[up]I do expect the family history will become public one way or another.

I've seen a lot of people say they won't be satisfied with the story arc unless Endeavor goes to prison. I don't think that's a realistic possibility, and I never have, but I do imagine at least people knowing how crazy he used to be will end up becoming public.

I think he should at least lose his position as Number One, if not resign altogether. I'd like if he said, "Yes, I did do all of those things. They were wrong, and I will accept the consequences, whatever they might be."

I have a feeling that this is going to be a skeleton that will remain buried in-verse, since the impact wouldn't affect him that badly, beyond being potential blackmail material for villains to exploit. (And even if it was exploited, people will see the difference between the past and the present, only seeing what he is doing now, and not have done back then.)

What could be a dethroning moment though, might be the fate of the eldest son of his (especially if it's Dabi).

Imagine the civil uproar that could occur once it comes out that the eldest son of the number one hero of Japan, is a arsonist-aligned serial killer known by the police and a massive headcount to his name.

I wonder what might happen if a hero is revealed to be bound by blood to a villain of such serious degree like that. Would it be approved? Or would the public start throwing accusations at the hero depending on if he doesn't act immediately to arrest the villain when given chance?

I guess Endeavour's future will be set the moment a choice will be made once Dabi reveals his true identity to him...on live television, just to make sure that Endeavour can't cover it all up in secret.

Will he let him go, be so stunned that he miss the opportunity to act, or arrest him?

These three choices will be what set the public's opinion about him.

Not the home abuse.

Just a theory and assumption-based guesswork.

I have two thoughts on two characters related to clothes:

  • Honenuki might not be able to soften living things, but if he did it to people's clothes that could really trip them up. Something to think about in a situation where he can get close to them but can't make them sink into the ground.

  • For Ashido, her character profile noted she has to be careful not to melt her clothes. Which makes me think it's honestly kind of surprising he hasn't had her accidentally melt her own clothes to look sexily tattered. Not upset about it, just pleasantly surprised.

[up] 1. Wouldn't that strip the opponent nude? Wouldn't that be quite a bit...illegal? Considering that if he did that to a woman, I can't even imagine what kind of trouble he would get into on a certain legal scale...

2. Shows the level of self-control she got in order to prevent that from happening. Good for her. Or her Hero suit in itself is acid proof and it's more of her normal clothing that she's worried about.

Speaking of Mina, I wonder what new tricks she might be pulling in this final match as sign of her growth.

Maybe she'll use a acid that evaporates when in contact with air, turning it into acid gas, that trips the opponent up as they suffer from its effects?

Teargas, essentially.

Would be within the legal border of a quirk, right?

I assume her hero costume is acid proof. Her shoes certainly are.

If you look closely, the parts where Mina is stressed out studying for exams have her shirt with acid holes in it (undershirt's fine, though).

I can imagine it being particularly effective with someone like Ida, whose costume consists of stiff armor.

I mean, Todoroki and Ashido are allowed to hit people with fire and acid, respectively, which besides the physical harm would probably mess up their clothes anyway.

So, haven't said anything for a while, but, what do you think of this arc so far?

I want to keep my judgement for after this last match, which seems the "more important" and the one I'm looking for the most, but, while I think it's inferior to the previous three, and I think it was never meant to be on that level (Internship, Festival and Endeavor arc have been awesome, so it's not bad being inferior to these), I'm still finding it enjoyable to read. It helps that I love Hori's artstyle, so I would probably like even a chapter solely dedicated to Midoriya eating a sandwich.

Definitely nowhere near as good as the last arc, but as I said before; it's alright, but I really do wish we can move on to something else.

Well it’s not exactly an epic-arc.

You can’t expect it to be as awesome as Endeavor’s fight to the death while trying to make up for being such a shitty dad.

I’m enjoying it to an extent, but I will admit that we’re kind of standing still plot-wise. There’s been some good character bits, and it’s been cool seeing Class B in action, but it has been a bit of a chore, which is likely why the last fight was so short. The chapter length definitely seems to be at fault here.

Hopefully, things get a chance to advance properly with this last round, which seems to be the most likely to advance the plot.

Honestly I'm withholding judgment on it until we see A. what effect it has on the characters and story and B. how it reads continuously rather than at a rate of 13 pages a week.

At the moment I'm tempted to say that it's dragging on a bit longer than its importance really merits, but we don't know eventually how it'll be relevant, especially because we haven't seen the final match yet and it's obviously going to be the most important one.

That said, I have enjoyed seeing what Class B has to offer, the fights themselves have all been pretty interesting.

[up][up][up] And a shitty husband, don't forget it. Though, honestly, I personally wouldn't call that arc "epic". As cool the fight was, the arc consisted almost exclusively on that. However, kudos to Hori for making such a risky move that few would dare (that is, giving depths and simpathy to an abusive dad and husband, which usually are just hate-sinks and nothing more)

Edit: [up]As I've already said, I'm too waiting for the final match to give a final verdict. Like in every arc, but this time in particular because I feel that the majority of the important stuff will happen there

The Endeavor stuff feels less to me like a completed "arc" and just a part of an arc that will be continued later. I don't necessarily consider that bad, though.

And I agree with [up][up] for the most part. We're at the final and most important part, so we'll see what happens.

The pacing is definitely the biggest issue here, and it's a similar feeling I had towards the Overhaul arc. Long stretches of chapters dedicated to plot points that, in the grand scheme, don't add much to the arc or overarching storyline.

I didn't mind the Culture Festival because it was just 10 chapters and was mostly focused on Deku and Gentle, with some focus on the festival itself. The Pro Hero arc also focused mainly on Endeavor, Hawks, and their fight against High End.

Short and to the point is where this series is at it's best.

It's only when Hori starts focusing on a lot of the side characters that things slow down, because then our attention is diverted and after a certain point, you just want to get back to the main plot. Especially if you feel like the focus isn't adding anything.

Like I said, I don't hate this arc, but a better word is that I'm just over it and want to move on. I've seen enough of Class B to understand what they're about after the first match, and outside of a few interesting bits (Like seeing how Todoroki's familial issues will come into play later, Iida and Tokoyami's improvements on their quirks, and showcasing some development for Bakugo) I just get a feeling of "Eh..."

BUT, this is the most important match, so let's see how it goes.

But the pacing is as almost every arc, in fact, I can say it's even faster than the Culture festival arc (which was more than 10 chapters), where it had more chapters of set-up while this one had only 2 before getting into action, and the fights are faster than Deku vs Gentle. Only this time we have more fights and with much lower (if not non-existant in some cases) stakes

As others have said, "pacing issues" have probably mostly been due to the chapters being shorter for the arc.

Because looking at it otherwise, a 20-25 chapter arc really shouldn't be considered "long", I think.

But if it feels long to some people, there's nothing you can really do, except wonder if it'll feel faster when it's completed and binged.

It feels long because in comparison to other arcs it’s sorta longer but even then it’s not that long because arcs these days are shorter than those of back then.

Like compare the Yakuza arc to any arc of Naruto.

How many volumes did each arc take?

As for me, I'm liking this arc a lot. I enjoy seeing the Class B students' capabilities, and a bit of their personality. My favourite right now is Honenuki, to the point that I can actually remember his name.

From my perspective this a bit of up close world building, where the extras get a bit of spotlight, like a large scale Lower-Deck Episode, something I always like to see. Lets you know there's more going on than just the main characters, without fully pulling away into a tangent.

I also have to say, I'm enjoying this because I just like seeing new Quirks. And since we've known the names of all of Class B's for awhile it's cool to see them.
