"Too Much to Handle" (1/1)

Shigaraki steals Kacchan Arcanine from Izuku and brings it back to the Boss of Team League. All for One and Doctor Persian are...unimpressed.

mha pokemon continues I guess 😅

[liluchunnies]

The doomed yaoi and yuri goes hard gang

No because garaki's was a legit love confession what the flip and stain with all might?? A whole proposal

[poppy5991]

Dabi: I want to kill heroes.

Toga: I want to kill heroes.

Shigaraki: I want to kill heroes.

Garaki: I want to conduct unethical medical experiments on children.

Garaki: Oh what? This is suddenly not a safe space??

PSA To My Hero Academia fans on RedNote/ Xiaohongshu!

I've seen a lot of people going to Xiaohongshu! That's great! However I think this is something you should know (;´∀`)･･ｧﾊﾊﾊ･･

My Hero Academia is the only anime that is a major taboo! As a long term MHA fan it saddens me greatly - but it offends the Chinese people so don't post anything My Hero Academia related!

They're very lenient with foreigners fortunately, but there have been cases of death threats and harassment to a couple MHA posters. It's essentially banned/blacklisted (socially at least)

I've seen people asking, but so far it's an MHA only type thing - no other anime (to my knowledge) has this type of resentment.

It's not an"oh this anime is cringy" type hate. It's a deep seated resentment - because of Dr. Garaki.

So for those that don't know, way back in late 2019/early 2020, there was this whole catastrophe regarding Horikoshi-sensei's naming of him. His original name was "Maruta Shiga". Many saw this as an ode to the WWII experimentation on Chinese citizens by the imperialist Japanese army and unit 731, and seeing that he's a doctor who experiments on people (to make Nomu)... This wasn't taken well

The Chinese saw it as him pretty much spitting on their history, and saw it as a mockery of their patriotism. Therefore, My Hero Academia as a whole is extraordinarily offensive on any Chinese platform in general

However this was entirely a mistake on Horikoshi's side. As we all know, he likes to have fun with his names and names his characters by appearance, power, or behavior. "Maruta" was meant to portray the Doctor's roundness (as Horikoshi said, "he's a short, portly man"), but it was also the Japanese word for "log" - which many saw as a reference to Unit 731 (many many trigger warnings for those who look into that. It's horrific). "Shiga" was chosen simply because it was similar to Shigaraki's name. It was an unfortunate combination.

Horikoshi didn't intend for it to be such an insensitive reference and immediately changed the doctor's name to Garaki within a week on all digital copies. He's apologized as well, but still to this day My Hero is a big taboo (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)

I'm very sorry to my My Hero Academia friends! But I ask of you to keep it invisible on Chinese platforms like Xiaohongshu - just save it for other places like here, okay?

Some people still say it's not the same person.

I'll give you some bleach to clear your eyesight you'll see....😮‍💨

I'm not even going to point out that "both" work in a hospital and have the same voice 🙄

Went back through the manga and found these panels mentioning Chisaki’s quirk. It’s interesting that, the quirk, Overhaul is mentioned as the ability to dismantle and restore....

Seems highly plausible that AFO and Garaki used his quirk to make Shigaraki's Decay. If so, Garaki probably performed experiments on Chisaki in the same nature as the ones Chisaki subjected Eri to…

It could explain Chisaki's lack of empathy towards Eri, and his extensive knowledge on quirk research, to the point of being able to create quirk-erasing bullets from Eri’s Rewind.

This scene lives rent free in my head 🫣

Also I wonder why Nine is nude inside that tank but Shigaraki was using a swimsuit in the same situation:

Ujiko is such a naughty bastard lol.

[mymhameme]

That's a new record! He got sent home after six minutes.

[autumnmobile12]

I’m suddenly very concerned about where Dr. Garaki’s notes and scientific journals are. He thought his Jaku City lab was well hidden, and went to great lengths to keep it hidden to the point even his own allies didn’t know where it was, so he probably kept his notes on all his experiments there.

