(L) Boku no Hero Academia

[Proto]

I mean, from the point of view of characterization and plot style I'd pin Boku no Hero Academia closer to Hunter X Hunter than the alternatives.

The quality of an argument or comparison in this case doesn't depend on the amount of people who are familiar with it. There are plenty of series with better written characters like the aforementioned HxH for example. Of course to make a good case one would have to read the actual source first however.

How would you even compare Uraraka to HxH's main heroine which... doesn't exist? Well, you could argue Killua is the heroine, but you get my point.

I couldn't disagree more about My Hero Academia being closer to Hunter x Hunter than Naruto.

Spoiler for o...k:

If this is the cliffhanger i wonder what the author thought by doing this, no chance the two MCs are going to die.

[RDNexus]

Erm...

Spoiler:

There's the "Image of Death" or something in boxes.
It may just be a projection to scare them both or so.

[AP24]

So 30% is the normal and 45% is the highest Deku can use without getting injured

Cant read japanese.

^30% should make him far above anyone in the setting,

Spoiler for s:

how bakugo can somehow keep up with him is still baffling me

[Kanon]

Spoiler for Spoilers:

Eraser! The perfect hero to counter Shigaraki.

I think we have to accept that Bakugou will most likely be able to keep up with 100% OFA by the end of the series, on account of being the rival. I was glad his personal beef against Shigaraki was brought up.

Something like that, I guess.

Not everything has to be a 1:1 comparison also Horikoshi said One Piece was also a huge influence in him not just Naruto and it shows.

Another week, another non-official TL! So basically, Deku (and Bakugou, even if he doesn't admit it) is acting as bait while Endeavor and the other pros handle Shigaraki. Speaking of the villain, I notice his line to Aizawa at the end there is the same thing he said to him earlier in the series, back when he led the first villain attack on the UA students. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like Shigaraki is digging in his pocket on the last page's middle panel (you can even see a little sfx there), so he's probably going to make use of one of those bullets.....

[~Yami~]

Spoiler for new chapter:

I think we should have enough death in this arc, but Shigaraki didn't want to back down at all

Either Eraser or Endeavor might fall

anyway, Kacchan's development is really good. He tried really hard to be Deku's #2 :P
well he might be #1 since I could not see Deku as top of the rank
I prefer Kacchan to be his rival than Todoroki or others

[Kanon]

Aizawa raised a ton of death flags in those last two pages.

[LevelSeven]

Cant really see Aizawa dying, he probably loses his quirk or just gets badly injured. The plot with kurogiri wouldnt really have a direction otherwise.

Though i can imagine it to go: aizawa dies, the arc ends, shigaraki escapes, Mic tells deku and co about their past, and than at some point kurogiri gets talk no jutsu'ed into not obeying shigaraki anymore.

Either way, nice chapter, although the moment of the dragon hitting shigaraki away should have been made differently, confused me quite a bit since there doesnt seem to be a big impact despite him being thrown away at full strength.

[Wandering Soul]

Yeah Aizawa is either dying or losing his quirk. His ability to cancel quirks means that he sort of has to be taken care of to stop him from tipping the scales too much.

[Kanon]

I never thought about this before but... giving OFA to Aizawa seems like it would have been extremely smart, given that he's a natural counter to AFO. He's also extensively trained his body to fight on par with individuals with quirks, so he probably would have been able to use a good percentage of the power right off the bat. I guess there's the problem of his personality, he could never become a symbol of peace.

[Random14]

At the time All Might chose his successor, he didn't think the next one would have to worry about fighting All For One again, or rather, that things would be so dire (with Shigaraki so powerful and getting all the quirks AFO gathered for hiim). Which is why Nighteye thought someone already really strong like Mirio should have gotten it while All Might went with Deku who impressed him.

Gran Torino to the rescue again. And at least Aizawa can slow down Shigaraki for a bit, not sure how much longer this battle will go on. Still several heavyweights on both sides in play (Giganto is approaching and Endeavor will catch up) but not like this will be the big climatic battle, one side will fall back eventually.

I mean, to be honest, giving OFA to most other people with a quirk would already be smarter than just giving it to Deku, it would at least be "some small quirk that can be boosted with OFA to a useful power" + OFA instead of just a quirkless person.

But AM didnt really think all that much for it.

[Diluc]

Watch out Shigaraki that quirkless bullet can be heroes reverse uno card against yourself.
