(L) Boku no Hero Academia

[Slayerx]

Y'know with the anime reaching the sports festival, it got me thinking that i'm a bit irked by the lack of the big three back then. I mean, sure i understand why the sports festival said there was a lot of attention on the first years because of the villain incident, but knowing Mirio's own standing it feels like their should have still be enthusiasm for the seniors. After all Mirio is said to be close to being number 1 among heroes and that includes the pros. You would think that the media would be tracking his development if he was really that far a long. Just one of those annoying nit picks

and hopefully Sun Eater already recovered his quirk

Ya one thing i do enjoy about this series is that its doing a fair job in making the most of its extended cast. I mean, one thing that annoyed me about Naruto is that it had an interesting extended cast but their development was rather poor as the series was never interested in most of them; only a scant few ever got the chance to really stand out and rarely. My Hero Academia has its work cut out for them though as they are dealing with a class of 20. There's also class B, but i don't expect too many of them to actually get development as the focus will mostly stay on class A characters (though a few class B will stand out). So far, i would say they've done a fair job

Honestly though, i do think a series like this might be better if it didn't have a clear main character. If the narrative did not feel a need to focus on Deku in every single story arc it would give the narrative more freedom to bounce around between characters. Giving Deku half as much page time would have still made him a very prominent character while allowing a lot more chances for all the other characters. Actually might have been interesting to see how that would pan out.

Personally i'm actually hoping for Jirou and Momo to get the spotlight next. And it has been a while since we've done anything with Ilda.

Momo and Iida already got decent amount at the climax confrontation during Bakugou's rescue mission

but I think Kirishima got too much spotlight lately... if this keeps up, I might not surprised if he might get death flag

Don't jinx him!

Almost forgot to bring it up earlier, but I looked into that thing about where the quirk drugs were manufactured from.... turns out, it WAS America, after all. A tad unfortunate IMO, as I thought it would have been more interesting if those drugs were produced in a slightly less obvious location.... oh well.

On another note, going back to those heroes shown at the end of the chapter, there's something neat to point out: Like Bubble Girl, one of them is another fan-submitted idea! Notice that one guy who seemed to be wearing a bug mask?

Well, as it turns out, he's a centipede-themed hero! Gotta say, while I'm not a fan of those multi-legged suckers in real life, I actually really like this fellow's design. Hope we see him in action this arc...

[LevelSeven]

^wow...that is some strange power,
gotta admit that his ability caught me off-guard :/

No,that's good still better than revealed the drug manufactured at japan.
It always annoyed me how manga often depicted japan as center of everything...
well, i know because manga is from japan but in wider point that bit bored to swallowed.

Agreed. I like how the BokuHero author doesn't make Japan as center of everything too and also respect him for making police force actually relevant instead of anti- skill fodders.

Actually BokuHero still pesky in this part, most renowned heroes and villain are coming japan.

But with the introduction of Hero HQ in american i hope that sign the pro-heroes we known are from japan not world class heroes It's hard for me to buy heroes likes Edgeshot and Stylish are world class heroes.

I am glad if that's true, a good way to expand Boku no Hero world.

To be fair, the translation group that's from has made some pretty questionable translation decisions, like calling Overhaul's group "The Eight Cleansers". Maybe I'll see if I can find the original Japanese and figure out which it is...

EDIT:
Yeah, looked up the original and they use the kanji for America (米). Can only guess that the translators were in a rush, ignored the kanji, and misread the furigana as アフリカ rather than アメリカ. (In fairness, the furigana is very small, though the kanji is not.)

From what we've read, we only know of one "World Class" Hero, All Might (with One For All). And one "World Class" Villian, All For One. And All For One and All Might's "origins" are related (All For One accidentally created the One For All power, which was then used to resist & fight against All For One). Even the Villain's Alliance is only a national problem.

That said, I doubt that there's really all that many of what's seen as "World Class" Hero's. Maybe half a dozen active hero's, at most. And by "World Class" I mean "World Leading" and/or "World Famous". And I mean "World Famous" in the way that Michel Jackson (despite if you loved him or hated him) was world famous, in that even if you don't know anything about the field they're in, you still know some things about that person just because of how prevalent they are.

