All hail the Baron of Explodo-Kill.
Also really? Tokoyami got dropped and Jirou passes Oochako and Asui? Booo!
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

And here's AP's voting results for comparision
!
!
Really surprised that Bakugo beat Deku. Not that I'll complain.
Though most surprising must be Tokoyami and Jirou.
-
A bit disappointed that Deku didn't get 1st but its Bakugou so… less complaints.
I'm more surprised about Jirou beating Tsuyu and Uraraka.
-
Was there even a subtly reference to Pikachu in this manga?
-
How is Kyouka the most voted girl? I like her but it makes zero sense.
As for Tsuyu dropping from 7th to 9th is either because of Aoi Yuki or the chapter where she cried and japs didnt like it.
Ochako has been handled well but I think the japs dont like her personality of being "goody goody".
Momo gets the most amount of screentime among the female characters yet she dropped to 13th…....
Kirishima being above AlMight is the biggest offender.

Can you please not shorten the word Japanese like that?
I'm surprised about some of the ranking except for Bakugou. Seems about right to me lol. I'm more surprised about Iida and Kirishima's position. Iida hasn't done anything of not in a while so I'm surprised he's top 10 worthy. Kirishika is cool but I don't see why he's up so high. His Bakugou association maybe?
-
Can I say nip instead? lol.
Bakugou being first is probably because he has started being likeable around the time AlMight humbled him.
Iida was part of the Bakugou rescue team along with Deku, Todoroki,Kirishima and Momo.
Kirishima deserved being in the Top 10, because his relationship with Bakugou has been well written, but not above AlMight.
Kanmari decreasing despite his shining moment in the last arc was also a bit shocking.
-
Bakugou both got the top spot on the poll AND beat Deku? This certainly makes for a delightful early Christmas surprise.
-
Yep. Let's talk about the poll instead of the actual chapter.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Kanmari decreasing despite his shining moment in the last arc was also a bit shocking.
-
I just hope that after that Bakugou become less aggressive towards Deku.
And All Might had the answer all along you must strive to win just as much as to protect, this way neither is completely wrong in their ideologies. -
The chapter was kinda meh for me, i guess because i really don't care about bakugou.
-
If I read the chapter right, Deku's thought bubble saying "5%" hints that he held back with his punch towards Bakugou. If he stayed in 8%, do you think he may have just narrowly won the match with that small strength upgrade?

He could, but he held back probably because of the health of his arms.
-

Absolutely not LOL
Both "jap" and "nip" are slurs. Use them again, treat the issue flippantly again, or try to clap back for being scolded, and you're out of the thread.
The first place is either a case of weird nip taste or they been reading the character the right way.
See above.
It's 2016 for fuck's sake. Try not using racist pejoratives, people.
-

Ah, that's a good point.

Waldorf: You know Statler, after watching the last one thousand episodes of One Piece, I think I've come to a conclusion.
Statler: No you haven't.
Both: DOHOHOHOHOHO!
-
For once the Japanese readers have good taste, the popularity poll gets a thumbs up from me
-
What an ending that was. Great character growth for Bakugou especially. Hopefully he'll start calming down just a tad.
-
Good to see Mineta rather low in the poll, a message that people aren't particularly fond of his antics perhaps? Nice chapter overall as well, wishful thinking but I just want Midorya and Bakugou to be pals and be the best hero duo ever.
Also, what's with the random casual racism? Nips and japs, fucks sake.

By the way, I'm so happy for Midoriya's shoe. So charismatic.
-
Shit, I knew I should have voted Megaman.
Nice resolution to this whole thing. I was actually hoping that Bakugou would win, since I think that outcome carries more meaning. Bakugou knows now that what makes Midoriya strong isn't necessarily his strength. I enjoyed All Might's additions to that as well, since this turns into a motivator for both Bakugou and Deku to improve, as heroes and characters.
While I agree that some of the action shots were a little janky (with stuff people said from the last couple chapters), writing-wise this was a pretty satisfying rival fight. I'll be happy to move on from it, though, and get to some new story beats, haha. Can't wait to see how Horikoshi continues those character arcs, too, outside of that direct conflict. Maybe Bakugou will ask Deku for help on retaking the provisional license exam, haha. Well, I doubt that specifically will happen, but I'm expecting him to suck up his pride a little, and start making up for what he lacks.
-
MINETA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo… I guess Mineta my boy needs some extra extra screen time to recover, yes.
Also not happy with how much Ochako fell, she is one the very few cases I find the "main girl" truly charismatic.
I like how MHA make me like characters filling all the common roles I usually hate: the main character, the main girl, the main character shoes (wait), the pervert kid, the godly role model, the old mentor who taught the godly role model, the serious teacher, even the angst rival is finally starting to grow on me. I wish everyone could get in the TOP10.

He needs to stop being a Mineta, that is what.
-
Popularity poll was the best part of this chapter. Bakugou is rightfully top dog and JIROU REIGNS AS BEST GIRL, MOFOS!
As for the actual chapter, it felt a bit short and not super satisfying. Bakugou's exploding groundpound was awesome but beyond that it didn't feel all that exceptional. Not bad by any means, but not great.

