The dude's acted pretty nastily at times. His desire to pummel the MC is so strong, and his powers lend themselves so well to killing people, that I fully expect him to break down into outright villainy before long.So I decided to start reading My Hero Academia, or whatever the heck it's called.If Bakugou becomes a villain I'd be surprised because he acts waaaaaay too villainous to be a villain, if that makes any sense.
I like it, so far. Seems that superpower plots with genuine, caring heroes are becoming somewhat rare nowadays. Everyone has dark secrets or twisted motives, everyone's gotta angst, the idols everyone looks up to are frauds, etc. That sort of thing is fine, but the heroes in this manga are refreshing in how they act so...heroic. Not all of them, of course - if that Kacchan kid doesn't become a villain at some point I'll be amazed - but most of them. The idol-hero is either an amazing actor or genuinely cares about helping people. One dude has a game-breaking power but uses it primarily in natural disasters or search-and-rescue operations instead of battle. The teachers put their lives on the line to protect their students. The students (Kacchan excepted) support and assist each other. It's nice.
I'll probably start watching the anime before long, especially since I hear it's got a quality English dub. Roughly how far along is it? I'd like to keep the manga plot ahead of the anime plot.
: "If I may offer a suggestion? The House of Scholars is several days' journey from here at the best of times. Considering the position of the sun and the delay caused by that battle, there's no reason to set out today unless you are in a particular hurry. We won't be getting far tonight in any case."
: "Oh? I'd like to hear some stories sometime.
: "Good to hear. I'll admit I was a little worried, but it looks like I might have been wrong."
: "Well, that's a relief.: "I'm...so sorry. This has been a very strange day." The nun bowed towards the two privateers.: "So, your crew is only five people? I thought ships usually had more than that."
