Hori is buying time to think of an actual plot for the villians by slowing the pace down to a halt. Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't reach 250 chapters since its so bland

Actually it's the new Naruto

It started off strong, but it'll start going downhill around chapter 500+

Bleach went to shit pretty quickly (after the rescue Rukia arc)

>>159750188
Has a more summer thread ever been posted?

>>159750536
People still parading this meme I see?

>>159750188
Popular shounen manga are controlled entirely by their editors. The mangaka doesn't have the luxury of creative control or agency, particularly because they're on such a strict drawing schedule they literally don't have time to plan scenario or narrative and still get the drawing gruntwork done. They're just slave illustrators to their publisher and editorial goons, who decide the story well ahead of time based on strict, universally applicable narrative templates and the outcome of popularity polls/sales numbers.

If you wonder why all shounen seems the same after a while, this is why. They all literally follow the same general story outline, because that's what the editors are precedented with as "this sells to our target audience." The directionless stalling periods in the serialization's life are just a period where the sales are exceptional and the publication wants to coast on that success without risking any demographic shifts by advancing narrative or characters meaningfully. The worst thing they could do is tell their story and then run out of story to tell while the series is still making good money, so they'll stall until popularity begins to wane, then push forward major progress to reacquire interest. Standard commercialized writing.

Please have some self-awareness when you consume a literal children's comic book story produced to sell volumes of the children's magazine it's published in.

>soul eater
You're joking right? SE had no fucling direction throughout its run and Ohkubo was just making shit up as he went along

>>159750709
Soul Eater 's fate is pretty comical. Editors didn't think the series had the right stuff to be popular the way they wanted it to be, but recognized it had public attention after the anime. They pushed the mangaka to do Not! because they thought they could capitalize on 'the moe trend' (a great buzzword spewed by every out-of-touch marketing professional in the industry that doesn't understand their target audience at all) instead. The split focus and editor meddling mangled the main series and very quickly killed interest off while Not! missed the mark completely. The two wallowed in mediocrity and declining popularity together until they decided to 'end' (read: cancel) the main series just to get it out of the way.

Soul Eater is a case study in how not to capitalize on the sudden popularity of a work.

The story is shit because they don't have time, yes, but also because the mangaka is usually a bad storyteller. Not because the editor/publisher decides the story for him.

I get really bad vibes from this manga, it's kind of funny how the writer can't make an iconic design for deku, like naruto, luffy, or even ichigos original design.

This shit reminds of me of all the shitty new designs ichigo kept getting, then getting thrown in the trash.
It may seem minuscule to plebeians but being so flip floppy and unable to create a single solid iconic design is extremely amateurish of the mangaka, it's really poorly written and conflicts feels so forced and just because, I always life when people try to pretend it's a big three contender.

I feel like he wasted all his creative energy on All Might and Bakugou.

>>159751527
>all this shit came after a while in naruto
Nope there were present even in Part I, after the Chunnin Exam there was way less focus on side characters and this is where power scaling went out the window (how is it that jounin class ninja got defeated by genin class ninja without even using their cursed form?)

>>159750188

The Ballroom kid is like that, the Love Zombie kid too, it's all the same shit. Not that shonen was ever notorious for the diversity in MCs, but at least the others had either interesting powers or good designs, Deku has nothing.

None these character designs were meant to be iconic (I'm not even sure why you brought up Ichigo other than you being stupid) they became that way due to popularity hell people hate Naruto's design because it looked nothing like a traditional ninja.

>It may seem minuscule to plebeians but being so flip floppy and unable to create a single solid iconic design is extremely amateurish of the mangaka
Hey dumbfuck, designs are never made to be iconic in mind they become so with popularity. You can say Luffy's design is iconic NOW because the manga is 20 years old you wouldn't be saying a strawhat and a vest is iconic when OP was three years old.

Nigger are you dumb? He's clearly setting things up. We came off that hype as fuck AfO fight. Build the deku/Baku relationship with their fight. Now he's setting up what shiggy and co are doing. Also clearly showcasing how bad things are with all might gone. Even "normie" yakuza thugs are making a big comeback. Im personally enjoying how he's fleshing out these side characters. It's pretty clear he knows where the story is going, from chapter 1 it's been said this is Dekus journey to become the #1 hero. Sorry you're an idiot.

It started off as a generic shonen manga with no identity outside the good art. It was only after the first sports festival when things truly started to get interesting

He lived because of Deku. When he pointed at th camera to direct the message and pass on his torch to Deku was great.
Everyone watching the live broadcast cheering Al Might on was great. All for One wanting to crush the hope of the people by trying to kill him was great.

