I am not spinning a positive, it just what it is, the set up for her character arc has been happening since after her fight after Bakugo, sure it didn't start but Kirishima character arc also took until the Overhaul arc to happen despite it being set up since the first chapters
How do you define "Character arc" and what more, in regards to that, is it that you actually want out of Bakugo? Because I don't see how Ochaco is in a better position than Bakugo now (for me it seems like she's gotta catch up) character-wise so I don't quite get it.
In terms of character arcs bakugo goes from person who looked down on others to mask his insecurities, who build himself up as best thing ever and grew hatred towards Izuku because saw him as a inferior being that was trying to be on the same level as him, and right now he has changed to become someone who doesn't look down on others, holds some sort of respect towards Izuku, trust his teammates enough to rescue him which is something the old bakugo would have never done, and most importantly he's grown enough to accept his flaws, he no longer says he is the greatest but that he will become the greatest.
Yeah this is basically why I was confused.
You didn't actually answer my question but whatever.
Ohh. I finally get this reference. I fucking love it. Joseph! Was literally just talking to my brother about Joseph in Part 2 a little while ago.
Don't forget Shoji!! But yes, I'm very satisfied with all the showings these characters have had, including the aforementioned secret best character and Ojiro. You're right about Tsuyu too of course, and that dropkick and the camouflage will always be some of my favorite moments in the entire arc but she's still a boring character for me... At least she's adorable and kicks ass. Somewhat related: we might get translations for her costume page from Audrey soon!
I have to agree. I can't imagine anything at the moment, so I hope we're wrong and Horikoshi will give us some better writing for Bakugo's side of the story fairly soon. I think what we'll be getting soon (or whenever the next Bakugo stuff will be) will be about One For All, though, so that's at least exciting with regards to the main story and its history.
Oh damn! Went to the bookstore in search of Black Torch vol. 1 today (got it! <3) but also browsed the MHA books. Didn't see this one yet. I hope it'll arrive soon! Me needs my hands on that cover!
My Hero Academia Volume 16: Red Riot is out today in English.
Please support the official release!
Absolutely love this cover. One of my favorite depictions of one of my favorite characters (and seeing that "Red Riot" is the volume title gave me chills). You just know thiskidman can't give up! Suneater and Fat Gum look great as well. Also I only noticed today that they don't slap a big fat number on the volume covers, just a small one in the top left lol. Looking forward to reading this again, love these fights to death. The Fat Gum Agency fucking showed up in that arc!
I agree in that currently, we can do a lot with Uraraka's desire to change and grow and steer away from her feelings for Deku. Lots of great stuff that I hope Horikoshi will be able to pull off well and give us a satisfying payoff. Given how well he handled Endeavor's story so far, others might be inclined to have more faith, but with how Horikoshi's handled most of his female characters so far, I'm being cautious.
Been curious about that one. I'll probably pick it up once all the volumes are released since it's pretty short.
I think there's only the top left thing maybe to emulate American comics.
Oh, so you knew, huh? I only just found out earlier that it's been cancelled... I'm fucking gutted, man. I really liked it when I read the first chapter or two back then, but rereading that first chapter tonight got me really excited for the story and art (good god do I love it) only to find out it's been cancelled already... *sighs* At least I won't have to spend too much on it. I wish I could, though, lol.
Dude, stop. Stooooop. You don't need to shit on Bakugo to make some point about Uraraka. Kohei just hasn't cared lately.
Hello and welcome! Glad to see a new poster who's super enthusiastic about the series! <3 The Endeavor/High-End fight is easily one of my favorites in the entire series. I love how creative Horikoshi got with the entire fight, using Endeavor's new suit to create additional thrust for his Jet Burn attack, weaving a web of Hellflame to slice apart an entire building, Prominence Burn, and then finally having Hawks sacrifice some of his feathers in order to help Endeavor defeat High-End. So many amazing moments. Speaking of which, Hawks' admiration for Endeavor is one of my favorite things in the series.
Holy shit. This is... wow. I love it. I kind of want it to be true? Damn, this would be so interesting! I was just wondering some time ago about how the first wielder even discovered the ability to pass it on, and that it needs his DNA. If he accidentally spit on someone and passed it on to them, that makes sense. Dumb, but reasonable explanation for its discovery. That's impossible though, since OFA can only be consciously passed on, as willed by its user. That means the original wielder specifically had it in his mind to pass it on. Somehow he knew about it.
Yeah I felt weird when I found out it was cancelled too. But as you said, at least we won't spend too much on it.
Welcome! I love your avatar!
Same
I don't expect this to be true but there's certainly more to learn about the first user.
Same!
It isn't shitthing on Bakugo, it is just like some don't like the direction Uraraka went after her fight in the sports festival, I didn't like the direction his character went after his fight with Deku. Also I have been vouching for Uraraka potential way before disliking what is happening with Bakugo
I really wanted to post this again earlier today but didn't want to double post but now I can!!!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This still annoys me cause it still feels like this bit gets cut short. Still, one of the most hype moments in all of the OPs so far. Actually, probably the most. Oh shit, I just realized. OP6 or OP7 is most likely gonna have Lemillion vs. Overhaul or some bits of it. Hoooly shit. Greatness awaits.
Oh wait, really? I immediately assumed it was whining about him again, lol. Guess I should've checked it out first.
I hope the former is only for when people are expressing sadness over how he's apparently being completely wasted and whatnot. Better to express disappointment than spending time and energy being mad at a character. Unless the expression of disappointment becomes equally excessive...
Same!!!!!! Two things I liked about this fight was that 1. Endeavour is amazing at One Liners. "Plus Ultra Prominence Burn", " Just watch me", and " Burn and rest for all eternity" are AMAZING and just ooze confidence. 2. And other was that the dude actually grew in both character as well as strength in this very fight. In all other fights in MHA, people usually grow stronger but Endeavour actually changed his attitude to many things like working together and using "Plus Ultra"... Probably second only to Todo vs Midoriya
It's a lot of whining based on how much people love him. Lost count of the number of "bad/shit taste" declarations
Well at least you're watching it again.
Damn that's weird. I've had many problems with the new site but nothing with Watched list.
Outside of the speed/stability after the update all the problem's I've had are with the watched list, haha. (I'm not the only with that specific problem as well).
Maybe. And I don't dispute that there are interesting views to be had on disliking Bakugo, as with any other character, and I've seen such in this thread multiple times in the past. It's why for the most part I enjoy discussing Bakugo here, whether it be with people who like him, dislike him or anything in between.
Yeah. Really no point in addressing those who are never willing to change their minds, no matter what happens with the character or the story.
I'm getting this problem as well, so at least it's not just me. This thread is technically still being watched so looks like it's just a small bug.
