      @Brotato:

      The "invisible" person in the back is Todoroki, was just a result of text placement and scanlation cleaning.

      There was some kid in Class B that could.. retract their head(?) or something… that we saw in the panels showing obstacle course rankings. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      It wasn't just retracting his head. That guy's head is a speech bubble, which is all sorts of weird.

        Quickly going through my most viewed pages on this manga here: http://bato.to/reader#a0e9ac50a85d57e2_19

        I notice that there are 42 students, and we know that class A has 20 students, and that Gizmo Girl and Killgrave Jr. aren't from class B. So it could be that everyone else is a class b student? Going through the recent chapters, the only ones that I'm not sure that we'd seen are the generic dudes from Mimic's horse (we at least saw one.. I think) the ponytail dude who teamed up with the gruff-beast looking one, and the speech bubble one.

          the spoiler says there's 40 students so class b has 20 as well.

            We see ponytail guy in chapter 73. He was training his scales quirk and concurrently training copycat's quirk by letting him copy it.
            Generic guy 1 with the black hair is seen in chapter 72, during some of the group shots. Black skin guy is there as well.

            ! Generic guy 2 is seen in chapter 75.
            The only one not seen yet (in my memory) is speech bubble head.

              Yeah, I remember looking for that person during the calvary battle and coming up empty. Someone more dedicated can probably narrow it down and possibly ID the culprit if they're meticulous about combing through the class B panels. I have to wonder if SpeechBubble-kun acquired their quirk because Horikoshi accidentally drew Hagakure twice and did a quick last minute fix to correct it. 😆

                Let's do a head count of everyone:

                ! We have 2 teachers, 4 pussycats and kouta, all acounted for.
                ! We have 10 villians (claimed to be here), 6 in the map, we know that the dude with the smoke mask should be around Honeku's station, nortwest of the scare area. Is the bondage arm eater a nomu?
                ! We have the 20 class A students, thanks to this we know their aproximate locations: http://bato.to/reader#619149055984e6d0_19
                The excersise should take 15 minutes for a team to go through it whole
                The teams were supposed to start 3 minutes apart
                We got to the 12 minute mark before the attack
                ! So team 1 should have found the bondage-arm eater or are about to join the pussycats fight.
                Team 2, shonen rivals acounted for.
                Team 3, where Earjack has a shirt that says "Dead" and invisible gir, the most likely candidate for traitor. I don't like where this is going..
                So, they should be somewhere between Team 5 and Honeku's station. Team 5 belives that they were already at Honeku's station, and they were who they just scared.
                Team 4 well, we know where momo is and what is she doing, but Aoyama mia around there, probably hidding with a mask. Or betraying them.
                Team 5 was just leaving
                The rest are at the start, and Deku at Kota's, and the 5 failed at home
                ! I think that team 4 and 3 locations are inverted.. Considering where Momo is right now, and if the ones who were scared were team 3.
                ! We have 20 class B students
                Mimic at home
                Bandana with Momo going to "the standby station"
                We know of two "scare stations" of 3 students each, Bandana Tetsutetsu and Thorny were one, considering that they meet up with momo, they are the first team.
                the second station with Honeku, Yui and Kendou
                Team Shonen Rivals have the Air Barrier dude with them, asuming that they weren't being assholes, then his station was just him?
                We know the location of 8 of them, so the other 12 should be divided between the standby station and other scare stations.
                I'll await translations to know a little more.

                  Speech bubble-kun appears in the cavalry battle. Chapter 29, when glue bottle interrupts the scuffle between Kacchan and Copycat. We see him as part of the horse with glue bottle and Yui as the rider.

                    Nice catch! I doubt I would've noticed that. Wasn't looking for a literal speech bubble head in all of the panels just assumed it was a one time thing but… damn, Speech Bubble-kun definitely lives up to their nickname. Wonder what their deal is. 😆

                      Considering how lame a quirk it seems, and how bad the hipotethical class b no 20 would have to be to lose to aoyama and speech bubble kun, and that it wasn't called to attention that he was an outsider as gizmo and suggestion, I'd guess that he or she must be the last class b student.

