My Hero Academia

Checking back at ch 238 especially and the other chapters with several MLA-leaders standing besides each other, Geten is probably the shortest of the group from what I can tell. That doesn't need to mean anything and the art isn't always clear, but it is a point towards they being either female or younger than the rest (or both), as characters in manga are rarely a specific height without reason.

I think a rule of thumb is a full page-two of posts.

@LSBK: I was being slightly facetious, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

As for Geten, we didn't really get a good shot at their figure, since they're still in that huge winter coat.

I mean, Yaomomo being 1.73 m is already beyond a "anime girl average" and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it beyond Horikoshi wanting to mix it up a little. She's in fact a tallest woman in the series so far, which is doubly amusing since all others around the 1.7m tend to be well into adulthood.

EDIT: Yaomomo is actually two centimeters shorter than Midnight, but one's 15-16 and the other's in her early 30's.

I think the convention for spoilers was first five odd posts after the chapters release or after the page turned, whichever came first.

Shigaraki with the proper villain look now.

I see, thank you all for telling me about this.

Regarding Geten, this ambiguity haven't stopped the fandom from already making moves with them towards Dabi (seriously, I've seen shipping fics of the two (FemGet x Dabi) alongside fanart of them together bloom up like dandelions ever since the chapter came out. The fanfic writers are having a field day with this revelation of Geten's face in the open.)

Fandom is a fearsome force when it knows what it wants and got the motivation to reach out for it by its own hands...

I've been imaging Geten as a teenager ever since the comment about not going to school.

I kinda imagined Geten would be this kind of Naruto figure. The tiny brat who thinks he's hot stuff.

So yea, this chapter was a surprise

So... Twice got the "Alien Hand Syndrome" now?

This can open up for some very amusing...and disturbing, new sets of antics coming from him.

Yep… Seems like he jumped out of his frypan, but into the fire.

Kinda funny how Re Destro seems happier serving Shigaraki than running an organization.

Tho, shouldn't that nerf his power?

He's still a CEO with a pretty dark secret. He'll recharge in time.

He probably doesn't plan on returning to the frontline anyway.

But he's listed among the 9 generals?

Honestly, I'll hold off saying what gender Geten is, but I really think they're a girl. It's the lashes for me.

I do enjoy this androginous character design.

I would say its more likely they are a gal too but I would not surprised if they are the most bishie of guys.

Being pretty short and having long eyelashes isn't common with guys but it still happens.

Remember, Re-Destro is a master of Tranquil Fury.

Him acting as a sycophant might actually be his way of "powering up"(Aka "Getting REALLY pissed off") in order to stockpiling his stress up at a faster pace than before and is just hiding it under a cherry smile in order to completely "explode" (with a "Stress Nuke" in order to match the destruction "Decay" caused when witnessed by him.) in order to feel the same "freedom" as Shiggy felt when releasing "his" quirk without restraint when the situation calls for it.

If the Re-Destro we saw was him "restrained", then imagine what he would be like "awakened"/"liberated" in a fight...

This is just a guess though.

His internal monologue when he was losing the fight leads me to believe that this is all sincere

I know this is manga, but generals don't need to be in the frontline, specially when they're on a wheelchair.

Also there's a clear reason Momo is so tall: To make her stand out even more. Everything about her is designed to be notably above average. She's super smart, super rich, super hot and has a super-powerful quirk, so it's fitting that she's also super tall.

As said, it was just a guess.

Now for the next arc...

Tokoyami-focused?

It's crazy to think that it's been a year since the start of Joint Training Arc.

Two arcs a year isnt bad, but there has been quite the number of week-long breaks this year.

Vigilante is out.

Also, Midnight is the reason for the limited exposure law. Not surprising, but I thought better of her.

Wasn't that already established in that one side bit where Mineta watched Midnight and Mt. Lady (?) get into a fight on a talk show?

Forgot about that actually, thanks for reminding me.

There haven't been that many breaks, but the chapters have certainly become shorter.
