#geten is a himura confirmed

[antiquity1111]

I forgot to mention this in my translation for BNHA No.387, but Geten is using his Quirk despite wearing the Quirk-suppressing shackles used at Tartarus and Atsuhiro/Mr. Compress is connected to some kind of machine with a tube inserted into his abdomen.

The illustrations show a slick coating of ice forming on the walls of Geten’s cell and misty condensation clouds flitting through his and Atsuhiro’s cells (the cold air is escaping Geten’s cell to enter Atsuhiro’s cell through the vent to Geten’s right). Their breath is visible as they exhale. It seems the Quirk-suppressing shackles don’t work on element-based Quirks like Geten’s. That’s a cool bit of info and great to know for all you fanfic writers. That would mean that the shackles would also not be effective on Touya’s Quirk, eh? That poses a problem now, doesn’t it, if we are to assume that Touya will survive the war and be imprisoned in Japan’s maximum security prison for people with especially tricky or dangerous Quirks? What’s to stop him from breaking himself (and his friends, assuming they survive) out of prison and disappearing into the night?

Moving on to Mr. Compress, I’m no medical expert, but I think that that equipment might be something like a peritoneal dialysis machine or artificial liver support system. In either case, the technology would be doing the job of filtering his blood of impurities and toxins that would otherwise build up in his body with life-threatening consequences and assisting with, or performing, other major functions of the liver.

The continued need for medical assistance to keep him alive means that Atsuhiro/Mr. Compress did, in effect, sacrifice his own life for Dabi, Toga, Spinner, and Tomura. He fully expected and was prepared to die for the sake of the League of Villains. Now, it seems the only thing standing between him and certain death is a machine.

Can I please know your thoughts on ch 406?

Spoilers under the cut:

Update on battlefields:

what is shown and what isn't shown is equally interesting. Takoba Arena is confirmed to be Gashly, and it looks like his quirk is to make a flood of scary babies or Chucky dolls? Only Ojirou is shown + Ryukyu who I was sure would be here. I hope we'll get a close-up, as it looks super-creepy. Sero is still nowhere to be seen though, even though we know he'll have a moment

Hagakure still seems to be visible. I wonder if Aoyama glitched her quirk for good or if she'll figure it out how to turn it on / off.

Gunga is not shown at all - I'm guessing because maybe some things are happening as we speak (notably Toga being saved).

Aizawa and Kurogiri reminder confirms that they will be back in play and if Warp Gate is back, others could be coming through.

Fight:

I didn't think Bakugou's revival would be 80% comic relief tbh, so I'm still recalibrating my brain. But I appreciate how goofy he looks trying to gain control over his quirk upgrade. 🤣 I generally appreciate if someone doesn't get something 100% on first try.

It's also confirmed that pre-upgrade Bakugou doesn't have the power of Endeavor or Dark Shadow - something for the power-scalers to play with. I expect he's gonna get past it though once he figures out how to get his sweat into one focus point?

AFO going again with the "I'm not gonna fight back" and "I'm gonna be a moron because he pisses me off" - ngl is getting really tiring and makes for a worse fight (especially knowing how Bakugou doesn't appreciate opponents not giving their all). I mean, at the moment it's more like a goofy weird game of tag rather than a fight. It feels like the AFO's regressing due to Rewind and Bakugou kind of returning to his child self - so it does have a schoolyard fight energy. I hope once Bakugou does his big boom, we can finally move on from AFO.

Deku activating his last gear shift for the third time is exactly like the PLF war, where he was constantly on his last 100% smash. These just don't do anything for me anymore as there is hardly any follow through. It's also a weird choice to have him activate it but not show what happens (considering how speedy it is) unless he activated it on Bakugou again? Not sure...

I think Deku will eventually go down due to abusing Gear Shift, but the question is how much of the fight with Shigaraki before will be shown. Once Deku is down from the blow-back, things will get desperate - Shigaraki is stronger than prime AFO, so it will take some effort to hold him back unless it's some self-destruct again - so I expect Aizawa and some reinforcements show up to hold back Shigaraki or counter Decay (sounds like a cool way to show off Ochako's awakening) while Deku is catching his breath

Shigaraki I guess is just chilling and not gonna do anything until it's his "scene". It's a bit lame that they have a 1000 quirks between them yet just make faces at each other. I feel like it would work better to see them in dynamic poses, etc.

The purpose of Bakugou being the 2nd's lookalike seems to be an excuse to make AFO even more moronic and have some flashbacks. I'm really curious how Yoichi died so I hope we get more on that.

