#mha volume 34

[arazsen]

//MHA VL. 34 - 36 SPOILERS//

I just recently got back into My Hero again after, like, idk, 2 to 3 years after my hyperfixation ended?? (I still kept up to date but wasn't as into it) I binge read volumes 34 to 36 in less than 24 hours and . . . WTF!?

I was already spoiled about Aoyama being the UA traitor so it didn't hurt as bad but I still felt so upset for my precious flamboyant baby. 😭

THEN

When I got to volume 36, I was like "huh, since Midoriya was warped to the wrong place wouldn't it be funny if Bakugo just straight up died before he could get there? Haha . . ."

. . .

I hate myself.🥲

WHY HORIKOSHI!?!!??! WHY DID THE VOLUME HAVE TO END LIKE THAT!?!? THAT CLIFFHANGER WAS AN ATTACK ON MY HEART!!

It was one thing to see THAT panel of Bakugou on my phone, it's an entirely different thing to actually read it happening and see the looks on everyone else's face once they realize what just happened.

I. Am. Sobbing.

BNHA/MHA season 3 volume 3 Drama CD

Cast: Iida Tenya, Todoroki Shoto, Yaoyorozu Momo

INTRO

IIDA: (00:00) Bakugou was kidnapped by the League of Villains and to rescue him, I, Iida Tenya, along with Midoriya, Kirishima, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, have reached the Kamino district, thanks to Yaoyorozu's detection device. However, we are in a very lively district at night, and people would notice us if they see five teenagers walking. In the worst case, we might even be taken to the police station. Due to these reasons, we decided to go shopping for costumes at the nearby Don Quixote department store.

INTO THE DRAMA

IIDA: (00:42) So, this is the rumored "extremely cheap" discount store, the “Super Cheap Don Quixote”!

TODOROKI: (00:48) Iida, have you been here before?

IIDA: (00:50) No, and you?

TODOROKI: (00:52) No.

YAOYOROZU: (00:53) I have not been here either! Well, let's go into the super cheap Don Quixote department store!

TODOROKI: (00:58) Yaoyorozu, aren't you too excited about this? / Why are you too excited about this?

YAOYOROZU: (01:00) W-no way! What do you mean? This is the first time I've ever experienced something like this, so…

IIDA: (01:06) What?! What?! Look at the volume and sizes of all these products!

TODOROKI: (01:12) There are too many lines. Each row is so crowded that only one person can go through it at a time.

IIDA: (01:17) There are even products up to the ceiling! How could a client get such a high item? Do they even intend to sell these?

TODOROKI: (01:22) Probably not.

YAOYOROZU: (01:25) I heard from Ashido-san that there are kinds of stores that have so many interesting items to look at, and anything that you may be looking for!

TODOROKI: (01:34) What does that mean?

YAOYOROZU: (01:35) To put it simply, it's like playing while shopping!

TODOROKI: (01:39) That sounds annoying / such a drag.

YAOYOROZU: (01:40) As expected of Kirishima and Midoriya, they are able to walk easily through these narrow hallways!

TODOROKI: (01:45) They must be used to these kinds of places.

IIDA: (01:46) T-Todoroki-kun!

TODOROKI: (01:47) What’s the matter, Iida?

IIDA: (01:50) Just look! This 100% real, preservative-free orange juice that I always drink is only 900 yen for six 2-liter bottles! If you calculate it, each liter is only 150 yen each! What kind of price is this?! The catchy phrase of this slogan "Super Cheap" is really true. It is so cheap! I just have to buy it right here and now!

TODOROKI: (02:09) Iida, do you intend to rescue Bakugou while you have 12-liter bottles with you?

IIDA: (02:15) Ah… You are right! I'm sorry. I was distracted by the price of these items!

However, next time I come to this store, I will definitely buy this juice! Don Quixote, Kamino branch... I will remember you!

YAOYOROZU: (02:34) Iida, Todoroki, it seems that the first floor is all food products?

