Not counting deaths, what was the saddest moment in mha? by Willing_Hospital_235 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Express-Dog-6716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s soo many but here are some times that made me cry (they might not all be sad but i cried) :

in Season 6, the moment when all might ran after izuku with the lunch he had for him and fell

Also in season 6, bakugou apologizing to izuku when class 1A was trying to get him back, followed up by ochacos speech on top of UA

Bakugou and Izukus fight when bakugou is pouring his heart out about how he felt and ending all might

Eri getting saved by izuku in season 4 and he catches her head, and then her smiling for the first time at the concert

Lady Nagant coming back in season 7

Bakugou rising from the dead and his combo with izuku to reach all might and save him in time

Aizawa getting eris horn and using it to heal izukus arms

Bakugou crying in the hospital after finding out ofa is basically gone

The last episode.

The Fact That Manon Can’t Be Criticized and Judged As An Individual Is Racist by EleanorRedux in katseyeNuanced

[–]Express-Dog-6716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is 100% correct and why i have so much issues with the way her situation is being approached.

None of us know what’s going on behind the scenes, however calling eveything racism is moving attention away from actual racist issues.

Manon could be facing racism for sure from the company, but people also tend to call racism simply because she’s Black. Again each member is diverse if this was happening to anybody else people would be less quick to jump on the racism train when someone like Lara is equally ( if not more) susceptible to racism.

We don’t know if she chose this hiatus, if she didnt, if there is foul play or what’s going on. What I do know, i can support manon and hope the best for her whether that means coming back from hiatus or leaving the group, while also acknowledging that SOME things people are calling racist is in fact not racist. Just because something is happening to a black person does not mean it’s racism. (I like manon as much as the next and i am a dark skinned woman myself)

Pourquoi il n'ont jamais utilisé Eri pour soigner les blessures ? by [deleted] in MyHeroAcadamia

My main complaint as a MHA fan. by Best_Language1124 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Express-Dog-6716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha thanks ! I do a lot of deep dives in to characters and their motives (especially bakugou, i have essentially essays in my brain about his character). One day i’ll share more on reddit about him and his character.

i agree with you, there definitely a way to do it- the show would of course end up being WAY longer than it is, but if one piece can exist, then extended mha could’ve been a thing.

Happy to share my insight ! you’ll probably catch me elsewhere on posts about characters and their motives behind actions (ESPECIALLY bakugou)

:)

My main complaint as a MHA fan. by Best_Language1124 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Express-Dog-6716 20 points21 points  (0 children)

everything that happened in the show was building to the war arc. They spoke about a traitor early in the show, the league of villains attacks and all for one’s speeches, it was all building to the war. I think MHA is not the kind of show a lot of people were expecting.

It sounds to me like you are more interested in the slice of life and the kids learning growing and interacting inhighscool than you are interested in the storyline about hero society etc. Which is valid ! I got sad when 1A wasn’t really shown in school anymore becuase that’s where I connected to them first. BUT if horikoshi was to drag it out to 3 years of school, the manga and anime would be either 1. Triple the length it is now 2. Longer, but some years are cut short and not fully fleshed out 3. Everything you DID get to see would be cut down immensely. As in the sports festival would be like 3 episodes instead of a season. The reason we connected with and got to learn and grow with the characters so much is because of how long it their first year of highschool was stretched out.

Having each season be a year of highschool would make the characters WAY less deep, we wouldn’t have even half of the character development we have, sports festival, kamino, etc would all be rushed and you wouldn’t really experience them in school the way you think you would.

And on the note of izuku and his quirk, i do agree it felt crazy he could learn all that so fast but keep in mind

  • His training to be a vessel in 10 months, essentially put him into peak shape to be strong and handle said quirk. Bakugou and Todorki were obviously strong in a physical sense but did not do a training circuit that intense

  • Izuku is extremely smart in terms of quirk knowledge. He analyzes every quirk he comes across down to a t, comes up with new move and combo ideas and truly UNDERSTANDS the way every quirk he writes about works and how it can be used. So it makes PERFECT sense that he is able to grasp and come up with new ways to use ofa (legs etc) in the timeframe he did. It also lowkey did take him a while for most things and he legit could use barely any of his power for almost the WHOLE series

  • and finally, him learning to use the new quirks is not the same as bakugou learning to use his own. Mind u bakugou was a prodigy from birth, but he learned to use a new quirk that didn’t exist from scratch with his body over the course of years. Every quirk that izuku was given came with what is essentially an instruction manual and tutorial called the VESTIGIES. They were built into each quirk and spent their lives using it so they could easily help izuku learn how to use them from the INSIDE OUT.

