Monday is a jpn holiday so the copies of the magazine shipped even earlier.
This arc's going to be depressing, innit? Like, as depressing as that Fullmetal Alchemist arc.
Kind of appropriate that Overhaul's both a healer and a killer, given that he's a plague doctor. (It's KIller Diamond!) And does that mean Kirishima, Ochako, and Tsuyu are doing internships too? Guess we know who're gonna be tagging along with Deku for this arc.
Nighteye's an asshole, and I kind of get the impression he's like that because of what happened to All Might? That line about how "the truly intelligent villains conceal themselves in the darkness" is a callback to the Indoor Battle Training, where All Might said the exact same thing.
I'm gonna bet the eventual resolution to Deku's current worries will be him figuring out that he's gotta be his own thing and not just be trying to copy someone else,

and it probably isn't coincidence that Ochako's arc involves the same thing.
I don't think he literally saw that far into the future, he's just predicting that All Might would die if he returned to being a hero (as he nearly did), but saw using Foresight that he wasn't going to back down.
It's probably clearer without a rushed translation.

Read manga, ignore anime

Id at least check the anime out, the ost with some of the moments from the manga animated are great, and the anime really made me feel good as it got going.
Read manga and check the anime out afterwards.
I think the anime covers up to somewhere in volume 3?
It's a little too slow for it's own good, but the soundtrack is hype.

I don't really like this thing about All Might chosing Deku by chance. I'd have liked it better if he knew both well and then decided to go for Deku as his successor still.
All Might always act based on his instinct. Even All Might can't​ question All Might's personally chosen successor since All Might is the No.1 hero.
I'unno, I like the idea that Deku got All for One partly out of luck, rather than some kind of destiny. It makes things complicated and uncomfortable, yeah, but it's much more true to life that Deku wasn't the "best" choice.
Deku's going to be the best because he'll work hard to become the best, not because he was always the best.

The anime's pretty bad because of its shit pacing, so just stick with the manga.
The soundtrack's pretty dope, tho.

It never occured to me that Kirishima might be using the internship to disguise his movements, if the hyothesis of him being a villain is correct. Also interesting that Jirou was the only one that pointed it out.
Edit: Nevermind I was confusing Kaminari and Kirishima hahhhahaa

Well, it makes sense that it doesn't come up often, since only the teachers seem to be seriously thinking about it.
I think this "act" of the story has to end with a prison break arc and All for One giving Shigaraki his quirk, so I'm guessing the whole traitor business will trigger at the same time or shortly before that. You know, as a capstone for how depressing things are getting.
Momo Yaoyorozu
Reason:
ch20 page 5
Momo is the only one who can warn the villain about Jirou's sneak attack.

I almost feel bad for Bakugou because he really does play the third wheel this arc.
Now that's a thought. But Overhaul could just as easily kill All for One, and has the motivation to do it. I don't know if Shigaraki's willing to risk that.
...but on the other hand, if Shigaraki gets the All for One quirk at some point down the line, then I wonder what Shigaraki's gonna think about Overhaul's quirk, since it's pretty useful for a villain leader...

Hrm...I wonder.
It said at the crime scenes that nobody died, and we've seen Overhaul's flippant use of his power...while I think the reasons the police said he did it make it obvious why, I wonder if he can actually control the steps of his power. Maybe the exploded people he's exploded so far we just never saw the reworking of. Like it's not instantaneous and the exploding people part is just the start of the process of reworking them so he can't just explode someone and then leave them exploded. Might be for a reveal later that Magne isn't dead since we've stayed away from the VA since then.
Then again, probably not!

Hey, don't expect me to actually go back and read older chapters to support my baseless suppositions
Only if the reveal is just a setup so we can see the dog detective again.

I just realised we are less than 1 week away from the start of S2 😃😃😃
Episode 1s a recap i think
Newtype-001

All the pvs and short ad stuff show the start date as march 25th so i thought theyre counting the recap as ep 1

The pvs all only have scenes for s2. Only pv1 or 2 i think had scenes from s1 at the beginning.
The highlight videos which go over characters have scenes from s1 and some s2 spliced together.
Both show 25th march date

I remember the character highlights having almost nothing from S2, like at most they had shots that were already shown in PV1 or 2.
But that's getting beside the point, when they number the episodes and sell the blu-rays, they aren't going to number the recap as episode 1, they'll number the actual first episode as episode 1.
it'd be crazy to do otherwise.
