E-Deku is English Deku. The DUB version. They said the J-Deku(Japanese) seemed suicidal...

...huh. Seems weird to see that sort of distinction in a voice actor, and even then, what's wrong with Deku if he's feeling suicidal because of everyone's 'favourite' asshole? If anything, shouldn't that his growth away from that all the better?

Yup. I agree 100%.

He doesn't sound suicidal, but someone wants it look like that to make a point. He lacked confidence and cries a lot, but was never suicidal.

If he was confident from the beginning he wouldn't have so much depth, growth and would look much more like a generic shonen character.

 

[NHarmonic.]

I think i've never heard a dub that was better than a japanese voice acting cast. They really, really know how to voice act.

 

[LotusHD]

Didn't expect this to be late.

 

[Trojita]

I did. The groups all seem to be slow for the last two weeks. Unfortunately the better of the groups just stopped now.

It isn't about the voice but the subs

I disagree. E-Deku is more confident and still less generic than j-deku.

Ehh.. Maybe you need to watch more dubs. DBZ is a great example.

DBZ English dub is trash. German DB and One Piece dub though are magic.

Oh no baby, what is you doing

 

[Mendrox]

Oh no baby, what is you doing

To each his own but we got the original DB and after this DBZ without changes to the soundtrack and character changes like with Goku. We even got our own Cell Games special which didnt even Japan have.

American DBZ is way too different from the original. Gohans Cell scene has a different impact with the original song. Goku is not a justice warrior but just likes to fight and more.

Our Goku was just as goofy as the original.

The spoilers for that chapter are brutal btw. Why is it the last one to release this week ;_; pls FallenAngels come back!

 

[Nightbird]

It's out

Its hype

 

[Meffer]

New chapter is finally out.

 

[kirblar]

This is definitely the "kids gloves off" arc.

 

[caliph95]

20%

The Blank panel wasn't ominous at all (I would think that Chisaki was dead but the look on Nighteye might mean he won't be alive to see it)

Yeah, that's a really well-done ambiguous panel.

 

[PhantomKnight]

Oh Shit 20%

Hyped for next week!!

 

[Meffer]

RIP Nighteye.

 

[everyday math]

I'm worried about eraserhead

 

[Trojita]

I'm going to need to watch the beginning of this chapter animated because I had no idea wtf was going on at first.

I got chills at Deku using One for All to stomp to the extant that it nullifies the proliferation of Chisaki's spikes.

 

[LotusHD]

20%, neat

 

[Chase17]

Guess they addressed the permanent thing. Mirio bummed out

After stopping with too much power Deku will have to now find a fighting style that does not use his arms or legs.

He can be more confident then J-Deku. That just goes against what he really is.

Normally shonen heroes tend to overflow with confidence, but have some moments that it lacks. Lack of confidence is different than been unskilled.

He is generic in a lot of other ways, don't get me wrong hehe.

Back on topic:
20% Oh God
Nighteye Oh God

 

[Bounceounce]

That black panel was done very nicely and affected me.
Other than that though meh, this are isn't much for me.
Shigaraki should have had a more active role in combating Overhaul.
I'm just imagining a scenario where he's separated Overhaul from the heroes, had brief combat, and pins Overhaul against a wall by the wrists and stares him in the face smiling while he crumbles him, after strategically takes down his organization though, and possibly kidnaps Eri.
I love Shiggy's character, top five for me, but Horikoshi has done a terrible job of building him up as a villain.
Everything before the mall was perfect, but that mall scene should have been a turning point for his character, and still everything we've seen has been backseat nothing from him.
It's not even combat I want.
Like at the camp, he wasn't even proactive there, when he should have had a strategic role in planning out how Bakugou was taken/placing the villains, but instead he was just standing doing nothing again.

 

[Trojita]

Are we going to take bets on if Nighteye is dead? This would be the first major death of the series of a character introduced in the present. I mean, I don't know how you survive that wound.......

Odds are that it's not a fakeout. Kiling off your pre-cogs is a standard story beat because otherwise they're really annoying to write around.

