You know, I’m still annoyed with people misunderstanding Tomura/Tenko’s character and overstating AFO’s grooming on him, acting like blaming everything on the guy he knows manipulated him will alter the course Tomura’s on following his origin; but thinking about it a bit, I also find it a bit ironic.

Because this is what Tomura hid from AFO, Tenko before he met AFO. You wanted to strip away AFO’s influence? Cool, this who he is underneath all that. The symbolism’s pretty spelled-out on this one. So trying to strip away more of AFO is just gonna be stripping away Tenko Shimura now. How apt, I've been complaining about just that. And call it a hunch, but going forward, I don’t think that’s the right answer for how to save him.

What he needs saving from is no longer AFO, it’s not the heroes and hero society.

What needs to happen now is addressing his grievances in a good faith discussion and actually talk with the crying child (in-between shonen violence of course, I’m no barbarian); not playing the blame game against a potato-man who’s schemes are already all exposed and who may be dead & dealt-with in Tomura’s head now.

Things that I realized until in season 6. This hero seemed familiar to me and when I saw him again, I realized why.

Eel Boy is a Pro Hero who in the past became the reason to become Ochako Uraraka's hero, since she always saw her parents sad, and only saw them smile (and the rest of the people) when they were present when this hero and his team defeated a villain.

Years later, during the capture at the Paranormal Liberation Front base, Eel Boy would be on Edgeshot's team assigned to capture Mrs Compress and Himiko Toga. Meeting his end at the hands of the last of the Twice clones. And then Toga herself would use his aspect to attack and kill more heroes.

On one hand, Eel Boy gave a light and smile to a little girl. While for another he was an exhibition of the violent capacity of the villains.

The amount of people who want to strip Keigo of his character depth to make him the most basic, uninteresting piece of trash. It’s criminal. You all need to be locked up.

Chapter 104 is out!

Read over on fanfic.net

Read over on Ao3

This chapter had so many little details and important correlation to the canon material that I spent the longest time going through. So many characters! Everything happening! It was truly the end of this climatic war! And what, you may ask, are the consequences of these fights and everyone trying so hard to succeed on both sides? Read on to find out! I'm really proud of this update. I remember looking at all the manga pages that I needed to shift through and wondering how I could possibly fit it all into one chapter. It was especially hard when considering just how many different perspectives appear within the span of this final battle. Since we're staying with Tokoyami's pov for this important encounter, there's bound to be a few things that he didn't see happen. But no worries! We'll get to all that eventually.

For now, enjoy the chapter for what it is – because damn, it is a LOT.

Honestly I’m hoping Deku hauls his ass back into the manga soon and the war arc wraps up because with the way things are set up (AFO fully regened, whatever the hell is going on with Shigaraki, the Ochako/Toga fight that still needs to get going, the moles inside U.A., Dabi shockingly still up and running after all that) I don’t see this story closing out by the end of the year. There is still way too much that needs to be addressed and unfortunately the war is just eating up time and resources that could’ve been spent doing just that before the whole ‘AFO/Shigaraki will hit 100% between three days to one week’ nonsense that was happening during the mini S&S arc.

#no wonder i hate war arcs so much #bnha isn't anywhere near this bad but something like naruto just DRAGGED the hell out of things #but - again - naturally it's b/c it's a war arc #not only a war arc but the FINAL. ARC. #so i must say again: holy shit do i hate war arcs #i have yet to come across a manga that does it in a good way #i'd say rave master but that's more 'final battle' than 'big ass war' #it's a shame b/c the first half of bnha up to the PLF arc was really good #and then after that it just. full on hits the gas pedal?? #i don't even dislike the manga i'm just disappointed #leave it to a war arc to bring down the quality of a story #i would label this as more 'critical' than anything else #b/c the more you look into the latter half of the manga the more obvious the problems become

Actually, now I'm thinking about it, it's odd to me that Midoriya and Uraraka look similar and maybe that's on purpose.

