#MHA rant

[chronicinsomniacyapper]

me watching season 1 of mha: *watching bakugou be a bully* “oh, this dumb bitch-“

me finishing the manga: “you have been upgraded, dumb bitch.”

[flippythegodzilla]

Going to rant here but I hate all might bashing

Seriously how do you look at that man and find him evil?

Like I get it he’s not a good teacher but he cares for izuku! And he is trying to be better for him!

People take one scene! One scene of him telling Izuku no about being a quirkless hero the man who was injured badly who was honestly depressed and had been told that he would be dying, the man who can’t even use the quirk he was gifted to its full potential anymore and just wanted to protect Izuku and think oh he’s evil!

Could he had said it better? Yes!

But he had good intentions for Izuku

And honestly! People do all might bashing so they can make Aizawa a better teacher and make dad eraser and I’m like ok you can have Aizawa be a better teacher without butchering All Might’s character

“But all might didn’t teach Izuku how to use one for-“ because he was a natural at it. It was said in canon that all might took one for all naturally. He didn’t need much help besides learning how to actually fight from Gran Torino

“But he’s too prideful he should had call Gran Torino earl-“ listen I love Gran Torino he like a sassy yoda but he was abusive to All Might. I don’t fully blame Torino he was hurting after nana’s death and was preparing all might to not die but he was abusive. And all might was traumatized by his training and you can not fully blame him for his fear. You try to call a person who made you throw up repeatedly and see how you do it.

“But he told Izuku to keep one for all a secret!” One for all is a secret! One Izuku made that decision at first to not tell his mom so all might can keep being all might to everyone. Then the bakugou scene after the battle trial… Izuku spoke out in public, out in public when anyone can hear. He was telling Izuku to be more careful tbat if anyone learn of the quirk tbat can be pass on everyone from villains to even civilians would be coming after him! Also all might didn’t know Bakugou except as the boy who tried to kill Izuku during a simple battle trail they both have to be careful about who knows about one for all.

Anyway, all I’m saying is justice for All Might he does not need his character to be butchered so badly

“Just because you commit a crime doesn’t make you a villain for life!” “Take my hand, Aoyama.” -Izuku Midoriya

“Just because you commit a crime doesn’t make you a villain for life!” “Take my hand, Aoyama.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!” “TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!” “TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!” “TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA.” -Izuku Midoriya

“JUST BECAUSE YOU COMMIT A CRIME DOESN’T MAKE YOU A VILLAIN FOR LIFE!”

“TAKE MY HAND, AOYAMA”

“THAT’S IT, DEKU!”

Katsuki finally figured it out! Izuku had every right to treat Katsuki like a villain to see him as a villain due to the bullying BUT Izuku did no such thing

Izuku had forgiven Katsuki so long ago and even All Might said it. That Izuku doesn’t see it that way

Izuku had forgiven Katsuki so long ago that Katsuki couldn’t see it. The reason Katsuki acted so shocked and he said “That’s it, Deku!” was because he couldn’t believe that Izuku was a very extremely forgiving person. He couldn’t believe the pure fact that Izuku had forgiving him for all the literal crap he put Izuku in from both words and actions

So it’s no guess for Katsuki to react the way he did. Katsuki is looking directly at Izuku’s hand. The same hand that reached out for Katsuki

“That’s it, Deku!”

Every time someone headcanons Dabi as a horrible, abusive playboy & sadist a piece of me dies, a rant;

He's the most painfully neurodivergent virgin you could ever lay your eyes upon rivaling shigaraki, bro is too hyperfixated on killing his dad to care about getting laid, would NOT have several baby mamas he does NAWTTT get play

I see the vibe, I do, but he's more sad recluse emo boy than sexed up spooky man. And I get he's said misogynistic shit in canon but I think he'd come to be not completely awful because it's clearly because of his dad's influence?

Obviously he wouldn't be the world's most attentive partner, you'd probably be getting ghosted several times a week by the recluse but I don't think he'd go beating on his partner or whatever even if he's emotionally lacking

Sorry this is all jumbled, just been bugging me lately

[mimez-meme]

I fear there could be SO much to him but it isn’t explored like it should be. Horikoshi wasted him fr..

