My Hero Academia

Poe's Law strikes again.

If you're unsure whether something you're typing might be taken seriously, add a smiley.

You need to link to Joking Mode to let people know, you filthy ignorant swine.

No. I take too much pride in the English language to pollute my posts with emoji or blue texts. Feel free to type your posts how you like. Theory of relativity and all that. I will just post walls of text when i get called out. But not now since this is getting off topic. Back to lurking I go.

@Doc Jamore, Sorry dude, it's just a bit hard to tell sometimes. Plus I wasn't in the best mood so I just took it a bit wrong, normally I'm a little better at detecting humor.

A new chapter of Illegals is up.

Well, he's got some roommates now it seems.

So...shouldn't those two have their own homes?

That would be anywhere near as funny though.

I like Pop Step's civilian appearance

So uh. Mirio huh. Huh. Lol

Haha, he's kinda cute. The nervous little rascal.

Also Vault-Boy is fucking broken AF. Damn son that mofo being all badass & shit.

The girl though, wow she's a fun one, sorta.

I hope Shouji tells us why he wears his mask someday though.

Nobody cared who he was until he put it in on.

Yea, I kinda figured these guys would be a bunch of odd balls. And closest hero to pro? really?

Closest to matching All Might including pros was how I read it, if you mean the description of Fallout Boy at the end.

That's how I read it as well. He's not close to the level of the adult professionals, he is on and surpassing that level.

Well, this wasn't too surprising but that little reveal at the end was. I guess people have really high expectations for this guy when he graduates.

I wonder if that'll be part of why he wasn't chosen, because despite his demeanor (and probably genuine desire to be a hero) he couldn't take the kind of pressure being the "Symbol of Peace" entails.

Also, I didn't even realize Shoji was wearing a mask until they pointed it out here.

I'm disappointed Hadou's curiosity didn't reach Tokoyami. What an wasted opportunity.

Well, I checked the Big 3's names already.

• Vault Boy's given name is Mirio. It's written in katakana, so there's no official translation, but among the many translation options "milimeter man" is the one that makes the most sense to me. His family name is Togata, written with the kanji "passing through form".

We know his quirk already so surprises here.

• Akamatsu's given name is Nejire, written in hiragana. That's usually the imperative form of the verb "to twist". Her family name, Hadou, is exactly what you would expect it to be.

My guess for her quirk is some spinning energy beam kinda like Piccolo's Makankosappou? I hope it's something more original than that.

• Sasuke's given name is Tamaki, which is one those bracers you wear in your elbows (are they called "elbow pads" in English? I'm not sure). His family, Amajiki, means "heaven-devouring".

My guess is that he has a Vacuum Mouth in his elbow. If that's the case, his quirk allows him to attack even when he is on his back, with has face to wall like he usually is.

I like the big three already. They're damn weirdos, who, by the looks of it, earned what they got the hard way.

I can't wait for Mirio's quirk to be fully revealed. Mopey boy's statement about how they should be regarding his technique instead of his superpower has me excited. Maybe it's something totally unremarkable on paper, but he worked really fooken hard to get where he is now.

Wonder how exactly his intangibility works. Is it selective in what he can phase through or not? What's the activation requirement? What happens when he stops using it while phased through something? But even then, it's cool seeing someone who focuses more on physical prowess and technique rather than just completely relying on their quirk.

My bet is that you can hit him if you do it during the very moment when he's hitting somebody else, because he has to be fully solid for that.

But when you hit him, you realize that he has covered for that weakness by just becoming top-class in strength and endurance. So it's not a "hah, I figured the weak point of your Quirk, now I win" thing, it's a "hah, I figured the weak point of your Quirk, now I have to find a way to exploit it a big bunch of times before you defeat me".

He might have different intangibility on different parts of his body judging by the comment on fine tuning and how his pants fell off slower than his shirt

So you'd also have to figure out what parts of his body are even hittable moment to moment

So he beat all those kids in 5,52 seconds?Cause I doubt the others would be gawking like that for 5:52 minutes.

Well, we all knew the dude would be a beast, but still.

Wonder what the other two do?

I'm guessing the girl's power is inappropriate touching

So he has Obito's Kamui is what I'm understanding. They didn't actually explain his quirk weirdly enough.

Class 1A actually really could've used Bakugou for this fight.

"Great, just when we finally got rid of that asshole, we actually need his power"
