I can only imagine it was worse reading it week by week. It's too bad as there was so really good stuff, and some interesting ideas on display here. But overall it just wasn't executed very well. But I'm hopeful this is just a dip in quality like others anons have said, and that Horikoshi learns from his mistakes and rebounds here.

He needs to stop creating so many heroes, students. He has a lot he's already established, and he's already having a hard time juggling them all, knowing when to put whom in the limelight. Meanwhile in terms of antagonists he hasn't created a wide variety at all. At this point the League of Villains is the only major game in town. Does Horikoshi intend for them to be the only, or prime antagonists? I think they can carry the whole series' conflict by themselves. Multiple antagonist factions usually work better in these long running shonen battle series.

>>756891

>Though I dislike that he's winning not through wits but overwhelming force.

It was pretty witty to use Eri to constantly regenerate his body so he could go all out 100%. But yeah the lack of a SMASH was kind of disappointing.

>I feel like even Hori was over this arc

I think so, too. Hopefully this means he's learned from his mistakes here and bounces back to form.

>It still feels like his power was changed during the arc

Yeah, the whole thing about him never being able to change destiny was just a ad hoc way of making Deku look good, being the first guy to change fate. Because what's the point of using a power that lets you see the future, if you can't change that future? I think they did the same with Eraserhead's power, I thought his quirk deactivated the moment he took his eyes off his enemy, but when Suneater was fighting those three guys it seemed to linger a while after Eraserhead had gone.

>>759179

The arc just took too long. This could have been a really great arc to look back on if it didn't meander and was more concise, but we just got page on page of shit that slowed everything down. I wonder if Hori needed time to figure out what was exactly going to happen in the arc leading to all the padding.

The arc would have been better if they didn't spend 3 months running up and down a building with a clone of the stone faggot from one piece

>>759186

> it seemed to linger a while after Eraserhead had gone.

I bet Eraserhead "Upgraded" his quirk to compensate for his injuries.

That's probably why he apologized for "looking at Deku" because the effect lingers for a bit now.

>>759478

We better be talking about Vice City and Vice City Stories

>>759504

Cool story, bro.

I thought the panel with Shiggy on top of the truck made him look pretty fucking kakkoi. Good end for a mostly boring arc.

>>759080

That makes sense if they ever make some mobage shit, but MHA already had more than enough characters for a fighting game or an action game or even a light musou.

Midoriya, Bakugou, Iida, Todoroki, All Might, Endeavor, Eraserhead, Ochako, Tsuyu, Stain, Shiggy, Toga, Twice, Dabi, All For One, Mirio, Suneater, maybe throw in Midnight or Mina or Yaomomo for more female characters and you already have a better roster for a fighting game than the new MvC.

>>760132

I WANNA CHEW ON OCHAKO'S BUSH!

>>760928

Goodbye, you little shit.

>>760928

Who?

>>760940

Nighteye

>>758907

100% is probably the full power of All-Might not trying, I think. Deku's already done a 10k% punch, meaning there's a ton more potential strength. Really, he fucked up by attached a numerical value to the strength being used. It makes it too easy to say what should and shouldn't have worked. If he made if more vague than he would probably have been fine.

>>759008

>He never really gets comeuppance

You people keep coming in and saying this about Bakugo, despite the fact that from the moment they stepped into UA, he took an deluxe ride of the "Get Bullied Nerd" express. He only stopped getting shit on constantly when he teamed up with Deku and realized that he's been a shitter this whole time, and since that happen he hasn't been doing much.

>>759080

Or, more reasonably, he made a story arc which almost always means introducing new characters, but it just wasn't super great overall.

>>759504

Then you need to get out before it gets ruined

>>760989

>Deku comes out alive

>Nighteye kicks the bucket

So only 50% of his prediction became true

Wew

>>760928

Good job you whiny faggots. You got into Hori's head.

>>760928

Stop fucking posting spoilers before the chapter is translated you fucking faggot

>>761265

Love these. Do you draw them?

>>761267

I think these are old which were used in bnh threads in half-chan.

