So... Izuku has his arms back apparently. Eri came and fixed him I guess
Hi @sapphic-agent 👋,
Well... that nullifies the point of Izuku's suffering spectacularly.
I was never a fan of Izuku losing his arms in the first place because it seemed like rather out a left field and a distasteful way to nullify Izuku being able to fight at all (along with his quirklessness.)
However, seeing Eri rip her horn out to help Izuku and Aizawa letting her - that puts a bad taste in my mouth.
Didn't Overhaul literally cut Eri up to get at her quirk within her DNA? So Eri literally pulling out the part of herself where her quirks power is stored to help the heroes in this leak is strikingly similar to what Overhaul did to her...
Are we meant to see this as heroic? Because I don't. I see a deeply traumatised little girl who went from being used by Overhaul to being used by the heroes.
P.s. Aizawa is an exceedingly poor guardian of Eri. Her safety has never been his number one priority. This is especially the case here, seeing as he is content to use her powers in this manner. Dadzawa is a lie in canon, especially when it comes to Eri.
P.p.s Adding to the bad taste - Bakugou is allowed a bullshit revival and a bullshit victory against AFO without losing any limbs. Izuku? Loses BOTH his goddamm arms in a trippy, dream memory sequence with Shig and isn't allowed to save Shig or beat him or AFO.
Just uuuugh. What even is this story anymore?

What BNHA Got Wrong: Actions and Consequences
Hoo boy... this fucking topic.
Actions and consequences are a rather simple concept, do something and expect something to follow up whether it be something good or bad. Very simple right?
Well in BNHA... it's completely twisted.
For example: Shota Aizawa and just how he acts overall.
This man literally plays god with the fate of his student's future in UA and has the fucking audacity to be all
"You all lost my trust and now you'll have to work on earning it back."
And then there's the way he treats Izuku as a whole when Bakugou is literally a walking red flag. It's fine if Bakugou goes around calling people mean nicknames and yelling die every ten seconds, but it's wrong for Izuku for not knowing how to control his quirk that he literally got a few days ago and for "supposedly" agreeing to fight with Bakugou after curfew.
Oh, and the guy's also a hypocrite for getting onto All Might for playing favorites but does it with Shinsou over his entire class.
Now none of this would be a problem if someone actually called him out on his bullshit and hypocrisy and be like
"Hey! You're kind of going against your own logic you placed and haven't done shit for this class."
But... nobody does. They literally treat him like he's this super genius that has done so much for these kids and is a second parent to them when in actually, he's a bum that sleeps most of the time.
Then there's Bakugou... do I even need to explain?
But one thing I WILL talk about regarding him is the difference in how people say
"Well he lost the Licence Exam and died in the war! Those gotta count as consequences!"
No, not really.
Those would count more as KARMIC consequences than something directly linked to the horrible stuff he's done.
Not ONCE do any of the characters call either of them out for their actions nor do they face any consequences for their actions, but they're PRAISED and looked upon fondly where the characters that DO face consequences doesn't deserve it.
I.E Izuku with the House Arrest and Sero with the final exam.

