#heroes rising movie

[darkcircles4lyfe]

Bringing this back as it’s relevant to movie characters appearing in chapter 384, and I want to add: the amnesia thing is a deliberate move to erase the movie’s relevance to major plot points and character development in the manga, I think this is also the case in the scene in Heroes Rising where All Might explains why OfA went back to Izuku. He said the transfer wasn’t fully completed, before OfA made a conscious decision to stay put in its current user.

This means that Katsuki can’t be considered a previous user of OfA; we could say instead that he held on to a part of it, briefly. I’m not gonna try to argue that the movies aren’t canon, the are, or at least they can be. But I am going point at the obvious strategic writing choices that were made to keep them separate. It was a little sloppily done imo, so they’re really showing their hand. They might as well have broken the 4th wall and said “oh by the way, don’t worry, these specific events won’t ever come up again!” directly to the audience. Regardless of any character cameos, this remains the case.

But it’s a good thing. Since Horikoshi has still chucked Heroes Rising into the plot void, it means he is free to write an entirely new climax for the story in the manga. There may be some thematic similarities, although it will hopefully be bigger and better. After all, he said (paraphrasing) that watching the movie moved him to tears and inspired him deeply. We have already seen Katsuki’s epiphany (at least begin to) happen in a completely different way, when Shigaraki referred to him as the closest person to Izuku. It’s not as straightforward this time though, as it also comes along with Katsuki being beaten down and told he’s nothing compared to OfA. That’s a really compelling change that could go much deeper into layers of angst than the movie.

So, anyway, with past OfA transfer off the table, we are still left to wonder what this means:

The explanation could end up being similar to Izuku and Katsuki sharing OfA in Heroes Rising, but I want to remind y’all that the possibility is still very much open for an exciting reveal that we haven’t even imagined yet.

This isn’t gonna be a very in-depth because I don’t really have time at the moment, but I keep thinking about Heroes Rising in relation to the actual end of of the manga. I mean, don’t we all. But specifically, I’m thinking about the fact that Katsuki had to have convenient amnesia in order to keep it from interfering with the main story. Most notably, Izuku is allowed to remember sharing One for All with Katsuki, but not vice versa. Katsuki remembering and processing what happened is the ONLY bit of character development in Heroes Rising that was significant enough to explicitly undo. Why? It must be that whatever epiphany Katsuki had in this moment-

-would have fundamentally changed their relationship. ^This face doesn’t just represent Katsuki realizing what Izuku intends to do, but also something deeper. I imagine the epiphany Katsuki had was something along the lines of, “holy shit, he’s actually choosing me.” He’s choosing him to carry on the torch of OfA, and more importantly he’s been choosing him as a person all along, regardless of their current status as competitive equals. The thing is, Katsuki already knew that Izuku is self-sacrificing and doesn’t think twice about risking his life. But there’s a huge difference between dying as a hero in an act of sacrifice, which in this society is basically normalized, and the sacrifice of becoming quirkless again and living on without fulfilling a lifelong dream. For Izuku to not only accept that, but to be okay with the person who once bullied him for being quirkless taking his dream away from him, it confirms something Katsuki wouldn’t dare to hope: that their relationship is not just a rivalry, and Izuku values their shared closeness far beyond what their training can do for his progress. Yes, Izuku wants to be the greatest hero just like Katsuki, and they feed off each other’s competitive energy, but (and idk if this is a hot take) their rivalry only exists because Katsuki put it there. Izuku goes along with it because he’ll take any excuse to keep Katsuki in his life.

If Katsuki remembered all of this, he would never have said in his apology that he doesn’t expect anything to change between them, because he would know that Izuku’s feelings toward him are completely unconditional. Their rivalry would be a moot point, leaving them to figure out why else they’re still obsessed with each other. Which brings me to the fact that Katsuki’s apology remains unanswered. We’ve all been wondering when Izuku will finally be shown confirming that yes, he does want things to change between them. And now I think the reason it didn’t happen in some quiet corner before the second war started is because it’s just too monumental. It’ll be something that, just like in Heroes Rising, Katsuki realizes through some grand dramatic moment. It’s the moment they cease to be rivals, and truly become two halves of a whole.