>>761275

That one's definitely recent with Overhaul's crew present.

>>760306

How about yes?

She is shit.

>>761345

I hope we never have to see this filler character with his coalburner wife and their niglet offspring ever again

>those fat trio bandages

For fucks sake Amajiki got it worse in the stomach. Why is his head wrapped up?

>>761345

>>761349

I fucking hate that time waster. All that fucker did was consume pages and do absolutely nothing of value. I hope we never see Lockrock again.

>>761376

That would work, hell Nighteye didn't even fight correctly, how he was ever All Might's sidekick is beyond me, so Mirio would at least be able to hold his own better than he did.

>>761345

What the hell is wrong with that child's face.

Also

>Dark roots on blonde hair

Every time, maybe Hori is telling us something here.

>>761384

New nips do. This is what the west has done to all developed countries.

>>761404

He got one panel you fucking autist

>>761404

A blonde insane girl.

Toga "stabbing nigs is my jigs" Himiko

>>761409

More proof that Toga is /ourgirl/

>>761407

One too much.

>>761409

Toga "Fucking Deku while killing the Jews" Himiko

>>761384

>>761387

Maybe his quirk is being a nigger?

>>761384

>I thought nips hated gaijins

We'll you're a retard then. Nips fucking love Americans for some reason.

>>761378

>Mirio without his Quirk is still a better fighter than most Heroes

That should be legitimate. I mean, you have to consider that there are people like Momo going for the job, when all she does is spawn things. Why shouldn't he be able to content with the average shitter villains?

>>761345

>>761381

>offspring looks nothing like the Mother

What is Hori trying to say?

>>761431

Nips love whites, not niggers and especially race mixers

>>761432

>What is Hori trying to say?

That niggerlock is a cuck

I still don't understand why Nighteye assumed Deku was gonna die. He only saw a black panel in his vision.

Or am I to assume the black was not literal and they just didn't include the real vision he had?

They could have used the girl to heal Nighteye, but of course that wouldn't be dramatic enouth.

For fuck's sake, she could even give Almighty his power back.

>>761461

The way her power works is weird as shit, I don't think it works like that but I'm not even sure. I don't think Hori is sure either.

What a shitty explanation.

>YOU CAN CHANGE FATE BY WANTING IT BADLY ENOUGH

Protagonist power ACTIVATE. I was really hoping there'd at least be a quirk related explanation.

>You finally found a way to get around my quirk, I never tried WANTING TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME REALLY BAD

>>761468

confirmed for king crimson tier

>>761478

They had the perfect setup to make a good explanation too. Nighteye sees an unchanging reality but only goes one direction, Eri makes things move backwards so it messed with that. It even makes sense in that he saw both him and Midoriya dying, but in the end only the person she affected directly changed his fate.

This explanation might not be perfect but I'd prefer it any time over protagonist power, friendship power, "the heart" or whatever.

>>761484

I was thinking this too, it's a far better explanation than what we jut got, not only that but it was within reason. Instead of having a circumstantial victory we've now got a win because Deku can bend fate by wishing really hard. If that's the case why doesn't he just wish really hard for Night Eye not to die, for Shiggy to stop being an edgy villain and for world peace?

>>761461

Also this. I'm more surprised that no one thought of it at all to even come up with an excuse. I suppose the fact that she was quarantined was supposed to suffice but it really doesn't seeing that no one there even suggested using Eri to save Night Eye's life.

>People thought that the grimdark fatalist would be proven right in the shonen

>People thought that there would be a technicality rather than Deku just being a shonen protagonist

You idiots, I was braces for this from the second Night Eye was introduced. I enjoy this manga but it's not like it's super original. I just does typical shonen stuff without the heaping helping of bullstgatand baggage that other shonens suffer with.

Congratulations: you make your own fate was the message in the manga about a kid literally making his own fate. That's been Deku's character arc from word go.

All that I care about is that Mina shows up next chapter to fawn over Kirishima and that Ochako does the same for Deku.

>>761537

because you fags can't stop bitching and moaning over something that was going to fucking happen.