The conversation All Might had with All for One in the prison gave an insight to what those two characters were. And It showed All Might in his Hero costume, all deflated, clearly a role not fit for him anymore and it was all interesting to see because he lived.

Wouldnt be a BnHA thread without shitposters asking for (you)s in stead of making an argument.

Why not join a discord so you can hate circlejerk the manga? Or better yet go in 2ch they seem to autistically hate it as much as yoy do.

Honest question, how is Bakugou so popular? He's an entitled little shit with his only redeeming quality being that he genuinely wants to become a hero, which he shares with everyone else.

Is it simply a matter of having more exposure than most other characters?

>>159753764
Why do you assume that I'm the one who have to make an argument, actually? You haven't made any either. I can just say what I think of your first shonen and leave you with your shit tastes. It's not like I'm missing out pn anything.

>>159753686
>why don't you move to reddit where the hugbox you try to make here already exists ?

The main reason shonenfags moved here is because here they don't have any form of accountability.
If you say stupid shit on reddit, as typical as it is, you do so under an username that tracks any stupid shit you say.
And shonenfags, by their nature, say a lot of stupid shit.

>>159754157
Good point, I do enjoy flawed characters as long as they mess up, have to face the results and are forced to grow from the experience. I just don't feel like Bakugou really went through that.

I mean, he blames himself for getting kidnapped and All Might's subsequent depowering, but I feel that's less him messing up and more him making everything about himself. He did fail the test for the Provisional Hero Licence, so maybe that'll be the trigger to his growth.

But for now, he just seems like an overpowered jerkass.

>>159752798

>>159751353
>>Massive power inflation

Fuck I hated this shit so fucking much. Remember when Sasuke and Naruto had to put their heads together and think of a strategy just to make Zabusa's move 2 feet? That shit actually made sense.

If current day Kishimoto wrote that scene, Naruto and Sasuke would have unleashed their gen-zen-tai-ninjutstu special attack teamwork beam and just killed Zabusa or have him escape saying something like 'wow these novice ninjas are so strong someone like me who's been doing it for years can't even compete to these two chosen ones!' I'd say the tipping point was Naruto v Sasuke right before Shippuden. Their fight was essentially 'MY SECRET POWER AGAINST YOUR AAAAAAHHHH' with no strategy whatsoever. Besides Shikamaru's fights, everything else was just 'who is the faster/stronger japanese wizard'.

>>159755191
>And you can't say he worked for it, he never trained until he had OfA as a carrot.

That's the point though. His entire life was full of people telling him 'you can't amount to anything, just give up'. Even his mom was telling him he can't achieve his dreams. And even then he still had his aspirations to be a hero. It wasn't about his hard work at that point, it was about his heart and determination. Then the top hero in the world straight up told him 'you can do it' and he worked harder than anyone else. He even outworked the top hero in the world's workout schedule just to be able to get a quirk.

>>159755191
>He got lucky that he met All Might.

That sets the premise for the plot. It was necessary to have a story. Also it doesn't matter if their encounter was based on "luck". It's a pointless statement.

>And you can't say he worked for it
He did, and still is.

>>159754776
>Cops are something only weak little bitches pick as a career

If you want super squadron militarized cops watch Jin-Ro or Panzer Cops.

In a world of superheroes being a career, what makes you think cops can compete in peace keeping.

Hell, even the yakuza family trade has almost died out because super villains have taken over the underworld in the story's setting.

>>159750337
>First chapter literally tells you what the story is about and its end goal
"MC reaches the intangible, subjective goal of becoming the best" is neither plot nor direction.

>>159752945
>they're entering the world of mass murdering villains and superheroes who put their lives on the line every single day
>nobody dies to drive home the fact that they're not fucking around as kids, they're in the adult's world

While I don't think that death is the only way to build drama, it's kinda hard to convince me that they're in danger when nobody has died. I know they've come close to doing it, but until someone actually dies, I feel as though everyone just has plot armor and there's no suspense.

I don't think this arc will result in any of the UA students dying, and if I don't think that, what's the point in putting them in grave danger? What's the point of building suspense with a massive raid when I don't feel a sense of worry for them? It was like in Naruto to where the only person of the 'young generation' or whatever they were called to die was fucking Neji at the very end.

>>159755191
He's been trying all these years to get to UA
WITHOUT A QUIRK
He jumped into battle to help someone
WITHOUT A QUIRK
He still believed in his dreams of becoming a hero
WITHOUT A QUIRK

All Might just thought "Hey, this kid has a great heart, no inflated ego from having an OP quirk, and dedication. If he can prove himself worthy of my power physically (because he already has mentally) then he'll be perfect."

