I will never, ever, get people's fascination with timeskips...

If you mean the ones we get ALL the time, sometimes months or more, then sure maybe.

If you mean year+ then...no, it wouldnt make any sense at all.

I'm not fascinated with time skips.

It just makes no sense for Deku and co to be back to normal immediately the fight is over or after a couple days, weeks or months.

Extensive damage has been done that requires years on both sides.

We literally don't know the situation with Deku's arms/body. Bakugo's life is hanging by a thread. Shigaraki himself is critically injured.

So yes, a time skip of years is the most sensible move.

& I don't think a teenage boy is gonna defeat the big bad. They need to grow. Theres more content that way. Eri growing and possibly mastering her powers. Deku and the gang as well. Especially Deku who has several quirks to parse.

& All Might still needs to die in the coolest way possible. Our Ex #1 Hero deserves that.

Skipping important parts of a story is weak writing.

Show us how they recover, how they fix cities, how the people move on. Heck show us how they even GET a year or so to do that with villains (not even league ones) obviously going to take advantage of this chaotic time.

Skipping a year or so and then magically say "hey look they are okay now lets continue!" is so cheap and weak from a writing perspective.

>& All Might still needs to die in the coolest way possible. Our Ex #1 Hero deserves that.

...? He...deserves to die? Pretty sure he deserves to live a long and happy life helping Deku and the others grow as he promised. Whether that happens or not he def doesnt...deserve to die.

I doubt it. Deku and the rest are just days away from entering their 2nd year at U.A. A long time skip such as One Piece or Naruto had would mean the end of the "Academia" part of the story and without the school 95% of the cast would be gone. Or do you believe that Ochaco, Shoto, Ida, Momo, Tokoyami, Eraserhead, Present Mic, Eri etc. will in any way interact with Deku once he leaves U.A. and works as a hero? Skipping over the immediate aftermath of this arc would also be in bad taste.

At most we will get a time skip of a few weeks or a few months, but nothing bigger.

Skipping a year or 2 won't hurt anyone.

They would still be in school however, Deku & Bakugo would spend most of that time in the hospital and be behind on their work that's all.

right after the current arc? definitely not.

everything that's happening right now needs a reaction from the participants of the war (students, pro heroes), their families and society and you shouldn't skip that. there are also some plot threads that should be resolved right away.

later? possibly if the narrative makes it have sense.

personally i'd love a big time skip at some point to see the characters aged up but only when/if we're at a point of the story where it's warranted and, to be honest, it feels less and less likely (why would the villains do nothing for a longer period of time that'd allow a skip?).

It needs a reaction, however not from the front liners, not now @ least. Aizawa lost a leg, students and heroes alike are badly wounded. They need time to readjust. & a time skip is perfect means for that

Cos their leader is badly wounded.

if you come home after getting beaten up you react to it immediately and not a year later, is what i mean.

most likely hundreds, if not thousands, of people have died, half of the top 10 is either dead or out of commission, at least 2 students have been heavily wounded. this asks for an immediate reaction, society won't be holding breath for 2 years and only then start asking questions.

and if you think the students who have witnessed and took part in all that are going to just merrily go back to school to solve math problems while they adjust to a new normal (we wouldn't even know the form of), you're wrong.

I would say no, it would be absurd that the series does not show us the immediate repercussions of the events of the current arc, also the status quo of the MHA world will not change immediately there are many things that have to happen and it would be a waste of storytelling simply skip them with a time-skip.

On the other hand, a time-skip within some arcs would be feasible taking into account the possibilities of large future events, but it is difficult to determine when it would be more appropriate without seeing how the conclusion of the current arc turns out.

Padding the story with even longer time skips wouldn't make much of a difference. On the other hand, if we got more story arcs set before the PLF War and between that and the Final War, that would give a lot of room for much more world-building and character development.

Things like fully fleshing out the heteromorph discrimination plotline (e.g. the Creature Rejection Clan stirring up trouble), government corruption (e.g. maybe the HPSC tries to get Deku under their thumb before the PLW Arc?), and properly exploring the different Quirks of OFA & their Vestiges' backstories.

Looking back at it then looking at the fact that it's took hori 10 years to make MHA and there is still ALOT of missing content it's makes you wonder what did he even do in all those 10 years while I won't lie tye guy is cooking when it's comes to drawing.

