Yada yada, kudou looked through Izukuâs memories and saw big gay thoughts, but we already knew they were gay. Of course they were gay. Theyâve always been gay.
YOU KNOW WHAT I WANNA TALK ABOUT? THIS OFA QUIRKLESS THING!
Itâs so FASCINATING! And I know Iâm late to the party (school, work, life, depression, art block, the list could go on) but all I can think about is the trust that this entire situation holds.
On one hand, Izuku has to trust Kudou and his abilities. Defeating him from the inside out is probably the only way Izuku will win at this point.
And on the other hand, Izuku in his own way, is having to trust shigaraki, something he hasnât done nor even considered before. He sees that little boy inside of him, but thereâs more to that little boy. The man that stands before him, broken and beaten and shattered emotionally by society, is a person too. It truly doesnât matter that the boy exists; yes itâs a way for Izuku to understand that concept of âheroes and villains are cut from the same clothâ, but itâs also the understanding that even when someone has fucked up their life, still deserves to be treated as a person for doing so. Everyone, EVERYONE, deserves the right to be and feel like a real and alive human being.
To me, itâs in the same vain as Izuku as a little boy. We could go over he details ALL DAY as to how he became the person he is, what couldâve been different, what couldâve happened. But at the end of the day, the only thing that changes the past is how we view it; Katsuki knows this.
Thereâs a part of me that whenever I see a fanfic where Katsuki meets his old middle school self that he hates him, wants to kick him down, humble him, whatever other verb here:
But that small part of me always thinks that itâs⌠oddly out of character.
Okay, comparing Katsuki and Izuku, who is more ashamed of their pasts?
If you guessed Izuku (and you agree with me), tell me what exactly inclines you to think that?
Because the difference between them is who accepts themself, and who doesnât.
Accepting yourself doesnât just mean, accepting that you were a bad person but youâre better now so itâs okay. No, I think thatâs actually more complex than implied.
In my opinion, seeing your past actions as something to forgive is important too. Katsuki meeting his middle school self may seem like an aggressive cat fight in idea, but it practice may turn into high school Katsuki being unaffected by middle school him. He knows why he thought what he did, understands that it was bad, but also understands why that mindset came to be. He can be sorry to Izuku AND sorry to himself.
Izuku I think feels a sense of shame for his middle school self, especially that weakness. He cried more in middle school too; he didnât try. Thatâs what heâs most mad about and unable to forgive himself for, he didnât try.
And to an extent, Izuku has to learn that his perception of his past is what matters most: Shigaraki is the same.
Shigaraki as a little boy couldâve lived better circumstances. He couldâve found a hero and been saved. He couldâve had this or that or made a better decision. And I think a small part of him feels guilty for it. Shigaraki also doesnât accept his past.
Ofa being taken away, as saddening as it may seem to fans, was always an ending I was hoping for. Of course I could be wrong and by the end of the manga he still has it, and while Iâd still be happy with that ending⌠I just really want Izuku to let himself be a human being. A flawed one, with things he could or could not change, and accepting that fact.
After all, âYouâre still human.â Right?
And sorry to bring up the girls again, but part of the key components to saving Himiko were trusting her, and not clinging to a small part of her. She wanted to see and know Himiko as she is, not who she was.
Thatâs this dudes problem; even if he wants to tear that rug to pieces, thereâs certain ideas that hold him back. Think, the idea that your emotions matter less over others, or hating yourself for flaws that nearly every human being has.
Izuku saving Shigaraki has always always always been about saving himself too, and I love that.
Izuku had to trust Katsuki in this battle, trust allmight, trust Ochako, trust people. He had to let them take the wheel, the burden. Maybe he and Shigaraki can lift that burden for themselves too. His mask is broken, heâs become a monster blackwhip thingâŚ
Whatâs your move Izuku?