Alright, I’m bored again so I’m going to rank all of the arcs from best to worst:
Great:
1. Hero Killer Arc: This arc and number 2 on this list proves that MHA had such potential. Watching Izuku grow and his efforts/impact on other people being acknowledged was great to see. We’ve got fantastic growth for the three main characters and a very good antagonist(despite some issues I have with Stain’s goal). Best of all, no Katsuki.
2. Shie Hissaki Arc: another great arc with a lot of great fights and characters. Watching Izuku vs Overhaul was thrilling and being introduced to The Big 3 and some cool pro heroes was a treat. There are some issues I have with this arc, such as how Overhaul’s motivations suck (he sees quirks as cooties when he literally has the best quirk in Japan) and that some characters could’ve been developed more (I would’ve loved to see more from the Eight Bullets and Nejire), but it was overall a good experience. And again, no Katsuki.
3. USJ Arc: Other than Katsuki’s dumbass endangering everyone and not getting called out for it, I had a blast with this arc. Solid character interactions all around and a fantastic fight to end it all off.
4. U.A Festival Arc: Gentle was a breath of fresh air in terms of villains and I really enjoyed his fight with Izuku. This would’ve been number 3 if not for the fact Izuku gets yelled at for doing his job and Katsuki gets another point added to him being a Gary Stu by revealing yet another talent he has that he shouldn’t.
Good:
5. Entrance Exam Arc: It was a solid setup for getting to know Izuku, All Might, and the world of MHA. It was one of the few times that the narrative wasn’t sucking on Katsuki’s dick too.
6. Forest Training Arc: The final arc that I’d consider good. We���ve got some solid moments here. Fumikage going berserk, Mezou carrying everyone to safety being introduced to the main LoV members, Izuku vs Muscular, and the character of Kota were nice additions to the series. We even got to see some of 1-B, even if it wasn’t much.
Alright:
7: Meta Liberation Arc: Now we’re in the area where these arcs aren’t bad, but they clearly exist just to set things up. This is an arc that would’ve been fantastic if it wasn’t for the fact it led nowhere. Yes, a good chunk of the LoV received fantastic development but the MLA were so lame, and by that, I mean they’re introduced here only to serve as canon fodder in the next arc.
8. Pro Hero Arc: I don’t really have any complaints about this arc nor do I have anything to say outside the fact Endeavor’s fight with the High End was pretty neat.
9. Hideout Raid Arc: only reason this isn’t in the “good” or “great “ category is cause it was centered around Katsuki. All Might vs AFO was a fantastic conclusion to the first saga of MHA and I liked seeing the rescue squad in action… even though Katsuki made it a pain to be rescued.
10. U.A traitor Arc: I don’t really care about this arc for two reasons, one is that the foreshadowing leading up to this moment sucked and that we never really got to spend enough time with Yuuga to care much about the reveal.
Bad:
11. Endeavor Agency Arc: Now we’re at the part where I dislike all of these arcs. This is an arc that Katsuki ruins due to him being a shitty character. Him yelling at a trauma victim to stop talking about her trauma in her own damn house was obnoxious. Katsuki didn’t need to be in this arc whatsoever. Remove him and this arc would’ve had a much higher rating for actually tackling Endeavor’s character and relationship with his family in a solid manner.
12. Sports Festival Arc: The Sports Festival Arc would’ve been fantastic it is weren’t for certain points. First off, this is where the Katsuki dick sucking really began. Shota acts like a mouthpiece for Katsuki even though the people booing him were right in the fact that he could’ve ended the fight easily. He also wasn’t taking Ochako seriously at all, literally announcing “it’s time to get serious” once her strat failed. He should’ve lost against Shoto too seeing as Shoto’s ice is a direct counter to his quirk. Finally, Katsuki had no right listening in on Shoto and Izuku’s conversation and demanding anything from Shoto, a point that’s never addressed. Secondly, all the Gen Ed kids were assholes for no reason. Who in their right mind sees 1-A going through a traumatic experience as them seeing themselves better than everyone else? Yeah, Katsuki gave off a bad impression but he’s just one guy. Finally, this was the arc that introduced Hitoshi, a failed attempt by Hori at tackling the idea of prejudice. Instead of someone bitter at the world for being screwed by society, we got an entitled bitch.
13. Remedial Course Arc: as much as I love Gang Orca, this arc served no purpose. Katsuki gives off a line that feels undeserved seeing as he’d go off undermining people afterwards but this arc’s biggest flaw was that it really didn’t have to exist.
Crap:
