BNHA 217

Lots of loose ends cleaned up this chapter, but lots of new threads created hmmm... love me some new threads to follow... 

First off, what a great opening:

our boys are back and they’re at it again. Didn’t realize how much I missed it.

With that said, let’s get into one of the first loose ends tied by this chapter: 

One for All

Bakugo has officially been brought on board Team One For All. He’ll most likely continue as a part of Deku’s training. This further implies his and Deku’s joint succession of All Might’s legacy, which I think is SO cool. I can’t wait to see how it develops. Loose end tied.

Thread created (or extended at least): Even after Deku, All Might, and Bakugo’s group discussion AND their little “experiment” (see panel above), they still didn’t discern anything new about One for All or Black Whip. WHICH MEANS IT’S STILL WIDE OPEN FOR SPECULATION 

Bakugo and Deku, being the bright boys they are, established there must be some sort of external catalyst...

Maybe All for One? Bakugo draws the connection between All for One’s quirk-stealing and One for All’s multiple quirks-phenomenon... but that still doesn’t account for the ‘external catalyst’ they’re looking for. What does Deku need to activate his other Quirks? What about his condition is different from his One for All predecessors? What allows him to see visions of his predecessors when former One for All heroes couldn’t?

My selfish theory: Shinsou

I won’t go into depth about my reasoning in this post (don’t worry I’m working on one solely dedicated to it...) but essentially, hints have been dropped that Shinsou’s quirk could prove useful to Deku better understanding One for All down the line. And since this chapter establishes that Deku, All Might, and Bakugo are still searching for answers, I’m keeping my little theory alive...

Next loose thread tied: what did Class 1-A and 1-B do right after joint training to unwind?

They’re hanging out!! 

Believe me I scanned this picture in depth looking for signs of my purple son, to no avail... where did Shinsou go? How did he unwind after the training session? Was he invited to 1-A and 1-B’s little hangout? I’m very curious how that went down... he probably turned them down cold the asshole

A few things piqued my interest: 

--MINETA. What do you think Ashido’s forcing him to watch??

--Komori officially added to the ranks of Hawks fangirls xD

--I am now more invested in the development of Kirishima and Tetsutetsu’s relationship than I ever thought I’d be.. “We have different strengths... don’t we?”

--Deku and Todoroki are Wholesome FriendsTM

--also Endeavor’s going to become relevant again sigh... 

Next thread: Shinsou’s final evaluation!

It is now official official. Shinsou will be in the hero course. Teacher-approved. I completely lost it at seeing Aizawa giving a PowerPoint presentation about his son:

Loose end: tied. but we still don’t know what class he’ll be in ahhh

Present Mic also finally openly acknowledged the parallels we’ve all been making for like a million chapters by now:

--something about Eraserhead’s backstory helped motivate him to train Shinsou. But we still don’t know exactly what, though it might have to do with a person called Shiragumo. Who is this person? Could they be a former classmate of Aizawa’s? A former protege? To me it sounds like the story might not be a happy one, if Aizawa’s being so secretive about it, and that in turn makes me wonder what Horikoshi has planned for Shinsou... will Shinsou’s story be a happy one in the end?

Last thread I’ll mention: Monoma’s visit to Eri!

--turns out it’s a dead end: Monoma can’t sufficiently copy Eri’s quirk (thank goodness, honestly, because who wants that poor girl hanging out with Monoma longer than she has to?)

--BUT at least we got some new exposition on quirks in general, particularly on “accumulation-type quirks,” or quirks reliant on stored energy

--AND that accounts for why Monoma didn’t  e x p l o d e  when he tried to copy One for All, so okay

--the whole exchange ends with a super pure moment that ties Deku and Eri’s development together once again:

Together, they’re going to work to make their power their own! I look forward to it ^^

All in all, a solid chapter. I love the information it gave us, as well as the information it didn’t. It gives me a lot to ponder on for the next week or so (is it true there’s gonna be a break next week?)

