Cause since I stopped reading it, my mind seemed to have blocked out all the fan service from the series. I totally forgot about it until I talked to a friend about Fire Force. *sighs*
I'm really hoping the anime reduces them or if possible, outright skips them.
Fire Force started strong but tbh I feel like it went off a cliff pretty fast.
At the beginning it looked like it was gonna be an almost World Trigger esque "here is what everybody can do and we're going to follow these rules scrupulously to make interesting fights" and then it turned into basically any random Shonen complete with a harem and gratuitous fanservice for no particular reason.

I would have prefered to see this dude in the manga. Who knows though, maybe the second movie will be a proper step-up from the first.
She described how her quirk worked in the past. Now we later put her in a fight where she conveniently suddenly gains the ability to copy quirks. When I say rules, I'm not being super literal, I'm just saying that we've been told her quirk worked one way, and now all of a sudden it conveniently gets a huge boost out of nowhere when her life is in danger, because emotions. If she had it from the beginning, I wouldn't have taken issue with it.
I have minor gripes with Tsuyu's camoflauge as well, but overall the examples you gave have a noticeably different execution in that they trained for it, albeit off-screen, and had it revealed in an arc with virtually no stakes. They are also abilities that it makes sense one can train for. Toga copying quirks isn't something she trained to accomplish. (Not that I really think that would make sense anyhow, but that's another topic) People are handwaving her "evolution" because it fits their idea of what a shapeshifter should be theoretically capable of, which I don't disagree with. But it doesn't change that the execution was done through an asspull.
Hence why I say I'm not a fan of this concept that has been utilized repeatedly in this arc.
She's a serial killer with ninja-esque agility. I didn't agree when you said it before, and I don't agree now either. She had ample opportunities to learn about this. Given the context of their upgrades this arc, where the MLA are conveniently caught off guard despite their extensive info-gathering, its clearly something that has happened for the first time, not a scenario where all along she misinterpreted how her quirk worked. This latest chapter more or less spells it out even further.
Toga's copying quirks isnt any evolution tho, quirks are part of the DNA, Toga copies the DNA, it feels like a natural application of her quirk
Talking about "evolution", I wonder if it has anything to do with trigger. Shigaraki suddenly removing the limits of his quirk feels like it

I would say sneak killing someone isn't really a fight, civilians and school students probably don't show off their quirks that often, from her flashback we are to believe she started drinking human blood around 2 years ago, the people she's killed and transformed into are most likely civilians that don't show off their quirks, in the fight she says " I saw Ochako's quirk, I know how to use it", that not only implies that she needs to see how the quirk is used but also Ochako is one of the few people she has gotten blood from that she has seen how her quirk is used, Toga's quirk also has a time limit so it's not like she had time to experiment with one of her more important transformations she had limited time with
Kacchan being front and center in this next movie is gonna be spectacular
Huh, the movie villain being foreshadowed in the manga is interesting. More so because of the fact that Hori mentioned that he is gonna draw from his manga ending idea. I wonder if this movie will be a proper Canon setup to the real big bad after AfO.
Anyone good and salty about this yet?
Isn't that his quirk? They show him transfer quirks by touching those two dude in the flash back. He probably just has to touch people
Shigaraki and Twice more than anything to deserve to be number one and two after all the stuff they've pulled in this arc
Yeah but the people who vote don't understand that.
Look at Poor Mirio.
Yeah he totally deserved to be behind
...Seiji Shishikura...
...Ojiro...
...Present Mic...
...Yo Shindo...
...Gang Orca...
Nah man.
Gang Orca has a tongue that doubles as a tie he should be the most popular character in the series