I guess with Bakugou's parents shown, maybe the "ancestor"-theory is on the table too. Possibly Mitsuki will reveal she's from the Kudou clan? (This theory imho is not very impactful. It's about as important as the reveal that Rei and Geten are both Himuras. It's like a "cool - ok, then" kind of revelation).

Bakugou announcing himself as Kacchan looks like an obvious set-up for another joke about his hero name - where the whole world will know him as Kacchan rather than GEMGD, and Deku will also think it's his hero name.

That's it. It's a set-up chapter. It sets up some gigantic explosion from Bakugou. It sets up once again why AFO is not gonna do anything remotely intelligent. It sets up Deku going down. It sets up another hero name joke. Maybe it sets up more vestige history (I hope the punchline is at least something emotional in the end).

So does that mean Geten is Redestro's adopted kid now since it has been confirmed he raised him

not to knock any sandcastles over, but imo Re-Destro is as much as a father to Geten as Endeavor (pre-Kamino) is to his kids 😔🙏 i realize that it is tempting to think of a tiny Geten toddling after single father Re-Destro, but... then i would compare Re-Destro to All for One, in terms of picking up lost children off the streets and honing them into weapons for their cause.

(which actually makes a wonderful parallel to poke at in dfohiko twins verse! wow, can you imagine Rikiya being proud about having 'personally raised' Geten? but because he's unfortunately a product of his upbringing, he actually just followed in the steps of AFO, and became not a dad, but a father figure to try and impress?)

((he brags about having an adopted son to Toshinori when they have a reunion, and Toshinori restrains himself from pulling out his phone and showing off pictures of his new adopted son))

but let's look at the evidence for canon!

first and foremost, the line that 'confirms' that Re-Destro raised Geten.

"The few remaining [Himura branch] families and their members scattered, including myself. Which is when Re-Destro came upon me and brought me into the fold." (c387, Geten)

no age range indicated, unfortunately. if i threw a dart, though, between Dabi (age 23-24) and Rei (age... 44. not canon, but if it was younger, we'd probably be holding multiple knives to Endeavor's throat), i'd put Geten around mid-30s. just old enough to know he should flee and ditch the Himura name.

the phrase "into the fold" is, uh, not very familial. which leads me to my second quote.

"Elevating one's [Quirk] ability will be the only way to really live! Beyond that sheer strength... life has no value!" (c230, Geten)

this does not sound like a young man who had an easy upbringing! you say 'adopted,' i say 'recruited.' unlike with Sorahiko and Toshinori, i don't think Geten was staying in Re-Destro's spare bedroom, or even personally trained by him.

based off what Geten absorbed of the MLA's philosophies, i think Re-Destro chucked him into the MLA-equivalent of Bible camp and offhandedly directed Geten to become stronger in order to meet him again.

tl;dr I totally believe Geten wasn't brought to Re-Destro's attention until the MLA heard of the LoV, at which point they believed his ice (previously WAYYY too flashy to be of use for the MLA) could counteract Dabi's flames.

i cant believe hori actually confirmed the geten himura theory

Bnha manga chapters 382-387 review

Spoilers from the last manga chapter!

We are back to the girl's battle! Yay! I think the reason Toga doesn't have full access to Twice's quirk or Shigaraki and Dabi's at all it's because it relies in her ability to be them/copy them. With Dabi and Shigaraki, their quirks are meant to come with a physical resistance to them, which she doesn't have, so to prevent the damage from having the quirk but not the natural protection, she can't copy them.

Shinso's quirk it's perfect to control someone like Machia. It looks like having him be so mindlessly loyal backfired on AfO O.O And I love how Mina had her stellar moment and Kirishima being her hypeman, though he is everyone's hypeman XD

You know, Hawks it's one of those characters that I didn't like at first but I've grown fond of. The scene with Tokoyami, settled it.

The movies and OVAs are canon??? I love it! (*Adds it to my fics*) The media picked a bad moment to appear though, they are messing things up without intending to.

Ohh The Todorokis' are in trouble. That poor family needs a break. And I called that Iida and Shouto being in the same place was because of the thing with Ingenium. I wonder if they'll met Stain again.

I hope All Might doesn't die, but that battle it's very unbalanced. I'm guessing he'll have some help or someone will see it and get a boost from it.

I'm gonna say I already had the sensation that the Himura family was also messed up. I didn't believe the "Geten is related to Rei" theory but it makes so much sense now, that he confirmed my suspicions.