                        So with this recent talk of Class B students, I've drawn this little thing that shows everything we know about all of them as of Chapter 74:

                        !
                        I'll either update this or draw an entirely new one when we get substantially more information.

                          I was going to say that yui was phasing but it could have been honeku softening the ground.

                          Beast seem to be just a mutant body quirk, and going through the pages of the school tournament I saw bandana in the race with pom pom hands.

                            Mutant body seems likely, but I'd hold off on writing that down considering Kouda's body ended up not having anything to do with his Animal Speech quirk.
                            As for bandana with pom pom hands, if you're referring to that one panel in Chapter 25, I don't think that's the bandana guy of Class B. He seems different (too tall, hair isn't black, different face shape, different bandana pattern).

                              Nice little layout 🙂

                              Beast was lumped in visually with "power-up" types in ch72, so we know it's gonna be enhanced strength of some kind (possibly with a gimmick, like Sato's). Nondescript dark-haired boy could be power-up, too (he's in the same panel as Beast when they talk about power-up types), or they could just be friends and standing together 😛
                              And Awase is all but guaranteed to have something to do with water/ice/snow, based on his name (bubble-rapids tsu[as in tsunami]-snow).

                              Shoda Nirengeki's the real mystery, so far. Nirengeki is basically "double-hit/attack," but "Shoda" is as boring a name as Midoriya, kanji-wise.

                                Maybe he's like a human Wobbuffet or Reject Dial, dishing out twice the damage he receives?

                                  Ah, I should've said "two-hit" not "double," but the Wobuffet concept could still work, even so! First hit is him taking in damage, second hit is him doling it back out.

                                        The body creepy villain was eating was Ragdolls, imo.

                                          So for lizard guy, the answer seems to be laughing.

                                          Don't mind your old eye, muscle man. You look awesome with the new one. I look forward too looking you blown away.

                                          Substance? I wonder if it is BoomBoom's dad.

                                            Oh, MS version is out and as usual there are a few discrepancies.

                                            Haven't seen the raw but in the other versions it was made more apparent that the villains had a list of kids that were kill targets and were each assigned to a specific kid. Deku was on the kill list, but not muscle-fiber guys target… which was Bakugou. We can probably assume that all of the standout kids from the sports festival and USJ are on said list.

                                            Anywaaaaays - chapter highlights!

                                            • The ARM! I wonder who it belongs to? Hopefully not Tokoyami. Perhaps Shouji can create extra arms with his quirk and not just ears/mouths etc? Or maybe a class B kid has a lizard tail style quirk as someone else suggested. Also that Chatterer villain is creepy as fuck, probably has a quirk involving his teeth.

                                            • Magne's quirk seems pretty cool. Wonder what that smirk was implying when they were talking about being able to contact Ragdoll…

                                            • Mandalay using flirty ESP to mess with Spinner was hilarious

                                            • 100% OFA! Hopefully he just punched the villain through the freaking mountain. Curious how much damage Deku will do to himself from this though, really hope we're past the point of breaking a billion bones and being out of commission.

                                            @Bond:

                                            So with this recent talk of Class B students, I've drawn this little thing that shows everything we know about all of them as of Chapter 74:

                                            ! [qimg]http://i66.tinypic.com/330hd94.jpg[/qimg]
                                            I'll either update this or draw an entirely new one when we get substantially more information.

                                            Oooh~ nice work dude!

                                              Kacchan, the proper reaction is "Oh FUCK no!"

                                              Honestly, Tokoyami and Shouji are probably the students most capable of fighting without an arm. They'll be fine, probably.

                                                  I liked the fight itself, I just don't care enough about what's going on yet. As said, I get what Kouta's character and story is going for, I just don't care enough yet.

                                                      I actually think the mangaka is doing a great job at building up tension. When reading last week's chapter, I got this feeling this arc will be especially great if you read it all at once. It feels chaotic, but he is clearly in control.
                                                      The only weak spot is the Kouta subplot that kinda ruins everything. As soon as the focus changed to that bit in this chapter, I could almost see my interest leaving the room.