And he pretty much is. He still even thinks he's not worthy of the power even though he's growing so much for it. His modesty and humility are definitely his best qualities.

>>159756320
I think that that's coming. If I was a mangaka I'd try to develop the characters as much as I could before they died (and not some shitty flashback 2 chapters before their death) to make the emotional impact the strongest.

Mark my words, someone in 1-A will die in this arc or the next.

The plot is seeing the main character become the best and starting from having no quirk.
When you watch a prequel there is still a plot even though you know how it's going to end by watching a later movie.
Whatever part of a timeline the story is set in it still has a plot and direction is what the author will do to get there.

What you are trying to say, that a story with a set end goal does not have a plot, is completely nonsensical.

Fuck you /a/ now I fucking hate this story.

>>159756348
>He's been trying all these years to get to UA
By never training his body? I honestly don't recall that part, but if I remember right he only had his notebook.

>He jumped into battle to help someone
And yet in the same chapter he's a spineless faggot who bow before Bakugou, zero reason for him to suddenly grow a pair. But it's standard shonen MC stuff so I get it

>He still believed in his dreams of becoming a hero
A dream he never worked toward

>>159756348

You are inserting your own desire to have a quirkless hero. That itself would be unrealistic in this world unless you want a Batman/Tony Stark archetype. Then we would have people like you bitch about "he can only get so far because he has a power suit/money/convenience to make his feats possible in a crazy world.

Deku doing heroic things without a quirk and with not much control when he does get a quirk is to show what he is willing to sacrifice to save someone. That's it. That's all there was to it for the first chapter.

All Might likes this about him and decides to take him under him and pass on his own power. It's a quality he did not expect from someone who is quirkless when even people with quirks like Kirishima cowered in middle school againts a threat bigger than him.

>>159751282
Jesus, those black knee/elbow pads are hideous.

>>159756487
There isn't a defined standard for "becoming the best hero". We don't know what this goal consists of, and maybe even the author doesn't yet.

>>159756764
Yes there is, having the highest saving rate among all heroes and defeating evildoers.

>>159756733
>That itself would be unrealistic in this world unless you want a Batman/Tony Stark archetype
Doesn't the spinoff manga have a quirkless hero?
Can you honestly say that you're concerned with things being realistic when almost everyone has a superpower and somehow society barely changed?
Also I'd remind you that one guy accepted at UA just has a fucking tail as his quirk. And judging by the feats characters like Stain pull people without physical quirk can still get pretty strong.

>>159756916
He's a peak performance human who can't legally become a hero so he became a vigilante that can only goe face to face with petty villains

>>159756996
He still beats up villains with quirks, right?

>>159757022
yes but at a lower scale than a licenced hero. You see the difference in strength when Aizawa curb-stomps all the initial villains that the buff old man was facing againts to regular people with quirks

>>159756764

Also it's crucial to have a license to be considered a hero in this world

>>159756278
>MC reaches the intangible, subjective goal of becoming the best
There's literally a ranking of the world's top heroes.

Personally i hope Shigaraki does manage to make the hero society of BHNA crumble because frankly heroes should be about helping pepole and not inflating their own blown egos. I hope Deku and the next generation help reform the hero system.

The inflation in power is monumental.

>>159757267
There's actually a pretty good reason for this since the world went through a whole "We have superpowers, WE SHOULD RULE THE WORLD" phase and nobody wants people using Quirks recklessly.

It hasn't lost the fun style or charming characters yet, so that alone makes it not Bleach. Bleach's biggest problem wasn't that the story turned to shit (though that wasn't good), but that it lose the appeal it had in the beginning. As long as he can keep the characters likable and the style enjoyable, even shit arcs will be decent.

>>159756278
There's an objective ranking system for the heroes though. It's also introduced almost immediately alongside ALL MIGHT. If you're going to hate something, at least base your criticisms off of actual content, not shit you've invented because you can't be bothered to watch even one episode/read a handful of chapters.

Pretty much all of them aside from Deku. Even Bakugou is likable in a cunty kind of way. If you don't like them then I guess that's fine, but obviously most do so what's the purpose of you chimping out over it? Just hide BnHA threads and don't consume this particular series, it's that easy.

Considering Deku do like 75% of the things that matter on his own in the manga and suggest 20% more I really have trouble seeing why people like them.

