My Hero Academia General Discussion Thread #18

[57Dev]

Just like most villains, All For One would have won if not for his stupidity and the plot armor of the heroes, by that mean literally everyone on the hero side.

It's kinda infuriating how much the story tries to ramp up it's stakes only to slam against the plot armor of the heroes. Dabi has the worst one.

Literally burned the flaming sidekicks alive, they are all fine. If a story can't even kill background characters, then there is 0 threat to side characters.

That's why the first war was better

 

[Ultimate_Invader_Pendulum]

I'm 90% convinced that it was All For One's space manipulation Quirk that ripped out All Might's guts.

Why are we so sure that this was spatial manipulation instead of just telekinesis?

How does that look like telekinesis to you

wait, so that's it ? Vibes ?

And yes, what afo does seems like telekinesis

All For One already has an entirely different telekinesis quirk. The current quirk hes using makes a spatial distortion effect.

 

[Kingofwolves999]

Also the fact that we’ve seen this quirk before by one of the Near High Ends who even does the same hand motion when it takes off Mirko’s arm, it just clearly was using it in an inferior manner because it was still waking up.

 

[CastoriceTheFifth]

Yall remember when Deku had the Post Final War key that had like nothing new in it

 

[Anonymous_Learner]

Doesn’t he already scale? He ripped his guts out. All Might wasn’t ’off guard’ he was ENRAGED, it’s not like he’d drop to a lower percentage.

sadly no, even I feel off vibes that the main villain who's prime has been hyped up for so long get to be top four in ap yet having a drastic difference in scaling (a little less than 60x AP and Dura) than the top 3 is insane, especially when, while All for one felt Deku going after him as he tries to get tomura would be an interference, he still was willing to go over there to Tomura himself and i'm pretty sure he'd say it be a death sentence if the gap between AP and speed is really that high

I'm 90% convinced that it was All For One's space manipulation Quirk that ripped out All Might's guts.

Ah yes, the quirk basically never uses (used it to kill his brother back in him prime and, possibly due to how devistated he was by the act, seemingly never uses it again beside that one time he flex on hawks but never uses it again, even when he has all his quirks with that big mode), even when enraged, despite it's usefulness.
Spacial manipulation would've been real useful here when bakugo's literally right in front of him posing, monologuing, and giving him enough time to register a flashback and twitch. all AFO had to do was turn his hand and bakugo cosplays gojo

 

[Therefir]

Bakugo was too fast for AFO anyway.

 

[Spinoirr]

Guys, Mr Frog is Solar System level



Small Planet Level deku ain't safe

 

[Oreo166]

Star aim dodged in my eyes. I do not accept the anime or any information from that.

This is just my view of it. Others can freely think otherwise I just don’t care.

I mean, the anime literally shows her and the jets moving after the blast was fired. And the anime has been long considered canon anyways, so I don’t see how any of it oughta be denied.

But in the end, it’s your opinion tho.

slow enough for his eye to twitch and his brain to not only process his words but also have a flashback after processing that then have his eye twitch before getting hit

 

[TheRustyOne]

AFO can one shot Bakugo with any attack. AFO one shotted Gigantomachia, who is vastly more durable than Bakugo.

Bakugo was just too fast for him. Mental conversations or flashbacks don't mean anything. Character in fictions have entire life flashbacks in the time it takes for another person to hit them. Also, my eye can twitch faster than I can do anything else. And moments in manga/anime are exaggerated for dramatic effect.

The intent of their fight was clear. Bakugo was faster than AFO and even outpaced him. AFO knew that he didn't have time to waste with Bakugo. He judged the time he have to spent killing Bakugo would take too long, so he tried to ignore him. AFO's thinking turned to mush when he saw Kudo in Bakugo.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

I like the interpretation that AFO is just dumb and forgot about half of his quirks

 

[AtomicSekiro]

Don’t mess with Reddit MHA scalers, they don’t accept Rewind AFO is stronger than Prime AFO, despite the numerous statements and visual showings of him getting stronger.

