The timeframe fits since she's been killing people for around 2 or more years, Horikoshi seems to be giving to reasons why she has a crush on Deku so I can see him tying everything together by also giving more reasons to why she's obsessed with Stain
well stain originally spared shigaraki because he thought they could join forces so he isn't above working with another outcast
wasn't stain planning to go after shiragaki after he was done in hosu
Yeah that was after they started causing too much trouble with the Nomu, but before that he spared him because he saw him as someone who could be useful towards his goal
True but I can't see her being that much of a threat by herself. Just with how her quirk seems to work it doesn't seem terribly strong. I'd love to be proven wrong but I get the gut feeling that the fight will be over next chapter. And yeah the grunts are stronger than I expected them to be but I was more so referring to the top dogs of the Liberation army, a part of me is still worried that they'll be fodder for the LOV to use as a steppingstone.
Well I thought Kizuki was rather impressive with her strategy, she's not a pro hero or a well-known Villain, she's a book publisher, most of the people in this army probably just train their quirks on the weekends and have no experience in actual fights so the League of Villains should be dominating most of them, and looking at Toga's current situation you can say they aren't putting up a fight
The chapter ended with more of an impression that Toga is going to win, I believe next chapter is going to a Toga flashback
The fight could go in a thousand different directions, but I'm leaning towards Kizuki being defeated sooner rather than later. As cool as she is, it seems she is being served to prop up and give more information about Toga. Given everything else happening this arc any flashback can't be longer than a chapter at most, which leads me to believe Toga could take her down once she gets in.
I can see Toga's flashback taking multiple chapters like Kirishima's did
Oh I have zero problem with Kizuki's strategy it was actually pretty good, I was just hoping she would be more of a powerhouse but it doesn't really seem like she is.
Yeah I feel like she'll be taken down next chapter I can't really see this fight going on for a third one. Hope the other Liberation army top dogs got more going on for them as it really does feel like Kizuki was only being used as a way to tell Toga's backstory.
I think we'll get just one chapter on it, maybe two. But I also think we'll get more developement later. She's one of the more prominent members of the league
Yeah I could see that. Kizuki has such a great design it's a shame she's not more important, but yeah, I'm assuming she's the weakest of Destro's core group since she's fighting first
Kirishima got 2 chapters for just a confidence speech, Their a lot more questions for Toga's backstory that I don't think can be explained in one chapter like, the Izuku lookalike, where she got here skills from, and how she became a killer, also her family was also talked about last chapter
I'm also a fan of her design it's pretty good. I would hope she wasn't the weakest of the bunch but it seems likely that she is. On one hand if she does turn out to be the weakest than that possibly means that the other members are stronger and won't go down as easily. But on the other hand it's pretty disappointing for the single female character of the group to be so weak and beaten so quickly. Man the more we discuss this the more Kizuki is looking like a Lizard girl 2.0.
Well the thing about this fight is it seems like the fight isn't the focus, Kizuki's entire character seems to be made with the purpose of just getting exposition about Toga's backstory
Every character has there purpose in the story, if Kizuki purpose is to be a throw-away Villain at least she's making an important female villain grow and develop, I wouldn't say Horikoshi is bad at writing female characters, it's just a lot of them aren't important characters, a lot of male and female characters haven't gotten that much development in the cast mainly because the screen time is mainly focused on the Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo
Tokage exists since the start of the manga, she doesnt exist because of bakugo
As someone who's been wanting another prominent female villain for a long while now it would really disappoint me if that's all Kizuki amounted to being. I in general don't want any of the Liberation army to end up being like that. As crazy and unrealistic as this may sound I want them to get characterization as well instead of being just one note mooks for the LOV to face off against. And maybe I was harsh in saying he was bad with female characters, I guess it would be better to say that I find him to be rather subpar with how he tends to handle the female cast in comparison to the male cast.
Felt like in that instance she only existed to prop him up. Though who knows maybe he did have it planned out years ago.
While I do agree that the lack of female Villains is a problem I think looking at this point it's best to assume that all the top liberation army members are just stepping Stones for the league but I do hope Shigaraki by the end of this arc shigaraki can at least take over to army itself because I think the concept of them is at least the best part about them
I am making a lot of assumptions true, but I'm just going by previous examples. The strongest doesn't usually fight first
Best case scenario Destro's group continues to develop after this arc, becoming mini Kingpins.
They probably will end up being stepping stones but I hope at the very least there's more to them than just that. This only bothers me as much as it does is because I find them to be interesting especially Destro. Would be kinda neat to see how things would go if Shigaraki was able to somehow take control of the Liberation army by the end of the arc. Yeah I also used to think early on in the series that Ochako was going to be more prominent in the story but alas I was wrong. Hurts even worse as I'm a fan of her and the treatment she got during the overhaul arc and afterwards pissed me off so much, the one sided love stuff really didn't help either. I really do wish Horikoshi would give the female chracters in Class 1 A and other female characters as well bigger roles to play in arcs instead of minor ones like he constantly tends to do. It's because of how unimportant they feel in comparison to the male cast is why I find his treatment of them so subpar.
I'd like that but I can't shake the feeling that they'll be a one and done deal like Overhaul's group was, I hope this isn't the case. Yeah I also assume Destro won't job to bad and I think the hooded figure might not job hard either. Only guessing this as we still know nothing about that person and they could potentially be the secret weapon of the group, if there wasn't anything special with that character I feel like Horikoshi would have already revealed their design and name.
A case of a misspelling making things unintentionally hilarious. :P
Man I wish this would have happened instead of what we got. I can sorta tolerate their crush for one another when their both freaking out over each other, I find that kinda funny. Not so funny when it becomes one sided then it's just annoying.
Yet. Either he'll come to them or they'll go to him. No way he won't fight
You're probably right that they'll be one and done. That's another reason I'm hoping the league can take control over the Liberation Army, Deika City, or both. Give this arc some lasting impact for The League
Yeah it's really stalled her progress. Wish Hori would just have her admit it. You can only tease that shit for so long and it'd be legit interesting to have a shonen with main characters as an actual couple.
Has there ever been a Shonen that had the main couple be a thing before the end?
The fear people have of Ochako's crush is that it would continue to be written the same way it has been and still is
It might be your fear but it isn't the impression I get from most people
Absolutely does not count.
Chi-chi is the only responsible member of Goku's family damnit
Sure, but she's barely around. Doesn't really count as a "main couple" just cause she's married to the MC
