    It's not a shit job though. It has in fact, been a super easy and cushy job for a long time now.
    Up till now, they've been fighting bank robbers and purse snatchers in a world that had a Superman in it. It's just now, all of a sudden, all of them are expected to actually DO their job, and they aren't up for it.

    You really think so? There has been a lot of evidence that this is a tough gig. Villains with similar powers, for one. Remember the water kid's parents both got put down by the muscle dude in S3. Violence and crime are still rampant. Heroes are essentially the supernatural division of the police, as contractors. Disaster recovery is never easy, even if you're trained for it. The mental fortitude is waning. Sure, some 'phony' heroes are just looking for an easy paycheck like Stain said, but all of the selective weeding out and testing (provisional license exams, school entrance exams, etc) since the beginning of the show are there to suggest not just anyone can do this job.

    Interesting take that the first responder heroes are the weak ones here.

    I feel like all of that is fairly recent though. The show had given the impression that supervillains weren't as big a deal during All-Might's tenure. I'm sure dangerous supervillains were still around, but All Might just took care of them.

    Just compare what a supervillain club at the start of the series is like(a tiny quiet bar), to what it's like now(a huge militia compound).

    I think a lot of heroes have been coasting for decades under All Might, being treated like rock stars, and now that shit's gotten real, they can't deal.

    Which is understandable. I find it hard to not think of Superman swooping in and fixing shit whenever I see DC heroes struggling with some basic bitch baddie.

    Episode 128:

    :/

    Can anyone explain why they're not using the quirk-removing drug on those super villains to remove their quirks? "That'd be unethical" is an invalid answer, considering their arrestment is already unethical as claimed by the guards themselves.

    The whole thing is just so dumb. Why guard a prison with weak staff that can't do shit?

    And the public being outraged at Endeavor is so construed. Millions of citizens are being killed by the villains, but they wanna shit on their best hero? Darwin award right there.

    So...the whole previous arc was a waste of time.

    At least Stain is free. Hope he does more cool shit.

    Well, this was the best (and hopefully last) retreading of the "Endeavor did bad and should feel bad, mmk?" plot line. Family solidarity is great to see, and how they tied it into Hawk's perspective of being a ghetto baby merged these two episodes together as good as they could be.

    Cool that everyone else is now catching onto the mention of "One for All" as an obvious counter to "All for One".

    Looks like next episode will be another 'talking heads in the ether' special.

    His smoke-ghost told him that the smoke ability costs too much energy ... and Midoriya kept using it for the ENTIRE episode on every move he made. Kinda annoyed me ;>

    Maybe he just thinks it cost too much energy because it cost 6th too much energy. They are making it a point that Deku has better compatibility and longevity than the previous users.

    Yeah it made no sense to say that they're using it too much when it had no obvious adverse effects.
    That said, it also had no obvious positives either. Aside from hiding Midorya from the police, there wasn't any obvious benefits to it during the fight.

    I'm glad they explained Dabi's white hair discrepancy vs fire quirk. That was really bugging me.

    Despite how far he's come, Deku can only pull off 45% power. He's got a long way to go. They're right in terms off all his powers being a tool, because against actual powerhouses, the only thing you've got is a the brute force 100% smash.

    Episode 134:

    "Lady Nagant needs first aid"

    No, she fucking needs a coffin, because she had a MASSIVE explosion happen INSIDE her body.

    God, why is the writer of this story so devoid of any balls? :/ I was already upset that Deku wanted to save her (can't let a hot female villain die, huh), then I was positively surprised when cracks appeared on her face and All for One appeared. Then the explosion happened. And then her body was still fine, except brown and grey. Sigh.

    This is just so bad. So, so bad.

    All that said, her design is kick ass.

    On the other hand, from a lore perspective.. how exactly does one plant a "breach of contract" thing inside someone? Assuming it's an application of AFO, the quick "Bomb" was planted in her to set off should she breach contract. If "Bomb" was a quirk then you'd expect a level of survivability for the user.

    I don't really understand Deku's new power. It doesn't help they didn't translate the name...

    Repeated movements store up kinetic energy for when you wish to use it.

    So I punch the air multiple times to "bank" up punching power, then use it in a big ass punch. The visual effects didn't always correspond with its charging status - like when Deku was supposedly moving his legs in midair and gained charge, he wasn't visually charged.

    So like that guy in HxH who every time he pumps his fist, his punch power multiplies.

    Phinks the blond Spider who winds his arm up to increase punching power?

    Essentially yes. Aside from the fact that he rotates his shoulders to "wind power" while Deku actually has to perform the relevant action, yes.

    Episode 135:

    - I feel like at least one whole season was skipped. wtf

    - it's SOOO obvious that the author read Berserk and wanted Deku to look like he's wearing a version of the Berserker-armor Unfortunately, I don't buy Deku's act.

    What do you mean Deku's act? It makes sense why he acts this way.
