    I think what upset me the most about Stars and Stripes is how Horikoshi kinda inadvertently shut down any potential exciting developments in world building. Stripes is already an exciting character on paper, but first real glimpse in seeing hero society outside of Japan and its to serve as a plot device. And even now Shigaraki still feels like a “Japan-only” problem in the grand scheme of things.
    I think it goes hand in hand with complaints about how the UA students are all still first years when a time skip could’ve helped the story progress more. The story feels small scope and insular with decisions like this. And it’s just frustrating.

    @In-The-Zone Před měsícem +1

    Main issue with her death here is that she is not only a #1 hero in the world but has a direct connection to All Might. To suddenly kill her off, for something that didn't truly matter is the issue. They go "Oh she bought us another week" but that means nothing when you could have just written it to be a week later that Shiguraki's body would be complete. Character sacrifices only work when it accomplishes something more than what can just be adjusted with 3 words in a sentence. If she bought a month, then yeah sure, you might be able to argue thats significant enough you can't just adjust the plot naturally and have it make sense with that gap, but a week nah.

    Big difference between watching the anime and reading manga is the year break between season 6 and 7. Watchers had plenty of time to digest the new Shigaraki, but there was only like 20 chapters between Shigaraki getting his powerup and absolutely decimating the entire Japanese hero society and Star and Stripe coming in and nerfing Shigaraki. It all happened way too fast and felt like Horikoshi realized he made Shigaraki unbeatable

    What got me while reading the manga was that I did not really think Stars was built up as a character and she was only used to just make AFO/Shiga “weaker” by removing a ton of his broken quirks that were stolen. As if Horikoshi did not believe that Class 1A nor the Japanese pro heroes were strong enough to take down this giga antagonist without emergency nerfing him.
    We got a cool fight in the end which was animated beautifully but Stars was used incorrectly and it came off as bad story writing and unable to think of a way to handle his already impossible to beat villain.

      To be fair, Shigaraki is supposed to be a world level threat. If all it took to bring him and All for One down were the heroes from one nation...ANY one nation, that kinda makes the villains look like they aren't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Having a foreign hero contribute to the ultimate downfall of the big bad helps to sell the idea that the threat this villain represented truly was world class, so much so that other nations couldn't afford to just watch while Japan took care of everything.

AND if so, there was a theory back in the past where All for one took Deku's quirk when he was a kid. What if one of those quirks Star "destroyed" was Deku's original quirk? this might be off the top but seems interesting to me so far. -if its right or wrong please don't tell me-

    I wish we had had an arc with a study abroad in America.
    That way we would have gotten to meet her.
    Which would have made her loss more impactful similar to helping Ace hurt more because we had had time with him.
    You could also have better established the ectomorph racism plot line here by having the main villain be a racist.
    This would give deku more time to train his new quirks and that means during the going rouge part of his plot-line his power development would not have felt so rushed.
    Frankly I pretend this arc happened and it makes me enjoy the series and the ending way more.
    I basically pretend the start of the movie is the premise for why they go. And move from there.
    You could have it be deku Bakugou and a few of the other students or just the whole class.
    But I get the author was overworked and tired and seemed to just want to be finished so I get that we likely lost some potential plot-lines, so I certainly don’t hold it against him.

In MHA because of her death the entire class 1A, plus others got opportunities to shine during the final battles when many complained of no screen time.

      Is there evidence for that?
      Because All For One doesn't have, and never demonstrated, that limit, as far as I know.
      It would defeat the purpose of One For All to have that kind of extreme drawback if its ability to accumulate power were so unstable and taxing on the user generationally - the power would become impossible to receive eventually, it's illogical (FYI, I dropped the manga toward the end of the first fight/war between the evolved Shigaraki and Deku - I couldn't take the manga seriously from that point on, so if there's lore about the limits of One For All, I don't know the info).
      On the basis of your logic, Deke should have imploded the moment he received One For All - no question. "INSTANT KO" 🥴💩💀
      One could certainly make the argument that whoever came after her would be dealing with IMMENSE power becaise of how incredible her quirk is - more than the total of all the other stored quirks combined.
      But, for All For One to be able to store limitless power, and All For One, the antithesis, to not be able to do the same makes no sense as to why All For One would want that power in the first place and spend decades trying to get it.
      Furthermore, Kathleen's quirk os actually the ultimate tool, hypothetically, for mastering One For All, so I can't agree with you AT ALL - 0%. She could literally program that quirk from the inside and exponentially progress her mastery and control of it - possibly within one day or several weeks.
      Kathleen was already comparable to All Might. To say she would expire is a weird point to make.
      Not to mention, her own quirk would/should increase in power tenfold, like replacing coal power plants with nuclear to power New York.
      New York would never experience a blackout again.
      Kathleen was limited by the capacity of her own quirk's power. One For All would have solved that easily by increasing her capacity and several times over as well as giving her quirk SO much more to work with.