Sorry I dropped this right after the author backed out of All Might's death and you went from "Wow he's actually going to kill him, get hype this is All Might's last dance, who wanna bet he'll show up again in Deku's mind" to "10/10 the author is a genuis killing him would've been too cliché everyone can see that"

But in the ~90 chapters I read the secondary cast was pathetic and their only use was to follow Deku's order so if your only point is stuff that happened in the last three months I wouldn't know.

Bullshit. Oda actually put thought into Luffy's quirk and settled for a rubber man because it would still look goofy even in tense situations. And when Oda want to make Luffy more powerful he has to comes up with gears, haki and how to mix them.

Deku's quirk is literally just super strength, with the originality being that he can't control it well at first (to no consequences anyway, but you can't really expect a manga about an handicapped MC, pic related flopped after all). All his power boost comes from him learning to use that power, but functionally, he's not going to do anything else than punches/kicks/headbutts.

Remind me who destroy the psycho villain trying to kill the kid, who lure Black Shadow to the guys with quirks able to produce lights (if I remember right, it also led to the villain with long teeth getting knocked out), and who suggest the set-up to catch the Magician?

An all Luffy does is punches people. What's his new secret move? Punch people. What does he do when that fails? Punch harder.

Its a stock retard he can either life several times his weight, leap tall buildings or have acceleration.

The fights in OP has become very very sloppy and Oda doesn't seem to want to draw any fight but Luffy's or ends tertiary characters fights quickly or make them into jokes.

>>159760417
This so much. His shoes are fly as absolute fuck.

>People thinking BnHA is Big 3 material
Hell no.

The thing with this series is that it came at the right time when Naruto went full fanfiction and Kubo dropped Bleach and said "fuck this, I'm tired of this manga, let's just do whatever and be done with it" so people needed their shonen dose besides One Piece (which has been shit since Impel Down).

I hope it gets better, because it has potential and a setting that could last for a longass time if it prints money, but it needs to improve in a lot of things besides the fights and the power levels not going full retard. The world isn't interesting, villains are garbage and one dimensional and the pacing sucks.

>>159760330
His shoot style upgrade to that costume looks pretty cool, but that mask is still fucking stupid. At least remove the bunny ears.

>>159760445
>Who suggest the strategy to bring Stain down?.
Not him, there was actually no strategy they just needed to knock him out
>So you agree that it was Bakugou's fault for losing the exam since he didn't listen to Deku
Both of their plans didn't work; Deku wanted to run but All Might caught up with them and Bakugou wanted to fight but he got destroyed. In the end they managed to barely pass.
>Remind me who destroy the psycho villain trying to kill the kid
Was literally inconsequntial to the whole thing
>who lure Black Shadow to the guys with quirks able to produce lights
They literally bumped into them.
Now then. Who saved all the students that were caught in the gas attack? Who actually saved Tokoyami from being caught? Who dragged Deku about when he couldn't move his body from overexerting himself? That's what I thought.

>>159760328
>I'd say MHA has better art but OP has better fights, does that make sense?

Yes, Luffy is always going to punch people, but unlike Deku, he can do it in different ways. And all his new moves

You really have to be a complete fanboy to deny that the amount of thought put into Luffy's and Deku's powers is even remotely equal.

>Oda doesn't seem to want to draw any fight but Luffy's or ends tertiary characters fights quickly or make them into jokes.
Dressrosa had plenty of fights not involving Luffy, and while I haven't read the last chapters I think it's a group fight with Luffy in it.

Anyway you complain about Oda ending fights quickly but Hori does it, but it's less important because the fights don't matter anyway.

>>159760761

It's literally just different variations of the same fucking punch. Also Deku doesn't just punch he uses every extend of his body to unleash OfA from his fingers to now his legs to where he figures out that he can spread it all throughout his body.

>You really have to be a complete fanboy to deny that the amount of thought put into Luffy's and Deku's powers is even remotely equal.

The only lack of direction is that there are too many characters and Hori keeps adding more. Adding Inasa to the hero license exam arc was unnecessary, with Todoroki already sperging out over his past in the sports festival and Inasa just being a mix of already existing characters. While Hori can keep the manga going by going into the background of characters, going into Kirishima's background in the last two chapters just seemed like stalling actual new content

This is the dumbest criticism I always see. The purpose of adding characters is to build up the world around them. Obviously not all of them will get immediate action/background scenes. Oda does the same goddamn thing. These characters fuck off to do their own thing while the MC and co do theirs and will likely have converging stories in the future. It makes the world seem more alive and not entirely revolve around the protagonist and his group

It's got a huge cast that we barely get to know and now we only see them when they're fighting.

