If the super secret defense system is only there to shuttle civvies out of the final conflict, I'm not surprised he didn't waste any time trying to set it up, it's not critical to the plot.

My Hero Academia |OT4| Still Just a Damned Nerd
- Thread starter bunkitz
- Start date
it will probably what will happen
afo will find a weakness, maybe thanks to the traitor, and the heroes will need to stay there to defend the ground while civilians escape
This whole "I've built this intricate underground defense system that surely cost an insane amount of money but I've been so rich this whole time I paid it all out of my pocket" just reeks of "hey we need to wrap this series up real soon so let's just gloss over this to have a stage for the final battle".
It's a huge handwave that doesn't really bother me that much, but it would have been nice to have foreshadowed this better than "we're gonna upgrade UA's defenses".

Lmao y'all are killing me
It is an asspull but at least it revived the traitor theories for a bit

Pretty much. I don't really mind it, but we should all be able to agree that it's convenient as fuck lol
Now that the Deku Alone arc is over, I gotta say that pretty much nothing that could have been interesting about the concept came to pass.
An epic rematch against Muscular? Nope, he's a jobber now.
Overhaul? Just a throwaway moment.
Meet up with Stain? No.
Gentle and La Brava? No.
Toga? No.
Consequences from annihilating his arms in the Shiggy fight? No.
Seeing Deku scrape by in the gritty underworld of MHA, like we've seen with characters like Twice and Hawks? No.
Seeing Deku evolve his philosophy towards heroism or hero society? No.
UA character doing anything interesting while Deku is missing? No.
It's pretty depressing. The hypest thing about it was a purely cosmetic change to Deku's costume.

If Deku couldn't beat Muscular's weak ass, then that would have been embarrassing.
I liked Muscular being a jobber though. That was fun.
The rest... yeah.
I tried to warn you about Muscular getting one shot but you wouldn't listen lmao
I didn't forget her, I was talking about pre-existing characters and plot elements that Deku could have interacted with. I don't really care as much about random, non-forshadowed characters that Hori forces in to fill time.
I'm cool with Muscular being a jobber. Fuck him. If Deku beat his ass before, Muscular definitely doesn't stand a chance after what, 8 months of Deku getting stronger while Muscular sat in a prison cell?
Stain and Toga will definitely show up later as well, so there is that.
Also, you reminded me. Gonna be upset if we never see Gentle and La Brava again. Have Gentle show up and saving people, and end the series with him getting a hero license.
It's like, I honestly and truly enjoyed the arc but when I stop and think about it I do think Hori could've went further before they brought Deku back. Wasn't everyone saying they wanted Deku on his own away from U.A.? There was a lot of real estate to explore there
Of course, I do expect certain plot points like Stain to be followed up on regardless. Now I'm expecting him to help in the final battle
It's because Takyon from last year or so you could never picture saying stuff like this
It's funny and shocking, but a little sad too
Sad but true. I don't know if Hori really does want to wrap things up quick or if this was always the plan, but this series could easily been 500+ chapters
Gentle and La Brava need to show up again.
I'll be bummed as hell if they never appear again.

man, like 97% of the heroes in this series are pretty decent folks tbh
the civilians suck super hard. the LOV and Stain should focus on those ungrateful bastards and not the heroes
yo shiggy, if a hero was walking by while you were in the alley as a kid, they would have helped you

We should be getting at least one more trailer after this one for sure
Thinking about how people, myself included, theorized Deku was gonna make his own little anti-hero team, with people like Gentle and Toga joining.
Hori is definitely just looking to close things out, yeah. I think that's pretty clear at this point.
I would put money on the thinking basically being "I want to set up a status quo I'm happier with by trading on MHA's success." Like, we know that the original draft of MHA was very different than what we got; I'd expect him to move more in that direction.

At the very least, we got that little moment of Deku asking Muscular his goal first before destroying him. So... we know he's taking into account that the villains are people too and worth understanding first before putting them away. It's a tiny step towards addressing the issues with quirk society, though I doubt we'd get anywhere interesting, sadly.
Then I am stronger, lmao. First thing I found out about but I can resist. I'll keep ignoring it til the proper trailer is released. Hopefully.
Is it hype though?
I doubt he's out after one series, given that we're seeing all kinds of big names come back recently; SJ is gonna wave a giant pile of money under his nose.
I would expect that it'll be maybe a Jump+ thing, though, given his health issues at various points in MHA. Gives him more creative freedom, too.
Or he'll just go to Marvel and do Spider-Man stuff.

And that is all I shall talk of it lest I be tempted to watch the leak.
Seeing as how all of Deku's mentors seem to get terrible wounds maybe it's for the best since Mirko got messed up not being his mentor, she'd be done if she taught him anything lmaoDeku is still gonna apprentice under Mirko, right guys?
Right...guys?
GUYS!?
Good chapter. First bit with the principal is kinda...I don't know? I guess? Lol
But Ochaco's part is beautiful but I don't think she's done yet, or maybe the civilians won't completely buy it. We will see.
On another good (or bad depending how you see it), 3rd movie is a big success story in Japan:
Translation from AitaiKuji regarding the little art above: The Boku No Hero Academia WORLD HEROES MISSION movie is a hit in theaters in Japan, and starting August 28th, movie-goers will be able to get a special mini illustration board with new art by Horikoshi featuring Deku, Bakugou, Todoroki, and Rody Soul!
