ben0119 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 He can combine the things he eats? Nice. I mean I think these guys are kind of easy to understand. They are grateful to the Yakuza guy for taking them in after society rejected them and people screwed them over. I don't know if I would consider them brain-washed either. Ate the crystals... good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Kohaku has a lot of promise. But even with Dr. Stone I'm kinda still waiting for Kohaku to really get to do something again, even though I love her. They keep writing around her needing to be the fighter of the group since her fight with Tsukasa.

ben0119 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) I didn't even realize Magna was supposed to be a transwoman until she died. She basically just looked like a goofy/ugly kind of [male] character. I didn't really think much of the character one way or the other. Then she was killed without fanfare and we find out via MHA wikia this info. Ok lol. And I could not find anything on the character just now when I searched. Apparently her name is actually Magne and not Magna. Don't know if Funimation changed the spelling or what. But yeah, it was like she never existed when I looked up My Hero Academia Magna. A fan character and Black Clover's Magna showed up before that lmao. People typo-ing manga as magna and google asking me if I really meant manga (no I didn't!) did not help either, lmao.

This character wasn't referenced as far as I could tell on Magne's wikia page, (which took some doing to find due to possible Funi character name spelling change or possible misspelling by us) so I don't have a pic or name, and I'm not going to look further and end up stumbling on spoilers. I guess somebody could go back to whatever episode that was. But that is the one who looked liked a bad transvestite. Magne just looks like a homely dude, with no hints given in the actual story that she's actually a woman, much less a transwoman. This is gay Dumbledore level lol.

I guess the author wanted to make it the size of a typical classroom, but so many of those characters are not needed and barely, if ever, used. And yeah there are few girls, compared to boys. But I don't know if any conscious effort is made to make the boy-girl ratio equal in real classrooms, either in Japan, the U.S., or elsewhere, or how it might work in the world in MHA, and how it might differ for hero schools. But if there were more girls maybe that would just be more wasted girls, like the other wasted guys in the class, like kangaroo boy, tape boy, Dr. Dolittle, sugar guy, etc. We really need a character guide thread because I can not remember anyone's names, lol. But, hard to remember the names of characters that never get focused on! Anyway, it's not saying much, but at least the girls aren't incompetent and weak like in Naruto. They just don't seem to be given much to do. I had hopes for this arc, since they were being included in this big mission, but they all got stuck on the outside of the compound fighting a minor henchman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not but that's the size of a regular public school class, as well as any private Japanese high school class. I agree that not every classmate needs to be there in terms of story relevance. Like that one guy who's name I forgot. And that OTHER guy i can't remember.

Didn't I just say it was probably done because it's the size of a typical classroom? But there are a lot of differences in the hero school compared to normal schools already, no need to keep the classes that size and make a bunch of unneeded extra characters. Exactly lmao.
