My Hero Academia

Not Deku.

Most likely the first person she saw who dared go against the social pressure and act as himself that she witnessed...her first "crush".

it's probably just the person who awakened who bloody and beaten up fetish. It's not deku because that guy knows how to tie a tie

Just want to say that I'm really enjoying this arc. I keep hoping that this is just the opening act, and after a little more buildup things will turn into a melee-a-trois with the heroes, though.

The only true DNA test.

Guess the MLA really is an army, in all senses of the word. And also a pretty insane one at that considering they put bombs on their own soldiers.

Speaking of the guy from that second last panel, he might explain some of Toga's crush towards Deku, considering he bears so much of a resemblance to him.

I hope this arc gives us even more of the villains, not just Toga's backstory, it's becoming very interesting so far. And on the hero note I'd like to see Hawks get dragged into it too.

Also, Nice quirk Chitose! She's basically a female Yoshikage Kira in terms of base power!

"Everyone Bites the Dust! Everyone Bites the Dust!"

Her firepower's pretty bad tho

I've kind of lost interest in this arc but that's kind of how I feel in general whenever a series that wasn't dark even takes a little turn towards dark. Its why I dropped RWBY after season 3 happened and I can feel myself dropping MHA until this arc concludes.

How to beat someone who blows everything up?

Hmm ... Wonder what would happen if Toga tried to drink her own blood to use her quirk.

"In dire times, drastic measures are often taken."

She's basically what you get when you nerf Bakugo.

Only in the sense that their powers both involve explosions.

Bakugou's Quirk turns his sweat into a grenade. Chitose's Quirk turns anything she touches into remote-control firecrackers.

Well, she's basically Kira from Jojo, it seems

@Silent Different folks, different strokes… I'm enjoying the shit out of this arc right now.

And yeah, I wondered who Kizuki's power reminded me of for a moment… Of course it was Kira…

I kinda hope Himiko's backstory won't be any kind of Freudian Excuse or other sob story. Just the story of how a psychopath's dark side awakened.

The mask does kind of imply the Toga we know and love was in there the whole time. Something just... unleashed her.

It seems like she was something of a Stepford Smiler who put on a good girl act her whole life while yearning to be something else.

Its mostly that I find the LA a bunch of insufferable and uninteresting twats.

You are aware that this seiries could be pretty dark before right?

Saying it was never dark is just false.

The LA are kind of boring. But that's ok, because that's not the focus of this arc. It's about the League and fleshing them out.

So we got a confirmation that Toga is indeed 17 years old and she just...snapped I guess. Interesting flashback with that Deku looking guy.

Anyone else thinking that Killer Curious is being set up to be Disappointed by the Motive?

Im thinking that myself.

It would be funny if Toga flipped her shit just because.

I don't mid some of them having good reasons, but only a few.

Why assume she "flipped"?

She might have always been this way and just didn't bothered upholding the charade of civility anymore.

So it's not like "flipping", but more like her being "honest" about herself.

"I just stopped pretending."

That for sure would be a disappointing interview with that answer...

I'm willing to bet there's a trigger of some kind in there. A common trend among real life serial killers is that there's something wrong with them, with varying degrees of obviousness, but it doesn't really hit high gear until their first murder, which is often incidental or accidental. Every murder after that becomes an attempt to reattain the feeling of that first one.

If I were to guess, I'd say Toga was a Stepford Smiler getting by until something caused her to lash out and cause a death. Rather than be horrified, she loved the feeling and a serial killer was truly born.

Murder might not be her goal with her lifestyle though.

It seems more like she's trying to "assume the identity" of someone else, rather than kill them. However, with her quirk being what it is, the victim still ends up dying from the massive blood loss ensuring from her desire to be someone else.

The deaths are not intentional, the main objective is "to become someone else". Permanently.

However, once a person dies, there is no more blood to be found from them, hence why she trades up for another person to impersonate and she enters the cycle of a serial-killer.

She seems, to me at least, to be a serial-killer of "consequence" rather than "intent". She's trying her hardest to push her quirk to the point where she, maybe, can become someone else "permanently", however, due to it not being a function of her quirk, or there's not enough blood to test it, she ends up starting over and over before any results can be seen.

She's just a girl who tries to move on from her past self and let it disappear, but unfortunately, thinks the only way to do that is by becoming someone else "literally".

Her quirk might have messed up with her brain in that regard, since it actually gave her the option to pursue that kind of dream with active vigor.

Just a theory from someone that have studied psychology.

That might mark her as what The Last Podcast on the Left calls a "product killer", where the killing is a means to an end rather than the end in itself. Whether she enjoys killing or not, if you're right Toga is primarily after the result (more blood) than anything else.

This is making me want to re-listen to Last Podcast's series on Jeffrey Dahmer.