14. Battle Trial Arc: Now we’re in the really bad arcs. The Battle Trial Arc is once again ruined by Katsuki. Despite being told by All Might not to fire that explosion, he still does. Yes, he aimed it in a way that it wouldn’t kill Izuku, but the fact that All Might was worried that it could’ve killed Izuku meant that firing that thing in a narrow hallway could’ve seriously injured him. Katsuki suddenly switching up his fighting style despite having no formal training’s the first instance of his plot armor showing up, with the second being that he wasn’t disqualified. Katsuki being afraid of 1-A’s potential went nowhere cause he ended up winning the Sports Festival and would undermine 1-A constantly. Finally, Izuku telling Katsuki about his “borrowed power” was dumb. Everything else was fine though, but not enough to make up for Katsuki’s flaws.
15. Paranormal Liberation Arc: Would’ve been much higher but there are several glaring flaws. Izuku defending Endeavor’s character was one of those moments where I audibly groaned. Katsuki’s plot armor kicks it up into turbo gear by having him have a quirk awakening, surviving an attack that should’ve destroyed his stomach with zero consequences, and giving him an unearned “my body moved on its own” moment.
16. Quirk Apprehension Exam: This arc introduces Shota… and makes all of his flaws known to the audience. I have several posts going over why he sucks and this is the episode that shows it all off. Only thing keeping this from being ranked lower is cause we were also introduced to 1-A.
Shit:
17. Star and Stripe Arc: We’re close to the bottom of the barrel now. Hori introduces a character he never foreshadowed once despite Star and Stripe being the top pro hero of another country and immediately kills her. It does nothing to the plot either. “Oh but it nerfed Tomura” that’s what Hori tells us. Do we actually see what quirks Tomura lost? In fact, after this, his quirk evolves to counter Eraserhead’s. At best all this arc did was stall for time.
18. Dark Hero Arc: what a waste of potential. This would’ve been ranked lower if it wasn’t for Ochako’s speech, Izuku vs Muscular 2, and Izuku helping that fox lady. What makes it shit though? First off, Izuku suddenly unlocks the rest of his quirks. Secondly, 1-A thinks that the best way to get Izuku back is to show up, beat him up, and then kidnap him back to U.A. Third, the pros were offering Izuku no support. He was hungry, tired, and dirty, yet not once did any of them think “hey, if we’re using him as bait to draw AFO out, maybe we should keep him healthy so he can help us once we ambush AFO”. Fourth, Katsuki’s role in this arc. He demeans Izuku in front of his friends, daring to compare Izuku’s desire to protect everyone to him having an ego, and then gives an absolutely poorly timed and terrible apology. God this arc sucks.
19. Joint Training Arc: Oh look, another Katsuki dick sucking session. Sorry, but 1-B does not redeem how awful this arc is. Katsuki’s praised to the moon and back, insults his classmates and the former OFA users with no repercussions, and earns yet another victory. “But he saved Kyouka” but not out of being a good person. He only wanted the victory. Maybe this could’ve been a good step if Katsuki’s arc wasn’t Hori’s attempt at speedrunning a character arc. Yui getting beat by Ochako so effortlessly will forever bother me as one of Yui’s 5 fans (this girl has a 5/6 A+ skill stat, which is higher than Ochako’s). Also, Hitoshi’s here, but he’s actually tolerable here so I’m not going to rant about him.
Super Shit:
20. Provisional License Arc: This is going to be a short write cause there’s not much to be said. It’s yet another Katsuki dick sucking session where the narrative wanks him off. Then there’s Kacchan vs Deku 2, which if you’ve read any of my blogs, you know that this was once my least favorite moment of the series. If you wanna know why this moment was so crap, I have dozens of posts about why it does. And yes, I said it was once my least favorite moment. What’s to come somehow managed to beat it in terms of sheer crap.
I can’t think of any singular phrase to describe how terrible this arc is:
21. Final War Arc: How ironic that the end of the series is also at the end of this list. Where do I even begin? Well, there’s Miruko being the subject of someone’s gore fetish for the third time, AFO overstaying his welcome, Izuku hardly even doing anything, Tomura getting BS power ups up the wazoo, AFO and Izuku never meeting, the mutant portion being handled poorly, Dabi somehow gaining a power up that ultimately served no purpose, and Ochako and Himiko’s portion also being wrapped up poorly. However, what really makes this arc the bottom of the barrel is the dick sucking. Somehow, Katsuki’s able to last the longest against Tomura. Somehow Katsuki manages to score a hit just because he scared Tomura. Somehow Katsuki managed to survive having his heart, arm, and chest blown out via amateur surgery with absolutely no injuries despite being dead for like 5 min without a damn heart and heart surgery not being an answer for a broken arm. And finally, Katsuki gets yet another quirk power up and is now able to compete with AFO. This is THE arc where it’s clear Hori wanted Katsuki to be the protagonist and god damn I will argue that The Room and My Immortal is better than this clusterfuck of an arc.

