    For some reason I'm now imaging Jackie Chan dressed as Toga in a fight, but telling his opponents he don't want trouble

    As someone that grew up watching Dragonball Z, I always forget how little padding there is to MHA. I was surprised to see that the English dub in Toonami is almost through Season 3.

    I wonder what the delay will be with airing season 4.

    So latest chapter seems to imply
    Tomura's home life was actually peaceful and full of kind, loving people.



    So I'm guessing he accidentally wound up dusting everyone and the trauma of it caused him to block it all out until his memories started resurfacing during the assault on the Meta Liberation Army town

    One translation of the announcement I've seen has Horikoshi say that there will likely not be a third film and that it is incorporating ideas he originally had for the series' final chapters which is


    Surprising

    I imagine he has since changed how it is gonna end and is just retooling those ideas but saying that there are only gonna be 2 movies, probably, surprises me

    The new way they do movies is very time consuming for creators so I can see why maybe he wants to focus more on the series

    The festival arc has parts that are barely more than sketches and it's clear he was on a time crunch pres8mably because of the two Diehards

    When Tomura was saying "What I wanted them to tell me" a lot of people are thinking he wanted to be a hero as a kid.

    What I think is he wanted them to hate them, blame him for someone's death (maybe sister?)

    I think since that event he wanted to throw away the charade of being innocent and be treated as a villain

    My prediction:
    All for One used forced quirk activation on Tomura, had him dust his whole family, and then worked to corrupt the hell out of him.

    If so, then Re-Destro is a bad match up for him, because he has a much better understanding of how quirks work and evolve.

    I breezed through the entirety of the series & the movie over the past week, plus I’m now halfway through the manga.

    I also picked up the two translated volumes of the School Briefs, and they’re fantastic - equal parts completely terrible/awesome.

    Is there any way to watch the OVAs, legally?

    I also just breezed through this whole show in a couple weeks. It is very good.

    Season 3
    I liked the very slight mellowing of Bakugo towards the end, after the donnybrook he has with Midoriya and All Might confessing what's up between em.

    Now he's only 98% of a total prick, and I can work with that.

    Also Yaoyorozu needs a cooler hero costume.

    Oh brilliant

    I would put a major Content Warning for this week's chapter. Subject matter in spoiler.
    Child abuse mental and physical. It feels pretty harsh and I have no history or triggers and it bummed me all the way out. Not bad writing but brutal.

    I was up far too late reading the second school briefs novel. There’s a distressing amount of Mineta, but ah well - it says they’re based upon scenes that didn’t make it into the manga so perhaps we’re being saved from as much Mineta there.

    There’s a whole chapter with the girls of 1A and 1B assessing which of the class 1A boys would make the best boyfriend, which is pretty amusing.

    The eventual consensus:
    Kendo from 1B would make a better boyfriend than the boys themselves, and all the girls would also consider Dark Shadow (not Tokoyami)

    Also, Mori really lucked out the other day and I didn’t really appreciate it at the time; he found me a Tokoyami figpin at our local Target. They’re no longer available online and eBay has them for 3x retail. Sweet.

    four MHA t-shirts
    and three pairs of socks
    and a pair of MHA pajama bottoms
    and a deku/Todoroki heat changing mug
    and a tokoyami necklace
    and a pair of deku/bakugo necklaces

    nope

    I didn't just do that
