MHA Vol 38 Obi:
Toga: I heard that it [the cover art] was initially supposed to be bloodier and scarier, that it was drawn to be like a horror movieâs poster.
Toga: It seems like he came back to his senses halfway while drawing. He mustâve been possessed by something.
TUM Vol 5:
All Might: The cover was drawn to be summer-yâŠ
All Might: But to be honest, the season in the main events* [in Team Up Missions] is actually winterâŠ
Deku: Letâs just say that more emphasis is put on the mood of the piece and leave it at thatâŠ!
*T/N: Initially confused this æŹç·š/honpen (âmain storyâ) for the main story of MHA but that canât be possible lol. But itâd make sense if it were TUM timeline since itâs set somewhere before the start of next yearâs spring.
Late post for Dekuâs pair of shoes that Horikoshi drew for yesterdayâs episode.
Dekuâs shoes being off his feet means that he can finally rest, but in most Asian countries at least, taking off your shoes also mean that youâre home.
So yeah, Dekuâs finally home, thanks to the endeavors of his classmates.
The art itself is simple, but the meaning behind it is powerful.

âWhile working to produce âBokuraâ, the MHA episode today was the episode that Iâm especially emotionally attached to. Iâm movedâŠand here are the front and back covers [of the single] that just got revealedâŠ.đ„Čâ
I decided to create a separate, more detailed post, since I usually delete the weekly translation post after the official chapter is released.
I donât know if Viz will translate the pieces, but Iâm sure they probably wonât be able to fit the English translation of the letters (or what can be seen of it) because English words are Just Long.
Iâve been really busy so thereâs no telling when I can feel not tired enough to TL so hereâs a summary â
EDIT: forgot to add read more :P
-All Might is shown studying how to teach (thereâs a book called âHow to Be a Teacher vol 3)
-He ponders over how itâs starting to be cold nowadays and sees Aizawa carrying his usual sleeping bag
-All Might tells Aizawa to take care of his sleeping conditions more, but Aizawa says heâs fine this way since he âcan immediately wake up this wayâ and how itâs âlogical since heâs tasked with protecting his studentsâ and leaves.
-All Might mutters âLogicalâŠhuhâ. He looks down on his books, specifically a page that says âQ: I want to get along with my students but donât know how toâ and gets an idea.
****
-We skip to the studentsâ holidays, first up: Kaminari & Mineta
-Kaminari and Mineta are planning a Super Secret Investigation, with Mineta pulling out a measuring tape
-They sneakily move inside a certain room and after confirming that no-one is inside, they do their thing.
-Aizawa discovers them hyping about âhow this is like thatâ and how âitâs a super important piece of infoâ
-Aizawa asks them what theyâre doing in the teachersâ dorm
-Kaminari and Mineta are shocked heâs here and asks him why heâs here, to which Aizawa replies that even if itâs a holiday heâs always keeping an eye on his students so that they donât overdo on the fun.
-Aizawa menacingly repeats his question: What are you doing here?
-Kaminari and Mineta run away, yelling that theyâre not doing anything suspicious.
****
-Scene changes to Dekuâs holiday
-After washing his face, he monologues about how even though itâs a holiday, he doesnât have any time to play around with a serious face
-Turns out the serious thing he needs to do is open all his All Might/hero blind merch lol
-He begs and prays for All Mightâs rare merch to come home
-We skip to the future a little and weâre shown a Deku whoâs still opening hero merch. He talks about the heroes whose cards he got: Crust (who is revealed to have a younger brother, also a hero. Their team up made news recently), Mitoma (???) and Toy-toy (sheâs a hero specializing in reconnaissance). No All Might yet at this point. On the floor we see 2 small figures of Hawks and one of Endeavor
-Next, Deku reads all his pent-up hero magazines. Itâs filled with usual irl celebrity stuff like love scandals (Dekuâs like those two?! I didnât expect that) lol. Cementoss is revealed to write a column for the mag, which is coming back after hiatus (Dekuâs like âI CANT WAIT)
-Lastly, he writes the usual hero info on his notebook and exclaims that he needs to preorder All Mightâs latest figure.
-We see him muttering about how heâs already broke this month and how doing Mightivites* is hard since heâs only a student
*All Might-related activities lol
-Deku is however, determined to not give up because everyone in class A is doing the same with their limited pocket money and looks determined to full-cowl his brain since itâs no time to play around.
