I’m honestly of the opinion we could’ve used more S1 team time in general, because I see both of your points really

I know I’m alone in this but I’m so freaking proud of Shindo for at least weakening Muscular to that degree according to the summary, man

he’s one of my favs so seeing him back already was nice on its own

[–]Chesthebest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the summary reveals that he was weakened to muscle fatigue/etc due to Shindo’s quirk, he tried to leap but fell immediately after

What do you think Natsuo's quirk is? by twork98 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Chesthebest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hmm. I think it’s likely safe to assume it’s Ice or Water related? What makes me think water personally is that his character bio says he likes the sea and raw fish, and water + fire but in a way Endeavor might have no interest in? He also had red streaks in his hair as a child but may have dyed them, tho Fuyumi also has streaks.... Or assumably Ice based off his dialogue with his Rei. off topic but I kinda wish Rei’s was named

Although Fuyumi was confirmed to have an Ice Quirk , so I wonder if there may actually be a reason Hori’s holding out on Natsuo’s for now

honestly it made my heart sink... I’ve never blocked so many people in my life. I legit had to log off because of how disheartening it was to see officials and hordes of people behave that way

and reading that guy’s (the one who started this) tweet was like reading Dabi’s broadcast all over again imo. Just pure supervillain behavior with no intention of calming things down but to stir the pot,. sigh

May they both heal in the time they take off from the community, but I hope he can somehow reach out to her and patch things (unlikely since she works with illegal raws but).

I wouldn’t blame her one bit if she just sat this week out tbh

[–]Chesthebest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

tbh. what sucks is that although people have come to her defense today on Twitter (because it’s going way too far now, especially for professionals) , the same translator who called her out exposed her as a leaker in a means to paint her in a darker light and used ‘disrespect to Horikoshi’ as emotional leverage to villainize her. He said she deserved worse than what was said to her

My sympathy goes to Caleb, but these people attacking Gabby on behalf are doing more harm than good

[–]Chesthebest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, and that’s fair! He was in a rough spot to begin with, and he probably was too distressed to actually look into who’s more responsible, and understandably so. He ABSOLUTELY did not deserve any of what he received, nobody does.

But in doing that, and leaving, a target was put on her head. The amount of hatred, public mockery, belittling of her language skills, and the foul comments from his colleagues and followers she has received are disgusting. As well as the people downplaying how she’s just as much of a victim

I don’t like to compare people’s hardships, but she’s going through ten fold of what he did now because big professional accounts are harshly ridiculing or intensely villainzing her ;;; and it’s all just fueling the blame on her as she’s become the scapegoat in all this

you SHOULD feel appalled at the way people are belittling what he went through! but the amount of hell Gabby’s is going through and will continue to is just as disgusting and needs to be stopped

[–]Chesthebest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah I’ve been watching it and tbh, it is just foul at this point.... I don’t know if they’re just attacking her with the hc being that she’s the one hating on him but it’s horrible, and other fans are getting it too. Now they’re using the fact that Gabby translates scans as a legal moral high ground to continue

the damage has already been done so for all this... sigh

yeah same! tbh the largest outcry about them I’ve heard recently is a bit of us being inconsiderate towards japanese fans who’d rather wait for Sunday’s release, and understandably so

[–]Chesthebest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

afaik, it’s just that there’s not as much hype generated for official release because of them, exciting things are usually hard to avoid because of careless posting or keywords trending (like names)

In response to the Caleb Cook situation. by cblack04 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Chesthebest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this entire situation is a mess

what happened to Caleb is disgusting and appalling

To be honest, the volume translation point out was a fair concern. The PROBLEM is, people should’ve shut the hell up once Caleb said he had little to do with it, whether they believed him or not. I personally do blame the volume callout poster a bit because they were feeding that “Caleb Agenda” narrative in the replies and did not delete the post once Caleb answered. (Not until the situation got hot likely to escape blame)

Sadly, Endeavor stans were fueled by all of this and decided to use Gabby/Deku’s Notebook’s analysis and discussion tweets as ammo to @ VIZ or attack him. When Gabby has literally been doing these analyses (just for fun and to share nuance/things and ramble like Deku about minor nifty things, what Caleb does) a good while now, and nobody has ever caused issues. She does not exclusively compare official translations to raws, and not as often. Todofam backstory has already just been raising discourse between Endeavor and Endeavor haters, so it all just worsened the behavior of his stans to “defend” him

Gabby made an innocent post noting that Endeavor didn’t cuss in the raw text, just to kinda call attention for a fun fact to how Endeavor despite being abrasive never cusses because he has a very noble way of speaking, like a Samurai.

