Amy's best car

Breeze

Her car from Sonic R

All Stars Racing Pink Cabriolet

Transformed Pink Cabriolet

TSR Pink Cabriolet

sidenote: all stars and transformed cars are similar but do have some major differences, but I have no clue why tsr is also called that even though its like, an entirely different car.

Thanks for the poll anon! I added her ride from Sonic Boom as it cropped up in my image search, hope this is okay.

What they do at those lectures ig

A little comfort for my baby Kacchan cause he needs it rn (I'm the one who needs it)

[jillflame]

The only reason I can see that justifies the bonus Vol 42 chapter's plot being so cruel to Katsuki is to set up the movie he's getting for winning the global poll.

Why else would they kind of leave his character alone and miserable?? You can find out in our ✨movie✨ (make sure you buy tickets so you can find out if your. Favorite. Character. ends up ok while Deku and Uraraka go off on their happily ever after!!) You're going to have to give them more money to find out if Katsuki gets a happy ending too.

All the movies are canon in mha, so I won't be surprised if this was how they decided to set the dominos up. If the leaks are real, they're a setup for the movie in the most disappointing and scummy way possible because don't worry China! His happy ending has nothing to do with Deku because he's with Uraraka!! Nothing sus going on here. Please let us screen our movie.

I’m convinced that those that say BNHA 431 had the perfect ending are people who just hate Bakugo/hate BkDk.

Because no way you can look at that chapter and say the character who won Number #1 in the popular polls for 9 years straight, was rejected by his childhood friend who he’s stuck by with for years to be that Wonder Duo the whole series built up, and who didn’t smile ONCE was given a good send off and ending.

[anghraine]

By popular demand (aka two people asked lol), a secondary Women's Wrongs Poll for characters I considered for the first one, but ended up not choosing for various reasons:

[anodizedblack]

I almost never make posts in here, but I’ve gotta get this out of my chest at last.

• Discovering My Hero Academia at 15.

• Seeing similarities between Izuku and myself : an emotional teen with a wish to help others, whose poor self-estime makes him try to befriend his bully.

• Enjoy the series for a while, but starts getting disturbed by Katsuki showing violent sadism while personally escaping any consequences.

• Find out a lot of fans not only like Bakugo for his toxic traits (although the author specified he was trying to make him unlikeable), but they also shipped the two together since day one.

• I’m seeing people glamorise a victim wanting the attention of his bully. I’m seeing people glamorise what broke my self-worth in my most vulnerable phase. It hurts.

• I try to not pay attention to it, but it just takes so much space in the fandom : shippers talking about a victim dating his active bully as « so romantic », people obnoxiously insisting how the manga WANTS YOU to see them romantically, even people drawing Bakugo… raping Izuku. I’m feeling sick to my soul, this is agonising.

• The pairing takes so much space its shippers impose themselves as THE queer ship, declaring anyone disliking it either can’t read or is homophobic, even though tons of same-sex ships from the manga have little to no backlash about them, because they’re simply not toxic.

• One Tumblr user even calls me homophobe for not seeing them romantically, something I have never been and never will be. And it happened at a time I was questioning my own sexuality.

• Fine, I won’t try to engage too much with this fandom and focus on the manga. But even without all this, it’s getting harder to enjoy : some characters with an interesting premise get eclipsed in favor of others chosen for their popularity in polls, many relationships are barely written and explored, others behave in a way that undo their character growth, the manga tries to introduce themes poorly, and I’m struggling to feel genuine sympathy for most of the villains.

• I just don’t enjoy this manga anymore, better just stop engaging with it.

• Time passes and I only occasionally see online stuff associated with it. Some plot points being discussed, but mostly shipping discourse again. With « bkdk » fans who seemingly dedicate their every online actions and life to that. Whose hostility and obnoxious behaviour has been immensely detrimental to the public image of the fandom, if not of the manga. They are still hellbent on insisting the entire story is about Bakugo and Izuku’s relationship, actually. Anyone believing otherwise, and pointing out parts of the story showing Izuku having feelings for another character is « delulu » of course.

• Bakugo finally makes his apology, 90% through the series. It’s laughable, and sounds like he doesn’t even know the amount of harm he’s done. Shippers use this as an opportunity to make themselves seem regular healthy fans, as if they haven’t been salivating at him verbally and physically abusing Izuku this whole time. The hypocrisy.