For the asshole opportunity thing, how would Shouta be in this?
Ah. Easy: He is a biased teacher who refuses to move past because he's stubborn.
I wrote a new short yesterday (which I don't know if I'll post) where it's revealed like in my other fic, Aizawa never got around to reading the files due to his injuries. He forgets about it with the chaos going on, and ends up relying on his thoughts. And he's a good hero so some are spot on. But his biases hold him.
Bakugou, a boy who yells, gets angry a lot and who has a troubling relationship with another student who has a 'classic' heroic Quirk. Bully and victim, but Aizawa gets it wrong who is who. Then he thinks it's Izuku was innocently insensitvie to Bakugou who got mad, and keeps trying to get Izuku to apologize.
He never read the files and assumed no one wanted to go into underground heroics, thus focusing on training Shinsou. Meanwhile Ashido who wants to, as does Shouji, Tokoyami, Kouda and Ojiro watches him train someone else.
The class slowly begins to lose respect. The kids closest to Izuku, who figure out the truth of Bakugou, hate he doesn't see how Bakugou is the one in the wrong. The kids who want to go underground get mad to, and complain. The class begins to slowly distrust Aizawa. They trust him as a hero, they trust he will fight for them. They don't think he's a good teacher.
Then one day, it happens. Shinsou, in the class to see if he fits, hears them talk about how Aizawa never offered them training despite having it on their files they want to go underground. He asks Aizawa, and is confused when Aizawa says no one wanted to.
This is how Aizawa realizes he fucked up. Shinsou points out what he heard and Aizawa realized he hadn't actually looked at the files. He looks and suddenly pieces are falling together he never considered and oh shit, Kaminari has ADHD? Ashido wants to go underground? There is a lot of comments on Izuku's files but fuck look at that Quirk activation date.
Aizawa realizes much to late what happened. And explaining it only gets scorn. What kind of teacher doesn't read the files before the school year? It's illogical.
And Aizawa has to admit... they're right.