It wouldn't have made sense overall especially for the LOV. Considering the state of Japan and the world, it would be terrible for them to not take the chance to attack when Japan was at its weakest. If they waited, they were only allowing the heroes to fully regroup and get stronger and for society to slowly rebuild itself back. If it did happen, the tragic impact caused by the Paranormal Liberation War wouldn't have been that huge.

Should MHA been broken up over three school years in world wise rather than a year and some change?

Posted by CawmeKrazee · in r/BokunoheroFanfiction · 7 months ago

For sake of clarity I've been discussing with others on what would/could have been a better paced timeline of the story of MHA because as it stands it the story happens so rapid fire and there are hardly any slow moments to spend time with the characters. Like every instance we think we're getting that we get big ass shit thrown in. Stuff like "Oh lets go to the mall oh shit Izuku is being held hostage basically." "Oh we're gonna go to camp! Nope fuck off villain attack"

For point of reference here are the timelines I'll be referencing that are un-official but still viable references.
This one covers from Vigilante to the main shows ending.

So if we made the timeline take over the three school years what would a timeline like that have looked like instead?

Referencing only the arcs found Here.

I personally think...

Year 1
UA Exams, Battle Trials, Showing off more of the classes and schooling, then USJ a month in. Followed by the sports festival half way through the school year. Then the internship. Then finally the final exams of the school year before the Camp Attack. and lastly the hideout raid to end off Year 1 at UA.

Year 2
Dorms move in, Endeavor vs High End Nomu, The Provisional licenses exam being right before second year sports festival that for the first time that year includes students from other schools. Then afterwards have the Overhaul arc. leading up to some of the Team-Up Missions from the spin off manga. School Festival Endeavor Agency arc. MLA arc. PLW Arc.

Year 3
Dark hero arc, no sports festival due to the state of the country. Star and Stripe, UA traitor, and the Final war arc.

Then if really need be you can fit in the movies in certain places and even find good spots for the spin off games. This is just my thoughts and I'd love to hear what you guys think

I agree with the general lay out of the timeline, but I think a lot of MHA's pacing issues isn't so much that it's a year, more than it just feels stupidly fast because of how fast things move from action set piece to action set piece, and without a lot more downtime, even splitting it over three years won't change that, and may even make it worse because you'd have eve more big, vague timeskips. For example, assuming the Sport Festival is set around the time most schools have their sports festivals (late May, early June), that's a month or two after the Battle Trials and USJ, which is actually plenty of time but happens in the span of five minutes in the show, and then another month or two for Finals (late June/early July) and Camp (July/August). There's nothing actually wrong with this timeline as it is, but none of this feels like a good amount of time because there's no slice of life, and no obvious calanders or big training montages to keep track of time. MHA, as written, just has no interest in downtime or training. If it did, I don't think the pacing would feel quite so bad, and we'd have better build up to the big character development moments. So, yeah, while I agree three years would be better, I also think three years with Horikoshi's writing style would be even worse because the lack of down time would be even more obvious.

Honestly, well written training and downtime could keep the timeline to a year and a bit, but it's easier to shift to three years and hope you can fill in enough plot and training not to keep going "and then months passed" without people getting bored.

Other_Explanation617 · 7 months ago

I think the problem stems from the lack of downtime. Sure, you can spread out all of the events, but the month breaks in-between arcs would make the story feel empty, so you’d have to find a way to fill in the gaps.

If anything, You’d have to add more smaller arcs in between: either slice of life shenanigans, or focus on other students. You can maybe spice it up with some classic school/teenage drama to help fill in time while making sure the audience doesn’t miss out on much of what the cast is doing.

Overall, MHA would have to be restructured entirely from the ground up to make use of the school year method(like Harry Potter). Sadly, Horikoshi doesn’t write like that, and unfortunately he burned out to make the story that long.

I think the lack of transitional arcs did the disservice over the short time frame. Through the cultural festival seemed fine, but then it got too focused on hitting the next story beat or focus on too small of the cast while exploring non main characters

Yeah, that would’ve made more sense. It’s anyone’s guess why they decided to cram it all into a single year. Personally, I think the writer was just very ambitious at first and thought they were going to want to keep this series going for much longer, which is why so much stuff in the ending is so rushed. It’s also possible that the “1-A” branding for the class became so popular that they decided to keep it, and moving them onto the next year would have ruined that.

