My Hero Academia

I thought they said moving into the dorms took place in late August, and Tenya's birthday is the 22th of August.

Tracking the progression of time is fun, because it's been consistent without giving specific dates. At this point in time, everyone in the class should be 16 except Ochaco, Shoto, Koji, Tsuyu, and Mezo, in order of upcoming birthdays.

Well, yeah, but it establishes that they were in the dorms by August 22.

Heart of Stone

But you said it gives a "slight hint" when the move took place, and my point was they said when it took place. Not the exact date, but a pretty narrow window of time.

The second pic gave me a twinge of sadness, because All Might is holding a cup of water because he can't drink because he doesn't have a liver anymore. Even retired, he can't really enjoy himself to the fullest.

So assuming that he wasn't one of the recommended students, how do you think Kosei Tsuburaba (Solid Air guy in Class B) passed the exam?

I've been thinking maybe something like blowing air between the robots' weak points or something, but that seems kind of farfetched to me.

Izuku mentioned that the robots aren't that nimble, and once they've locked on and are charging you they can't really change direction. I think he could make a solid air wall horizontally and basically taunt robots into bisecting themselves.

He Quirk turns the air he exhales solid, nowhere does it say that all he can do with it is make barriers.

Heart of Stone

Just be careful about treating a theory, however likely, as fact until it's confirmed.

There's nothing I can think of that flat out says that's All For One's plan beyond one line to Best Jeanist about how his quirk is a poor fit for Tomura.

Personally I think it's more likely that the only quirk All For One can't transfer is All For One itself. It provides a better, in my opinion, foil to the quirk that can be freely given and also fits as a Personality Power in that the man who loves to hoard power couldn't get rid of the one that lets him do it even if he wanted to.

Still, there's nothing in-series to suggest that's any more likely, either.

Well, his name (character for "circle" in it and the description (making platforms and walls) imply it. Probably because the air expands before it solidifies.

I get what your saying but in this case we know that putting too many Quirks in someone risks turning them mindless (ala Nomus) so if he's intend on giving him a lot of them he probably has a reason to think he can prevent that from happening. Then there's the whole thing about "turning him into the next me".

And perhaps most importantly, while there might be some thematic weight to what you said, it just strikes me as far less interesting and a waste of a Quirk like AFO. Though that is admittedly just personal preference. I feel like that would be a pretty common thought though.

The easiest way would probably be for Solid Air Guy to make the robots trip by hardening the air under their feet, though that could also be pretty dangerous with all the students runnging around them.

The key word there is still "if". We don't don't actually know what All For One's final goal actually is beyond "mess up society". "The next me" could just as easily be meant figuratively as it is literally. Though it could go either way and literally probably has higher odds when All For One's longevity is considered.

Wait where are those pictures from?

And huh right All Might got his liver blown up so he shouldn’t be able to drink anymore.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

He Plus Ultraed beyond the need for a liver.

One Strip! One Strip!

Caught up with Vigilantes again. Interesting that in this series Aizawa hasn't even seriously considered becoming a teacher yet. We know he apparently expelled the entire last year class, so he has been a teacher for at least two years now. Vigilantes is much more behind in the timeline than I thought.

Technically, with his liver down, he should be dead, but in this kind of series the rules of biology are constantly slaughtered

Speaking of the robot test, I wonder how some students passed. Just to say, it was recognized in-universe that the test is flawed given that some quirks (like Shunsui's) cannot be judged through the test, but then how could Kouda, Hagakure or class-b students with the baloon head have passed the exam? I mean, probably thanks to heroic points, but otherwise I don't see how their quirk could be useful against the robots, given that this series has much less Charles Atlas Superpower than most action shonen? (and I doubt Kouda could have brought with him an elephant or something similar) In a nutshell, I think Shunsui's quirk was as much disvantaged as those I've listed, the only difference it's that it looks like a less heroic power.

P.s. It's a just Fridge Logic moment, I'm glad Class A has Hagakure and especially Kouda

Edit: Thanks for the explanation :)

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

Should we expect a chapter tomorrow? Or Fridays as usual?

Uni cat

I think friday

Last week it came out one day earlier

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

IIRC the robots had some exposed circuits Kouda could make birds snap. Hagakure could also snap them by sneaking, depending on how the robots detect people.

That and Hagakure's not-completely-explained-yet quirk might have more combat-oriented uses.

I'm guessing he still has at least part of his liver, it's just damaged to the point that drinking alcohol would put too much strain on it.

I just have to say the character's name is Shinso, Shunsui. Secondly, other people have pointed out Hagakure and Koda, but I don't even know why you'd mention Manga Fukidashi (balloon head guy) since we have no idea what he can even do.

You wouldn't need Charles Atlas Strength. The robots were stated and shown to not be that tough. Of note specifically for Shinso is that it wasn't just that his Quirk didn't match, but also that he's also not as in good shape as most of the students that did pass.

I mean, yes? The plot-line about a student who wants to become a hero but has had people insinuating he'd be better as villain works better with a more "villainous" power; it still doesn't change the others had potentially more ways to pass with their powers than he did.

@sgamer82

I mean, All For One made his intetion to collect powers for Tomura clear. There's no if there. That was just for speculating on the rest which, as you mention is less certain, but I think based on what we've been told leans in one direction more than the other.

@danime91

I can't help but think if that were a thing, it would have been alluded to already.

Edited by LSBK on Jul 18th 2018 at 5:37:52 AM

Thanks for correcting the name, don't know why I rememberd him as Shunsui. I mentioned Manga Fukidashi (wow, do you remember all these names?) because I remember his quirk being simply having a baloon as a head, then I checked the wiki and it might be something more, but atm it looked just a baloon head and didn't seem nothing special.

Thanks for the good explanation. I guess I really need to reread this manga, there's too much stuff that I don't remember (and it's not such a complex story... yet...)

Yes, I get that he had this mini-plot-line about wanting to be a hero despite his "villainous" power, but technically, I've seen characters having as much useless powers against the robots, but again, it was just a minor moment of Fridge Logic, not a major complaint

I find it easy to remember all of Class A's and B's names because I'm interested in learning about all of them for the most part, which is rare for me when a story involves a school.

As for Manga, yeah, he has a speech balloon for his head, but that doesn't mean that's all there is to his Quirk. Tokoyami with his bird head should make that obvious.

Edited by LSBK on Jul 18th 2018 at 6:18:28 AM

Yeah, I immediately thought of Tokoyami (which, if we consider Ojiro's tail as a quirk, Tokoyami basically has two quirks: bird head and living shadow). I too try to remember the names, but the series suffers what I'd call "complex Japanese names" which makes them a bit harder to remember (just like Bleach, for instance) so I don't remember the secondary characters. And before you point out, I know this "problem" of the strange names is more a problem of mine

Speaking of Bleach, I think you might have mixed Shinso up with a Bleach character. That was my first thought when seeing the name your wrote.