Quick rescue and recovery girl, maybe? Or a collection of them... I don't know...

He looks like he is dying.

I wonder how All Might will react to this if so, we still don't have a good picture of their relationship.

If he would still live, he would definitely miss an arm.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah he's dead

Things are going to start to get real after this arc

 

[LotusHD]

Not gonna lie, won't be that bothered if he dies.

 

[Trojita]

Also reread the ending tag. Seems like a pun about us being stuck in this arc for so long.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

I will keep making the joke of the spikey floor attack until Overhaul does something interesting.

Yeah but he's not actually using his pre-cog powers and honestly MHA has a pretty poor record of killing people off. In all likely hood, the quirk destroying bullet should have been used so overhaul could kill Mirio, but Mirio's alive. Like maybe someone else will kill him before this is done, but I doubt he's dead yet.

Just you wait, he will dazzle us eventually

He uses his pre-cog powers in this chapter. The ambiguity is in the black panel - is that Nighteye's POV, or Chisaki's future POV?

This is two actual deaths so far. The gloves are off.

 

[Nightbird]

Just because I do not post regularly in the DBS Therad doesn't mean that I don't get it! 😤😤

Spoiler

Good one tough

 

[Trojita]

I thought it might be that Nighteye can't see a future that he won't be living during. I wonder if All Might's death was really his death or Nighteye misinterpreting the ending of the AfO vs. All Might battle.

Didn't they explain this chapter that no matter what, the ending to what Nighteye predicts is always the same?

Lmao how did I miss this

 

[Trojita]

Didn't they explain this chapter that no matter what, the ending to what Nighteye predicts is always the same?

Nighteye sees the future like frames of a film, and can only see the target from a third-person perspective and sometimes their surroundings. The farther in the future it is I believe the more into interpretation it becomes. As far as he knows the future can't be changed, because it never has, but that far into the future his predictions are up in the air.

 

[Chase17]

It's because Toga and Twice's grand plan was to turn off the lights.

The farther in the future it is I believe the more into interpretation it becomes. As far as he knows the future can't be changed, because it never has, but that far into the future his predictions are up in the air.

I think part of that is the sheer lack of context. If he's looking merely seconds ahead, everything is immediately relevant and determined by what he can actually affect. If he sees five years in the future he has no idea what the hell leads up to the moment he sees.

 

[Seesaw15]

Yeah Horikoshi needs to take a month or so off. This chapter was rough. Not just drawing wise but composition and pacing. Nothing really had any impact and all the backgrounds were Kubo white. A hype moment like 20% cowl got lost in the shuffle of sloppy paneling. This is gonna be an arc I'll probably enjoy more once its animated.

As far as the chapters content goes it was okay. Everything just felt super exposition-y. I think three characters had internal monologues and Overhaul was just describing plot details. I usually scoff at Naruto comparisons but that "bend the future" line. I know its probably a translation error but geez.

Get well soon Horikoshi.

Okay, so it wasn't just me lol

 

[Trojita]

Like that one panel with Nighteye where there is no background at all.

 

[Chase17]

Like that one panel with Nighteye where there is no background at all.

Or that panel that was just all black. What was up with that.

 

[MrCinos]

Or that panel that was just all black. What was up with that.

That might've been the best panel in the chapter considering what it signifies, really well-put I must say. And I think there's no ambiguity there, if it was Chisaki's death and not his own he'd probably see Chisaki's body/corpse from third-person POV as usual, not like this.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

Okay, so it wasn't just me lol

I'd describe this entire arc as rough tbh. The enemies weren't very interesting, a lot of the fights weren't very clear, and while I don't consider it a plot hole I find it very shocking they didn't use any of the temporary quirk erasing bullets this arc. Or even just the fact only one dude used the quirk booster despite that shit making you crazy strong.

Either way, I'd like it if the author took a few weeks break after this arc to take a break and plan out his next arc a little better.

 

[caliph95]

It's ominous it's either Chisaki death because he has no future or Nighteye considering the look he had

 

[Ascheroth]

Rip nighteye

That look. "If only we had taken the girls with us."
