Overhaul is as much interesting as Stain before we had his "you are all fake" speech. I mean both were villains that served as foils to make Shigaraki grow. The only difference that Overhaul final battle hasn't ended yet.

My main problem with Overhaul is he's just a boring design visually. Stain was pretty striking from the beginning.

i know it's to set all this up, but i really wish when they met in the alley deku had stood his ground and said we're saving this girl now, no matter what

that's a stain on their records that i'm probably not going to get over for the rest of this series

even when he becomes the #1 hero i'm always going to think back to that time he left a little girl in the hands of a villain because he didn't want to make a scene

I like that. It's a common and human mistake, and it's triply good if Deku actually learns from it.

If anything, that's an insanely relatable situation. It's not like Deku even had good reason to take Eri away from her 'father'. He just felt something was really off by the atmosphere, but that's not exactly just cause. So without that, Deku had no reason to not follow the ever present social instinct to just keep quiet and mind your business, even if other instincts came in conflict with that.

Deku isn't and was never going to be a perfect hero who makes every correct decision. And that means he's gonna fuck up, to potentially disastrous consequences. That that danger exists is a good thing in a character.

I want to see if Horikoshi is going to address the implications of Overhaul now being of two minds made one.

There's no way he's going to be completely coherent after a move like that.

The guy worshipped Overhaul like a god, so he's probably gonna become super egotistical.

I think Nemuto just died. That or nemuto brain is somewhere in his body. Either way I don't see Overhaul going back to normal.
 
Nice to see Rock Lock get some backstory I honestly thought he was going to get nothing. I'm curious to see how this Overhaul fight is going to end.

Somehow I doubt it he used the bullets body to enhance his own and Overhaul stated he will be dead

I just wonder how much practice did Overhaul did with his ability it looks like he had to will the reconstruction or maybe it's automatic and the stopping he has to will

Either way he's lucky he didn't end up killing himself

Wouldn't be surprised if Overhaul fucked up his trait in the process of making himself into a chimera. He basically just turned himself into a Noomu.

Overhaul just isn't that interesting. Saving the girl isn't that interesting either. The hook of this arc is actually the bullets that remove quirks.

The hook of this arc is Lemillion!

He fused with rocks: Full Rock Alchemist?

When he joins the league he's going to fuse himself with metal to heal himself and call himself Full metal

Guys, guys, the answer is clear:

Full Rock Lock Alchemist!

Twice: wanna make out
Toga: No

...........

You know they probably needed AFO to create nomu since he can move quirks around

With him gone they probably need nomu and look who has nowhere to go after this arc that can create monsters

It will be some ironic karma if he ended up the same situation as Eri and being forced to create nomus

We need a Tokyo Ghoul part 2


And imagine the salt

We could create another dead sea

That chapter had me shook lmfao

She would never betray her beloved Izuku.

Maybe she wants practice first

You heard to Toga and Tomura she's a free girl, she just want fluids inside of her


Blood that is

Also is the teeth for show

Oh it's for show alright ;D

Is Tokyo Ghoul any good?

It's been a minute since I read it, but I liked it. As a manga, it was a solid read. That said, it has a sequel manga, Tokyo Ghoul: Re, and I ended up dropping it out of boredom and it being frustrating to keep up with all the characters (art style/design makes them look all samey), so I dunno, take that as you will. Maybe when it finishes one day, I'll re-read the entire thing.

BTW Twice is way too boring, I love him.
I really hope Bones screw up his voice. They need the best seiyuu for the job.

I really liked the original manga.
The sequel has been kind of whatever with some great stuff now and then, but there's way too many characters now and it's hard to keep them apart.
It's something that's probably better read in one go when it's done.

The art looks interesting, but I don't know much about it.

It takes a while to get going and lately been loosing its way a bit IMO but I'd still recommend it as easily one of best things of late. Try to catch the redone version of chapter 1 to see if the current artstyle and Ishida's storyboarding mesh with you.

Tokyo Ghoul is absolute garbage but the anime makes me laugh at least.

I shall remember this till the ends of time.

Also, to continue Mirio side of the story being the best and the only really good stuff for me at the end of this, I am 90% sure
Night Eye went into the plan knowing Mirio would lose his quirk.
The way he hugged Mirio was waaaaaaay more emotional than it should have been under oblivious circumstances.


NOOOO....I bet you're right.

Man, that hurts. He knew immediately what happened, too.

Source One, Two

I only posted a few out of the two albums, but I thought their art was great and wanted to share. The artist also has more MHA and even One Piece artwork on their Pixiv if you want to check them out.

Even Lock Rock got more than the girls technically since we find out more about him than them and saved their asses from being crushed and had a moment

Girls besides having a dragon just distracted one bullet that they should easily beat

Uraraka and Tsuyu being off screen this entire arc is probably the most disappointing aspect of this arc for me. Hopefully that's another thing the anime can fix.

Considering we don't even get one panel I would laugh if either the bullets turns out to be the strongest dude and all of them are either dead or knocked out or that they're just chilling having a picnic because they're lazy

This is kind of a systemic problem w/ how the author allocated the power sets. None of the girls are really direct combat oriented except Tsu so its harder to give them things to do.

Not really for this arc

Nejire is part of the the big three and we saw her one shot two giants

And one is the number 10 hero that turns into a dragon

Plus we had a whole thing of Ochako learning hand to hand combat

There's no reason why they are not involved if we are talking about powers

Big Three this arc:

Tamaki: Essentially solos three bullets. Gets a pretty good three chapter run.
Mirio: Handles two bullets and Chisaki. Probably the most significant character of the arc.
Nejire: Helps assist a pro hero potentially defeat one bullet off screen.

Overhaul has the most ridiculous fucking quirk. He can heal himself and fuse(?) as well. If he just gets the person's power with no downside then holy shit.

Do schools in Japan reshuffle their classes year 1/2/3 in high school like they do in the US?

Hadn't ever thought about that, but it'd be an opportunity to change things up when they make the Y1->Y2 transition (and might indicate Monoma getting mixed in later on.)

From what I have seen in anime they do. I hope we get Kendou in Deku's class in the second year.

No. The class you have is what you'll be with for the rest of high school.
