The recent amajiki stuff makes me kinda sad that ochako was in the Designated Girl group with Nejire and not with the guy who actually has a surprising amount to bring to the table, and especially to her own arcs. Like, a lot of what comes up with him during the raid is stuff that’s very resonant with Uraraka’s own “who watches the watchmen saves the heroes” stuff and Toga’s “external pressures from expectations when help is what should be given instead” stuff.
You know what, you're absolutely right.
In the Overhaul Arc, Kirishima and Amajiki gained more confidence in themselves from Fatgum. Nighteye crafted Mirio into the hero he was up until this point. Izuku obtained new insecurities he couldn't previously fathom from working with Nighteye and Mirio.
What did Ochako gain from being in the same team as Ryukyu and Nejire in this arc? With her internship with Gunhead, Ochako gained more experience in close combat. But Ochako and Asui don't seem to learn anything crucial from Ryukyu the way the other UA students did from their mentors in this arc.
Ochako has no meaningful interactions or parallels with Nejire either. Nejire has more in common with Izuku, Bakugou, or Shouto than she does with Ochako. Her similarities with Shouto and Bakugou come down to people treating her as unapproachable because of her powerful quirk. She is also similar to Izuku in that both have an off-putting amount of interest in other people's quirks.
Ochako has more in common with Amajiki or Mirio than Nejire. Ochako and Mirio both have a similar simple, genki demeanor. They both had something to overcome (poverty versus a difficult quirk), but otherwise grew up fitting neatly within the lines of society's expectations. Amajiki and Ochako as you said have some similar philosophies on heroics in that heroes should also be saved and not all villains are beyond salvation.
But it doesn't seem like that much thought was put into it and Ochako and Nejire were just put in the designated girl group.

How about 5 headcanons for an AU where All Might can't pass on One for All unless all the vestiges agree? They are super-picky and have been preventing him from finding a successor for decades. It gets harder to get a unanimous vote with each new ghost added. Instead of clearing a beach, Izuku must win each vestige's approval to succeed All Might. Thank you!
*finger guns*
On it boss!
Let's make it clear that the choice for the next Successor is only taking so long because the Vestiges now have time. They have time to choose. Before it was so fast. They had to choose fast because the Users dropped dead far too fast. Shinomori, Banjou, and En's decisions were all unamionous agreement so quickly because their current holder was dying and they have to pass down the Light that may defeat AFO. With Nana and Yagi, they had time to choose. And boy oh boy they were using the time with Yagi to fucking choose.
Sir Nighteye here I feel like would be so frustrated over the fact that every single one of the Past Users have to agree. He is trying so hard to find a perfect successor for not only All Might but also the past users. The reason why Mirio was rejected was due to how Third and Second felt like he wouldn’t have the determination to truly push through all the boundaries to do the right thing.
When Yagi chose Izuku as his successor, he had to go and disclose to him that he must not only win the approval of Yagi but all then past users of OFA. You got to rizz them up Izuku. You got to win their approval so that OFA won’t just simply be “Unfortunate. You just swallowed hair.” Izuku still needs to clean up the garbage in the Beach though. Still got to get in shape and rizz Yagi after all.
Do want to say that all users have a different reason why they don’t believe Izuku is the right successor. En I always headcanon to have been the youngest OFA user before Izuku and when he got OFA that messed him up bad mentally. Do not have a kid be the next user that will ruin him. I don’t have everyone’s reasons but I do believe that Second would still have the doubt that Izuku wouldn’t be able to go through with the convictions and may be too soft.
Izuku basically goes through a history lesson and workout with this. He is learning about the world and what the past users went through and trying to empathize with them. Early past OFA user meet is always something I love.

ok I’m curious… what did Yoshiyama Yuu tweet
I linked the tweet. Even if google translate isn't 100% reliable, it gives you the gist idea of what she said.
But basically she directed the henshin and suggested on doing something and was told no, "because it was too bold" or something like that.
Fandom seems to think it's the subtle kiss that got added due to it :D

Let's talk about the clock keepers in the new chapter!!
It's not a surprise to see that they had more in their sleeves, putting up an act to get all the information they wanted. Kako said it after all, he is the one observing. And he will gather what he needs before making a move, showing he deserves his title as the oldest supernatural. Hanako being the leader doesn’t seem to matter a lot to him in the end. He clearly has had his plan for a long time. It's not a shock to see he recognizes what came back with Tsukasa from the red house, probably knowing the entity from before.