****
-We skip to nighttime, to the girlsâ holiday. The girls are seen sewing. Momo offers them decaf rooibos tea while they take a break. Ashido teases Uraraka about her crush again (sigh)
-Aizawa comes to the class A dorms and tells them to go to bed since itâs late. The girls agree and scurry off suspiciously.
-Aizawa seems to feel like something is off
****
-Skip to Bakugo, Kirishima, Sero and Todorokiâs holiday next day. Theyâre climbing a snowy mountain.
-Bakugo is far ahead of the other three who looks tired and tells them to not drop dead yet. He also tells them to not follow him as they like.
-Sero tells Bakugo that mountain climbing is great and it can help them build up stamina as well
-Kirishima adds that itâs much safer with more people but Bakugo only looks to his goal tells him that heâs capable of climbing alone.
-The 4 reach their destination and sees the sunrise (?). Hard to tell the time of the day lol.
-Kirishima yells about how the satisfaction of reaching the goal is great
-Bakugo says that itâs a privilege only those who finished climbing can feel, only for Sero to say that heâs taken a pic and sent it to the class A chat group lol. Bakugo threatens to push him off the cliff djdjsj
-Todoroki watches the sky and warns the group that the weather starting to get suspicious
-And indeed the weather suddenly changes to a snowstorm the next panel
-Sero is shown violently shuddering from the cold. Todoroki attempts to warm him up with his quirk only for Bakugo to stop him and say that itâs time for them to test out âthatâ
****
-Another skip to another scene, focusing on Todorokiâs holiday (2). Heâs shown staring at blank paper.
-Deku and Iida visit his room.
-Todoroki confesses that heâs starting run out of things to write to his mother.
-Deku asks him if heâs written about their team up with Mic to the city of art (Iida quips on how itâs the one where Bakugo got turned into a painting).
-Todoroki responds by saying that he didnât get permission from Bakugo to write about it. Deku is like âyou went to ask Kacchan for permission??â
-Todoroki asks Deku for suggestions, who of course only suggests All Might related stuff.
Todoroki: âPlease give me something not too biased towards All Mightâ
-Deku is like âSorry âą . âąâ and Todoroki is like âNo, sorry for askingâ
-Todoroki doesnât have any ideas heâs starting to look through health magazines about specialized acupuncture points for a good nightâs sleep to write about
-Iida is reminded about their original purpose on visiting after hearing Todoroki talk about a good nightâs sleep. Deku is also reminded and says that thereâs something he wants him to help them about.
-Todoroki is like âOhâ and says that he hasnât written to his mother about âthatâ.
-Iida and Deku are like âTHATâS IT!!â
****
-Weâre shown a panel of Reiâs hospital room (the gentian is ofc there)
-Then we skip to the darkened Class A dorm, with Aizawa opening the entrance door. He tells his students that if they stay up late itâll affect their performance tomorrow.
-Surprise!!! The whole class is there and they tell Aizawa thank you for everything heâs done for them.
-Back to Rei, we see her smiling at Todorokiâs letter and it reveals what the kidsâ are up to: theyâre preparing a surprise for Aizawa!
-They gift Aizawa with a new warm sleeping bag.
-Kaminari tells Aizawa that the whole class cooperated in its creation:
-Kaminari and Mineta sneaked to the teachersâ dorm to measure Aizawaâs current sleeping bag
-Deku is in charge of the designing/planning (which is why heâs already broke and also why he mentions the rest of the classâ pocket money lol)
-Momo created the materials and the rest of the girls sew
-Bakugo and co. helped out with the quality check (turns out Sero is the Guinea pig, Bakugo the guide to make sure they donât die, Kirishima is there because heâs tough, Todoroki the heater shsjsns).
-AndâŠ.it was all All Mightâs idea in the first place!
-Everything clicked for Aizawa at last, but he says that the students should use their limited break time for more important things like training.
-The students complain and are like âwe know that!â and All Might is like âYouâre so strictâŠâ
-The last panels show Aizawa commenting about how the sleeping bag is warm.