[eu0n1a]

in my world, izuku isn't sane.

he never gets therapy, "i don't need it" or "i don't have time to," that's always his excuse. too focused on work and after work he's too tired. barely any time to breathe until he's with you.

it's affected your relationship too. started with convincing you not to work, he makes enough. no going out, he'll simply get someone to do your errands. don't visit family, they're too far away. don't visit friends. just stay home where you're safe and cozy from the disgusting, perverted outside world. God knows how he'd act if he lost you too.

he knows there's something wrong, but he can't focus on that right now. has to keep fighting, fighting for you, fighting for the world. he's the government's toy, a killing machine. machine's don't need to relax, don't need therapy, don't think of who they have to hurt to get to their goal.

by his 30s, he's so used to death around him. shuts down emotions for the sake of not letting the realization hit. especially during cases where he has to end villains. heavy morally grey character, compared to where he started.

works not just to help others, but to keep himself busy. give him more cases or he'll just reread and review old ones, closed or not. don't let it get quiet for a mere second. but he can't escape those thoughts manifesting themselves in his dreams. innocent people and comrades he couldn't save. recognizing he isn't as good and perfect as the media makes him out to be.

If i see one more person comparing about Bakugo being No.15 in the hero charts IMMA SCREAMM. All i see r people being like that’s so OOC of him…??? like did we read and watch the same anime/manga. Bakugo only cares about rankings and competition if DEKU WAS IN THE EQUATION. Bc they both pushed eachother to be better heroes during their first year at UA. The people saying it’s OOC of bkg to not be top 10 r delusional and have mischaracterized him also when he got IN THE CHARTS THE FIRST TIME HE WAS No.4, BUT his HOT HEADED AND BRASH attitude got him down to No.15

This is one of my MANY RANTS about people shitting on the MHA epilogue.

Good fucking night.

-Written by someone who has LOVED BAKUGO SINCE EP.1 since i was like 15

[v0id-clawz]

I dispise Bakugo Katsuki.

He sucks. I genuinely do not care if he "changed", he is a down right abusive person. The ONLY reason Izuku didn't k1ll himself is because it would get Bakugo in trouble. Izuku has done nothing, literally nothing to Bakugo, and yet he continues to both physically and mentally abuse Izuku. Izuku is permanently scarred because Bakugo can't get it through his thick skull that that Izuku isn't this worthless trash that he imagined him to be. I genuinely can't understand why any one would ship Izuku with his abuser. It is shown from episode one that Bakugo does not care for Izukus life or well-being. I hate him. I hate that no one cares about what Bakugo put Izuku through. I hate that no one cares.

Tldr, Bakugo is a pathetic, abusive man.

[strawberijasper]

I think something I really like about bnha is that I don't celebrate when the villains are defeated.

Horikoshi, for all the valid criticisms there are to be made, does a really good job at humanizing his villains and making you care about them. The story is no longer black and white, good vs evil. There's complexity, nuance with both the heroes and villains. The heroes fuck up and do bad things, the villains are sympathetic and rather than wanting to see good triumph over evil, you want to see the heroes save them.

Of course he has villains that you absolutely want to be defeated, All For One, Overhaul, and Muscular for example. But even with those villains (aside from maybe Muscular but we also don't get much time with him) feel human, they're not just these mustache twirling villains, they have more to them.

But with the league, they feel like a family. Like a true found family. They're all hurting from their own past traumas, they've all made bad choices (or were groomed into it- looks at Shiggy), but that doesn't take away from the bond they share. You feel for them when they get hurt, you cry and mourn when they die. Bnha makes you look critically not just at the villains, but at the circumstances that lead them to this.

I got to the point where I was genuinely rooting for the league, not that I wanted them to win since winning meant All For One would win and that I can't get behind. But I was rooting for them to be saved, to make the choice to allow the heroes to help them. I want the league to make people look at the society they live in and the discrimination they perpetuate and think that maybe it's time things change.

And we do get hints at that in the timeskip, Uraraka being a quirk activist making a world where Toga could have thrived, the world she deserved. Genuinely I think that's beautiful. Deku also does something similar, inspiring kids with strange quirks and likely other quirkless kids because it's what he wanted as a kid. But I like to think that a lot of the former class A kids went on to do things similar.