TODOROKI: (02:38) Hey, Kirishima and Midoriya went up the escalators just now.

IIDA: (02:43) If we look at the direction of the floor, the clothes are on the 4th floor! Okay, let's go to the 4th floor!

YAOYOROZU: (02:47) since we're already here, we might as well take a look at floors 2 and 3 too!

TODOROKI: (02:51) Seriously?

YAOYOROZU: (02:52) Ah ... well uh ... maybe we can find things that could help us!

IIDA: (02:58) Oh that makes sense! Let's go through each floor one by one then!

TIME SKIP

TODOROKI: (03:04) We finally then reached the fourth floor, but where is Midoriya and Kirishima? All these products is blocking the view. I can't see where they could be standing.

YAOYOROZU: (03:12) Right, but the makeup section on the 2nd floor was really amazing. There were so many items there, and brands that I had never heard of!

IIDA: (03:19) The interior products of the third floor were also amazing! There were even video games for T.V.! In addition to that, the prices were also much lower than usual.

YAOYOROZU: (03:26) As expected of Don Quixote!

IIDA: (03:28) *sorry I don’t understand what he is talking about* z

TODOROKI: (03:30) You ... Did you just come to buy?

YAOYOROZU and IIDA: (03:33) Uhmm…

TODOROKI: (03:34) why do we even enter this store?

YAOYOROZU: (03:36) To buy costumes for us, of course!

TODOROKI: (03:41) I get it, but

IIDA: (03:43) By the way, Yaoyorozu-kun, have you thought about what kind of costume you would like us to wear?

YAOYOROZU: (03:47) Anything is fine with me.

TODOROKI: (03:49) Anything?

YAOYOROZU: (03:51) Yes! I heard this from Ashido, but Don Quixote has many cosplay items, rather, specific costumes. Like a policeman, a nurse, a flight stewardess, a priestess, or even a magical girl.

IIDA: (04:05) If you wear the disguise of a fantasy concept as a magical girl, wouldn't it be a bit contradictory (to our goal)?

YAOYOROZU: (04:07) there are other options! Little red riding hood, “Urashimatarou”, “Momotarou”, and more!

TODOROKI: (04:13) If we wear these outfits, we will stand out even more.

IIDA: (04:15) Kamino is a very busy shopping district, and it is, also at night. I would like an outfit that fits the scene. but...

TODOROKI: (04:21) I am not very much into the trends these days.

IIDA: (04:23) I must say I am the same.

YAOYOROZU: (04:24) I'm a little familiar with Parisian fashion trends, but

TODOROKI: (04:28) The only one who knows trends among us is Kirishima, right? Let’s just ask him to choose what suits us.

IIDA: (04:35) I agree.

YAOYOROZU: (04:36) I have no objections.

TODOROKI: (04:38) Okay, then I'll find Kirishima and Midoriya and tell them. You wait here.

IIDA: (04:43) Okay, no problem.

YAOYOROZU: (04:44) We will wait here.

IIDA: (04:48) Well then, what should we do while we wait for Kirishima-kun and Midoriya-kun?

YAOYOROZU: (04:53) Since we are in already in Don Quixote, let's take a look at some other products!

IIDA: (04:57) You’re right!

YAOYOROZU: (04:58) Iida, look at this! Three pairs of these shoes for only 300 Yen!

IIDA: (05:02) Look at the towels here! 10 for 200 yen!

YAOYOROZU: (05:04) Why in this world everything is so cheap here? How would they make money with this price?

IIDA: (05:06) Not something relevant to investigate, but whoa! Are all these glasses here only 100 yen?!

YAOYOROZU: (05:10) This skirt here only costs 980 and there is a label that says 70% off too!

IIDA: (05:15) What an incredible store this is, Don Quixote!

YAOYOROZU: (05:17) It really is!

IIDA: (05:18) I’m so glad I came here!

