My Hero Academia II - A true Hero

@El-Matematico said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:

There has to be a balance between "the character can do anything by himself" and "the character is granted everything", and yet MHA strongly claims the first while strictly doing the second.

Couldn't agree more.

Meanwhile, Deku's dad is still MIA.

Hisashi might be his father, but Toshinori is his daddy. That said, I'm still up in the Inko/AFO ship.

@Nectar said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:

For all we know, Deku participated in the war and that's when he completely lost OFA. Horikoshi conveniently keep when the ember left ambiguous. We don't even know how long Deku's been a teacher.

My understanding is the embers went out on UA graduation. I also understood we're in 8 years after graduation, so a total 10 year timeskip, which fits with Kota being a UA student. So I guess at least 6 years, we know nothing about what consists the pedagogical qualifications of a UA teacher.

@Nectar said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:

Although, I wonder if the original ending was Horikoshi's true ending but was talked into giving Deku a suit to possibly continue the series one day.

I think the end we got was exactly what Hori intended, is perfectly consistent with his inconsistent message of everyone can be a hero (terms and conditions may apply).

Good news, Attack on Titan, you have competition for "worst ending in the past 10 years".

Bleach Manga: This dude spitting facts.

Promised Neverland Anime: Well I guess.

Act Age Manga: [cries]

I think it was a good ending, it just lacks punch because...

I give this ending a pass considering that so many series have bad ones. There is a sense of progression with a natural conclusion unlike endings where the entire journey felt pointless (looking at you Reborn!).

I'm notorious for having very base level standards, and yeah...
Reborn fucking wounded me. Especially because I was a fan of the cast and liked a lot of the battles.
But then that ending, holy crap what a slap in the face.

My god Hori you needy bastard, a popularity poll after the series end is too much.

Some Q&A from the next movie booklet

*Q: Please tell us a first off the press secret about All Might!

Horikoshi: He has absolutely zero experience with women.*

Hmm. I always thought All Might and Detective Tsukauchi had great chemistry together.

@Nectar
Between his sister working for CC and him being a long time "police" partner of Toshinori, the siblings might have a type.

Winner will get a statue huh...
Feels like we're gonna get one last laugh out of Bakugo being more popular than Deku.
Explosion Murder God statue incoming, calling it now.

@MDL
It not even a matter for debate. Bakugo gonna win both rounds.
But if we organize well we could put Koichi there.

It would be kinda embarrassing for the main character to not be the one getting the statue, so I wonder if the reason why they will have the final voting be with only with the top 3 characters (obviously Bakugo, Deku and Shoto) is because they have some info that Deku might be more popular with the portion of the fanbase that normally don't vote for any of those 3.

Cinder

What are the chances it’ll be rigged for Deku? I started getting skeptical when Gintama had Shinpachi win 8th place twice in a row that ended up playing into a joke in an arc that his name had the kanji for 8, haha.

Threw my vote to All Might

At least vote for someone more unsung, like Kesagiriman or Important Guy.

I'd like it to be All Might. Deku is an ok character, but he's Ichigo-tier as a protagonist.

Marcotty

As bad as we know it's already gonna be decided, the biggest point should be that we don't need a statue for characters that already have them or will already be getting more of them. Another one for All Might, Deku, Bakugo, or Todoroki is just completely unnecessary.

Sure I voted for Koichi, but I just wish the collective fanbase population would have enough of a brain to vote for new people.

I feel most of the MHA community takes the series too seriously for anyone other than Bakugo or Deku winning. That said... Ok course, I voted for Koichi!

@Nectar
We will have have a "Kobeni's Car" moment in the polls, but we had Best Jeanist, Shindo, Rody.

Many of us, me included, have no idea who already has a statue and won't be looking it up. All Might is my favorite character. I'll vote for him.

I voted for Fat Gum because he has a funny name.

pariston_hill

One thing I think I never commented is that I hated how the vestiges became Deku's battle strategists and quirk experts. I fell it cheapens Deku's hero geek expertise and his own battle instincts.

On something completely different, anon cooked here

Yeah, I really don't buy the idea that Minato only won the world poll because "people voted for a character that could benefit the most from the announced prize".
Nobody will stop voting for their favorite based on that kind of logic.

With that said, these online world polls can be very unpredictable due to botting.

Given the divisiveness over the last stretch of Egghead island’s chapters that is funny.
