What even is Eri's power at this point?

I know it has to do with erasing quirks but why the hell can't she do it on her own?
If she wants Chisaki to stop so badly, she could just fuck up his quirk for eternity.

Honestly, seeing Midoriya get saved/receive help again is starting to annoy me. Not because I think it makes him weak, but because I want everyone to understand just why Deku is the right person to inherent One for All. Having him fight with his friends is good and all, but every now and then I want them to take a back seat and let the true star shine.

Just when we were about to see Deku prove his words, someone had to show up and steal a part of his spotlight... again. Don't get me wrong; I don't need Deku to win. I just need him to fight on his own. That's what happens when you get invested with a protagonist. You root for them.

Even I am starting to doubt Midoriya, especially when you've got a great guy like Mirio who tugs at your heart strings. And it's not like I like Mirio because he's strong. I like him because he got shit done on his own. Hell, I'm starting to care more about Mirio than Midoriya, and that's not a good thing when Mirio is not the protagonist.

Overall, it's starting to wear on me. Chapter was ok.

Nothing else Deku could have done to win he is way too inexperienced and still getting used to his quirk, unless done it through an asspull. Your forgetting one of the reasons why All Might is messed himself up was by doing everything himself, being a hero is learning to work in a team and receiving help when lives are at stake this is not a tournament or DBZ.

Sure Mirio would be a great successor to All Might so will Deku difference is their learning speed plus Miro is a third year student everybody is different. Plus it's easy to concentrate on his losses and forget about wins.

I say if getting annoyed now Deku losing you might as well stop reading because there's alot trials and tribulations ahead Deku gone face including losses. This is not Fairy Tail.

Read properly. I literally said in my post that I don't need him to win. I just need him to fight on his own. Check the difference before you drop a reply.

The annoyance is not about him losing (he hasn't even lost yet, where did you even get that from?) the annoyance stems from him getting saved. The hell does Fairy Tail even have anything to do with my comment?

If you get so on the defensive when people have different opinions than you, to the point that you need to put words in their mouths just so you can try and justify your arguments, you need to reavulate yourself. And your twisted logic. Nothing you said made sense in relation to my comment.

What your saying makes no sense why wouldn't he need saving, his fighting a battle on his own where he has high chance of not winning and lives are at stake in addition to him being cornered. Now if no help came the author went with your dumb logic of him not being being saved he would be forced once again to use 100% damaging his arms permanently or even worse. Another reason your post makes no sense there have been times Deku has fought on his own and not needed help so your point is moot.

Your annoyance implies you want him to win or his not winning enough in your head. Your that one got triggered by chapter made a nonsensical post.

You know why I mentioned Fairy Tail and what is known for so don't play dumb.

My opinion remains unshaken. I wanted him to face his battles on his own, because I desire to see the skills he's fostered up to date used against the villain of the arc. With a chapter being wrapped up while Deku throws in inspirational words, it's only logical to expect him to live up to it. Having someone back him up right after, is frankly anti-climatic. What annoys me the most is the fact that it isn't the first time since it happened. I guess people disliking what you like nowadays is the same as nonsensical?

(It's sort of funny how you keep bringing up Fairy Tail, like do you want to start a discussion about it in a completely irrelevant thread or something? Or is it that you think it would be too plot convenient if Deku fought on his own.

I guess people showing up just when Deku needed them isn't plot convenient either?)

Although it's funny how you call me triggered (nowadays y'all just using that word pretty easy but don't quite understand what it means and forget to look into the mirror, I guess?). Since you've got me calmly stating my dislikes and there's you, who clearly has a problem with that.

After all...

You've got me, stating my dislikes of the chapter and then you've got yourself, replying to my dislikes and summarizing with ''This is not Fairy Tail'' (lol) and dropping in a couple of other irrelevant anime that have nothing to do with my post (lol DBZ, calm down), and you call me triggered because you can't handle my opinion?

Boi.

You've got yourself, so against my opinion, you said ''dumb'' twice (relax) and ''nonsensical'' right after I called you out (take a breather), and you call me triggered?

Boi.

(I can almost taste the salt).