Round eyes & face

Facial marks (Freckles for Midoriya, blush stickers for Uraraka)

"Brunette" (green hair is considered being a brunet/te in anime logic)

Shorter than the others

Now given that, what if Uraraka "falling in love" with Midoriya wasn't her actually falling in love? What if it was her having a self-reflection and accepting herself?

Further thinking about it... they're practically the same person.

They're both compassionate, kind. They learn to adapt to changes. They're cute, but they're vicious if pushed far enough. They won't give up on people or in a fight. Hell, they both float, use long range attacks, and close range ones. Works in teams of three (Uraraka-Asui-Hado, Midoriya-Bakugou-Todoroki) under a top Pro Hero.

And they both "rival" some feral blond that they don't act "normal" around.

What if Midoriya wasn't meant to be Uraraka's crush but her mirror? Mind you whenever someone points out her "crush" it's not someone you would turn to for love advice.

Aoyama is Aoyama (think about that reveal), Ashido practically ships anybody with anybody when there's no real chemistry, and Toga has a twisted concept of love.

You really think I would trust any of them on telling me I have a "crush"?

There's also the fact that Uraraka herself during her talk with Midoriya says they're both "oddballs". That whole talk during 342 comes off more as someone talking about their feelings about their identity and relating to a friend who feels the same about themselves than supposedly "romantic". When someone is called an "oddball", it means that person is "weird". They're not part of the "norm".

Sometimes it comes off as having different interests, like someone liking the arts unlike the majority of the group who likes sports.

Or it's someone who identifies as queer.

What if these last few chapters of Toga and Uraraka was Uraraka accepting herself?

@darkcircles4lyfe points out a detail that I didn't catch until now in this post here.

In this scene, Toga has a hold of that All Might keychain. We know it's of importance to Uraraka because Midoriya gave it to her. We also know that once before Uraraka snatched it away from her when Toga first got a hold of it during the PLF War Arc. Here, she doesn't do it. Granted, because she's bang the hell up and probably even isn't aware of her surroundings. But on Horikoshi's part, what if that's on purpose? What if here, Toga is taking the keychain as a way of saying Uraraka is finally accepting herself and her feelings? That Midoriya was that mirror she kept looking into and questioning until this very moment?

And let's be honest here, it's not like Horikoshi isn't incapable of writing M/F ships. I just think IzuOcha is a ship he doesn't intend to make romantic because of how underdeveloped it is.

Compare it to Kamijirou and Kirimina, it is pale. Also, make note of those two pairs.

The characters in those ships also have opposing physical features.

Kamijirou - dark and light hair colors, the extrovert and the introvert

Kirimina - Spiky hair and curly hair, sharp edges and round curves

A lot of pairs Horikoshi puts together in which the characters are close (romantic or platonic) have some opposing features to them.

Gentle Crimimal and La Brava - tall and short, dark hair and light hair, one is more hands on and the other isn't

Eraser Head & Present Mic - quiet and loud, dark hair and light hair, close combat & long range

Bakugou's and Jiro's parents - quiet & loud, dark hair and light hair

It's his shtick.

But for Midoriya and Uraraka? They are just genderbend versions of each other!

That's really all I have to say here. And if you disagree, fine. Don't care for the input though, keep it to yourselves. (I say this because some of you are just damn disrespectful.)

I myself don't think IzuOcha is a bad ship, but I just don't think it's a ship Horikoshi has on his agenda. Let alone wants the audience to perceive them as "romantic" but as a "mirror".

Horikoshi recently revealed that Endeavor was supposed to die during the PLF war and that honestly validates something I've been feeling but couldn't quite articulate: "Horikoshi doesn't know who the central Todoroki is" (or he does, but he changed it halfway through to the worse option)

Endeavor dying would have been AMAZING if Shoto were the central character in the Todoroki subplot. The main reason this is so is that Endeavor would be out of the way. Shoto would have full reigns on how he wants to handle Touya (the "final villain" of the Todoroki subplot), and the rest of the family can play a role in this as a supporting cast.

