#chapter 413

[zestirial]

Okay, now let's all get on the same page. Izuku has never been without a birth alter, that's impossible.

I elaborate, in chapter 410 All for one dies, which means that all the alters he'd stolen so far are returned to their owners, dead or alive.

Now, right after that, his hair is turning white, for no good reason.

Because if we follow the famous "he doesn't have an alter" reasoning, this color change is just a mistake by Horikoshi. But it isn't ;)

In chapter 413, the owners of the One for All decide that Izuku must give the One for All to shigaraki so that they can beat him from the inside.

Because it's impossible for Izuku to beat him physically.

But let's agree, Izuku is definitely dead if he passes the Ofa. By the time they react after the transfer, enlarge the breach and do their thing. Shigaraki will have had all the time he needs to destroy everything. With deku left with NO defense.

So I sincerely believe that his stolen alter will save him when the One for All no longer belongs to him.

Because there's no way he'll survive without an alter against shigaraki, who'll have the two most powerful alters. Knowing that even with the One for All it wasn't a foregone conclusion 🧍‍♀️

very rough very quick clean up and colour of that one panel from ch 413

[zestirial]

Okay, don't make me crazy. Is izuku's hair really turning white?!

HAIR GROWTH ???

I don't especially want to be mean, but I get the impression that when it doesn't concern Bakugo, nobody cares??!

Izuku is fighting a guy stronger than All for one and nobody cares 😭

The only time I saw from chapter 412 was just to talk about Kudo mentioning the relationship between Bakugo and Izuku. Everyone was kicking themselves about the chapter. It's a shame and hurtful...

[dekusleftsock]

Yada yada, kudou looked through Izuku’s memories and saw big gay thoughts, but we already knew they were gay. Of course they were gay. They’ve always been gay.

YOU KNOW WHAT I WANNA TALK ABOUT? THIS OFA QUIRKLESS THING!

It’s so FASCINATING! And I know I’m late to the party (school, work, life, depression, art block, the list could go on) but all I can think about is the trust that this entire situation holds.

On one hand, Izuku has to trust Kudou and his abilities. Defeating him from the inside out is probably the only way Izuku will win at this point.

And on the other hand, Izuku in his own way, is having to trust shigaraki, something he hasn’t done nor even considered before. He sees that little boy inside of him, but there’s more to that little boy. The man that stands before him, broken and beaten and shattered emotionally by society, is a person too. It truly doesn’t matter that the boy exists; yes it’s a way for Izuku to understand that concept of “heroes and villains are cut from the same cloth”, but it’s also the understanding that even when someone has fucked up their life, still deserves to be treated as a person for doing so. Everyone, EVERYONE, deserves the right to be and feel like a real and alive human being.

To me, it’s in the same vain as Izuku as a little boy. We could go over he details ALL DAY as to how he became the person he is, what could’ve been different, what could’ve happened. But at the end of the day, the only thing that changes the past is how we view it; Katsuki knows this.

There’s a part of me that whenever I see a fanfic where Katsuki meets his old middle school self that he hates him, wants to kick him down, humble him, whatever other verb here:

But that small part of me always thinks that it’s… oddly out of character.

Okay, comparing Katsuki and Izuku, who is more ashamed of their pasts?

If you guessed Izuku (and you agree with me), tell me what exactly inclines you to think that?

Because the difference between them is who accepts themself, and who doesn’t.

Accepting yourself doesn’t just mean, accepting that you were a bad person but you’re better now so it’s okay. No, I think that’s actually more complex than implied.

In my opinion, seeing your past actions as something to forgive is important too. Katsuki meeting his middle school self may seem like an aggressive cat fight in idea, but it practice may turn into high school Katsuki being unaffected by middle school him. He knows why he thought what he did, understands that it was bad, but also understands why that mindset came to be. He can be sorry to Izuku AND sorry to himself.

Izuku I think feels a sense of shame for his middle school self, especially that weakness. He cried more in middle school too; he didn’t try. That’s what he’s most mad about and unable to forgive himself for, he didn’t try.

And to an extent, Izuku has to learn that his perception of his past is what matters most: Shigaraki is the same.

Shigaraki as a little boy could’ve lived better circumstances. He could’ve found a hero and been saved. He could’ve had this or that or made a better decision. And I think a small part of him feels guilty for it. Shigaraki also doesn’t accept his past.

Ofa being taken away, as saddening as it may seem to fans, was always an ending I was hoping for. Of course I could be wrong and by the end of the manga he still has it, and while I’d still be happy with that ending… I just really want Izuku to let himself be a human being. A flawed one, with things he could or could not change, and accepting that fact.

After all, “You’re still human.” Right?

And sorry to bring up the girls again, but part of the key components to saving Himiko were trusting her, and not clinging to a small part of her. She wanted to see and know Himiko as she is, not who she was.

That’s this dudes problem; even if he wants to tear that rug to pieces, there’s certain ideas that hold him back. Think, the idea that your emotions matter less over others, or hating yourself for flaws that nearly every human being has.

Izuku saving Shigaraki has always always always been about saving himself too, and I love that.

Izuku had to trust Katsuki in this battle, trust allmight, trust Ochako, trust people. He had to let them take the wheel, the burden. Maybe he and Shigaraki can lift that burden for themselves too. His mask is broken, he’s become a monster blackwhip thing…

What’s your move Izuku?

colored that one sick panel from MHA chapter 413

I’m not very good at coloring stuff so this is how I practice until I get good enough at it. Haha! I also made one version darker then the other. I also meant to do one that isn’t based around the DFO theory but I accidentally put some things on the same layer so I can’t do that unless I want to redo the whole thing. :(

This panel is going to haunt me for DAYS

[pttucker]

– Are you 'Kim Dokja' from the future? Some time ago, Yoo Joonghyuk had asked that question to a certain someone. He asked that because he initially thought that only Kim Dokja knew of the story extending as far as to the 1863rd regression turn. However, now he thought back to that moment, he realized how stupid that question was. A being who knew all the stories right up until the 1863rd turn. A being who understood a story the best was not the 'reader' who had read it, but the 'character' that actually lived through that very story.

I KNEW IT!!!!

Secretive Plotter is FREAKING JOONGHYUK!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Okay, but he can't be from the original TWSA worldline because I swear that Joonghyuk's sponsor, who I think is Oldest Dream, is Dokja. So he has to be from this future, right? Because this worldline has Dokja and TWSA doesn't.

Not to mention Secretive Plotter so hardcore knows Dokja and has from the very beginning. Which is what made me originally suspicious of him waaaay back in the sub-100 chapters.

That or there's actually multiple worldlines that do have Kim Dokja just like there's multiple worldlines that don't.

I just keep coming back to the fact that when Dokja went into the Library he saw versions of TWSA that he didn't remember and I'm not certain if that's because Oldest Dream is him and is adding to his Library without him knowing it or if it's because Dokja as the reader is connected to multiple worldlines and so he's able to unconsciously connect to the worldline that Oldest Dream came from (and maybe vice versa) and thus the books end up in one singular Library.

Which basically boils down to the same thing at the end of the day, but is slightly different in the question of: is this our future Joonghyuk who knows our future Dokja or a different future Joonghyuk who knows a different future Dokja?