Im not racist, but I find baffling someone who had decent amount of development in Momo cant crack the Top 10, yet Kyouka who has done barely anything other than showing her NEET shirt is ranked Number 7.
-
Yet you resorted to using a racist slur (over differing opinions on a children's comic), and lol'd about using another one when Cyclone Baroness kindly asked you to stop, which was disrespectful towards her.
The only possible defense is ignorance of what constitutes a slur, which is why all you got was a warning. Now you know.
Keep complaining and you're out. -
U are clearly misunderstanding what I said, and I was only asking her if using that other slur was allowed or not, not need to overcomplicate and analyze it my statement like u are Deku lol.
I had no idea using slurs here were prohibited, so I wont use them again, it was my bad? Ok? Lets bury the hatchet and move on.
I hope we get to see the rankings of the rest of the kids and the league of villains in the next chapter, I was glad Himiko made it in the Top 20.

Why is everyone obsessed with the rankings? Who cares what character other people like.
Getting back on track. Going from 5% to 8% or 8% to 5% is a huge difference. That is over a 50% increase or decrease. I'd say Deku decreasing his punch from 8 to 5 was pretty enormous and kind of reinforces what we learned from the chapter.
Bakugo's mindset has always been "Win at all costs" whereas Deku doesn't think like that and doesn't want to seriously injure someone he considers a friend. The point of this chapter is All Might recognizing that they both need to embrace each other's philosophies as well. Bakugo can't recognize Deku because he doesn't win, and Deku didn't want to win if it meant injuring his friend. If Deku wants to save people he has to win at all costs, even if it means annihilating the villian because the villian won't have a problem killing everyone. Bakugo has to control his power and put more thought into using it safely if he is fighting around people he needs to save and doesn't want to injure.
I'll admit I have never liked Bakugo because of his terrible attitude and the fact that he treats everyone like crap, but this chapter has helped me understand him better and I think he will take a slightly better approach to things in the future as well.

Are you genuinely trying to get banned? Just quit it, stop answering back, stop claiming you're 'misunderstood', and ffs use your brain! No racist slurs are allowed in any civil place, let alone racial slurs against the JAPANESE of all people on a bloody MANGA forum! 'Japs', 'Nips', and any other racial slur you can come up with (slope maybe? James May comes to mind…) is obviously offensive (you might as well be using the N-word), so stop your yabbering.
-
Why yes, insults and smug arguing after being given ample warning is absolutely a good way to make your unfathomable point and not get the thread ban you were promised.
Take note!(Sorry Afro, he's already gone, but your sentiment does not go unappreciated)
-
I hadn't seen the other slur before. Honestly I thought it was a typo. Plus I had to get to work and couldn't address it. But in general usually shortening of proper nouns isn't good.
But yes let's move on.I need to resort my rankings for my sig.
I like how the fight ended. There wasn't a slew of awesome panels but I think if I read this encounter in a chunk vs. Weekly I'd enjoy it more.
Mineta deserves to be bottom wrung. Such a terrible character.
-
That was a nice chapter. Good to see both Bakugo and Deku finally move on to the next step, instead of dragging it out the entire manga.
-
Bakugou #1? Not in my book. Surprised Tokoyami dropped and Jirou is best girl. I think its her rocker image, I personality love that about her. Aizawa #4, I approve but I think the anime had something to do with it.
Toga debuts at number 19, respectable. And Shigaraki goes up too but I care more about that awesome coat he's wearing. Love it! Did Pikachu get the vote or was it his ketchup? More votes for inanimate objects, woo! Wonder where All For One ranked. The guy has to be in the top 20.
The chapter was okay. Bakugou winning does make things interesting and while I don't think they'll be buddies I hope at least Bakugou will lay off Deku and the two can talk to each like human beings. Or the teenager equivalent.

Everyone's gotta love a series' yandere. And I noticed Shigaraki's coat as well! I would love to see a full-body panel of him with it, especially if he's sitting on or next to his throne.

Was wondering why Horikoshi only showed Shigaraki's back in the panel. Actually, I always thought his clothes were plain for being a major antagonist. I'm thinking he updated his outfit too. Maybe a suit like AFO. Or, at least keep his regular clothes but battle in something different.

Same in regards to the plainness comment. A suit like All for One would be sick. But I don't think it suits somebody that looks as messy and unhinged as Shigaraki. Honestly, just the trench coat alone is good enough for me. Gives him a vibe as if he's a creepy guy you see approaching behind you with his hand gradually stretching outward in a dark alley.

Mineta needs more screen time so he can climb back up those rankings!! I may move to Japan to help facilitate this! Who is with me??@?@?!!

I am.You know, I just thought of something. Now that Tsuyu's dormed in with the school, who takes care of her siblings at home? Her side-story showed that she had to take care of them a lot to the point of having to cook and clean for them throughout the day since her parents are always on business trips. I would really like to see how her family convened and had to deal with the whole situation. At least moreso than Jirou's parents getting panel time that didn't go anywhere.

For a specific demographic of Japanese, by other Japanese- yes. 草食男子 = vegetarian boy (literally), used as a pejorative for a man who's meek/passive/sexless. Some attribute the declining birth rate to the prevalence of soushoku danshi, among other factors.
Not sure how prevalent the phenomenon is, or why, but the insult seens like a facet of toxic masculinity, honestly. "If you don't conform to the image of a virile man out to hunt down a woman, there's obviously something wrong with you" mentality.

I didn't know that. I guess is kinda interesting…
In China, they blame the "leftover women" for the declining birthrate and other stuff...:getlost:Generally, people these days aren't that interested in having children. Neither me and my siblings want children. The cost of raising a child is staggering. Taking care of yourself is already a challenge...

And so it begins the era of tsundere Bakugou heh did not expect that.
And so, was mind-control guy the supposed sucessor to All Might before Deku or silhouette is just similar to his? -
I interpreted it as a flashback panel of young All Might