As someone that grew up with the 90s anime dubs, MHA's pace and timeline doesn't feel overly filled with the brim with actions because many shows that I thought were taking 2-3 years reveal it's only been 1 year since the beginning of the series. I'm looking at you Sailor Moon, DBZ, YYH, Pokemon, and etc.

The parts of MHA that had me going "hmm" was Izuku's vigilante and war arc that made me go "OKAY TOO FAST, TOO FAST STOP" but everything until that point didn't feel too rush or crammed. I just wish we could have seen more than stuff happening off screen for certain characters.

How long do you think it's been since the manga started?

Posted by Flat-Helicopter-3431 · in r/Dandadan · 8 months ago

Okay, I'm coming from a night of reading in which I caught up on the manga and I couldn't help but wonder about the time that has passed throughout the story.

Following the approximations of what happened from the beginning to the end of the cursed house arc, I think it is okay to say that it was two or three weeks if we assume that not many days passed between the differents fights. Subsequently the entire plot of >!evil eye must be the most difficult to calculate. It could be days or weeks in which the group takes care of Jiji. But to put a middle ground I guess it would have been a week until the main fight with Okarun takes place!<

Following the appearances of Evil eye, we assume that another week passes between >!that fight and the end of the Invasion (although it should also be noted that this is only if it is confirmed that Okarun has not fought him more times in that time)!< The next two arcs should not take more than 3 or 4 days either. >!Since beyond Zuma's search, and considering that the time he and Momo spent inside the board is different from that of the real world, both arcs were resolved in two nights!<

And so we arrive at the current arc to which I still do not want to add but following the previous panoramas it shouldn't change much. So in summary I think it's been a month and a half or two months at most since Momo and Okarun met. Still, I'm not sure if my deductions were correct since I made them after a sleepless night. What do you think? Do you think this time is correct or does it seem too short for so many things to have happened?

Ordinarily, that's true. But for Dandadan, supernatural junk seems to happen to our idiots on a daily basis. The Turbo Granny debacle was clearly a three-day-and-night affair. The next day Aira bumps into Okarun and finds his golden ball later that night.

The next day, she can see spirits and tries to exorcise Momo, which leads to the Acro-Silky incident, which leads to Aira getting her powers, which awaken, again, the next day when the Serpoians and their gig workers invade the school.

As far as we can tell, the entire first season of Dandadan unfolds over the course of about a week. Tatsu's writing seems tight enough that readers can play this little game with each other if they want to.

Solving MHA pacing issues by adding more arc in between

Posted by Ghostwolfking · in r/BokunoheroFanfiction · 4 months ago

People keep saying that it would be better if the story happened over three years, but that isn’t strictly a pacing issue. Pacing doesn’t have anything to actually do with how much time passes, only how that time is used.

MHA's pacing problem isn't with the time frame, it's with a couple of gaps in the story that needed more fleshing out. The time frame thing only comes into play if you look back at the whole thing and consider it as a whole. Extending things out to 3 years means 3 Sports festivals, 3 training camps, and 3 cultural festivals need to be addressed and end up eating page time. Plus it makes it harder to fit in the big 3.

Plus, people keep forgetting that the kids being First-Years, barely going into their Second Year by the time of the war arc, is a plot point. They aren’t ready for all of this, but they have to step up because of the mistakes of the previous generation.

To solve pacing issues, I would just have the story show more downtime. Allow characters to actually breathe and interact. Let the setting world-build. Have calm moments that we can appreciate when things go to shit. It isn’t like we don’t have the time; there were two weeks between the USJ and the Sports Festival that were skipped over by a single page training montage. There was a month and a half between the Internships and the Final Exam. There were many small time skips during most of Act 2, with the biggest being the two month time skip between the Endeavor Agency arc and the PLW arc.

So i would add a small slice of life arc in between USJ and Sports Festival

Training arc between the Sports Festival and Internships (Stain arc) which can be use to show us the internal struggle Ida is doing through

Other arc or two between Internships and the final exam. These arcs can be slice of life, training . Pro hero related forces.

One of the main criticisms people have about the series is how quickly the academia part of the title is dropped.

