That was a good moment.
I like how this is like Bakugous way of encouraging Deku like "my idols helping you dont be losing to me now"
Legit, i think Bakugou needs to find his own teacher. Some guy who likes the cut of his explodey jib and devotes some actual time to training him or something. I think that would help a lot of his insecurities. Hopefully someone not Endevour.Pleaaaaaaase not Endevour
Yeah, the Viz version is going to be better. The fan translations always miss a lot. Remember the whole thing with Venom Chainsaw? Traitor Hagakure? e: And the One Piece translation this week had Nami call Luffy a "fucking twat", lolIt will be nice to see Viz's translation to see if it's different or there is more depth.
Bakugou's going to be a rival and they'll occasionally fight together. Not for a while though, Bakugou doesn't have his provisional license.They are either setting it up for Deku and Baku to be teammates or real rivals. We'll have to see if Bakugou extend his hand for either.
I'm expecting Aizawa to start dealing with Bakugou and Todoroki. They're getting personal training from him, and he can't just ignore it when their issues nearly screwed things up twice, right?I actually think Gran Torino would have been a good teacher for him. I'm not sure he needs someone on his level of personality or likes the cut of his explodey gib. He just needs someone that can channel that energy.
Your anecdotal evidence is worthless.The popularity poll results literally makes no sense from reader engagement I've seen here in Japan.
Not when you spout a conspiracy theory about Bakugou winning because he got first in the poll.All it was was an anecdotal observation?

The conspiracy you posted is that Bakugou only won because he won the poll.Conspiracy? lol wut. The character polls are known to get a fraction of the readers to participate, with certain subsets of very enthusiastic fans that participate. One of these subsets are known as Fujoshi in Japan. It's why King won the Seven Deadly Sins popularity poll and got 3 times the amount of votes as the 2nd place Ban. Fujoshi LOVE King.

It's a dumb conspiracy since this chapter would've been written and submitted a few weeks before the poll results were tabulated.
From what I know, Jump typically asks you to submit a chapter three weeks ahead, so there's a three week backlog of chapters. I assume Horikoshi's taking a break this/next week, but if he wasn't, he'd be working on Chapter 203 and 204.True, I even thought of that when I posted it lol.
That's an interesting point though, anyone know what the actual deadlines are for mangaka in a weekly publication? I know their deadlines are always terrible, but how ahead of time are they submitted? Are they submitted in more than just 1 chapter format? I thought unlike TV (except for South Park) that managaka are on a much tighter schedule. We know they obviously have to have them in before the week before a chapter due to needing to print the Korean and Japanese publications, and because that's when the leaks come out. The submissions need to be in on time for editorial to look over everything and then combine all of them together with any supplementary material that groups like Shounen Jump include.

Yeah, I would REALLY like Baku to win this one, mostly because I feel he is still ahead of Deku (Last time Deku won because of the game rules) and also because it will make for interesting writing, depending on the context of the victory.
Yeah, Bakugou is surprisingly calm for someone who just picked a fight. He is challenging Deku not for spite, but for peace of mind.
His whole world view is changing. Been "Awesome" is not enough, he doesn't always win, and meanwhile Deku is succeeding. He challenges Deku because he feels that will make him understand what he needs to be closer to his ideal of All Might.
Also, I get the whole "bullies have to get punished" angle, but I am like Deku in that I don't let the pass allow me to get grudges. I was heavily bullied in Middle School and now that I am a grown-ass man I have had chances to meet with the people that used to bully me and talk with them and when they apologized I accepted that apology, but not without letting them now how much of a piece of shit they were and how it affected me at the time, even if now I am doing fine. They felt terrible but I hope they realize the past is the past and I don't hold a grudge anymore.Holding into a grudge just makes you a worst person a think, its just not worth it.
The popularity poll results literally makes no sense from reader engagement I've seen here in Japan.
Aizawa at 4 and All Might at 6? I like Aizawa, but what.
Jirou at 7, Ochako at 10 and Tsuyu at 9.
The frog girl that has a ridiculous fan following got only 309 votes.
The fuck happened here? Fujo votes and spoil votes?
Bakugou #1? Plz no. I don't need a Sasuke-like takeover of My Hero Academia.
Tsuyu and Ochako ranks are a crime.
No way is Bakugou gonna turn out like Sasuke. We already dodged the "join the villains" bullshit.
I appreciate you mentioning this, but you sound like a stable person. It isn't as easy to let go when you have severe depression and was nearly bullied to the point of suicide several times. And since this is Japan, where that's a regular occurrence, AND marketed to the age group that would actually be susceptible to it, it just ends up not being a plot point I can support when the character isn't portrayed as the despicable piece of shit he is.
But yes, Bakugou apologizing would do wonders.
The only good creator's pet in shounen that gets a lot of focus that also won popularity contests is Kumagawa.
I guess I am mostly stable, but I get fits of depression every now and then. I was not able to go to school for almost 2 weeks because I was feeling very inadequate. Kind of failed one of my classes because of it, lol. I was also suicidal when the bullying was at its highest point, I can tell you about the time I was made to stand in the middle of a circle while everyone around me threw peanuts with sauce at me. It sucks and it was terrible at the time, and talking about it still stings a little, but I just don't let it bring me down, its been more than ten years, I am what I am, maybe even because of it. It teached me compassion and to rely on myself, and that anyone can be horrible if they are caught up in the moment. But that it doesn't define them as a person. Maybe I am too optimistic, but I like to think the best in people, even when they have done horrible things.
I don't know man, I just don't like to entirely blame others. Like Deku, I was bullied because I kept trying to stand my ground and don't give up on my dreams even when I had people putting me down. Maybe that is why this manga is so personal to me.
If the end game of the manga is what I believe, Bakugou will realize he doesn't deserve Deku´s kindness and he will have to live with that. Believe it or not, that is far heavier than getting his face punched.
Yes, that's how One for All works.How did Bakugou win? He actually tanked a punch from Deku? I'm calling shenanigans.
Yes, that's how One for All works.
Think about it, if five percent was that good, Izuku would be hilariously overpowered. Like series derailing powerful.
If it seems implausible, that's because you're overestimating how good 5% is. It's perfectly consistent, heck, it literally already happened once with Stain.
Bakugou #1? Plz no. I don't need a Sasuke-like takeover of My Hero Academia.
Tsuyu and Ochako ranks are a crime.
And at the risk of giving OniBarubary another aneurysm by talking about Naruto again, the real reason Sasuke became so prominent in Naruto was because Kishimoto "liked drawing Sasuke". Yeah.
This also isnt first time hes taken a ofa punch from deku to the face.
This was also after all might punched bakugou right in the gut making him throw up
You guys forgetting?¿
Eeeeeeh, the physics of Deku's punches are kinda inconsistent so I try not to worry about actual damage. He also blasted through like three floors of concrete with a punch, busted up a robot with his first punch, and that's not even taking into account we all have more leg muscles than arm muscles (Kickboxing is OP against boxing), also I'm sure Baku's bones aren't made of either metal or concrete (Here's a twist, all the kids are robots, this is all a computer simulation). Anyway the real point I'm trying to make here is does Deku melt steel beams?
Maybe...