I don't like that Touya apparently has an ice quirk, though. I get it's the irony of Endeavor having what he wanted from the start, but Touya's thing is that he has the strongest fire but he's built for ice. Him having an ice quirk feels like one of those deaths for shock value, but we'll see how this goes. Looks like Rei is going to take responsability as well.

[azumasoroshi]

Ok so I found the original kanji for Geten’s name from the wiki and put it into my Japanese dictionary and

It’s uh… interesting I guess?

ok this is really funny because my first thought was “so if we consider the Todoroki family as the Bible-” and that is a wild thought to be having at 3:04 AM

but yeah in retrospect it seems to be a reference to how he had an unknown origin and people thought he was a Himura/Todoroki for a while but could never be confirmed, which is pretty cool actually

“menat to be read privately” like how geten’s being a himura/the downfall of the himura clan was meant to be a secret ig. leave it to mr compress to extract the tea out of him though we love a gossip girl

“outside code/ceremony/law/rule” fits with that as well like. he’s a fucked up guy and probably a far cry from the noble himura family image, i’ll have to reread his stated backstory to corroborate that though

[pocketramblr]

POCKET leaks are coming out and I think Geten just got confirmed as a Himura 😭😭😭

Geten is.... Still alive?

GETEN HIMURA CONFIRMED I LOVE YOU MY FUNKY LITTLE GUY

[kitsunewood]

My reaction to MHA, Chapter 393

SPOILER ALARM!!!!

Read at your own risk

I'm lost for words. I expected a lot, but certainly not with this realization. To be honest, at first I thought this page was related to Enji. After all, his son's fire is so hot that it can hurt him

But then this came:

Dabi/Touya is a dual-quirk user! 😮

I've already discovered a fanfic where this is also the case and Touya only discovered it while he was on the road (Side note: the story came out long before the "Dabi is Touya" theory was confirmed. P.S.: I will link said story in my next post).

At the time I just thought: Wow, that's a cool idea and at the same time bitter irony. But that's canon now? Oh ho ho ho ho. *rubs hands together*

Now I'm just wondering if maybe this factor manifested earlier but Dabi just never realized it or did it only happen during the fight with Shoto?

But back to the chapter.

The side brought tears to my eyes:

Enji shows not only that he is a good hero but also that he is willing to atone for this mistake by being there for his eldest at least at the moment of death, as he always did well.

But then there is a little twist at the end in the form of a surprise guest:

I didn't see that coming. But while I'm writing this, the text at the side of the page reminds me and at the beginning of the chapter, Geten was talking to Mr. Compress (cell neighbors) and said something about the Himura's. And now I'm wondering if Rei and Geten might be distant relatives

[swallowtail-ageha]

You do know Dabi and Geten are related, right? Geten was confirmed a Himura

Yeah but like. I dont care

[yellowbluemoonshine]

Have you seen the spoilers for chapter 387? How did you react?

Thanks for the ask, @trinityrus.

Bnha Chapter 387 Opinions;

Geten is Himura confirmed and having chat with Mr Compress in prison.

I already write my opinion about this theory before. I think Geten didnt need to be Himura. Because he is a character written to be parallel with Touya but i dont mind.

New information about Himura's could've been mentioned before this arc too. Himura family seems to be ambitous, just like Endeavour when it comes to quirk, just in different way. It is messed up but not surprising since y'know, they basically sold their daughter.

If this is the last arc and this is the last moment for Compress, i think it is dissappointing for his character. Every other league members had a more chance to shine. Hero corruption arc would be perfect arc for both Compress character and to adress flaws of hero society so i hope this isnt the end. Otheriwse, such a shame. Same with Geten too but he is a more background character so i dont mind it that much.

Dabi has a ice quirk.

This theory is already been made before so not surprising. Like, he could've been 'the one' for Endeavour. Though, even if he didnt have ice quirk, Touya would still shine, just like Izuku did. Basically, i am not surprised about this information but it would be better with 'more show, less talk'. Explanation part could've been done before this arc. This is why we should've get a arc about exploring the nature of quirks and how it effects the users since we have characters like Toga.

Dabi is mentally regressing and dying, again.

I dont think Dabi will die but still watching him like this is painfull. I am kinda used to this though since this is always the case with Izuku, Shigaraki and Dabi etc but yeah, it is painfull.

This is so sad but again, not surprising. He is dying and it is only chance to revenge on the person who ruined him.

