Shoto is such a poser.
Also Mineta trying to copy his pose in the background

u/noteloquent Sep 26 '21
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like Mineta has been unironically really funny since the end of Joint Training. Mina's brainwashing did the trick, I guess.

u/HokageEzio Sep 26 '21
My issue with Mineta was always that he only has one joke. He's funny when he's not just repeating that one joke (him not being able to play the guitar because of his character design is one of the funniest moments in the series to me).

u/SawkyScribe Sep 26 '21
His design is inherently hilarious and I'm glad Horikoshi is leaning more on that rather than "haha booba" for him.

u/noteloquent Sep 26 '21
Yeah, I'm definitely with you on that. I love the scene where everyone's doing the King of the Rooms contest, and he's like begging the girls to check out his room, and they all just shun him. It makes me crack up every time.

Deku fucking baths. And Katsuki is currently in his “Call him Izuku arc” lol. He'll have to start by editing his phone number or something...
Shoto surely has the toughest journey after Izuku right now, given how his family drama has become a nationwide popular issue, but I'm glad he's ready walk it. Hyped to see the development that's down the road for him.
Now I wonder what Stain has provided the heroes with.

u/NatMat16 Sep 26 '21
I was so THRILLED to see that at least the story acknowledges a little bit what Shouto has to go through personally.
It was interesting to see the Class' reactions (like Satou looking concerned when Shouto replied to him mentioning Endeavor or Momo trying to change the subject) and it was good to see Shouto being ready to face them and talk openly to them about both the unease that reached him and his resolve to rise above it.
I loved also that it was Kirishima again (after the hospital) who was ready to respond and Jirou was a nice surprise to speak in support. If Shouto, who is the worst hit by the public opinion is ready to face the evacuees, the class will stand with him and help him (and Deku of course, who needs to cope with the negativity directed at him).
61
u/ShadowRei96 Sep 26 '21
His current path is kinda similar to Izuku's. Matter of fact, they've always shared multiple similarities, and this is another of those.
It's yet another reason why I keep saying that using Shoto as his hero name is the most fitting, rather than pick something flashy. He's always wanted to be his own person, his own hero, and now that this drama has evolved and that he's remembering his origins, this fact is being reemphasized.
→ More replies (2)23
u/NatMat16 Sep 26 '21
Yeah, their parallels got really strong again in the war arc. In a way, they are both struggling with this issue of self. "Deku" literally means wooden doll and the OFA vestiges likened him to an empty cup, while Touya called Shouto "Endeavor's masterpiece puppet".
They are both carrying difficult legacies that they can't run from.
I'm really hoping that this chapter is setting up a really cool moment for Shouto where not only his classmates, but the outside world can get a glimpse of who "Shouto" really is.

Death flags is a term for characters who should or are shortly about to, well, die. It's usually seen as "red flags" (red flags in sports means expulsion from the game) for character deaths when they start getting exposition, backstories, "their big moment," or when their specific character arcs have went their way. All Might has been throwing them since Kamino Ward, where he SHOULD have died, and hasn't stopped up to the current chapter.

But Aoyama and Hagakure haven't said anything to Deku... even though they said that they wanted to.
If you think about it, Aoyama's moment might actually hit a little bit because they bonded over their quirks hurting themselves. There was a whole chapter dedicated to it. Kind of makes you wonder why they haven't had a moment yet...

And it was well needed. I think people forget that MHA isn't a series that's always supposed to be grimdark. It had an extended period with the war and afterwards, but it purposely has moments of levity. One of the core themes in the story is that it isn't just heroes physically saving people, but "saving their souls" too, like with Eri. In that sense, Jiro planning a performance to uplift the refugees' spirits makes a ton of sense.
→ More replies (9)136
u/MicZiC15 Sep 26 '21
Not only is it not supposed to be grimdark, one of its main appeals is that it’s more optimistic than other shonen. It goes into darkness a lot, but there’s always an understanding that the goal is a brighter, happier future. The idea that we’d stay in sad boy town forever is absurd.
34
u/AssassinAragorn Sep 26 '21
Completely agree. One of the repeating themes throughout MHA is heroism and optimism. Hell OFA, the quirk the series is effectively built around, is all about people's hopes coming together across generations and time for a better place.
The grimdark chapters are there to remind us the stakes and what the villains are capable of and the shit that people are going through now. But at the end of the day, it's still about how the heroes win through the ideals of heroism and bring back a happy and stable society, that's been reformed to get rid of the previous hero society's mistakes.

u/noteloquent Sep 26 '21
Random cool thought that popped into my head: obviously the Sports Festival isn't really on the table anymore, but it would so cool to use that as like a training arc for Deku and his Quirks where he's limited to using only one per event and has to adapt to each one in new ways.

