Ask HC: Yes, I came to a similar conclusion myself.

Though I don't recall anything about a retired hero in the class. You shouldn't have told me about that.

Of course, leaving out the matter of the Ladyblogger and Ms. Rossi, there's also the fact that several of the Akumas resulting from that class have been quite powerful.

It makes sense that Hawkmoth would keep an eye on the class so he could Akumatize them again, and since he's already keeping an eye on that class he takes advantage of other potential Akumas that happen to crop up.

This likely started early on, possibly early as the very first Akuma, Stoneheart, AKA Ivan Bruel.

But enough about that class, only a few key members are relevant to this case and we've spent enough time getting sidetracked.

Ladybug: "don't worry about it. The Heroes mentioned had their identities unfortunately made public so its no secret."

Chat: "though thanks for pointing out the various high profile kids in the class as another reason."

(Ooc note: a reminder that in this AU, Chloé and Kagami's time as Queen Bee and Ryuko still happened, both having their canon public identity reveals, but replacing themselves as new personas of Honeybee and Arashi)

Project RBH Devlog 0083

            No cool GIF to show off this week but that’s not because I don’t have good news! It’s just now something that can be easily shown off visually. I succeeded in putting in an upgrade chain! A small one for now, but it’s important groundwork for future design space.

            What I did was create a second array of powerups, the same way that I have the main list of upgrades that you can pick from. Then, I created an upgrade in the main list that lets you create a decoy. In addition to that, it adds in the second list. That list so far only has one item in it—make your Decoys explode—but the fact that I can now add in additional upgrades to the upgrade pool mid-run is huge. I can add useless powerups to your list as a drawback. I can make it so that certain upgrades only appear when it looks like that’s what you’re building around, like more statuses cropping up if you pick the first Status Chance in the chain. The possibilities are endless!

Until next Devlog!

I mean did Ochako get a good resolution? She failed her goal in saving Toga (who killed herself for her) after she vowed she wanted to save people after Nighteye was dying in her arms. Her arc of suppressing her feelings basically goes unaddressed and her feelings for Midoriya are essentially dropped despite being tied to that heavily (for better or for worse, and whether people ship them together or not that was a big part of her character). She doesn’t even get a chance to help Izuku in the climax, which doesn’t fulfill her resolve to help heroes when they’re suffering. She was dying from being stabbed, while all the other heroes with worse injuries (Bakugou) kept fighting. I would argue that her arc is basically nonexistent, which is a shame.

I'm sorry, I stopped listening to what you were saying after you claimed Bakugou played a more meaningful role in the last arc because he had more fights in the final war arc.

Now, all jokes aside, yes, Ochako did get a better character arc resolution compared to other key characters in the story (maybe excluding All Might and All for One).

Ochako starts out as a girl who went in to heroics, a job she believed was a performance to make the public happy, in order to provide for her parents. She was always a caring person, but Ochako didn't think structurally and she didn't think about the severity of what she was walking into with heroics.

After a few arcs, she really came to admire Izuku, a character who embodies an altruistic heroic ideal of saving others. After confronting life and death situations during a work context for the first time during the Overhaul Arc, she realized heroics was more than a performance. And despite that revelation that there were lives at stake - she wanted to continue moving forward to save people.

But hero society neatly divides people into those who save (heroes), those who are saved (civilians), and those to be defeated (villains). Once Ochako determined she wanted to save people, she quickly ran up against the limits of their society's framework of who gets to be saved. It started in the Joint Training Arc when she saved Izuku when he lost control of his quirk. She started with well then who saves the heroes? After seeing Toga cry during the first war arc, her next question became are villains also people who can be saved? Ochako was also the one to confront the civilians about their own complacency and to take initiative to help save others themselves at the end of the Villain Hunt Arc.

She did not have to fight with Izuku in the final fight and Toga was not required to survive to resolve her arc. The point of the "who helps heroes when they are hurting" with Izuku and reaching out to Toga was for Ochako to break down hero society's narrow, dehumanizing roles. Izuku and Toga embody some of the most self-destructive aspects of heroes and villains respectively. She reached out and recognized the humanity of each of them in their darkest moments - the Rogue Arc for Izuku and for Toga in the final war arc while Toga was still mourning Twice's (and what she believed to be Touya's) death(s).

As for the crush/feeling suppression plotline, she wasn't required to confess to Izuku to resolve that plot point. That plotline is intrinsically linked to her relationship with Toga. Because as I have said before, Ochako actually took Toga's advice for how to approach her crush. Toga wanted to become just like her crush. Izuku suppressed all emotions he believed interfered with his hero persona. Ochako then responded in kind by suppressing her feelings after she realized she liked Izuku in the Second Act. But in the final arc, Ochako acted according to her own feelings. She reached out to connect to the villain instead of defeating her because she wanted to do so. Trying to suppress her feelings of wanting to save Toga by looking at the destruction she caused didn't work. She freely admitted to Toga and herself that she liked Izuku.

This was a high school crush. Most people don't get married and have kids with their high school sweetheart. The crush plotline at the end of the day wasn't about Izuku. It was about Ochako and Toga and at a thematic level it was about restrictive norms around love and connection with others, especially as teenage girls.

And honestly, the epilogue also resolved Ochako's arc well. She gets to vent to her friends and let out her suppressed emotions surrounding Toga's death. She was able to connect with Izuku again without running away in fear of her own feelings as she had throughout the Second Act. And there is evidence she put her ideas of rejecting these narrow roles of who can be saved into practice through spearheading these systematic quirk counseling reforms.

Just as there is the being Chaos, a Guardian Chaos, and a Chaos Crystal, there is a being named Cosmos to go with Guardian Cosmos and the Cosmos Crystal.

When Guardian Cosmos said Queen Serenity had visited the Galaxy Cauldron and held "the empty shell of a star to her breast", what the queen had done was leave with what would allow her to give birth to an incarnation of Cosmos who would become Princess Serenity.

Much like how Chaos would be reborn as Sailor Chaos, Cosmos would be reborn as Sailor Cosmos. She sought shelter with Usagi in the past and comforted her because the latter was a piece of her. Sailor Cosmos was the "future Sailor Moon" in the sense that she would become the beacon of hope, love, and justice in the future that her incarnation Sailor Moon was in the past.

Bolsonaro sidelined from Brazil's political scene as Trump enjoys resurgence

The political fortunes of Brazil's hard-right former President Jair Bolsonaro long mirrored those of his ideological ally Donald Trump - but their fates now look to have diverged dramatically.

As Trump prepares for four more years in the White House, Bolsonaro is barred from public office and could be tried before Brazil's Supreme Court next year after police accused him last week of plotting a coup.

For years, Bolsonaro followed Trump's tracks, first by mimicking his political style to win the Brazilian presidency with an anti-establishment campaign in 2018. When he lost a reelection bid four years later, he adopted Trump's playbook again, spreading falsehoods about the legitimacy of the results.

The reaction of the Brazilian politician's supporters was eerily similar to Trump's, with thousands of them vandalizing government buildings in the capital, Brasilia, on Jan. 8, 2023, hoping to overturn the results of the election that Bolsonaro lost to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Yet Trump is now back on top in Washington, untroubled by several court cases, while Bolsonaro is sidelined from upcoming elections and possibly cornered by three criminal investigations.
