Horikoshi’s Jump Festa 2022 Message:

“Greetings.

December is now here, and while I understand that everyone is busy with daily life, I hope you are in good health.

Thank you for coming to My Hero Academia Super Stage.

MHA is at a state where it will reach its goal in a about year….if things go smoothly.

If things don’t go smoothly, then [Yamashita] Daiki-kun will probably be reading the same letter again next year at JumpFes.

I’ve been sluggishly drawing for 7 years now, but now that we’re in the Final Act, I plan to vent everything that I’ve been sluggishly saving up until now in it.

I’ve said this to Okamoto [Nobuhiko]-kun in LINE, but Katsuki will be having his greatest scene in the manga in future developments. I hope people who like Katsuki and hate Katsuki will look forward to it.

And regarding Ochako and Toga,

I have a scene that I’m itching to draw.

Frankly speaking, Toga is a character that was created specifically for Ochako.

And I’ve developed Ochako match Toga.

I don’t know if I will be able to answer your expectations regarding how it [the Ochako and Toga plot] will end, but I plan to put my heart into drawing it.

Also, I became Fukuen-san’s fan because of Cure Happy.

When I heard that Fukuen-san will be voicing Toga….I was worried about whether Cure Happy’s Image will be defiled. (Because Toga’s the complete opposite of Cure Happy).

Thank you for lending your voice for Toga. I love you.

And then, we have Deku and Shigaraki.

Even though his consciousness is becoming more and more ambiguous, he’s [Shigaraki’s] a mass of destructive instincts and frustrations.

He’s the greatest obstacle in Deku’s goal of “saving”.

Saving and Destroying are both born out of ego. Whose ego will win in the end? Is it even a matter of winning or losing? How will things go? What shall I do? What am I supposed to do??

Well, everything’s somehow gonna come off alright I guess!

Do your best, Deku! Destroy it all, Shigaraki! Die, All for One!!

To people who have been reading MHA from its serialization,

To people who started midway,

To people who are just skimming through it while reading Jump,

I will push forward and try to make it so that everyone will think that they’re glad they’ve read MHA.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the anime’s season 6!

I’m very happy that I can enjoy the broadcast along with everyone again.

The days will continue to be cold,

But I’m praying that everyone will stay healthy.

Sincerely,

2021 12 19

Horikoshi Kohei”

MHA 350 LEAKS

Bro I’m sobbing my eyes out my poor Toya

todomitoukei:

I’ve seen some people suggest that when Touya return home after those three years and saw his dad and Shouto together, it was the same training session we saw in chapter 202 where Touya was first mentioned by name and Endvr pointed out how he “came close” to being what he needed him to be.

HOWEVER, those are not the same scenes. First of all, in chapter 350, Touya is 16 which means Shouto would be 8 years old. In chapter 202, Shouto looks younger.

While the spoiler quality makes it hard to see the details, Shouto is definitely wearing something darker with longer sleeves, whereas in 202 he is wearing a tank top in a lighter color.

Lastly, Endvr is using a sword (I thin it’s a shinai but it looks a bit different so I’m not sure?) in chapter 202, whereas in 350 it looks more like… a pipe? A wooden pole? Either way, he’s using a different weapon to beat up his kid with.

greenhappyseed:

There’s another Vigilantes/Toya crossover with AFO watching Six dance as he burns away, and then Six is reborn from a partial skeleton. In Vigilantes, AFO has no idea how this is happening. BUT, while the doctor in MHA tells the gorilla cop he didn’t know how Dabi survived at the time, he then says it was hatred and resentment, meaning AFO learned something critical about survival and the singularity between Dabi’s escape, Six’s fight, and now. Makes sense given AFO wants to live forever.

This Vigilantes scene happens within 6-7 years of current MHA because AFO is potato-faced and Small Might exists, so maybe it’s a year or two after All Might fought AFO? When Dabi woke up from his coma at age 16, it seems AFO was limited to being a voice from a box, so that’s also within 6-7 years of current MHA, making Dabi 22-23 now. But child Shoto seems younger than 10 when Dabi sneaks into the Todoroki house??? And I think Dabi is a bit older (24ish?) in MHA? That makes me think the Dabi scene was slightly earlier than the Vigilantes scene. But it could go either way. It’s unclear which event happened first, but it IS clear that both gave AFO critical information to help him crack the quirk singularity conundrum and “perfect” Shigaraki.

trashformha:

Finally more dabi lore!!!