YAOYOROZU: (05:20) Yes, me too!

TODOROKI: (05:21) Have you really forgotten what we came here for?

IIDA: (05:24) Of course not!

YAOYOROZU: (05:26) Yes, not at all!

I'm not fluent in neither Japanese or Spanish. Corrections are very much welcome.

[autumn-foxfire]

Maybe try this? twitter com/Volkerstime/status/1519944278319017985 The content says "Dawg these volume 34 extras are insane, Japanese fans are such pissants about villain stuff that Hori was afraid of plummeting sales so he pushed the traitor reveal back 25 volumes. It was supposed to happen in volumes 9-10 😭😭😭" and if you go in the quotes/replies, people are essentially going "oh, so the reason MHA fell off is because japanese fans don't like the villains"

That worked this time! Thank you!

The racism in this tweet and responses... No wonder people despise the western fandom.

Some More about Sato

As I was writing I Want to Tell You About Sato, I wasn’t able to fit in all the information that I had from my dream or that I came up with to fill in the gaps post-dream, so here’s some additional info and trivia. Sorry for the sheer amount of it, I thought there’d be less but I got carried away.

Information is broken into chunks of related information.

The girl’s name is Sicily, which I completely forgot to go back and edit in. WHOOPS.

Sato is 34 at the time of the incident, and is 41 in the present.

Appearance-wise, Sato looks much like Tosaki from Ajin, though wears a labcoat instead of a suit, and has pure white hair that’s fluffier/less well-kempt than Tosaki’s. It’s even messier after the incident, and the staff at the hospital kind of gave up trying to make his hair look presentable.

Korona has black hair that’s shoulder length. It’s cut flat across the bottom, though the volume makes it splay out a bit, and the bangs are cut the same way. She usually wears red and white. In my dream she was in a red tank top and a white skirt. She also carries at least a small bag with her for her phone, wallet, and keys.

The only think I can remember about Sicily’s appearance is that she had long blond hair and wore a dress that reminded me of a cross between a lolita dress and an Alice in Wonderland dress. It was also light blue.

Like in My Hero Academia, most people in this world have special abilities. The rate is lower in this world though, at ~60% of the population having special abilities. ~50% of those with powers tend to keep quiet about them (or at least around strangers), and ~40% of those people don’t even know they have these abilities. But… are there heroes in this world too? Yes, though there aren’t nearly as many as in MHA.

In my dream, I was experiencing it in an abstract, somewhat 1st-person somewhat 3rd-person perspective, from Sato’s POV. I had no idea that it was a memory that was replaying in his head. In hind-sight, it actually kind of made sense since there were a few observations I made about the world that didn’t line up, like I swear it was some sort of generic sci-fi enemy base’s hallway with vents when I was looking for/going towards the girl as Sato. This led to the idea of Sato misremembering as he replayed the memory of the event, and mixing it up with other events from his time with the I.G.P.A.

I’m pretty sure there’s two subconscious influences that formed Sato’s condition. The time loops definitely came from the Sexy Brutal (along with something else people who have beaten the game will probably notice, but I don’t want to point it out for those who don’t like spoilers). The fading in and out of awareness while many years pass came from something that occurs early on in Wolfenstein the New Order, which I was watching Twitch’s Brownman play a while back.

There were a few gaps in the “memory” portion of the dream too, such as the details of the mission’s setting. The only thing that I can remember about the mission is that it was incredibly important for the team to rescue Sicily, which is why Sato saw it absolutely necessary to risk his life. I think there actually might have been a background plot with a villain organization going on, but that could just be Sato mixing up his memories and it affecting my dream. Who knows?

I also didn’t know what had actually happened between Sato turning around to reach for Sicily and him being hospitalized, as my dream jumped from the former moment to Sato going to lunch with his daughter. I could tell that a lot more time had passed than it seemed, but Korona was still the age Sato remembered her being before the event.

