Tactics/Choereography>Spectacle for me. Ideally you'd want it all, but that's proven to be a tall order.As long as Hori keeps pumping out stuff like Stain vs UA students, Mirio vs Overhaul, and Deku vs Gentle I'll be a happy camper
I care more about the story around the fights, if we get more arcs like school festival and endeavor tryingt to improve I can ignore if there is a fight that destroy the universe

If i was Ojiro I would just straight up drop out. Quirkless boy gets an enhancement quirk? I can deal.... wait he's getting six more powers? and i all i got is a fucking tail? peace!

Monoma's is a whole different case, we know how his mindset works from his monoloque at the start of the match. If anything I think Monoma is serving as foil to Shinso here.
If Shinso we're a foil to Monoma then he probably should have stopped Monoma from attacking Deku there.

People joke about Satou but I can really see that happening with Ojiro, everyone calls him plain and he seems frustated.

Story is the most important of all, even in a battle manga. You get the audience to love the characters enough they'll follow you anywhere. That's why Bleach failed, it just became a series of battles with no story. No real story anyway

I don't get it? From what I understand Shinso used his quirk on deku and went on hiding again, we don't know if he was in a position to stop Monoma or not.

All Might vs All for One has none of that. It has good art/animation and build up at least.

I don't know. Yeah, I guess it's technically a battle manga, but I don't really come to the series for the fights. It's not like something like Dragonball where spectacle can hold the entire series up. Even Naruto pulls that off with the best fight of last year being between Naruto/Sasuke and some one off rando. Even the tactics fall short, though I can only think of HxH who can pull off some legit good tactics (of the stuff I read/watch).

Shinso is shown in the same spot the entire time so I don't understand why you would think he is in hiding. He had a clear view of Deku as well.

I'm speaking in general terms for all Shonen, and MHA more often than not leans towards tactics over spectacle.

Besides, the reason All Might vs AfO is good is the emotion behind it. Finally getting to seeing these two clash only for it to possibly be All Might's last stand. It's easy to say it's lackluster in hindsight, but reading it as it was happening was some of the most fun I've had with the series so far. The story behind that fight makes it, and I'd say it's the most emotional fight thus far, with Mirio v Overhaul being a close second.

Deku having multiple quirks is pretty sick, IMO. He's totally about to start pulling some Spidey stuff with Black Whip given Horikoshi's love of the character.

The battles were also mostly nonsense

All these hours later and I'm still salty. Also something that didn't occur to me when I first posted my thoughts was how this revelation will end up affecting the side cast. As much as I hate to say it Horikoshi isn't exactly the greatest at utilizing the side characters. And if this does end up going the way of constant escalation then the side characters will become even more irrelevant than they already are which means they'd be non existent. And the reason why this worries me is that MHA is a series in which I prefer the side characters over the main ones and I would hate for them to be banished to the shadow realm because of this.

Maybe they'll explain it as a rare mutation or something where he has multiple quirks. And the world has people that have 2 or 3 quirks but they are super rare. I hope that even if Deku tries to explain it away that someone or multiple people are suspicious

>You're Candy Guy, your power isn't great, but at least you're physically strong
>New kid Deku shows up, has a power similar to yours, but he quickly loses the drawbacks of his...
>Deku quickly achieves way more than you can, and he's kinda popular, but you still work hard...
>Deku then unlocks six more quirks...
>Seriously contemplate killing Deku...
lol

I'm pretty conflicted about this for this reason actually.
On one hand Deku can end up doing more creative attacks and techniques, combining different quirks. Neat.
On the other hand I really hate it when side characters fall by the wayside and eventually can pretty much only stare at future over the top battles taking place. So far teamwork was a huge deal and I hope all of class A characters will still be able to pull their weight to defeat a big bad together in some way. If it's just gonna be Deku, fice man, that grenade asshole and maybe the hardening guy getting the big fights then... bleh.

that still doesn't explain it though lol.

