It most likely going by sports series logic. There will be 2 wins each side and the last one will be decesive battle.


So the question is who loses between bakugo or shoto?

Well, there's nothing in stake whatsoever, but if I have to choose, I guess Bakugo to get something going. It's been a while.

Probably Shoto. Bakugo is the creator's pet after all :ermm: Plus If Bakugo loses it'd be 2-1 wins , unless it is not following the win-lose, win-lose, win scenario.

 

Anyway I know nothing is at stake, and who wins or loses means nothing, but for the characters that I like that lost, well I hope the writing makes it up to them later when they become key players to actually fighting villains. Especially Momo

I wasn't asking, though the above does suggest I was. Sorry for that. My intention is asking the writer to make me care. It's not matter of asking many characters to have a screen time or backstory. It needs a hook to begin with. As of now, there's only three characters that gets focus as major characters: Deku (protagonist; dealing with "dreams"), Bakugo (on standby; last known: his battle with Deku 2), and Shouto (family issue; Dabi highly suggestive to be part of that mix). It's Naruto plus one (Naruto and Sasuke). The ratio only increases when the series introduce more characters to the scene. I jokingly said, "Seeing the batch of cast is like seeing new victims in the next war; the problem is they won't die, so I have to know them." It's because there are too many. It is possible to handle more than 5 characters without making them overstay their welcome, and this series once held that. I guess watching the anime in its heyday was a mistake on my part.

 

Oh okay, then yeah I get that. Unfortunately though this is a shonen manga/anime, so it unfortunately follows the typical shonen formula. If you are not a main character nor BECOME a main character you get sidelined and ultimately get reduced to a cheering squad in the plot important fights or written out completely. You can have fights and focus but again if you are not main character status the fight and character development don't matter. I am hoping that Horikoshi will subvert this eventually when they graduate high school, but the signs don't look good :ermm:

That's the irony. It has nothing in stakes, yet the showcase of these characters still matter, so losing means something. It hurts more with no real background aside from Tokoyami, just he can pull off Super Mario World Cape Power. The next couple of teams don't matter much since it's with "main characters." It's like we already get them enough before, so why not give others the rub. This is like wrestling, where the company failed to see a star that is growing huge with the fans and keeps pushing forward with ones that already established, for better or worse.

It didn't have to follow like others. Actually, that's one of the many problems I have with this series, but next time. It's not like I ask for side characters to get more screen time, but if you're going to use them, do more with them.

Which is disappointing because Bakugo is the most irritating character in the series. Frankly, I'd like for him to become a villain in the end.

but doing more with them requires more screen time. not enough to take the spotlight but still, and yeah the supporting characters need more going for them but maybe it won't happen yet until they graduate I hope that happens.

 

And yeah it is copying other shonen series when it doesn't need to. It has the potential to break the mold and be unique but it's not doing that so far. I'm just hoping that it happens when the entire class goes pro. Well I hope both classes go pro actually

This chapter we have a flashback. Endeavor apparently tried passing on his strongest technique to Shoto, and before that his eldest son Touya -who had stronger flames then even his father but had an accident that Endeavor blamed on him inheriting his wife's weak constitution-.

Thanks for reminding me of how the coolest guy ever is the coolest guy ever after coming back from "redemption."

 

So not only the obvious plot twist is more apparent than ever, but it's already setting up for Shouto to be the best out of all kids. Thanks. I guess I don't need tension.

Anyone else think this weeks chapter all but confirmed that Dabi is indeed Touya? One of the biggest arguments against it was always that Dabi has blue flames that are more intense, so he couldn't be the weaker older brother, but this chapter counters that argument by explaining the situation. Touya is similar to Deku in that sense, both have more strength than their body can handle, and inherited the power from someone who were almost perfect vessels for the power.

Its not rocket science at this point. Honestly, I hope Kohei doesnt play off as the greatest plot twist because its Resident Evil 5 level of obvious.

Well he could do a Anti-Kishi, by heavily hinting at this, and then actually making him out to be someone else completely.

I thought it was obvious from the moment we learned he had flame powers. Endeavor had three kid before Shouto with his parenting it isn't a surprise if one of them became a villain and the evil counterpart to Shouto. It something that happens in stories  like this, and honestly often needs to happen.

He could though how much good that would do. It should have been exposed already.

YES!!! (It may not reach One Piece levels of popularity and top charts... yet, who knows in the next couple of years) Congrats to Horikoshi-sensei and the team!

 

Hopefully, the franchise will be very successful worldwide ala Pokemon, Dragon Ball, and *sigh* Naruto. Two Heroes crushed its box office debut in the US (passed Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F numbers). So I'm very happy for the franchise that it made it to the top 3!

It didn't pass Resurrection F numbers debut, let alone the overall. Just want to correct this.

 

Also, hard to say. The backlogs was strong this year, but like The Seven Deadly Sins, it could only be a one-time moment in shine. Unless Shueisha goes  hard and put all stocks on MHA next year over One Piece with a film and game on the horizon and USA fans migrants to Japan, it's hard to say if it would ever pass the titan. The momentum, we just have to wait and see.

Apparently, due to a delay, One Piece only had 3 volumes instead of the usual four this year. 

 

Attack of the Titans does seemed to be nearing it end unless something happens once they deal with Marley.

 

Seven Sin was in last years as well. Souma dropped off from 9th last year. Tokyo Ghoul went from 5 to 10.

 

it nice to see this doing so well.
