Considering I just finished buying all 9 available volumes and have 10 preordered I believe it.

I actually didn't think the Aizawa scene was too bad (given the knowledge he's been kidnapped which was awkward as fuck). I am super dissapoint Chronos isn't actually a clock for a face because I was ready to make fun of that hardcore! Either way, I actually enjoyed this chapter and I'm now suddenly invested in the fight again! I still wish Overhaul would do something other than spikey floor attack though. I keep saying that as a joke, but for someone with such a neat power he's using it in the most boring fucking way I can imagine.

He did make ground hands also to grab Deku with......but yeah he really has a boring way to use his power when it comes to long range.

Nighteye should be dead, but even then, he was All Might's partner, he's probably strong af to survive the injuries for a little bit.

I think a lot of the enemies could be descirbed as boring af. Honestly, in retrospect I kind of wish Overhaul was just some off-kilter dude obsessed with "cleansing" and joined up with the VA and this arc focused on them instead.
Has it already been over a year since Bleach ended?
Typed up a response, only to lose it, so meh, to sum it up, they're just very uninteresting, especially his underlings, who are all very samey to me. Thought he'd be much more threatening, but I'm just completely done with him (and this arc I guess) at this point. Pretty much knew this for certain when I barely had a reaction to him fusing with one of his underlings. I've never been that much into MHA's villains, but Overhaul is my least favorite so far.
Not really villains at this point considering where the story went (Though obviously they were antagonistic), but even then, nah, Overhaul still loses here, as their whole aesthetic/powers are at least awesome.

Can't be disappointed if you never liked them to begin with.
Ahhh AHHH god it hurts to remember the final Arc of Bleach.

You shush. The final arc of Bleach was great and everything I expected of Bleach. Did you all forget the guy who's evil final form was one of this dippy birds? That's some quality writing right there I tell you!
As long as the price didn't increase to $10 a volume, i will be okay with the faster release.
I sort of like Overhaul, but I would wait until the arc to end to confirm my feelings.
The eight expendables, well, outside of Rappa that was really enjoyable, didn't have an impact. But I am not disappointied because I think it was sort of the meaning of them, be trow away goons.
All things considered I would never say they disappointed me. Maybe except the bane guy.
I really disagree with that
They are really lame evil power rangers. I don't even remember what power Yonji had. Even Reiju that is the best of the bunch went from an interesting character at first to a plot device to make Sanji go to the wedding.
To each their own. Loved their designs, the glimpse at their powers, that they're science-based, have a country
made out of snail ships.
Anyways, the point is, he's been the most disappointing for me. Liked him upon initial introduction, could care less now.
I like Overhaul. He's the only character with on-screen confirmed kills, sitting at a hot 2 and may move up to 3. I also like his aesthetic and his Fullmetal alchemist powers. I don't get him that much as a character yet though. Like you get Stain's deal pretty quickly and everything about him is about his ideal, I still don't really know what Overhaul is about other than he's awful to children and he really wants to destroy Quirks.
That is why I said I would wait. I didn't like stain at first but after him saving Deku my perception of him changed. Same way I disliked Toga until the Camie reveal.
I think Overhaul has a fantastic Quirk and can be a colossal threat in the future. But it's hard for him to shine because he's kinda fucked in this situation. His base is being raided by a ton of Top level heroes+their powerful interns+cops, the allies he just made double crossed him, and his minions are falling by the minute.
I said it before, the villains are consistently the underdogs because the society of MHA is a fairly stable one where the Heroes hold much of the power. Which I'm starting to feel is a problem if he's gonna keep doing these lengthy arcs.
Ultimately, I think this arc isn't super bad in itself, but a lot of MHA's problems are beginning to surface, in addition to Horikoshi simply not being at his best right now. So I find complaints about it understandable, even if I still see stuff here being worthwhile.

I still ponder to this day how Zombie-Kira managed to defeat the army of dippy birds the villain transformed into.....

I mean the point of Deku vs Overhaul isn't to win the fight. It's probably to show Nighteye that Deku is every bit the hero material All Might believes he is, and to show Deku a clearly missing part of his arsenal, which is a move set that's less straightforward.

Should be the same cost as all the other series they did the speed up for in their lifetimes never increased in price.
I guess it makes sense to do this since their already going at a good pace for Haikyuu!! and World Trigger will be caught up.
Sad their not picking up a new series.
I think this arc is pivotal to make villains hold more power in the society. If Toga and Twice are successful, the VA will get rid of a rival group while getting hold of an important weapon against the heroes.

Viz even committing to same day simulpubs for vigilantes in the free section.
Maybe I'll pick it back up, think I dropped it after they released chapter four or so and they are caught up now.

Well of course, arent we only 2 chapters behind now.
as a warning they didn't translate the "extra chapters" which are actually kind of important. It's kind of dumb they skipped over them, characters get more development and get introduced in them.
So catching up on MHA (Ch.144 right now) after having stopped following weekly around ch.100, and I'm really liking the Overhaul arc. It's really cool to see Deku and the gang's first job as semi-pro heroes is saving a kid from child abuse.
The comedy is on point too. I died when I saw these:

I find it impressive that I came out of Kirishima's backstory thinking "Wow, what a cool character Ashido is" when I'm supposed to be focusing on Kirishima lol

So I guess Chiisaki will take Eri and flee now that the litrally big guns have arrived. Sad as I kind of hoped it would have been the final show down. I guess he could go crawling to Shigaraki Tomura for help now that everything he has built has gone to shambles.
I was kind of hoping Eri would inspire and reawaken Mirio's latent powers so that he wouldnt be permanently disabled.
Ultimately feeling mixed on this arc.

If this happens, I don't wanna ever hear about MHA being subversive lol
I can see he getting his powers back if Nighteye dies. Like in a sacrifice. I still don't know what would trigger the recovery tho so I think it will be nearvimpossible to hsppen.
Is that even a problem outside of some youtubers?
I didn't say it was a "problem", but yes, I was referencing that lol

That's actually pretty bad. Doesn't really invoke the original characters at all. Frog girl in particular doesn't look anything like her and could be any generic anime girl.Artist is Ekita玄
Makes me wonder if it's commissioned art rather than from someone who knows the series.
Ah ok. I think in every forum I go people agrees so I don't know why youtubers try to sell it as something it isn't.
But again If Mirio gets his powers back it will all depend on how it is done. Bakugou being kidnapped was extremely tropey in a first glace but ultimately paid off.

Mirio shouldn't get his powers back but he should still be relevant. He's too good to leave. I want to see what can be done with a Quirkless hero.
Also Overhaul is probably going down this arc, can't see him being more than a 1 arc villain. Whether or not Deku is the one to take him down I'm not sure.

I wouldn't be surprised, considering that grotesque transformation. Can he even change back I wonder...
Who do you care for
Overhaul could be a pseudo nomu or a way to create nomus for the league since they lost All for one
The big guy I don't like pop step and the protagonist is a protagonist
This part was pretty good
Also something worth mentioning
So are we supposed to assume Naomasa has the same Quirk? If he does, I wonder if it will ever come up in the main series.
I knew that it would fail because she said hauler and not crawler.
Probably. It is a super useful quirk for a detective

This series really has almost nothing going for it. It at least is occasionally funny. Not sure how I feel about the popstep/crawler backstory, but it at least adds some sort of interest to the group. Igenium asking for the card back was cold.
The Stain "origin story" was bad. So bad!