                                                        It´s understandable though.
                                                        He either knocks the guy out, or he´s dead. And he has no idea about what it will take to knock him.

                                                        Is that Bakugous dad?

                                                        The way it was phrased, makes it seem like he wants Bakugou because of orders, and not anything personal.
                                                        Maybe they think they can turn him into a villain.

                                                          Or because they want his quirk, Bakugous ego is too big to just turn evil. AFO more than likely just wants these kids quirks and Izuku dead because he's the successor for OFA

                                                            Hmmm.. But these batch of quirks aren't particularly great, are they? They go from surprisily effective like mineta to obviously Strong as bakugou and todoroki , to the incredibly versatile like momo. But this group without the black warp to keep them in line wouldn't be my choice for a kidnapping team.

They go from surprisily effective like mineta to obviously Strong as bakugou and todoroki , to the incredibly versatile like momo. But this group without the black warp to keep them in line wouldn't be my choice for a kidnapping team.

                                                                  Well I'm positive that nobody wants Seros quirk, but Momo, Uraraka, Shouto, Bakugou, Tokoyamis all have great unique quirks that I'm sure they're on this list of wanted students

                                                                    –- Update From New Post Merge ---

                                                                    Maybe they think they can turn him into a villain.

                                                                    Uhhhh no, you progressively use more and more. 5% didn't work? Do 20%. Still nothing? Let's try 40%. Will it do it perfectly? No, but at least he's trying. It's a step backwards in my opinion.

If he fails, he won´t be able to retreat on time and do a second punch. The villain might be underestimating him, but there´s no way he would allow him a second, third, forth, fifth shot.

                                                                      Second, he can´t control himself that well.

                                                                      His difficulty in controlling the power with Gran Torino (reference 1 and 2) show it, and with Stain he could only use a 5% punch, he knew more than that would blow his arm apart.

                                                                      Even assuming he has been trying and can increase his limit already, it probably doesn´t go above 8% for now.

                                                                              That's kinda the point there.

                                                                              He has to be sure the guy is at least defeated, even if he risks his life on it.

                                                                              Considering that he can only tolerate 5%, he might as well go full power. If 10% or 20% or whatever doesn't kill him first, Muscle Man will kill him anyway.

                                                                                Uhhhh no, you progressively use more and more. 5% didn't work? Do 20%. Still nothing? Let's try 40%. Will it do it perfectly? No, but at least he's trying. It's a step backwards in my opinion.

                                                                                Well he can't be sure at which point his arm get screwed. The input he can handle fine is 5%. If he tried 20% he might break his hand while doing minimal damage.

                                                                                I am also disturbed by it because in the manga Deku is well aware of how badly dangerous it is and even manage to contain himself in the first invasion thanks to that. So I'm more troubled by Deku taking such a stance than by the logic supporting it.

He's literally taking 5 steps back from the 2 steps forward in learning about his powers. "Well no options left, so I'll go back to hurting myself in order to save the day again."

                                                                                  I think the point is to leave extreme damage though right?

                                                                                  This guy has a quirk that is pretty much invincible. Rebuilding muscle tissue indicates that you need to punch so hard that you break bones or cause internal bleeding.

                                                                                  Plus it's a life-or-death struggle and a decision needs to be made in a few second span. He goes 20%, only breaks a couple of his own bones, but if the muscle guy is left standing then what? Hope a hero comes to save the day?

                                                                                    I am currently reading the My Hero Academia manga series and getting caught up. Right now I'm on Chapter 35 of this series (so I'm about halfway there give or take) and, excuse my language for a moment but… Holy Fuck this is one of the most fun and engaging manga series I've read in a LONG fucking time. I mean… Admittedly I was kind of destined to like this series given that I'm a big time fan of superheroes and comics in general… So to combine Western style comic books with Japanese Shonen manga style was pretty much just a recipe for win as far as I'm concerned but... Oh my God I love this series so much... When I'm up to date with this series I can very easily predict that this will be one of the highlights of my week along with One Piece. So far in these 35 chapters Horikoshi has done a really great job of establishing most if not all of the members of the class and given me at least some reason to care about most of them. I wouldn't say that any of them are as well fleshed out as anyone from One Piece or World Trigger yet (another highlight of my week) but the fact that Dekku is already one of the most likable Shonen protagonists I've seen in quite some time and that other characters like Bakugo, Uraraka, Iida, Todoroki, Asui, Yaoyorozou, Kirishima, Mineta, Kaminari, Tokoyami, Kyoka have all managed to establish themselves as at least reasonably interesting characters after only 35 chapters is just amazing to me.

