! Is Ochako considered a mutant type? I mean she can accidentally float her self and things and has to sleep with mittens on. But is that technically considered always active? Like Mineta? It's just there but has a second property?

! Wonder how much Toga has to live. With all that supposed internal bleeding and stuff.
! Uraraka's plot armor came with her quirk.
! I think that Toga´s quirk is a case of having a quirk, but not fully understanding it, not a mutation or a improved version. I don´t follow Illegals, but I remember that someone said the MC had a similar thing happen to him, with better pacing though. That said, of all quirks, Ochako is the simplest to use and is quite deadly if you don´t care about killing your rivals.
! Yeah, Koichi's quirk improvement is a slow but believable build up that keeps paying off every time he does something new. He's the poster boy for how far you can take your quirk if you understand and train it.
! I admit, I forgot about Uraraka's weight limitation, but if it's based on her physical strength, stamina, etc., I can see Toga having no problem taking care of all those people. She's got Uraraka beat physically.! Is Ochako considered a mutant type? I mean she can accidentally float her self and things and has to sleep with mittens on. But is that technically considered always active? Like Mineta? It's just there but has a second property?
! I think its always on. Does that make her a mutant type? I guess. If touching her fingers is more like blocking the power instead of completely stopping it, then yes.

! On the other hand I think that a good limitation for her would be that using quirks makes the consumed blood less efective by a lot margin, someone pointed out that the Ochako´s transformation started to decay rather soon without reason at all, so maybe it´s true. So it would be a less effective quirk in a one vs one battle than quirks like Stain, Monoma or AFO´s! As for the decay she only got uraraka once and didnt get too much of her blood, so her pnly being able use it for a bitbmakes sense whether or not theres a stamina cost

Vigilantes chapter 52 is out!
! I love Captain Celebrity's wife. They make a good couple. Gotta hand it to the author for getting the US hero world down. From the paparazzi, to the scummy fake friends, to the law suits, it felt like he did his homework. It's also nice seeing things from C.C.'s perspective.
! Was getting death flags from the flashback until Aizawa and Best Jeanist showed up. Still a chance C.C. can die but I don't think it's happening now. Of course, now would be the perfect time for it to happen. Man, I'm loving this arc. -

! Killing C.C. would be best, but the Villain Factory's got loads of data from Bomb Nomu punching the crap out of him. That might be enough.
! Thinking about it more, unless C.C. dies after the fact later, he can't die until everyone in Sky Egg is safe. -

Hey guys me and my friends were talking about the best rivals in shonen manga series, the whole idea of rivals who push each other to get stronger, try to out do one another and sometimes working toward the same goal is one of my fav things about manga in general
I think the main rivalry between Deku and Bakugo in this series is an awesome one
what do you guys think are some of the best or worst rivalry's in manga?
I love
Goku vs Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z)
Deku vs Bakugo (My Hero Academia)
Asta vs Yuno (black clover)
Oga vs Tojo (beelzebub)
Death the kid vs Black Star (soul eater)Rivalry's I was not a fan of
1. Naruto vs Sasuke (Naruto)
2. Natsu vs Grey (Fairy Tail)what do you guys think?

That is the downside of the folks that just look different but have no additional powers. He and uhh…Tail boy should start a league of their own.
! Oh ho. Shiggy's quirk is evolving. I like it. Much more menacing.
-
! Saw a theory somewhere that Shiggy was able to dissolve all those people because he was mentally viewing them as just a single entity. Having his Quirk tied to his mental state like that would be pretty cool.
! …Or it could just end up being a regular powerup. IDK. -
! I like the single entity part. It's always bothered me the "limit of stuff", like what determines when something ends and something else starts, were he to rot furniture, then only the plank that he's touching should rot, or when he destroyed the binoculars, the lenses and a ton of inner parts should be ok, but it was all "one thing" for him. If these people were touching eachother then I don't see it as weird at all for them to be decaying.
! But then again, they are touching the ground and the earth is still fine. For now. -
! So Shigaraki´s decay can advance to things that are in contact with the one he is touching currently, but he needs to consider them a single thing in his mind? That´s a good twist, his quirk can be controlled, but it´s more about his state of mind than phisical training. The training with Giganto may have made his quirk stronger and faster, but in order to fully control it he will need another kind of training all together.
! The power-up is also not that powerfull, because as soon as the first person crumbles the decay on the rest should stop, then again Shigaraki is fast as hell and can simply advance throught like he did this chapter, but at least this depends of his phisical skills.
! The spread was great too, it seems that Spinner is coming to respect Shigaraki now, at least his resolve. And talking about resolves, seeing how ready to die some of LA soldiers are, I am wondering if there is someone with a moral boost quirk, maybe the politician, otherwise they are really good at brainwashing people from all ages (in the mob Shigaraki destroyed there were some teenagers too) -
! Shigaraki's quirk basically became Purple Haze.

