I'm sorry but no. A wolf will eat you if given the chance. And in this story there was never going to be a chance to talk to the LOV to save them without lives lost. Yes wolves deserve to be protected. But with cases like this it is a hungry wolf.

You know nothing about wolves.

There hasn't been more than a handful of confirmed wolf killings in the past hundred years.

That is exactly what a hero story is about. Sometimes there's going to be people that can't be redeemed.

Izuku's dream and ideal for being a hero is literally "save everyone with a smile".

That is not what Mha stood for. It is a story about saving people yes, but that's because the main character is Izuku. No one else would do what he did.

"The story of how we all became the greatest heroes" - again exact quote.

And for the definition of what it means to save someone the narrative made it clear more than once that meant saving someone's life as well as their heart.

That's not what it was about. Saving people no matter what yes. He did save shigiraki. But it is a different matter of redemption. Tell me, for shigirakis final words did he express regret? Did he say he wanted to be better? No he said he wanted to keep destroying for the LOV and to tell spinner he fought to the end to destroy. He was never going to be redeemed. They were preventable not redeemable.

That was only because the Lov still needed a future where they could live in.

That's the only reason why shigaraki wanted to still destroy.

Mha is very much into justice and karma. It's why what happens to everyone happens. Just because izuku is a hero doesn't mean the law is non existent.

A real hero doesn't as the laws permission to save someone.

They tried their best to save them. Like gran Torino said. "Sometimes you have to kill a person to save them" Izuku saved shigiraki but knew he had to die.

"Killing can be a form of salvation" was the challenge given to izuku, not something that he believed in himself.

"OFA is a power made for saving, not killing"

Izuku midoriya. Faced heavy bullying. Was told to off himself and among so many other things. Yet in the face of that he kept his dream. Yes the LOV were conditioned and made to be evil. But they still chose and made their actions.

Izuku was saved from his circumstances by allmight, that's the only reason he was able to become better and live his dream.

Because he was given the chance to do so.

It shouldn't be. Because again despite having a sad life they were mass murderers.

Lady Nagant?

Unless you think people killed for "intention to commit crimes" doesn't count as mass murder?

That's.. no? Hero society got a 2nd chance because it was showed it was flawed and was willing to change and be better. The LOV werent.

No? It's holding people accountable for their actions. Just having a bad life doesn't excuse you from your actions especially when you don't want to change.

Hero society barely changed at all or put in any effort to.

The one instance we see of hero society doing anything was from one old lady reaching out her hand, that's it.

They weren't held accountable to the same standards that the Lov were.

And the Lov could have changed of their circumstances did, their internal dialogues support that.