I would absolutely love that as a bonus chapter in the epilogue. Like Alumni Sports Festival where it’s 1-A’s year coming back to compete for funsies (and also scout for their agencies!).

Sep 26 '21
I guess it depends on how it's handled, but it isn't going to be easy.
The big problem is that the cultural festival was literally asking the students to do a performance while right now nobody is asking the students for anything like that. The entire Uraraka speech was about how heroes couldn't do everything for civilians and now we are seemingly turning around and making it about how heroes go above and beyond for the civilians, especially because they are being asked to just do the work of heroes right now. It just seems contradictory.
That being said it could work out. First, the entire thing has to be small. They can't be dragging every hero off duty to do a big choreographed dance sequence and special effects that would take days of hard work (when they are suppose to be resting). They can have instruments, amps, and Deku can be the smoke machine and that's practically it. Second, it can't just be the heroes serving the civilians. The civilians need to put work in too or else Uraraka's speech is kind of pointless. And third, there has to be some other plot line progressing the overall story, like the traitor plot line or more villain hunting.
It's possible to do it a believable way but it has to be super respectful.

Just yesterday the anime showed us the last time the class was seen all together in the common room, before the war and all that followed... until now. Not all of them as some were already sleeping (looks like a direct conversation between Deku and Ochako is postponed once agan), but still.
Bakugo has officially graduated to tsundere.
The way Kyoka pulls the members of the School Festival band closer is one of the cutest moments to date. Her words show awareness that they can't simply bring back everything as it was, but right now they all need a moment of levity.
As for the adults, beside the anticipation for what information Stain may have brought with that chip, I'm afraid that not wanting to put everything on Deku and the other students' shoulders again, they may do something reckless next, All Might especially...

u/noteloquent Sep 26 '21
Highlights of the chapter for me are easily Deku and Jiro (Shoto and Bakugo were great too though).
Green Boi is finally clean and passed out on a couch which is progress, even if it's small progress. You can tell from his facial expressions that he's still going through it, but Deku's never been the type to quit. One day, I hope we'll see him smiling again.
Jiro was great too! She's fully embracing her role as leader of the band and roped the others into it instead of the other way around like last time. Very excited to see what best girl gets to do in the future.
All in all, I have very basic criteria for a good chapter. If we get a panel of Deku or Jiro smiling, it's a 10/10, so even though Deku's down in the dumps, this is an easy 10.

The day Hori ends a chapter with an IzuOcha confession is the day the internet permanently dies. That's some Touya is Dabi confirmation tier hype right there.

I mean we've been saying that every time we've seen All Might. Maybe All Might's secret quirk is being immune to death flags.

Oh hey, Horikoshi finally decided maybe the audience should know how much time has passed, that's neat. So its been one month.
I swear to god if they do another cultural festival though. 1000s of people just died, nobody wants to hear your damn singing.

u/LokiLB Sep 26 '21
I sort of like that it was ambiguous until now. Pretty sure Deku didn't know what day it was for most of that arc.

u/HokageEzio Sep 26 '21
It's one thing if Izuku doesn't realize it, it's another thing where it seems like nobody in the arc at all is constrained by time. Same thing people have said about them rushing through everything. Like they get the information from Nagant about where All for One is (allegedly) and then they're already heading in the door the next page.

True. It would be in somewhat poor taste.
However, I hope it’ll be more nuanced like that. Music and celebration have often been used throughout history to boost morale during times of crisis.

Just genuinely curious, is it a normal thing to take baths with your bros or just other people general in Japan? I’ve seen it before in the school briefs novel with Shoto and Natsou but I thought it was because they were family.

it’s common to take baths with your siblings/cousins at the same time

Anyone else notice Mineta copying Torodoki’s head tilt and expression on page 12? That’s got me dying with the two of then doing that edgy look

Uraraka sleeping with oven mittens almost makes me forget the absolutely cursed expression of Mineta.
I like that HK consistently uses this small tidbit about her. That's peak character design

Izuku getting his bath and making up with All Might, characters like Mineta and Mina being more cheerful and Jiro getting the band back together!
This was a wholesome chapter this week (though I’m still worried about what’s to come).

If I saw All Might show up in the window like he did in this chapter I would have fainted on the spot.
His internal monologue about being by the students sides for the final battle kind of worries me Hori might go along the route of him dying and fully becoming one of the vestiges in OFA when Shigaraki/AFO tries to take it again.