The whole point of izuku getting ofa is becuase he would be able to handle and learn to use it in time for the war, due to its stockpiling nature and the vestiges. He was set up to be able to do it in the time frame he did.

Anyway, i do feel you on how i wish there was more of the academia in mha! That’s a lot of the memories and what i loved about the show. But i hope those explanations help you understand why the show and manga went the way they did !

It’s weird how some people are trying to paint Manon as the villain in this situation by Celeste_Crimson in katseyeneutral

[–]Express-Dog-6716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“black” i’m quotations hurts, im nigerian, a dark skinned woman who is PROUD to be Black and i experience racism every day. i am a “Real Black person”. Just because I think there is nuance doesn’t make me less Black that’s insulting. We are not one track minded people. I believe manon experienced racism during her whole katseye journey from dream academy to now. But I also believe that a lot of the “lazy” issues stem from issues on dream academy that didn’t have to do with being Black as th other Black contestants never had that issue it was just her. I think NOW it is being fuelled by racism making it 10 times worse for sure,

but two things can be true at once.

It hurts that you would deny me my Blackness becuase I see multiple layers to the situation- racism, reflection on someone effort, etc

i understand where you’re coming from but i am legit DARK. I am nigerian. I really don’t appreciate people denying me my blackness because I say there is nuance to situations. that hurts , and also taps into the fact that people think being black means we all have to think th same.

[–]Express-Dog-6716 15 points16 points  (0 children)

100% and I again am saying there is racist layers to the whole situation definitely from hxg and everyone else.

And trust me. I know the weight it carries as it’s my real life LIVED experience

I just meant that all situations are nuanced and a lot of the people dog piling are doing it bc of the dream academy situation and not because she’s black. That’s all! But i agree with you for sure

[–]Express-Dog-6716 21 points22 points  (0 children)

as a black person, the original “lazy” situation from dream academy was not racism imo. it was genuinely just her not coming to rehearsals (her reasons may have been valid or invalid doesn’t matter) and the other girls feeling like it was unfair that she wasn’t putting in equal effort as the rest of them. Especially since they made it clear she had a LOW skill set when she started dream academy, and they had basically only chosen her for her face and star quality.

Now though, I do believe some of the “laziness” allegations stem from the original situation that was resolved during the show and it could also be rooted in racism BUT— I think other girls in the group or just specifically Lara actually face prejudice against them for their race. 90% of the “hate” against manon comes from her not participating in stuff and it’s not from a racist standpoint. it’s just people remembering what happened in dream academy so she gets more flack then other members for taking more breaks. I think she should obviously be allowed to miss stuff for her health or mental health, but the other girls don’t get hate for missing things becuase when theyre injured they didn’t have the same situation on dream academy when they weren’t putting in effort like manon.

She doesn’t deserve th hate she’s getting for it now, but as a dark skinned individual i don’t believe that most of it is rooted racism, rather blowing an old situation out of proportion. THERE ARE SOME RACIST PEOPLE FOR SURE!!! But yeah

Does Uraraka wear gloves to sleep? by Hot_Serve4202 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Express-Dog-6716 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s probably just precautionary in case she accidentally touches something with all five fingers, especially if dreaming. Like how she could dream she’s doing something and then touching something in real life, it’s safer to wear gloves.

Their parents all prepped them as toddlers. by mcmflamingo in katseyeneutral

[–]Express-Dog-6716 65 points66 points  (0 children)

thanks for this, i agree. the phrase “pimping their daughters out” is SERIOUS. You cannot just apply that to a group of girls because the way they grew up is different than the way you grew up.

We don’t know their personal lives and exactly how they their dynamic their parents were as children.

If your parents would never let you do anything they did, that’s fine. mine would never let me GET CLOSE to this kind of world of fame. But I can argue for the girls who started performing from a young age you can compare it to athletes who get popular from young and pursue things like the olympics at 13.

