Double Agent w/ Cheese (My Hero Academia 191)

Traitor!!! No, wait…actor!!!

191a
Forgot the dab. Do the Dabi!

I overthought what Dabi would do. Instead of dropping drama bombs he just wanted to kill heroes. Oh, well. Could Dabi had taken down Mirko? Maybe, but he still had Hawks and who knows what else coming. Retreating was the smart play. But, the way Dabi escapes is most intriguing. The same teleportation quirk All For One had was used on Dabi. That can mean only one thing: The league only needs DNA to copy quirk powers. Which also means the league can cook up as many High End nomus as they want. Uh oh! So, who is Ujiko? My guess it’s the guy behind the nomu themselves, AFO’s doctor.

Cinnamon Toast Crunched (My Hero Academia 190)

How to be the Symbol of Peace? Use what you know and make it your own.

190a
Somewhere…Moonfish is having a panic attack.

There was a time Endeavor would’ve never imitated All Might. No Plus Ultra, no arm raised pose, was never going to happen. But, here we are. Endeavor did just that. So, what does that mean? I think it means Endeavor is ready to be the Symbol of Peace even if it means swallowing his pride. He did just that when asking Toshinori for advice and trying to (somewhat) patch things up with Shouto. He’s changing and surprisingly, it’s by choice!

Anyone Else Smell Burnt Ham? (My Hero Academia 189)

Spoilers for this week’s last page

Should I be subtle? Maybe, I should wait? Nah! I’ll say it now. I’m glad Endeavor is protecting people, but he’s still a crappy human being. That’s right, people are complicated and sometimes that includes our fictional heroes.

Going to miss you, High End. You almost won, but the power of team-ups can’t be denied. I’m sure others noticed that too and hero teams on a whole will increase. Sure, High End could escape, but that will send the public over the edge, not that it’ll take much anymore. Nope. Endeavor’s going out like a hero and you can’t be a hero in a superhero story unless you beat the villain. …Yeah, you can, but this is My Hero Academia. This ain’t a Neil Gaiman comic.

He’s Not Dead, He’s Sleeping (My Hero Academia 188)

Ohhhhhh, boy. Someone just dropped down the hero rankings.

endeavor02
Didn’t see that coming, huh?

Endeavor has been injured and quite possibly lost his eye. I feel so bad for him…is what I’d say if he wasn’t a shitty person. Yes, I get it. He’s trying not to be human garbage anymore but trying and being are two different things. I hope he dies. No, wait. If he dies he can’t apologize to his family. Please live Endeavor!

Visit Your Mommy, Dabi! (My Hero Academia 187)

rei00
I’m selling my story to TMZ

The Dabi=Todoroki theory is teased again. One of Shoto’s older brothers mentions Endeavors shitty treatment of Shoto, Mama Rei and one other but he decides not to talk further. No doubt he’s talking about the eldest Todoroki brother. Once again Hirokoshi is sidestepping any information regarding the first sibling. At this point is it even worth talking about this? Dabi is a Todoroki. I know it. You know it. Everyone in the fandom knows it. Let’s move on.

Where’s Cobra Commander? (My Hero Academia 186)

destro00
Before you ask, Yes. Tetsutetsu is my son.

Hawks is a laid back mofo but he gets the job done. Nice to see Destro and the quirk liberation ideology get mentioned. Has to be a lot of angry people in the world who can’t use their quirks. The price of freedom or government suppression, you decide.

Not much else happens. Endeavor pals around with Hawks who learn they’re some League shenanigans happening all over the country. Maybe. Either someone is spreading rumors or there are nomu factories all over the place. Think there’s one across my street. Would explain my new neighbor’s exposed brain. And, here I thought he was cosplaying, every day, for two months. Oh, well, live and learn.

Black Mist + Muscular=High End? (My Hero Academia 185)

Hawks is a jerk. The End.

"Get Hard" - Los Angeles Premiere - Arrivals
Already planning to put Mirko in my next video

What else is there to say? Everyone’s having a good time at the Top 10 Hero Billboard Awards. Drake, the number one music billboard artist, was going to perform and rumors circulated they’ll have free pizza and ice cream at the afterparty. Fun!

But, here comes Hawks talking about…what the heck was he on about? Heroes need to think outside the box? They need to give better speeches? Seriously, what’s going on with Hawk? Guess I’ll chalk it up to A.D.D.

Let’s get to the juicy part. Hawks wants Endeavor to help him with some suspicious activity happening in his neck of the woods. And Hirokoshi didn’t waste time showing us it’s all legit. Shigaraki (guessing it’s him) is talking to a nomu, and it talks back! We got talking Nomu, kiddies. A talking, thinking nomu, yikes! That means the new nomu can go on missions alone. Hmm…I wonder where’s he’ll go?

The World Needs More Twice Cosplayers (My Hero Academia 184)

It’s true, I searched. There are maybe three Twice cosplayers at max! And, yes, I get the irony of that number.

twice00
Twice’s opinion on Deadpool cosplayers.

Okay, chapter 184. Let’s begin with Eri and the surprise everyone predicted. Yes, readers, Eri is moving to U.A. I’m excited. We may get a chance to see her training to control her quirk as well as her interactions with other U.A. students. Bakugou meets Eri, yes, please! Speaking of Eri meeting people, where’s my Eri+Kota scene? Damn you, Horikoshi. You better not mess this up. I know the cuteness factor is a striking Mach 10 but it’s for the greater good.

Back to the Present? (My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Chapter 28)

knuckle00

Two things I want to talk about: Knuckleduster and the potential time skip.

Firstly, WHAT THE FUCK, KNUCKLEDUSTER? Really, dude? Did you just leave Koichi and Pop Step without saying goodbye? And, no. Leaving your dirty brass knuckles doesn’t count. That is some bull sized shit, buddy. I know you’re stressed right now with the whole almost dying when saving your possessed bee daughter from some mystery guy, but you never heard of Twitter? A text? A phone call? An Instagram pic holding up a piece of paper with “Goodbye” written in crayon covered in hearts? At least it looks like your daughter will be okay. Well, after she learns her mom died…

Secondly, we getting a time skip ya’ll! Knuckleduster’s arc is over. Koichi has become a true vigilante without Knuckledaddy, and Pop Step is more famous. Everything’s set for a time skip…but how far we talking?

Gentle Is Not A Villain (My Hero Academia 180)

hound00

Love? Not on our watch!

He’s selfish, but not a villain.

Gentle and La Brava’s reign of inconvenience is over. U.A. found them, but instead of putting up a fight they most likely couldn’t win (Gentle was already spent fighting Deku), they surrendered. What does that mean for the two? First things first, this won’t be the last time we see the duo. Horikoshi’s spent too much time and developed their characters too much to throw them away. Funny, I say that because I wanted more Gentle and La Brava backstory.

It’s never clear how Gentle became such a competent “villain”. He meticulously plans every situation, he’s mastered his quirk. Why can’t he be a hero? Was his screw-up trying to save the window washer too heinous? Do people need perfect records to become a hero? Clearly, Gentle has the talent to be a hero, what happened? Several things. The first:

Gentle’s hero school was shitty.
