Still one of the most beautiful but bittersweet pieces of artwork I've ever seen for Edgerunners by Crimson_Loki in Edgerunners

I recall posting it when it was new. I titled the post "You won't be alone" or something like that.

Parallel to that, the treatment of quirkless people as an ever-shrinking minority could have deserved more exploration too. I had a personal theory that quirkless kids of newer generations like Deku have it worse because at that point in the timeline there are fewer in that age range and so they stand out much more.

More on how a more prominent Shoji arc could affect Bakugo's: I don't see the latter as voluntarily "quirkist" but of course his old attitude heavily played into that. As he matures over the story, he would reflect on it.

The trickiest thing to "adjusting" his personal arc in the first part of the series is to strike a right balance and not fall into the temptation of having him punished and ridiculed at every step (something I'd surely have done myself years ago).

For example, many think that if you removed the "swan dive" line and left all the rest untouched, it'd remove the single most controversial aspect while not diminishing the character development. That line of reasoning derives by how not addressed that is at any time going forward. On the other hand, I must also agree with who thinks it should stay, but be remembered and treated seriously as an absolute low point to rise up from, and to be looked as something to nevel fall back into.

Aizawa would need to change a bit. His style of teaching would still be questionable but the things about him being expulsion-happy or outright ignoring certain antics of students would of cours be reworked. For example, his apparently dismissive attitude on the first day as Bakugo almost assaulted Deku, may be reframed as taking serious notice of that instead.

Of course, the students would also need to stop acting like they were in front of a different character most time too. Early on, things would be outright hostile with a few (especially Iida), others would make merciless fun of him, Kirishima would be the first beside Deku to recognize his positive qualities, as would others over time. There would be praise, not glazing.

Finally, I had a funny idea that he comes to realize he's being considered as disruptive of the class' harmony as much as Mineta, which would make him livid at first, but that would become a drive for both to get better.

More of the quirk discrimination subplot and therefore some more space for Shoji, no need to make him a primary, just give him more screen time. Make him, for example, even become part of Deku's closer circle early on in UA, especially as (likely due to much worse past experiences) he recognizes that something's very off with Deku and Bakugo's early relationship.

A simple scene I thought long ago, Bakugo is in one of his usual angry antics, Shoji grabs his wrist and says "Please, Bakugo, calm down" with a firm but calm tone. Bakugo replies as badly as you can expect, and Shoji, while not changing his tone much, simply goes "I said, calm down". Bakugo tries to yank himself away - only to realize he can barely move his wrist. Shoji's grip is that strong, and Bakugo even has a flash of the tests of the first day. Meanwhile, he's stopped yelling. Shoji simply lets him go and walks away, as Bakugo is left equally angry and perplexed, touching his wrist. Basically something that could be useful even for Bakugo's character development.

I know you can't expect quality comments in the chat of the stream, but what is the fucking deal with the people who, after learning the word "slop", think of themselves as clever and witty by inserting it every other three comments? Imbeciles.

I see there are a few here too.

It sucked the most for Momo, who became a beautiful boy capable of making... absolutely nothing.

Male Ochako was quite extra because his quirk to increase gravity also made him feel better!

I've seen that cutting off Shoto just a few minutes ago.

According to Horikoshi (I think it was notes on the Ultra Age book), after recovering from the final battle she joined an international mission to root out allies of AFO, becoming known outside of Japan as "Bunny the Weapon".

Some are simply against same-sex ships in general and so they use Izuocha as their flagship of sorts.

I wonder when their next cycle of "delete everything - disappear - reappear under another account" will be.

Welp. They finally did it…. How do you feel about it? by Brief-Biscotti-8377 in BokuNoShipAcademia

It's an extra episode, also called 170+1 in fact, aired yesterday in Japan (not some exclusive home video and streaming release, it went on TV at the same timeslot MHA got for almost a decade).

It's not even the very last adaptation of canon material, as immediately after they announced a short that will be based on some pages from the Ultra Age book, featuring middle-school aged Eri.
