idk ghouls this ending feels less like "you thought this was going to be intentionally hopeful but i made it a tragedy instead" subversion and more like someone else grabbed the pen
#like it LEGTIMATELY feels like someone barged into the studio or smth#bc it's so JARRING how there's so much heartache and tragedy over the villains deaths#who've been humanized and SPECIFCALLY POINTED OUT as ones to be saved and they WEREN'T#and the story is still going on with 'well the real ofa were the friends we made along the way; this truly was our hero academia'#the societal reform is all well and good but. deku has been irreversibly scarred#ALL of them have#some of them DIED#and we're still trucking along with the 'we did it! we saved to win and won to save!' DID WE???#it feels somehow on point and tone deaf at the same time. it feels like a genuine tragedy#for a manga that's been setting up a hopeful message for such a long time#idk guys maybe the last chapter will prove me wrong but it's not lookin good out here#bnha spoilers