>>761540

>Hori has continually used works in interesting and unique ways the entire story

>Hahaha, I'm so superior for assuming anything and everything will be shit

>>761626

Pretty much. The big problem is that Hori actually had the perfect opportunity to explain it, with Eric, and actually has a track record of playing his characters/story smart.

This wasn't smart, it was basic. Which Hero Academia has been good at avoiding before this point.

>>761540

Nigger are you really getting all high and mighty because people expected a manga that has consistently delivered so far for 3 years to keep delivering, not in a spectacular way, but just in a decent way, and it didn't?

>>761656

AM had no real idea what the visions were and I'm suspect Nighteye is just deluding himself. What he foretold will still probably happen. Deku just delayed it.

>>761633

Can't be perfect forever, son.

I'm just glad the biggest failing of this series so far is only one unsatisfying plotline conclusion

>>761664

>Nighteye is just deluding himself.

That's not how storytelling in anime work, friend. No one ever lies in anime, either on accident or on purpose. If someone says a character is acting because of (reasons), those reasons are fact. If someone talks about a old fairytale about the town their living in, that fairytale is fact. If someone talks about how they believe something is, it's fact.

I didn't want Hori to say Deku changed his fate through sheer willpower, but pretending like that still might not be the case is just delusional thinking at this point.

>>761669

Hopefully, at least. This could be "the moment" when the story just starts going retarded from now on. I certainly hope that isn't the case, but I won't be surprised if it is.

>>761678

Okay, but what if he was telling the truth but through some easily misconstrued metaphor a la Obi Wan Kenobi saying Vader "killed" Luke's dad?

>>761656

The energy from wishing shit really pissed me off. The wording/theme is completely from left field and just clunky.

He was doing fine up until that point.

>chances are this will never get a good explanation along with the OfA ghosts

My head canon is his ability sees someone's future through normal-space time, giving him pictures on the assumption it has not manipulated. Their encounter involved a being who could reverse time, which distorted the prediction. That's why he was correct in his prediction of his own death, but incorrect about Deku's death, who had his time reversed by quirk fiat and would have otherwise died(literally the first time it was used on him was as he was in mid air and couldn't change course, about to be disassembled).

Think of it like any other disrupting quirk interaction. It's not that his quirk didn't work properly, just that it was partially negated.

>>761678

How is this any different from the OfA ghosts from the tournament? There are clearly aspects about Deku's quirk that haven't been fully explained or at least exploited yet. Even the fact that Hori said OfA percentages tied into the user's emotional state makes a seemingly simple super strength ability look more vague and mysterious.

I feel like Deku's OfA is really starting to border on being the force from star wars. All the telltale signs are there and Hori is self proclaimed SW nerd, so I can entertain that idea.

Shigaraki delivering the masterstroke was nice and I'm glad Vault Boy lost his quirk. So nice to have to have consequence stick to characters for once, even if it's just a minor character.

>OfA ghosts

I think that's just the genetic imprint from the previous OfA users. The quirk stockpiles power but we're not really sure just how strong Nana Shimura or the previous users were like and it might snowball out of control from all the collective power and one of the successors might level a city turning their head alittle too fast. No idea why All Might's ghost is him in his wimpy form though.

>>761384

Horikoshi is a westaboo and Japan is the 2nd or 3rd biggest consumer of comics from the US. With how poorly written, hamfisted, straw manned and overtly political DC and Marvel is I don't think that's too surprising.

>>761877

>The quirk stockpiles power

But what kind of power? Do you really think everyone who added to it was a super strength hero?

>>761942

>But what kind of power?

Physical potential? After all it grows with the user growing.

>>761942

Let's say someone starts lifting, and they get really fucking huge.

Then somehow they transfer that strength to you, but your physical body hasn't changed.

Now your baseline is the previous guy's strength.

You start lifting, and so now you have your own physical strength, combined with the previous guy's.

Now do that for eight people, and you Deku.

Not sure if this was intentional, but this also explain a few things

>Why Nana wasn't a roid monster

>Why All Might took to OfA so easily

and

>Why Deku had such a hard time getting to grips with it

>>761877

>No idea why All Might's ghost is him in his wimpy form though.