Even if it was an act and all of them knew what the end result would be. The reactions Akane and Mirai had for each other in the last chapter were real. Akane was never shield in the manga, being the one doing it most of the time. So his reaction towards Mirai taking the blow for him is absolutely genuine, especially when he tried so hard to make her run away. And we can see it again when we see how slowly he takes her out of the water to give her back to Kako. Akane even reprimands the old man about being slow and Mirai having to go through this at first.
This chapter highlights the clock keepers relationship too. Akane has been before in the innermost reach, he clearly knows what he is doing here, entering the house like nothing and actually setting things up for tea knowing Kako would like it. Being considered as a whole clock keeper, Kako and Mirai trust him not to do anything bad even in their most vulnerable state.
Kako watches over Mirai like a worried father, being happy when she is back and is still pushing Akane to find the answers himself, always in a teaching position. Akane is quick to scold Mirai about her actions, clearly seeing her more as a kid than a real supernatural being. He is seen worried for her and tells her right away not to do something like this ever again. On her side, Mirai is overjoyed to see Akane, the first question coming out of her mouth asking if he is hurt, and she seems rather shocked to see him being so worried about her, jumping on his head right away to praise him for being a nice boy.
They are way more genuine in their physical contact and actions. Akane is not refusing Kako’s headpat even though he has an angry/solemn expression when accepting it, the old man is smiling at Mirai and Akane the whole chapter while Mirai is being her usual clingy self.
Kako clearly has been observing things and waited until the right moment to take actions. They are coming back in time to fix things up, and will sleep until the new present is stable. And for this they trust the clock keeper of the present to take care of the duty that was placed upon him.
Akane is a wonderful pick for the present. His personality and way of life has always shown he was the only character who would be able to handle this role. He is a duty centered and really proactive boy, and most of all, sees how life is worth living. Even if he never feared the idea of getting hurt, we can clearly see how much he takes his role at heart. He now knows he has to live if the idea of a better present can exist.
Kako knows Akane is able to handle all of it which is why they can leave without being worried about the new present, they absolutely believe Akane will be able to fulfill his duty. In the end, it’s Akane who keeps the yorishiro with him. They trust him to make sure everything is in order and not die until he can use the key to get them out of the clock once they awaken. Kako’s last word to Akane is once again one with a teaching tone, praising him for a job he will do, showing he thinks he will handle it.
One of Kako’s strongest traits is observation too. And Akane is really good at that, he is one of the most observant and perceptive characters of the whole cast. His mission will be all about seeing if the events really changed, acting like a memory of a present which doesn’t exist anymore. Having a human among the clock keepers to have eyes in the human world seems also like a logical choice. To know the whole situation Kako needs eyes in the human realm too, and Akane shares his informations with him when he think it's important.
Akane has known his role for a long time. Once he heard that he had his duty to do, his expression is hard to see because he KNOWS what the implications are. He is aware of what it means, he isn’t happy with this, he clenches the yorishiro once he has it, he says he doesn’t have a choice to Teru. Because even if Akane complains, he does things he is asked to do.
Akane’s sense of justice has always been a big part of his character, and it’s also a big part of the clock keepers. Of course he wants the present to be better and goes with the clock keepers’ idea, erasing a problem at its root to help the majority of people and protect the persons he cares for is something Akane would never refuse.
He has no problem doing it even if he doesn’t want to be on the clock keepers’ side, because he knows he can do something ‘right’. He still trusts Kako on this one, embracing his role as the guardian of the present fully. The old man did say it would be good for humans after all.
How long has Akane been thinking about changing the present? Even if it means erasing the severance I don’t know how he would react seeing that Aoi never lived it. Having a world where she never got to know supernaturals, never was left dead all alone on the far shore and never got her hand hurt. It can’t be so bad right?
But the more I think about it the more I go ‘was this present really THAT bad?’ Aoi has to go through her horrible everyday life once again, thinking that no one will ever love her for who she is and Akane definitely doesn't want that.
His talk to Teru also implies that Teru and Nene may remember since they were stopped by his time power. He trusts Teru to understand what is happening and help him with this new reality or hoping not everything will have changed.
