speaking of translations, here's something fun I discovered:
From Chapter 281, Shigaraki's speech to the Heroes about why he destroys:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The English translation is:
You've got the common trash, all too dependent on being protected. And the brave guardians who created the trash that need coddling. It's a corrupt, vicious cycle.
The original Japanese is:
守られる事に慣れきったゴミ共 そのゴミ共を生み出し庇護する マッチポンプ共
Caleb’s translation is correct; the gist of it is accurate. but after translating it myself, I find that there’s an interesting nuance:
Trash who are used to being protected; (Heroes) Producing and giving sanctuary/shelter to that trash; A match-pump set
What is a match-pump set? It doesn't seem like a common phrase in English. What the Japanese-English dictionary defines it as is:
"stirring up trouble to get credit from the solution (from English "match pump, i.e. lighting a match then putting it out with a water pump")
Tumblr media
There’s no short and simple phrase in English for the idea, not one that's commonly known, I don’t think; and Caleb did describe it as ‘corrupt’.
But the blame is a lot more scathing with ‘match-pump’: it implies an intentionality on the part of the Heroes, that they created (or at least allowed) this situation with the goal of benefiting from it.
In case you wonder if the scanlations did any better than Caleb, they did not. At all:
Tumblr media
The trash coddled by being protected all the time The roleplayers who only serve to spoil... A meek society
What can I say. Translation is hard.

Seeing that Smallsnake was about to hang up, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and calming myself down, I finally spoke up.
This time, words finally escaped from my lips. "Hey, Smallsnake....it's me."
HSJSUSUDUDUS YESSSS T^T
Goshhhh, my heartttttt!

That was an interesting few chapters. Lmao right after I did a post about ORV from Kyrgios’ POV we get a major event from the POV of Dokja’s party. Honestly it felt so weird. I felt like it was a dream sequence or some kind of premonition or something like that because something terrible was coming and then something terrible was happening but no one was really doing anything or even had the ability to do anything. It was so strange to have this big event and the characters are just kind of…there. I guess I never realized how empty ORV feels without Dokja at the center. Or how the party just kind of feels like it’s on standby without direction from either Dokja or Joonghyuk. I love that they’re watching Dokja go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. They know he’s preparing for something, as always, and are curious about what tf he’s doing but know by now that there’s no point in bothering him, Dokja-ssi is doing his typical Dokja stuff and will tell them what to do when it’s important. They know he’s concerned about something, they are concerned about him, they know there has to be a reason that he’s giving them all these gifts and training them but it’s no big deal, they’ll be ready to help when needed. And then it happens and Dokja just sends them all away to save them. 😭 And all the gifts and training were for future scenarios not this one. 😭 And then Joonghyuk wakes up after choosing to stay in this life with Dokja and Dokja is gone. 😭

