| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Welp, more of Stain's path as a villian revealed. It looks like the moment he was enlightened, he became more psychotic and embracing the idealogy of fake heroes in order to rid of them. |

| "let's ignore the fact that the guy we just saved attempted to rape pop step" - "great idea. i'll take care of his wounds myself!" .... |

| I don't know why but Kouichi's smile this chapter reminded me a bit of Ida's older brother, which is a neat habit I hope Deku too is going to develop at some point. I still have no clue why Stain attacked Ingenium out of all people in the main series though, since he was nowhere near of being a fake hero (Koichi isn't neither, he saved one man's life right there). We have seen far worse heroes in this manga. So if this single incident was the main reason why Stain became the hero killer, it would make him look rather pathetic. @Simar I'm pretty sure they haven't forgotten this. The way Pop Step looked at him speaks volumes. That guy should pay her some indemnity asap (she needs to sue first though... dunno why she doesn't do it), but he does not deserve to get killed by someone who thinks everything "he" does is perfectly just. Stain/Stendhal acts like freakin Keisuke from the first Devil Survivor game during his emo phase, "killing evil people is just as long as I do it" or "I am the law". Pretty phoney. |
| I though having a villain with the same quick was a bad rip off from the original manga but it turned out to be Stain's backstory. I do think it should have been something a bit more complicated than this but I guess the order of things is that he first needed to find his ideology before he could find his strength |

| total REKT! stain path to the villians... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| ....I love this manga. I think it's a great addition to the My Hero Academia lore and world. But...This is the first time in 11 chapters that I came to hate this manga. Stain is one of my favorite characters in my hero academia, not because he is insane or bad ass, but because of his ideologie. And this chapter really cuts down the formation and foundation of that. Acording to MHA it was formed over time from seeing heroes abuse there status not from a simple encounter with someone like knuckleduster. I mean yes, Knuckleduster is what I would call a true hero as he fights for what is wright even if going extreme. I am sad that his character was used for this rather than making a new character who could be a recurring villain for the group. Because this addition does nothing positive for the character. |
| The only real problem with this manga is that it did a good job in exposing the fact that Stain was never that great of a villain. It's telling that he was a much cooler character when he entered Vigilantes in Chapter 9 than when he became Stain at the end of this chapter. The reason Stain worked in My Hero Academia is because that manga started with such an idealistic take on heroism that the first serious challenge to idealism had a significant impact in the story. In an American comic book, Stain would just be a throwaway villain that would appear in one issue and never return again. Vigilantes is much closer to an American comic book rather than a Shounen manga; in terms of both theme and story theme and construction. It's why Stain's idealism seems off in a book about realism where all the characters are walking the line between good and evil. |
