Hey a guy can dream. Personally I would totally buy a monthly serial of Red Riot and Froppy but then again I'm the type of guy that buys Booster Gold and Blue Beetle whenever they're lucky to get a serial.

[Random14]

I miss Booster Gold, he had a particularly good run after Infinite Crisis (lasting until the next big reboot).

Huh, guess its logical that there would be quirk steroids, I've got to catch up on the spin-off. Wonder if Overhaul's plan involves a lot of drugs- something to neutralize heroes and then seriously ramp up quirks. Its nowhere near as bad as AFO's combination of quirks, but I'm sure they'll have plenty of eager recruits with "weak" quirks who want that drug, convenient cannon fodder.

Nice to see Kirishima power up too (even after he gave that random thug a pep talk). And I wonder if he'll successfully capture that guy or if the drug will kill him first (one of his new blades is sticking out of his eyeball?!). And I see Deku more as "lightning bruiser", as right now he's got mobility but still lacking enough control. Eventually he'll reach All Might levels... someday.

That is likely going to be the main direction Deku will follow. However, he isn't going to become someone like The Flash, and instead will be pushing his incredible strength (aka, All For One) to do the work. In other words, his Super Speed is a byproduct of his Super Strength, something that Western Hero Comics never properly portrayed.

Also, I wouldn't be overly surprised if Deku eventually gets something like a kick that "throws" pressurised air at his opponents. All Might did something similar (though in reverse) in the first chapter, and it could give him a little more range.

I'm among those surprised the drug from the spin off got introduced into the main work. It'd be cool if the heroes of both series crossed path at some point too.

I'm soo waiting for it, the spinoff is better in some ways that the main series and it shows that not all people are jealous about quirks but learn to work with what they got.

I just realized here with possible crossover revelation, the drug incident has went for over a months back in illegal story the drug arc take place in the time when AM still full power (it's heavily hinted before Deku enrolled to UA). That mean the case is unsolved yet until present day.
I don't think i will likes this, i know a case going for over a year is natural but i was expecting Illegal will go with story more than just deal with "illegal drugs".

[marvelB]

Man, I gotta catch up to that spinoff soon enough.... truth be told, I haven't been very invested in it since it's not even written by Horikoshi. Actually, that's probably part of the reason why I don't follow actual American superhero comics so closely nowadays (inconsistent writers/artists), but that's getting off-topic....

Anyway, I appreciate seeing Kirishima getting more focus. I like the beast design for his new power-up, too. Actually, I think it would be pretty cool if he could eventually power up his quirk to the point that he can basically transform into a giant robot, but that's probably not very likely, lol. Well, maybe if his buddy Tetsutetsu gets enough training, the two of them could do a Power Rangers/Super Sentai-style docking....

Not necessarily. One thing that bringing trigger could mean is simply pointing out that the plotline of Vigilante does not exist in a vacuum. The Drug arc in vigilante could come to an end long before these current events, but just because the Vigilante's stopped their villain that does not mean that Trigger would simply disappear aswell. Pandora's box has been opened, the drug exists; the villain who made it and spread it around may be gone, but other villains are sure to pick it up and keep using it. Unless the drug was some kind of super secret formula or the result of someone's quirk, then other villains are gonna make it, sell it, spread it, and use it. Trigger is just like any other illegal drug...

Same here. I don't even know what is Vigilante until people brought up in this week. I wonder, maybe I should give Vigilante a try someday? But then, the drug plotline can hold itself perfectly in Boku no Hero without having the readers to the spin-off, at least I don't feel like disconnected when reading this chapter.

Vigilante updates only once a month and is only up to the 6th chapter, so it would not take long at all to catch up. The Events also seem to take place a bit before the start of the main series. Frankly i feel like that the main series focuses on the hero side of the world, Vigilante seems a bit more concerned with the regular people of the world. When it comes to the main series you are not really missing anything plotwise, but it is one of those things that you can add some appreciation and flavor.

Like for instance, one might think that a drug that enhances quirks would be just as big a deal as one that nullifies them and thus might wonder why the story is not as focused on that drug aswell. However, Vigilante tells us that the reason the main story isn't focused on that drug is because that drug is nothing new; its something that's been around for a while now... and if seeing that drug in action makes you want to see more of it to see what kind of impact such a thing can have, well then vigilante can fill that desire.

