I guess I'd ask (and I ask this as someone who likes her) why Kendo needs an endgame moment? She has had moments elsewhere, during the training camp and the class joint training. That's more then some Class A students have had.

I see this with every Shonen fanbase; there's one or two supporting characters they fall in love with and then they spend all of their time complaining to the author for "wasting their potential" after their they've served their purpose and the plot moves on without them.
I call it "The Rock Lee effect".

Admittedly I've been pretty fine with it just because I love Horikoshi's characters anyways, but uh...yeah, kind of waiting on Izuku and Ochako's stuff to get focus again.

Halting the story to focus on her is inherently stalling.
But hey, at least you admitted to being biased.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.I have made no effort to hide the fact I am biased, and in fact stated how I'm biased from the very beginning.
spoilers starts with TOGA VS OCHAKO COLOR PAGE!!!!
Chapter 389: Relief and Prayers
The chapter begins with the explosion happening and the cops in the HQ saying that the speed of the temperature's increase has slowed down but this does not mean that they managed to stop the explosion, because the temperature itself has not gone down
We see Rei, Fuyumi and Natsuo using their ice to protect themselves and then it cuts to Dabi's POV. He's looking at Endeavor and thinking "everyone is looking at me. Oh, so that's how it feels... If it was such an easy thing to do, then why didn't it happen sooner?"
Meanwhile Tiger is telling all the heroes to evacuate and we see that Uraraka is still fighting Toga in her Twice form. Tetstutetsu holds Kendo's hand to make her run faster and the Masegaki kids are in the U.A. robots, watching the explosion on a tablet
The reporter who appeared a few chapters ago is flying over the area in her helicopter and filming everything, while remembering Endeavor telling them to watch him. In one of the evacuation camps, the "Can't ya see it?" boy watches everything while praying
Cut to a café in the Philippines to show a woman also starting to pray. One of Masegaki kids says "it's okay, we still have Five Peepee Man" and then it cuts to Shoto and Iida flying through the sky in an ice jet at an insane speed as Shoto activates his Phosphor move. End of chapter
This is feeling so fucking slow.
its another 11 page chapter which probably explains why, but I guess if we gotta get shorter chapters so we dont have horis hand explode every other week...
Just get back to Ochako and Himiko already damn it.
the color page is pretty gay at least.

Philippines...? Who?
Secret Signature- A. More Ship Tease!
- B. The fact Hori is actually drawing attention to them is giving me hope still!

I think the Philippines person is one of Rei's relatives, maybe a sibling, they have white hair too.
Secret SignatureSo she's one of the Himura's? If so, what part of the family? Main branch asshole responsible for selling her? Branch family member that practiced incest? White Sheep of the family?

You finally understand my pain.
Holy shit that last page is gorgeous though.

I feel like even for only 11 pages did shockingly little actually move forward in this one.

Yea, it's definitely star-nvm, it HAS been dragging. It's just way more apparent now with the short page count.
Ironic, we were just complaining about things rushing just a few chapters back.

The Head of the Hydra
Man Hori really should have gotten a couple months break before.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
It will feel far faster if read in volume format I'm certain.
Part of it is hori cutting g to literally any character who ever showed up on panel before to show how they are reacting and in the case of the woman in the Phillipines new characters to show how they are reacting

Reactionary panels, the bane of every Manga.

I don't really understand cutting to a random new person. You have Look Boy, you have the kids of the Remedial Licensing Course. If Horikoshi really needed to cut to another reaction, maybe it should be someone like that lady who spoke up criticizing the heroes when Endeavor, Hawks, and Jeanist were giving their press conference. (If he hasn't had her cameo already)
shes one of the people in one of the coptors
The pussycats are fan favorites too, should they get moments as well?
The idea that every character "deserves" a moment will never make sense to me, as if they're owed something solely for existing within the story and because some people like them.
With that type of logic, literally every character deserves a moment at which point, it becomes meaningless.
I don't even necessarily agree with the amount of focus every other character has gotten, but good for their fanbases I suppose, but it didn't really benefit the story nor feel particularly built up to feel meaningful.
That's how I feel about dedicating more time to "moments". It's nice but I don't really care and would like the plot to progress.
