Holy shit I was actually on the right track with her quirk being perception-based and differing between sentient/non-sentient targets.
Really nice chapter, still wish we'd keep to the kids and teachers but at least Stripes is delivering some quality muscles.
I continue to love Hori's constant shoutouts to Star Wars.
Saw the new MHA movies. It's fine, but probably the weakest of the movies so far.
! The movie mainly focuses on Deku and the one-off movie character (even becoming kind of a road movie at one point) and the two kind of develop a serious bromance. Like, I wouldn't surprised if people wrote a good number of fanfics after this.
! Naturally, Bakugo and Todoroki get a decent amount of screen time and their own dedicated fights, but not much beyond that. The rest of Class A make appearances, but they don't really do anything. Just there for eye candy. I mean, I know Baku and Todo are the safe bet and these movies need to make money, but would it kill them to just take a chance on some of the less popular characters and give them some fights?
! The villains are okay. They're basically the Meta Liberation Army except with kind of the opposite philosophy (the even have a manifesto like the MLA). The main villain does have a cool design, but there isn't too much to his character. And it really felt like they were building up the arrow girl for a big fight, but then they just kill her off half way. Instead Baku and Todo just fight two random ass villains.
! One thing I'll say though is that this movie definitely feels fast. It's a pretty standard 1 hour 45 minutes runtime, but it feels more like a 45 minute TV special. So if you're not super into it, at least it'll go by quickly.
! So yeah, it's a nice enough time for MHA fans. But if you're not super interested, then I'd say you can safely skip it and just watch on DVD/streaming if you want.
So with whats happening with Shigaraki and with us being shown what happened to Nagant I assume there is no traitor in UA?
I mean perhaps one of characters was given quirk as a child by AFO and his counciousness just keeps second passęnger AFO that is mentally Linked to real AFO?
Does that make any sense?
World Heroes Mission may have been better than the entirety of season 5. Surprisingly fun movie; perhaps my favorite of the bunch.
Saw World Heroes Mission and man. That was not a fun time
! I think a lot of my issues are the same as Nobodyman's. As soon as I saw that 90% of the cast were gonna be basically cameos I just lost interest. Although I think if I liked Bakugo, Deku and Todoroki I'd have ate this one up like Ice Cream. But they're not and I was pretty annoyed that the movie poster promised the likes of FatGum and the Dragon Hero only to not even do anything with them. Considering the first movie focused on about 10 kids while the second movie focused on everyone, I was expecting this to be reigned in and focus on a select amount of characters. Especially when some of these sorely need some screentime.
! I was bored through a lot of the movie, especially the first hour or so which actually I felt dragged on. I went for the toilet what I thought was mid-way through the movie but still dragged on for a good half hour before starting to wrap things up. Although I did get to see the musical piece which IMO was the highlight of the movie.
! Arrow Girl was probably the highlight. Although I was kinda amused that Deku said she looked like a villain when she dressed pretty much like the heroes did. Reminds me of the whole Piccolo thing. I think I would have had more investment in the villains if they went more into the whole 'We don't have quirks' thing. I mean. They had scientists developing anti-quirk stuff. We know there's anti-quirk stuff in the manga. So why did all of the fights include people who have quirks?
! Also the Stealth Suit thing really felt like it was just there to sell merch. I was expecting there to be a whole big thing as to why they're using it and how they need this to take on the villains but nope. You get 10 minutes at the start and that's it.
Commander Agpar?
Really?
Ah yes introduce two long ass passages about a broken quirk and set up the stage for mind games…
Only to throw it all away to rely on brute force writing and Susannos
You can't get anymore 2000s shounen than this.
I'm not even worried about my prediction years ago regarding how the end game fights is going to turn out exactly like Naruto and Bleach with how things are going.
I like how the story itself admits that Stripes power is childish, like a little kid in a playground shouting his made-up superpowers. That said, I really don´t want Shiggy-Afo to get his hands on it, it´s too broken.
Also, although it was a little too long, the analysis about the quirk was interesting. The fact that either Tomura or Tenko mentioned Mon-chan was a little sad too.
I like her powers…But I'm not interested in her or Shiggy not Shiggy as characters. I'm still miffed we jumped to this instead of having down time with the school. There was a lot to cover in that.
I like Star keeping her distance after her quirk failed on Shiggy For One. Also like her giving Endeavor props. Still, I really wish the character was introduced sooner in the series even if was just by name.
Question to anyone who saw the 3rd movie: Are Star And Stripe and Captain Celebrity in the movie? If so, what did they do?

This fight has already lost me
Goddamn, this chapter was genius. Horikoshi is a genius. No, I swear I'm not being extra gay for the sake of self-deprecating humor. Okay, I am but only because I'm in a whimsical mood. Swear!
"Fist Bump to the Earth" is a genius name holy shit.
Very clunky chapter for meRandom hunter hunter style exposition for what could probably be summarize in 2-3 dialogues.
I liked the relation between Star and the pilots in previous chapters and how we just saw their great partnership and inferred their history. But they beat you over the head about how they are brothers in this one For reason I dont understand Stars killing Facepalm with the air is heinous crime that will cost her everything even beyond her license but also makes her awesome. Hopefully I misunderstood and its more about the US shooting missiles at another country and she'll be the scapegoat.
Why would missiles be much then concentrated lasers? A constant stream of burning should be more effective against regeneration then explosions I feel. Unless its nukes which I doubt they are.
Still don't quite grasp all the rules behind Star's quirk, but whatever.
Commander Agpar?
Really?
Shout-out to Admiral Ackbar or Zoidberg?
Since Hori is a SW fan is Ackbar, but be quite or the Mouse will DMCA Shueisha.

