MHA 414: What Izuku’s and Tomura’s Memories Mean…

As the connection between All For One and One For All become stronger (a consequence of the current plan to transfer the vestiges) Izuku’s and Tomura’s memories are beginning to blend together. And each of the memories shown are equally as important as each other.

Izuku’s first memory being his fight with Shouto at the Sports Festival is especially important, because it foreshadows what Izuku will have to do in order to save Tomura…

His fight with Shouto during the Sports Festival was the first time that Izuku was able to save someone.

Not saving someone physically, but being able to save their heart.

Izuku will have to save Tomura both physically and emotionally in order to truly save him. His first memory from his subconscious being of him saving Shouto explicitly shows that.

Izuku won’t be able to save Tomura’s heart through violent means.

Tomura’s first memories shown are also important, as it foreshadows what will eventually allow Tomura to let himself accept Izuku’s help. Each memory are of significant moments that he had with the league, all of them being moments that had a lasting impression on him.

His first time meeting Dabi and Himiko, who were the first people from the outside (people who weren’t directly under All For One’s influence) that he accepted into the league.

His memory of Spinner challenging him, and what Tomura’s goals are (Spinner seeking reassurance from Tomura)…

Tomura’s first thoughts throughout the series have consistently been of the league, and what their wants and needs are. Tomura views them as exceptions from his destruction. He wants them all to have a future where they can live how they see fit.

He wants them to be happy.

Tomura will have to accept that he cannot have both the league's happiness and the destruction of everything.

He will have to choose, but before Tomura can do that he will have to accept the true reason behind his anger, which isn’t what AFO manipulated him into thinking.

Tomura's anger (which drives his want for destruction) stems from his inability to understand how people are able to ignore the suffering of others.

Tomura isn't able to ignore it. He never has.

His inability to ignore others suffering is what made him originally want to be a hero.

Tomura doesn’t understand how people are able to turn a blind eye and go on with their lives despite seeing injustice happen right in front of them.

(How could his family ignore his suffering even though it was happening right in front of them? How could people have walked past him even when he was alone scared and covered in his family’s blood…?)

His anger also stems from a place of hurt.

Tomura copes with no one reaching out and helping him by thinking that he was being punished for killing his family. He copes with people ignoring his suffering by convincing himself that he wanted to kill his family.

(Which stems from his resentment of his family ignoring his suffering, and the sense of relief Tomura felt after killing his father, knowing that he will no longer have to be subjected to his abuse.)

Tomura thinks that his destruction is something inherent within him. That he’s inherently bad.

That he will never feel good again…

Tomura doesn’t see a future for himself where he can be happy.

Izuku will have to prove to Tomura that he isn’t any of these things, and that he does have a future where he can be happy…

Which will be what allows him to truly save Tenko.
