Eeehhh, I'll consider it. I honestly want something different from the typical Shonen mold and Chainsaw Man, so I'll probably focus on that.

As in, you want different from the usual Shonen mold that isn't Chainsaw Man, or that you're gonna check out Chainsaw Man because it is different from the usual Shonen mold?

My brain farted. The latter. I just started it.

[up][up] Perhaps that's too harsh of me, but the bottom line is, she doesn't really get a chance to be fleshed out besides what her relationship to Deku is. Obviously he's going to be a big part of her life, and Rebel pointed out that characters like Iida and Todoroki are just as defined by their relationship to Deku.

But the difference as also pointed out is that those characters have dynamics besides the ones they have with Deku that get a ton of focus.

Well, I did say it wasn't perfect. I go back and forth with how okay I am with specific things.

I think saying the series is "okay, but could be a lot better" with regards to female characters is true. Which leaves me wincing when people try and ignore the obvious issues, but also finding myself needing to point out when I think people are ignoring actual nuances and just straight up misrepresenting what's going on.

I mean, you can't really expect everyone to appreciate every single nuance in this series; some are simply are not as engaged with it as others.

That doesn't really change what I'm saying, but okay.

Anyway, it's been awhile since Izuku really messed up his body. Can anyone tell how that Wyoming Smash worked, because it's kind of unclear to me.

From the way it looked like, Deku just slammed his forearm down on Shiggy Jr's mouth.

He prolly could have bitten Deku’s arm off then.

Can't really bite if your jaw is in pieces.

A page late for this tangent, but thankfully Azami’s defeat feels like a complete finale for the series, so I don’t need to know where Shokugeki drops after that.

I will say this: I never got into Black Clover, but at some point in having it on in the background while I waited for other Toonami shows to come on, Asta went from an insufferable idiot to a mildly entertaining idiot.

I remember him fucking up his arms somehow and then more or less immediately deciding he was going to fight by swinging his sword in his teeth or something.

Hey, if you're gonna rip-off other action manga protagonists, you can do a lot worse than Guts.

So I just had a thought: do you guys think Horokishi will do some deep dives and start doing homages to famous marvel and dc covers:

Like there's the classic Death of Supergirl cover from Crisis, or the classic cover from Spider Man Vol 1 Issue 33, the Final Chapter, aka ''If this be my destiny''.

This cover from the fourth issue of Infinity War would work well with Shigaraki (hey, I spelled it right this time! Yay!) in place of Thanos.

Xmen Issue 100 has been parodied a few times I believe.

And the final idea, and the reason I wrote this post: the cover for Issue 276 of the Avengers, from the Under Siege arc.

If the villains win, we need to save that one for when the heroes make their comeback....not to be confused with Heroes comeback.

League of Villains—beware! They're not students of UA for nothing!cool

All of this might be asking too much, but lets do it anyway. Anyone got some covers they they'd like to see get some shout outs or homages?

So, what's your favorite ongoing plot thread right now? I don't just mean with this specific arc, I mean in general like: the future Quirks, the Todoroki family drama, who is the spy, etc.

Not exactly an ongoing plot-line but I am waiting to see Shigaraki develop respect or maybe a sense of rivalry with Deku. Right now Shigaraki is so up there that thinks about the heroes as flies but the time will come where he will see that Deku is his arch-enemy. I want to see that thing.

Shigaraki's development was what got me hooked in the manga since AFO's first voice-in-the-computer only appearance, and now that's this plot thread is in a peak, I really can't pick anything else.

At the top of my list is Bakugo's hero name.

Before I asked what, if any, Star Wars references where in those cities names, and the official English translator happened to compilepossible references.

He also makes the point that the focus on how so many Heroes were called away might be indicating that there is basically no one to defend or help evacuate people. Regardless of how this ends, that alone will probably make this a P.R. nightmare for all Heroes.

Yeah, if there's any event that's going to single-handedly make society lose trust in heroes, this is probably it.

Shiggy is the character I like seeing the most in this manga, so I'm curious how Hori will handle him. I hope it'll be nuanced and not just "I'm going to become good because friendship" or "I'm going to die and redeem myself that way".

Definitely the character arc of Endeavor, there's a reckoning coming and I can't wait to see it.

I too am very interested in how Endeavor’s story is gonna end especially as it pertains to Dabi.

I'm happy Endeavor's redemption story hasn't been a train wreck, but at the same time I feel like the fact that e v e r y o n e thought it would be before it actually happened is... telling about how most battle shonen redemption arcs go.

HailMuffins Since: May, 2016 Relationship Status: Shipping fictional characters
#46225: Sep 2nd 2020 at 10:36:39 AM

I don't think it has much to do with redemption arcs in Shonen as much as it has to do with the nature of Endeavor's crimes.

And redemption arcs in general are getting a backlash everywhere, I have my own pet theories as to why that I won't share for being potentially inflammatory.