Because that's his actual form. The All Might body is from him flexing specifically to make himself look more impressive.

>>761954

I've always wondered why Deku didn't just start lifting actual weights. Whatever the fuck he's doing now is useless considering he's still the gay twig he was in the beginning.

>>761998

He's like 13 and has a six pack and well defined biceps. He's not huge because a 13 year old can't be huge, but he's been lifting if I remember correctly. Remember it hasn't even been a year since he got OFA.

>>761998

>>762007

Deku is shown to be CONSTANTLY excercising his body. In class he does the "sitting" exercise. When doing his homework he's using a grip strength exercise. When browsing the internet, he's lifting weights. They constantly spread around little moments to show Deku is always training. They don't have story arcs dedicated to him weight training, but he's clearly always training his body.

>>762010

A year of solid lifting will give you very, very good results if you're someone as autistic as Deku. The argument could be made that Deku hasn't reached puberty yet and thus can't fully benefit from weight training, but an in universe explanation for why he has the gay is needed.

>>761954

Okay, but we know there's still several users of OfA besides Nana that we nothing about. What if one or more of them already had a quirk when they were first trasnsferred OfA?

Granted it would have to be a really useless or explicitly situational quirk (like Shinsou's), but if it were something capable of muddling reality, it could explain Deku being able to twist fate if the OfA package AM gave him included traces of other abilities along with the stacked strength.

I really don't want to accept Hori doing something so hacky as "wishing energy" when before he had executed the most subtle Toga reveal we could've asked for

>>762751

Absolutely anything would be better than "THE POWER OF BELIEVING." Hell, I'd like it better if there was some ghost that came in Deku's mouth while he was sleeping that temporarily granted him the power of being excluded from fate. As long as he didn't do it just by giving it his ganbarimasu, I'll be happier.

Here's hoping Eri never wakes up and/or dies.

Otherwise I just see her resurrecting Sir and healing All Might and giving Tintin back his powers, then becoming some kind of deus ex machina that gets passed between heroes and villains so that nobody never dies.

>>762769

>Eri wakes up

>Heals All-Might back to full strength

>Decide to use this power to help everyone

>Try to heal Mirio

>Mirio gets retconned from existence because Eri can't control her powers

>Eri gets her hands on the power removal shit to get rid of her powers

>Later, full-power All Might still gets killed, setting up a huge threat that Deku has to overcome.

It could work.

>>762769

Seriously reread what Aizawa fucking says about her.

>>762818

>Choices are either "certain death" or "possible death"

>Choose "certain death"

Ok

>>762829

>little girl almost lost her mind healing constantly breaking arms

>let's have her try reversing a complete biological shutdown known as a dead body

What could go wrong

>>762893

I meant before he dies. I'm 100% sure if they did try it, Hori would say you can't bring back a dead body.

>>762899

That would have been a terrible cop out.

>>762899

First of all, making Deku actually have lasted damage for his shennanigans is one of the things that makes HeroAca widely loved. Secondly, doing that would have risked killing Deku, because it was clear that bad shit was happening to him already. Thirdly, that would have risked Deku losing One-For-All, which would have been the worst thing imaginable for basically everyone.

>>762900

I feel like we're headed for a worse cop-out with all these grave warnings about how badly he's fucking himself up. It's such an annoying cliche to have a hero granted a power that does them long term harm or shortens their lifespan, but there's never any real consequences for them abusing that power for the entire series.

The ultimate payoff was that Deku decides he should use his legs instead of his fists, despite having nothing special about his legs. The scars and damage is still hanging around, though. I want them to shit or get off the pot, because this either ends with Deku exploding himself to save the day at the end of the series, or he goes on to be the greatest hero ever and there's never any real problem with him shattering his bones a few thousand times per arc.

>>762902

>The ultimate payoff was that Deku decides he should use his legs instead of his fists,

That wasn't the payoff of his injuries, that was natural progression of the character. He isn't going to only ever use his legs from now on, he clearly intends to use his legs until he gets a full handle on his powers so he doesn't risk his arms.

