Well to be honest, she didn't really look like a Kenyan to begin with. What with the blue eyes and long straight white hair.

And I know about that comic. It still touches on a problem with Marvel's "superhero as stand-in for jews/gays/etc." since well, what would make Mutants like Storm abandon their ties of nationality, race, theology once they learn they have an X-Gene?

What's kind of annoying in the show is how they try to pretend that some of the quirks can be compatible with the laws of physics then have a bunch of bullshit that makes no sense.

For example, they spend time explaining how Mirio's quirk can send him through walls and floors, but due to the masses overlapping or some shit like that, he is expelled out of the floor back into the area. OK, fine. Bakugo has a "nitroglycerine-like substance" that secretes from his palms, Yaoyoruzu's stuff is made from fat lipids, limiting how much stuff she can create, Mineta's "hair", and Eijiro having super-strength skin, okay, fine. Add the lame-but-plausible quirks (talk to animals, having a tail, etc.) and the hand-waved powers that we've seen everywhere before (OfA is basically Superman power, Dark Shadow is basically Green Lantern, etc.) and you've got something that seems to be compatible with the world around them.

However, you've got bullshit that's never explained, like how Compress works (the "marbles" would be at least 100 pounds and not practical to be stuck in the mouth or between fingers without serious training), or especially "Meatball" (at least for someone to be conscious during the process and alive/intact afterward).

My Hero Academia never pretended to have a sense of realism in regards to the superpowers since the beginning, especially considering that Horikoshi is a huge fan of American superheros which are also not very known for having realistic explanations for their powers.
 
I read the manga long ago when it was first still new, before it was announced to get an anime adaptation. The last chapter I read was the tournament part during the race; overall my impression was 'its okay i guess' nothing really stuck with me aside from a non-super power character being able to go to super power school and having to continuously train so he can learn to use his abilities. It didn't drive me enough to continue checking for updates.

I'm late but I saw some comment mentioned that the author is a movie fan and his characters shared the same birthdays for actors like Robert Downy jr. (4/4) and Andy Serkis (4/20)

also its funny to see South Koreans screech about insensitivity when they enslave cripples; Japan on the otherhand offers them job opportunities.

Willing to bet he comes back. I mean, you literally have a chick that can rewind time now. Maybe not though, since if they didn't write around that, you could basically use a power like that to clone one for all infinitely by passing it on, and then reversing time on the passing individual.
