My Hero Academia 100 Review: More Lessons

Boku no Hero Academia, Chapter 100: Special Moves


It's mostly a bit of an introdump chapter where we learn a bit of the importance of special moves -- both as a confidence tool to the public. Cementoss creates cement arenas and Ectoplasm creates his ecto-clones for the students to battle in one of their stadiums. It's just a lot of setup, really, and we get to see short scenes of several students trying out their tricks. Bakugou is ferocious, Ashido is hilarious, Mineta is surprisingly eager to perfect his grape rush, Kaminari wants to create a Chidori...

And Midoriya is just confused, and All Might shows up in his weakened form to give the students a quick series of encouragement -- though, y'know, mostly Midoriya. Telling Midoriya not to copy him all the time and find something to call his own, before making good on his promise to Bakugou and going off to teach the other students as well. Cool stuff, nothing too heavy. We get to see that All Might also has this notebook full of notes similar to Midoriya.

We get a bit where Midoriya heads off to seek costume upgrades, and, well, because it's basically a mad scientist's lab, it explodes in his face. Hastume flies out of the workshop and lands on Midoriya in a, well, as sexually suggestive as twelve-year-olds can get. Of course, Uraraka (and Iida, but who cares) just happens to come by. Midoriya absolutely freaks out because, well, Hatsume is wearing a tank top that shows off her... ample... assets.

Yeah, this arc's going to be more comedic than anything, is it? I really just hope the fanservice is limited to wacky moments and doesn't take up 90% of the manga like a certain other shonen I can name.
