Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals Episode 7 Discussion 1nd2f

Well, her quirk is nearly useless. Or his can cancel hers. ROFLOL She was right though.

@Sheol01 Well, maybe she should have used the right name. Hes THE CRAWLER not The Cruller after all.

New character is here.

Lmao Pop is insanely jealous of Makoto. And what's this? Is Koichi actually into older women? That's bad news for Pop.

A lot of new lore was revealed in this episode. Interesting stuff.

After everything they had done, I thought the reputation of the vigilantes would've been much more positive by now. Being a vigilante seems like a thankless job... The data didn't seem all that useful for the research. But at least Koichi now knows what people think of him.

I think polygraph tests can be wrong. But I wonder why it failed on Koichi. Does her quirk work like regular polygraph tests or can it find out the truth every time? Did it fail because polygraph tests usually aren't accurate in general or is it cause she didn't ask the right question? Anyway, new character in the next episode. This episode was fun. I hope the next one will be too.

Now we have a "Ronaldinho Gaúcho" quirk, that was in some ways awesome imo

It was a good episode I'll be honest, but easily the weakest of the lot so far. The new character chick is super annoying imo and her quirk just adds to the whole scummy researcher type (her quirk is a lot like Giran's). Some comedic moments, but overall not as good as the others, the "soccer" thief was a funny "villain" (petty thief), hopefully next week will be more eventful. The lore/worldbuilding we got this episode was lit af though.

@0451 yes it failed because polygraph aren't accurate. They're not lie detectors they monitor your heartbeat nothing more

That's what I meant when I said she asked the wrong question. But you can fake polygraph tests or "lie detectors" by lying with enough confidence which Koichi did. Technically it’s not a lie but you know what I mean. The guy knew who she was talking about but still didn’t even get nervous at being found out so suddenly.

I was wondering how her quirk worked. If she called him The Crawler instead and Koichi denied it would it trigger her quirk or not? When she was talking with her brother later it implied her quirk wasn’t infallible.

Koichi finally found a friend at school!! She's a beautiful older woman too! We get the introduction of Tsukauchi's little sister, Makoto! Koichi having fallen behind on his studying makes sense given he's been doing vigilante work more and more. Less time to work on school when that's happening. Makoto came right over to him in the cafeteria, just waltzed up and introduced herself to him. Since she probably already had suspicions he's The Crawler. His home being in the area where they're often seen does line up. She just takes him by the hand and with that pretty face talks her way into his apartment. Pop being stuck in there having to listen to Makoto sweet talk Koichi was hilarious! I laughed so much at her facial expressions. Later on too when she's so clearly jealous about Makoto getting closer to Koichi. Pop can't contain her gremlin energy when another woman is around her man.

Makoto doing some surveys around town about these vigilantes. The point she brought up while tagging Koichi textbook was a great one. Vigilantes started the hero system but now have become directly opposed to it. Funny how time shifts things like that huh. Her questions about the vigilantes to everyone in the neighborhood were funny. Each person having the wildest reactions to each of the three vigilantes. Knuckleduster = mean. Crawler = creepy. Pop = butt.

Koichi really let his guard down around Makoto. He's lucky that polygraphs aren't really lie detectors. (Quick rant) Polygraphs are glorified heart rate monitors. They measure someone's heartbeat when they answer questions. That's literally it. “Detecting lies” isn't what that machine, and thus Makoto quirk, do. That's why they're not issible in court anymore. It's also why plenty of police cases have been thrown sideways by polygraph results. Because all it takes is someone cool under pressure to fool them. Or someone extremely nervous to look guilty. (Rant over).

Koichi is lucky he's cool under pressure and didn't panic. Otherwise the jig would be up.

Football Individuality???? lol The guy could be rich just playing soccer; turns out he’s a pickpocket lol

Ah, more worldbuilding and lore about heroes and villains origin the main series only touches briefly.

The drawing for the American vigilantes is so good it looks like it's from a legit western comic. A big name indie one.

new character Makoto and she looks like a good one too, ik some craziness goin happen soon

Makoto seems like a fun, cool person to be around with. This episode also gave Koichi a chance to learn what being a bodyguard is like. This show also seems to be at a stage where Koichi is more confident in himself.

But seriously, I want to see more of Makoto in this show. She seems like a breath of fresh air.

That's what I meant when I said she asked the wrong question. But you can fake polygraph tests or "lie detectors" by lying with enough confidence which Koichi did. Technically it’s not a lie but you know what I mean. The guy knew who she was talking about but still didn’t even get nervous at being found out so suddenly.

@TheNoo Firstly, we've never seen Giran use his quirk nor his there been any narration for it, so there is no telling what he can do.

Secondly, I think that Makoto is a ray of sunshine in comparison to someone who's more of the Tsundere stereotype (cough cough, Pop Step, cough cough), who is similar to Naomasa in her persistence (but to a greater extent) and is one of the more articulate characters in the series (and that includes the main series).

@KingBaller06 Good for you? I said it's my opinion, I just don't quite like her so far.

As for your comment on Giran we do know how he quirk works since we've had it explained in the character analysis book. It's called "muddied" and it grants the the ability to cause minor amnesia to a person if they make with their head, making their memories of the previous five minutes and the next five minutes vague. It just felt similar in that they both could be used in underhanded ways to get information (you know, the way she literally tries to use it this episode).

@TheNoo Yeah I'm not reading the rest of that because that has nothing to do with the ANIME.

Unless it's said or happens in the anime, it doesn't apply to the anime.

@KingBaller06 ??? Excuse me? That's just incorrect, but say what you want. I was merely comparing the two since they're similar, and no the anime is not some separate continuity. It's the same canon as the manga and so anything the author says is canon is canon, headcanon what you like mate, but whatever. Plus I was literally just responding to ***YOU*** who said we didn't know what Giran's quirk was so I just thought I'd explain it, sorry for saying something ***IRRELEVANT*** to you.

@TheNoo Actually it is. Anime and manga are separate entities. So if something doesn't happen in the anime, it doesn't apply to the anime. That goes for MHA, and every other anime that exists.

So Giran's quirk is an unknown and the canon of the anime is decided purely by the studio(s) involved, that being Toho Animation and BONES.

@KingBaller06 You know what? I don't really give a fuck. If you have that weird take on watching anime... fine. Good for you. MHA is *not* an original creation of Toho/Bones so therefore they don't get to decide what's canon, and therefore they can't decide if something *isn't* canon either, don't care to discuss it further. Unless the creator themselves says that something isn't canon to both then it is.

Moreover, (more importantly might I add) it wouldn't matter if the quirk was canon, fanmade or whatever, because all I did was say they're similar. Have a good one, I won't be replying again.

makoto is sexy hot and her quirk is polygraph or lie detector test eh welp those lie detector tests are unreliable though

popstep is jealous of makoto too

@deg The reason it didn't work is because Koichi's hero name isn't "The Crueller", so he was able to truthfully say no. If she used his actual hero name, she would have known he was lying.