I was about to talk about that, where despite the series being seven seasons and over a year we rarely see anyone just hanging out, it's always at a breakneck pace to the next fight or the next arc. Part of what makes it start being hollow is we ultimately know most of these characters by a name and a power, and even more characters are being dumped on top while all but maybe ten get a brief backstory before getting shoved into the background.

It doesn't have to cannibalize episodes or whole arcs, do two minutes on characters like Ochako and Momo chatting about their lives while drinking tea, Shoji and Tsuyu talking about manga they like over lunch, small things that help make the characters not feel like a wiki entry that came to life.

Imo mha can be better deliver in the academia part when it comes to minor history plot class discussion. That peerless thief lore can be use for gray morality topic discussion....unless turns out hpsc control what ministry of education book should cover in heroic history lesson ( amusing ministry education is exist in mha imo.

Honestly, i would give each member of the League of Villains their own arc in wich they are the main antagonist.

BEFORE they actualy join the League.

Now hear me out.

Such an arc could be used to estabilish their powers, personalities, motivations and a possible rivarly with a member of Class 1 A.

So when they are reintroduced later, the League of Villains lookss WAY cooler because its made up of already estabilished characters, and seeing all the Villains from previous arcs team up togheter would be extremely badass.

You can even mix this arcs with some slice of life.

Like, Class 1 A is having a sleepover at Yaomomo mansion, but Mr. Compress arrives to rob the place and they have to fight him off/stop him from stealing stuff.

Personaly, i would keep Mr. Compress as an indipendent villain instead of having him join the League. Since it dosen't really make sense in my opinion for a thief to join a gang of domestic terrorists.

Have Mr. Compress be a more moraly grey gentleman thief/rouge type of character. Maybe give him a No Kill Rule to make him stand out from other villains as a more "honorable" antagonist.

I will also say that I think another problem that gets lumped into the series would be better of the 3 year time period is because it's called My Hero Academia, and it didn't really deliver on the academia front once things got going. It just became another typical shounen where the characters happened to be in high school. MHA has a big universe but an extremely small setting because barely anything in the actual setting is expanded on.

We barely see any other teachers, we barely learn about any other schools, the most school based interactions we get are either the students stressing about exams or doing simulated fights. Hell, most of class 1A is barely given the time of day and poor 1B just get ignored most of the time. The internships and work studies too count but with how those quickly escalate into life and death scenarios we loop back to the characters need proper time to breathe and interact.

>The time frame thing only comes into play if you look back at the whole thing and consider it as a whole. Extending things out to 3 years means 3 Sports festivals, 3 training camps, and 3 cultural festivals need to be addressed and end up eating page time.

Page time can be as simple as two-three lines going "so-and-so happened and all around relatively normal thing" and occasionally also have characters reference what happened to expand on events by giving them silly little inside jokes or making them say "hey remember when..." No one has to spend a long arc on those moments if they don't really want to.

>Plus it makes it harder to fit in the big 3.

This is just me, but I think having the big 3 as recently graduated alumni of UA to talk about their work experience would have been fun and would have been a cool different perspective of heroics that we literally don't get in the series itself.

The position of World Heroes Mission is a bit weird but really close!

If you're enjoying the series I would also recommend the currently airing my hero Academia Vigilantes anime which has great source material and has been lovingly rendered so far in the anime. It takes place 5 years before the main Series so you can really start watching it whenever you feel like.

from what i can gather, the doctor in the episode did say smth about 4th generation. also based on the setting of the series, it seems to have some futurisitc elements as well with having automatic robots and building that take a short time to take(aka the student dorms taking 3 days to build).

my guess would be that it would 150-200 years in the future, and since quirks have started to show up in what appears to be like somewhere maybe around the 2000's, i think maybe around years 2150-2200 is where it takes place.

Nope. We don't know how long its been since quirks started(its been 137 years at a minimum though) and we have no clue what year it is/was.

A lot of fans headcanon that the dawn of quirks was 2014 since thats the year MHA came out, but headcanon is all it is.