I know a lot of this is just kind of obvious, bnha isn't unique in how it handles it's villains, but I just needed to talk about it because it's something that I love about the series among many other things.

I wish we could have gotten to see the league happy, and knowing that a lot of them will never get that makes me genuinely sad. But that's what fanfiction and AUs are for I guess!

[bibibbon]

Tin foil hat moment here. I do think hori sabotage his mc, Izu, but also sabotaged LoV as well. All to make the abusers look better and what is infuriating is how...he didn't even accomplish that.

Saw a post talking how LoV are a bunch of losers bc they couldn't win, even when they had all the advantages Possum aka Shig come across as pathetic (even dabi and I agree bc like what was his goal? Ok, kill himself and Endy but what was he doing to reach said goal? Was necessary be with LoV for that?)

And like we all talk about Izu defending Endy was bs, I totally agree. And it makes Izu look bad.

But you know who else looks awful? Dabi.

Yes, he is a villain and no, not every villain needs to be "this sweet guy that if you give a hug he will be a good guy" but dabi wanting to murder his entire family for no reason ...dabi now being the bad seed all along makes Endy looks bad.

And hell, even am is ruined (rich coming from someone who does call him an idiot) bc he seems to be more fond of bk and shoto, guys who have quirk, over his heir (no, not saying am is quirkcist. I'm saying he is a horrible mentor for Izu and in the end, preferred those have easy quirks to deal with ....like the am iron suit was bad, but it does feel like he sees them as better heroes and may not be intentional but ouch)

I hope I'm making sense here.

Izu and LoV were sabotaged for the sake of their abusers. Bk in the end is the hero with an agency and Izu is a teacher who people, in the fake friend class, ignored for 8 years until he is useful again.

MHA is so grim without people realizing.

I'm kind impressed. Many webcomics who want to be edgy, who show people being viciously murder on first chapter can't reach this level of dispair MHA has...and MHA is "a happy story"

Wow

Hi @mikeellee 👋

The series has a lot of mixed messaging, and this could be summed up to a lot of reasons and various factors . Yes, I feel like you can argue that one of them is the favouritism of certain characters.

The narrative treats izuku horribly but also frames it in a way where things are supposed to not look bad for izuku and that they're actually somehow good for him?!?! @lacunammmm points this out the best in their posts and how the narrative doesn't seem to properly develop izuku or give him proper consequences.

Due to this, I won't be focusing on the narrative treatment that izuku gets because I feel like many before me have done that, and I have covered it in some other posts.

Rant

But why?!?! Why make izuku lose his arms if he is going to regain them in less than a chapter? Foreshadowing? Trying to give the chara ter actual concequences except they're not long-lasting, and izuku never learns to be incredibly self-deprecating? What was the point? Also, why didn't Izuku receive some acknowledgement or canonical consequences for the way he was using his quirk and the lasting impact it must have had on his body? Like the boy was using blackwhip and actively merging it with his body molecules and muscles just to keep moving. He was quite literally controlling his body like a puppet, and there's somehow no long-lasting consequences?

Hori, this is what happens when you use your main character as a mouthpiece and essentially forget all the previous characterisation you gave him as an individual massacring your protagonist!

Now getting onto what I mostly want to talk about, and that's the League of Villains!

Horikoshi fails the league of villains multiple times and I think the most evident time is during the peak of the MVA arc when they gave access to all the resources imaginable to truly achieve their goal of destorying the status quo.

They had a good chunk of resources. Actually, they had a lot of resources that they could have used in so many ways to beat the heroes yet didn't do any of that and still failed because the plot demanded them to do so. Don't even get me started on how bad this missed opportunity is that it makes Shigaraki look like a static character who never learns how to be a good leader and develop a goal outside of just destorying things but learning that he like Stain also despises the status quo and would do anything to change it for the better even if his methods are unethical and extreme.

All of the villains in the League of Villains' goals were tied to the status quo and how they felt trapped by it or wanted to destroy it.