Naruto kept the cast small at the start. Negima took a long time introducing most of the the class before it went into a full battle manga. BnHA chose the worst combination.

What the fuck are these faggots even arguing about? OP and BNHA are two completely different stories.

You realise that you are the reasons BnHAfags are one of the most cancerous communities on /a/, right?

the whole Itachi-Sasuke dynamic is distilled stupidity. It can be boiled down to:
>I did this for the greater good of the village, lil bro. And I couldn't bring myself to kill you because I love you so much, now live your life (sike, I'll depart while making you obsessed with me! get stonger and chase me you weakass)

>>159750188
Not really. Bleach had a stronger start, was an almost 1:1 rip-off of YuYu Hakusho and the character art didn't really look that great until later on in the series. The most memorable thing about Bleach was Kubo's asspulls. I'd also say zanpakutoh are a nice balance between "limited fighting style we all do" and "crazy individual bullshit," with a dramatic way of activating them. Bleach had one good saga in it and it was just on Repeat after that. There are some shining moments later on, but they're surrounded by shit.

My Hero Academia doesn't have a strong start. It started off feeling like the author didn't expect it to be popular, at all. It does have very striking character art, though, perhaps the best of any battle shounen. Speaking of which, while it's not a 1:1: rip-off, it is HEAVILY inspired by almost every battle shounen that came before it. The most obvious, and it can be obnoxious when you notice it, is Naruto, but if you can suffer through the first year's worth of chapters, you'll realize the series actively satirizes/subverts Naruto characters and scenes. Once the series really kicks in, it starts resembling Hunter x Hunter more. The series does suffer from something serious, though, and it's not direction or character deaths, it's that Horikoshi doesn't know how to fatten the chicken, so to speak. Every time a conflict arises...someone solves it. Wow. Okay, and then we move on as if it didn't matter at all. Part of this is the series being centered around a school which hinders longer, detailed plots (kids have to go to bed at night and wake up for school every morning) and another I think is the hero/quirk system's limitations. What I mean by the latter is, Hori needs to get really fucking creative with every random asshole he introduces, and the more time he spends on that, the less he spends on the story. I think he wants to be like Oda, but Oda didn't START OFF batshit crazy, it was a process.

I disagree that Deku is an overall bad protag but I think you're right. All he had going for him before All Might actually pushed him to work for it was a goo attitude. And even then he was incredibly lucky to meet All Might altogether.

Something that wouldn't have gotten him into a hero school.

You mean years ago, before he was bullied and did nothing about it. How exactly do you justify a character either being a coward or courageous depending on whether it advances the plot or not?

>>159760330
Im liking the new costumes, each one is better than the last and i think that's the point. at the start of the series deku is obsessed with all might and his costume reflects it. as time goes on i'm confident his costume will represent the independence he has gained from all might. and hopefully the ears will go at that point. keep in mind when deku first used his costume it was meant to be the worst of the bunch, a lot like he was when he started, his suit is a symbol for his as a hero and its improving with him.

>>159756707

I can't tell if this is a series statement or not. Fairy tail and TLR are pretty much the only fanbases on /a/ that don't defend their series. Even bleachfags at the end got mad when people shat on their series.

No, I'm sorry I hear your opinions and all but you're wrong. A good attitude wasn't "all he had going for him." He has this impulse to do what's right and does work. I can't find the logic behind disliking his character and question what traits you do find valuable.

You realize there's a test application that involves hero knowledge to get into UA right? Of course, you didn't Spee D. Reader

>>159763590
>We saw with the Kirishima's flashback that all applicants for UA don't start training until months before they take the entrance exam.
You'd think that Deku would try to compensate considering he has no quirk

>You're complaining about nothing now
A character changing from being a coward to being brave in a couple hours is nothing? Weird.

>Hence why he studied every single hero available despite having no quirk?
Yes, just like how studying every athlete gets you into a sport team.

>>159763659
>And does work
Anon, this kid is a hero otaku and devotes his himself to learning a shit ton about them, but in his quest to become a hero despite his handicap, he doesn't attempt to at least pursue excellent physical form? Did meeting All Might really need to be the thing that got him to at least work out? Did he really not expect any physical effort in the test tl become a fucking superhero? I love Deku, and his attitude is admirable, but his beginnings are kinda fucking dumb. He put no realistic effort into becoming a hero before All Might entered his life.

>>159763746
>I also realize there's a physical exam test.
So why did you say him studying on heroes was worthless and that he didn't try at all?
>Avoiding the question
I'd rather not delve into a psyche of an individual calling the MC a faggot because he wasn't an alpha male as a child.

