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...
I'm gonna say it… Where the hell is Captain Celebrity?!
Okay, Okay. It's my fault for assuming he's the current US number one, and maybe his scandalous reputation keeps him out the top spot. But, the guy's gotta be in the top 5. Top 10 at least. That being said, I'm looking forward to learning more about Star And Stripe. And thinking about it, we don't know exactly how long All Might lived in America. There time for him to have had a sidekick or U.S. partner.
YES! Come to me, heroine who is not Wonder Woman but totally is!
When did the series turn into HunterxHunter?
Dunno, three days until ultimate Shiggy completion feel too sudden, it may be a trap. Stain keeps being cool however, seeing him jumping onto the raging sea was neat.
Regardind the new character, I will have to wait to give an opinion, but so far I am not really fond of the whole flag-like scheme, the huge-ass cape is cool though.
Stain continues to prove being one of the most enjoyable characters in the series. Love that guy.
While I look forward to our new hero - and the prospect of seeing more international heroes - there's a part of me that wish we'd just keep ourselves to the established cast. Horikoshi hasn't been the best at utilizing his cast effectively and with this being the final arc I'd much rather see the teachers and classmates. But who knows, maybe she'll be a smash hit, so no judging yet. And I gotta give a thumbs up for the quality female heroes we've been getting.
When I look at that final page, this plays in my head.
Vigilantes talk
! So Six is normal child from one of Ujiko's orphanages that can form a sense of self. And I guess we discovered what Toga found, a shitload of explosives. Mr. Oguro came an went to soon.
Wow! I totally overthought the last chapter. Glad we finally got a backstory on No. 6. Really surprised he was once human. It's scary to think what Ujiko can do to a living body.
As for Knuckleduster dying… I don't think he will. I think Koichi will show up, investigating where the gun shot came from. But, I don't see No. 6 fighting Koichi again. So either No. 6 is blown to bits or AFO calls the mission a failure and warps him out only to kill No. 6 himself.

Oh! I forgot Ujiko owned orphanages! Guess that explains where he got him.
Spinner is so hot right now.

a tool shiragaki thats what you are
I forgot to say this last week, but a little more foreshadowing for the USA top heroine would have been nice, then again since her first battle is against the final boss this may well be her "only" fight… Hopefully not, it would be a little lame to show up from nowhere and losing inmediantly.
Still, I liked the everything else, Spinner weirdly enough is a character I care about. Also, Tomura´s question at the end is weird, if he is truly on control again it makes me wonder why he is following AFO´s orders at all.
I really hope this is not Star and Stripe's only battle, she is way too cool to be a one-shot.
Well considering stealing One For All was his midgame and stealing Star and Stripe's quirk was the end of the game if he managed it, I don't think Star is going to lose. The way All For One describes her it seems her quirk just overpowers, or at least out-maneuvers (Mirio-esque) everything. I'd lean towards overpowering given her connection to All Might and her appearance. I'm guessing Shigaraki's destruction quirk won't work against her and if they fight in the air then he also can't destroy the ground to upset her footing.
Nagant's backstory as a Hero Comission hitman from vol. 32 extras:
[hide]
[h=2]THE Lady Nagant[/h]Since I feel like Lady Nagant’s past will take up a whole volume by itself if I drew it in its entirety, I’ve cut it short by a lot.
The reason why Nagant didn’t get erased and instead got imprisoned was because of the Chairwoman’s (the middle-aged lady character’s) decision.
The previous chairman had always treated people as disposable assets even before Nagant came into the picture. At first, all he used were people from the underside of society, but the heroes committing crime increased and became organized. The techniques they use were only becoming cleverer, and their crimes swelled up to the point that the HSPC weren’t able to deal with them with only people from the underside of society.
And so, they turned to using people from public–heroes–so that they can freely move when going against other heroes. The Chairwoman, who disagreed with the Previous Chairman’s methods, ordered for Nagant to be imprisoned in Tartarus where there is no fear of information leaks. This way, she was able to prevent Nagant from getting executed and use her as an example to discourage disputes between heroes.
So, in order to prevent failures as with Lady Nagant’s incident from happening again, she zeroed in on Takami Keigo as her [[I]Nagant’s] successor, intending to educate, train him from an even younger age [[I]than Nagant] and have him fulfil his duty his whole life.
If I manage to safely finish serialization, I wanna draw a short titled “The Beautiful Lady Nagant ~The Brightest Star in the Cage~”. But I probably won’t. Why, you ask? Because I’m sleepy!
[h=2]The Chairwoman[/h]She first appeared in volume 20. She got done in by Re-Destro’s copy in volume 31.