If we focus quickly on Amane and Tsuchigomori. They seem to have go back in 1968 so Amane was a middle schooler. Tsuchigomori and him had the talk about the moon in 1969 (after the 20th of July) so Tsuchi may not have the same yorishiro either. Would Amane live this time? Not sure, the reason he was trying to destroy the big clock may be related to the clock keepers going back in Time. I wonder what the clock Amane was working on really represents.
We can see this clock indicating the hour exactly like when Akane is stopping time, suggesting that it is really the one controlling the whole school time. It’s the first clock we see when the clock keepers are introduced too.
If Kako and Mirai really go back in time and erase everything they are visualizing on this. It would indeed mean a better control over the mysteries situations and the protection of the Land.
It means everything the mysteries went through won't happen. So the second Mitsuba won't exist, n°3 would still be here, Yako would still be waiting for Misaki to come back and won't go berserk, Shijima-san would still be in her boundary thinking she has no reason to exist expect hurting Mei-chan's memory, Hakubo would still be doing his duty without feeling anything and Sumire would still be living her death over and over again, not having anyone go see her in more than a century.
It means erasing all of the mysteries’ struggles and acceptance of what they are, not being bound by grief and regrets to do a job most of them didn't want to do. Would this present really be a good one? For the humans mostly it would be, it's the mysteries duties after all, and n°1 is ready to undo all the things each mystery went through to make sure humans have a good Present. They always have been more about humans than supernaturals. And this may also be the reason why Akane is okay with everything going on too. Kako sees this as his ultimate duty in the end, forcing all mysteries to embrace it even if they don't want to. Taking the matter at end without warning anyone since after all, no one will remember.
Another thing that has always been interesting to me, was the fact that the clock keepers look nothing like something out of Japanese Myths/folklore. It has always been strange to me to see they were labeled as the oldest supernaturals, when clocks weren’t that common in Japan before a long time. The way they dress look way different compared to anyone else from the cast too. The closest look you could find was from the Meiji Era, which was mostly about Japan importing a lot of Western culture into their Land. I always thought that the clock keepers just couldn’t be from a Japanese folktale and this was confirmed in the last chapter. I had my supposition about where they were from, but having an actual image of their old town helped me to focus more on it.
If we look at Clock making history we can easily focus on some countries, The Netherlands, Germany and England being the main ones. Now if we look at the architecture we get in this chapter, we can delete England from the list easily. This type of house is called Timbered framed houses. It can be found in Europe in different countries.
It’s important to note that the roofs on those houses are really really sharp on the illustration AidaIro gave us. Which means they were built for snow, so it can slide off the roofs more easily. The trees in the background are too blurry to see but it looks like forest of pines and the kids shown are holding one.
Now if I combine the two ideas of clock making and architecture I found here, my thoughts came to one city. Nuremberg in Germany. It’s a city known for its clock making history, there are mountains nearby and there is snow in this region during Winter. And more importantly The Nuremberg Egg.
It’s known as the ancestor of the pocket watch, created in the XVIth century.
I don’t think AidaIro was inspired by a precise place but I think somewhere in this region of Europe could be a good pick for the inspiration of the city the clock keepers are from! Same can be said about the clothes the kids are wearing and the toy's shop which have vibes from this region too.
I’ve been thinking a bit more about what Kako and Mirai are really and it’s hard to say. With how Akane introduced them it could imply they were humans before.
Why did they move to Japan and how did they become supernatural? Were they created or were they humans before? The idea of Kako creating a body to survive and creating Mirai is not out of the way since he is clearly the oldest and more experienced supernatural there is. A lot of questions with no answers for now but I am happy we get some glimpse of their old life.
I am also interested in the clock keeper of the present status too. Are they used to create different presents or if the present is fixed their role is finished? Did Kako and Mirai go back in time to change stuff before?
I don't think it happened recently. Nothing special has been happening at Kamome even with the whole Yugi suicide/murder history. The real problems started really once Nene met Hanako and Tsukasa woke up. Kako may have been observing things since a really long time, maybe putting some students as clock keepers of the present but never ‘activating’ their real role. Which may also be why Akane never was shown that stressed out about his role as a clock keeper, why would he be if all the previous clock keepers of the present never had to do this? What is supposed to happen to them once they have fulfilled their duty? Are they erased from the timeline to represent completely this new Present? Do they get to continue their life like nothing happens, being the only person having the memories of a world which doesn't exist anymore? How long do they stay alone until the other two wake up? Why insist so much on the idea he has to stay alive? So many questions I hope we will have answers on soon.
