in which wonderful & terrible things happen to etho's person, but he's not going to let that stop him from recording an episode. for some reason?

etho: something happened today guys, something wonderful just happened to me. let me tell you about it. so earlier today, i had to knock some snow off of a roof, right. and i was like "okay, what do i use? what do i use?" i didn't need to do much, just a little bit, so it's like, there's a broom next to me, that'll probably work. i picked it up, i shook it on the ground a couple times to knock the dirt out of it, you know? and sure enough, while looking up at what i was doing, there was no dirt falling out or anything but there was one giant piece of sawdust still in the broom - it fell out, went right in my eye. [laughs] and - you know sometimes, you get something in your eye and it's like, oh man i gotta get this thing out! but other times it's like, [whisper-screaming] "AAAAAH!!!" it hurts so bad, today it hurt so bad. i just like stopped what i was doing and ran inside, crying out of one eye. and after five minutes or so the piece of wood got so soggy from the tears it didn't hurt as bad anymore. i finally got it out, it's been like eight hours in my eye. i couldn't get it out as much as i tried before. so i'm feeling so much better i'm so happy, it's finally gone, it's left me! etho: in fact it's still usable, the mic and the speakers are fine, they just aren't being held together properly. and i was gonna try and fix it - but i put it on my head and when i took it off i saw it was leaking glue out of the seams for some reason? and i was like, i'm not putting that on my head anymore, so... etho, about the same headset several years later: i just broke my headset again. funny enough not where the superglue was, but in a brand new spot. i tried to fix it and i got superglue all over my fingers now. can't feel anything in my fingers. it's terrible. etho: i sat down too soon here in my leather chair. my back is just damp - still damp from the shower! and it's the worst sticky, nasty feeling ever! and I can't lean forward because then I'll be in the wrong position for the microphone, so I just have to deal with it, guys. my life is so hard.

Shouto's updated profile!

This is google translate so here is the Japanese version:

The animation of Shouto's action movements in "More" (from Jason Yao)

I really love how Jason Yao conceptualised pro-hero Shouto's movements as an adult. There are a lot of little details that show the precision and increased control.

First, I note how in the "skating part" Shouto is not moving on pure ice , but on small blasts of phosphor coming from both feet, depicted green, rather than the blue of his ice. This technique allows Shouto to move fast without leaving ice residue on the road.

I also love how his movements are similar to a speed skater rather than the kind of "ice surfing" pose he used to have

His technique also allows to seemlessly transition from speed to power as he winds up his move with a 360 turn stop, using the momentum itself to power and shape his move

He doesn't just mindlessly lob the ice in the van's direction. The compress-release method is visible as he's aiming with his new gauntlet. The compression is depicted with the same star-shaped sparkles as used for Bakugou's cluster. The circle shows how Shouto's aim is precise, like a sniper's. This all leads to a controlled release. The way he bursts with power is visible in his forearm and fingers.

It's really cool how we switch afterward to the ice's perspective. We can see that starting the move from a turn actually makes the ice also curve around. It gives time for the other three to jump out of the way and it targets the van in a very precise line. The way Shouto's teammates are moving even without looking back shows that they know exactly where and how the ice will hit and they don't need to worry being caught up in it.

As a final cool detail, I want to mention the green arcs of flashfire that we see - reminding us that Shouto's movements are not ice only, but firmly powered by his two-sided movements, first seen in Shouto origin

I have started to follow in more detail the work of animators in Bones in S4-5 which is when Jason Yao joined the staff. I've always been amazed how much thought he put into his animation concepts and it was amazing to see his incredible growth through these years. I'm super happy that he conceptualized pro hero Shouto's technique for us really going back to the root, but in a way that shows Shouto's control, his use of Phosphor and the way he evolved in the 8 years we didn't see.