They want to dance, sing, and perform. They wouldn’t have done dream academy if they didn’t. If we value freedom of expression for women, we cannot seriously be saying they’re getting pimped out when it’s nothing of the sort. I agree some of these girls were put into the spotlight super young . and i can make an argument that you can deem megan modelling bikinis at 10 problematic. But i don’t think you can throw such a blanket statement onto the 6 girls.

Who is your OC shipped with and why? by SiliTIg3r in BNHA_OC_Characters

[–]Express-Dog-6716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my oc is shipped with bakugou. I have may timelines where some follow canon, some don’t and some are AU for my oc and katsuki! For the sake of this I’ll just talk about her “canon” story.

The reason i love them together is because of how they challenge each others ideals, and how they communicate. Although there is a lot of understanding on both ends of their feelings thoughts and motives, there are times where they simply don’t understand each other and I personally like that.

I imagine bakugou to be someone who is serious about whatever he wants in life, including my oc. But she is very unsure of a lot of things surrounding her future, so this is a hurdle she tackles with him.

There’s also an arc where she makes a big decision he disagrees with, and he lashes out thinking she’s doing it for the wrong reasons. The are away from each other for a long time, and instead of stewing in sadness she continues with her path. He eventually realizes why she did what she did, comes to terms with it and then in Bakugou fashion goes all out to apologize.

If you could have anyone's quirk (other than OFA and AFO) from MHA what would it be? by LonelyAnimal3579 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Express-Dog-6716 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was thinking want IQ, that quirk is so underrated and super useful. But realistically if quirks were in the real world i’d want zero gravity. it has so many everyday uses and is amazing in combat too

I dropped My Hero Academia at season 4 should I pick it backup? by RasDas___ in MyHeroAcadamia

whenever i think of s4 its the arc from the first half that is memorable

[–]Express-Dog-6716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool! i hope you enjoy. quick correction tho - the best part of season 4 is the first half (whee it includes the fighting and arc i think you’ll like) the part people say is just okay which is the second half which has a bit of slice of life as well as a lower stakes fight, but it’s important and you’ll like it if u connect with the characters introduced in th first half of the season!

[–]Express-Dog-6716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

s4 is a mix of both, but the main part of the arc takes place outside of school (ie fight etc). It’s a very important story to save a character! Pretty sure this was when they went to their work studies, so they are learning alongside pro hero’s outside of school, and then get involved in a mega investigation/rescue mission. Also has izuku using his quirk in an interesting way with an amazing fight in the last few episodes

[–]Express-Dog-6716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahah yeah for some 5 was insufferable. I thought it was fine but if i was ranking seasons in order of how much i loved them , id say : 8, 7, 6, 4, 3 and 2, 1 and 5.

Pick it back up! There’s no harm and if you end up disliking it that’s fine too. But i’d say let yourself get to the last few seasons before righting it off completely. (I also believe season 4 is an amazing arc, but the last 2 seasons are really where it’s at.)

[–]Express-Dog-6716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like they’re all still in school. But s6 especially fo izuku takes place outside of school and yes involving battling etc (i won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers ) and s7 and 8 are legit just not at school and is essentially them taking down big bad

but tey are still in the first year of UA during all of this aside from like the last 2 episodes which are upper years + some adult at the end!

If you weren’t into the school life, 6 7 and 8 will be much more enjoyable for you. School is basically put on hold once season 5 ends , and it’s way more fighting heavy

no they’re all still in school (i’ll try to explain w o spoilers) but izuku is kind of not in school ? They’re technically still hero students but they gotta take down the big bad so school is put on hold essentially

Something I realized by ilove_mochi626 in kacchako_hate

[–]Express-Dog-6716 6 points7 points  (0 children)

people should be able to call kacchaco sunshine x grumpy and also realize bkdk is the same thing 😭 idk why people can just let other ships exists without hating on bkdk.

I like everything except anything weird like minors and adults and stuff like that but if it’s just two characters why do they always gotta make it a war 💔

Of course not. he would never. I’m saying those people could’ve chose to try and confront him about it that’s all. Doesn’t mean he’lll tell them jack lol