Speaking of Korona, her and Sato’s names popped into my head as I was thinking about the dream. Sato’s was most likely influenced by Ajin, as there’s a character called Mr. Satou in it and Sato’s appearance was very similar to that of the character Tosaki.

Korona’s mom was a one night stand Sato had in college. Sato’s dorm mate had dragged him to a party his friends were having, and after everyone had a couple beers Sato ended up in bed with one of the friends.

In-universe, Korona was named after the beer Corona by her mom. It was meant to be a light-hearted jab by her mom, but Sato found it distasteful and nicknamed her Koko.

Korona’s mom tend to live day by day and was rather carefree, but she knew she didn’t have the money or the responsibility to take care of a kid. After Korona was born, she hunted Sato down and asked if he wanted Korona, stating that if he didn’t, then she was going to send her to an orphanage. Sato decided to keep her, and managed to balance work and child with the help of his older sister. He and Korona’s mom never kept in contact, so they haven’t seen each other since Korona was transferred into his custody.

Most of Sato’s coworkers never knew he had a kid as he usually kept to himself. Only his superiors and his teammates in his MCG knew. Basically, it was on a need to know basis unless he was close to someone.

Korona has met Sato’s MCG plenty of times.

After the incident, Korona moved in with her aunt. She visited her dad in the hospital every day, and later did the same when he was transferred to the psychiatric hospital. She’s always been very close to her dad.

Part of her wishes that she could go back in time to the way things used to be or go back and prevent the incident, but another part of her is happy her dad won’t be risking his life anymore and that she gets to spend more time with him. She feels selfish and guilty for thinking these things. This may be part of the reason she decides to stay in her child-like form.

In the present, Sato has moments of clarity where he’s aware of his surroundings for brief periods of time. These moments are getting longer and more frequent, though the longest they usually last is about hour.

Sato never saw what happened to Sicily, so he firmly believes that she’s dead. Even when people tell him that she’s in hospital, it’s only a momentary relief for him as he can only hold on to the memory while he’s lucid. Most new information is like that for him.

Sato is bi, but isn’t interested in getting together with people. He prefers to focus on his work and spending time with his daughter. He sometimes wonders if Koko wants a second parent.

She doesn’t.

Korona is in an I.G.P.A. funded college studying to become a field researcher like her father was. Her father’s trauma has not deterred her from this, though she is more careful in her work. She doesn’t think he would approve if he became aware of this.

Sato’s old team still visits from time to time, though he doesn’t recognize some of them anymore.

One of my personal favorite memories of the dream version of this story was towards the end when Korona was taking Sato out to lunch and then for a walk around town. There was a moment where they had to leave the place they were staying in because there were a bunch of guys with aggressive personalities at a nearby table. They were being loud and that paired with the usual noise of a restaurant’s outdoor seating was causing Sato to panic and believe he was in the middle of a mission going south. Korono said, “it’s okay daddy, come on, let’s go this way.” She gently led him away by the hand as her aunt waited to pay the bill, reassuring him the whole way. It was so gentle and caring, and her love for him showed through.

MHA Volume 34 teaser

Um, so this is the "next volume quote" and usually these tell you which character is going to be on the next volume's spine. And while I can't read this, I was able to translate that it's... probably Star and Stripe... ("America's No. 1 Hero"). PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG

I don't know if I'm shocked or not. I mean, I'm a little surprised because usually the characters on volume spines are like... main characters and Star is... uh... well she's not going to get any more screen time. I guess it makes sense since there's literally no one else in volume 34 who is more important than her, features prominently, and hasn't been on a volume spine before (well I mean it COULD have been AFO but I have a feeling Hori is saving him for a later volume)

I honestly thought we'd be getting Hatsume, but the fact that we didn't tells me Volume 34 will probably end on chapter 337 (the "you can still be a hero!" panel). This means the volume will be 9 chapters long.