Bonus: my fav panel: 

we just need Shinsou and it’d be perfect

Boku no hero academia 5th season - Episode 12

Manga vs Anime

[bnhatrashdumpster]

wow the new chapter (217) was great on so many accounts

i’ll just leave you with this:

maybe “you also have two quirks” can be the new “are you all might’s secret love child or something”

i better start making ‘two quirks’ jokes now

the funniest thing is he again buys deku’s explanation without question like how much do you have to trust him to do that

Bakugou nailed it here: Todoroki’s guesses are always half-accurate, half-really-off. Todoroki himself is half-majestic-powerful and half-total-meme. He half-wants-to-text-Endeavor and half-doesn’t 

[kikizzz]

Can we all talk about how Aizawa is LITERALLY presenting a PowerPoint about how shinsou should be in the hero course??? I bet he’s had it saved for months

[flangobear]

So there was this panel in manga:

My Hero Academia Chapter 217 Review

So, it’s been a while since I did a review of this, eh? Yah, sorry. And next week is a hiatus so, lets dive in

We open up on Bakugou and Deku fighting, well more training. As Bakugou is trying to force the Black Whip to activate. All Might has to tell Bakugou that this is about testing Deku and making sure he doesn’t release the Black Whip unintentionally.

We get a flashback revealing that now that Bakugou is in on the One for All secret, he now gets to be meeting with Deku and All Might. I can’t help but imagine Bakugou being at least a little giddy on the inside considering he now gets to hang out with his favorite hero. Though he’s spending it with Deku so maybe it balances out.

Anyway, we get confirmation here that All Might did not know of these multiple quirks and likely Nana didn’t either. So this makes Deku the first of all the users to complete one for all.

Also, we see Bakugou’s addition this duo’s dynamic, he is master of cutting straight to the point. Already, asking questions to move the conversation forward. And when Deku suggests that this was possibly was caused through external means, Bakugou is the one who suggests that this was thanks to All for One.

Bakugou compares the quirks of All for One and One for All, as well as being the one who puts forward the fact that the quirk of One for All originated from All for One.

We cut back to the present where Bakugou’s trying to force out the black whip, but All Might needs to reel him back a little. Deku says that the quirk will only activate when with his feelings. My guess is from what the Hell Boy looking guy said, the feeling Deku needs to have to awaken Black Whip isn’t danger, but rather, feeling of grabbing or catching something or something. So maybe we should get Iida and start a chase or something?

Okay, make up your mind already Hori! Look I appreciate that Horikoshi had seemed to make it out as Deku needed to master the percentage portion of All for One to withstand the physical taxation of quirks like Black Whip. But now it seems like its implying that Deku should start figuring out how to unlock it instead of waiting till the fiiture like he had said 2 weeks ago.

I guess what this could be implying is that Deku should learn what “feeling” activates his other quirk, but he shouldn’t use it until he’s mastered the strength portion of the quirk. Now that would be fine if that were the case. Its also a possibility that this is a transnational issue and I might just be misinterpreting it.

Also, Deku is a little hung up on the comparison to All for One. And likely the fact if this was caused by him, its very likely All for One might be able to do other things to his body.

We cut away to the best part of the chapter.

All of class 1-a and class 1-b hanging out and enjoying dinner together.

We see Kirishima and Tetsutetsu discussing quirks, and it highlights what I said about them during the team Todoroki vs team Honenuki fight. That Tetsutetsu and Kirishima, while almost a joke on how similar they are, are fundamentally different people. As Kirishima suffers from a lack of confidence while Tetsutetsu suffers from overconfidence. I know its pretty much a foot note in the grand scheme of things, but I do appreciate that Hori does go the extra mile with these characters when he could’ve just made it the simple joke of, “their the same person basically.”

Also, Tetsutetsu brings up that while he can become iron, its only so hard. But Kirishima, he can keep hardening. I bet in his unbreakable mode, Kirishima is so much harder than Tetsutetsu that he could potentially crack his iron. But as iron, Tetsutetsu doesn’t have to worry about fire or other extreme weather cause his skin is metal. Kirishima will have to worry though, as while he is hard, he’s still made of flesh which can burn or freeze.

Also we have Momo and Kendou catching up with eachother. Then, my personal favorite, Tokoyami getting asked by Komori if he has photos of Hawks from off duty.