Emma does look fabulous, doesn't she? Of course Luffy looks pretty cool too.
-
! I might be biased because of my new found appreciation for Shigaraki Tomura, but I really liked that "numb" part.
! That said, regardless how cool the rotting wave was, I seriously hope we are not talking about another case of quirk awakening in the mid of action. It would be the third case in like 10 chapters or so and that would be really worrisome. -
! This power-up is easier to swallow than Toga's at least lol
! Wonder if the ice guy will actually serve as a counter to Dabi, or get taken out Pokemon style -
! I figure it's fine that the characters are all kinda developing at a similar pace since they seem to be doing the parallels opposite coins stuff throughout this series anyways. And with Deku starting to unlock new powers Shiggy needed a bump. I'm just waiting for more hero course kids to up their quirks as well.
-
! The problem is that it was already established quirks should not develop magically, but be trained just like any other physical ability. Having one or two characters going the "special way" is something we can pass as them being… well, special cases. But, you know, third time is a pattern, and when all three happen in such a short interval it becomes dangerously close to hinting a new trend.
! Let's hope Horikoshi can reign it back before it gets out of control (and, again, it's assuming that's what happened with Shigaraki Tomura. It could also just be Spin was unaware of this ability).
! Btw, I don't know if this was the first time or just the first time I can remember, but this week MHA was on the bottom half of JUMP. It has been weirdly low on the past weeks, but not like this. Knowing Horikoshi and his "getting cancelled trauma", I hope his editor can keep calm enough so he will not start making bad desperate decisions to get back on top. -
! It is all but confirmed that All For One implanted ragdoll's quirk in Shiggy, if not him, then the good doctor or a random high end nomu. That's a clear path of evolution for shiggy.
! There were a lot of questioning on why Toga didn't copy quirks from the begining, and we still don't know if she unlocked it for everyone, or it's just Urakara because she had a similar mindframe to her in that moment, or actually knows how to use her quirk. Imagine she coppied Ojiro, would be stupid if she didn't come with a tail.
! And Deku, yes it muddles the core message of the series, but it was also weird that a quirk that was born by being transfered, didn't also keep on transfering quirks. -
! Hmm. I would say that only Deku's would count as a special way. Since LoV was actively fighting for a few weeks pretty much 24/7. Evolving being pushed a bit further by stress seemed a little more natural than Deku having partially interactive dreams. Even then it wasn't too outside the scope I don't think. But then again. I'm also the sort of person that likes seeming enhanced versions of powers.

! I don't get how the training excuse really works for Toga, she has no real reason to use her quirk against Giganto, especially when she has a finite source of blood to work with.
! Hell, you could prolly apply that to Shiggy too, as his quirk doesn't seem suitable to use against the big guy without permanently maiming him. I'm actually really curious at what his 24/7 fighting looked like in particular. -
! Man o man o man, what a chapter. That whole part with Shiggy, from the flashback to his quirk, was great. Okay, that's three members of his family we've seen with dark hair. Decay just might be a mutant quirk like Eri's. And, that implication that he wanted to be a hero, ouch. Makes sense Nana's son wouldn't like that seeing as his own dad was killed and Nana put him up for adoption because of her hero life.
! And, they just now noticed Toga's gone. Damn. And another interesting point for the MLA having citizens defending their own neighborhoods from criminals. Sure, that works on paper but it's not just having a quirk, it's how you use it. That the point of UA. So, yeah, citizens policing themselves can work, but only if everyone goes through the same training as hero students.
! Really thought Mr. Compress was getting his 1v1 before Dabi. Anyway, it should be a good fight. Not sure how Dabi's gonna power up. Doubt he's going full Human Torch.Can Spinner stop being so useless?
His quirk will save the day. I mean, sure, I thought the same thing about Ojiro but…

Damn it, Japan! Why you hate the League? I'm loving this arc. This is why so many shonen main characters get all the focus leaving none for anyone else. World building. Character development. These things matter. Does Oda get this too? Anyone know if the Revive arc dropped One Piece down in the polls?

I'm actually really curious at what his 24/7 fighting looked like in particular.! Quirks are linked to a person's mental and physical state. Eri's quirk going out of control was because she didn't understand it. Not to mention her fear and trauma. Both Shiggy and Toga were mentally pushed to their limits before unlocking their quirks. Add that with training their bodies to handle the power up (Giganomachia) and voila!
! Of course, if that's really the pattern then we'll see Dabi pushed to his mental limits too. That should be fun. -

Supposedly, the rankings reflect the chapters from 8 weeks before (I don't know if it still holds, it seems stupid to think at this day and age it takes 2 months for them to collect the readers votes), so the current ranking should reflect the final chapters of the AxB arc.