• The « first » ending of the manga comes out, and I find it disappointing. This suit should’ve been given to him by the government right after he recovered from his injuries, he saved the goddamn world. But instead he had to wait for years for his friends to spare money for it. Ugh. Anyways.

• The second and last ending, chapter 431 came out ? Izuku kindly declines an offer from Bakugo to work with him ? And it gives a conclusion to Ochako and Izuku’s relationship, showing them sharing feelings for one another ? So they did end up together… and the bkdk shippers are realising that. After all these years of being horrible, all this confidence and entitlement is simply breaking into a million pieces. And I’m loving every second of it. It absolutely brightens my day, my whole fucking weekend, that all those horrible people who fantasised over a ship born from a toxic idea of a relationship, from something that ruines lives, that broke me and countless others… are feeling disappointed, confused, stupid and miserable. Some say they don’t care, that they can seek refuge in their fanfictions written with « their » version of the characters, but the majority are visibly distraught and showing it. We told you guys, and you deserve every second of misery you’re going through.

It’s a low blow, I know. But you brought us this low.

You’re hurting, and we’re having the last laugh

[guiltipanda]

Bakugou was so upset when Izuku lost his quirk, for a lot of reasons. But he wanted the two of them to stay together, be heroes together. And he worked so hard to give Izuku back his dream, just to find out that Izuku's dream had changed. He wanted to continue being a teacher. He wasn't going to focus so much on being a hero in the same way that Bakugou was. In 431, he no longer shows any interest in standing shoulder to shoulder with Bakugou, in pushing each other to be the best.

431 makes it feel like Bakugou is holding on to a past that he hasn't fully accepted he lost, and Izuku has "grown up" in a way.

Which....kind of is a good thing for Izuku.

He was constantly pushing himself beyond his limits, breaking his body because he shouldered every responsibility himself. The manga....addresses this as a problem pretty often. But we never reeeaally see him learn why he shouldn't be doing that.

The Vigilante Deku arc was supposed to accomplish that. Show Deku learning to let others help him instead of destroying himself because he can only focus on the responsibility he feels to protect everyone. But the messaging is kind of undercut by Izuku being Izuku about it (Saying that All Might never did anything wrong and it was all his fault he became like that, never really confronting or admitting that he has an enormous amount of pressure placed on him externally that he needs to learn how to deal with better) and also the fact that we get the the 2nd War immediately after this, which has Izuku (with everyone else) pushing themselves beyond their limits and risking life and limb to win the war. Izuku narrowly avoids having another breakdown about everyone dying (understandable) and is once again breaking his body, risking his life, and doing more than anybody else (except arguably Bakugou) to save the day.

But it's necessary, because otherwise everyone dies and we don't get a big epic final battle, so this time it's okay.

The lesson is there, but it feels like there is a lack of follow-through. The fact that Izuku loses his quirk in the end kind of absolves him of really internalizing the lesson. It kind of feels like his growth ends after losing his quirk and he just kind of settles into complacency rather than actually maturing.

And for Bakugou, it just feels....sad. Because Bakugou really wanted Izuku to be in his life like he used to be, and Izuku says no. And we don't get a clear picture of how Bakugou plans to handle that, find another way to push himself to be better and keep moving forward. And we're told that Bakugou is actually dropping in the polls. Bakugou was always going to be a good hero, and he isn't obsessed with being the best anymore (also a good thing) but it seems like he's lost a lot of the fire he had, specifically because Izuku isn't there.

[epickiya722]

Do you think the reason people misunderstand Midoriya, Bakugou, Uraraka, etc. is because they misunderstand Horikoshi himself?

Like, people say chapter 431 doesn't contribute to the story, but I think that's wrong to an extent, since it does give closure to Ochako's character arc, which is her dealing about her feelings for Izuku (Hori probably got bored of the money to her parents motivation, since it's never brought up again). I think Izuku/Ochako was always Horikoshi's intention since he does mention that he planned her and Izuku to have several scenes, but like many shonen authors, he simply sucks at writing a proper romance or developing a female lead beyond pining for the hero, leading to Ochako becoming less prominent as he couldn't find a better role for her outside of being the token heroine that deals with the token female villain.

