…Wow. XD I really need to watch this anime.

While going over the chapter again just now, I had a thought:
We know that Fallout Boy Mirio was suggested to All Might as a potential successor. It's also been heavily implied that he studied under Sir Supermoto, who in turn is implied to have been All Might's former sidekick.
With this in mind: Is it possible that Sir is the one who suggested Mirio to All Might as a successor? If so, how will he feel if/when he realizes All Might picked Deku instead?
-
So as much as I am following series I think it has amazing potential for future. It had some fantastic moments, it has evolving art and all feels like build up.
It would feel crazy good to get Golden Age of heroes flashback in length of entire volume and for us to get to see main characters finishing school and likes of Miro being actually very high as pro heroes.
Then of course our lovable bad guys.. I would like to see some quivalent of Miro among villains. Handy man is so so but he is yet to weak and too young to be very impressive, his role is to grow along with story.
I would enjoy some baddie with his own goals and history with some older heroes. Potential is there but still all in all this manga is good, not great yet. Just wanting to drop my opinion - maybe somebody shares urge to see some more villains ?
-
Mirio's power is like Obito's…phasing out any part of body and solidifying only when attacking.

Can't wait for emo Kakashi and naggy Rin to strut their powers. Sir might as well have super speed/teleportation.

SHIT. WENT. DOWN. HARD.
I hope Shigi gets sweet sweet revenge. -
Well, that was unexpectedly brutal.
It's like villain chapters are set in a completely different setting.
-
WOOOHOOO! That was refreshing for a shounen! Use of deadly force left and right, actually spending time developing the villains, showing the shadowy interactions in a clear way, while still keeping us guessing! When was the last time a mainstream shounen series did that so effectively, without giving away the whole of the plan, and without seeming mundane or cliché?
Colour me impressed. MHA gets better and better, and as of right now, is probably the best series in Jump. And yes, that includes One Piece. After the mess that was Dressrosa I can't bring myself to hold it in as high a regard…
-
This was brutal. So, the yakuza just broke them down?

surprising development

Poor Overhaul. Can you even choose between being a good guy or a bad guy with an ability like that?
Overhaul, the contender for #1 hero. Ability: making body parts explode in a bloody mess through skin contact.
-
That was a refreshing and intense turn of events. Overhaul just pulled a Vinsmoke. It was cool how not only Ovarhaul out did handman but was even clarifying it was not All Might, but One for All that has made him start his plan.
-
Holy shit, I'm pretty sure no one would have ever expected things to turn out this way. Right now I only hope that Magne is actually dead and that
DeadpoolCompress really lost his arm, I don't want this series to pull a One Piece on us. It really permanently changes the tone of the series when people could actually die at any moment (well, side characters at the very least) . -
It wasn't twice but compress.
-
I just noticed that Magne is seen hanging out with his friend in Chapter 115. His whole mini-flashback speech about the courage to go outside of the box of logic's shackles sounds a lot like an analogy meant to subtly depict that his friend is struggling with coming out about their gender identity to me. If their design wasn't obvious enough. I hope that even though Magne is dead, something happens with the friend plot-wise so that he wasn't just an expendable death.

Actually, I theorized beforehand that Overhaul's design probably has to do with deconstruction and fusion Humpty Dumpty-style from how he talks, the plague doctor design theme, and the panel of the criminal being fused with the tire in Chapter 115. Destroying/"repairing" like that fits a corrupt doctor theme. Looks like I'm on the right track.
!
!
!
!Now we know why Twice decided to try recruiting them.
I also predicted that Shigaraki would meet adversity towards his goal of replacing All for One and has to eventually learn how to put his foot down about who's really in charge. All for One did tease it in Chapter 115 as well.
!
This chapter is an excellent way to start that up with lots of suspense and stakes. It's going to be so glorious when Shigaraki pulls the rug under Overhaul. And the best possible scenario at play here is for Shigaraki to, not kill him, but somehow manipulate/overwhelm him into submission. Enough to make Overhaul the League of Villains' healer party member like Shigaraki alluded to wanting early in the series. That would be the best way to showcase Shigaraki's rise to power in being the next icon of villainy in lieu of All for One.
-
Huh, now that I see it again, the big guy in Overhaul's group wasn't as huge as he is in this chapter.
Maybe he is a Bane wannabe?

Was Magne's sexuality discussed sometime?
Do you mean in the manga? No, and it's unlikely to ever see that disclosed by Horikoshi outside of explicit story events since he is adamant about forbidding villain bios that talk about their personal lives due to wanting to keep them as looking mysterious and inhumane. But Tiger, the male member of the Pussycats, is confirmed in Volume 9 to be a transgender man. And there has been fan intrigue about Jirou possibly being lesbian.
-
Did anyone got a Germa vibe when Overhaul "used" Shield?
-
Meanwhile, Magne is super dead. Was the same Quirk used?
Yeah, they seem to be in eternal agony.
Maybe somebody else in his crew used the fusing ability, but I doubt that Horikoshi would want to hype up anybody besides the leader in that context. There has to be more to Overhaul than making people implode, or else it's just a flashier version of Shigaraki's Quirk (although that might have been done on purpose to make them parallel with each other and eventually have some epic touch of death fast draw showdown later on). And bringing up Magne's past like that feels too random to not become relevant somehow.
Personally, I don't mind Magne dying due to his lack of memorable characterization up to this point and his Quirk being WAY too restrictively contextual.