God I hope Momo can stay in the top ten.
Maybe we should have a new poll too? We can only have seven choices though... Hmm.
Why not just have a poll through like survey monkey/strawpoll or some such? Have it be hidden that people have to quote to get the link.
Seeing how we're still in a Villain, how about favorite non-LoV villain, if not maybe favorite pro hero?
OP
OP
Nah, the less clicks people have to go through the better.
Ooh, I did want to make a poll like that before.
Seven options could be...
- Stain
- Overhaul
- Chronostasis
- Gentle Criminal (and La Brava?)
- Re-Destro
- Curious
- Skeptic
- Geten
EDIT: Wait, those are eight. Lol. My bad. That's one option too much.
Gentle, Overhaul, Stain and ReDestro are the only four that matter.
Henchmen, sidekicks and partners can be lumped into the organization's leader.
OP
OP
That's true, but I figured since there's enough space for a few more I should add some options.
Plus, I really like Geten, heh.
I would probably switch Chronostasis for Rappa since I do remember a lot more people liking Rappa during the Overhaul arc, Trumpet guy so far is the worst MLA member so I don't think anyone would complain
Not yet, but give it time. Bakugo triggers people
I can see Twice and Toga making it quite easily, idk about Shiggy.
Hope Hawks is still top 5. Expecting Kacchan to keep #1
OP
OP
I'd like to think Shigaraki and Twice will at least reach the top 10 list.

Merch news. They're getting Kotobukiya figures.
Pretty cool, though it's a shame it's season 1 Kirishima and Shigaraki.

Oh right, Rappa's pretty cool, a bit popular around here I think. I'll just remove Curious and Skeptic and replace them with him then. Unless anyone has other suggestions?

No anime means the rankings will barely change. I do think Todoroki has a chance to hit first tho, he was second with little to no focus in early season 3.
About the rest the top 3 will be the same, hawks might fall but not much. The other positions will change but I expect the same people

Mirio isnt even close to the top 10, Nejire has no chance
After six months I've finally watched the whole show from beginning to end. Is this the general consensus that S3 was the weakest? I felt a lot of the provisional licensing fights were a little boring, and nothing in the summer camp villain attack compared to the Stain or sports festival arcs from S2. That All Might vs. All For One battle was great though, and I did like - while it was a little short and cut up with too many flashbacks - the fight between Deku and Bakugo near the end. That move where he grabs Deku's shirt, spins around, then uses his flame to rocket the two of them down into the ground was dope.
I know S4 is airing in Oct is it a simuldub situation, or is there usually a gap between subbed and dubbed releases?

Generally people seem to agree with you on S3, though I think the season's highs made up for its lulls.
The anime starts simuldubbed then goes into a week delay about halfway through, generally.
I think people say the 1st half of the season is the best, 2nd half is probably the weakest arc in the series.
Ok cool cool.
I forgot to mention, amid my (minor) S3 complaints, I am really digging the show! It is pretty tropey and hardly ever subversive of them (at least in terms of plotting; dialogue will frequently call out and dunk on that kind of stuff) but I love it; it's fun and hilarious and has some really killer action. S2 in particular I binged in about a few days. Looking forward to what S4 brings. And apparently a new movie is on the way too.

Somehow this slipped my radar
What y'all think? He looks a lot better in motion, but I wish the game was more fun than it is

"What is Dabi's true identity?" poll results

OP
Second poll ran for a little over one month, ending today at July 9th. The winning vote's taken a larger share than Twice did in the last poll, but only by 2.6%, although there are only 90 votes this time around. There was 100+ in the first one.
Pretty cool to see that most people follow the same theory I'm following. I still think it can be the second or third options, though I think those are very unlikely. And I don't want them to be true either, lol.
Time for a new poll, and since we're still in My Villain Academia, it'll be villain-related once more. This time, who's your favorite non-League villain? Mine is Gentle by a long mile due to him being somewhat of a Robin Hood type of villain rather than the usual superstitious and cowardly variety. His use of his quirk was also one of the more exciting ways Horikoshi's displayed power use in the series, in my opinion. I wouldn't have ever thought of using an elasticity power to turn the air into a reflective barrier, for instance.
