I'm a bit disappointed 1-B lost. Kinda throws away the point of the whole arc, you know, that they're said to be intended equals to 1-A.

At least the Instant Expert stuff's been jossed. That would've been really bad if it hadn't, though I wonder how it'll apply to the rest of the quirks? It's probably safe to say that at least 1/6 aren't combat based.

I'm not a fan of Ochako but I'll say she was smart not to reply to Monoma. Dude's Leaning on the Fourth Wall pretty heavy nowadays.

Though with 1-A's win that brings up the question of what'd happen to Shinso; the teachers let the match carry on as things were seemingly normal—and not to mention that even he himself thinks he's been bullshitted by Deku—so "getting into the Hero Course because he helped stop OFA's rampage" seems like it might be out of the question.

It'd be a massive letdown and would honestly just feel like Horikoshi's screwing with us if he doesn't make it in, yet would it even make sense if he did what with him and 1-B only winning like 1 match plus a draw?

Obviously they didn't stand a chance once this match turned into a melee brawl, but man I dunno, it just feels...unfair.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

Well, in all fairness, this was supposed to be just a normal united exercise between the classes with zero bragging rights involved and beneficial for them both, however, Monoma had to open his mouth from the get-go and turned it into a competition, which it wasn't.

So the real point here I guess is to see where the flaws are, work on them, and then try again next time around. Only next time, both classes would be ready for it and not fall into the same trap twice, and have improved even further as heroes in both their abilities and skills.

It's basically just a learning experience for everyone involved, nothing else.

Conceptual idea: Todoroki family role reversal with Rei as the stern and fearsome Ice Hero and a Shoto who will only use fire at first

[up][up]What about the first match?

I kinda wish Shinso had won because he's trained with his ropes far longer than Deku has trained with his.

That's not what the match even came down to. And if it did come down to that it's clearly less "show Shinso's growth" and more "I'm throwing him a bone, because under ordinary circumstances he wouldn't stand a chance against Deku."

Though with 1-A's win that brings up the question of what'd happen to Shinso; the teachers let the match carry on as things were seemingly normal—and not to mention that even he himself thinks he's been bullshitted by Deku—so "getting into the Hero Course because he helped stop OFA's rampage" seems like it might be out of the question.

There is no question of what happens to Shinso, seriously, him not joining the Hero Course was never a serious option.

The teachers very clearly think that was an uncontrollable rampage that Shinso helped out with. Also Izuku can just say that's actually what happened, because it was. Shinso going "did you trick me!" says nothing about probability of him getting in.

Not to mention there were other things to consider besides this match, like the first match that his team won.

[up] And since when was that part of the stakes?

He got to try out both classes against both classes, (I suspect it was due to the teachers allowing him an opportunity to find which class he felt the most comfortable with, which would matter quite a bit once he get in.)

Not to mention that Aizawa did personally trained him, which he would never have done if he didn't believe in Shinsou's potential.

In what context would he not be allowed in to the hero course?

This exercise had no stakes to begin with. Whatever Shinsou chooses will be his choice, A or B, and that's it.

It wasn't like a failure would have cost him a spot or anything...

[up][up]Oh, I see what happened now, okay then.

[up]Though I wouldn't be surprised by it, I don't think the assumption should be that Shinso gets to choose which class he's put into.

#27460: Feb 2nd 2019 at 11:52:42 AM

It’s hard to say how he feels about the two classes at the moment, though the fact that he both won with Class A and was the one who was able to calm down Midoriya during his rampage suggests to me that he’d work best with them.

It was never really a question to me - Horikoshi clearly wants to do stuff with him, ergo, he goes in the class we actually see most of the time.

Random thought - I hope that some point in the future, the League hijacks a TV station or something to make a nationwide address. That’s always a good villain power move, and they still have a teleport Quirk to escape with.

Bonus points if they drop some huge bombshell on the public. Some big secret, maybe, whatever that might be, or hell, maybe that’s how All Might dies.

The current pattern seems to be something serious, then something school related with that might have emotional impact but relatively low stakes, then back to something serious.

