One Piece - Lola confirmed as Big Mom's child! I guess my chat with Luke here was fruitful. The way Oda inserted that confirmation into the story was awkward, but oh well, glad to get more info.
It seems like Big Mom's power is almost identical to Moriah's, with the exception that the former Shichibukai can reanimate corpses, while Big Mom can animate anything beside corpses. I'm kinda curious if Oda did this intentionally, or if he was just running out of ideas for Devil Fruit abilities. If it was intentional, I hope these characters will interact at some point; technically Moriah is still alive somewhere as far as we know.
I'm getting a Dressrosa vibe already, but we'll see if that changes. I have a feeling all of Big Mom's ex-husbands will have similar fates to this dude, and Luffy and co. will rally them all somehow.
My Hero Academia - Yes I'm gonna drop my inner weeb and stop saying "Boku no" with this manga. I find it obnoxious with other manga I follow, so I shouldn't do it here, even if I'm more used to that title.
Anyway, I was just talking about this yesterday, but the pairing stuff is still going strong with Deku/Ochako. Like Animegaming, I'm curious if anything will come of this in story, or if they'll pussyfoot around their feelings for the rest of the manga. I like the pairing, so I hope something happens, just not at the expense of Ochako's character. I hope the author can handle this well. Best girls can have love interests...but they also need to be great chararacters in their own right.
Someone needs to punch Monoma.
New dude...I don't remember his name in entrance rankings. I thought Bakugou was the top student. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.

I feel like Moria's powers are quite different from those of Big Mom, first of all, Big Mom's is WAY stronger: she can take portions of the souls of people when Moria couldn't take portions of the shadows, seemingly Big Mom's soul can split in multiple Incarnations while Moria's shadow had to remain complete (except when it moved transforming into bats), Big Mom can kill right away people by taking all of their lifespan while Moria's power only kills people if they get in the sunlight after losing their shadow. Moria will certainly come back,but not during this arc, it was said that Moria once fought against Kaido only to be defeated by him, If anything I expect him to have a big role in the upcoming war against Kaido.

He was top in the special student selection, the same one Todoroki took part in. He ranked higher than Todoroki at the time of the selection, but when you think about it, he ranked higher than ice only Todoroki and not ice/fire. So yeah, I dunno. I feel like this might be the case of building up a threat just for it to get easily stomped and act as some kind of measure for how far everyone has come.

Well, the reason I was confused was this page, where Bakugou was said to have the top score in the entrance exam purely based on kill count. But looking on that chapter again, Todoroki wouldn't have taken the entrance exam, since he entered on referral, so Deku's comment at the end of last chapter implies he's talking about a different part of the exam.
As for the last part of your post...hm...we'll see. We're just getting out of a training arc..so something like that is definitely feasible, though this manga also hasn't had an issue letting Deku lose now and again. It hasn't quite descended to Fairy Tail levels yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Basically there were 2 exams, one for normal students like Bakugou or Izuku and another one for referral students like Todoroki (son of the 2nd best Hero) or Yaoyorozu (genius girl), the second test was probably made so that the referral students were actually good and so they didn't enter just because of some shady buisness going on (for example, Yaoyorozu beeing member of a rich family could have paid to enter U.A. but to prevent this the referral exam was set up) so I think the guy who ranked #1 means actual business. That beeing said I get the feeling from his attitude that he went to the other school thinking of beeing the best in the world and ended up beeing the worst student in the class: that's why he was entusiastic about U.A. : he spent the whole year beeing the worst of the class and now he has the chance to prove he's stronger than someeone: the U.A. students that he classifies as inferior due to him ranking #1 at the referral exam. In this scenario his class mates would be the actual threat to the U.A.students and would also explain why the students didn't bother helping him when he started bleeding (it might also be related to his power).