"Hey guys I have a strength quirk." "And the tentacles?" "uhhh a side effect"
I mean Deku's quirk to them is already an abnormality. With him getting it like at age 14(?). Compared to the other students who've had their quirks basically their entire life. And had them pretty much figured out on how they work.

All Deku has to say is "I had no idea it could do this." There done.

they don't know that he got the quirk at 14 though.

Seeing how class B wanted to avoid an melee clash with class A, it is really hard to seeing class B winning.

So I skipped and just read the latest chapter.
Wait what!? One for all is actually many quirks?
So All Might is just using 1 skill tree all this time.
I need to catch up.

Not of his own choice. Deku's the first time that OfA decided to unlock itself fully. Not sure why either. It ties back to when Deku first saw all those "ghosts" during the Tournament arc.

I think the way to even shit out is to have Deku have his multiple quirks and everyone else basically Get Plus Ultra forms of their quirk ( Basically Bankai) so that we can see what the singularity actually is. I would like the quirk singularity is just a state of which their quirk gets more powerful but more complex as a trade off, so not everyone would be able to handle it or be able to use it well.

Also Have it start becoming a thing in Deku's Generation going forward and having some older Characters learn this new thing from the younger kids to try and bring it out into themselves. Doing this makes future power scaling way more even for all our heroes.

Like Tsuyu can manifest more esoteric frog like traits that are surprisingly deadly ( Some can turn hair into spikes, cause a color flash to blind nightvision predators, enhance her poison to be more Potent)
Sato can dope himself with different substances to get different effects and make himself Bane (He really needs Bane suit and he would become a fan-favorite)

Kirishimi can get more and more Monstrous with His Unbreakable form Because I think we all thought it was weird how he looked when he went deeper in his power.

Bakugo really just needs to be able to make explosions from his feet also and I think he would be able to hang with damn near anybody because his body is already strong as shit because it built itself to take the aftershocks of his explosions.

Todoroki to be more complete unison of his fire and ice usages.

Iida is just the flash So he gets kinetic vision as a sub superpower

Momo is an interesting one because her Plus ultra could be damn near anything Maybe more effiecient Lipid to size of the object so she can make alot more at once and bigger things over all faster.

I don't think there's any need to have everyone else near Deku's level, Deku being the Superman of this world doesn't mean everyone isn't going to get their moments and fights

No I don't need everyone to be near his level but I want everyone to get a Plus Ultra/Singularity (Bankai) Version of their quirk as to user in the new age of heroes and villians. The quirks becomes more complex but more powerful to compensate. It would all future fights super cool.

It might mean Eri might have a less powerful version of her quirk that she could learn to control slowly to build back to her old level of power more safely.

Funny thing is I don't think Deku's going to be super enthusiastic about trying to master all this stuff.
In the Gentle fight, he came up with some new strats and showed he had a pretty strong handle of One For All.
Ideally, he would have have preferred to just keep going down that track.

It was already a struggle in this department before this chapter. Well, unless you count training arcs I guess

I just don't like the idea of Deku potentially becoming EOS Naruto where he can literally do everything better than the people who specialise in that category

Its not series ruining for me it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth

It's a razor thin line Hori is walking here, and like BigWinnie is saying I do like the idea of the quirk singularity being this massive wave that's affecting everyone, not just Deku. I don't need them to be on Deku's level, I just don't want them left in the dust. If Deku's gonna get a gazillion quirks so be it, but don't let him get OP til like the very end Hori. Plskthx

Don't really see how this stops him from using his head. If anything this gives him more flexibitly in what plans he can come up with.
He can use his head all he wants I just find strategy plus a limited power set more compelling. It's like if Oda fully introduced haki and awakened devil fruit abilities 200 chapters into One Piece before Luffy even tried out the Gear system and hit a hard progression wall. Hori's smart so I'm sure he knows what he's doing but it has me worried.

If anything I'm more excited about the possibilities this could lead to. Outside of just having a more interesting and varied toolset, I'm also just interested in the stories we might get about the previous OfA holders.
