You know, with how strong gadgets and items are in this world, one could easily be a pro hero using just those

Just look at how crazy support girl's inventions all are, and other heroes who fly around on jetpacks, or the hero this ep with the huge digger thing, I mean, unless it's somehow their superpower, they're just relying on tech there

I wonder why deku never thought of or tried to go that route when he realized he didn't have powers

Just go through the top heroes list and copy all their most powerful equipment and stuff

Yayaorozu should just use her powers to create a bionic suit or something. She'd be the best tinker ever

Deku doesn't have the skills to actually build gadgets so he'd be relying on others to create it for him which during his previous school, he obviously didn't have access to it but we can assume he was hoping to go down that route since he still wanted to apply to UA. Interestingly, Deku was originally gonna be a batman type hero with the gadgets before the author was encouraged to go down the quirk route :)

Yayaorozu can only make things she's studied so its not like she can invent something completely original. She has to study everything down to the materials and elements things are made from so making the simplest of objects takes a lot of studying. Making a bionic suit would require an insane amount of knowledge on the subject, so for now she's not capable of making something like that. It's an interesting concept for the future though.

Speaking of, is he a quadruple amputee? We never see his arms at all and he seems to have stilts for feet.

I think just his legs. An omake has him in casual clothes and he dresses kind of like a maths teacher, lol.

He doesn't have a jaw either I think?

It seems that most heroes who use gadgets have them compliment their main power and got them later in their career, which means after they got recognition, contacts, and funding. A normal school boy raised by the single mother doesn't have access to those perks, so at best he'll be part of the support course instead of the hero course, which is far from what he wants to do.
And while Deku's smart he's not amazingly smart and comes of little specialized. Bakugo actually got a higher score than him in the written exam.

I'm not sure if what I'm looking at is his face or a mask. He opens it when he's making copies, though.

Both, he doesn't really have lips (or much of a mouth) and has huge teeth exposed him and 1B kid who can make quicksand just look like titans

I see. I like how similar to the X-Men not everyone's mutation quirk leaves them fully human. Poor Cementos, I bet his dating life sucks. I wonder if he was born as a piece of brick.

This is actually what the one-shot(pilot) manga chapter "Boku no Hero" was about. Deku was an adult weapon salesman who was using his own wares to fight crime. It was re-tooled into a school series after that.
 
He did say he has less control over it the stronger it gets

So it'll probably hulk out

That's even better! Then Tokoyami can have a training arc where he learns to master Dark Shadow at 100% and truly becomes a formidable hero. He'll be like this universes Batman.

I just realized the first time I saw his arm or hands was when he got cuffed lol

In the past a villain took his leg. He wears a regular prosthetic when in civilian clothes and sports a special lightweight battle prosthetic while in his costume.
 
Just caught up.

Nice fun series

PS: Todoroki is cool AF. I liked that the backstory isn't overly tragic but simple and sad. CBA for some, I've lost everything storyline.

Caught my little bro yet again, this time he was looking at Deku's MHA Wiki page.

If I wasn't convinced that he was hooked before, this basically confirmed it. Not sure why he hides his good taste, though (I have my theories, but eh).

Just keep giving him MHA merch and being nice about him liking it.

"My Hero Academia? Stop mentioning that trash, I already told you it's shit!

Nah The shit will be the elder brother peeking at the younger computer

"How strange looks like the trash anime is playing on your computer"
You guys are making it really tempting to call him out on it tomorrow when he inevitably watches the next episode, but I'm not heartless.

I was supposed to react negatively to Minetta's part ? I thought this was a cool episode, giving show time to low-tier characters like Minetta and Koda.
The preview for next week had me more excited than anything else in the episode tho.

Someone will find a way at some point. :p /s

But yeah, it was pretty cool. Think I came away liking Koda & Jiro's exam the most this episode.

Next week, though... BOI.

I know I said this but it's funny when each teacher is Is up against particular students due to their skills and abilities counters the students

Do why did Aizawa put Hagakure with Snipe did he just gave up with her since her powers makes it a literal cake walk

Another senseless plot that makes no sense, still unforgivable how yet again Kaminari loses. I did love their faces and running moment. but he needs to win. He is still the strongest and best heroaca in my heart. TeamKaminari.

Enjoyed the Ashido/Kaminari and Jiro/Kado exams. Others weren't too interesting.

Bakugo drowning out Deku in the preview is pretty funny.

Art looks clean in the preview, but man did they avoid showing any action scenes lol. Wonder if we'll get Nakamura one last time this season.

I thought the episode was gonna be total trash from the preview last week, but it wasn't bad.
obviously focusing on the C-tier students was going to be less interesting, but breathing some life into one-dimensional characters, or zero-dimensional in the case of Koda, and having the A-team in the control room watching em made it better.
