#about teenagers being at the helm of full scale wars

[bythepen98]

The more I see those spoilers and snippets of past chapters about the war with all of them fighting in mha, the more I think about how Izuku and the gang are literally still just kids doing their best to fight overpowered villains and dealing with all types of stress they weren't expecting for this early. Sure they have powers and have been trained for it (even though for most of them, its only been months to a yr?) but like....I look at actual normal 15-16 yr old kids today and try to imagine them in Class 1A's shoes fighting the big bad. Crazy to think about and shifts my world view little by little.

I also don't know why I'm surprised-pikachu-face at the concept bc teenagers power scaling and fighting ppl that even powered adults couldn't handle is a staple in shonen.

Team 7 and co were actually out here fighting an alien goddess but I didn't bat much of an eye at them going ham in their war. Probably has something to do with them being magic ninjas who were trained to kill at a young age while mha, despite the quirk business, feels more grounded(???not sure about the word. Basically it parallels the /real/ world more than Naruto's -obviously- so I feel the surrealness more clearly) bc it's a modern world where kids generally get to stay as kids, barring any unforseen incidents, until they enter a hero school.

Makes it all the more impressive that all the students in mha fighting have progressed so well with their abilities considering their youth and especially when they, to my current knowledge, don't have the kind of plot armor power scaling Deku and the villains (and maybe a select few other characters) do.