Summarize

the short timeline of the series is the point

Posted by brando-boy · in r/BokuNoHeroAcademia · 7 months ago

we’ve all heard it at one point or another, whether from others or from saying it ourselves, the whole “i feel like the story would’ve been better if it were all 3 years instead of 1”, “how could society fall apart THAT quickly”, saw someone just earlier today saying “how does all that happen in one year they couldn’t catch a break”, etc etc., and i’m afraid to tell you all that that was the point

like it’s always shocked me how this is basically the prevailing opinion among the community when, to me, this has always clearly seemed like a very intentional choice. all might was the dam that held all of those villains back and what kept society functioning as it was. his retirement was a proverbial opening of the floodgates that allowed all these people to feel comfortable coming out of hiding or to begin properly enacting their plans and demonstrate just how fragile the peace was.

everything starts happening after all might retires on purpose, society crumbles fast after a single big incident on purpose, the kids can’t have a normal high school experience on purpose

i believe that the story wouldn’t nearly be as effective at conveying its story and its messages if there were like several 6 month long periods where just nothing happens in universe

contrast this with, say, one piece (not saying any spoilers i promise), a series that i hold near and dear to my heart, but also one with a relatively short timeline. in one piece, the short timeline doesn’t really serve a purpose, nor does it forward the story or the themes oda is telling in any meaningful way. the crew could spend a month or 2 sailing between some of the major islands instead of just days or a week or 2 and that wouldn’t change the story at all. if you stretch the mha timeline, i believe it does change the overall narrative drastically, even if the events were exactly the same

Society can still collapse in a day, but the events themselves should be more spread out.

At least to explain children catching up to top pros in power and skill.

brando-boy · OP · 7 months ago

again, that’s just average shonen stuff, if that’s seriously a big problem for you, you’re in the wrong market, but even then, the only people that were truly “caught up” were deku, bakugo, and todoroki, and EVEN THEN i wouldn’t say they fully had the skill and finesse that some of the top pros had. power maybe, but skill is totally different

tokoyami, the fairly commonly agreed on 4th strongest, needed very specific conditions in order to box in the same class as the big boys. uraraka was, respectfully, getting her shit rocked until her quirk awakening and even then she only survived at all because toga gave her own life to save her

everyone else was MARKEDLY under the “top pros”, and their individual moments of utility don’t change that

SheepherderRoutine36 · 7 months ago

Technically we don't know if they're stronger than the pros in power and skill, they level up fast yes but none of them fought a pro. The reason they all levelled up really fast is because they were getting huge amounts of experience just from the frequent villain attacks and increased hero training all this due the increased villain movement to do bad which well that's what villains do. Teenagers of the next generation, who's quirks are said to be stronger than the last, will be more powerful and get stronger quicker especially with that exp. They necessarily were catching up but were surely rising fast

Parker4815 · 7 months ago

The issue is that the kids go from learning about their quirks, to being stronger than most pro heroes in well under a year. The pro heroes don't get stronger in that time.

The series hints towards quirks getting stronger over time but even that's a bit much.

15 upvotes on reddit

brando-boy · OP · 7 months ago

that’s just kinda standard shonen stuff, but that can also be rationalized as many of the pros being complacent because they grew up and worked in an era where all might did 95% of things for them, compared to our kids being thrown right into the thick of it and having to learn of basically die

and/or the growth rate of kids just learning something being much faster than adults whose growth would be mostly marginal at that point after working for so long. it’s like how they say learning a skill or language is easier the younger you are

All might was strong but he can only be in one city at a time. All the other pros are constantly working and having to fight in life and death situations. (Aside from the ones that are just doing it for the celeb status)

SheepherderRoutine36 · 7 months ago

The pro heroes are at their peak, why would they get stronger when they're already maxxed out. Plus they are pros because they're thar strong. Also if you're talking about evolutions, yes that does happen but not to everyone right. The kids don't get stronger because quirks were stronger over time. Its just that they were hit with back to back fights and hero experience making them stronger. The villain was developing fast and striking too often hence making these kids level up real fast

PocketPika · 6 years ago

The sports festival is a great mechanic to keep things academic but interact with the larger world and can be used to reflect the changing state of society while seeing characters overcome unusual challenges- one thing I would quite like since the cavalry battle was a lot of fun and there are team sports, if the sports festival got kids to make teams for the festival.

Also, people get invested when characters compete and just throw their dummies out the pram when they don't get the results they want (Joint training arc).

The current situation is really restrictive to the students being involved in important events, and a time skip might give them more freedom by allowing the situation to cool down, and give the students more authority and agency.