-A courteous first post spoiler tag-
! The Captain Celebrity death flags just won't stop. Every time I go back and forth on whether he's surviving for not. If he used the very last of his strength to protect Koichi then he's a goner. BUT, this is the perfect chance for Koichi to unlock the flying aspect of his quirk, so I'm betting on that saving the day. UNLESS it doesn't matter and C.C. dies anyway due to injuries. Koichi failing to save someone would be an insane ending to the arc and change Koichi forever. It would also make Koichi personally invested in taking down the Villain Factory. All the respect if the series does it.

Fact I like this mini arc aside…
! Really dislike how this whole confrontation is handled. Maybe I'm just asking too much, but so far it seems like LOV don't have much of a battle plan or use any tactics. Or if they are, Horikoshi isn't doing a good job showing it. There's just six of em against who knows how many Liberation Army members and so far they've been running around and fighting sporadically.
! And this is coming right after the arc where we saw our heroes planning and performing various tactics. Just think it's a missed opportunity.
! Of course, there might be more to this than "buy time randomly until Giga wakes up and comes", but it doesn't change the fact the fight so far has been sloppy.
! These guys are a team after all, so don't think it would be too much to have them show off combo moves and some more creative stalling tactics. -

Well…

Yeah, at this point there's only two people who can save the Sky Egg: Captain Celebrity or All Might. And, All Might can't fly. So, that's it then. I'm betting everything on C.C. sacrificing himself to save the Sky Egg. Next chapter is gonna be rough.
Btw, I love the reversal of All Might and Deku's relationship compared to C.C. and The Crawler. Deku respects All Might and learns from him, but Koichi (Mr. Gentle Man himself) hated C.C. at first and C.C. is learning/being inspired by Koichi. I doubt it'll happen but if Koichi starts wearing a C.C. hoodie… Nah, that's never happen. But, if he did…
And do go saying…
! That best girl Toga is a gonner.

Will the League have any casualties in this arc/encounter? So far they have experienced powerups through the conflict.
-
Considering how they lost Magne, the high end, all for one, the dealers fingers, and compress hand, I'd be ok with a league victory.
What I don't see is how the thematically win of filthy anarchists will prevail over the insane individualist. I'm guessing will be just "might makes right" like all might's justice.
-
! I don't think we're seeing the MLA at its best and Redestro knows it. He stills needs battle data and I'm thinking he's purposely saving his big brawlers for a later arc when they're fully equip and ready to rumble.
! I'm liking what I've heard elsewhere about the LoV's rep going up for destroying an "innocent" town. Might even help Redestro's cause by scaring people in wanting to use their quirks in public to defend themselves. A win-win for both. Would go far in making Redestro a bigger threat knowing he created this no lose plan from the start. -
New chapter. Can we just follow the League forever?
https://jaiminisbox.com/reader/read/my-hero-academia/en/0/228/page/1! Cyrokinesis, bravo Hori. You have my full attention. The art is on point again. Good on the MLA for stepping their game up, using Twice's mental breakdown against him and wanting to use him as a emergency backup. I'm hoping the MLA also hasn't forgotten about Overhaul's research. And, we'll finally see what happens when you take away Twice's mask. I'm guessing since he's always taking about splitting, he'll copy himself and that "Evil" Twice in his head is gonna go nuts on those goons.
! Toga's situation has me interested. Worst case scenario is Twice making a permanent Toga clone if she dies. Curious. Skeptic. I'm liking these codenames. -
-
Having different colored speech bubbles for when Twice is disagreeing with himself. A small detail that will help his scenes so much (although I could see why Horikoshi wouldn't do it before, it kinda hints at two disagreeing personalities instead of just a completely unstable one).
-
! Damn, and here I thought that Toga was in the clear now (albeit exhausted beyond her limits).
Nice to see that Horikoshi's taking her damage seriously and showing us that she's genuinely close to death.
Here's hoping that she pulls through, it would be a shame to lose such a fun character.
There's also the fact that she needs to eventually face off against Ochako or Deku (or both).
! Also, seeing Twice's distress over Toga's condition really activated my shipping goggles. -
that ship was always one-sided and it's shit.
Also creepy.

Don't we do spoiler tags anymore?
-
We started using spoiler tags here when the "official release" stuff started going with One Piece. There wasn't any rule set for that, but everyone just kinda assumed the official release date would be taken into account for the other JUMP titles as well.
In the end we ended up just doing it for MHA and kept discussing every other JUMP manga freely once the scanlation is out so it doesn't really make much sense (also, it makes this thread basically be spoiler tagged in its entirety).
