Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

Since the manga got Academica in its title I doubt there will be that much world building. The school and the city will always be the main focus for BokuHero. World buidling will probably be done due classes like for example we learn some historical stuff of the superheroes or we see in tests how classes are important whenever you are an Emitter or a transformer and such. BokuHero will focus most on the students, their pasts and dreams and skills and how their school life gonna be. The world they live in won't be that important, I guess. Or maybe the students might leave on some class trips or travel to another hero school where there is some school comeptition for them.

Wrap it in spoiler tag is more efficient than warn in the top. XD

Spoiler

It is interesting to know these nuances that are lost when the chapter is translated (I read in Portuguese), so please continue posting them whenever you feel like it's important.
I think that they call him sensei because Tomura respect him as a master or something else. He is something very respected among the villains, I'm sure about it.
The funny scenes were great, this chapter was very refreshing after so much tension. I've prepared a post about the chapter, but I prefer post here when the chapter is released in English.

I was thinking about that too. All I know is that this is really confusing (makes me want to know more too). Since this is obvious that the person knows about All Might weakness, I wonder if it might actually be the villain mentioned in the first chapter? Would explain, why he's targeting All Might and how it knows about the weakness:

At first I actually read in English (the main reason being that the series has a crazy amount of text and I couldn't see myself look up all the words I don't know) then I started reading in raws again from ch14, quickly caught up to ch19 (at the time) and I actually like the series better in Japanese

I thought of this possibility, it would be awesome and it makes sence. Yuuei is not the unique hero school of the Earth. XD

You have a point, I didn't remember about this panel you mentioned, maybe he is Super Venon Chainsaw, but I think that All Might defeated him, so he is either dead or imprisoned. Also, they talk like it is just a rumor that All Might is weaker, they mention the word "rumor" many times. They don't convey the reliability of someone who fought All Might and deadly injured him...

Original language is always better, Boku no Hero Academia worth the sacrifice, right?

Chapter 17 is out in English!
Here's my comment.

Minoru you bastard! The embarassed Tsuyu is so cu- It's not time for this! XD
This chapter was so intense, I think it was the best of the series so far and it is very remarkable. Iida managed to escape thanks to Uraraka (what a courageous girl!) and that other guy I don't remember the name (XD) and the villains dominating everything with Noumu. He is the ultimate force of the villains, Midoriya smash didn't do anything against him... I wonder whether All Might will succed against him or we will see All Might falling... The next chapters are VERY promissing.
The most tense moment of the chapter was when Tsuyu was about to be crushed, but Eraserhead erased that guy's quirk... Everybody should have noticed my liking for Tsuyu, so it was a very tense scene to me.

PS: Bakugou is destructive, he is smashing weak underlings like cockroaches, that guy along with him is powerful as well.
PS²: Until chapter 50~60 I will memorize the name of everybody. xD

Minoru was all like

Seems like Ochako got a first hint on how to deal with Blackmist by using the ornaments on his neck. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time for the second half of the chapter.
But what is up with Noumu tanking the smash and Midioriya's arm not breaking? Did he really learn to control it at a time like this? He didn't seem too sure about it himself.

Didn't like of his attitude, pervert!

It was a stroke of luck (or bad luck). Midoriya implied that it already happened before although I don't know when and how. Anyway, this time, by chance, he controlled his power, which means his is improving bit by bit.

Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

Mineta copping a feel , I guess he can die happy now.

Don't think Izuku managed to control his Quirk so it must be something else, kryptonite?, with Bakugou, Iida and hardening guy coming it's likely that he will fight with the help of the students.

If Eraserhead looks at All Might it will make him take his original form then...

Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

If Deku controlled his power, this is the first time. There were no implicit nor explicit hints about him ever doing it before, but the opposite.
Also him controlling the power has only to do with not hurting him, the blast from the Smash happened. So the punch had the power on it. Given this, Noumu didn't used any power like kryptonite or something that removes or weakens the power of All Might, because he obviously Tanked that Punch.
Also, did you noticed how fast Noumu was? He went from tackling Aizawa, to be in front of Deku in just mere seconds.

I loved Ochako pro-activeness. It was due to her that Iida was able to escape the facilities and go call the pro hero teachers.

All Might his here, and he isn't smiling. Shit gonna get real!

Not before doing the same with Momo.

It was not kryptonite or something like that, it was just by luck (or bad luck), the power was there, but it was weaker because he controlled it. Even so, it was power enough to push anyone and it didn't do anything to Noumu. He didn't have any secret, he is just strong as hell.

Yep, but it's impossible to happen.

Can't wait for the english scans, I just read the Portuguese to get a better feel of what is happening.

I am really curious of All Might/ Deku's quirk "All for one", does it also pass the other quirk its predecessors had? If "All for One" only ability is transference then super strength is just a culmination of its predecessors or perhaps someone acquired All for one whom has an innate strength enhancement quirk which then got transferred and amplified by its successors.

 

[Leoat12]

Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

IIRC the manga gave the description of All for One quirk as power that increases each time it is transfered from one host to another. It's origin and how many people had before All Might was not said. Until now, it is implicit that one person cannot have more than one quirk, the person is born with only one after all. However, what will happen if All for One host give his power to someone who already has a quirk? Doesn't it work? The transfer only happens when the candidate is quirkless?
All for one is a special power, different from the others and it brings many questions.

