Star versus the Forces of GOT’EEEEM

Okay, I finally have, like, interesting thoughts about the current manga arc. So here’s the outline of my mini-ramblings:

Y’all sometimes let Horikoshi play you like a fiddle and honestly? you should keep doing that

Was I right? Or was I right?

American exceptionalism (no, not like that)

BUGS

New Order: Star can step on me

Star is Katsuki-coded (and really, did you expect any less of me than to say something like this?)

WOW are we finally getting something truly AFO-centric?

Nerfed or no?

Okay but WHAT IF-?

(The bolded sections are probably the most important in terms of serious meta.)

Y’all sometimes let Horikoshi play you like a fiddle and honestly? you should keep doing that

For how predictable MHA can be, this fandom sure isn’t genre savvy about its predictions sometimes. And actually, that’s awesome! Makes the story more enjoyable, because Horikoshi is a master of meeting your expectations 90% of the time just so that the unexpected 10% blows your minds. I just think it’s funny that the “unexpected” parts are when the story does exactly what it tells us it’s gonna do lol.

Was I right? Or was I right?

Okay, so my early predictions were:

All For One’s hubris at the start of the arc was foreshadowing that things wouldn’t go according to his plan: RIGHT

All For One won’t steal New Order: WRONG, but then...

Even if AFO gets anything close to what he claims to want out of this battle, there will definitely be some sort of twist: RIGHT

We’re going to get something about her history with All Might before she can die: RIGHT, though sadly contained within the same arc

(Will she die after that? [shrug]): “RIGHT” in whatever sense this can be considered a prediction lol

Horikoshi’s also hinted vaguely at her having a personality, but I guess that can be fleshed out in this fight alone: RIGHT

And okay, it’s fun to gloat, but I acknowledge that I really hedged my bets here with some of these, so please note I’m just participating in the satiric trend of hilariously unmerited arrogance. These all are way too vague to be called ACTUAL predictions.

This is all really just to illustrate one thing, which was the point of the original post: any in-universe character (especially a villain) who says their plans (or their predictions of the future) out loud will automatically be wrong about it to some degree. Why take one panel to tell us everything that’s gonna happen in the next few chapters and then actually draw out that very thing for the next few chapters as described?

American exceptionalism (no, not like that)

Okay, but I’m not gonna act like this was Horikoshi’s best writing or anything just because he made one correct (if loudly broadcasted) writing choice. I’m still very confused about how none of this was foreshadowed even in the chapter where Horikoshi teased Star’s existence (chapter 303).

Yeah, there is a lot about this arc and Star’s character that...make for really awkward discussions about how the US is or is not portrayed. To some degree, it reads like Horikoshi watched a bunch of old Hollywood movies recently and wanted to reference them all in one go because they don’t fit as references anywhere else in the future story. And yeah, that’s...just...I don’t know what the state of education and general public knowledge is in Japan about post-war USA-Japan relations, but I do wonder about it now.

Then again, it’s not like most or any of that is covered in American public education either.

Actually, in light of that thought, I’m kind of surprised this arc didn’t end up far cringier than what we got. Maybe I should be counting my blessings here...

BUGS

BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS

Hell, this isn’t even the first time we’ve seen an army of ants! Although interestingly the sides are switched this time.

WHO’S THE ANT NOW, LOSER?

Okay but again with that reversal of One versus Many? Where the One is unexpectedly the hero and the Many is the villain and his nakama (well, maybe not so much in this particular case...)? FASCINATING.

...

Yeah, I, too, immediately noticed the hairstyle of the forefront vestige’s silhouette. I, too, quirked ([snort]) an eyebrow.

New Order: Star can step on me

That is all.

Star is Katsuki-coded (and really, did you expect any less of me than to say something like this?)

I’m just sayin’:

Both have initials KB

Both smile like terrifying monsters in the face of defeat (see above)

Both have a reputation for doing whatever the fuck they want fuck you

Both bite as their last resort

Both have a not-subtle-at-all war-theme for their character stylizations

Both are characters focused around the concepts of “Number One Hero”, vague god complexes, and comradery/growing into team leaders

Bombs and explosions. Rotating missiles. Howitzer Impact aka Katsuki the Amazing Human Missile. ‘Nuff said.