Spoiler for 135:

Honestly, I couldn't make out much of the dialogue (and this is one text-heavy chapter too, just looking at the few pics available), but in a nutshell, it basically involves the hero teams discussing Overhaul's schemes. As far as I can tell, they're mainly focused on the anti-quirk bullets and its properties, which particularly seem to disturb Deku and Mirio. The both of them then think of Eri, the girl Overhaul was holding captive, and they swear that this time they'll succeed in protecting her. I believe Nighteye answers that saving that girl is their current purpose...!!!


Oh, and BTW, that centipede hero I mentioned in my previous post is formally introduced this chapter (his name's something like Centipeder, I think). He's also one of Nighteye's sidekicks!

Generally, World Class Heroes refers for heroes like Avenger or Justice League if they exist then them should be the gathering of top heroes from around world.
AM is number 1 hero in his country then he is definitely the members of that league. All for one is said as underground king, he should be the top notch villain in villain world at global scale.

Spoiler for comment:

Infodump chapter?
Both Mirio and Deku are fired up in this chapter, they all serious into this.

Damn, New chapter was heavy. Overhaul is a piece of shit.

And once again Academia manages to perfectly convey emotion without words. I love this art style.

If there's an organisation like that, it would likely be made up of all the top 3 ranked hero's (and those who have been part of the top 3 ranked) of the nations that are part of the UN. However, I believe that there wouldn't be such an organisation for a few reasons, one of the major ones being that there isn't/shouldn't be any real intergalactic, planetary threats to the world in this story. I mean, there could be such beings, but having them suddenly appear at Earth when they haven't been there before in known history would be weird. Though it could be used as an explanation for why Quirks appeared.

Anyway, the example of All Might's Fame we received was that he was famous even in the US, not that he was a part of some elite Hero Group. As such, I used fame as a determinator instead of something that could be used to describe Eraserhead. Because, in his preferred method of combat, Eraserhead could be said to be All Might's equal, while All Might easily trumps everyone else we've seen purely in fame.

I wouldn't say "perfectly". I mean, that does fit those characters for the situation they're in and what they're thinking, but, personally, I see "post-event fear" not "developing anger due to increased knowledge". Basically, my complaint is that it's impossible to perfectly convey feelings in a picture, due to the subjectivity of readers, even if it's done VERY well.

I can't tell whether they are afraid of Overhaul's evil scheme or they are angry for not saving the girl when they could.

[salamander750]

Hmmm, there are some mysteries about Eri quirk here. They said that the anti quirk bullets attack the quirk it self, not the activation of quick, so what will happen if the anti quirk bullets is used on someone who have a mutant type quirk or someone have an inhuman appearance like Tokoyami? Will it make them return to their huam form too? And what is quirk destruction? Are quirks like a program so is can be steal, negate, destroy, transfer......Man I have lots of question but no answer. And what the hell is a "quirk factor"? Is it a type of DNA or is it a hidden part in the body that generate power, and explain why is can be damage?

I think you just proved his point.

Its the girl. Now that they know what Overhaul has been doing to Eri, they know that they basically allowed her torment to continue. They were afriad for her before but her predicament is much more serious than they imagined

Eh, i disagree. I mean not only do we have the most notable heroes and villains coming out of japan, but what i think was pretty egregious was how the UA sports festival surpassed the Olympics as the most watched event in the world. Now that's just blatant... I could accept the sports festival being the most watched event in the country, but not the world. It would make sense for japan to care since those kids are likely to become their future heroes. Frankly i would think the other countries would have similar events in their own countries

Come to think of it, it actually is a bit odd that UA is the only one that does it. You would think every hero school would want to show off their students to increase their prestige and give their students a better shot in the hero world. Heck it would make much more sense for the provisional license exam to be a highly publicize event since it pits schools against each other

[~Yami~]

oh no... I thought Overhaul will be a kind of smart and charming villain like Stain but he is actually twisted... please save the loli

who have that Centipede-man hero idea? I hate that creature

[Somethindarker]

I gotta say, Centipeder looks fucking awesome. Centipedes are amazing creatures google them, trust me you'll be impressed.