If we assume All for one does not transfer other quirk and can only be transferred to someone who is quirkless, then it will only enhance the strength of its user due to the culmination of strength of its previous user. However All Might has shown other abilities, such as flight and transformation was this his own? or were this the quirk of its previous users?

This or All for One has a limit that increases every transfer, the amount of power doesn't increase while it is in a host. It seems that the power of the host increases during his life, but actually, he is learning how to control his power better and approaching the limit that All for One has. Midoriya, for example, cannot stand All for One full power, he has to strengthen his body to achieve it.
By what I understood, he didn't fly, he jumped. XD
I think that his transformation is due to All for One full power mode when all his body is enveloped by All for One power.

I think All For One gives you Super Strength, Senses and Flight. Izuku doesn't master it well, it must be why he is unable to fly.

Does it really become more powerful each time there is a new successor? It would mean that the first users were kinda weak, right?

All for One is the cultivation and increment of might! Midoriya might will increment in the already big pool of Might that All Might had.

It has nothing to do with becoming more powerful with each time there is a new successor. The New successor just adds his might and then cultivate it even more with the pool of might already existent.

Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

Ch.22 in Japanese: (probably the last chapter I read out of the English scans given the double issues that'll come soon)
- The pro heros (teachers) are still in the dark concerning who the culprit behind the attack is but it seems like given some points that the one with the hands on his face seems to be like an "adult child" - '子ども大人' which from what I understood is someone that most likely didn't receive counseling on his individuality and incoherent when using it (I'll probably read the chapter again this week end to make sure). The principal says they're a bit like pupils in that if they / he is a high grade "back - written as Guidance Counselor" to guide them on how to properly use their / his individuality things would get ugly. At the same time this means the one that was referred to as "sensei" in ch21 is probably someone like that to the one with the hands on his face.

- The athletic festival :3 (can't wait for that one) it's one of the greatest events in Japan - some sort of new Olympics (I saw it as a reference to the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics). It's so big in scale that top heroes around the nation watch it to scout for future talents. Meaning that for students of Yuuei the festival is a chance not to miss (one per year for three in total) since if they make it big in there they'll definitely have a bright future ahead of them.

- The festival makes everyone fired up (especially Uraraka - I loved how her personality did a complete 180°). We learn she wants to be a hero to get money for her family (poor background).

- We see Midoriya and All Might talking (they're having lunch together). We learn All Might's limit (pinch in Japanese) reverted to being 50 minutes. That Midoriya really controlled his individuality during that fight with Noumu (his arm didn't break) and that was because he learned how his individuality can easily kill someone and the control he had was some kind of "brake" he put on himself since he was using his individuality against a person for the first time.

- All Might then goes on and says he will not be able to pose for the symbol of peace much longer and that's why the athletic festival will be the greatest opportunity for Midoriya to make himself known as All Might's successor.

Thoughts on the chapter: nice chapter, it seems like the athletic festival will be the first long arc in the series (I can see it lasting for at least 10-20 chapters) and I have a hunch the villains will actually come back and invade that festival which could easily make the arc last to ch40-50 or even more^^

Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

Kaminari looked like Saitama .

300 punches so rapidly, and he said he would have only needed 5 in normal circumstances, not sure if he was bluffing at this moment too .

It's really game over for the villains now, the intervention of the kid heroes was cool.

 

[Leoat12]

Re: Boku no Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei

Now I can post my comments!

Chapter 18

I was right after all... Noumu was made to go against All Might, All Might attacks don't do anything at him. However, All Might is weaker now, I think that's why they attacked, they knew that the rumors are true, otherwise, if All Might were with full power, even Noumu couldn't bring him down. The chapter was so great, with Midorya thinking about what All Might said to him, his reaction in contrasct with everybody else, he running to save All Might against All Might orders and then Bakugou and the best ones arriving to save the day!
Bakugou and the other two are the ones with more power of attack along with Midoriya, it is gonna be an interesting battle.

Chapter 19

It was All Might chapter, he was awesome, even with terrible pains, he give his all to defeat Noumu and he was able to. It is incredible he saying that he was weaker indeed, if it were in his apex, he would need of 5 punches to destroy Noumu. I wonder if Midoriya will get there in the future.
The students would like to help, but I think they would just disturb All Might fight with the villains... This is the professional world, they don't belong to this world yet... The last fight is about to begin, I wonder if that hands guy is stronger than Noumu.

Chapter 20

And the curtains fall to this very first arc with the villains... It was a tough battle to both students and teachers, All Might suffered a lot and now he is in his original form in front of everybody, I'm curious to see how will be the students' reaction to this true form. The heroes coming was awesome as well, I wanted to see them fighting, but they were late! XD
Well, like Midoriya said, it is just the beginning, many other incidents will happen and many villains, stronger than these, will appear. I'm hyped!

I think he was bluffing there TBH.

I wonder how they could have known that he is getting weaker though, Midoriya only told his secret to Bakugou. Or maybe there is a traitor among the heroes.
