Glad to see my favorite Jaegers getting time to shine.
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

I hate that I'm going to have to kinda sorta defend this, so let me preface by saying that Shin still being able to move is dumb.
But keep in mind that Houken unconsciously holding back against people with GREAT GENERAL SPIRITTM has been a thing for the entire manga; it was explicitly why Ouki was able to match him, and later why Duke Hyou could wound him. So it's entirely possible that this isn't Shin actually getting a power-up, but rather Houken unconsciously weakening himself in response to his refusal to go down.
I really like how they made IG-11, completely mechanical and efficient movements with virtually no human modeling

Why do comics still do that stupid 'hand clap stops sword cut' crap? And it's so overused that when someone does it, it's virtually unnoticeable.
...I suppose the second thing is a bonus.
Also, it makes me sad that Doctor Doom is still using old-school Marvel sorcery, while Strange...isn't. Although it's good to see that stuff is still around.

Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
See point below.
Pretty much, yeah.
This is a possible premise, okay.
It's still an entirely silly scene to me, because if true, it means Houken is holding back an awful lot. He goes from monstering all over Shin, to being pushed back by critically injured Shin.
However, if this is what the writer intends, I'm somewhat cool with it because it makes any 'victory' Shin gets over Houken to be absolutely meaningless in terms of 'how much Shin has suddenly grown'. Basically, if he wins it'll be because Houken essentially threw the fight.

This is fantastic.
God I hope this election goes well.

Well, Netflix has pulled off a rather epic fail.
They revealed the name of the main character in their upcoming show Messiah.
Why is this a problem?
Because the character's name translates to spoilers:end of spoilers
Anti-Christ
One suppose that's more than likely the point of that reveal.
spoilers:end of spoilers
The Anti-Christ isn't supposed to be some 'Damien from The Omen' hellspawn, but a false prophet that draws attention to himself as he claims to speak for God, up to and including supernatural portent and miracles.
Granted, I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder, lol
My Hero Academia: In my shipper mind that keychain is basically the current placeholder for an IzuOcha engagement ring. So that makes me happy.
More plot relevant though, spoilers:end of spoilers
Kurogiri is apparently Aizawa and Mic's long lost classmates Shirakumo.
I feel like we could've gotten quite a bit more build up to this revelation.
