    I've seen her being able to do that in some fanfics, but it's canon now?
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    Yeah, it's very well planned out. Especially for a series that ran so long.

    Shin has a 'fighting for friends and beliefs' moment.

    Shin then injures the other guy with his next attack, kills him with the following one.

    If it happened once, I'd be okay with it, but Kingdom is just brimming with 'I won't lose because I refuse to lose' moments. It's starting to get really grating, and takes all of the drama out of the fights (and, let's face it, Kingdom is now 80% fights).

    I think the thing that's hurting the series here is the weekly format. I was super fatigued on this arc like a month or so ago but I ended up, for various reasons, going back and reading large chunks of Kingdom again and, in a straight read through, this arc felt so much better and tighter than I had thought it was previously.

    Pacing does a lot.

    I get what you're saying. For me, I'm just losing my will to read it.

    She did mention it before during the Overhaul arc.

    That's fair, I'm still super on board.

    Did you look at any of the series I suggested? You might find them more to your tastes.

    Huh, never thought I'd say it but Out...Kinda sucks now. Maybe it's because the current arc in the manga has now reached to a real dragging point with a dose of bullshit in between.

    Especially with Toga's personality. BTW, I like how these last few chapters have made it super clear that she's not a sympathetic victim gone mad or anything. Toga is just freaking cray cray.

    There are probably some limitations to the power copying. Possibly similar to Monoma's.

    But yeah, it's a canon thing now.

    I find it funny how she drinks blood out of people with a straw like they're slurpies. Got me wondering if she carries one around all the time, and if it's a bendy straw or even one of those crazy straws.

    I'd never try to kill them on their first workout but with how sedentary they are even though I'm going to go light they're probably still going to hurt.


    I inquired about an MMA gyms prices recently and they wouldn't give them to me over the phone. They said come check us out first and then we'll talk. You already know what that means.

    One thing I find pretty hilarous about Endgame spoilers:
    Is that Miek and Korg survived the snap and know spend their time playing videogames on Thor's coach
