It doesn't get more AMERICAN than that. Star and Stripe, singular.
Horikoshi is so lazy with names.

I wonder if the "Cape kills heroes" gag is going to happen.
Otherwise this episode for me was all about Mineta trying to be Todoroki-cool.
And Stain I guess. That guys got conviction. Reminds me of Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Oops, forgot to mention Stain. Yeah, he stole the episode by serving dark justice. A lot of the dialogue or commentary in MhA can start to blend together after a while, but Stain's tirades grab attention.
Off topic, but pertinent to previous episodes, does anyone know of a shounen MC that cries as much (or as often) as deku? I was thinking about what MhA does to differentiate itself from the herd, and Izuku's waterworks was one of the first things that came to mind. Boy just cries at... almost everything. Things have been bad-getting-worse for two seasons now, so I don't blame him per say, but the story is constructed in a way to give Deku plenty of sad points every other episode and the levity sections don't have much impact to counterbalance it.
While that's not a bad thing, after a while, it wears down the audience and our sympathy, eroded, ceases to identify with the character and he reverts to being the center of a 'story' that has now has some pacing issues. Glad they ended the season on a hype shot.
No, I don't know of anyone in Shounen who cries.
Some series have main characters who cry, usually for comedic effect. But not the MC.

Stain did not disappoint. Layers.
Luffy probably cries more by volume, but not by ratio. Because...1000+ episodes.Originally Posted by neflight86
Jfc, 3 straight episodes of recap now?

Boku no Hero Academia Memories Ep1-3 have been airing the past few weeks.

Episode 139
----------------
That was a pretty fun quirk. The "two rules" thing seems to apply loosely, because she's controlling both lasers and air right now. That is, unless she turned her self-buff off, in which case her muscles aren't "inflated" like All Might's but are actually real.

Tomura's 4th-wall breakingly hard body ruins this fight for me. It's like the writer is part of the fight waiting for a random moment where he'll decide:"NOW he can be hurt... but not by all those devastating attacks before".
I mean, he get's hurt. He just regenerates.
But to what degree he gets hurt is entirely arbitrary. He got hit with LASERS and his body didn't get torn apart. Why should I beleve missiles will do more damage? And when that fails, what's next? At this point I believe he'd even survive getting nuked. So all the fighting boils down to: he's getting pushed around until the writer decides: NOW.
He's Deku's nemesis. He can't be dealt with before Deku does.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

That was a pretty cool conclusion. Despite Star's short time on screen, I found the whole thing cooler than Demon Slayer Spoiler [Rengoku's death]

Still hate how 'tough' Shigaraki's body is, making no sense.
Kind of a huge retcon, if you think about it: the author made Shigaraki so overpowered that he had to make up an All for One-fan who served to bring Shigaraki down to a level where the established heroes have a fighting chance again.
Yep. Quite the badass for a 2-episode wonder.
Good that she made some progress, but he can just go get more quirks.
Ep 144
------------------
The sky coffin for Shigaraki is a pretty cool setup. I like it. Though the human batteries shouldn't actually have that much power unless they had seriously upgraded. Last time that kid was limp after one shot.
Cool use of Thief as well.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Why did thief think he was a side character? Makes no sense. He can steal and use anyone's quirk.
He has a 5min window, and requires physical contact to borrow the quirk. That makes his use rather unpredictable and unreliable if the subject did not consent.
If the subject did consent, then you'd be better off having the subject be the hero instead since they know how to use their quirk plus do not have a time constraint.
What we've seen here is a pretty niche scenario where he's:
-accessed a prisoner's quirk without consent.
-had time to train with it to utilize it.
-is able to apply it within his 5min time frame (unless he was also touching Teleport while he used it)
-Also was using a crippled hero's quirk with his consent, in a stationary manner.

Episode 145:
I fucking hate Toga so much. She's not interesting and she should have been killed ages ago. Stop showing sympathy for this murderous bitch, ffs.
Also: next week flashback episode? :/ Literally NOBODY gives a shit about your past, Dabi. NOBODY.