Characters with wasted potential : shota aizawa (rant)
Look I first got into the series because of the idea of dadzawa but now i can confirm that it is just a fanon concept that people made(one that I wish was actually true). I have many problems with Aizawa's character that hori never really focuses on:
HE IS A BAD TEACHER. It is without doubt that aizawa shota is cannonically a horrible teacher who clearly favourites students like bakugo and shinso while clearly treating other students like izuku unfairly. One of the things that makes him a bad teacher is the whole expulsion thing. Something like that is very big as it completely ruins a perfect record which can ruin lives AND CREATE VILLAINS. Even his old students fear him and have a bad impression of him which doesn't help the "oh dadzawa" or "aizawa is a good teacher stuff". Shota can and will protect the students but that's it in terms of teaching his students something and taking care of them he rarely does that.
THE WAY HE INTERACTS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS. Iam talking about both sides here. He favours bakugo and goes to extreme lengths to defend him even though the public actually have a point and even nedzu states that the reason that they kidnapped Katsuki was because of his behaviour. It then makes no sense for him to keep on criticising midoriya instead of actually doing something and helping him handle OFA (he is one of the best teachers to help him with combat and his quirk) even if he doesn't know about OFA specifically he can still train and help midoriya which he never does or never offers. The only time we see him train a student it isn't even someone from HIS OWN CLASS which adds to the whole he looks like a bad teacher.
HIS BACKSTORY. Let's be honest the whole oboro and kurogiri thing had potential but it's all their just for shota and to make him a lot more sympathetic. It's literally Horikoshi's way of giving us a reason to justify shota's on paper expulsions and why he is so distant which doesn't work. His backstory had potential but was dealt with the wrong way to the point where later in the series all that shota is reduced to is the nomu oboros friend.
HIS INCONSISTENCY. Eraserheads character is very inconsistent like he goes from being this bad teacher who threatened to expel any student for coming last on a test and not showing heroic potential to him somehow forging yuuga for being the traitor and sympathising with him?!?! To me this development kind of comes out of nowhere especially when you realise that he KNEW he treated izuku badly and THEN PROCEEDED TO NOT APOLOGISE AT ALL?!!!?!?!. There are many other things inconsistent with his character like the way he treats all might and his friends like istg midnight is your friend so why you shutting present mic up for being angry and grieving midnights death?!!?!!
Honestly, I don't think Aizawa was supposed to come of as a bad teacher and a bad person but because of Horikoshi's writing it came out that way which is sad. I think horikoshi wanted him to be something similar to kento nanami (jjk) and hatake Kakashi (Naruto) but that didn't work out as seen here. You can improve this by:
Making him a good teacher. Show him reading his students files and trying to learn more about his students before meeting them which would help with his introduction scene where we see him waiting outside of the class to see how everyone is settling in. Have him use his rational deceptions but not make the consequences something huge like expulsion ( a transfer or a visit to the principles office would have the same effect). Let him acknowledge bakugos behaviour and have him call out stuff he sees. It makes no sense to me why anyone espe shota who got bullied by someone just like bakugo likes and constantly defends bakugo. HAVE HIM ACKNOWLEDGE/ LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS CLASS; he should know stuff like how secretive and closed off shoto is or how unusually aggressive bakugo is. Have him give actual concequences to his class that make sense like with mineta and bakugo they should of been dropped long ago or at least been sent to nedzus office so he can deal with them. FOR A GUY SO LOGICAL SHOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO DO ANY OF THIS!!!
Change the way we see him talk to and interacting with different characters. Iam all for having him be someone closed off but someone who still cares because that's the something that the narrative tries to do but fails at. The narrative also tries to make him as this guy who is scared to form real bonds as a trauma response to what happend with oboro but ironically he always ends up caring and trying to protect people in his own way which is an interesting plot point but fails. I would be content in keeping both of those plot ideas as a part of his character however, to do that have him not have any FAVOURITES and just slowly/unconsciously have him build bonds with the students in his class (can start to happen after the usj) and for shinso have him build a bond after shinso manages to get into the hero course. When it comes to him talking and interacting with his students keep him blunt and have him point out flaws but also give ideas and help into how to actually FIX THE FLAWS. This could lead to him trying to help izuku with his quirk situation and actually teach him quirkless combat (which is something CANON IZUKU SHOULD OF HAVE LEARNT!!!) From then we can see aizawas perception of izuku slowly change and he slowly starts to understand his student and realises the uncanny similarities they both end up sharing. When it comes to him interacting with teachers have him at the start feel like he doesn't fit in and be distant but slowly with the help of his friends present mic and midnight he starts to open up to the UA staff and we can get him develop a little rivalry with Vlad (I know a lot of people say it exists but it's quite one sided with just Vlad being competitive) Iam not saying aizawa should be extroverted and competitive but still be petty and uphold a bit of the rivalry in his own way. When it comes to his friends I think with them he should be close but also have this irrational fear of losing his friends ( actually have him realise and try to teach the dangers of heroics). With all might I feel like he should respect him as a hero and what his goal is which is to teach heroics to the younger generation ( he still doesn't know about OFA until way later ) but have him as someone who has been teaching for a longer time period give constructive criticism and sympathise a bit cos let's be honest teaching a group of overpowered kids is tough.
Have his backstory focus on him and his friends. When reading the vigilantes manga and just looking at the main manga you can clearly tell that the whole backstory of oboro and the kurogiri situation is just there for aizawa and no one else which is such a shame considering it ruins all the characters that are involved writing. Throughout the reveal, we should of focused on the whole rooftop trios reaction as a whole and not only on aizawas we should of seen them try and take comfort and confide in eachother ,we should of seen their own regrets and suffering while giving all the characters screen time to show that. Also aizawas backstory doesn't make sense considering how he goes on to favour bakugo even though he was bullied by someone like bakugo so have him actually follow his backstory and maybe as a teacher empathise more with Izuku and try and help whatever nonsense pos is on.
It's such a pity that aizawa (one of Horikoshi's favourite characters) has so much wasted potential and could of been a great teacher that tried his best to teach and protect his students but because of the inconsistencies in his character and his actions all of that just FAILS horribly.

