My Hero Academia General Discussion Thread #18

Man. Why does machia have to be so anti climatic. He just rampaged through multiple cities and armies of heros with ease and then jeanist comes along and takes him down solo.
 
LOV fans are not having a good day.

  • Deku can move again
  • Jeanist is back and he's already making machia look like a ******* joke
  • Shiggy is only half awake
  • Kitty Pryde Mirio is back
  • A large majority of the LOV members appear pinned just like machia

The tide turned quite quickly.
 
Only person still up is Dabi who is 1v1ing Todoroki right now and a couple other High Ends.

AFO better have Machia go super Saiyan or something to get them out of this one.
 
Nejire basically just swapped out with Mirio. She's K.O.ed and in ida's arms. It's a shame she got put aside in this fight so soon.
 
Can shiggy just wake up, pull some invulnerability counter measure and just snatch that shit away from Mirio. I hate to do it to em just after eri gave it back, but his existence is pretty much the reason why Nejire was thrown out of the fight so quickly.
 
I know Machia's not down for the count. We went through this months ago at the hideout when the heroes, MT Lady, 1A & 1B kids had him on his knees. They thought they had him down ready to swallow the sedative. Then he came back stronger, Kirishima delivered the sedative and people were like okay, Machia is gonna sleep, the adult heroes like Gang Orca and Majestic are here to end this, then the guy got another power-up transformation. The dude definitely isn't down for the count.
 
Nejire having to job in order to put over Dabi (the resident MHA jobber) really shows how much she values in Horikoshi's eyes lmao.

I mean, yeah he's using Flashfire and all and he needs to at least look good but that was kinda unnecessary, especially now that the High Ends are here, where Nejire should be perfectly suited to take them down with her quirk.

Mirio's a surprise and we'll see how he manages to fend of those High Ends .
 
Also based on the Spoilers for next chapter it seems like while Nejire gets one shot by dabi she’s still alive so that could justify her a durability rating when the chapter drops since she’s currently Unknown there.

How does Mirio hurting Near High End Nomu’s effect the scaling of Yakuza Arc characters or will we just say Mirio is far Stronger now.
Or will we just need context and to wait for the chapter because this sounds absurd.
 
Damn in the spoilers looks like Dabi's skin is already burning away. Looks painful as hell, but he seriously needs something to counteract his huge weakness.
 
Horikoshi Sketch for the 3rd movie

Shoto in the sketch is wearing his pre war arc suit not full on confirmed but heavily Implied.Lets just keep hoping it’s during the time skip.

Also here’s a rough translation of What Hori said I saw on Reddit.

“I’ll give you a rough translation of the bottom left panel:

A new exciting announcement from Horikoshi Kouhei (sensei)!

I am very happy to have the privilege to work on my 3rd movie! Thank you for always “cheering on” (supporting) Deku and the rest of the characters! When the second movie was released, people commented saying “there probably won’t be another one, will there?” But there is, thanks to all of the people supporting the series. I can’t sleep with my legs in any direction, so I guess I’ll have to sleep doing a handstand for now (I think is a joke that means he’s going to be working so hard he doesn’t have the time to sleep... I hope)

It also says it’s coming in summer 2021 if y’all don’t already know”

Summer 2021 for Japan is a nice release date too so everyone else will probably get the movie near the end of the year
 
How strong are the Near High-Ends supposed to be anyway? Without any feats they are at best stronger than the Black and White Nomus.

And as for Best Jeanist's feat, according to Spinner Gigantomachia was weakened because Shigaraki didn't give him any instructions, so he is not at his full strength right now.

Since they’re considered near high ends maybe they should downscale off Hospital High Ends Maybe down to 8-B?The spoilers for this chapter also imply that unlike Black Nomu which Several Pro Heroes will struggle with one the Near High Ends wiped out the Pros completely we don’t know the full context though and this part I’m mentioning we just have to wait for the chapter but I don’t think Baseline 8-B Near High ends is inconsistent.

I’d understand people disagreeing with this and preferring High 8-C+ Near High ends

I did another post for top 10 psychic/mental quirks. There's unfortunately very few mind-based quirks in the series. I'm using the reddit app so I couldn't post the reddit link so I'll just paste everything here in quotes:

"So I did lists for Strongest Physically, Vitality Quirks and Hax Quirks so I guess it's time for Psychic abilities. Now MHA doesn't have a lot of quirks revolving around the mind or consciousness but there's still a few so this will include: telepathy quirks, illusion quirks & intelligence quirks.