I have to admit BNHA is very boring when compared to other shonen manga/anime. It has too much slice of life as well as padding. Sure a "villain" pops up ONCE a season but even then they're aren't all that epic.
Also the MC Midoriya is taking his sweet ass time learning to control his power.
I wouldn't be so negative when it comes to this but he literally does nothing for episodes and then fights/practices once and levels up.
I want to see young midoriya killing himself to perfect his power. I want episodes upon episodes of him training. I don't care if the "main plotline" advances. I want to see HIM advance and fight.
That's what this series needs. Cut the slice of life. Stop wasting so much time and get to the good stuff.

>>159752087
You're the idiot here, a good shounen character, needs a simply yet original design that standsout and is easily recognizable.

Nobody hates narutos design for not looking like a generic ninja, it's not supposed to, that's part of what makes it so special.

The dragon ball z gee, soul society robe, luffys red jacket and shorts, gons green shorts and jacket, ashes og design etc etc.
I get that deku is supposed to look like all might originally with his costume but the artist lacks confidence and can't stick with something. It's constantly being changed or edited like ichigo's design, just gibes bad vibes all around.

We'll know by the end of the arc if it's trash.
Comparatively Bleach was already bullshit city this many chapters in and had no character development at all (except for the fact that Ichigo lost all personality he seemingly had at the start).
I know I like this one a lot more, but it still could go massively downhill.

>>159752161
>looking shitty means it was designed shittily
You should honestly consider suicide.

>>159763891
>but in his quest to become a hero despite his handicap, he doesn't attempt to at least pursue excellent physical form?
He had no quirk, AM said so himself that its impossible for him to become a hero with none so getting fit wouldn't mean anything since he had no fucking quirk. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
>Did meeting All Might really need to be the thing that got him to at least work out?
No the opportunity to get a quirk did, what would working out do if you can't be a hero with no quirk?

>>159763772
>train so he can punch the bots with his fists?
Isn't that, like, exactly what the quirkless vigilante did? Or what Tailguy did? It's been a while, but Stain's quirk was unrelated to his physical abilities and he pulled off some impossible feats with his swords, so BnHA's universe probably work on classic shonens rules of humans being stronger than irl.

>>159763787
Bullshit, I've made arguments. You can call them shit but when people asks me why I don't like Deku and I say that I dislike him because he, amongst others things, never actually worked hard toward his dream of being a hero prior to meeting All Might and being promised a powerful quirk, that's an argument. You might say it's the wrong way to take things, but it's still one.

And those three statements are wrong. You chose the very flaws he initially had to overcome in order to turn his life around.

You dislike Deku because of the fact that he was a nothing to begin with and one day decided to start getting himself together out of sheer drive. Your worst offense is faulting a character for issues they already had upon introduction.

TL;DR: t. Bakugou

>>159763891

Newsflash: Kids aren't usually good at becoming professionals. How many middle schoolers who say they want to be doctors are actively studying Biology, chemistry, etc? Not many. He was going on the mastermind path if anything until he met All Might and could have been somewhat of a nighteye knockoff

>>159751976
I have no issue with the design being shit, yes it's flat out ugly. My issues is with the mangaka being unable to commit to a single solid design for his lead.
He should've had the solid design within the first 5 chapters, there like 100 chapters in and he's still changing it, it's just bad "marketing/characterization", i can't think of the right word but you get the idea. Deku needed a solid, original, easily recognizable design and the mangaka failed to deliver.
The fact that he doesn't have one just makes this work feel so below average besides all the other blatant flaws.

So far I still think it a mostly solid manga.
It is not ground breaking nor is it super creative plotwise atleast but it has nice art and character designs and has so far done nothing offensive yet.

I am however disappointed with the lack of world building 140+ chapters in and I also do not think Hori is super good with fight scenes, though the All Might vs Sensi battle was pretty top tier.

I also hope everyone in the class gets their time to shine and it doesn't end with Kirishima

>>159763902
>So why did you say him studying on heroes was worthless and that he didn't try at all?
Cause I forgot, obviously. Since apparently the phrasing is very important to you, I'll change it :
Why did Deku purely works on theory when the thing he lacked the most was physical power, and working out would've increased greatly his chance to pass the physical exam?

>because he wasn't an alpha male as a child.
Aren't you the one you said he defended some kid from bullies in his childhood

Actually that's why they do its also isn't simple. Sure, NOW you can say its iconic because its popular but it was a huge fucking blemish on the manga.


