Cope is real here, transinic Iida on top

Anyone know if mha will still update next week?

Anyone know if mha will still update next week?

So far it is not confirmed.

 

[DemonGodMitchAubin]

As I expected, rereading the latest chapter while also reading the previous 10 chapters, it all flows much better

Like I have said many times, MHA suffers from the weekly curse, shit reads much better in binge

 

[Metalballrun]

Let's gooooo ≋T≋R≋A≋N≋S≋O≋N≋I≋C≋ ≋S≋P≋E≋E≋D≋

 

[Gitagon]

Iida confirmed Transonic and pretty much the only characters faster than him is Bakugo, Deku, and Shigaraki.

Everyone else is subsonic.

I do wonder what the hell Hori be thinking with the mach cones or when he had AFO and Gran Torino outspeed their own speech bubbles. Was it just for the razzle dazzle?

Especially Torino cause since Iida is faster than him, a casual Torino should be in no way capable of outspeeding his own voice.

I don’t think everyone is subsonic. Mirko, Edgeshot, Star etc probably fall into supersonic ranges.

I also highly doubt Horikoshi really thought he was making them supersonic by having them outpace a speech bubble of all things. It very likely was just a stylistic choice in the same way he would make a character look all blurry when they’re going fast or how he portrays Bakugo tagging people with explosions from previous hits lingering.

When did afo do it?

pretty much a lot of this comes down to powerscaling brain rot vs Visual Language to emphasize things.

this is prob true for most stories, its just that some stories never acknowledge their own speeds/AP ect so it allows people like us to interpreted stuff at face value.

 

[Therefir]

One thing is for sure, I don't want Hori to make statements or comparisons like this, ever again.

The next thing would be a random character comparing the power of Deku's punches to that of a nuclear warhead.

 

[Ped2018]

comparing the power of Deku's punches to that of a nuclear warhead.

The way this is so possible...

Nah, it'd be more like "Deku's punch is like a cannonball!"

 

[Ped2018]

OMG, OP reference???!!!

 

[SuperStar]

"Deku's punch is even stronger than the Intercontinental Cruise Punch!"

 

[Bruh]

"Deku's punch is even stronger than the Intercontinental Cruise Punch!"

If only

 

[Metalballrun]

Most of these characters fall under the same speed bracket as Gran Torino so by this chapter's logic they'd be subsonic too. At least they are during the war arc. Current arc they're supersonic lol

 

[Metalballrun]

OMG, OP reference???!!!

Considering One Piece characters are FTL yet still get hit by sound-based attacks, this is par the course for dogshit shonen writing.

Right, and One Piece characters being outpaced by a guy running at 200 km/h.

Edgeshot transforms at supersonic speeds. We have Mirko being talked about in a similar statement to Hawks (plus like cargo planes are anywhere from 70-90% the speed of sound). Nothing suggests Gran Torino is on par with them anyways.

"those strikes, they like bulldozers,not even solid stone can withstand the force of something like that !"

He would even be able to break diamonds

Imagine if Horikoshi has Deku’s Gearshift stated at Mach 2?

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

someone dropping a 1 kiloton bomb " if this bomb lands, not a single soul will survive"

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

Imagine if Horikoshi has Deku’s Gearshift stated at Mach 2?

title at the bottom of the chapter: "the Power to shatter the laws of nature, Beyond Superonic,Deku's Rushes towards Shigaraki with an Iron will"

Deku’s gonna say something like he can’t even see at supersonic speed so he’s gotta he careful.

 

[InvisibleInternetMan]

Horikoshi's actually pretty consistent with his depiction of supersonic movement. He has a particular way he draws mach cones that show up various times throughout the manga, which I've only noticed after multiple re-reads of the series

How many characters actually got mach cones I feel like it wasn’t many.

 

[InvisibleInternetMan]

Deku has one, Ida has like 3, Nagant has one (although that can be argued as an impact effect), Todoroki has a few, I think Bakugo has a few, I feel like I remember All Might with one but I might be delusional

 

[InvisibleInternetMan]

Shigaraki has one also

I kinda forgot about Mirko and Edgeshot. At most though they will be in the supersonic ranges in terms of movement speed.

 

[Gitagon]

When did afo do it?

After taking Hawks quirk.

 

[Gitagon]

"those strikes, they like bulldozers,not even solid stone can withstand the force of something like that !"

Lmao, this reminds me of Shoji saying that Spinner could now even break through concrete as if it was something super- impressive.

Yeah, I think the perfect example is in Deku vs Shigaraki in mid-air during the first war.

Rather than impact cones which are usually somewhat of a circle, the mach cones in that fight were drawn to look almost like a stretched out film of air.

You remember that Mirio and everyone else needed the power types to smash walls in the Overhaul arc?

 

[Gitagon]

I mean that was kinda expected since Mirio and the rest are just regular humans without any physical enhancements in-universe.

The Spinner stuff just stood out to me cause he already had like 3 extra quirks active which all seemed to boost strength & durability.

 

[Mazdoesstuff]

Yeah Horikoshi has no idea how to hype up characters ngl

 

[DemonGodMitchAubin]

I mean can’t these guys have Subsonic travel speeds and then higher combat and reaction speeds?

 

[Ped2018]

I mean can’t these guys have Subsonic travel speeds and then higher combat and reaction speeds?

I mean, Lida already has different travel speed from his combat one, we're just discussing it because we find it silly.

 

[DemonGodMitchAubin]

It is silly, authors don’t comprehend power scaling at all

Shoto struggled reacting to Iida in the sports festival. Deku, Tokoyami and Ochaco got blitzed by him too. You can’t just say subsonic speed and supersonic+ reactions. It doesn’t work.