Do you think All Might could get Danmaku for his Royale Smash (i.e., 300 punches against the Nomu) if I can prove every hit would've produced a projectile shockwave?

I don’t even think Deku’s profile got Danmaku for this

 

[Nullflowerblush]

that seems like blatant danmaku

 

[1000TonsofFun]

Next episode is looking STACKED. Potential to be series best (animation wise)

 

[57Dev]

I don’t even think Deku’s profile got Danmaku for this

I said this quirk is a tool of justice. Not used in anger, not drawn in vengeance. But now, I am not so sure. Besides, this isn't my quirk.

 

[57Dev]

That staff list is... Boy. And that's the Bakugo fight, now imagine Shiggy vs Deku.

1 year earlier I speculated it that they will ramp up quality significantly and it will be one of, if not the best animated show of the year in terms of animation. I was right.

I was also right about one punch man, I really do feel bad for the animators given minimum resources and time on a project for the most atrocious anime fandom ever to live.

Ultra Age's entry for the Texas Smash says "full-force" punching motions produce powerful shockwaves, and the Detroit Smash entry says concentrating the power of One For All within the arm enables "physical blows and shockwave of explosive power"; and the shockwaves generated by All Might and Deku's techniques have tens of kilometers of attack range. Even official media like Ultra Rumble (Texas Smash Gatling) supports the idea All Might's shockwaves can be used as rapid-fire, Danmaku-style projectile attacks.

You dont really need allat since we have Deku doing the Danmaku in 4K. Both of them would need it on their profile though.

 

[Metalballrun]

IIRC. all usage of the space warp Quirk were towards slower characters (Yoici Shigaraki) or characters who were caught off guard and were momentarily unable to move (Hawks and Mirko). It tracks with AFO needing to distract All Might with mind games in order to hit him with it.

But as long as we don't get that full fight (which we likely never ever will) then this simply remains as a highly probable theory.

Based on the trailers, Deku vs Shiggy already looks peak

The final run to punch AFO Shiggy will probably be the most overanimated shit ever

 

[Kingofwolves999]

I am praying with all I have they keep this energy going for Bakugo’s ACTUAL fight against AFO, and for Deku vs Shiggy up to the Final Punch.

Because dear lord would I hate for Bones to put god tier talent into Bakugo saving All Might and then everything else goes back to being not even close to the same quality. They tend to do that shit where they allocate hella effort into one scene that isn’t even the main one and then nothing into everything else that is just as or even more important.

I feel that.

Iida getting Nakumura animation but Endeavour vs AFO was mostly alright. I guess the staff was still finishing the movie at the time.

But this season has kept consistent high quality for two episodes (well one and a half) I have faith in Bones

 

[JoeDM021]

god bakugo vs afo is finna look peak as hell

MHA fans finally gonna eat smth even more good this year! we getting one piece quality with this one!

This does look like Danmaku, a very simple and one-directional Danmaku, but it meets the requirements.

If it gets added. Use this video instead fr lol

I don’t even think Deku’s profile got Danmaku for this

There’s a translated Ultra Age?

Hi there, guy from the Sonic side of VSBW here! I dabble in MHA vs scenarios on occasions (I’ve seen some… atrocities over on Reddit, and I’m about to present another), and I wanted to know how I did here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerScaling/s/9NHrSZvcaj

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

"Deca-"

 

[57Dev]

Reddit doesn't do speed equalization. So you have two Hypersonic characters, and a MHS character against rel+ to ftl character.

Plus they can't damage as is, any dura neg attack would be regenerated

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

When it's a speed diff, I know Kashimo's Electromagnetic Waves scaling got JJK

I was more so referring to bringing up Shiggy’s ways around their abilities (Gojo and Makima), I know Shiggy mega shit stomps them in terms of stats

 

[MugenKage]

Speaking of, I mentioned Shiggy’s reaction evolution being a possible safeguard against Unlimited Void, does that hold up or is it too much of a headcanon to assume it would?
