    His entire arc in the story is about learning to be a better person and have a better personality for heroing because - as a number of people in his life point out - he is incredibly talented but heroes have a higher standard of behavior they have to follow.

    Future arc spoilers:
    Him being a piece a shit actually sets him back majorly compared to the rest of his class and he is making earnest attempts to be better about it...and often failing.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Actual best character on the show is izuku’s mom.

    watching your kid just fucking ruin themselves during the tournament arc would be brutal

    then off to camp and whoops body done got all broken again

    Every time it flashes back to just after they found out he had no quirk gets me.

    Also do they ever say what happened to his dad? I assume it's something mundane because they just haven't mentioned him at all. He's just present in the earliest flashbacks. Had to get rid of to make room for All Dad.

    They mention he has some sort of fire breathing quirk and that's about it, it's that dumb trope of a parent/parents working overseas.

    If you want a good juicy conspiracy theory try and remember if you've ever seen the doctor who examined Deku as a kid anywhere else.

    I can guarantee that I will not remember because my brain just registers him as generic anime face on top of a lab coat.

    Oh wow, he's totally a distinctive looking guy actually.

    My friend majorly relates to him.

    She's an artist and for a good part of her life, that was her special talent and she was praised for it.

    Then she stopped being a big fish in a small pond and it was a big shock. Much like Bakugo.

    Made me see Bakugo way differently.

    I really like that the chapter where Bakugo fully realizes that he isn't hot shit when there's people like Todoroki and Yaoyorozu around is called "Bakugo's Starting Line". I like the comparison with the episode where Izuku realizes that his new power is nowhere near an easy road to the top.

    One thing this show is real good at is being so wholesome I get completely caught off guard with how scary the villians are?

    like
    The kid with the poison and A GUN
    Or the girl thats HORNY FOR MAKING FOLKS BLEED?

    Hey, in frog years that means she's... dead, probably?

    Please don't die, froppy.

    Some toads can live up to forty years. Some "frogs" are more closely related to other toads.

    You'd have no way of knowing. Quirks are typically treated like an extra appendage but you dont what they can do automatically.

    Which mutation-parts need quirk-factor to work, and which were only built by a quirk but don't need it to work is goofy.

    yeah and he seems like he just got fucked up too

    Endeavor probably wins and doesn't die but he's severely hurt and the fact that it was so close is bad bad news

    Still, it could say more about High-End or All Might, considering Endeavour's results counted for more than everybody else's popularity and results.

    why would you ever not play as All-Might, though

    If they had any sense All Might would be OP, but only has half the time on a round and always loses when you time out even when he has more health.

    we're all gonna push Hero Academia, right

    it is impossible to do a good jojo fighting game

    and I seriously doubt both of them will have patience for all of jojo

    the first three seasons, maybe

    but if you can feel them flagging when it comes to the Cell Saga in DBZ, asking them for a JJBA commitment is a stretch

    I think this looks loads clunkier and slower paced than what I had seen of those Naruto games, and they're made by different developers

    You could absolutely do a good jojo fighting game

    You'd just do it like dbfz, pack the moveset with lots of direct references to things the characters have done, and give everyone supers that directly evoke their big awesome moments

    Hell the old Jojo game let you play as Mariah, the lady that fights with a power outlet

    You can't necessarily capture the calvinball murder puzzle nature of the fights but you don't have to

    the more practical reason I don't think they'll do a jojo fighting game is that while jojo has a very committed fanbase, it doesn't have that MHA heat

    DBZ, however, was and is insanely popular across multiple countries and was also enjoying a very popular new season; the jojo anime and manga are still going strong but they're not carrying the same popularity and profitability of MHA

    An RPG where you make your own hero and are in Class 1A seems like a no brainer

    Like

    Obviously it's a lot more work than an arena brawler but give me it