I wanted to mention that in my first comment, but forgot due to being in a rush lol.
-
Is this the first on-screen death we've had in the series? I guess maybe some Nomus and mooks might have died but this has to be the first established character to actually die, as thin as he was. Mad hype for Overhaul, and a further underlining of the transition the series is taking post-All Might.
I have to assume that this will spill out into the streets in some way so we can get our heroes involved. Deku actually helping Shigaraki's plans by fighting the Eight Precepts (sick name by the way) will only deepen the rivalry between them.
-
Good ol' villian chapter. I like the fact that Overhaul pointed out to Shigaraki, that if he doesn't have a plan then all of that gathered strength will become meaningless. Also I have noticed that it seems as if Overhaul has a better handle on his group than Shigaraki does on his. Granted, now it seems like Shigaraki's group is starting to feel more like a group and, not just a rag tag bunch with no sense of unity. Since Overhaul was a Yakuza at one given point in time, his leadership does make sense. I feel like horikoshi created this character to act like Shigaraki's wall. That this character is whom Shigaraki will have to ""defeat"" in order to cement himself as the head of the villian organization. In a way Overhaul to Shigaraki is like Mirio to Izuku.I could be wrong but that is how I see it.
-

According to some translation I read in the past, Magne uses female pronouns. Also, Spinner addresses them as "sister"
-
8 precepts of death is a Buddhist thing right? I wonder what the other 7 look like assuming that Overhauls goons are actually goons and not members
-
Damn that death was just brutal and took me by surprised.
I like the conflict that is developing. I fully expect Facepalm to come out on top but I will say I see Overhaul as the more threatning one. As he say if you are to be taken seriously you need an actual plan.
Interesting to know crime organization are pretty much a thing of the past.
P.S.: Shield/wall is now a thing. I expect it to become as suddenly popular than the throwing of giant meteor.

How about using a meteor as a shield

I actually noticed that as well. In particular, Spinner's addressing. He would refer to Magne as "Mag-nee", like "nee" in Onee-chan (thus, sister).
Subtle, but it was there.

It's most likely the goons, meaning there are two more unaccounted for.
-
What I find the most appealing about the villain league is the fact that we can follow the beginning and expansion of a central antagonistic force, something I haven't seen that often. And even if some authors give their villain groups screentime, it's mostly just shenanigans, imo.

Hey, I never reread any part of MHA so I can't quite remember. And maybe it was in some other manga I read.
But is there a reason why that dart that negated Compress' quirk reminds me of something?

That leaves 7.
There's also a chance that as the leader, he doesn't count as one of the eight. It's unlikely, but you never know lol.
-
That leaves 7.
In shonen, villian groups members don't get fodderized like that right out the gate lol. I'm more willing to a bet a member of an "8 precepts of death" wouldn't get killed off 1 page after their intro. Besides, there's more to the Yakuza than just Overhaul as he has mentioned elders, so the gang sounds to be pretty large
-
After reading more details on Magne here I'm more sad to see her go. More interesting considering Magne's gender related quirk. Also love the Villain Alliance members seemed genuinely upset over Magne's death. Things wouldn't have went so well for Overhaul if Spinner, Kurogiri and Dabi were there. With any luck they'll come back with new recruits ready to rumble.
Someone on Overhaul's team can inhibit quirks, not good. Poor Mr. Compress. Hope AFO's doctor or the Broker can get him a metal arm. Someone mentioned it before but the parallel of the good and bad guys fighting to fill the number one spot is great. A good way for each side to build up power and experience before the next Good/Evil fight. Unless Team Sir finds Overhaul first, leaving the Villain Alliance to finish them off later. …Or Overhaul and the remains of his group, if any, join up with the VA.

There's no way his organization is any bigger than those goons. That would be too many characters already, not to mention going against the fact that those yakuza groups are supposed to be almost extinct. His elders could easily refer to older yakuzas of his generation (FA translation uses "old-timers" instead).
And guys getting worfed happen all the time in shonen. Bleach did it with at least 3 Quincy against Kenpachi. Maybe more. And I remember Hunter x Hunter killing Chimera Ant leaders left and right (mostly from their own king), with some not even getting names.

Not sure how it would be too farfetched for his Yakuza group to be larger than what we just saw. It's completely possible. You could be right but it's unlikely that that's the case

Not to mention that they're all wearing similar types of masks. Even design-wise, you can tell that at least some of these guys will be expendable.

I wouldn't expect anything more than a few generic henchmen and getting to see the elders Overhaul talked about (who are probably too old to even be capable of fighting for all we know. Although I would love to be wrong and see a villain or two from Gran Torino's generation). Besides, they just got introduced to the story out of the blue without any build-up aside from Chapter 115. They seem intimidating, sure. But not really a memorable long-term threat past this or the next arc. Who knows though.

Can we have a separate thread for Vigilantes maybe? It's a spinoff but it has its own following and discussion. Doesn't seem like it fits in this convo thread.

There's no need for that at all. Barely anybody is going to talk about Vigilante for more than a brief while after a new chapter comes out, and it's closely linked to My Hero Academia's worldbuilding lore. Giving it its own thread would be redundant and finite for sure.

You guys seem to think that the name of their group refers to the amount of members it has.
Look up the definition of "precept." Their name most likely refers to their group's rules/creed rather than it's member count.
-

Because typically shonen antagonist groups that have numbers in their names refers to the amount of members they have. I understand what you mean by how the Eightfold Path could relate to principles or an abstract concept rather than the amount of members, but plenty of shonen manga have executed that in a literal fashion to define the amount of members in a group and each member's respective design/power theme. Such as the Seven Deadly Sins and the Ten Commandments in Nanatsu no Taizai. Each member probably represents a specific precept.
Also, another translation of Overhaul's faction name from the chapter came out as "The Eightfold Cleansers". Which makes a lot more sense when looking at the plague doctor design motif. So it's pretty much confirmed that they're a team of eight.