More Spinner. Nice. I can understand why some heteromophs are following Spinner given hero society pre-Liberation War wasn't all that great for some (or most?) of them. Why go back to that when Spinner propaganda promises a better world?
I'm just waiting for the heroes, especially heteromorph heroes, to address the issue.

Horikoshi? You do know your audience loves world building chapters, right? It's like he's forcing himself to stay on the fighty-fight shonen road (while delegating world building to My Hero Vigilantes, School Briefs, etc.) instead of exploring more of that world.
Also, confirmation the Chairwoman's dead. Wow!

No surprise on Hilary, Hawks even went "the bitch is dead" when he was out of hospital.
World Building? No can do. Gotta keep flashy fight after flashy fight or the audience will lose interest, can't be axed again I CAN'T, and more power ups and Deku gotta be the center of everything or else they might forget who is him.
I hope that Star and Stripes will have ability like Kizaru from One Piece - with control over shape of her body, being made out of element of sorts and giving her insane speed. Like Plasma quirk or something along those lines.
All in all surprisingly I am really hyped for fight of new character that currently seems to be strongest hero in My Hero Academia World and Shigaraki who most likely is most powerful Villain in this world. Cool stuff.
I expect her to do amazingly good against Shigaraki and this fight ending up with a draw. She also seems to have same arm protectors that All Might given Deku, so she very likely is a brawler of sorts.

Her quirk reminds me a lot of "You are an ant now" guy from Bleach.
It's amazing what a mutation of the gene responsible for your little toe can do.
It's no wonder AFO wants this quirk, and why the heroes would consider him the victor if he got it.
Shit's pretty damn broken.
Can we go back to the students and teachers recuperating?
Anybody else notice that when she uses her quirk there are stripes in the word bubbles? Classic.
Obviously Star's quirk is strong but she only ever uses half of it on other things. She always keeps the 2nd charge on herself and I would assume changes it depending on the situation, like giving herself super strength. I will admit it is a bit of a stretch though that she can use her quirk after touching the laser because she still requires the time to speak the rule. In the time it takes to speak that laser should be penetrating through her hand. I'd say the trick to beating her is acting faster than she can speak or stopping her from speaking. Of course, she could already have made a rule on herself that counters these 2 obvious weaknesses.
Also, the Star Wars references were pretty funny.
The handling of this new power is hilarious.
Cool chapter, hoping that Star doesn´t lose her quirk though, Tomura is already really damn strong as he is and she hasn´t been around that much to show it off.
Also, her power working on the air itself is kind of weird, does isn´t work if she uses the wrong term? Then again with these kind of powers is better to not think too deeply about them, it´s magic and that´s it.
No wonder Star looks so much like All Might. She pretty much turned herself into him. I hope she didn't lose her quirk but it's not looking good. At this rate, the final fight between Deku and Shiggy will destroy half the country no matter who wins.
When you expect there will be less HxH after last chapter, but Hori ramps it up instead!
The means of escape from her ability is very cheesy. "I'm not actually the person who you called out, even though when you spoke the name you clearly meant me, who you even touched."
It's not quite Kubo's "Did you think Espada go from 1 to 10? It's actually 0 to 9, lol." but it's close.