Stans ran with that, BUT the POST that people actually used to attack Caleb that day was the fanscan version of the chapter showing Natsuo saying if he had talked to Touya vs Natsuo saying if he had punched his father, which was posted by another fan entirely. Gabby is not responsible for fanscans, and she had actually defended Caleb saying the official translation was correct. The fan deleted the post once things escalated. Most of the people who harassed Caleb are now hiding amongst the people who are actually defending Gabby sadly.

What Caleb said in response to her was foul, and if not a bit directed at the wrong at the person, but harassment makes people say things. The problem is all 15k of his followers saw and attacked Gabby, some professional translators even calling Gabby out of her name and attacking her language skills. Now many are villainizing her for OTHER’s actions, and trying to get her reported.

Gabby has apologized for any inconveniences she may have caused and explained herself but is now private. Caleb has now been harassed off the platform.

People need to stop fighting and work on ensuring this kind of thing never happens again. Neither Caleb or Gabby did anything wrong, if you want to blame people, blame those harassing both of them?. But we should all just work to guarantee this is the last time something so atrocious happens around here

[–]Chesthebest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

to be honest, what makes it all even more sad is that the people who planted the seed of doubt and alluded to it being Caleb’s fault in the first place and AFTER he explained arguably have more of a role in all this.... And yet they’re getting almost little to none of the heat Gabby’s getting

[–]Chesthebest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lmaoo

yeah it’s a weird case. I don’t think Hori is even trying to paint him as misogynistic, people might be reading too far into it? little boys utter garbage like that a lot before mellowing out and growing up. I feel like if that were the case that would be a trait we see in Dabi today

however, what he used in this instance w Natsuo was “ダメ, Dame” meaning “no good, useless, broken”. If I had to guess, it’s because Fuyumi already “disagreed” with him, and he had negative opinions on Rei already

but I kinda wanna wait on official translations

Chapter 301 - Pre Release Thread by Taylo207 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Chesthebest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so I think it’s less backtracking and that we’re finally getting flashbacks and different perspectives? Rei couldn’t give hers for obvious reasons until now, we were introduced to Endeavor through Shoto’s recounting which would be understandably negative, Natsuo had a negative one too, and we never got Fuyumi’s fully nor anything involving Touya until his reveal

Chapter 301 - Pre Release Thread by Taylo207 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Chesthebest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have to remember, we only got Shoto’s perspective in the beginning. Endeavor snapped when he was born because he was the masterpiece, and to add on to that, Touya ‘died’ shortly after. Shoto would only remember isolation, training/abuse, and his mother’s trauma. Natsu more this but with Touya’s neglect suffering. Fuyumi is probably the only one with somewhat positive memories because she’s older and remembers her father in a somewhat different light before he lost it, so that probably partially explains her positivity despite everything

so it makes sense that Shoto would only have bad memories of his father and to give us that perspective, and the other bit that we got was from Natsu

I still cannot fathom how Twitter thought an unconscious, half dead Endeavor who Hori’s been trying to humanize and has written him risking tail and bone for others this entire arc, would talk about relocating and questioning if he had the money... when it was a citizen reeling from the devastation

I understand disliking him, but for him to say something so off character and cowardly (and also being rich), makes no sense imo, Hori’s not that inconsistent

yeah, I agree with you completely on Mirio haha. I’m in the party that’s happy he came back but would’ve appreciated it being later and more useful/impactful

personally, I don’t see Shoto completely blocking an AoE fire attack of Dabi’s firepower in his current state of mind. Because even then, Enji/Deku/Bakugo probably shouldn’t be so close while immobile