The means volume 35 will have the Hatsume chapters and hopefully will have her on the spine (at least, I really hope it does. I think this is Hatsume's last chance to feature, since I doubt she'll have much of a role later).

... what was my point again?

[shadowed-dancer]

My rant about volume 34 (and Star and Stripe)

OK BUCKLE UP because I’m annoyed. I usually try to find SOMETHING positive to say, but no. Volume 34 has got me so pissed it’s not even funny at this point.

If you like Star and Stripe and love this new volume, more power to you. I'm glad Horikoshi released something you enjoyed. This is just my opinion, and you are in no way required to agree. I just needed to get this off my chest.

Tangent incoming:

When the Star fight happened in the manga, the most I could compliment it was that the fight was cool to look at. But Star as a character DEEPLY bothered me for the following reasons:

She was introduced with basically no set up (because a single silhouette isn’t enough this late in the game. At this point, we should know every character unless they are a random background dude)

She existed as a plot device to solve a problem that could have been solved a million different ways (if you want to nerf Shigaraki, just say that being woken up early caused him to lose some quirks! Also, if you need an excuse for why pros around the world aren’t helping, JUST MAKE SOMETHING UP)

She did not exist outside of her purpose as a plot device (Re-Destro was also a very obvious plot device to give Shigaraki power, but at least he existed beyond that. He had his own thing going on and tied into larger story aspects, like his ties to Destro)

Her whole arc felt like grinding the story to a halt only to give us information that doesn’t matter now (at least with Nagant, the more we learned about her past the more we implicitly learned about the HPSC, Hawks, and hero society as a whole. Star’s backstory only told us about her and now it doesn’t matter)

The whole arc also felt pointless because we KNEW she (a random side character) wouldn't be the one to kill Shigaraki (the main villain). It's one thing to have these build-up fights throughout the series (Deku vs. Overhaul, Shigaraki vs. Re-Destro) even if we know the main characters are safe, but Star's fight came so close to the end that we shouldn't have had any new characters introduced at that point, AND it felt like a waste of time to pretend there was even a chance she would win

The only positive thing I will say about her fight (besides the fact that it looked cool) is that, for the situation Hori put himself in, he wrote the best way to get out of it. Having her die with her quirk would have felt even more pointless, and having Shigaraki get her quirk would have felt too contrived and made him way too op, so yeah. For where he put the story, Horikoshi found a clever way out of it. (But, like I said before, he could have nerfed Shigaraki in a variety of other ways).

Ok onto my issues with the volume

I 100% understand why she is on the cover this volume, but I don’t understand why she’s the ONLY person on the cover. Like yes, as a major player in this arc she should definitely feature, but make it a sort of “good vs evil” thing. Put AFO or Shigaraki on there. I saw someone say it should have mirrored Nagant’s cover which YES! Star and Nagant were already parallels, give them similar covers!

Instead, Star gets a solo cover. You want to know the other characters who have received solo covers? Shoto (5), Bakugo (7), All Might (11), Deku (15), Mirio (17), Shigaraki (25), and Dabi (30). All very important, and all justified (I mean, I think volume 15's cover sucks, but that's just me. Deku's the main character though, so his presence is justified). You know who hasn't received a solo cover yet? ANY OF THE GIRLS. That's right: Star and Stripe, the character who died 6 chapters after her introduction, is the first female character to get a solo cover

But no, Star didn't only get the cover, she also got the spine. I can hear you asking "why does that matter?" and I'll tell you!

In the early days of MHA volumes, the spines tried to feature as many 1A kids as possible. Usually they tried to put kids on volumes where they did something (like Aoyama being on volume 10 because he saved Tokoyami), but sometimes that didn't work (like most of the Overhaul volumes having students who weren't even present). Still, when they could, they tried to put people on volumes where they were important. The only non-1A characters they put on spines prior to running out were All Might, Aizawa, and Mirio.