Both admire All Might but also kind of try to one-up him whenever they get the chance (because it’s about SURPASSING All Might)

Tell me Star’s final move there wasn’t the most amazing pettiest “even when I lose I still win” shit SHE ESSENTIALLY TURNED HER QUIRK INTO A SELF-DESTRUCTING BOMB DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

I can’t believe I’m about to use a filler episode as support but it really doesn’t get any louder than this

“Star” of the show. Get it? GET IT?!

I guess this makes Kaminari the pilot

Additionally, just because I can:

Now to NOT extrapolate Star’s fate to Katsuki please god no

WOW are we finally getting something truly AFO-centric?

As much fun as Star was this chapter, I was already pumped before she got up to her antics. Because holy crap, we’re getting actual insight into AFO’s character?????

“It all begins here, Yoichi. About that comic I read with you that day, it’s not that I didn’t know there was a continuation. I knew what came next; that’s why I stopped reading!”

THIS. This can be interpreted in so many fascinating ways!!!

Is AFO saying he thinks the villain won in the comic? Is he that arrogant and genre-unsavvy?

But the fact that he acknowledges Yoichi’s contention means he did hear when Yoichi said, “The villain always loses.” So AFO actually knows the villain loses now.

So...did he know that then, too? Did he not want to continue reading because he didn’t like that ending? Is all of this an attempt at writing a new, exciting, different, unpredictable story? (lol Horikoshi you’re not subtle)

Or maybe it wasn’t about preference at all. Maybe it’s about prediction. Remember, AFO thrives on control and loves making predictions about how people will behave. Maybe he got bored with the comic the moment he knew how it all ends? (ha! so he’s my antithesis)

But since we see a brief shot of baby Yoichi here, since we get a brief glimpse at AFO’s deeper thoughts, since the chapter ends with AFO’s composure cracking in the face of “the ghost of All Might,” since the fight technically isn’t over yet, could it be that...this arc is about exploring AFO’s character? His...his backstory??

ARE WE GONNA FINALLY GET OUR AFO+OFA FLASHBACK?

CAN WE GET SOME GODDAMN NAMES ALREADY?

[makes grabby-hands for the Second]

Nerfed or no?

If not, did this whole arc just serve the purpose of nerfing TomurAFO? Or is that even what’s happening? I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and I still don’t have a lot to say on this. Sure, it looks like some quirks were lost, but where does it go from here? I wonder if this will serve the purpose of creating some quirk blob or turning TomurAFO into an unstable monster that eventually rampages out of control maybe. The point is, could things actually still get worse?

Okay but WHAT IF-?

Just for funsies, I thought about it...

Based on the way Star worded her final New Order, I don’t think New Order should cannibalize itself in the end?

Which means it could still technically exist in a person with no other quirks.

So, you know, a quirkless person?

...

Could...could All Might get New Order eventually?

(Or really anyone but...just at the price of their quirk getting eaten NO THANKS)

OS X El Capitan on Unsupported Macs macOS Extractor, OS X Patcher, and MacPostFactor are apps that guide you through patching and installing OS X El Capitan (10.11), Yosemite (10.10), Mavericks (10.9), or Mountain Lion (10.8) on your older Mac. This thread focuses on OS X El Capitan. WARNING: 2018-001 security update doesn't work atm (won't boot).

Download

All downloads of boot.efi should be done from this project page. All other sources are unsupported.

Download your copy of the prebuild (32-bit) version of boot.efi for El Capitan (compiled on Microsoft Windows 10 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015) with a black background and white Apple logo now, and verify the download by entering (either one) in a terminal window:

Or download the one for legacy hardware, with a grey background and logo for your Mac Pro and verify the download by entering (either one) in a terminal window:

Note: If the output is different, then your copy of boot.efi should not be used!

Compilation

Don't want a prebuilt copy of boot.efi then compile the source code yourself, with either Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or 2015. El capitan os x usb installer. The latter requires you to update the solution files, but that should be done automatically in the MS Visual Studio IDE.

Note: See also Compiling-Instructions

Thanks To

This project would not have been possible without the help of Peter Holbrook, Mike Boss and a number of other people. Peter did all compiling and Mike ran dozens of test builds that Peter pushed out over at forums.macrumors.com Awesome work guys. Job well done!

I'd also like to thank everyone else whoh helped with testing our nightly builds. Thank you so much!

Help

If you need help with the setup then please visit this macrumor thread. Developers, or people who need help with compiling boot.efi themself, can visit this macrumors developer thread. Mavericks dmg file download.

Note: I myself don't own any unsupported Apple hardware with a 32-bit EFI implementation, so I can probably do not much for you, but there may be others to help you.