                                                                                    It's just... Whenever I'm reading this series I always feel like I should be able to find things that are wrong with it and to be critical of it but... Ride now I'm just riding the high of this series and just having so much fun with how overjoyed I am to have what I believe to be the perfect "East meets West" comic, with this series being such a great way of taking the superhero stories I've loved so much and putting them in the form of the Shonen manga that I've also loved so much. I'm just so happy to have this manga because in a weird way I feel like I've been waiting for something like this all my life and now it's finally here. So once I'm up to date with this bad boy you can bet that I'm going to be popping in each week to talk about this series and I feel confident I'm going to have the same enthusiasm and love for this series that I've had before.

                                                                                    Oh... And the anime that's coming out? Can't wait for that either... And I should probably address the fact that before this series Horikoshi created Barrage for Shueisha... I actually read every chapter of that series which wasn't hard because there were... Only 15 of them... :sad: I was actually kind of heartbroken that that series somehow didn't catch on while crap like Bleach and Fairy Tail can put out hundreds and hundreds of chapters and I wondered if there was any justice in the world? Well... Maybe there was... I mean the craptastic series are still putting out loads of chapters but... At least Horikoshi got his second chance (or third apparently he also did Omagodoki Dobutsuen apparently which I didn't read but also heard good things about) and apparently Japan finally realized how brilliant he was... So maybe there is some justice in the world of manga after all? Now all we need is to get Bleach cancelled and all will be right with the world. Please let 2016 be the year... Please if there is a God...

                                                                                    But My Hero Academia is great and I look forward to a 2016 with that, One Piece and World Trigger to keep me company and wash the taste of Bleach away. I actually think Shonen Jump is the best it's been in a while due to those three series and others. Looking forward to 2016 with all of them.

                                                                                    My Hero Academia is my favorite manga series right now. At least so long as the high of its greatness remains. United States of Smash.

The villain is more experienced, stronger and faster, and the surroundings don´t give him any strategic options (he´s literally on the edge of a cliff). He has to do this.

We know they're both water based, but I'm curious if they worked differently from each other. Maybe one could create water and the other manipulate it, something like that.

                                                                                                  If All Might tried hard enough, it'd seem impossible for the both of them to pass.

                                                                                                      So, I've been rereading the series, did all might let deku and kachan pass? The final punch from deku didn't seem anything stronger than he was doing before.

                                                                                                      Well Deku never tried to punch him before and he wasn't hurt. Just momentarily surprised. I rather consider that All might tried as much he could without doing permanent damage. That's the kind of teacher I imagine him to be and it doesn't take anything from him since in a real situation it would have been done pretty fast.

                                                                                                        The whole point is that if you know 100% is going to leave extreme intense damage, then don't use it. He's literally taking 5 steps back from the 2 steps forward in learning about his powers. "Well no options left, so I'll go back to hurting myself in order to save the day again."

                                                                                                        I really dont think you understand whats going on, but before i make such an accusation, what would you have deku do?
                                                                                                        He can't use levels consciously between 5-100% so it boils down to 5 or 100.
                                                                                                        he's getting his ass handed to him quite easily (the opponents speed and strength)
                                                                                                        he cant run away easily as muscle fiber man would probably catch up
                                                                                                        his phone is broken so he cant call for help.
                                                                                                        5% power isn't working (both defense and offense are lacking severely)

                                                                                                        so again i ask, what would you have him do but a last minute 100% detroit smash to try and deal a severe blow?
