Shounen with quality? What is this witchcraft?

I laughed so much for Noelles one shot. Like I know I asked for a good heroine in Jump, but I didnt ask for One Punch Man. Its probably the most amusing way to introduce a villain special perk. Usually, its like a typical no way, but this one was played by accident. That was fun. Charmy in a battle against art that I am amazed Tabata can keep up while having normal to less page count.

Six Quirks of OFA does make it too easy.

That panel with all Black Bulls members, aside from Yamucha I mean Finral, is something the series can pull off and make me believe their bonds.

Luckychi, you know where Im going with this...

Regardless of who did the saving, he needed to be saved. It's not resolved, as the predecessor said himself before disappearing. It was an obvious allusion that he's going to be tested in that measure going forward, and will struggle with it. And yes, he was having problems with Gentle before the girl used her quirk. It wasn't an easy fight for him. Regarding danger, not every struggle has to be life and death. Deku doesn't have to be on the verge of dying for it to count as a struggle. 

 

I'm with you if it turns out to actually be bad writing down the line, but to me, this opens up the road for Deku to develop on his own instead of having it taken away by enter-side-character-here. This is more exciting than anything we've gotten recently. To me at least. Of course, I'm not exactly confident that the author won't screw Deku over in favor of someone else, but that remains to be seen.

If you remember, Deku did his flick that ricochet and won. It's La Brava that basically gave him an extra round so to speak. I know not everything has to be life and death, but again, we are due for something new. The series has gotten too formulaic, so now it's time to freshen up a notch. Also, it hasn't been compelling since Hideout Raid Arc, which had a good amount of buildup to that moment. Here, it feels like couple of notes but not much to engage with the characters. It feels like a story driven series than a character driven yet it is not.

 

I don't find that as a compliment. It only tells me the series has been a snore-fest, only to give something "interesting" by a strange claim of set of power-ups. I see it more of "why" than impressed. Can I be wrong? Yes. If this arc happened after Hideout Raid Arc, I won't have doubts on Kohei's writing. After plenty of mishaps, including the future non-sense, I have so many reasonable doubts.

You think I randomly reacted? It's because of the recent chapter. We Naruto now.

Hey now. Many people overly prefer Ichigo and Rukia over the endgame. Dont act like you always knew the other one was the real deal, unless you are a fan. Anyway, SP does this, so it is the usual.

Smart move of Kishi. Have Samurai 8 consist only men, avoiding female cast at all cost. Well played.

Noelle is in the front cover for the next volume. You know, a heroine that is treated with respect.

How did this happen...

A long time ago, I poke fun of Noelle and called her an early Sakura. I didnt say that last part, but my mind wanted to write it down. In the other field, I praised Ochako and thankful for that one and only battle with Bakugo.

Now its the total opposite. This is just sad...

Oh and sweet chapter.

Well, it been ten years and from what coming down the pipe. Most of the big name characters ending because their actors are done to be replaced by their diversity replacement, and led by the new face of marvel that movie hasn't even come out yet. The movie will soon be in a similar position to the comic books

Um...

Taking the comment as a joke would be fine too.
