Sooo, ch 379 is basically

[that-spider-fan-over-there]

Something about Izuku I keep thinking about is how much he's a downright hypocrite and the only reason he isn't called out on it is because he's one for himself and not for others and at the core of it all it boils down to his pending childhood issues and the *vaguely gestures* "relationship" he and Katsuki have- I mean, just out of the top of my head:

Wants to be a strong and dependable hero but is at his weakest when he's alone.

Says to Himiko he would never hurt someone he loves but was the reason Katsuki was forced to dance with death until his own sacrifice. Hell, I'm expecting him to actually accidentally hurt Katsuki (Physically? Emotionally? You decide) next time they talk.

Wants to save people with a smile but barely cracked genuine ones during his battle with Tenko- I can think of two(?), and even then those felt more like a resignation (379 and 412 iirc) than actual smiles.

Being aware Kacchan's a jackass, fine, but the entire "Imitate the people you love/admire" themes, having an attitude when heated or absolutely Done with anyone's BS (makes sense for someone who grew up besides a kid in the Inferiority-Superiority Complex but still) and "This is a battle between All For One and One For All, you can't keep up" is still very much pot calling the kettle black (it's because his "arrogance" is rooted in selflessness and desire to be useful but that's for another day)

Deadass called All For One out for being a lonely man pretending to be a "Demon Lord" yet will not admit he himself thinks a he's just a lonely kid pretending to be a hero; and by the time he seemed to be growing out of it: Paranormal Liberation Front.

"IT'S YOUR POWER, ISN'T IT?!" Cool, nice of him to comfort Shoto and try the same with Touya, now if only he could do the same in regards to himself and OFA-

Wasn't able to connect with Tenko at all and that's why he failed but it's wild to me he'd still the one who even at surface level could relate to):

Spinner, because they're nerds who were ostracized based on Quirks/lack thereof looking for a purpose and were unable to help him because of AFO's interference;

Himiko, because they want to be like others (because they hate themselves at least a little bit) but also show love in a way others wouldn't accept and;

Touya, because they wanted to prove they could be useful to others and be heroes to the point of actively harmed themselves while using their own Quirk.

Hell, when you think about it he related to the crying child but he could've used Literally Anything from his relationship with Katsuki to try and reach Tenko, but of course he didn't, that means he'd have to think about his own issues and yet he saw Tenko's issues no wonder he didn't get the job done-

Also can we talk about him saying he relates to Ochako confronting Himiko but she actually succeeded- Or even Shoto wanting to forgive Endeavor; I keep recalling both Ch. 322 him saying he won't forgive Tenko for anything he did (understandable but still) and Tenko going "And I won't forgive anyone". Connecting these three instances are huge stretches, I know, but really, he hasn't addressed the apology he got- combined narrative punishments for empty platitudes.

Kept saying he needed to improve in his control with OFA: had to get beaten up during his internship and in the Summer Camp for that lesson to stick... Then he heard the words "Control Your Heart" and decided to Not Address It At All.

Supposed to surpass but he's really All Might's successor in every way that counts: Smile so nobody will worry, keep fighting even though you are destroying yourself, be so selfless you'll make your friends desperate enough to make you stop for your own good, hide every single thing you can about yourself, the only difference is in the bed they made: Toshinori lies in omission most of the time, and Izuku thinks he lies in white when almost every other character's in the dark, but as long as there's a dream of bright smiles in the future, who cares they're now forcefully entangled in this nightmare, right?

And these are just the examples I can think of the top of my head, there might be more, but. No wonder we've been "panicking" (let's be real his therapist already scheduled him for Ground Beta atp-) Shoto and Ochako brushed him off by accident in Chapter 425, it's the consequences of his hypocritical ass coming back to bite him-

(I am not hating on him, by the way, it's just something about him I wanted to point out. I like that aspect of his. Makes him more human. But jeez can someone call him out and make him practice what he preaches? XD)

ORV - Ch 379

I recalled her book tucked away within my inner pocket and raised my voice. “....Just like you said, I do not know Han Su-Yeong.”  “Indeed, you’ve finally acknowledged it.”  “That is why I definitely can’t let her go.”  “What was that??”  “You see, I haven’t heard the conclusion of this story from her yet.” . . . What would be the end of the scenario that Han Su-Yeong wanted? Han Su-Yeong didn’t tell me the correct answer. As if she was telling me to use my own imagination for something like that.

Singnsong's foreshadowing, BUT HERES THE THING.

Han Sooyoung actually tells him straight up, a few chapters after this quote. "Wtf do you mean, 'imagine your own ending', I wanted us to GET MARRIED."

In a novel written by HSY, her missing ending is supposed to be marriage.

My hypothesis is that the ending of 'Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World' and 'ORV' ends in Kim Dokja getting married. :)

In this essay, I will...

Deku, Shigaraki.

Manga: My Hero Academia [Ch.379]

[greenhappyseed]

MHA Ch.379 leak reactions:

Rock Lock! Hmm, I thought his quirk would do something about the portals, but now I’m thinking Hori is making a point of having many heroes (especially side characters) having the biggest impact WITHOUT their quirks.

AFO’s anger at Nagant gives Shigaraki an opening to emerge out of AFO, shedding AFO like a skin. I really like that Shigaraki got one over on AFO, keeping a hold on “himself” and his “origin” to assert his autonomy. It’s not just Deku rescuing him, it’s him trying his best to help himself.

[John Mulaney voice] Now we don’t have time to unpack that origin! But we need to, because Shigaraki still wants to destroy “everything to do with” the house that denied him, even though the house and all the people in it are long gone. He says his heart won’t surrender, just like how Nagant and Gentle didn’t surrender? Meaning how they…became the heroes they always wanted to be??? I’m very curious to see the official English translation on these lines!

Deku won’t let Shigaraki destroy “everything”, but also won’t ignore the crying Tenko so HE REMOVES SHIGARAKI FROM THE “COFFIN” AND LETS HIM TOUCH THE GROUND!!!! Emerging from the crypt! Back from the dead! Reborn!

We keep hearing how Erasure is not working but we didn’t see Monoma close his eyes. And in any event, either he or Aizawa could escape the Twices. Then again, keeping with the theme of heroes not necessarily using their quirks to win, Monoma and Aizawa could pop up with a different way to help Deku, Katsuki, or Shigaraki.

Kurogiri glitches as AFO orders a portal like it’s an Uber. Kurogiri wants to “protect Shigaraki” but also Shirakumo emerges to say a few words. I LOVE Shigaraki and Shirakumo both emerging from AFO’s distortions at the same time. I can’t imagine AFO will react to this well. Plus we’re assuming nobody will explode….

I like Gentle and Mirio both being confused by Deku. They love this kid, they’re inspired by him, but they also think he’s got a screw loose. Oooh, and they both played a key role in the School Festival arc, so it’s cool they’re sharing some screen time.