This idea stands for dabi as well, who joins the league for the sole purpose of wanting to destroy the status quo and make Stain's words of a world full of true heroes a reality. The messaging also stands for toga and spinner who all admire Stain as well.

In the end, the destruction of the status quo is what brought this team together even if they might be separated in what that destruction looks like and what they want from it.

Dabi is an interesting character to me that gets done dirty by horikoshi. Hot take, but I find Dabi's hatred towards his entire family interesting because it shows so much of touya in the same breath. Dabi sought the validation of his father until it killed him. He went back thinking that there was a place for him just to see with new eyes the dysfunctionality of his household, and with that, he grew to hate everything about it, even the victims of Enji's abuse. His main goal is to prove enji wrong and kill him even if it costs his life. dabi has a complicated relationship with the rest of the family, or he should have if they were well written. Before the incident, Touya had an unfavourable relationship with fuyumi most likely tainted by his mysgonsitic views towards women, which were most likely instilled in him by enji. Natsou was the only one he truly respected and liked enough to truly confide in while he slowly grew to hate shoto due to what shoto represented. A huge part of dabi's arc should have been him growing to be the opposite of enji, to hate all that enji represents and all that enji is and through that his view of his family members changes. This isn't to say that he should love all of them as I still think that there deserves to be relationships coated with hate and guilt such as dabi and fuyumi or dabi and shoto.

Dabi is a man who would have grown to hate enji and would have been an interesting contrast to fuyumi the women who wants a normal family, who wants to and has desperately tried to fit in the status quo contrasted with the man who lost everything trying to do so and now wants enji's head on a plate.

Dabi and Natsou would be a relationship filled with grief. Natsou knows touya the most and the aspects of touya are forever intertwined in his relationship with natosu. I imagine that in a desperate attempt to erase the past Dabi may try and cut natsou off most likely during his encounter with ending until he relaises that he can't and that there will always be touya in Dabi.

Dabi and shoto is as classic as it gets. The failure and the success. Two sides of the same coin that are ever so separated until they choose to bridge the gap or don't it's up to them.

Dabi and rei may be the most complex of them all to me. Especially due to the emotions it has, the guilt that caused them to go insane, the pain, the grief, the hatred, the love that they have for one another. It's all so much, and a lot of it is bitter but with a hint of hope, hope for reconciliation for the better that can only be achieved after enji's demise in the eyes of dabi.

I feel like the way *some* people handle Endeavor’s atonement arc by saying it never should’ve happened really annoying and so unsympathetic to victims who still have their abusers in their lives when it comes to parent child dynamics

It’s more common than you think that a child will forgive (key word: forgive, not forget) their parents for wrong doing. The important part is that the child HAS that choice which is why I find Endeavor’s ‘atonement’ arc really impactful.

Now, there is Dabi who yes would benefit from him being dead so there IS an argument to be made there, but remember there are 3 other siblings who wouldn’t, in fact it would probably only work to their detriment

‘But what about Natsuo’ yes, including Natsuo.

By Endeavor being alive and trying to work on himself and his relationship with his family, the most important part about what he does is not forcing it. He doesn’t force any of his kids to talk to him, he doesn’t force forgiveness, he allows them to choose whatever they feel is right. Natsuo, for his own healing, chooses to go no contact which guess what? That’s PERFECTLY valid. If he had died before Natsuo had that ability to make that choice for himself all it would have done is left Natsuo with a tangle of emotions, that he may of been able to solve but it still would’ve been far more difficult than him being able to make the choice for himself. I say this as someone whose father, who in many ways was very similar to Endeavor, died *before* I had that chance to make the choice myself.

Then there’s Fuyumu. I noticed all the siblings take on a sort of role within their family that is often present within dysfunctional family dynamic, Fuyumi especially. Some people say her wanting to make everything okay, her jumping at the thought of Endeavor attempting to make things right is poor writing but honestly… I have to disagree. She has been put under so much stress, taking on the role that is often referred to as a care taker, clearly often times trying to mediate conflict within the family. It’s certainly not healthy, but taking that stress away not through death will give her the chance to really cope with her OWN feelings on how SHE was treated, not being so focused on how everyone else would grapple with the grief of Endeavor dying, because like it or not? They would all experience grief in some way

And then we have Shoto who’s somewhat in the middle here. He was Endeavor’s ‘fixation’ so to speak, the “golden child” (not to say that he was treated very golden but still). We know about his complicated feelings about his father as well, he’s only like… what 15? 16? At that age he’s hardly pressed to be able to feel with the complicated emotions that come with grieving a parent who was never all that good to you, I know this because I myself was 14 when my father died and man I was a MESS. He would be okay eventually, yes, but with everything he has on his plate you want to ADD ON his father’s death? He does want to forgive his father, and he does want to move on, the IMPORTANT PART, and I cannot stress this enough, is that they are given the CHOICE.