(His treatment of other female characters in this manga is also not the best it could be, but that's a talk for another day)

Meanwhile, he became more invested in writing Bakugou, likely due to popularity reasons (Horikoshi is famously scared of cancellation due to prior traumas with Oumagadoki Zoo and Barrage. It's why we had annual popularity polls). As a consequence, the relationship between Izuku and Katsuki became a lot more focused, which contributed to the popularity of the ship. However, I don't think this was ever intentional from Horikoshi's part, since again, he doesn't know how to write a proper romance, let alone a queer one. It's his own take of a Naruto/Sasuke-esque rivalry with lots of emotional tension, which he DOES know how to write due to growing up with Naruto, and it's arguably better written because he actually tries to explore the psyches of everyone involved. But at no point I think he even considered making an actual gay couple, especially since his exploration of rather sensitive topics like LGBT rights and racism are not particularly well-thought, even if well-meaning. Magne and Toga end up evil and dead simply for trying to find liberty in an oppressive society, and Shoji's discrimination plotline is squished in the story at the last minute despite its inherent potential. This all tells me that he's not really this overly progressive, status quo-shattering mangaka that some people believe him to be, he's just a guy writing a superhero story that sometimes deals with social issues, akin to the X-Men.

In the end, I think Horikoshi just decided to end things the way he planned from the start, while not giving much thought to the middle. He did make Ochako's feelings a plot point, so he had to give some closure to that, but alas, he didn't give it the development it deserved beforehand. It was always in the back of his mind as he always sprinkled those "Ochako is crushing again" moments here and there, but never had it as a priority in the story due to the popularity of the main duo + Shouto and his dad, thus chapter 431.

That said, Horikoshi is still an amazing mangaka, but like many others, he is still learning, especially now that he is no longer some obscure creator and has to deal with the usual trappings of fame. He probably never expected MHA to be as huge as it is and it genuinely caught him offguard.

Could be that people do misunderstood Horikoshi's writing. There's many writing styles out there. And really depending on the individual who cross a specific writing style they can either understand it or don't.

I, myself, don't think I'm an expert on any writing style except for my own.

I do think Horikoshi didn't expect MHA to become as popular as it did, especially when his previous works didn't even run that long. (I did enjoy OZ though, that was fun.)

During the years, with that rising popularity it could be that he had to keep building up the plot and I felt like had he had more prepared and probably had more time some of the plot lines could have been handled better.

He just had to experiment along the way while also going by the words of his editors and assistants. (There was also Horikoshi's health issues which hindered some creative development. How relatable.) So there some things he could and couldn't do. I mean part of the ending we got wasn't even the original ending we had in mind, not completely. One element of that OG ending (Movie: Heroes Rising) he did keep that I can think of is Midoriya losing OFA. Which was something that definitely coming.

Also, another factor of that misunderstanding of Horikoshi's writing are cultural and experience differences.

Now with Ochako and her crush, I'll be honest, even though it was "obvious" she's the supposed "love interest", I still don't think Horikoshi intended for her to only be known as that, let alone probably not really one at all.

Horikoshi has written female leads before and they're not written to be a love interest. (Shoutout to Hana Aoi, I adore her. Always doing her best.) Ochako didn't begin the story liking Izuku like that and that crush came later in the story. Heck, going back, a lot of their earlier moments I wouldn't consider "romantic". Just more like "look at these silly kids".

You mentioned Horikoshi stated he wanted to add more scenes for Izuku and Ochako, but what kind of scenes?

I get it as in more scenes in general. When thinking about it because as the story gets to the ending, Izuku doesn't have a lot of scenes with Shoto or Tenya who like Ochako he did become good friends with in the earlier parts of the story.

You know what, to me it seems like the first half of MHA was Izuku building up those bonds with the people in his class and the latter half became him kind of coming to grips on his responsibility as the last/ninth OFA user. First half of those building bonds kind of works because come later those friends do come in clutch for him in the second half.

But anyways!

With the romance, Horikoshi may not actually want to write it, no matter the gender. But probably went to add it in much later because it what draws some parts of the fandom in.

Who really knows, but Horikoshi?

I don't know, he never seem like the kind of mangaka who has cares to throw in a love plot (at least for the leads) in his stories.

I'm not an expert on his writing, I'm still trying to understand it myself. However, I do think his style is misunderstood.

Whose isn't?