However, Shoto is NOT the central character in the Todoroki subplot. Or, at least, he used to be, but he's not anymore. He's not allowed to have a final fight with Touya because Touya needs to still confront Endeavor. Regardless of how that fight ends, whether it's Shoto saving his brother or knocking him out, Shoto isn't allowed to end the conflict until Touya and Endeavor interact.

At the start of the series, it was really obvious that Shoto was the central figure (and was our pov character) for his family drama. During the sports festival, HE'S the one who shared the backstory. The flashbacks are framed around what HE saw. HE is the one taking a step forward to fix his family, and it starts with reconciling with his mom. At this point, Endeavor is what I'll call "the instigator". He is the cause for the family drama, and though we may not know Touya at this point, Endeavor has already released the future final boss of the subplot into the world.

In the Pro Hero arc, Endeavor becomes his own central figure as a pov character into the world of pros. He then overlaps with the Todoroki subplot by wanting to atone and remove himself from the role of the instigator. The thing is, he can't. What was done cannot be undone, and the most he can do at this point is try to make things better for his family moving forward. At this point, he and Shoto can coexist as central figures because the final boss has not yet been introduced.

The second Touya confirmed his identity, either Endeavor or Shoto had to stop being the central figure. Having Touya need to fight two heroes before being able to come to any end just feels sloppy, and since Shoto was given the first fight, it makes him seem like the less important figure. Even Touya doesn't care! He spends a good chunk of the fight talking about how he'd rather fight Endeavor. This makes Endeavor into the central figure as he is now the one to end the fight. HE'S the one the final boss has been waiting for, not Shoto.

The thing is, this started as Shoto's story, so it would have made sense for it to end as Shoto's story as well. Even if it meant killing Endeavor to force Shoto to be the ONLY central figure (probably to Touya's dismay) it would have allowed Shoto the space he needed to lead the ending he deserved, rather than be pushed to a side character.

TL;DR Endeavor surviving forced Shoto into the role of a supporting character in a plot line that started as SHOTO'S plot line.

Not very surprised tbh, it did feel like the PLF war should have been the end of Endeavor, leaving Shouto and Touya struggling with lack of closure and abrupt end of a prominent relationship. Grief mixed with love, hate and anger. Learning to move on. Turning their eyes to each other.

The way HK struggled to give a good role to Endeavor in the Dark Deku arc and the contrived way of making 2 fights.

Tbh, I think Endeavor dying would have served the plot better. Would have had an incredibly big loss for the hero side. Could have been a fantastic end to his own arc - understanding his own father’s sacrifice and his own screwed up concept of fatherhood and strength.

Would have given more breathing space for the rest of the family to be reborn from the ashes.

[neonscandal]

explain to me how bakugo is traumatized. the kid he grew up with was nice to him once and he immediately came to the conclusion that he should die. that's not trauma, that's being insane.

I'm going to start with the fact that, justifiably, there's never a reason to tell someone to kill themselves. Additionally, note that me saying Bakugo is traumatized does not mean that Midoriya is also not traumatized.

Regarding your question, the trauma that I mentioned on a recent ask, (I assume this one prompted your question) referenced the following:

Captured by the Slime Villain, effectively bound and suffocated in front of an audience (doesn't include the fall out after being someone who is publicly assaulted)

Muzzled, bound and robbed of autonomy in front of a national audience at the Sports Festival

Kidnapped and bound by the LOV (the forcible binding is recurrent through all the above)

Don't really have to go into the swath of issues he and Class 1A likely can and do develop from being child pawns in a war of adults but that can be applied as well re: survivor's guilt, PTSD, paranoia from the mole, etc. from the PLF arc and up until current manga events (I didn't feel like a spoiler warning).

Things that people don't tend to capture in the box of Bakugo's characterization:

He comes from a verbally and physically abusive household, demonstrably (you can jump down to the second paragraph of Bakugo's Strengths listed here for my thoughts on that impact)

Forced to defend himself against older kids from a young age and possibly on a recurring basis, as referenced in the above image. We could probably chalk the confrontation up to a consequence of his false overconfidence, sure. But does that justify 4th graders ganging up on what looks like a kindergartener/first grader?