There's nothing wrong with Deku not ever losing the use of his arms. The fact that he has scarring and they look mangled is enough. We don't NEED to have him lose a fucking arm, just like we don't need to have a character die to establish a threat. All that matters is that the danger is believable, and if you're going to complain that the danger isn't believable because it won't/doesn't happen, then you clearly have no business reading any sort of fiction.

>>762916

I suppose you make a good point. I'm just overly frustrated with series that warn of severe consequences, and then just conveniently forget that the power the character has been using was supposed to shorten their lifespan or strain their body to a deadly level if used too many times.

>>762939

That's what's great about Deku's arms being fucked. Sure, he's never going to lose function of them or anything. But it's now part of his character design that his hands are mangled. It shows he's been places and he's pushed it too far. Saying some special move "costs your life force" is fucking stupid. It's why I hated the ending to Outlaw Star. Nothing ever came of it.

>>762899

That would re-set his training as well.

If Eri turns back time in a sense, then all of Dekus memories and experiences would also have to be turned back.

This is why hax shit powers like these sucks. The writers never think of implications enough.

>>761376

>>761378

>Mirio teaches other heroes fighting - proper fighting - as well as other logistics that they might overlook thanks to their Quirks, employing and probably fucking the shit out of Bubbles

These used to be the only threads on 8chan that weren't defined by people complaining about a thing, and instead contained people talking about how great it was. God dammit, Hori. At least we still have Mousou Telepathy.

>>763129

I got it. It doesn't make it any less retarded.

>>763075

I'd rather have actual discussions instead of dicksucking contests.

>>763129

>>763130

>>763067

It's annoying, it seems like Nighteye's quirk changed or wasn't explained properly. I originally thought it was seeing the likeliest outcome of situations, with room to then respond. The scene with Deku trying to get the stamp off him seemed to prove this, with Deku obscuring Nighteye's vision not being successful because Nighteye still knew where he'd be and responded. Then Nighteye starts saying his quirk is never wrong and there's nothing that can be done to change the outcomes, meaning his quirk is fucking worthless because apparently there's nothing you can do to change things even if you know. Now, this serious character who has had a logical, no bullshit attitude this entire arc has turned around and theorised his quirk can be overcome by people trying hard enough. What a crock of shit. I'm glad he's dead, this whole arc has felt irrelevant, like an OVA. The only portion that mattered was Shigaraki stealing the Quirk remover and antidote.

This arc could've been all about the League of Villains, really. Deku gained fuck all from this except a feeling of worthlessness compared to Mirio.

Let us never speak of this arc again.

>>763067

Yeah God forbid this jaded asshole who spent his entire life believing in absolutes finally have his lifestyle bite him in the ass. I'd rather spend the rest of the series believing he was pointless and not a cautionary tale that will influence Deku just like every other encounter has.

>>763245

>Yeah God forbid this jaded asshole who spent his entire life believing in absolutes finally have his lifestyle bite him in the ass.

That could have worked if you A) Removed Eri's powers from the plotline and B) Turned Nighteye into an arrogant fuckhole who made his quirk seem amazing. Instead, we're treated with the most calm and analytical character we've seen in the whole story failing to properly analyze what his own power was. If Nighteye instead made a big deal about how fucking arrogant he was because he was once All-Might's sidekick, and he had the "incorruptible power to view the future" and falsely assumed what his power was because he wanted to believe he was that strong, it would have worked a lot better. Hell, we had the fucking infallible narrator state his powers, the same one that states everyone else's powers, and has up to this point been treated as the word of god when it comes to how someone's power's work.

>>763242

> this serious character who has had a logical, no bullshit attitude this entire arc has turned around and theorised his quirk can be overcome by people trying hard enough

Thats the biggest reason he might be bullshitting.

>>763253

> Turned Nighteye into an arrogant fuckhole who made his quirk seem amazing.

Wasn't this reinforced by him being the super AM nerd? He was so obsessed with trying to prevent him from dying that he tried plenty of times to change the future.