After they ran out of 1A kids, they began putting villains, Pro Heroes, and Nejire (so, like Mirio, they're putting other UA students). Everyone they chose was also a main character or, at least, a major enough character that we know them (Nezu, Mt. Lady, Nejire).

Here's the main thing though: they never put a character on the spine twice. Look at something like volume 27; Twice and Hawks are both equally important, but Twice was on the spine in volume 24, so the obvious choice was to go for Hawks. You can also look at something like volume 30. The obvious choice would have been Dabi, but Horikoshi went with Nejire because he is likely saving Dabi for a future volume.

So now let's look at Star and Stripe. She's definitely featured prominently in volume 34 and she hasn't been on a spine before, but she's not a main character. The worst part? She never will be because she'd dead. She can't gain more importance after the fact because she's gone! She has contributed everything she could to the story.

I actually excused this choice when I first saw it because I assumed the volume would end of 337 (the "you can still be a hero" panel) and I reasoned that "yeah, there was no one else that could have been on the spine. Shigaraki and Aoyama already featured, AFO is probably being saved for later, I get why they did this."

But now we know the volume ends at 339 and you know who features PROMINENTLY in 339 (and at the end of 338)? HATSUME. We've known her from the beginning and she's had plenty of plot relevant moments, so she would have been a great character to have on the spine.

Now, you could argue that Hatsume will be on a future volume spine since she is helping during the final fight, and you'd be right, but there are so many characters who have yet to be featured on spines that you could always have found a replacement for Hatsume if she had been used here. You could also just pull what volume 31 did and put a random character on the spine despite them not being in the volume.

Less important, but it also annoys me that the volume is called "America" (the English version will likely be named "United States of America"). I personally think "parting gift" would have been an amazing volume title since it's a little more "in touch" with the spirit of the volume, but whatever. Nothing we can do at this point. I just felt like "America", when combined with the cover and spine, was just icing on the cake.

It's just so weird that this much attention is being given to Star because she's not a main character and never will be. We may be told the aftereffects she had on Shigaraki, but Star herself won't do anything else.

Star's whole arc felt like something from a different series, and now her volume feels like that too. Like she's a side-story that takes place separate from the main events of MHA. Points for consistency, I guess.

Thanks for letting me vent

Update: The back cover is Aoyama. I get why, he's IMPORTANT. This is very much his volume too, and I actually wrote about why this picture has a secret meaning but like... Congrats to Shigaraki and AFO for not being represented ONCE in this entire volume. It's honestly impressive at this point. I hope they're on the inner jacket, but at this point my hopes are so low I wouldn't be surprised if it were Hagakure

MHA Reference - Characters Born In The Same Year

No one asked for this, but I’ve decided to create a reference list of MHA characters who were born in the same year as each other.

To calculate this, I’ve grouped them by the age they would have been on December 31st of Deku’s first year at UA (not the age they currently are in the manga, since that’s always changing). This would ensure all birthdays for the year had passed, without anyone celebrating twice.

A big thing to remember is that some kids born in the same year will be in different school years. This is because anyone born January-March is put in class with the kids from the previous year. I’ve indicated this split with a “~” symbol. I’ve indicated this for adults as well, in case any fic writers are curious who they can make classmates.

I tried to include as many characters as possible, but if I missed your favourite I’m sorry. There are also some characters who we simply don’t know the ages of. I’ll try to keep this updated as we learn more.

Do me a favour and reblog this if you found it helpful/interesting. I spent a lot of time on it and I'd like for people to see it

Happy to say this is spoiler free, but there are characters in here who haven’t appeared in the anime yet (not that you can learn much from a name but whatever).

*Since I know someone is inevitably going to ask: We do not know the ages of most of the villains (Shie Hassaikai, Meta Liberation Army, some of the early Vanguard Action Squad members). If we ever find out, I will add them.

As well, there are certain characters for whom we only have an age range (Lady Nagant, Dr Ujiko, etc) and as such I have not included them.

Hope you enjoyed!