Shout-out to Admiral Ackbar or Zoidberg?
1- Can do wathever with non sentient things
2- Need to agree on their identity with sentient things to do stuff to them.
3- Making stuff more powerful then they are has a limit. Making it weaker/die doesnt (apparently).
One other thing to consider is she has to touch things to implement her rules. They actually shot the lasers at her and she looked much more damaged after receiving the lasers than beforehand. You'd think as long as it takes her to actually speak her command she is still "touching" and therefore being damaged by the lasers.
Every first letter of Agoar's speech bubbles spells "It's a Trap."

We also have Stephen translating One Piece, and Greg doing all the random Greg things.
I'll never recover from CCC subtracting from TT. His threads literally made me care more about MHA.
f*ck the fandom sometimes

It's even worse when you consider it was mostly started and kept by Endeavour's fan that from an old trivia post (Shouto Todoroki: origin) took that he didn't liked the character and was translating stuff to keep the character in a bad light despite the atonement arc. And other weirdos that think because the know a language they can translate better than a pro.
I wasn'r aware of that, well, I double down my last post.
! Did we really have to feed All for One yet another overpowered quirk?
You know Coookie
! Kids might lose interest if the fights aren't too flashy. And he wouldn't want to get axed now.
They're not going to axe HeroAca, Shueisha makes way too much from merchandizing and films to do so.

I know that Julie, I'm mocking the apparent Axe PTSD that Hori suffers and lead him to write the most boring, rushed and predictible scenarios.

What indication is that he's writing with PTSD and not just that editorial is its usual greedy self? If anything Horikoshi seems to be focusing on drawing what he wants for the last two arcs…MILFs...
well when the class a vs b arc started, hero academia dropped down to the 5s and 6s during ToCs.
now that's not bad if no one has any knowledge of how consistently it ranks but it was running on the same period as when Souma was pulling bullshit moments and two other ecchi series manage to outrank him.
To be honest, he can do whatever he wants at this point because even if it goes into hellfire, he wouldn't be cancelled until the series end. He won't write whatever he wanted to because it won't sell and is likely autopiloting the plot at certain points.
The editors seem to be some kind of convenient scapegoat by fans, especially whenever bad shit happens or when the story sucks but they never seem to get high praise for things they have done and steered. I'm not playing that game, he is obviously a functioning and intelligent adult who should be able to oppose decisions from editorial and resist pressure from the herd of his fanbase.
Horikoshi cares a lot more about ranking and popularity than he really should, and it shows.
The lack of an REAL aftermath for the War for anyone beside Izuku, the fact that all that shit happened before a single school year finished, Mirio's deux ex recovery for the sake of fan service, killing Twice, making AFO's post Kamino discourse null by having him hijack Shigi, anyone in class A not named Izuko, Bakugo and Todoroki have little to no relevant screen time, that lack of serious heroes deaths in the War (only Midnight), etc.
All that sound like a writer that's desperate to not drop in popularity, besides the series being in it's seventh year, due to his previous cancelations. No wonder his assitent behind Red Hood was soo sour over the axing.
This is entering Bleach and Naruto levels of ridiculous. The warning signs were there when it turned out that Deku could have access to multiple powers.
making AFO's post Kamino discourse null by having him hijack Shigi.
what are you talking about
what are you talking about
The whole passing the torch to it's protegee is null if your whole plan was to hijack your protegee's body.

AFO was never planning to pass the torch he was only using and manipulating shigaraki like he does with everyone else. he directly tells us this in his first scene
He's now explaining practically every move in a battle with introspection. Might as well drop the images altogether.
Hero X Hero
I really don't see how the last chapters are any indication that Horikoshi is nervous about ranking. So far it just reads like an author trying to find the best and most exciting way to create a final arc. I have my complaints but I wouldn't say any of the chapters as of late have been bad, and especially not near the levels of bullshittery of Bleach and Naruto.
Also, even if Hori DOES care about rankings, what in the world is wrong about that? When you publish a work for a mass audience it's your job to keep an eye on what the audience wants. That's like… basic marketing.
Pretty boring chapter
The relation went from natural to force in the last 2 chapters between Star and the pilots so I didnt connect at all emotionally. And I feel those professional law enforcement would probably do it even if after they cry their eyes out.
I have to assume the guy was simply wrong about the whole if you explode my one jet this will definitely kill Facepalm. And the idea that someone with god powers got mocked because her super strength wasnt as good as All Might's is silly to me.
The way Facepalm avoided death was fairly boring. Redirecting misiles is a boring use of that power compared to everything else like using lasers or air as a weapon. And Missiles being better than lasers for regeneration is non sense to me. A constant stream should be more hurtful to an auto repairing organism than a big explosion
@Zar:

So, in other words, we better prepare for lolis, fanservice and tentacles?

Idk, pretty much checks out with fan reactions of our current world. You could be a number one in the world in any field, but make a mistake or fail or just don't be as good as someone else in something, and there comes the army of trolls and haters to take a shit on everything you've ever done.
As far as I'm concerned, Hori at least has the general public and their reactions nailed.

I stand by silly. We are talking about those who knew her personally. I dont think it tracks they mock her for lacking strength instead of sucking up for having a godly quirk. Most people dont even have super strength. Like I'm sure in the large pool of people Usain bolt meet some like to mock the way he runs but I would guess most people focus on his crazy great athletics. And those who know him personally probably think about how crazy it is they know someone that won gold medals.
But then again I also thought it made no sense that Deku a first year student with great strength and good enough showing at the festival would receive no offer for interships. So I guess me and the other have completely different ideas how people react.
sigh…. and 16 characters i guess
And then Endeavor appears out of nowhere and cut off Shigallforone's arm with his fire sword.
It's amazing how boring such a clash can feel. Hori needs to get his writing act together.
Star points at Captain Celebrity
Next, It's your turn!
