Thinking About Mha Ending Without Being Able To See All Of The Characters Grow And Reach Their Own Individual

I'm not sure how to explain this but when ever someone brings up the old, 'What songs or Artists do you associate with this character?' question concerning MHA the only person I can answer in full confidence is Rick Astley for Kaminari.

No I will not elaborate you work it out yourself.

Man, the age of the Hero has finally come to it's end.

So tones of thoughts about MHA at the moment and I want to break down my thoughts, on some stuff.

So spoilers.

Izuku becoming a teacher just feels right in a way, he spent all that time studying and learning from all the other heroes and has this massive bank of knowledge concerning quirks as a whole, he learned what seven eight quirks, and fought some absolutely mind boggling enemies, but also has the emotional intelligence to help people, not sure how well he's going to be at discipline, but he could body if he wants.

This is the thing people do tend to forget since he was using One For All practically at all times he's still ripped as fuck, he got first in the sports festival race, quirkless, by the end of the manga he has to be superhuman, and just because he doesn't have OFA doesn't mean he lost all of his gains, he would still hurt man, and he still has that 'I will fight a building, and Win' mentality and yeah he's insane, he just doesn't have an ICBM at his disposal anymore, but he will still rock shit like a 50. Cal. I would maybe put him on at least Nightwing levels of physical, he is going to have to be weighted like Aizawa to stop him from boding his students in the practical exams. Yeah it's noted that having a quirk makes it easier to be a hero, but keep in mind I still think he would throw absolute hands in a quirkless fight, and you think he stopped training himself physically, nah, he's a Gym Gremlin he's been putting in work, so when he gets that new suit, that is MHA's Batman, not Iron Man, that is Batman, specifically Batman Beyond.

"A hero isn't a hero because they have powers a hero makes themselves worthy of the power"

I saw quite a few people stating that whole it's nice to have rich friends angle concerning the new suit but this quote works fantastical, at every turn, Izuku earned that power and respect, he earned the right to be called a hero, simply in his world being were he was at wasn't enough, so his friends gave him the edge he needed to stay in the game.

Also would just like to note symbolically he still might be the greatest hero, he is MHA's Booster Gold, he's on the side making sure things are running well like he genuinely inspired his classmates in such a special way he created a whole new ideal of how heroes must act, even if they don't all get the time to interact and chat you know for a fact that most of them are thinking about what he would do, you have reached legend status if you've still got your ideals being replayed in other peoples heads.

Speaking of ideals, I think the final fun thing that MHA has been building up to as it's final big message is one of my favorite observation.

'You cannot do it all alone'

Which yeah it sounds completely reasonable that you wouldn't be able to do everything by yourself but it's really been how that fact has been built up, All Might was Japan's Atlas, holding the sky up never faltering he could never break, bend or buckle and when he did, when the weight became to much he fell, he broke and when he did so many heroes had to come and shoulder the weight that All Might was holding, and it was massive and that is the genuine flaw with the ideology behind One For All is how funneled power and responsibility is onto the holder, all that stress would make you go grey, much like what holding the sky would do to you in PJO, so when Midoriya stepped up to become the Ninth, he had so much power thrust upon him, and he really didn't know how to use that, and he fell into the deeply unhealthy ideals of All Might is ridiculous self sacrifice that idea that there has to be a person standing at the precipice, a great burning flame is such a bad way of looking at it, depending on one man.

And through MHA this ideology is gradually unlearned, with society putting more value on becoming the greatest or waiting for someone stronger to solve your problems for you, 1-A has learned to trust in each other and grow and learn, there doesn't need to be a number one.

Lifting the sky alone is a struggle, all that weight on your shoulders, no matter how strong you are, you are going to buckle and eventually break under its ever pressing force. But when many hands, many legs, many people standing shouldering the sky, when you buckle. Someone will always be there to give you time and security to stand back up.

That is how the world has to be treated going forward not as one person shouldering it all but everyone holding it and getting a little grey, and that is what everything seems to have been working towards and we see bits and pieces of this in 430, but then it's undercut almost immediately by the Hero Ranking.

Now I hate that this is kept in universe as that genuinely hubristic, yes it's nice to strive for the goal of No.1 it's a nice thing to say "I'm the No.1 Hero in the country!"

But genuinely that causes more trouble than it's worth, that stupid board, and it's weird that they haven't gotten rid of it or have people oppose it, if anything I think Shoto should be vehemently against it, that stupid ranking board is what created the absolute cluster fuck that is the Todoroki family, it gave birth to quite frankly the most dysfunctional and destructive family in Japan with an list of issues longer than the likely price tag of their house. It caused Touya to go absolutely bonkers simply begging for love and attention, and he became Dabi and caused a Heat Wave felt across the fucking planet, like genuinely get rod of that stupid thing, all it does is fuel egos and create Icarus', yeah you got Endeavor out of it who as a hero did incredible work, but that constant strive for No.1 broke him as a person, he became like Batman, absolutely devoted to the mission and forgot everything else.