As for Bakugo and Midoriya's relationship, we don't have much to go on. We know they were close and amicable as kids, things likely went to shit when Midoriya didn't develop a quirk, there's some beetle excursion in the woods that Bakugo refers back to a lot which is pending further context for readers/viewers, and then there's a fall in the river which really soured relations as Bakugo misinterpreted genuine kindness for condescension (see home life and such above). Again, none of this justifies the bullying we see at the start of the series or the way their interactions have shocking physical components. But what I do find interesting is that I've previously likened Bakugo's disposition to Endeavors but, in retrospect, I think he's a strong parallel for Dabi too.

Dabi's rage stems from being robbed of what he thinks is his inalienable birthright as the oldest son and heir to Endeavor's legacy. He disproportionately targets Shouto as the usurper of what is rightfully his. Dabi's claim, of course, makes more sense from a traditional and, probably, cultural standpoint. But the reason I mention it is that I don't think Bakugo was constantly telling Midoriya to take a swan dive off a roof. It doesn't forgive the bullying but it contextualizes why, that day, the bullying reached a new height when Midoriya was outed for still trying to get into UA. Bakugo saw this as an immediate threat to his position because, even though he didn't admit it at the time, if anyone could get into UA, quirkless or not, Bakugo knew Midoriya could.

Just as Midoriya has always seen Bakugo as being heroic and capable of being number 1, Midoriya proves time and time again that, even without a quirk, he's got the spirit of a hero and is successful in spaces where Bakugo is not. As the story progresses, we see evidence and the ultimate manifestation of Bakugo's remorse through his apology and other ways he's softened up. I'm not saying he wasn't a little shit but that's also not all he was (IDK if you've met kids but... without healthy socialization they can be little emotional terrorists). As things have unfolded, we see that, internally, Bakugo uses thoughts of Midoriya to galvanize his path forward and we've recently confirmed that when Bakugo spoke to Kirishima about strength... he was referring to Midoriya, you can scroll down to paragraphs around the last picture. I'm just gleeful about calling it. But, suffice it to say they've both been looking to one another this whole time.

There are still periphery pieces of their background missing because the story is largely from Midoriya's perspective. I don't think we'll get a comprehensive backstory but I think there will be some sort of meaningful explanation behind the beetle trip that may inform why Bakugo ultimately misinterpreted things so poorly at the river. I mean, maybe it's as simple as the fact that he couldn't fathom kindness because it's something not typically afforded to those who are perceived as strong. I don't know but I look forward to finding out.

I have no idea if Im understanding this wrong, but wouldn't removing Tomura's "lump of lead" or blockage etc release AFO again?

This is Tomura's "lump of lead" that's been mentioned since like MVA. And ngl I’m sad about the coolest vestige thing mentioned thus far being something bad to have.

But when the blockage got "removed" during the PLF war arc, AFO appeared and began his attempt to bodysnatch Tomura

Tomura's vestige space also looked much more similar to Izuku's after this merge too. Its all empty and boring looking now.

And, when Tomura Shigaraki came back, so did this lump of lead inside him. So if this blockage got removed (again), how do we know it will only work in Izuku's favor, and not in AFO's favor as well? The whole point of removing this stuff is to make Tomura more susceptible and be defeated (and this method has been shown to work bc AFO already did it once before).

AFO and the OFA vestiges seem to have similar plans at this point on how to handle Tomura. Both plans even had that unexpected effect of a blending (ex: AFO & Tomura, Izuku & Tomura memories). Literally how is Tomura still ok

And despite getting rid of AFO's vestige, Tomura STILL has the AFO quirk, which makes me wonder if All for One is truly "gone," or if he is just being blocked again behind that “lump of lead”. This "lump of lead" is detrimental to Tomura, but I like the idea that it IS protecting him from something -- like blocking out AFO and the OFA vestiges from reaching Tomura's origin.

Just in a very unhealthy manner lol

Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense?? I’m trying to sort my thoughts on everything rn