The story of the clock keepers is still really blurry but we are slowly getting more on them . AidaIro really showed us that they were mysteries the other characters shouldn't mess with and I am all for it.

From your last response post, you mentioned how Todoroki telling Midoriya to not butt in could be flaw in todoroki’s philosophy about getting involved and while I do agree I also think he was right in telling Midoriya about it being a delicate situation. Midoriya tends to rush into things without a plan sometimes, and that was a point Sir Nighteye tried to make but I’m not sure if it stuck around. Though it’s an interesting situation since Todoroki himself lost a parent (for a decade) because of his father’s heroism.
Yes and no.
Let's go with order. For start, to help others follow the discussion I'll say the post you're referring is this one.
Now... I don't think Shouto telling Midoriya he shouldn't butt in is a flaw to Shouto's phylosophy, I think that's the typical mindsetting Japanese people are educated to have.
Todoroki Shōto ‘Omae ga soitsu o dōshitee no ka shiranēkedo, DELICATE na hanashi ni anma ZUKEZUKE kubi tsukkomu no mo ARE da zo. Sō iu no ki ni sezu bukkowashite kurukarana, omae igaito.’ 轟焦凍「お前がそいつをどうしてえのか知らねえけど、デリケートな話にあんまズケズケ首突っ込むのもアレだぞ。そういうの気にせずぶっ壊してくるからな、お前意外と。」 Todoroki Shōto “I don't know what you want to do with him, but sticking your head into sensitive matters like that is a bit weird. You're surprisingly good at not worrying about that and just breaking through it.”
In the anime it's shown Shouto is talking about how Midoriya told him that his fire Quirk was also his power, which is the sentence that basically saved Shouto.
Yet Midoriya shouldn't have done it. It's not just because ultimately it lead Midoriya to lose but because Midoriya shouldn't have butt in.
You don't butt in into other people's business, is very rude... and by extension this applies also to things like domestic disputes in which the husband beats the wife or his children, which are considered private family business in whcih one shouldn't butt in, or kids of five wandering alone on the streets.
No, I'm not exaggerating, in the past people turned their eyes away from abuse BECAUSE IT WAS RUDE TO NOSE INTO ANOTHER FAMILY'S BUSINESS.
We might agree or disagree as we come from different cultures but this is what Shouto was taught, that he shouldn't nose into other people's business and that people wouldn't nose into his own. That they're all 'delicate situations'.
So his warning to Midoriya is basic social behaviour, Midoriya shouldn't butt in, the situation is delicate he shouldn't intrude, it's not his place to act.
The story however goes against this basicl rule of social behaviour, claiming a Hero is someone who's always ready to help even when it's not asked for...
...and uses Midoriya as the symbol of all this right from the start, when Midoriya jumps in to save Bakugou.
Note how Midoriya will be scolded for it, with good reasons I might add as he had no chance to save Bakugou and only risked to get himself in troubles.
However All Might will praise him instead, claiming his acting without thinking in order to help another was proof he could be a Hero.
As for Nighteye are you referring to this scene?
Note how the story will later remark Midoriya and Togata should have tried to save Eri.
So the story doesn't really want us to think it's wrong for Midoriya to butt in even if the matter is delicate, even if butting in might kill him. It's against common behaviour but it's the mark of a Hero. The story approves of this, it approves it even when Midoriya decides to nose into Tomura's past even if the latter doesn't want him to.
Yes, the story points out the downside of this too, how, in the fight against Shouto, this leads Midoriya to lose the match, how this can lead to him taking serious risks but when all is said and done, in the story the mark of a Hero is acting without thinking to help others in need.
This is one of the themes.
Of course if we bring Shouto's sentence out of a Japanese contest Kouta's situation is still DELICATE in many culture, not just because it's a private issue but because it's a delicate topic as it involves Kouta's mourning so Midoriya should approach the topic with caution and respect.
