The idol joke has been taken too far, now they even have lightsticks, microphones and speakers.

In this chapter, characters don't think their cunning plans through properly. Except for the 'kill Tamaki's soulmate in front of her' plan, that one still looks pretty appealing. Also plz no bully Saki. If her tormentors had just read Screaming Lessons then they would've known better.

Boku no hero
Sasuke 2.0 but more Boring and dumb.
Don't bother dude, I'm done arguing against comparing everything to Naruto.
It's a wasted effort and just results in bullying or whatever.
X thinks he's better than Y
Y gets recognized by Z
X fights Y to see what's so special Z picked Y over X
I forgot where was the last time I saw this, I just know it feels familiar.
Hey cmon, pre timeskip Naruto was pretty good. It's not the manga's fault if the only way the author knows how to increase the scope of the fights is by turning what was relatively tame and grounded into shitty ninja Dragonball Z.
Yes. It grew like a mould at Kishimoto's house.What do you mean, did the manga write itself before Kishimoto showed up and ruined it?
But they already played the defection angle and Bakugou wasn't having any of it.I only compare it to Sasuke because i can see a defection happening.

Don't forget the part where the series builds up a villain for most of its first half and then completely sidelines him in favor of nonsensical filler-movie-level villains that just appeared out of nowhere.Early Naruto is good stuff. The story is bog standard, but the tone felt mature compared to its contemporaries and the worldbuilding was high level. Think about how many time the series explains how chakra works, for example.
The problem with Naruto is that by the end it had undermined everything that made it interesting in the first place. The story went from mediocre to nonsensical, the worldbuilding gets thrown out the window, the tone shifts for the worse, the pacing deteriorates and the worst characters assume the spotlight. When you establish world rules as firmly as early Naruto does, late Naruto throwing those rules out the window stings all the harder.
If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now: Kishimoto created an interesting world and decided to tell the most boring story possible in it.Don't forget the part where the series builds up a villain for most of its first half and then completely sidelines him in favor of nonsensical filler-movie-level villains that just appeared out of nowhere.
I still don't know where the fuck Kaguya came from or what was even her purpose.
I see that as planting the seed of the idea of him changing sides, if something i expect a defection because of what already happened.But they already played the defection angle and Bakugou wasn't having any of it.
If it does indeed happen then I'd be really pissed because of that. Having that kind of fake out then having it happen anyways would be terrible writing.

Bakugou is not the one Id put as being Sasuke~esque, SasuNaru made several attempts to save each other even when their bodies automatically moved to protect each other. Ive yet to see Bakugou doing something this noble to Midoriya. Now if this were about KiriBaku, KamiBaku, or Bakucrew then thered be something to discuss.
To be fair Bakugou's power is build around his swear glands and nobody makes him sweat like Deku so they really are perfect for each other they just don't know it yet.

I doubt Bakugou going to pull Sasuke. He's going to get his ass kicked by deku and go 'fuck you shitty nerd, just wait till i get stronger and beat the shit out of you!' He might parted with Deku and become a vigilante, but i doubt he's going to become a villain...
Deku doesn't run after or obsess about Bakugou. The closest we came to that was when Bakugou was going to be literally kidnapped and then was actually kidnapped. The rest of the time, Deku avoids talking to the guy. That's the most annoying Naruto comparison, "Deku obsesses over Bakugou like Naruto over Sasuke", when it's not true
and Deku and Bakugou are better written than Sasuke and Naruto ever were post-timeskip

I wonder why tonal whiplashes seem more prevalent in Japanese media than Western media. I have read manga and played Japanese games that have easily switched between mature themes and comedy at a drop of a hat, but the only times stuff like that happens in the West are non-canon side stories or satirical works. Is it due to the face-saving culture of Japan that makes it easier to hide deeper themes under a guise?
Nah, doesn't have anything to do with culture. Probably an early writer like Tezuka or similar invented the technique, and it became a convention in the medium. If it really was cultural, foreign audiences would have more issues with the whiplash, but it's not a common complaint.
