I like how Sheep Midoriya still has his trademark shoes.
And how Bakugou refuses to be a furry.
That's only because Bakugou already acts like an animal.

He's not furry he's feral
According to someone on Reddit:
! -It seems that Mirio shares the same birthday as Midoriya.
-Pony hails from America and she is Japanese-American. She likes Apples and Japanese Anime.
-Nejire likes lily flowers and tea.
-Mirio likes comedy and ramen while Tamaki likes butterflies.
-Awata Kaoruko(Bubble Girl) likes baths.
It's still working fine on me.

Who's the frog? I'm assuming the monkey is Ojiro.
I also desperately need Kirishima as some cute fluffy animal sitting on Bakugou's head.

I thought the frog was Tsuyu.
For the animal ones my favorites are Elk Might and the Kouta turtle
It's a chapter about Suneater. And it's cool.

I seriously hope the heroes start getting some casualties. As cool as this manga is, the fact the villains didn't manage to do one thing right so far is quickly taking the feeling of danger away.
Plus, it annoys me we just saw a pro + four side kicks (including one of the UA big three) staying behind to take care of one of those 8 guys and now suddenly we have one of the UA big three taking care of three of the 8 guys by himself.
I care nothing about Suneater so this chapter did nothing for me.
But let's address the elephant in the room: Aizawa's retcon
This was a nice chapter, but I was also a bit disappointed in some ways, where the fast pace of this series backfired. I would've liked to see a lot more interaction with Mirio and Suneater in the flashback, since I am always a sucker for these kinds of relationships, the outgoing person befriending the loner type person. Then we get the explanation behind where he got the name Sun Eater, but we didn't really get to see examples in the flashback from how Mirio came up with it. I guess in some ways this current chapter showed a little of it with him taking charge, but it didn't really click for me. It's hard for me to place it, there's just feels like some things were missing to really give this chapter the impact it could've had.
Deathflags! Deathflags everywhere!

But let's address the elephant in the room: Aizawa's retcon
What retcon?
We know his Quirk stops working when he blinks or closes his eyes, which is the time limit that was pointed out.

I think he had to be constantly looking at the person to erase his or her quirk. This chapter has stated that the effect last a while after he stops looking at people.
Yeah I was confused by Aizawa too.
The line in question was like, "…before the time limit wears off," the language of which alone is weird since it's a little strange, in a nuanced way, to talk about time limits in the context of a binary action->effect (closed vs. open-> Quirk vs. no Quirk). The bad guys don't know about the blinking thing (they've barely even heard of Eraser Head), so it's not like they're waiting for just the right 1/10 of a second to strike back. Then Setsuno is like "Oh man, he whammied me again. Creepy," as if the effect is still in play. Unless the implication is that Setsuno assumes there's a lingering effect without actually trying his Quirk to be sure? The mystery factor is when exactly Aizawa left the room, and was he or was he not running backwards while staring at the three goons to give Amajiki as much time as possible?
I doubt Horikoshi is actually doing a retcon, but the sequence and dialogue are definitely confusing.
I was always under the impression the Erasure quirk lasted til he blinked. So I assumed he just ran away without blinking and so the quirk kept working
I like the origin of the name Sun eater. Dude seems to be suffering some chronic depression. It makes sense that Mirio was the one to came up. It always seemed a little to boastful for his personality.
Eraser's power is suddenly confusing me a little as I don't rememer a time limit thing. I think it was all about always looking at the person.
I enjoyed the chapter even if the relation seemed somewhat wooden to me.
I was also under the impression Eraser head could only cancel one quirk at a time. And that he had to be looking at them at all times (hence the blink thing cancelling the quirk's effect as he can't see). I guess it makes sense that the time limit is not when he stops looking at them (because he blinked), but rather when he actually blinks, even if he's no longer looking at them in the first place… but it's not very good pseudoscience (idk what I was thinking, something like quirk-erasing eyebeams that work in straight lines?), and certainly feels like a Jojo style Stand Retcon (looking at you pt. 5 Giorno!!!)
Well, whatever the effect of this, I don't really see it affecting the plot too much going forward. Although it does bug me. a lot.
(idk what I was thinking, something like quirk-erasing eyebeams that work in straight lines?)
That's always how I thought about it.
And, like, if he could train his eyes to move independently like a chameleon's, he could separate the twinbeams and aim one at each of two different people.
…Aizawa x Asui = Chameleoraser
<_<
_>
I'm happy to know many saw his powers the same way as me. At least I know that the impression that some retcon happen is normal.
Maybe he's just bluffing?
But yeah, the multiple targets and extended duration are both things that are really throwing me off.

Was it ever stated that he had to maintain eyesight on someone in order to work? His Quirk introduction only mentioned that he could erase the Quirk by looking at someone, and that the effect went away after blinking.
I mean, what I remember being stated was that Aizawa's specialty was fights against a bunch of enemies (Musou-style), which would be weird if his Quirk could only work in a specific line of sight. He more likely only requires looking at someone once for it to work, and the effects wear away when he blinks.
Incidentally, CCC, could you explain better what was that deal with Aizawa vs. Shigaraki during Chapter 16? I remember Shigaraki counting down and then explaining something about his hair and intervals, but the translation I have access to is wonky.