Often times, people treat those who have chosen to forgive their abusers for one reason or another like crap. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to not forgive an abuser, or choosing to not want to speak with them ever again, for example: Natsuo, but there’s also nothing wrong with wanting to forgive and wanting to move past, what’s important is that you chose what is healthiest for you.

[tenkos-heart]

many people have said this better than me but like.

getting rid all of the people who criticized your society and just have said society to go back how it was before minus ochako trying to pave way for mental health is not a good message to send!!! or the fact that a lot of you care more about wither or not your ship is canon then the fascist, bootlicking ending says a lot about you, too!!! -proship/compship dni-

Black People in anime

I love anime, I really do. I won't complain BUT THIS is ridiculous!!! I am sorry. I LOVE MIRKO SHE IS MY FAVORITE HERO IN MHA. And this is what they do to her.

You guys can make whatever excuse you want? But that is just ridiculous. Like no she is not Latina or anything like that SHE BLAISAN PERSON.

I am sorry but you guys accept and think it is expected to lewd or sexualize Daki and Nezuko and think allowed but the moment someone makes a black oc in Demon Slayer or JJK you guys go hate crime on it. People were talking about how Okarun and Momo was race-swapped on Twitter as well other other Japanese work but you guys JUST COMPLAIN THAT IT ERASES THE JAPANESE TRAITS. I understand that and all but; I am sorry BUT WHAT IS THE BONES DOING TO MIRKO NOT WHITE WASHING HER. And Okarun's English voice actor even put it as his profile picture and you guys think that it is okay??? Arcane is inspired by anime IT HAVE BLACK REPRESENTION. Lolirock HAVE BETTER BLACK REPRESENTATION, MLB HAVE BLACK REPRESENTATION, and POKEMON HAVE BLACK REPRESENTATION. Even MLP has better black representation, PINKIE PIE and those blue eyes ain't fooling nobody. I was so riled up that I had to search up Carole & Tuesday last night because my black African American was not flipping happy.

And you know if Japan can do better black representation than THE WHOLE FANDOM then you know flipped up. You flipped up royalty bad.

I just found some black anime shows that I might bing tonight. There is a reason why I love Hunter x Hunter and XO XO Kitty so much. There is a reason why I love Arcane and Lolirock there a reason why I love Pokemon.

THERE'S BLACK PEOPLE IN JAPAN, and THERE'S BLASIAN PEOPLE IN JAPAN JUST SEARCH IT UP cause you guys can suck the fun out of everything I tell you everything.

And apparently Miriko is tanned which really nigga really I get it but still. (ㆆ_ㆆ)

At the same time, Twitter is where all the stupid people go, so I guess it makes sense, but still. Even I understood that even thou I was confused when I researched Okiawa people online 🙂

So I understand, but this is retrated ¬_¬

[katsuizu-stuff]

GUYS! bones changed the positions of the characters in this panel / scene

Just look at the difference

Original panel

We got Todoroki looking at Izuku

We got Tsu looking at Izuku’s side

Kiri facing/looking at Katsuki

And we got a pretty far distance from Katsuki and Izuku

Bones scene

We get the DekuSquad talking together as a group

We get Todoroki facing away from Izuku. As well as him looking down at his hand and facing/positioned towards Iida, Uraraka and Asui

We get Tsu looking up at Todoroki

We still get Kirishima in the same place and facing/looking at Katsuki like the original panel

And the space between Izuku and Katsuki isn’t far away. In fact they are positioned closer than the original panel

THEY CHANGED IT! Bones actually changed the original panel!