Sit down. Don't get too triggered when people don't worship the feet of the manga you love. Sorry I couldn't like this chapter. Maybe next time? Will that make you less pressed?

Are you foolish or just stupid Deku faced him alone, Overhaul is clearly the superior opponent on top of that lacks the experience or mastery of his quirk to beat someone at that level. It doesn't matter if he throws inspirational words that's just way of being hopeful doesn't mean his going to win that's typical shounen cliche bullshit that's why I said go read Fairy Tail if you want that.

The fact you mentioned Mirio wanting have One for All implies you think Deku is not winning enough, Mirio with OFA would be boring there would no real tension or stakes or hardship because his already at his peak we know he is going win.

Your an idiot how is it anti-climatic or plot convenience where it's been set up several chapters ago there's another hero team in the vicinity and were progressing through so those points are moot.

Your complaints have no actual merit that's why

Haha your the one getting salty and triggered by the chapter implying you want a new protagonist you can't get more butthurt that that lol

I'm sure there's more the way for you lol.

I don't particularly like this arc think it's mediocre so no I don't worship the manga like its the second coming so try again.

so you're saying "just fight on your own,it doesnt matter if you lose this fight where people will suffer if you lose,why?because i want to see that"

398288 said:
dude cmon midoriya has almost no real fighting experience compared to mirio

Starisametaphor said:


That seems pretty warped of you to assume that if he loses people will suffer.

There are plenty of people in coming who can take care of the remaining wounded while Deku faces his opponent alone. That was the point. Which is why I've made clearly from the beginning that ''I want Deku to fight on his own''. I quote and unquote: ''Having him fight with his friends is good and all, but every now and then I want them to take a back seat and let the true star shine.''

With his friends showing up just when Deku was about to make good on his words, is anti-climatic in the sense that Deku needs to be backed up while fighting again. It's annoying imo. It's frustrating. And I don't like it.

ShishoEO said:
Tbqh, I'm actually finding this arc to be ny least favorite so far, and I think this has mostly to do with Chisaki.
All the Heroes we were introdyced to are great characters and I love the focus Kirishima is getting but... Chisaki doesn't feel like a MHA villain, he feels like a mix between Orochimaru(who was already my most hated character from Naruto) and Fyodor from BSD.
He doesn't have the charisma the League of Villains has, his motives are unclear and he has no redeeming qualities, even treating his henchmen like literal trash.

I just hope he gets dealt with soon enough so we can go back into focusing either on school stuff or the LoV

Starisametaphor said:
I'm left to wonder what made Deku so great in light of Mirio. Was it purely coincidence that Deku was chosen and not Mirio, but that alone gives me even more reason to like Mirio more than Deku. Or was it because Deku had something that Mirio didn't, and if so, what exactly?

With two characters who are so similar, there's the pressing need to have affirmed why one of them is the protagonist and why the other isn't. And that alone is even more reason to see Deku face this battle on his own, imo.

naschyamamoto said:


The only one who could answer a question like that is probably All Might, honestly. In fact, I'd almost expect us to get a scene later where All Might (or maybe Nighteye) explains the quality that inspired him to choose Deku over Mirio.

And as for fighting alone, I think a point the manga's constantly made is that Deku's still growing. Mirio is a third year, while Deku in spite of all his growth is still a first-year, and not even at the top of his class. Mirio at Deku's age wasn't even able to do what Deku's doing now, he was still struggling with phasing through stuff.

And I can guess at what might be going through your head at that; that Deku's only at this level because he got One For All and Mirio didn't. But that's where All Might's reasoning comes in- and everything after this is all my own opinion.


All Might chose Deku after seeing him go in to save Bakugou despite his own conflicting desires- 'his feet moved on his own' and whatnot. And that's one of the two crucial things that sets Deku apart from Mirio, at least that we know of so far. Deku had just as much courage as Mirio, if not more so, despite being so much weaker than even Mirio was at the time. And that was enough to make All Might choose Deku instead. All Might himself was Quirkless, remember?

Yea, this is like a week after the chapter came out, but I'm slow to catch up on this stuff and I just wanted to toss my opinion out there. Feel free to critique and all that shizz.