How long did it take oda to get such an ideal sequel from shounen jump not saying he doesnât work hard cause over 20 years is no joke but I think it benefits shounen jump to give the mangaka breaks
Oda is a notorious workaholic and it took him working until he actually collapsed from overwork and needed to be hospitalized that WSJ took matters into their hands and managed his schedule.
He was hospitalized in 2013. ONE PIECE started serialization 1997. So, 16 years.
Now he takes one break every 3 chapters. I still think itâs far from ideal, and imo the break schedule should be rotated among to current WSJ authors too.
And yeah, we see improvements with the art when the authors are given time, idk why they wonât.
"horikoshi really likes bakugou" is this the famous tough love i've heard about đ
Yes lol.
Horikoshi is obviously very invested in Bakugoâs journey towards being better and the narrative he writes continuously punishes him for being a massive asshole to Deku before.
That beating by Shigaraki he got should be last though imo. One of the last chapters before he âdiedâ was titled âThe Man Who Made Some Progressâ in regards to Bakugo being a heroâand I donât doubt there will be even more progress.
I think one of the main difference between Horikoshi and some of his fans is that he doesnât shy away from giving Bakugo all the difficult trials in his journey towards being a better human being. Like, he knows this will only drive character development in him. Babying him, treating him as if he is a dainty, fragile thing, will not.
Not that Bakugo himself will enjoy being treated like heâs a fragile baby anyway. Heâs a character whoâs driven by competitivenessâand nobody but Hori knows that the best.

Ashihara (world trigger) also went on to a monthly schedule due to health reasons right? I'm wondering when did the editorial decide to put him on a monthly schedule? Was it when it became too extreme or was it Ashihara sensei asked for it...
I think Ashihara has no choice but to go on a monthly schedule because he suffers from a form of cervical spondylosis.
His disease causes him to feel numbness on his neck-shoulder area, and according to JP sources it even prevents him from moving when itâs bad.
So yeah. There was no way heâs continuing on with a weekly schedule, and even on monthly he takes sudden breaks when needed.
Thankfully, World Trigger fans in general are very understanding and supportive of him.
I understand that's a peculiar situation, but Oda has been saying "One Piece will end in 2 months" for like... 10 years? So yeah, sometimes SJ authors don't really understand the pacing of their own story đ
Take Gintama. The WSJ editorial announced that itâd end in 5 chapters with a lot of fanfare and it did! âŠâŠâŠ..on WSJ only lol
The author wasnât able to end it and moved it to Jump Giga whereâŠâŠâŠâŠ.it also didnât end in one chapter.
Gintama continued for whole 3 chapters of 50ish pages (Giga is published every 3 months) before the author finally ended it. Itâs wholesome that the reason Gintama wasnât able to end is because the author couldnât bear parting with his characters :â)
Also moving to Giga brought great improvements to Gintamaâs art. It was pretty good before (Gintamaâs artstyle might not suit everyoneâs tastes), became better with a 1 chapter every 3 months pace.
But anyway, I donât doubt there are authors who can predict and schedule their chapters well, but imo Horikoshi feels like one of those authors who cannot. The fact that he said âhighly likely* that last poll was MHAâs lastâ instead of being decisive with the wording is because he canât cross out the possibility that it wonât end by whatever deadline heâs set this year.
*the wording used is æăă/osoraku which is used when chances are around 80-90% but still canât brush off the 10-20% alternative possibility.
Speaking of which, a Japanese artist I followed on twitter talked about the origins of the word ârivalâ a few days ago. They mentioned it having the Latin word ârivusâ (meaning âsmall riverâ) as its origin and Iâm like. WellâŠ.
To be exact, it is Latin ârivusâ (small river; stream) to Latin ârivalisâ (âtwo people sharing the same riverâ, as water source presumably) to English ârivalâ in its current meaning.
Wow theyâre updating a lot of things, including profiles of the OFA holders revealed in the anime. Nothing beyond what the manga hasnât yet revealed though, so no OFA2 and OFA3 (altho the PV spoiled that lol), no birthdates etc. Also no En quirk, since thatâs next week.
They added the name of Yoichiâs original quirk though (and spoiled his name too before anime reveal lol).
Apparently Yoichiâs original quirk was called âQuirk Bestowment/Grantingâ
I donât think that was revealed before? We did know that his quirk allows him to give others quirks (?) though right?