I'm curious in which direction the seriousness will take though: directly moving on the League's plans, more pro-hero stuff, Gigantomachia, or back to the whole Todoroki family drama.

#27464: Feb 2nd 2019 at 12:51:51 PM

It’s honestly hard to say at the moment what comes next - I’m going to go out on a limb and guess some sort of field trip that takes a turn for the serious. I don’t think we’re at the point of having an arc that’s just whams the whole way through, though.

I wouldn’t expect my televised address idea, if it does indeed happen (and it’s hardly an uncommon trope, so I think it actually had a decent chance) to come true right now - I’d guess it’d fit the Act 2 finale, as you might call it. I could be wrong, of course.

That doesn't sound like a Shigaraki move at all. He's trying to become the new lord of the criminal underworld, not a "supervillain".

Something I am really interested in is getting back to the internships. I know a lot of people assume Izuku is going to find another agency (likely one of the Top 10's) but I actually expect he'll continue as he was at Nighteye's old agency, currently being run by his sidekicks.

Honestly I'd rather not have a field trip, if only because it would be another variation on "UA plans a thing which goes horribly wrong when villains interfere, which we've seen several times already.

The internships seem like more fertile ground for moving the plot ahead, especially since it would make sense for Deku to try interning with heroes who could help him learn to use his new quirks.

You also have to be careful about that because things are still very tense for U.A.

Though I imagine a tipping point will come eventually, you have to write something like careful so that people aren't questioning why it hasn't come much sooner.

That's something that came up during the Cultural Festival but, he didn't choose to emphasize that over the more personal aspects of getting Eri to smile and everyone working so hard.

Which I get, but still, a little more of "villains breaking into U.A. will put U.A. in a much tougher spot" would have been nice.

Probably going to continue the "Hawks Undercover" subplot alongside Dabi and...most likely not Endeavor, but Tokoyami getting involved perhaps? (Since he's the one interning beneath Hawks, and not to mention that he's gradually catching up with the pro-hero's pace)

He might end up stumbling into matter that he really shouldn't get involved in... especially if Dabi catch wind of "the shadow which stalks the scenery"...

Just putting suggestions out there.

[up][up]Tokoyami won't be apart of anything until they bring the internships back. Even then, Hawks might not be willing to have him with the spy stuff.

Still, neat idea.

Yeah, somehow I think bringing in a student into dangerous undercover work into a supervillain organization is a horrible idea.

This isn't regular Hero work, it's dangerous on entirely different levels.

Well, it wouldn't be like they willingly brought the poor guy into it.

More like "Tokoyami stumbles upon it, tries to eavesdrop using Dark Shadow, gets the wrong idea at first (Hawks...is actually a villain!?), gets conflicted, gets advice from Izuku and the others who notice how troubled he is about it, without knowing the actual reason for the trouble, and then...(let's hope not) "Do a Deku" (aka: "Getting his nose/beak where it doesn't belong" and gets involved with it in a way which ends up in him getting caught in the worst possible moment), which practically railroads Hawks into, to both cover for his cover and Tokoyami's life, accidentally making him the "sleeper agent" and insider on U.A. for the LOV, used to gather info from there. All while Hawks really can't do anything for as long he must maintain his cover or risk exposing himself as an agent and end up endangering Tokoyami's life in the process, rendering the entire operation null."

All while Tokoyami berates himself for getting involved in the first place, in his silence.

This could present a good opportunity to get clues on the actual "traitor" within U.A. ranks, now when I think about it...

That's funny, I thought Horikoshi abandoned the whole UA traitor thing already.

But if that plot point is still relevant then I agree, Tokoyami getting tangled up in the Hawks-being-a-double-agent-stuff would be very interesting.

I wonder how he'd react initially to thinking his idol was a traitor...and then to finding out that he's been sent to spy on the League.

Would allow some nice development and focus on him as a character too.

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

The traitor is still a hanging plot thread but little to nothing has come of it since the Training Camp that I can think of offhand.