There aren't many of them. Some I feel as if I'm forcing it for of them.

1. Telepath - This is Mandalay's quirk. It allows her to directly speak into people's minds. Pales in comparison to true mind control in other verses.

2. Brainwash - It can brainwash people but requires: request - response signal. Shinso has to ask or speak something and get a response to complete the "connection". It can be broken by OFA and probably AFO via vestiges. It uses Sound as a medium so not as convenient as directly speaking into someone's mind.

3. Poltergeist (Reiko) - she's that 1B girl with telekinesis but it is limited to stuff near her and her weight limit is about 1 person so it's pretty weak TK. Now there are a lot of other characters who can manipulate stuff with their mind but it is usually stuff they produced themselves like Hawks controlling his feathers so they can't compare to genuine TK.

4. Anivoice (Koda)- This is just Shinso, the animal control version. It would have way more potential if it had some effects on humans considering we are animals too.

5. Incite - Trumpet's quirk. This guy is basically the Hypebeast of the PLF. I can boost morale and power if people who believe in his ideals so its oretty great ability for a politician. Can also be overcome by strong intimidation though, like with Shigaraki's casual look at Kamino.

6. Muddiness - this is Giran's quirk. It requires touch to work. He has to touch someone's head and he can even erase short term memories.

7. Confession - this is Shin Nemoto's quirk. It requires him to ask a question. Basically you can't lie to him.

8. Outburst - Ms Joke's quirk. It forces her targets to burst out into uncontrollable laughter and apparently this impairs their cognitive abilities. Seems to affect the mind to me.

- Although Mandalay's telepathy is weak by most power standards, it is the only one directly projected into the mind using mental power instead of through other means like the Voice or touch so I placed it first.

- And thats basically it, there aren't that many Mental quirks in the series. As for intelligence enhancing quirks:

9. Enhanced Intelligence: I can only think of Principal Nezu and Saiko Intelli right now.

As for the last ability, it's from additional material for the Two Heroes movie. It's a pretty strong ability with both Consciousness & Spiritual abilities, basically the only "spiritual" quirk in MHA:

10. Spirit Possession - this is quirk from a Sudanese hero, Nyikang. Its description: apparently, he can convert his consciousness into spiritual energy which he can send towards a target to possess them. Anyway, doubt we'll ever see these movie side characters again considering even the mains in these movies never get acknowledged again.

11. Glamour - far-fetched, I know considering it requires one to be within Cammie's gas anyway so it might just be a hallucinogenic gas. But it can create illusions so... Anyway it's not part of the 10 above."

I forgot Deku's mom also had minor TK but I think that's all for mind based or psychic quirks.
 
Oh god. Imagine a Deku with a significantly stronger TK or a Deku with pyrokinesis.
Unfortunately both his parents quirks are probably very weak. Its is also very hard for perfect quirk fusion to happen and most kids just inherit the quirk of one parent. It took 4 tries for Endeavor to get Shoto.

Also I've always wondered about Koda's parents (both rocks), Tsuyu's parents (both frogs) and Hagakure's parents (both are invisible), Is it incest or are there dating sites for mutant types with similar looks e.g. "only looking for dog people, no cat people" etc.

That's where spin-offs come in. We should be getting SoL/fluff side stories (either manga or novels) that involves more worldbuilding which should cover stuff like that.

Haven't read the MHA novels yet however.

In other news, the korean scans are out, fantranslations will probably be out tomorrow. Nejire surviving Dabi's Flashfire is good, I guess. Mirio can pummel Near high Ends enough to knock them back, unknwon if he can KO them as he hits them in the head/brain directly, he also saved Burnin from one sneaking NHE.
 
We don't say that 45% Izuku broke Shigaraki's jaw, where are you getting that? It's probably a typo if true.

BlackeJan. Don't post to illegal sites, please delete that. Ant has already stated we could get into trouble for posting such links.
 
The ending of the latest chapter has me significantly conflicted, I was worried a Deus Ex Machina would happen and this is really close to the line of one for me, I'll have to wait to see how this plays out, but once again, I don't want the heroes to get a victory here at all, but it looks like the arc will end with a draw between the villains and heroes, which is fine if we are really shown that hero society and everything has taken a huge blow