Suposedely after some times his hair would get in the way which would force him to reset his powers(which would go with having to see people to block them). But as time pass and Eraser was getting sloppier his hair would take less and less time to get in the way.
It never occurred to me that the effect lasts as long as he doesn't blink (even if he stops looking at them), but that would explain…everything up until now. Like, most of his behavior. So in the latest chapter, he must've been straining to keep his eyes open while running away from the room (to squeeze out as much time for Amajiki as possible).
EDIT: Yeah the Shigaraki thing was just timing the gaps between blinks. Plus, Aizawa was using his swinging hair as an excuse to blink (for efficiency's sake).

Both the anime and the translations I've seen say that Shigaraki was timing the duration that Aizawa could keep from blinking and that it decreased over time with use.
Also, Aizawa's goggles are stated to be specifically for hiding his eyes from opponents so they can't see who he's looking at. If he can scan a number of people and block them all for a period of time, who he's looking at at any given moment wouldn't really matter that much.
What did Aizawa done with Scarecrow anyway?
Looked kind of like an elbow strike to me?

It would as he still has a time limit of blinking intervals, which end up resetting his Quirk. If he's looking at the right and blinks, then someone in the left could strike if he notices where Aizawa is looking at.
I agree this looks like a retcon, but the explanation was always vague enough that it allowed for multiple interpretations, and the 'real' explanation seems to be the one you wouldn't naturally consider. Specifically the explanation for his goggles, the phrasing (at least in English) made it seem like the main purpose was to hide who he was looking at and when; I guess the explanation now is it's to hide "how it works", meaning when it wears off. Seems a bit ineffective though given people notice as soon as it returns? Granted I'm working off of my own memory here, so I'm sure someone like King Cannon can source and cite for CCC to check the raws for a better read on the goggles explanation.
I guess the key line is in volume 2, page 134, panel 2.
"その上ゴーグルで目線を隠されていては「誰を消しているのか」分からない"
"And those goggles hide his eyes [edited by editor from my original: line of sight], so we don't know whose Quirk he's cancelling."
I would've read the present continual tense of "cancelling" (a distinct choice over "cancelled") as implying the "he has to keep looking at you for the duration" interpretation, but it's still ambiguous enough to go the other way too, because he could be passively "cancelling" their Quirks by virtue of just keeping his eyes open.
The eyebeams concept just always seemed more natural :P

Indeed. The original explanation never mentioned anything about needing to be constantly in Aizawa's line of sight in order for it to work. It said that he could cancel the Quirk of anyone he looked at, and "blinking" was the only thing mentioned that cancelled Aizawa's Quirk. It was super literal.
It's less retcon and more details that took too long to show up.
Liked Suneater's story. Could this be Hori building him up as the next number one student after Mirio dies/loses his quirk? Hmm…

I think Rock Lock and the other pro heroes not apart of UA or mentoring are screwed. If not, at least permanently lose their quirks.
With the way the first three bullets went down the Villain Alliance will have to show just to give the heroes a challenge.
…Wait. Other translations also went with Rock Lock? Instead of Lock Lock, Lock Rock, or Rock Rock!? What are the odds! ...1 in 4, I guess.

Rock Lock sounds better, probably because Rock can be used as an adjective.

He'll always be Lock and Lobe to me
For reference though, viz went with Rock Lock as well.

For a moment I had read that as Rock Lee.
Can someone explain to me why people are expecting Mirio to die or quit heroing in this arc? I'm confused because from everything we know he's supposed to be the top student at a prestigious hero school. It would be pretty dumb for him to bite it on the first mission we see him on, and its not like we know his character well so it wouldn't even have an effective impact. Are there some obvious flags or something that I'm missing?
it's time to send Bones a gift basket
Duuuuuuude. That last attack in the anime today looked epic! They totally nailed it's intensity!
Bones earned a cookie for that one.
Catching up with the anime, Hoshiroki still hasn't continued Ochako's character development.

Just general nostradamus'ing and tvtropes pandering.
Nothing to say about the episode except I see why Hori cried watching the fight. Bravo! Not much else to do but wait for Gran Torino and Stain.
I just really want to rematch that last strike over amd over. It was just so satisfying.
Vigilante Jump Giga extra chapter is out on Mangastream
Suicide bomber looks like a Megaman villains reject, and they totally wasted the opportunity naming Midnight's boys, they should've called them Midnight Crew or Midnight Club
Bakugou's cousin?
Seriously, how early is this set compared to the main series? Aizawa has an established reputation as a hardass by the time Midoriya gets there.
since All Might doesn't seems injured in the spinoff, it's set at least 5 years before the main series, no?
We saw Midoriya at some point in the series though, as a sillouhette. And the whole 'trigger' situation can't be that far from the present. Also, All Might is injured, that's why he wasn't available for the meeting (is what I understood at least).
I think we should just take this chapter and abstract it from the canon Illegal's timeframe… if you start rationalising it it doesn't make sense. It's a pretty nice story though, lets just leave it at that.
Knuckleduster being Endeavor brother, that would be nice.
CCC, in chapter 41 of the eWSJ you refer to all might's master as a he, I know that there was no way to know at the time, just to let you know.