You know what annoys me most about the entire Yagi and Inko bashing? Canonically EVERY adult has failed Izuku, every single one of them, (even Aizawa, especially Aizawa). However it's only Yagi and Inko who realized their own mistakes and tried to make amends and yet it's them who get most hated meanwhile Aizawa did fuck all for Izuku and yet the fandom treats him like a sagely perfect teacher because muhmuhm he expels kids to give them fear of death

Umm, I don't see this discussed often, but why the HELL did Aizawa just sit back when Black Whip was awakened instead of getting off his ass and stopping the match like he should have?
It was hurting everything and everyone, Izuku was freaking the tf out meaning it CLEARLY wasn't him in control, and Aizawa could have erased it. But nope, Ochako had to put herself at risk.
Can this man just do his fucking job and actually TEACH his students?

Not to be that person but aizawa have most definitely ruined so many kids futures for putting black mark on their records because in japan if you have a black mark on your record, your life is basically ruined, no school will accept you nor would anyone hire you
No teachers should have the power to expel students unless it the principal

Honestly I don't see the hype and appeal of Aizawa.
I mean I can somewhat see it, but idk. Maybe facial stubs and tired looking men aren't my thing, and he's just too hobo looking for me to feel attracted.
Not to mention his personality is garbage and a bit too pessimistic for my taste.
People ignore Present Mic bc he is not "hot" enough. I know you ask about Aizawa and I promise it has relevance.
Like, Present Mic seems to be a more caring person but again, he is not "hot" as Aizawa. An easy fix, put his hair down ans removes the glasses and suddenly he is hotter than Aizawa.
My point is ...people claim they want dadzawa bc Aizawa is appealing to their tastes. But they dont want canon Aizawa.
A mjority of the fans prefer fanon over canon but insist the fanon is the real canon

Se que esto no tiene que ver con la querida ex-cabeza de patata, pero no me pude resistir!! Sabes de blogs como el tuyo anti-bakugo o anti-aizawa???? Si no es molestia,
Im sorry, but I wont just @ anti blogs here, if maybe the owners dont want that. Toxic bakugou and aizawa stans could attack these blogs.
So to anyone who follows me or reads this, if you have an anti bakugou/anti aizawa blog and you dont have a problem to give it away, please help our friend here out and post it in the comments or by reblogging.
(Im not anti aizawa by the way, I just critic him from time to time).

A fic I made where Izuku is a traitor but he doesn’t work for UA
As is par for the course for me I pull characters from other medias to use and I beat canon with a brick
There are currently six chapters
Also it doesn’t look upon Bakugou or Aizawa favorably just so you know

The All Might Bashing both in canon and fanon will never NOT piss me off.
Is All Might a man with flaws? Yes. Has he made some dumb and horrible decisions? Yes he has. But that doesn't mean he deserves to be demonized for it!
The show LOVES to point and pin blame on All Might when it's convenient! Like Aizawa saying he's playing favorites with Izuku or Bakugou saying that it was ALL MIGHT'S fault for Izuku's low self esteem!
Meanwhile the show LOVES to place Aizawa on a pedestal and brush off any flaws or red flags he has! Praising him to be the Einstein of Japan as he knows how to teach kids on how to be mini adults!
Hi @theloganator101 👋,
All of this. All Might has made some horrible decisions and has made mistakes but, unlike Aizawa, he has learnt from them.
All Might vows to do and has tried his best every step of this story whereas Aizawa has never tried his best or admitted, out loud, that he was wrong.
All Might has things he can be critiqued for yet it is easy to see that he is well meaning and wants to do better. Unlike Aizawa, who can come across downright malicious and cruel at times and has shown no willingness to change.
So, Canon upholding Aizawa as the Einstien of Japan while penalizing All Might for every little mistake is horrible to see.
Fanon goes one step further in Dadzawa and AM bashing fics - usually turning Aizawa into 'Dadzawa' a gruff yet caring teacher who isn't cruel in the slightest and Yagi into 'Hell-Might' an awful, quirkist and cruel bigot that only shares a name with his canon counterpart. (Canon!All Might would likely want to deck the bastardised fanon! version of him 'Hell-Might' in the face, but I digress.)
It makes you wonder if these Authors are just twisting the characters to fit their story (which is fine, they can write whatever they want) or if they truly are interpreting Aizawa and All Might this way...
If it's the latter, they need to reread canon instead of the many Dadzawa and AM bashing fics that are out there because All Might deserves better treatment than this.