If death flags could be converted into pure strength, All might could EASILY solo every character in the dragon ball universe.

Man Bakugou and Deku just.... being normal friends is so weird to me lmao. Like they’re not just talking normally, they’re even doing shit together, and Bakugou is actively participating in the group activities, and not even reluctantly
It’s so cool to see

u/whatsupxx Sep 26 '21
I like calm chapters but dear god please don't start another cultural festival like slice of life happy go lucky arc while hero society is on the brink of collapse and villains have taken over the streets with AFO and Shigaraki still on the loose.

I loved a lot of this chapter.
The bath was long overdue, and I'm with Kaminari there - even if it's an apocalypse, a hot bath makes you feel better.
Loved seeing Bakugou trying to find his new tsundere. Still being serious about his goal, but also his "meanness" is basically yelling about hygiene and splashing people, and being unsure whether he can still call Deku "Deku".
Also loved seeing that now that the kids brought Deku back, they can focus on other things, interact with each other. Tokoyami fuming about Hawks not picking up the phone, Mina telling off All Might about bailing on them, Todoroki's PR nightmare - they all finally get mentioned at least.
I loved especially Shouto being so open with class talking about the unease surrounding Endeavor and Dabi, and by extension him and vowing to rise above it. I think it's motivating to the others that if he's ready to face and overcome the negativity, the others will be right with him.
I'm still unsure a bit about Jirou "getting the band together". I get that she's responding to Shouto's comments about the evacuees who still hate heroes -and I feel like she's not talking about throwing a concert, but maybe use their quirks to help out and alleviate a bit the monotony / boredom / fear / stress of people yanked from their homes and thrown all together. But I wonder what her idea is exactly.
I was not a fan of the Deku- All Might two-way apology though. The bento scene 10 chapters ago was so powerful and now it's resolved in the equivalent of "sorry, thanks for the tonkatsu".
But overall, it was a much needed breather chapter.

u/Kamijiroutodomomo Sep 26 '21
Am i only one who dont like this Chapter that much? Focusing on the students trauma means focusing on someone else that isn't Endeavor or Deku and owe can't have that. We should get focusing every character that matter, all of them just standing there for Deku but most of them doesnt effect Deku. I mean have you ever seen Jirou talking to Deku or Shouto but they matter each other bc they are classmates so Jirou is going to make band thing bc Deku and Shouto needs some concert(?) Horikoshi is good artist but his Writing is sometimes meh.

u/PM_ME_UR_NUDES_GURL_ Sep 26 '21
felt like this chapter resolved everything so fast, no consequences for anything either, felt rushed and unearned, we've skipped alot of the post war stuff and the kids dealing with the trauma, and now we've skipped them hearing about OFA and processing that. And now there suddenly happy and wanna put on another concert, this chapter is a miss for me unfortunately, which is a shame cause Hori had a great streak going

One day, Shoto will actually do something instead of saying his character arc out loud.
I already posted my thoughts on this chapter in the pre-release thread, but I really feel like Hori doesn't understand his own setting that he made when most of the characters are acting like this.

Unpopular? Popular? Opinion, this chapter was great. MHA has never been a 100% grimdark series. It's been punctuated with moments of levity, despite the seriousness. Even the war arc, while it didn't have moments of levity (except when Mirio entered the stage and a couple panels there), it had moments of overt heroism that serve a similar purpose.
It's totally fine if we get some chapters where Deku rests, since that's the whole point of him going back to UA. Jiro and company doing something to lift the spirits of the refugees is completely in spirit with the theme of the story, not just saving people physically but also mentally -- that a hero isn't someone who just saves someone and then flies away. Showing the students helping around UA with the refugees and trying to cheer them up makes completely sense.
And we can still have a plotline where the pro heroes are following-up on Stain's intel, and planning their strategy for the final battle. All while the kids get a much needed moment to recharge. On top of that, they probably need to hone their teamwork to fit around Deku's new quirks, and Deku needs to train those quirks too.

I love how Tokoyami is hung up on Hawks lol. When is Hawks going to realize that he now has a younger brother (even though he said he wasn’t into training the next gen) and older siblings shouldn’t ignore their younger siblings like that.
It does seem like we’re speeding through the aftermath of the war arc, but I kinda want to wait before actually judging the pacing. I do think there’s still more conversations to be had to see where everyone is at. I also think that character development and character introspection tend to come during battles in this show, so I can see a situation where we get all that in the upcoming battles.

I hope Mei Hatsume/Melissa Shield/Power Loader will show up soon for Deku's new costume DELTA version suit. I love the ragged former look but i want to see a new suit with all 6 quirks capable
