Ya know? I don't know why I never thought to take All Might's mental symbolic representation of One for All, of the light zinging from one color to the next...literally.
Look back over last season's episodes, I decided to actually count the lights and got to 7, and I realize now that All Might didn't have his own light as the light zinged into his own hand and thus he is #8. And when the 2nd season premiered it had the same light go from All Might to Izuku showing it going from the 8th to the 9th. I feel kind of sheepish for not noticing it earlier.

Episode 15:
I loved Stain's reaction this episode to the villians, very stylistic of him and expected. I'm hyped to see Iida vs Stain next time though. He should be careful and take his mentor's advice still. Tomura's behavior this episode was like a spoiled child although I find the interactions between him and Stain to be rather amusing. Next episode should be pretty intense.

Hmm, Stain is interesting. He reminds me of another character from another series but I just can't quite place it. (edit: Just remembered! He reminds me of Baron Mordo in the Dr. Strange movie. Especially with is his "too many heroes" thinking. All I heard in my head was the "too many sorcerers" line. )
Shigaraki cracked me up! He tells Kurogiri that he doesn't want Stain in his gang because the guy is too crazy. I literally laughed out loud. Tomura, you know you are really being the pot right now, calling the kettle black! I liked that Manual saw through Iida's obvious intent. However I don't know if I agree with him about the "hero must not used his quirk for himself or personal gain" line. I mean, it would be different if these heroes were like Spiderman or something and didn't make any money from the feats that they do. But they are quite literally gaining from the use of their quirks. Sure there is a lot of altruistic parts of being a hero, but a lot of it is based on personal gain as well, even non physical gains, such as being the best or being the strongest. So, while I know what he's trying to say, I also think that his wording is off here as well. So, now we have multiple Nomus on the loose. I actually feel really sorry for these things now that we know they were people once that got twisted up and experimented on. I love how Shigaraki just acts like a spoiled kid and Kurogiri just stands behind him like a put out butler having to deal with all this. We also get an idea of who may be behind all this as we can see that it is perhaps someone very much like All Might who can give quirks to others. I'm quite intrigued. Also, Iida has stepped into very dangerous territory challenging Stain like this, especially as this guy seems to be able to freeze people long enough to be able to hack them to death.But I'm glad he did it in trying to protect another hero and not just to get vengeance.

I think what Manual was talking about is the fact that quirks are regulated by the state and used for the benefit of the citizens. Using it for personal reasons would be against the law. He does point out that Stain is in fact a criminal and does need to be stopped. I think he's just warning for the slippery slope.

I know what he's actually saying here, but I think there is an argument to be made that many heroes indeed use their quirks and their status as heroes selfishly. It very nicely connects to some of the same points that Stain is making as well.

When a hero hurts a villain, it's on behalf of the authorities. This is necessary to maintain order. |

It could also be that because English carries a lot more meanings and a lot more words that mean similar, yet slightly different things, compared to Japanese. It might be just my interpretation of the translation rather that what's being actually said in its original tongue.

They're on Chapter 50 right now in terms of episode. There are 145 chapters out total at the moment.
Anyway, review is out. Not even four days into his internship, Izuku finds himself in the midst of a major battle and they have to deal with a bunch of Nomus going wild. Stain doesn’t approve, since it goes against his ideals, and its stated that where he appears crime rate falls since his actions breed better heroes. Is it good? No. He’s a murderer and someone whose desires have driven him to kill, albeit for what he perceives to be a good reason. However, he’s better than Shiragaki, who basically wants to cause trouble because it amuses him and I feel he should have taken care of him while he had the chance. Oh well… As for what Manual was warning him of. You could tell from how he was talking that he knows that Iida came looking for Stain since it was the city where his brother got hurt, so he was warning him that using it for a selfish reason, revenge, wasn't something he should do. Hence why Stain decided, after originally intending to let him go, to kill him after hearing his goal. He had just told Native, who told him to die, that a hero should watch what they say in their final moments.

This, but it should be mentioned that using a Quirk in public at all is technically illegal without a license (like being a hero) outside of self-defense. There's too many variety of them to properly ban one power over another. Police are usually willing to treat something like being able to glide over the surfaces like jaywalking, but a power being used for something obviously criminal will get you in more trouble and it takes a few offenses to be labeled a villain officially... unless, you know, murder or something serious. Being a hero means you get a pass to use your Quirk, and while we have people like Izuku, remember there are also people like Endeavor. Listen to Stain's words and compare them to heroes like Endeavor, and you have his argument in a nutshell. Endeavor is obsessed with being number one and put his wife through an abusive marriage since he figured that if he couldn't, he'd make something that could. He places fame over everything else, so he isn't worthy of being a hero in his eyes. Stain is an extreme, of course. I mean, he'd probably kill Uraraka since her goal for becoming a hero is to be paid well, despite the fact that she's clearly putting the care of others before that.