It's like what >>763129 was saying with him being so afraid of his visions that he couldn't accept the possibilitty of alternative outcomes. It'd be the same if he were arrogant; he'd be so certain that his prediction was 100% that he could never entertain the idea of he might be wrong.

>>763242

>Deku gained fuck all from this except a feeling of worthlessness compared to Mirio.

Don't jump to conclusions. His peers all witnessed him taking down a mafia boss clean. Not only is that a boost from that bullshit Bakugou fight, but how do you suppose his classmates and mother will react?

>>763368

>they're gonna use Eri as a sort of deus ex machina to reverse bad things that happen

I hope they try using her, but it backfires and kills someone.

>>763368

>This adds nothing to Deku as a character, he didn't really learn anything from this experience except not to hesitate to save someone in danger which he would've done anyway had Mirio not been such a pansy ass

Nigga, what manga are you reading? The whole point of Mirio was for him to be an example that even the greatest of heroes are susceptible to terrible consequences. They spent the whole first half of the arc building him as this super powerhouse who can solo an entire class of hero kids, and on top of that Nighteye flat out tells Deku "you're shit and Mirio should be AM's successor."

Now think if you were Deku and you just witnessed this guy get everything that made him great get stripped away. Mirio is literally the ideal OfA candidate in the context of everyone's opinions this chapter, something you're striving to be everyday. That's a cautionary tale for you, isn't it? This guy tried to be heroic no matter what and as a result will now live the rest of his life at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the world. You ask yourself, "how can I grow to be the best without ending up like him?"

Deku is going to harken back to these events later on, he'll almost have to. Don't write it off because "oh future powers r dumb"

Many of you keep complaining that the quirks aren't "properly explained." I wonder how much of this may be the fault of the translators and not Hori? Can anyone here read Jap and give insight?

I wish Fallen Angels was still translating. I miss how he would sometimes have sections at the end of the chapter explaining how he decided to translate things in certain ways.

>>763523

>Many of you keep complaining that the quirks aren't "properly explained."

THIS QUIRK wasn't. Nighteye's quirk is the only quirk that wasn't properly explained out of the whole fucking story, which is why we're mad. Every other time a quirk is described, that description could be treated as word of god.

>>763537

The quirks, as in, Nighteye's and Eri's quirks, retard.

>>763523

>I wish Fallen Angels was still translating. I miss how he would sometimes have sections at the end of the chapter explaining how he decided to translate things in certain ways.

Same. I wish more translators would do this. It helps give a lot more context and allows for better audience interaction. There's a translator for Mob Psycho 100 who does this on their Tumblr and it's always a good read.

>>763129

Eri's powers probably fucked with his quirk. If it is 'Turn back time' then it fucks with time, and time is the basis of Nighteye's quirk, therefore fucking with said quirk.

This is E Z grade shit right here no need to be confuse.

>>763872

>plot twist

>defending it

Go home kiddo.

>>764080

He's right you know. At least cuckchan isn't needlessly pessimistic about harmless superhero stories.

>>764257

Then go back. Holy shit. We don't want dicksuckers who can't argue against points made and instead complains that some people aren't enjoying the arc. Take your faggot attitude and leave.

>All Might was hearing Deku´s offer.

Shit. Wonder how he will react.

>>764280

Even Todoroki can't stand Bakugo's faggotry

So is the new Big Guy going to be taken down by Deku, or by a team effort (ending with Deku delivering the final blow)?

>Lemilion loses his quirk by Eri's bullet

>Overhaul loses his quirk by having his arms destroyed

>both have failed their teachers

I really want a spin-off following these two as they learn to work together and fight crime. They make a fun couple.

>>765861

I want to see him wreck Bakugo without even having his quirk. It would be the perfect beat-down.

A new thread for the next chapter or wait until this one reaches to the end?

>>766682

Go ahead.

>>767248

Wait, i thought the police found her (dead from blood loss?) body, how is she here? Or is it just Toga working overtime for the league?

>>767261

I guess she didn't die from blood loss.