-it appears that he did jump into the river to try and avoid death

-and ofc afo found him,figures he is involved

-ujiko patched touya together using other ppl for base material, touya spend 3 years in coma hence why he looks so different here(reminds me off bakugo with that hair)

-he instantly realizes his voice is different (puberty? lol)

-he is in some sort of children’s facility (note that hood was first seen in some sort children’s facility so this place def belongs to the doc)

I guess that touya was some sort of backup plan for afo in case shigaraki doesn’t work

I still wonder how he ended up on the streets though it didn’t fell like the doc and afo knew dabi too me(then again the doc was very enthusiastic about dabi during mva.Perhaps he wanted Afo to pick him instead of shiggy?)

BnHA Ch. 347 - Review, parallels, and comparisons

“Inflation” was a short chapter at 13 pages, and there’s another official chapter coming in 5 days (a Friday release). But damn, when the art is this good, does it matter if the chapter is short???

Soooo….howdo you solve a problem like Midoriya? Apparently you shout his name a lot, then tell him he’s on his own because Shigaraki’s just one blink away from decaying UA. (I like that the heroes who knew him as a student call him Midoriya, not OFA or Deku.)

I love Horikoshi reminding us that Monoma continues to be a rock star, plus the little notes saying THIS IS MONOMA. (I guess Hori thought we wouldn’t recognize him without his bangs? Hmm, perhaps there will be a chapter extra page on this when the volume comes out!)

This chapter was also brought to you by the word “whoa.” Bakugo’s left gauntlet shatters from Shigaraki’s hands (whoa!), Aizawa realizes Midoriya needs a warp but they can’t do it (WHOAA!), and Midoriya has Toga come flying at him (WHOA!) It’s an oddly cute way to tie together these characters realizing that they’re in over their heads.

I’ll skip talking about the singularity here bc I have another post planned on that (I meant to finish it Friday but it didn’t happen!). All I’ll say is that the heroes continually underestimate Shigaraki’s non-quirk strength…. [Insert “I can’t believe it’s not quirks!” snark here.]

However! I will say it’s odd that Shigaraki’s face is changing and his eyes are disappearing and reappearing rapidly. Compare feral war Shig, when AFO just starts to exert control, to this chapter.

Since AFO’s face is covered by his mask right now, and we know he used to have white hair and red eyes, I wonder if his mask will eventually come off and we’ll see he has the same face as “perfected” Shigaraki. As Shigaraki and AFO have merged, it’s getting much harder to tell “who” is speaking, because it’s both. For example, yelling about heroes “sweeping things under the rug” and “couldn’t possibly comprehend” sounds very Shigaraki. But lecturing heroes on the singularity and how he’s so much smarter than the heroes? That’s AFO.

Ok, it’s TOGA TIME Y’ALL! I quite enjoy Horikoshi putting his twist on romance tropes. Red string of fate? Check. Confessing at the end of the world? Check. Toga goes all out to yank Izuku to her so she can confess her love and, hopefully, save his life. See, Toga doesn’t want Izuku to go to UA because she fears the destruction that awaits. Shigaraki promised her that he wouldn’t destroy what she loves, but the Shigaraki she knew is gone. And AFO wants Izuku even more than she does. If she really does love Izuku — and in her own way, she does — then she can’t let him go because she might not see him again.

I know people are upset that Danger Sense is used in this chapter as a shortcut for the “hard work” of getting to know Toga, or truly building an understanding with villains. But, to be honest, it doesn’t bother me. (There’s no right or wrong here, I’m just making my bias clear.) I personally don’t mind handwaving inconsistencies in quirk powers because powers always serve the story’s needs; e.g., we all know we’re gonna get “awakenings” and new moves during important battles. Though perhaps Danger Sense itself is a misunderstood and poorly named power. Wouldn’t be the first time a quirk wasn’t aptly named or known by its wielder.

Anyway. A few chapters back, Horikoshi introduced the idea that both Ochako and Izuku (and Shoto!) view the villains as humans. While that’s a big first step, it turns out to be … not very useful in actually making change happen. Humans are complex creatures motivated by many different things. Ochako recognized that what’s obvious to her isn’t obvious to Toga, but can’t put her finger on what IS obvious to Toga. Once that breakthrough happens, they can start to relate. Toga has said outright that she loves Izuku and Ochako, but Ochako couldn’t believe that because Toga’s always trying to stab them. Now, between Danger Sense and Ochako’s observations, I think both Izuku and Ochako are grasping how Toga sees the world.

