My Hero Academia

Yeah, it's a fighting style that originated from Japanese pro wrestling. The shoot part is wrestling lingo for an unscripted action in a match.

Huh, neat. Thanks.

Huh well that’s interesting.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Even if Uraraka did make herself but not her clothes weightless, it wouldn't really make her go that much faster, since the first step she takes would have enough energy to send her into the air. She'd have to be really careful to specifically launch herself forward.

Then again, her quirk doesn't seem to have so much to do with gravity; if that was all it was the stunt with the pillar would never have worked. Even if it were weightless it would still have way too much mass to swing like that. And if it was massless the air resistance would still slow it down substantially (imagine trying to swing a ginormous fan at that speed), and it wouldn't be able to impart much energy to the chunks she hit with it.

The only way to explain it is that her quirk is capable of manipulating the inertia of objects somehow, which could be tremendously powerful if she figured out how to apply it properly.

I just sort of take it as a given that all of these powers have some liberties taken to make them useful/cool. That or Horikoshi legitimately doesn't know how it would really work, and that wouldn't matter because most people wouldn't think too deeply about it either.

Uraraka's power is an Achievement In Ignorance and if she ever learns physics she'll suffer The Centipede's Dilemma

I honestly assumed that the Shoot was in reference to some soccer thing.

Huh, does the League and by extension Dabi know what really happened against Stain, or do they think that Endeavor was the one who took Stain down?

Because Endeavor's son or not, Dabi being a Stain fanboy, that could be interesting.

I can imagine AFO & Kurogiri convinced Tomura to keep his big mouth shut on the whole Stain debacle.

No reason why they should tell the Stain fanatics that Stain was never an actual member of the League in the first place. It’s just good sense.

Though it would be fun to see what would happen if the truth ever got out.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Does Tomura know Stain wasn't beaten by Endeavor? Obviously, he knows Stain wasn't actually working for the League, and and to know that Deku was involved, since the League knows he acknowledged Deku as a worthy hero. But beyond that, would there be any reason for them to doing Endeavor bested him?

Is Mineta trying to do what I think he's trying to do?

Disgusted, but not surprised

probably

Heart of Stone

it appears to be so. unless there's a remote control hidden off panel.

Good on Shoji stopping him.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

So Tokoyami has grand spooky chair just for ghost stories?

Or you know, just get away because the story is scary.

Creed of the Happy Pessimist:Always expect the worst. Then, when it happens, it was only what you expected. All else is a happy surprise.

As a native Portuguese speaker, my go-to answer is: the English word "shoot" is pronounced the same as the Portuguese word "chute", which means kick. It's probably only accidental Bilingual Bonus but it's something that amused me ever since I saw the "Shoot" in the name of most of Sanji's finishers.

I always thought it was Shoot Style because making a kick attempt on the goal in soccer is called shooting.

I thought it was Shoot Style because most people in this universe are bad at naming things.

If AFO managed to kill All Might during Camino, do you think he would go after Deku himself or leave it to Tomura?

‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

He would leave it to Tomura, definitely. See it as another step in the process of Tomura becoming the next Symbol of Evil. After all, Deku is the last, and Tomura needs to have a good target/archenemy to further his growth as a villain.

Yes, it seems pretty obvious that Deku is going to fight shigaraki. The series is clearlly building a parallel between the two, as one develop as a hero and the other as a villain

Though the fact that AFO is still alive means the author can use him again if he wants.

Oh, well, it's not that I don't believe it, is that I've never thought about it (If AFO said or implied this in the comic, then I'm also an idiot for having missed it)

Edited by fishysaur on Jul 18th 2018 at 12:15:53 PM

There isn't an impossible dream, there are only people who give up

AFO is alive so that he can eventually pass on AFO to Tomura. I still find it weird how many people think that isn't going to happen.

And, yeah, AFO would want Tomura to kill Izuku himself. Hell, AFO wanted Tomura to kill All Might himself, and only tried to do it himself because of the situation.

Edit: Regarding those pictures, they're both nice. You don't usually see that group of students hanging together, and it's nice that an old-timer like All Might can hang-out with (a) younger generation of heroes.

There's also a pic from the same LN showing everyone celebrating Iida's birthday.

Which I suppose gives a slight hint as to when the dorm move took place.