I love the parallels between Toga, Shigaraki and Dabi. Such as how Toga viewed Ochaco and Izuku's rejection as similar to her own parents's rejection of her as child. Shigaraki's turning into child, Tenko and keep repeating how he was always ignored, how he could've been helped etc. And now with Dabi, he is turning into child, Touya and repeating the words he said as child in a child leanguage, just like Shigaraki did. I love the inner child parallels but at the same time, none of those characters are children right now so reaching out to their inner child wouldnt solve the problems with the teenager/adult side of them. I dont want them to just reaching to children side of them, i want them to reach out to adult side of them too.

Endeavour is reacting to Dabi.

Ok, first of all, i love the fire punch scene.

And i hate this and i am not surprised. Like, he does 'seems to looking' at his son but this is just not right. When he looks at him, all he thinks about quirks, his failures and his responsiblities. Once again, it is all about him. There is no space to how Touya and other members of family felt and how painfull it was for them and this No 1 hero's solution to all of these is killing himself and Touya...This isnt out of character though but i dont think that its character development either.

Once again, he choose to be 'hero' and decide to sacrifice his son to protect complete strangers. While his desire to protect others is understandable, i dont think he had to give up on Touya like this. Telling him that he doesnt want him to die is not enough, he should show it with his actions too, not just words. He could've run to a place with ices or he could've get helped from people who have ice quirk to cool his son down so he can 'put out' fire but no, he is burning himself with his son. I know his quirk is bad match and all but this guy is pro hero. We've seen that true heroes make miracles or at least try to make ones so that they can save the ones who need their help.

Basically Endeavour could've try to help Touya other than telling him to stop because his son repeatedly told him that he cant put out the fire, the fire wont go away. It is the fire Endeavour lifted so he should've find better solutions and i think if he truly truly wanted to help Touya, if he truly see him, he would find a way. Thats what true heroes do. Thats what caring father would do. How ironic that by failing to his son, he is not just failing as father, he is also failing as hero because he chose to not help the person in front of him.

This is my problem with Endeavour's arc. He gets so many screen scenes but his character is in core, it is the same. And this chapter is full of him, his feelings and how much he feels sorry for what he did but i dont think he earned that because if you truly feel sorry, your focus should be on people whom you hurt, not yourself.

Rei is coming to save the day.

I was kinda hoping for something like this to happen. I hate how Endeavour is the one who gets the main focus in Todoroki family. Especially with his relationship with Touya. Rei is his mother and we hardly get any scenes about their relationship. And i find it hard to believe that Rei's being send to hospital didnt affect Touya at all. Their relationship deserves more focus so i hope this scene is less about 'saving Endeavour and others' and more about 'saving Touya' for Rei.

If Rei is around, most likely, Fuyumi and Natsuo too. So kinda hoping family hug for Touya.

Unlike Endeavour, i think Rei being here might change things for Dabi. Because Dabi's problem with Endeavour was how he always run away from him, how he never look at him properly etc and he did the same thing in this chapter. While his problem with Rei and others is basically them watching and doing nothing, also being side with Endeavour. But Rei and others are here. They are not standing and watching Touya's pain. They are trying to help him. While this can be still seen as 'they are siding with father' so i really hope they at least tell him how much they love him, how they dont want to loose him again. I am sure this will help him a little more for him to come his sense and cool down. It wont happen that simple, he might get angry at them for getting his way too but at least, even for later, it will help for Touya/Dabi to be saved. I hate this 'this is whole family's responsibility thing' because it is not. This all happenned because of Endeavour but both family and Touya/Dabi need this to happen. I hope story focus on this more, not Endeavour.

I dont like the idea of Rei getting 'scar', as if this is her karma for hurting Shouto and her other children but i hate the idea a lot. Because Rei already suffered more than enough. She doesnt need more karma. She lost her whole life, her children and she lived with guilty for her entire life and unlike Endeavour, she was always ready to take responsibility. Not to mention Rei putting boiling water on Shouto...I hate how it is always used as an example of Rei being 'abusive'. She literally 'snapped' at that scene. She was most likely wasnt aware of what she was doing. If she wasnt aware, then how can she seen as responsible for this. Shouto was right about to see who is responsible for his scar. It is Endeavour. Not Rei. So i hope she doesnt get scar, if that scar supposed to mean 'she is sinner'. Because she is not. Of course, she made wrong decisions too but it is understandable since she wasnt in mentally right place as victim.

Next chapter might be POV change again, or if its not i am really hoping more interaction betwen Touya/Dabi and Rei, Fuyumi, Natsuo so there might be things i forgot to say but for now, thats it.