[marvelB]

That time is here:

Spoiler for 134:

The newly transformed Kirishima withstands the blade villain's onslaught, breaking through his defenses. He finally reaches him, and strikes a mighty blow! However, despite taking such a powerful blow, the villain manages to give the armored boy the slip. Kirishima is surprised, but it looks like before the villain manages to escape, he gets caught and apprehended by the pro hero Fatgum!

After the incident, we see the class gather together, talking about their experiences as interns. Looks like some of them even made it on the news! But soon, we see they meet up with some other acquaintances: Not only do the top 3 seniors appear, but various pro heroes as well, including Aizawa, Gran Torino, Ryukyu, and of course, Nighteye! If I'm not mistaken, Nighteye announces that it's time for them all to team up and begin their operation against the Eight Precepts....!!!!

[Sixth]

The chapter is out. It does feel pathetic that Deku doesn't left a great impression in his first day debut as his classmate.

When the "asian manufacture" word was brought up, why do I think of CHINA?

and about the Red Riot's power, is the "I can only keep up this condition for 30mins to 40mins" statement a mistranslation? Because I really doubt the entire battle took 30 minutes or 40 minutes, it should be around few seconds at best.

[Random14]

Probably a mistranslation or typo- I could see the battle lasting three to four minutes, rather than 30 or 40. Kirishima is really nice, still being encouraging even to a thug like that. I wonder if he should've smashed the guy in the face a few more times, just to make sure he's unconscious, considering how much potential for civilian casualties there were (but then restraint is also important).

Ha, apparently there's the "real" American version and then cheap Asian knockoff version, strange to hear it like that. Looks like Sun Eater's power is still out. That's the most worrisome thing right now- if they mass produce that drug and then put it in a machinegun, the heroes are in serious trouble.

Too bad Deku's not getting much press, but Sir Nighteye is in some ways more senior and also does more behind the scenes investigating, which is why the others' public actions get more press. Whoa, big meeting. We've seen big hero meetings before, but even the kids are invited now. I'd guess Deku is probably going to get another chance to rescue that girl soon.

ch 134

wowwy, kirishima is some HOT sh*t!!

anyways, translation error: kirishimas supermode lasts mostlikely 30 to 40 seconds, not minutes...

as for the other stuff: it is probably confirmed,
the negation-drug only lasts for a limited amount of time, afterall suneater came with the other people...

as for the power-up drug,
it doesnt seem like it is a totally unheard drug that is produced solely in the underworld,

the drug seems to have been created by the government and inferior versions are used by low-level criminal people like the blade-villian,
who, actually, had a pretty great powered up quirk, he was able to shoot himself and control the direction of his quirk

in any case, all threee teams are now together, next two or three chapters will mostliekly be less action and more talk/hyping up the big battle

im sure he got his powers back,
otherwise what would be the point of bringing him to meeting?

[Kanon]

The Illegals chapter eclipsed the main series this week IMO. It was nice to get to know Ingenium, he was a true hero and I don't understand why he ended up as one of Stain's target. I guess it was only because he had his own company.

[marvelB]

Yeah, that was definitely a mistranslation on MS's part. Kirishima's power-up lasts for 30-40 seconds, not minutes. Also, according to the alternate translation I read, the stronger versions of that drug are manufactures in Africa, not America. Dunno if THAT'S an error too, but I do think that sounds more interesting if that info's correct....

Otherwise, not much else to say. I'm naturally looking forward to Nighteye's plan to deal with Overhaul, of course. I am also curious about those other pro heroes gathered alongside the ones we're already familiar with...

[Kanon]

Yeah, I'm also curious to see these unknown heroes in action.

Regarding Kirishima, no doubt his time limit will eventually be extended through training. He'll be a real power house if he can maintain that state for longer periods of time.

[marvelB]

Come to think of it, we haven't seen Ryukyu in action yet either, have we? Really interested in seeing her abilities, too (I'm sure she's quite powerful, being a dragon-themed hero and all). Also kinda want to see what else Nighteye has going for him aside from his precognition. Surely, the former sidekick of All Might wouldn't be lacking in the combat department....

Also, forgot to mention it earlier, but it never ceases to amuse me whenever I see a butthurt Bakugou.

I knew it there must be a mistake when i read Kirishima could activated his power for 30-40 miniutes that is too convenience for power-up.

Hmmm then that's mean the quirk boost are manufactured from foreign country (not from japan).
I am glad if that's true, a good way to expand Boku no Hero world.

[~Yami~]

I'm just happy that we might got an arc involving Kirishima, Deku, TSUYU, and Uraraka
it is been a while since Tsuyu grabbed the spotlight

and hopefully Sun Eater already recovered his quirk