Heroes Rising

After watching the 4th movie today these clips just hit so much harder 😭😭

[turtleblogatlast]

Something I really like is that April’s constant stream of odd jobs she goes through is somewhat reflected in the boys as well. Like, you have April working at random pizza places or getting a crane license or being fully willing to apply for a job at a place clearly made out of cardboard. Then you have the boys as well who do anything from working as a basketball mascot, building a massive dog park, being waiters, getting a whole band gig at a theme park, etc, etc-

Main difference is that April actively applies for these jobs (and is hopefully paid for the short time she’s in them) whereas for the bros the jobs usually find them (and they practically never get paid.) It doesn’t even stop at jobs either, they just seem to casually amass skills in general.

I don’t know, I like how both April and the turtles are just so ready and willing to do things. Sure, they’re not always good at these things, but they do them readily! In a way, being heroes is just another job (well, more like volunteer work/vigilantism/another fun activity) that they initially took on because of their general sense of “why not?”

They’re very willing and open to trying out new things despite their tendency to revert back to what they enjoy (and how commonly trying new things ends up going wrong), and I think that adaptational interest of theirs really helps them be well rounded in multiple regards.

Sketch for the announcement of Heroes Rising

FINISHED WATCHING MHA MOVIE 2: HEROES RISING!!! SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED IT

OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD YO HOLY FUCK I LOVE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAA

This was truly My Bakudeku Academia. Watching that final battle felt like a religious experience- as if I was watching the birth of Christ. Holy fuck if that really was the original ending, with Deku passing OFA to Kacchan, and the whole "Oh it actually stayed with Deku and Bkg got amnesia" didn't happen, this would have been a dramatically different story moving forward.

Horikoshi really loves Bakugou- like absolutely no question. The story following this kind of ending would be about him continuing OFA's legacy with the guilt of a thousand suns on his shoulders for "taking away" Izuku's dream. Izuku would have continued the hero course as an actual quirkless student. I would love to see aus of this being canon and continuing their story from there.

I'm guessing Nine here was supposed to be AFO, and he would basically be gone too. Katsuma is perfectly set up to be the next protagonist (I can already imagine him using Cell Regeneration as Super Regeneration- he could become invincible while also healing others. Incredibly amazing quirk).

NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT I HAD WAS ADDRESSED. THE REST OF THE CLASS ACTUALLY DO FEEL STRONG AND USEFUL AND EVERYTHING AS SHIT I LOVE IT AAAAAAAA

YES MY GIRL OCHAKO FINALLY HAS HER BIG MOMENT FLOATING SO MUCH DEBRIS!!! I'M SO HAPPY- EVEN JIRO, AOYAMA, SHOJI, TOKOYAMI AND MORE HAD LEGIT GOOD SCENES AND FIGHTS I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH THEY ARE SOOO COOLLLLL THEY GENUINELY GAVE IT THEIR ALL FUCK YEAHHHHH

(note. THAT WOLF GUY CALLED SHOJI UGLY- A FELLOW HETEROMORPH, CUS HE WAS PROJECTING HIS "MONSTER" ISSUES ON HIM HOW FUCKING DARE YOUUUUU)

THEY ALSO MAKE IT ACTUALLY MAKE MORE SENSE HOW THE WHOLE CLASS IS SEPARATED ON AN ISLAND TOGETHER AS A WHOLE CLASS THIS TIME TOO (and not just half like last movie). They even managed to tie it in to AFO, the LoV, and Hero Society. Like it actually feels more grounded and reasonable why the class would be here alone with supervision.

They even add hints of Touya Todoroki with him having a short battle with Endeavor, Hawks spying in the LoV, the HSPC head cameo, and other little things too. Man I loved this fucking movie I would watch it 10 more times right now.

One of the absolute best things about the bros is that they just. Play. They play around like the teens they are, playing ball, or video games, or anything else. They just play and have fun together, genuinely enjoying each other’s company. I dunno, I just appreciate how easy it is for them to mess around and be kids.

watching deku give katsuki one for all in heroes rising will never not be legendary