And yes, Mineta is locked in a clockwork orange chair. Actually that’s kinda brilliant.

I wish we could do more, but we gotta get to plot.

Wow... Now that Todoroki mentions how when they fought during the sports fest, Deku told him to come at him with everything he had and yet Deku wasn’t truly giving everything he had. Now to be fair, as Deku tries to say, this power just started to manifest, so its not like that was intentional. But you get what I mean here, that really awesome moment has been a bit cheapened in hindsight.

Well, I’m still glad someone is trying to press Deku about the two quirk thing cause last week everyon kinda dropped it. Though Todoroki now is dropping it so...

Well that all aside, Todoroki has actually texted back endeavor. Though its mainly to learn about the flashfire, but hey, baby steps.

Oh you just know Endeavor has been checking his phone every other goddamn minute.

We cut to the UA teachers meeting and they pretty much are done discussing where Shindou will be going.

We see Mic finally say what the fandom has kinda been saying for a while now, Aizawa sees some of himself in Shinsou. Which... Yeah, a super powerful quirk that could be totally used for evil, but you still have something on the inside that makes want to do good. Also, you’re really both pretty surly.

But Mic also asks if SHinsou reminds him of Shirakumo, likely the flame haired guy in Aizawa’s flashback last chapter. And can I take a minute to say I love how Hori likes to foreshadow new character? Because he often doesn’t just drop them in as an individual, but he tends to show them with characters that have already established. Like when Gentle was going through famous villains he mention All for One and Stain, but then mentioned two other guys who will potentially be related to other obstacles. Or like with Overhaul’s gang who first appear during a Twice focused chapter.

Anyway, we cut to Eri who is naturally a little scared of Monoma.

So Monoma was brought here to copy Eri’s quirk, but considering his... everything (I love that line) It might be best that Mirio and Deku be here to.

Monoma explains that he can’t use quirks that accumulates power through converting it, then its basically a dud. Same with Eri here.

Mirio asks why then was Monoma even brought here.

Aizawa says that having Monoma copy it would’ve helped Eri with control and here we go again. Adorable Eri moments.

I wanna take this moment to say Eri’s however, don’t feel like a cheap gimmick to pull at the audience’s heartstrings like other daughteru characters. She actually lived a life of physical and psychological torment and is still haunted it by it. Its not like we have one arc, boom, your cured from depression and can now exist just to do cute shit. So while Eri let go of Overhaul’s psychological grasps, she is still likely holding a lot of self loathing for her powers and what its done to people. So I wanna say that Eri is a great example of the cute young child character with a tragic backstory to make the audience care about protecting her, because she actually really needs it.

I know, kinda a wierd tangent, but with some recent shit in other series, some child characters just seem to exist to be cute after their “tragic” backstory and it bugs me.

And our chapter ends, with Deku giving a vote of confidence that she will one day control her powers and he to vows he’ll do the same.

Post Chapter Follow Up: This chapter was great. Last week I had some issues, mainly because this recent arc kinda has the same problem as the Overhaul arc. Namely, it starts off really strong, has a contender for one of the greatest moments in the series, then a twist out of left field happens and the entire few chapters become a total cluster fuck. Which while last week, we were all happy for Shinsou and Uraraka, but how that arc concluded was still a bit of a disappointment when you saw how it was going before.

This chapter however, was a perfect little epilogue.

Positives are all of the character work from Todoroki and Endeavor, to Deku and All Might’s dynamic shift with the introduction of Bakugou, to Eri and Deku etc. I also wanna say this chapter is full of content, yet it is paced wonderfully.

Nothing feels too long, nothing feels too short. It also manages to start setting some stuff for the future. But nothing so obvious that its like, “This is what the next arc will be about!” no this was a self contained little chapter and I really enjoyed that.

I have no negatives for this chapter. Any that I could think of, I might blame that on more just what came before this chapter, but its nothing that it could fix or change right now.

Final Verdict: 10/10

While I have issues with the last third of the joint exercise arc, this chapter on its own is still a great epilogue to it

Great bits of character

Great bits of development

Hints of foreshadowing

Just all around good