…..Okay, before we go on….this final sentence isn’t 100% true. Toga will carve someone up out of love, yes, but she will also kill in self-defense, to avoid getting caught by authorities, and out of rage/revenge in extreme circumstances. Sometimes she kills when she needs someone’s blood to transform (the woman during Toya’s war fight with Ochako) and sometimes she doesn’t (Camie, Rock Lock, Aizawa).

Where does Toga’s confession leave us??? Well, I’m really glad we get a new chapter early, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to continue the Toga storyline since Ochako and Izuku are on the magazine cover. But, speaking of things that are not obvious… I have NO idea how Horikoshi will handle this. I hope Izuku and Ochako can gently talk Toga down (while battling Moonfish and the Nomu, hehe). If Toga truly loves them, and if she truly wants them to live a good, long life with her, then she can’t keep trying to stab them. But maybe Izuku and Ochako can voluntarily give Toga a vial of blood and show her it’s not the love or the blood that’s the problem; it’s really the random stabbing.

Like many other fans, I do hope this doesn’t turn into Toga and Ochako fighting over Izuku’s love, or immediately turning into a romance for Izuku and Ochako. I also don’t want Izuku and his powers to overshadow what Ochako can do. In fact, if IzuOcha will be canon, I’d like this to be a chance for Izuku to see Ochako help Toga. Like he understands what’s happening because of his Danger Sense insight, but he’s not equipped to help Toga the way Ochako is, so she takes the lead. Seeing Ochako be a hero, and save a villain in a way he hasn’t yet been able to, would be a good way for Ochako to inspire Izuku. And if Izuku decides he needs to be a bit more like Ochako as he approaches Shigaraki, then there’s something meaningful connecting the two (plus, thematically, it ties back to inspiration vs imitation). That said, I don’t think BnHA needs any endgame romantic pairs for the story to be complete, and I’d rather there be no romantic pairs than some last minute shoehorned pairings. But I’m still along for the ride no matter what because dammit I love these characters.

“Where the hell’s that pesky boyfirend of yours Kacchan?” Hell if I know!”

LOL Jeanist vs Tomura

!!!

YAOMOMO IS HERE! OMG I’ve missed her. And she’s teaming with mei! We’ve been awaiting this moment for so long. 

Well I have. Anyway even though they’re teaming with Deku for this it’s still our two badass inventor smart ladies allied at last!!

Momo and Mei are so cool. 

OOH THAT’S BRILLIANT! Monoma + Aizawa. MOnoma is like the MVP of this arc so far.

Damn Kacchan really is sticking with that hero name. And yeah WHERE IS DEKU 

Aw Shiggy don’t say that! Also AFO seriously? The giant hand overload attack again? Youre running out of ideas.

BNHA 342 Highlights

(Long post, forgive me)

I can’t believe we’re this close to the end, it feels like there’s still so much story left to tell :-(

Warms my ♥️ to think that AM’s just going to do That for the rest of his life (plus Nezu ☺️)

One of many steps to building healthy trust between heroes and the public:

✨Transparency ✨

• *Patrick Star voice* Who are you people?!
• Practicality and cute stuff aside, I’m surprised that Inko doesn’t have a backup version of Deku’s first costume for him to use
• Recovery Girl? You good hon?
• Heteromorph Solidarity, iktr!
• Eri and Kota

Sero’s commentary has been insane lately, somebody help him

Also, it’s such a small (and perfectly reasonable) detail, but I couldn’t help but laugh at Midoriya just jumping off the balcony without no hesitation to talk to her

Ochaco Uraraka Traits (Ranked by Izuku Midoriya)

1. Strong

2. Brave ‍♀️

3. Has a hairdo that’s perfect for her‍♀️

4. Kind

5. Honest (to be continued…)

I can’t wait for them to meet again, many possibilities

They’re Kinda Weird

Some might say they’re Fairly Odd…

*dodges tomatoes* No? Okay I’ll go

Thanks, Ida. (An awkward translation, no?)

I’m not ready.

(quickly wraps him in a blanket)

I just got another weird idea, I think it would be the best for Touya if Eri’s quirk was used on him to “rewind” him to his 5-6 years old self (o the moment prior to him getting injured from his quirk for the first time). If his brain is “rewinded” too, which is kinda obvious, I guess Touya will forget everything that happened since the moment when dad stopped training him. And after that, I think that his parents must raise him together - with love and care, like they should’ve done originally.

I’d be happy if the same treatment was used on Tenko and Himiko (and probably other LOV members too), I believe I’ve stated this before.