Thelreads, MHA 281, Replies Part 2
1) “WAIT A FUCKING SECOND
ARE YOU FKUING KIDDING ME
ARE YOU FOR REAL
IT IS HIM?
HE IS SHIGARAKI’S GRAND DAD?!
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD NO”- Well, by and large, I don’t think he was actually his granddad, but he certainly occupied an emotional spot similar to him in Nana’s life, being the one she turned to for emotional support when she just couldn’t bear the weight of her decision to separate from her son anymore. Given how he’s mentored both All Might and Izuku, I certainly see him as a pseudo grandfather-figure, so the emotional impact is very much there regardless of familial blood ties. 2) “WELP, BYE BYE GRAN TORINO, GLAD WE FOUND OUT OF YOUR CONNECTION BEFORE YOU DIED, NOW GO AND MEET YOUR FOOT UP IN VALHALLA”- It should be pointed out, Tomura’s hand has no cutting power to it. He rammed a hole straight through Torino’s guts through sheer brute crushing force, and almost certainly wreaked his spine in the process.
3) “OH MY FUCKING GOD HE IS SHIGARAKI’S GRANDAD
OH GOD NOW I FEEL LIKE HIS HATRED OF SHIGARAKI MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE THAN BEFORE, AS WELL AS HIS PEP TALK TO ALL MIGHT ABOUT HOW HE NEEDED TO BE TAKEN DOWN. HE WAS CONVINCING HIMSELF OF WHAT HAD TO BE DONE
OH FUCK SAKE
HE WAS HURTING HIS FAMILY TO HELP COMPLETE STRANGERS
FUYCK YOU HORIKOSHI”-  Not gonna lie, that would certainly make it a triple-ironic parallel for this chapter, but sadly no, it really does seem that gran Torino is just Nana’s close friend.
4) “You know, I just realized another thing to add to that phrase
Shigaraki, although a villain, is also seen by the people that follow him as their hero, someone to save them of this oppression of society, even though they don’t actually know him 
He’s a hero hurting his family to protect complete strangers
god fucking dammit.”-  Tomura’s ‘hero’ status amongst the villains is why he’s practically impossible to put down- he’s got the standard heroic tenacity buoying him up even time they smack him down to his lowest point, though he’s a great deal more feral and unhinged about it.
5) “Oh hey Aizawa, you’re still here? Silly question, of course you fucking are, as usual, we wouldn’t be able to kill you to death otherwise”-  You joke, but Tomura needs to get through him to get his powers back, and there’s a lot of chapters still to go in this story, so it sure doesn’t seem like he’s losing this fight….
(MHA ch 257) 6) “He`s trying to get away from the curse of doomed character Aizawa, what about you? You have a daughter now, you better make sure you stay safe as well, because if you die I`ll travel aaaaall the way to hell to kill you again, you got that?”- He’s doing his best to survive, but Tomura’s equally as determined to remove the obstacle that holding him back from freely unleashing his new might, the one chain restricting him from destroying everything as he pleases…
7) “OH OUCH JESUS CHRIST STOP THAT RIGHT THIS INSTANT”- Tomura has become the Pain Train, barrelling straight through all obstacles and tearing them apart with his never-ending charge.
8) “Well you certainly ain’t showing it Shigaraki, but I suppose that even at your current state you have a limit. You didn’t got complete after all, your potential is far below the limit”- The closer he gets to his limit, the harder he fights, because he refuses to lose. In a sense, when he starts going berserk and throwing everything he’s got at you, that’s when you know he’s on the ropes…and therefore, you are too.
9) “Eeeyy Midoriya, glad you finally got here, it was such a long journey all the way from five meter behind here, glad you managed to arrive right on time.”-  Tomura’s just that fast. Even with Ryukyu slowing him down and being dragged along, he was charging full force at Aizawa and nearly reached him regardless, and even Bakugou, whose Quirk makes him lighting-fast, can’t keep up with his sheer speed – it’s only Izuku, whose full potential puts him close to Tomura’s present level, that can react even slightly quicker to reach him, and even then he just really can’t match him on any category right now. 10) “oh wow fuck me that one was fucked up, even got some chills”-
Izuku: I’ll kill you for what you’ve done!! Tomura: I know. And in exchange, I’m gonna kill everybody for what they didn’t do. 11) “OOF THAT ONE HURT ME
MIDORIYA’S STOMACH ALMOST MADE A TRIP UPSTAIRS”- That’s a backhand from a awkward angle, in a position that he can’t leverage much strength, and Tomura’s hit still makes Izuku cough blood. A full swing would probably turn him into red mist. 12) “OH JESUS FUCK HE BROKE THROUGH THE HAND OH GOD OH FUCK NO THAT IS HORRIBLE”-  It’s not just that he gets more tenacious, but that Tomura maintains a tranquil state of mind even as his fighting becomes more unhinged. You can see him reaching for the bullet before he charges at Aizawa, and he forced his hand through Ryukyu’s in order to have a clear shot at him with it, not just vainly trying to tear his way through the obstacle with his flagging strength. On top of that, he’s also reaching for a second bullet with his free hand, in case his first one doesn’t work. He’s had a plan in mind the whole time he was running at Aizawa, and the heroes are barely able to react to his moves to slow him down, let alone stop him.
13) “OH GOD OH FUCK HE HAS THE FUCKING ERASING BULLET IN HANDS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT FUCKING THING”- And despite being intimately involved with the Hassaki raid, Izuku not knowing that Tomura got the bullets at the end of it all means he’s focusing on physically stopping his charge, not the items he’s aiming at Aizawa. 14) “holy shit it’s not every chapter that you go in and say “I think I’m going to be fucking emotionally obliterated tonight” but those are rolling out with an increasing frequency this arc
I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing to be honest But I’m absolutely and 100% down to find out”-  Oh yeah, Horikoshi’s chapters are on a roll this arc. I arguably feel like they don’t really drop off in quality or intensity even through the remaining ones up to the present. @thelreads

With sparse trees in the distance and mountains in the background of the scenery, it finally dawned on me that I was no longer in the Monolith.
"Khuk."
Biting my lips, my body trembled slightly. The side of my cheeks became warm, as small droplets began falling towards my hands.
"I-m free..."
He's free :') he's finally, finally free...
Poor kid, my poor darling T^T he suffered so much...