>It's constantly being changed or edited like ichigo's design, just gibes bad vibes all around.
Wow...its almost like his suit isn't perfected yet and he's changing it as his grows while still keeping its original intent. Also you're a fucking idiot since Luffy and Naruto all changed their designs hell Luffy has a different design EVERY FUCKING ARC.

and the quirkless vigilante faces off against what? 20 story high robots? he's pretty much a one trick pony, capable only dealing with street thugs. Tailguy has a tail the size of his body, make of that of that what you will. Stain (and also Aizawa) also fight by relying on their quirk, Stain by drawing blood and paralyzing the opposition quickly and Aizawa by negating the enemy's quirk. Not to mention they already trained for god knows how long and yet they still have to rely on their quirk

>>159764273
>Why did Deku purely works on theory when the thing he lacked the most was physical power
Because no matter how hard you can run or punch, that doesn't guarantee you becoming a hero.
He had no idea how to become a hero without a quirk, he just badly wanted to to the point of obsession.

Also I think you're missing the point somewhat. BNHA is never about hard work, in fact quite the opposite it's about who you are by nature. A hard working hero will job to someone if he just has a worse quirk or gets hard countered.

>>159764070
For the record, I'm only the first poster.

I actually have more issues with Deku. Like how he decides to rescue Bakugou with his friends despite the fact that pro heroes were obviously planning something. Or how he's dumb enough to answer Mindrape's taunt despite being told not to, or how characters around him always seem to know their own quirk and their limitations less than he does, and can't come up with a way to combine them on their own.

Didn't he also try to jump out to save Bakugou when All for One was there, risking the lives of his friends, and Iida had to restrain him?

Lastly, I don't think we see him train enough on his own, besides simple muscle training, he doesn't seem to make any attempt at not blowing up his arm unless All Might or Gran Torino are right next.

>>159764049
>AM said himself its impossible
This is before All Might miraculously stepped into his life and dangled a carrot in front of him. Deku did not realistically try beyond just being booksmart. He wants to become a hero but does not pursue something as sensible ans simple as just working out. Its kinda dumb. Reminder the physical test is fighting giant fucking robots.

>>159764070
>flaws he had to overcome
Not having a quirk seemed to be the only flaw he had. He was determined and wanted to be a hero despite his handicap but didnt do anything as smart as trying to work out until All Might showed up.

>>159764144
I'm not saying these kids need to be driven and ambitious as the sun but a kid as passionate and smart as Deku should be aware enough to maybe work out at the very least to become a quirkless hero.

Once again, I don't personally hate Deku. I really admire him. But he didn't try as hard as one would expect him to before All Might came and fixed everything.

I also like it is probably my favorite jump manga I am following right now, but the fights aren't that good or the fight choreography to be specific.
Even AM vs AFO wasn't actually that good when you just look at the fight itself what made it great was more the emotional weight of it more than anything.
I did think Deku vs Baku 2 was a step in the right direction.
It was easy to follow and looked pretty cool how they moved.

>>159764503
>This is before All Might miraculously stepped into his life and dangled a carrot in front of him
AM literally told him he could not be a hero when they first met before then he was just delusional and had character tell him he couldn't do it with no quirk. You're still not listening he would not have been qualified to take the test regardless BECAUSE HE HAD NO QUIRK.

>hating on best boy jeanist

>>159762185
Yeah it's a 100 thousand times better.
Actually stakes, actual personal drama between two characters, actually choreography. Well written surprises and clever twist and turns.

The todovsdeku fight was horrendous, the choreography was bland and repetitive or nonexistent, the two had no real drama, all spliced with a generic korean soap opera story background. No surprises or creative twist and turns. All it had going for it was 20 seconds of amazing animation which was literally the "pretty colors" meme.
No real substance their, it was just flashy but besides that it was poorly written, super predictable and poorly executed up until the end.

>>159764361
>Which was proven wrong. Next
He worked hard on the wrong thing.

It's like I tried to enter a math school and focused on the life stories of famous mathematicians. Sure, it's probably important, but if I can't do a simple equation on my own because I never bothered to apply the actual formulas I'm probably not going to last long.

>20 story high robots
Wasn't that only 1 robot amongst the dozen of normal robots?
to take your argument back at you, how the hell is "reading about heroes" going to help you against a real threat anymore than being physically fit will?

>Stain (and also Aizawa) also fight by relying on their quirk
Yeah but they're also supernaturally strongs, right? Not in the context of BnHA's universe but our own. Like in OP Zoro is able to lift a house without anything but muscle training.

