My Hero Academia General Discussion Thread #18

My only wish for any further chapters:

I want a scene straight out of a Batman comic. I want Deku to pull up on a gang of villains, maybe even a villain hideout, and just go full Dark Knight on them. I’m talking pulling people into the shadows with Blackwhip, Smokescreen everywhere, ripping objects in half with his bare hands to get to the villains, all while they cower in fear at this hero they were warned about, a beast taking out any villain he sees. A scene like that would be so amazing for where Deku is right now in the story.
 
I gotta pick up this manga again, I left off at Gentle's arc but I wanna pick it up again. Anyone mind getting me up to date with the story?


Also what the **** does Deku's Fa Jin even do? The name is kinda misleading since to my knowledge he isn't hitting someone in the vitals with full force to achieve internal damage on his opponent.

Well, that’s a long story, but if you don’t mind a very brief summary:

After Gentle, they had another training arc that revealed Deku can use the quirks of past users. Pretty standard, very good character moments, etc.

After that is My Villain Academia where the League have their own battle against other villains that want free use of quirks for everyone. There are literally thousands of these people, all hiding throughout society. Tons of brutal death and destruction, especially from Shigaraki, whose backstory and full power is unleashed. He takes control over all of them and Gigantomachia, forming the Paranormal Liberation Front, and then goes under surgery to be All Might tier without quirks and get AFO’s quirk. He’s prepping to destroy society and take One For All.

After that is Endeavor Agency, which is some training with Endeavor that results in better skills for all the students, leading into a 4 month timeskip before the big shit happens: the War

Heroes fight villains. Loads of death. Shigaraki T-poses on everyone, then gets t-posed on by Deku, then some other shit happens like Dabi reveal and a bunch of crazy fights/reveals/development. That arc is bonkers, I can’t put it into words. Shigaraki gets messed up too bad and AFO’s quirk takes over his body and runs away with some Near High-End Nomu. No one wins that particular fight, but villains win long term cause Gigantomachia destroyed like 30 cities by running through them.

Currently though? We’re on the “villain hunt(?)” arc with Deku going with pro heroes and All Might to hunt down AFO and Shigaraki, who destroyed literally dozens of jails, including Tartarus, freeing hundreds of villains into the streets, all of which are now devoid of heroes because they started quitting and dying from the war because of how brutal and devastating it was. Deku is capable of using 45% at all times now and basically all of society knows about One For All, but not who it belongs to.

Essentially: Deku is a cold-blooded, badass, guilt-ridden, multi-quirk using top tier monster that puts pro’s to shame, and is going through mental torture and hell at AFO’s hands. AFO no longer cares about All Might, he wants to break Deku’s spirit through countless battles and moral decisions before stealing One For All and ruling again.

As for Fa Jin, it takes liberties with the actual technique of the name. Fa Jin, the actual technique, uses mastery of kinetic energy/positioning/momentum to make it so small movements are ridiculously devastating, essentially putting full force despite not covering a lot of distance. The quirk basically takes the “momentum/kinetic energy” portion and the “dynamic burst of full force strength” portion and mashes them together, but over time.

Deku’s quirk, Fa Jin, allows him to store kinetic energy from moving, dodging, flexing, anything, and then release that energy in bursts of speed and strength, so much that with proper assistance from Black Whip, he can reach 100% speeds while just being at 45%. It’s a very big amp to his already enhanced strength basically.

Think of it like a Nitro Boost that builds up inside his body.
 
I heard Villain hunting arc and that was enough to catch me. Mind telling me what chapter the War arc starts?


Although what assistance does All Might provide?
 
I don’t think Amajiki counts as quirk evolution; he just got better at using his quirk. Like Kirishima unlocking Unbreakable, or Shoto using fire and ice at the same time, or Deku unlocking Full Cowling.
 
Fa Jin: “Repeated movements build up motion-based energy for temporary storage and release.”

Think of it like Iida’s Recipro Burst, but Deku can use it on any limb he repeatedly flexes or moves.
 
Spoilers for current chapter, translations are out.

Mt Lady got a smexy eye scar. Somehow they all escaped the explosion without any notable damage.
 
I’m imagining a scene where AFO is revealed to be Deku’s father, and Deku says something like, “but my dad’s quirms is to breathe fire!” which AFO responds with “When did I say that was my ONLY quirk?” as he exhales a blast of fire, parelling the USJ Nomu 2nd quirk reveal scene.
 
We may have just gotten a new render for Izuku during this arc, the official version of that last panel should be nice. Also confirmation that Nagant managed to survive, unsure if we're going to see her again outside of the series ending. I'll save any real thoughts until I read the official translation, but this seems really good to me...

I mean it's bad, but good for a story.
 
It’s going to be hard to get a costume change when practically all functions of society has stopped, unless he makes his own new costume by grabbing pieces of discarded retired or passed hero’s outfits.