So they were either confiscated by the heroes after the raid or completely destroyed after Shigaraki’s attack.

Personally, the latter is more likely to me because the alternative is they fell into the heroes' hands and I am not confident any government body would destroy ‘invaluable research’ on Quirks and the potential creation of super soldiers.

…

Pro Shouto: There’s been a rise in criminal activity lately and some of the Pros dispatched to deal with it are…wrong. Wrong in that there’s something off about them. I don’t know what it is, but they remind me of Nomu and I know that’s impossible because Garaki has been jailed for years. He can’t be behind this.

Dabi: *still imprisoned, still somehow alive* What happened to the good doctor’s notes, I wonder?

Pro Shouto: Confiscated. Destroyed.

Dabi: You sure? You burn them yourself?

Pro Shouto: …

Dabi: Why the silence, Shou? Is the society you fought for not to your liking?

Pro Shouto: I have to go.

Dabi: Come again soon. It’s fun to watch you squirm.

Pro Shouto: *to the attendant* My brother is ready to go back to sleep.

Dabi: Yes, back to dreaming with me. It’s nicer there, you know. So nice…

[blackberrylight1]

I think we all wonder about that, Dabi

[hotpotatopotat]

The moment AFO and the Doctor realize that their perfect plan, Tomura Shigaraki, is prone to temper tantrums... 😅

[doodletheexpoodle]

Its just a shame some questions I have will probably go unanswered when My Hero Academia ends

"Why did you drop us something so surprising but nothing else on it??"

Whats up with Dr. Garaki being Deku's childhood doctor???

Did he somehow take Midoriya's quirk? Is he actually the kid above's grandpa? Why did he turn his own grandchild into a Nomu?? Gah it was killed off so quickly and easily thoooough

And don't get me started about the BS explanation why Midoriya doesn't have a quirk that always bugged me so bad lol thatd be hilarious if it was true though

[poppy5991]

Dabi: You should lose your medical license.

Garaki: Bold of you to assume I have one.

Okay, let’s take a look at some of the STARWARS references that convince me that Afo and Izuku are related and most likely father and son.

Afo and Anakin(Darth Vader) before their injury say almost exactly the same thing.

The battle which left them injured by the teacher of the protagonist who plays their part later on in the story.

Musutafu is a reference to Mustafar, the place where the fight of Anakin and obi wan took place. Musutafu is also the place where all might fought afo for the third time, where the war is currently taking place since ua is in Musutafu and where Izuku’s apartment is. We still don’t know where all might’s and afo’s first battle took place but it’s a possibility it did there.

Their bodies were stolen, saved, and given their mask so they could breathe.

There's a picture of a padme flower in the apartment. Padme was Anakin's wife.

If we consider the Star Wars storyline the reveal is what follows. Afo better reach Deku.

[huiiiooo]

It is interesting to think that Garaki had a family under the name Tsubasa, and that he served in Musutafu as Dr. Tsubasa Coincidentally, he was the one who diagnosed Izuku as Quirkless and to this day this is the only legitimate medical action that the manga has shown of him, which is strange, since he is All for One's personal doctor, it is strange that he diagnosed the Protagonist and this fact is of no importance, and the only direct mention of Hisashi Midoriya is coincidentally to him

and his family, his children and his grandchildren lived close to the Midoriyas and Inko presumably knew Tsubasa Kun's Mother

If their families knew each other it would make sense that Inko would have specifically gone to consult Izuku at Doctor Tsubasa, we don't know why someone like Garaki would be in this region, but he seems to be the type that everything he does is in one way or another focused on All for one , so who knows it wasn't All for one who ordered him and his family to be in that region specifically, both using false identities of Hisashi Midoriya and Dr. Tsubasa especially, a curious detail is that looking at Tsubasa Ku's age he became Nomu on a date not a long way from when AFO became potatoes