And if we bring Midoriya's actions out of the story, his rushing into things in real life would cause more harm than good 9 cases out of 10 as Midoriya might be well meaning but he's just a teen who's hardly prepared for such things but well, this is a story so in the end Midoriya's instinct to rush him into things hardly happens to cause negative consequences (it only happens when he ends up weakening Tomura so that AFO can take control of him in chap 418...) and generally, one way or another, helps things (his rushing to save Bakugou inspired All Might to help Bakugou, his rushing to save Uraraka is what made him pass the U.A. exam, his rushing to help All Might agains Tomura distracted Tomura and gave U.A. teacher time enough to save them, his rushing to help Shouto, saved Shouto, his rushing to help Iida saved Iida and so on...).
Sorry for the long rambling, to sum it up, on a general line I would agree with you that Midoriya shouldn't rush into things especially when they touch delicate topics... but, if I'm reading the story correctly, this is not what the story truly wants us to think.
I might be wrong of course, as I'm not Horikoshi but just a person.
Still thank you for your ask!

Hello there. Thank you for helping me clarify the situation regarding the validity of the information on fandom wiki. Your response has been most insightful, but I appear to have another question. According to the manga, Rea is going to temporarily take care of Reisuke because her dead colleague is also Reisuke's parent. The use of her to denote her colleague implies that she's Yayoi Houjou. Now, the crux of my ask is which use of the term colleague denotes Yayoi's profession. If it was used in the strict sense of the word, that would mean Yayoi herself would also be a programmer like Rea. However, if used informally to denote someone who works for the same company as you, but not necessarily the same profession as you, then Yayoi's job could range from a receptionist to a custodian of the company. My question is which is the most likely profession Yayoi would have based on these context clues?
I'm glad I could help with the previous ask!
Good catch on Resiuke being described as "her" (in reference to the colleague) child — because yes, that definitely implies Yayoi Houjou was Rea's co-worker/colleague.
The use of the word "colleague" makes it almost impossible to figure out Yayoi's exact profession, though. Someone being a colleague only means you share a work environment with them — or, by the strictest definition, that you at least work with them in your profession/job. So it could be also almost anyone in your office. A programmer doesn't really work directly with a custodian, sure, but almost any other position could theoretically fit.
...but that whole idea of them being co-workers at all is where it gets interesting to me.
Yayoi is denoted as having died during the Omakata cult incident — that's why someone needs to look after Reisuke in the first place. To be clear, the Omakata cult is clearly situated close enough to Sakurami City to be within a quick driving distance for Kurusu; they're described as being on the "outskirts" at one point. But Rea Amano works far enough away that she leaves Yuki home alone for weeks at a time, and he has to come pick her up from the airport when she comes back.
So if Rea is working/living most of her life a flight away, and Yayoi is living in/near Sakurami, how could Yayoi have been a "colleague" of Rea's?
Perhaps Rea is still casually calling her a "colleague" despite that being in the past tense. Maybe Yayoi was eventually forced to abandon her job; you could even tie that into the abuse we see her receiving from her spouse in Reisuke's flashbacks.
We don't know when Rea started working away from home, but it stands to reason that she wasn't always doing that. Surely she had to be living mostly in Sakurami at some point during Yuki's childhood! Maybe she changed employers since then, sure... but what if there's a local office for the same company, and Rea eventually got a promotion that called for her to relocate? In other words: Yayoi could be a Sakurami-area colleague working at a lower level within the same company, and their work relationship was as remote-work colleagues who were linked via e-mails, phone calls, and/or video conferences. Maybe there's a local administrative/finance office, but the actual game creation takes place elsewhere. There's also the possibility that Yayoi was simply an outside freelancer who was hired to work out of her home... which would probably make sense when you consider that she had a young child to care for.
Both are plausible, but I think #2 is the more logical conclusion because it doesn't require Rea to be using such a loose definition. In that case, however, you'd have to assume that Yayoi wasn't a programmer at the same level as Rea, because if she was, she'd have been working in the same office. Yayoi could be pictured to instead be someone who worked in a finance/admin office, or perhaps she was someone who created environmental assets for the game(s) or worked on music/sound design? It's pretty common these days for some of those latter jobs to be freelanced out or otherwise assigned to a lower-level employee than the primary programmers.
This is all a ton of conjecture, of course. But it's food for thought. I'm sure there are other fans with their own visions/theories of how the relationship worked.
