One Piece: Gear Fourth in the hizzouse!!!

Everyone on VGC: turns away like they don't know him

So Urouge was strong enough to defeat one of Big Mom's commanders, I didn't expect that. Mostly because he's the probably least exposed member of the Worst Generation so far, alongside Bonnie. I hope he gets more involved in this arc...though isn't he connected to Kaidou's crew somehow? I thought he was shown before Kaidou jumped out of Sky Island.  

Hero Academia: New cute girl...I'm certainly complaining.

I wonder what the fired-up dude's power is. Specific levitation? Guy is a BAMF for sure.

I feel like this chapter went by way too fast...but I'm psyched for the next one.

Yes, I am reading and caught up to Boku no Hero Academia. Originally, I wasn't going to read it because I disliked the 'proto' story where Deku was an adult salesman for a hero gadget company, but a friend promised me that the actual series was much better and I had to agree with him after trying.

I actually like one-shots a lot, especially when I'm aware of the series beforehand. I agree with you on the HA one-shot though...that was a bit of a turn-off. Deku looked really homely, and the previous iteration of All Might (who was basically that gun slinger hero in the main story) wasn't nearly as interesting. The actual story changed the setting and characters pretty drastically, it seems like the only things it shared with the main story is the MC's name and the hero theme.

Speaking of one-shots, I started reading Shokugeki no Soma recently, and the one-shot in that manga was pretty enjoyable. Erina was a student teacher, and Soma was a student that kept skipping class. It ended with her basically declaring Soma her rival, which is amusing after watching the anime.

Another one-shot I really liked was Seven Deadly Sins. I find the main duo pretty dull in the actual story, but their personalities in the one-shot were terrific. Boke Elizabeth easily trumps her canon version, and an irritable Meliodas that actually shows emotion is much more amusing than the Amazing Smirking-Super-Shota. This page in particular killed me (putting it in a link instead of posting the image, since this is family thread).