(Sorry for clogging up your ask box) If Hori actually allowed for Aizawa to be more than Wish.com Kakashi, we could have gotten something like this:
- Aizawa's "logical ruses" making 1A have some level of mistrust towards him, making them go to the other teachers for different things.
- Aizawa realizing he may have judged Izuku unfairly after he saved his ass at the USJ
- Aizawa actually reflecting on Present Mic calling him a terrible teacher, musing that he may actually be right
- Have fucking SOMEONE call him out for favoring Shinsou and neglecting his students while having the nerve to bitch about All Might
- Aizawa (and All Might tbh) realizing that they made a huge mistake pairing Izuku and Bakugou in the finals when they see him blatantly refusing to work with Izuku, FAILING Bakugou when he gets knocked out (will forever be pissed that Sero failed because of that while Bakugou passed)
- Aizawa realizing that he does in fact suck as a teacher when there's 6 of his students in the remedial course while there's 1 of King Vlad's
- Have the journalists push back when he gives that BS speech about "Bakugou wants to win, so he'll be a hero and is totally not a walking, talking red flag", perhaps by bringing up his past expulsions in the vein of "what did your previous students do that was so bad while Bakugou gets to stay a student"
- Have Bakugou fucking expelled after that bullshit fight with Izuku, especially him admitting that he threw the first punch. And there was a FUCKING CAMERA that reported the fight to Aizawa. You mean to tell me he didn't watch the footage and see that Izuku wasn't engaging for most of the fight?
- Just have someone (maybe Mic) call him out on the fact that while Oboro's death was awful and it's not his fault that he's traumatized by it, it doesn't excuse him taking his grief and trauma on everyone around him
Tumblr media
Had to pair these up to really answer the bullshit that is Aizawa.
Nah but you are right on ALL OF THIS!
I too cannot view this man as a caring parental figure to the class when he's barely done anything to help them.
Aside from Bakugou, what is Hori's reason for not calling this man out for being a flat-out hypocrite and unfair teacher? I seriously wanna know.
Aizawa COULD work if the narrative AND characters call him out on his bullshit!
I know @justatalkingface described Aizawa as being someone who represents the sin of pride and I think that could tie in really well if written right.
Have the characters get onto him and him trying to stand his ground, using his trauma to excuse his actions but it won't cut it anymore.
And that one scene you explained with the journalist pushing back... I now wanna see that as a fanfic.
But all in all, Aizawa is a garbage character at being an asshole with a heart of gold when there are other characters that did it better.