Lol. Yeah that's kind of a weird loophole. So anyone that changed their name can dodge it? 
I'm guessing it's more "we are two people in one!" rather than just a different name.
Honestly how much more power up does he need, without this quirk he is basically unstoppable, to introduce a new hero and then trying to have her lose her quirk just add unnecessary drama. The villain is already OP
The villain is a greedy fucker, that's why.
I'm guessing it's more "we are two people in one!" rather than just a different name.
Yeah but she touched the motherfucker. That means the ability doesn't affect what was meant by the user, but what was vocalized.
And then that means the ability has something like an AI (for example) in it that gets confused when both parameters, as in, touching the object and uttering its name, don't quite compute so it just renders the whole move invalid. And how does the said AI even know Shigi is actually 2 persons? It's just silly when you try to deconstruct it.
It's like the ability is one of the worst type of commenters online, the hair splitting corrector, lol.

I imagine its like if she touched a cat while believing its a dog or touching lemon juice and thinking its water. If she's wrong about what she think she's touching then it doesnt work.

But who decides whether she's right or wrong? Some supreme planetary collective consciousness?
For her ability to even work like that, it would have to be connected to something like a gigantic database with a supreme AI capable of making split second decisions in multiple different environments all across the world.
you would think with all her experience as a top superhero she would have actually faced agents or fake names before but guess that's somehow a first despite the fact that everyone literally uses villain names instead of real names.
Ohh can you imagine a king crimson type of battle for the end game instead of naruto jutsu bombs or dragon ball z clashes i'll be totally down for that even if this series logic completely spiral downwards

Maybe it's based more on her perception vs the targets perception (if they're sentient).
So when facing a sentient being it becomes a calculation.
Star faces a rubber pirate. She perceives him to be Monkey D. Luffy. He perceives himself to be Monkey D. Luffy. When they touch there's a mental match and her abilities activate.
If the rubber pirate is a fake however, say someone like Demaro Black, then there's no match and it fails.
It opens up for some cool downsides of an otherwise powerful ability. For example what if she meets someone who's been brainwashed to think they're someone else?
As for non-sentient beings, it could again be something like "Does my perception of what I'm touching match it's actual structure?". In that case she might be like Momo where she has to learn the composition of everything around her.
But the simpler answer is probably just that everything has an innate name and her quirk allows her to connect to that.
But who decides whether she's right or wrong? Some supreme planetary collective consciousness?
Wathever she touched isnt what she pictured. I imagine if you mention water you are thinking about something with the properties of water and trying to affect that. If the properties she imagine/associate with was she is trying to affect doesnt match the reality of what she touch it fails.

But who is watching it and deciding whether what she touched corresponds to what she pictured or not? Water is a simple enough example, but here we have a person that is Shigaraki, but also isn't quite Shigaraki, and in order for all this to make sense, there would have to exist a collective world consciousness that decides how Star's ability will behave at any given moment.
Of course, I may be jumping to conclusions, depending on what actually happens next, but I think the best thing that could happen to this manga is that Star dies and takes the ability with her.
While possibly throwing a wrench in AFO's plans by giving Shigi some kind of a lasting handicap.
I agree with Razh. From a meta perspective the quirk obviously needs some kind of restriction to it. But in-universe, for the type of ability it is, which is literally reality warping, it's pretty silly that it has those kind of rules/limitations to begin with.
I mean makes sense to me you have to know what properties you want to change. Otherwise why is the naming or touching even a thing.
It's true that it is dumb. An insane person could delude themselves into thinking that they are All Might but would that circumvent the ability? I mean the person really believes it so i guess naming them by their real name would not work.
As stated so far the quirk has two rules: 1) you can only have two active rules; 2) you must touch something and named it to apply a rule to it.
But what exactly - in itself - avoids the loop: I touch myself stating my name a add a new rule upon me: I can create an infinity number of rules following the constrictions of the quirk.
Would that work? Would it count as one slot?
New Vigilantes out
! I love this cast.
Great chapter indeed.
Very happy it was both Soga and Koichi saving Knuckleduster. And Mr. Offense VS Mr. Defense comes to a fitting conclusion with No. 6 blowing himself up, but I doubt he's dead. And that explosion was bound to catch the heroes attention. AFO will have to get Kurogiri to warp No. 6 away.
typical american hero
! Nuking away its problems.
I really like her quirk though.
Its incredibly unique.
But lol yeah, giant ethereal lady being more ineffective than nukes is absolutely hilarious
