Chapter 344: Coming Home

“I’m so glad to finally be home,” Stephanie said. “I love Theresa and her mom, but there’s something to be said for a little peace and quiet.”

“I can’t imagine you had much of either with them on the jet,” Phillip said, only half-joking.

“None whatsoever,” Stephanie said with a laugh. “Those two argue non-stop! But you can tell how much they love one another.”

“Well, at least you’re home and safe,” Phillip said. “From what you told me, I should be more than a little angry at you for taking so many chances!”

“It wasn’t that bad, my love – other than a few flying bullets and guns pointed in our direction, it was quite an adventure!”

Phillip snorted and stood.

“You could have been killed, my love,” he said, shaking his head.

“But I wasn’t,” his wife retorted, standing and laying a hand on his arm. “I’m fine, Phillip. Really.”

Phillip sighed.

“At least you have something to show for it,” he said, gesturing toward the fireplace, where a golden statuette of the Egyptian god Seth sat glimmering on the mantel.

“When I asked, I honestly didn’t Minister Ardek would agree to let each of us take a souvenir of our adventure,” Stephanie replied. “But there was enough treasure in that tomb to go around, and then some, so in recognition of our discovery, she let us each select a small artifact to take home. So long as we agreed to allow the Grand Egyptian Museum to borrow them for exhibition purposes from time to time, they’re ours.”

“Still, it wasn’t worth the risk you took,” Phillip said. “But I’m kind of jealous at the same time. Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.“

I certainly hope so,” Stephanie joked. "I don't think I could do that again."

Phillip laughed.

"You are the protagonist.." (MHA 344) dumbest shit i've ever seen.

Everyone's special, everyone gets a car, everyone matters, everyone's the protagonist, you are the protagonist.

Lmfao, Horikoshi doesn't get the concept of a main character lmfao.

Somehow Avatar The Last Airbender managed to juggle 3-5 mains overtime (Keyword: OVER+TIME), and characterize it's anti-hero/antagonists without taking away from the mains, all without this "everyone's a special snowflake" bullshit.

In MHA, you don't matter for 300 chapters, until you suddenly do lol Quirks serve as the ideal plot devices man. You can negate, reverse, and contrive anything you want. From copying powers, cloning + Copying powers, to mending a mfing heart with the fibers of your own body.

Just. Wow.

And what' i've noticed by reading the Manga specifically is: Horikoshi has this passive aggressive way of using the story at times to address criticism. Like for example:

You point out that something a character does is stupid.

Uses the character next bundle of chapters to point out what they're doing is stupid, but the character does it anyway.

Author is self-conscious that his story has too many characters

Uses characters as the mouthpiece to call everyone meaningless extras, buuuuut he keeps adding characters anyway.

Audience is steadily pointing out that there's too many goddamn characters, Todoroki's family drama hijacking the story for TOO MUCH of the story when it doesn't need to. A bunch of kids in 1A that seriously are on the level of importance as the Cabbage man but for some reason get backstories.

He'll deadass use a character to say there's "no such thing as a side character."

The ego on this one.

In Horikoshi's world, everyone is a special boy and special girl.

Despite one being better than everyone else. Objectively better.

And the one hero that could possibly match him is now fucking dead. And should have been the main character, along with Mirio.

Deku has the ingredients of a beloved side character, not a main character.

Shuzo from (Now and Then, Here and There) THAT is a main character, imagine that boy with One For All? SHEESH!

Mirio, now this woman, Cathleen. All Might potentials, both better characters than Deku, oof.

Tabata has such good character designs.

Reading 344, I was a little... well, I can’t say surprised that the rest of the Zogratis siblings are... being brought back. I’m not going to say “alive” because whatever state of being that is, doesn’t strike as “alive” to me (plus who knows what would happen if Lucius died, as in would they die along with him). It does make sense though, in a way, because if Lucius has the means to bring people back, there doesn’t seem to be a reason why he wouldn’t bring back the rest of his siblings. If for nothing else, they’d surely be useful to him. 

And not the paladins allowing the Evil/Holy dragon to chomp Hino, or bringing it around to do so. Which seems like a energy efficient way of wiping Hino away, really, because that way they don’t need to do it themselves. 

However, this will probably result into a somewhat long battle, for which it’d be awesome if Yami (Sukehiro) winds up into Hino and he could try to reconcile with Ichika. Though I doubt that it’ll happen. 

Glad to see Tabs back in the game!

Once again biting my pillow at the scene of Sasuke killing Orochimaru. I know 100% of Naruto is about grooming but this scene? This fucking scene?

Orochimaru telling him he's a baby and Sasuke being like "yes, of course I am, this is why you targeted me"? The way Sasuke's expression changes and he immediately looses his composure and control the second Orochimaru reminds him of Itachi and he has a flashback? I feel like I am dying every fucking time.

Yoo Sangah in the library!!!

Maybe not for long?

…Maybe.

I know Dokja's plan is to get her out ASAP but I'm actually vaguely feeling like this may be the one plan that he fails in?

For one, I'm actually a little worried that maybe she won't be able to come out for her own safety? Or that the world itself/the Fourth Wall literally won't let her? Because they're already pretty heavily hinting that Sangah is going to read TWSA (and everything else) while she's in there and also that it "might be a truth she can't handle."

Dokja has the Fourth Wall to stop all of the secrets of TWSA from leaking out into the general world but Sangah doesn't, so I'm wondering if it could be a real possibility that constellations may attack her the instant she steps out and Dokja will have to leave her in there until the end of the story when they're no longer a threat? Or maybe even the Fourth Wall itself may not allow her to leave because her knowing all the details of TWSA would put Dokja in danger by proxy.

Also the Fourth Wall did not seem too happy with Dokja and so I worry how that might affect both Sangah and Dokja in the future…

For two, I'm sort of wondering if Sangah will even want to come out? Like, so far everyone in the library seems pretty content? I mean, granted, they also state that the Fourth Wall can turn them "into the dust of the story," so maybe they're not really keen on saying otherwise, but in general I get the vibe that it's a peaceful existence in there and Sangah has not only gone through all these horrible scenarios for years, but we've learned that her life before that wasn't really sunshine either. (Also, seeing pre-scenarios Dokja from her POV was awesome.)

Not to mention Dokja's reincarnation idea. Who knows when she'll be born? As what? Where? If it's a choice between being born as some baby on the other side of the world (or even in another version of TWSA!) and having to spend years growing (and hopefully not being killed in a scenario and having to start all over again) she may elect to stay in the library and read about Dokja & the gang's efforts. Especially since Dokja literally points out to Nirvana "that isn't a matter for you to decide." It's a matter for Sangah to decide.

Or, idk, maybe she will reincarnate and that'll be the last we see of her because she'll be off being a baby or a frog or something.

So, I guess we'll see, but I won't be terribly surprised if Dokja goes through all this effort and Sangah chooses to stay. Or has to stay. At least for now.