Or maybe he hits a growth spurt and puts on one of All Might’s old costumes, or Dave makes him one. I wonder what’s Dave up to. Mmm, Dave. Daaaaave.
 
Mei is still around and she makes all of his costumes. So I’m not worried on that front. I do wonder what his “True Hero” costume is gonna look like when he’s done with this “Punished Deku” one. Maybe he’ll add an actual cape.
 
Mei doesn’t make his costume, the support companies did. Mei only added the Air Force gauntlets and I think the Iron Soles. The yellow digger guy added bracers.

I think he’s going to have a Gran Torino style cape, the same colours but with All Might style patterns, Endeavour style boots and maybe a Bakugo style face mask along with his current mask and hood. Most of that is unlikely tho.
 
You know what, while it would be rad to see Melissa in the main series. I would much rather have Mei in a more prominent role again.
Especially right now. I don't think Deku's gear is gonna be able to keep up with him in an extended period of time.
Having Americans in Japan is unlikely as said several chapters ago anyways. So Mei can be the one Deku goes to to get his gears fixed.

Ah, right, she does the support items that go with his costume. Mount Lady does seem to have a different outfit this chapter though, so maybe those companies are still working for heroes in these trying times?

I think he’s going to get rid of his mask entirely. The entire point of his mask was to emulate All Might’s appearance, but now it’s become synonymous with “the monster that doesn’t look like a hero.” So a full costume with no mask and instead his own smile would be quite a good look.
 
Sheer gasm seeing Deku like this. This is exactly what I’ve wanted to see. Deku went from a kindhearted, awkward kid to a cold blooded, heartless(?) teen

yup…Uraraka is gonna be his light
 
This chapter was ******* great, I think I sorta see what Horikoshi meant by Uraraka being the light of the Final Arc

Her setup about how she wants to save the Heroes who are suffering will aline perfectly with what Deku is going through right now

She will fulfill her character arc by saving Deku from the darkness

Also looks like Deku can use 100% on his own without hurting himself now? That was a bit quick
 
Interesting that both of Izuku's Mid-Gauntlets are now damaged, his right arm gauntlet seems to be peeling off. I doubt Izuku can actually use 100% without hurting himself now, either he was bluffing or he talking about how he can use Faux 100%. Though regardless we'll have to wait for the officials or the next chapter before we can say anything.

I feel like Izuku being able to use 100% as his limit would be a big moment, seems too casual to just drop something like that.
 
Pretty sure he’s saying, or at least bluffing, that Faux 100% is the same as using 100% without hurting himself. It’s exactly what it sounds like though: a fake. An imitation.

Faux 100% is not his true 100%. It’s him rushing to be at 100%. It’s a false sense of security and progress. When he TRULY masters 100% without taking damage, it will be a big moment. Right now, when he’s at his highest point power-wise but his lowest point mentally and physically, he’s forcing himself to be the exact same as Prime All Might, but for the wrong reasons and the wrong way.

I calced the explosion at 8-A and it was accepted. Anyone of note that this scales to since they escaped it?
 
But was anyone actually hit with the explosion though? Also, based on the shots we saw last chapter, it looked like Deku and Endeavor were the only ones who went in to me.

Yeah, I'm wondering if it was base Deku who took the explosion. I guess we can't really tell.
 
From what I read Deku says and I quote "I can move at 100% without sustaining any damage, just like could" Nothing about him being as fast as All Might was during the USJ let alone his prime, just that he can move without hurting himself and this is clearly false since he ****** his leg up using 100%
 
I highly, highly, highly, doubt he can use 100% without injuring himself. But when did Izuku break his legs with 100% after the Shigaraki fight?

How would USJ Nomu compare to Deku speedwise?
Click to expand...
Comparable, and that's me being generous since he should be slower than High Ends. Deku with 100% at that point was already around All Might speed and Shigaraki is literally that All Might level. He scales directly to Endeavor who can keep up with the High Ends as well.

So would the USJ Nomu or other high ends be comparable to Midoriya Faux 100% ?
 
The High-ends were around Hawks and Mirko's speed. There's a lot of circular scaling around these characters but basically Hawks, Hood, maybe Hospital High-ends, Mirko and even O'clock over at Vigilantes could be scaled to each other in a circular manner.

So the question is whether Faux 100% is faster than someone like Hawks.

Endeavor is explicitly slower than Hood, not by much but he does admit he is slower but it shouldn't be anything significant.

Of course all this is without accounting for whether any of the High-ends had any speed quirk which would make them even faster.

USJ Nomu scaling is usually blind since apart from Shock Absorption, we know zero about any of the quirks he had.

If he had a combination of speed quirks he could easily be the fastest in the verse despite how strong he High-ends are.

After all a lot of the scaling for the Nomu and High-ends downright ignores the specific quirks they have and scales them to each other in stats.
