I think it's cute how awkward Deku and Ochako are around each other, other than that, I think she does fine when she's given focus, Horikoshi just has a problem doing that with female characters in general

Chi-chi is the only responsible member of Goku's family damnit
That's not saying much, especially since the man she's married to has the emotional development of a child!

But yeah, Hori's problem is mostly about panel allocation. When the women get screentime, they tend to do pretty damn well for themselves.

On the topic of Uraraka as a love interest and her role in the story, I don't really mind it. I like romance, even in shonen, so I usually enjoy little bits of it even if it's dragged out. Would I prefer it to be "resolved" long before the series ends? Definitely. Would I be irritated by it only being resolved then? Not at all. The previous arc showed us that her character is developing just fine so her crush on Deku hasn't been annoying in the slightest. I'm fairly certain there are some who aren't satisfied with it especially when she blushed those few times, but that's to be expected cause she can't just erase her feelings. She's putting them aside to focus on her studies/career, but they're still there so it's only natural for it to spill out every once in a while or for her to even react to it regularly. What's important is that she doesn't let it impede her in her objective.

Now what I do want to see is Uraraka doing CQC more often, and for Horikoshi to deliver those scenes clearly. Hopefully we'll get that the next time we see her in action.

Viz translations out

tidys up a few things, particularly what we were speculating about as to whether she'd graduated from middle school, which she had, and she ran away just after, so she's been on the run for two years, if I had to guess, at the graduation ceremony (which is why the boys are wearing fancy suits) Deku 2 was being bullied/standing up for himself, she snapped after seeing Deku2 being true to himself and attacked the people he was up against, possibly (most likely) killing them

I bet she killed him cause she wanted to be him which is completely her thing.

Toga continues to be one of the best fighters in the manga and her new mask was wonderful. Wish it yielded results.

Kind of feel the bomb meta could have been a bit more differentiated and unique than what we already have from folks, though perhaps with the timing, Horikoshi was short on time to really think of a creative meta to use against Toga in a fight, so it was the fastest non blood sickness transfer meta he could think of.

Shh. Let me hope.

Then again, I suppose that would imply not much Toga backstory... Ehh, whatever.

Still, I'd like to see how everyone in the league is doing after the Toga-focused chapter.
If the league really wants to hold their own, Twice can make Dabi clones and blast fire in every direction.

The Light Novel will cover, Bakugou's Obstacle Course Run, Iida and Todoroki taking a picture at the cut out, Class B's Stage Play, The Beauty Contest, also apparently something with Kirishima, Amajiki and Fatgum

Ok here's a very important question for you folk:
Let's say that one day, Mirio unexpectedly get his quirk back and arrives in the nick of time to help the heroes. Do you want him to show up

A. in his Lemillion hero costume
B. utterly nude because he phased out of his clothes

I'm pretty split. Mirio's costume is one of the coolest in the manga and would definitely make for an epic entrance, cape billowing behind him. On the other hand, Mirio beating the shit out of villains while naked would be funny as fuck.

Digging that light novel cover quite a lot but it's bugging me that the space between Deku and Mirio's legs are empty. I wonder why. Speaking of the light novels, I enjoyed the first one more than I expected so I'm looking forward to this one, especially 1-B's play.

Not that I expected anything different but Toga's kind of lost me with the whole yandere shtick, bet her favorite song is let the bodies hit the floor

Well Toga's shtick doesn't really match the definition of Yandere, a Yandere would kill people to be with the person they love, Toga just wants to kill the person she loves and If it ends up being that it's because of her quirk then she is best described just some horny vampire type character

Since it'll be Mirio's first time in action, he has to come back in costume imo. The naked gag should live on though, just not in that instance

Also, have some funk everyone:

Tace Beautiful new avatar, man.

I watched Infinity War again last week as part of my MCU rewatch. That scene made me a sobbing mess again. (๑ಥ﹏ಥ)ﻭ

Finally got around to reading the latest chapter! Surprised I haven't seen that last panel with "protect her smile" memes on it, Toga is creepy as hell. Looking forward to this flashback.

I'm really liking this arc, on the whole. Some real solid character work being done in a very short period of time. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on this new reporter lady even though we've only just met her. Fantastic panel work, too.

Thanks brother!

I haven't got to my infinity war rewatch yet, doing it right before I go see Endgame. I still remember the first time seeing the snap in the theater.

It was indescribable. Marvel really went there

Feels like semantics. We all know what someone's talking about when they say they don't like her yandere traits lol

I think Toga has more to her than her crazy stick, in fact i dont think she is crazy she just acts like that because that is how she likes to deal with things

Unconfirmed spoilers, but same source that got info right for the last couple chapters
We don't get much about Toga's past besides the Deku lookalike was named Saitou, she drank his blood, and killed birds as a kid

Toga kills Kizuki by turning into Ochako and using Ochako's quirk to make Kizuki float high, she apparently can also duplicate quirks