This is why I am so in favor of something like Young Justice's Disordered Episode, let me see that moment where Shoto realises that he cannot under any circumstances become his father, that devoted to the mission that he becomes the worse sort of man.

Like please just get rid of the Hero Rankings, nothing good will come of it, all it does is fuel egos, and it's been noted you really don't need a No.1 because that gives you a target of what you need to focus on, and that leaves you blind to everything else.

In my final bit, I think the symbolism of as the embers die out having Izuku be the one to light new torches with those die embers, and cultivate them to bright burning flame is a fantastic way to end.

He is that brazier that cultivates new flame, a fitting thing for him to do.

They don't understand anything about the human body, but do understand the replacing of their cells every seven years, that just sounds rational to them

Human biology must freak the hell out of engines.

Like, engines are "born" fully grown and everything in place. And everything should stay in place. No parts falling off. Everything is perfectly secured and everything is the exact size it should be. Nothing changes except their mental age.

So imagine when they find out that humans grow from tiny to well, slightly bigger (Compared to them.) and everything inside them, organs and all, grows with them??? Or their teeth just fall out at a certain age and then regrow? Or that we can't just replace parts? Or at least, if we lose something, it won't be like before. Or how bout that we basically have no protection? We're just skin and bones? No protective metal and super strength to protect us. Unless we build it ourselves. But most people don't have a suit of armor sitting around their house. And yet, we somehow survived this world? What is this witchcraft?!? Lol! These must be weird concepts to them.

This is part of the reason that I don't like when people characterize him as being this really stoic emotionally unavailable character, because he is super emotionally available, but he just isn't emotionally intelligent if that makes sense.

He's just a really sweet guy who happens to be rather dense, not dense in that he doesn't recognise peoples emotion but rather in that he isn't super good at social cues in working out why people tend to feel those emotions.

But I really do love how he puts away all of his pride, which honestly Shoto doesn't seem to have a lot of to instantly give her the motivation, I know canonically it was because they were both heavily reliant on their quirks but I think it was also because of Shoto's self confidence, well less so confidence just he lacked the care for what other thought of him in a sense, he get's over himself without question because.

A. That get's them the win

B. Put's her back in the game

He knows she's competent, massively so as can be seen by her dissection of the Training Fight in which she broke down why everyone got their scores, and she out maneuvered him in the sports fest, I think he was in a way rather distraught that she was feeling so bad for herself, because to him, why would she have to feel so put out, it was one bad match up.

But to get back on topic in some way, I think it's cute that he tries really hard to help her through out the exam and even afterwards with Kamino and the Hood attack.

We don't talk enough about how Todoroki goes out of his way to see Momo happy in that final exam arc. He:

Notices Momo is nervous about the practical and comes up with an idea for the both of them

Reassures her when the exam starts and listens to her concerns

Tries to protect her the moment he knows Aizawa is nearby

Immediately fucking shelves his ego and plans when his teacher tells him to believe in his partner

Tells Momo about his confidential vote for class president, because he knows it will give her the confidence she needs to have someone she admires, admire her back

Fucking basically offers to massage her foot when he sees her starts crying?! This boy, I swear...

Todoroki himself is sleeping on it but this man has game

New Thomas design?

New Thomas design, quite frankly if you have ever seen my old Thomas, I am sorry it was sooo bad.

This one is better.

Kyouka: Breathing very heavily on the couch*

Izuku: Is she okay?

Momo: Give her about an hour and she will possibly have recovered enough brain capacity to form coherent sentences.

Happy belated Easter everyone

You could probably convince Shouto to do just about anything if you gave him a Snickers.

The Boy loves that shit.

That's why they wear black, you can't see the man in the shadows with the camera if he looks like the shadows

ranch au: top five ways to tell the Scottish twins apart

(No you can't tell Bill and Ben apart, they are a hive mind their only difference is which hand they prefer to write with because ofc they're ambidexterous, all the better to prank people with)

Donald has 2% more smile wrinkle line then Douglas. Which makes sense when you consider how often he joins in on or even starts pranks.

Douglas is practical until you show him a plate of Duck's blueberry pie. Donald will instead judge it silently and wish it was raspberry.

One of them remembers he owns a comb and the other remembers but sometimes can't be bothered and just gives it a couple swipes before taking off ("It'll get messy later anyways" "Donald, it literally looks like a rat's nest" "We wear hats, what's the difference to you?")

Douglas is the one with the blackmail camera roll. Donald sweet-talks, Douglas films, and suddenly the story of Jame's' incident with some bees he was sure had been long forgotten was brought up. Toby has learned this and knows to keep mum, especially if he's recently played a small trick on the twins. Thomas has not.

Donald likes to sing but Douglas even more so. Everyone assumes Donald leads their rounds, and while it's true, it's Douglas that can pull out a song out of nowhere for almost every situation,l and he'll know all the words too. Donald just prefer songs where Douglas can chime in.

So did a flat colour of one of my OC's, this is Annabeth, art style is very much not mine as this was a part of a set of illustrations done by one of my friends sister, simply did a flat colour to test FireAlpaca.

She will get her explanation in due course.

They about to hit the town.