Sorry for not being on in, like, forever. Life’s just gotten in the way.
Anyways, that’s not what I wanted to talk about today. What I really wanted to focus on is something I’ve been thinking a lot on lately, and that’s the idea of asshole characters.
Obviously asshole characters come in all shapes and sizes. Each have their own motivations for being an asshole and/or unfriendly individual. Katsuki, Shota, and Hitoshi are asshole characters themselves, but why is it that I dislike them so much?
At first I thought I didn’t like asshole characters in general. However, I then remembered that there are several characters people would classify as assholes/unfriendly individuals that are characters I adore. Lysithea from Fire Emblem 2 Houses and Natsuki from Doki Doki Literature Club are characters who are rough around the edges and aren’t nice to people immediately. The reasons behind their behavior aren’t too far off from why Shota and Hitoshi act the way they do, that being trauma, so why am I able to look past their behavior and not that of Shota and Hitoshi? With Katsuki, it’s obvious, but the other two had me scratching my head for a bit.
The answer, outside of the fact that Lysithea and Natsuki are multi-layered characters written far better than Shota and Hitoshi, is that the girls are REACTIVE assholes while Hitoshi and Shota are ACTIVE assholes.
What do I mean by that? Well both Lysithea and Natsuki for the most part keep to themselves. Something that someone does ends up causing them to snap. For Lysithea, it’s when she feels that her time is being wasted after someone approaches her about something irrelevant. For Natsuki, it’s a defensive mechanism triggered by a perceived attack on her character. Now, is that an excuse for their behavior? No. There are better ways to defend yourself and to get people to stop talking to you, but it’s at least understandable that they’d snap due to their traumas.
Katsuki, Hitoshi, and Shota aren’t like that. When they’re an asshole, it isn’t because they’re provoked into being one by someone else’s actions, but because they’re the ones doing the provoking. Katsuki’s rude and aggressive to everyone around him, choosing to make the life of another boy absolutely miserable without any provocation. Hitoshi decides to mock 1-A and issue his “challenge” not because anyone approached him, but because he himself is looking for trouble. Yeah, Katsuki gave off a shitty first impression, but Hitoshi already was planning on challenging 1-A from the beginning. Shota’s the one who controls his teaching style and is a position of authority. Rather than do his job, he’d rather tear someone down.
Am I supposed to sympathize with these so-called heroes? I for the life of me can’t seem to do so. Meanwhile, with characters like Lysithea and Natsuki, I can because they don’t mean to be an asshole, it’s just that they want to be left alone.
Now, am I saying reactive assholes are better characters than proactive assholes? No. Proactive assholes can have great character development. The problem is that proactive assholes are tougher to warm up to, especially when they’re meant to characters the audience is meant to root for. MHA’s writing does nothing TO make people want to root for these guys. They’re just assholes who wanna throw their weight around and never receive punishment for it/are called out for it. Hell, MHA seems to think these characters ARE in the right for being the way they are and/or doesn’t take the fact that they are assholes seriously (looking at you Katsuki).
Anyways, I thought I’d write this up to really explain more of my thought process and why Katsuki, Hitoshi, and Shota bother me so much whereas I find myself adoring characters such as Lysithea and Natsuki.

"We need more male characters who aren't stereotypes about their gender!!!"You guys can't even handle the idea that a character being an adult man dosen't mean he's horny all the time or up for casual sex just because he's hot

So I was rereading some of my posts and I get to the one of me talking about BNHA not having any school clubs or extracurricular activities, to which I still stand by.
Because you would think UA WOULD have them so their students would have something else to do in the job department if they ever decide that doing hero work isn't their thing, but we don't get any mention of any of that!
And even if we did, I'm sure Aizawa would discourage his students from joining them and even ban them since his mentality is that heroics is all that matters in life and if you dare try anything else, then it's a waste of time.
Hi 👋 @theloganator101
This is something I was very confused about and I did talk about it in one of my UA critical posts here if you wanna check it out 👇
UA is stated to have many extracurricular activities but I don't think these activities are actually allowed for the heroics kids to do and even if they are I get the impression that aizawa wouldn't allow it considering how harsh he is with their training and how he previously stated that there time in UA was going to be intense and jam packed with training and work.
Tumblr media
The problem with this is that I think it would of been really cool if we saw some students doing extracurricular activities and it would of been better if UA made it mandatory so all children can have a backup if anything happens or they just don't wanna be a hero anymore they have backup experience and job ideas. Sadly, we don't get any of that and no actual academic arcs which just sucks in general because the story is called my hero academia aka academics/ academia is in the title but there is almost no academics arcs at all, it's just jam-packed fighting and war like?!?!