>>159762123
So why did Itachi kill all of the Uchiha again? You know the innocent people who weren't even in on betraying konoha?

Also the fight was just attack after attack with decent while Jiraiya vs Pain was actually entertaining.

This. Naruto's pt1 design is a clusterfuck but in a good way since it made the series stand out, keep in mind that before Naruto ninjas were treated as jokes in Japan and manga tried to move away from the traditional ninja getups (see Flame of Recca where nobody is a traditional ninja in the sense and only in name) so Naruto came along and did away with a lot of traditional aspects while also retaining some of the classic motifs to make ninjas more militarized instead of loners and it was a huge fucking success.

That's why MHA feels so fresh. "Set" outfit design from a realistic perspective are boring and unnatural. Hori uses a character's looks to show visual significance.

It's why everyone has such standout facial features and head shapes. It allows you to separate the character from what their wearing, thereby making they're current costume standout and own value as to why they wear it.

The technique saves so much time exposition wise.

He wanted to become a hero, not support hero or management or general ed.
Also he had no idea how. You can definitely fault him for not training like a motherfucker to "somehow" make it, but again, missing the point. The reason he became a hero despite his quirklessness was because he was a natural hero and nothing else.
Maybe he doesn't deserve it (although I'd say you're in the minority here), but he was fit for it. More so than anyone else we've seen so far.

> A guy who can talk to animals (what did he do, send a bee to sting a robot?)
> A girl with really big hands
> An invisible girl (tho I dunno her quirk, so maybe it's actually OP)

Did Deku actually intended to take the exam at the start of the serie, before he had OfA? If he did, then becoming fit was at least a step in the right direction

no one said that. people have an issue with everything, don't pretend like naruto not looking like sterotypical ninjas was a bad thing, it was probably one of the best artistic choses they could have made for the series.

The designs where original and easily stood out, naruto changed the whole perception how ninjas can look and behave. It's a big part of what makes it such an iconic series.

I can't remember if the quirkless are completely barred from the exam, but if they are then I concede. If he couldn't participate then him trying at all would make no sense and you would be right. But if he still could despite being quirkless, he could have tried more than he did before All Might shit all over him.

>it's just bad that the writer really wanted to make a solid design for deku and just couldn't so he's constantly changing it's cosmetic elements.
He's wearing the suit because his mom made it for him you fucking dumbass. The upgrades come from sending the suit through the development department and adding his own input into it. Its a fucking story element that Izuku's outfit is plain but he's changing it as he goes along

>you can site people being mad at anything, but the designs are far from a blemish.
Nope, there are legit a lot of people who did not like Naruto's design. You're fucking delusional if you think Naruto and Luffy's design were iconic from out the gate.

If the 1# hero says that you can't become a hero with no quirk then that's pretty much the limit. We never see quirkless people in UA for a reason.

>reading about heroes
they don't and I never said studying about them ever will . He was quirkless, he was never going to make it in be it relying on his strength or his wit. But relying on his wit does have more weight, recall how he was able to briefly stand toe to toe with Bakugou while relying on analyzing alone
>Stain and Aizawa
what good does it do comparing their feats with our own's? I think it's pretty clear that in-universe, pure physical prowess alone can only go so far. Aizawa and Stain specializes on 1v1 hit-and-run tactics while relying on their quirk. Strip them of their quirks and they're not much better than Knuckle

As you said we don't know their quirks.
Quirks are in essence superhuman, so they can do things that no other human would even with insane training.
Imagine Tyson going up against a steel robot three times his size. What the fuck can he do?
No amount of training can make you superhuman, by definition.
But besides the point, Deku only wanted to take the exam because he wanted to be a hero, not because he thought he would succeed. It's almost like you overlooked the entire point of the first few chapters.

Oh, fuck off.

>That's why MHA feels so fresh
No it doesn't. Do you honestly think that anyone will talk about BnHA and say "Oh I love it, it's like the third time the MC change look, it's so fresh!"

>Hori uses a character's looks to show visual significance.
What the fuck is "visual significance" and how the hell can it be shown by anything other but look?

>thereby making they're current costume standout and own value as to why they wear it.
I don't understand your sentence, but having your characters recognizable even if they switch costume is nice.

>The technique saves so much time exposition wise.
How? The author have done little pages at the end of chapter to show off the costumes and how their work, like how Uravity's bracers reduced nausea. It's a nice touch, but how does it reduce exposition? How do you figure out stuff based on costumes, apart from the absolutely obvious stuff like Black Hole being in a sealed suit because of his quirk never stopping.