    • @DevilHunter1994
      @DevilHunter1994 Před 25 dny +1

      @@DarrenWilsonOne There is. Most users of One For All died young while in battle, so this drawback wasn't discovered for quite some time, but I believe it was the fourth user of One for All that made it a point to avoid confronting All For One at all, because he knew that One For All had not become strong enough yet to actually stand a chance. He made the decision to live in hiding, strengthening One For All before passing it on to the next generation. Despite avoiding conflict, the fourth user still died at the age of fourty, and when his body was analyzed, it was discovered that he had died of old age. Basically, the strain of having both his original quirk, and One For All contained within him did such immense damage to his body that it caused rapid aging. After learning this, the other vestiges of One For All realized that One For All's true power could only be wielded by someone who was originally quirkless, people like All Might, and Deku.
      The body of a quirkless person can contain the power of One For All, since they were originally an empty vessel. Their body will eventually learn to adjust to the immense power of One For All with time, and training. When someone already has a quirk of their own though, and inherits One For All, it's essentially a death sentence. It causes an overflow that their body can't handle, and that overflow eventually kills them. This is why Deku is referred to as the last user of One for All, because quirkless people are becoming so rare, it's unlikely that he would ever be able to find another person who could inherit the power safely. So now, the pressure is on him to finally put an end to this war with All For One, because if he can't manage it, there likely won't ever be another chance.
      As for why All For One doesn't fall victim to this drawback, I assume that he has stolen certain quirks that could be used specifically for the purpose of repairing, or negating the damage done to his body, allowing him to take on all these powerful quirks without having to concern himself as much with the consequences of actually containing all that power. It's also possible that since his body's natural ability was always to steal quirks, perhaps his body was just naturally conditioned to make use of his ability from the beginning.

      However, given the strength of her quirk, I can agree, it's possible her death would have been hastier than other One For All users who had preexisting quirks.

    People really don't get that the point of the character was to show the situations where heroes fall short, but leave a legacy that others must seize on. She was a successor to All Might just like Deku, and came far closer to becoming just like him, but thats why she fails.
    When people decide to jump on a hate train, its very hard to convince them to get off and re-examine things.

      It was bad writing, they hated how she went out. There’s plenty of examples of deaths in anime, people get it - they just hate it.

      How is it bad writing?
      People say she didn't fulfill her potential because she died, but her death already served the narrative as well as she could, and the themes of the fight are an exellent bridge to the final arc. She tries to be like All Might and fill his role in society, just like Deku in the previous arc. When being like All Might and trying to win with force fails, she has to find her own way to be a hero, by doing something All Might couldn't do, just like Deku in the final arc.

      You can take out Everything you just said pertaining to Cassie, and apply it to All-Might and Deku's ALREADY RESOLVED character arc.

    People just don’t have reading comprehension to realized afo had more hax, better battle iq and regen that she can’t bypass. She could’ve gambled by killing her squad in a last attack, but instead plan for afo to steal her quirk to destroy him from the inside. She could only use 2 rules at 1 time so she could either protect her body and lose her quirk, or lose her body but make sure afo doesn’t steal her quirks as she destroys hella of his quirks from the inside. I wish we had more screen time with her, in the beginning of the series before she died. But to me it makes sense how she will lose that fight, after seeing the nomu fake out and how he decey underground to dodge that nuke.

    People are just too soft and get buthurt over everything all the time.
    Like man.. these people are weak.
    I remember when goku got killed when he was fighting Raditz, nobody ever got mad and said: im gonna drop this series.
    Never heard anyone say that. Because people weren't soft crybabies like they are nowadays.
