They even have the same smile ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
thinking about the kudo family today. I mean I get that you guys love each other and are very famous but why would you abandon your child? He was barely even a teenager when you left him. No wonder he is out there, making flashy deductions, hungry to get some form of attention that is not from his best friend. Maybe he thinks that if he too is a celebrity like his mum and a famous detective like his father, they would love him more. They would visit him more. They would maybe finally stay.
It took Shinichi almost dying for them to return to Japan. Then they kidnap him, make him think he is going to die at the hands of people who tried to kill him earlier. After talking with him, they disappear again. No wonder Shinichi is the way he is right now.
There are many incompetent people unfit to be parents in the DCMK world, but the Kudos are definitely in the Top 3 after the Kurobas who take the cake for being the worst parents ever in the world of DCMK.
It's exactly like you said Pizrad: Attraction + subtraction + energy storage… but if it didn't only have the aspect of subtraction of AFO but also had the element of transfer of it?…
Thinking ahead, let's say if Izuku continued for a while storing small amounts of energy from various people (either unwittingly at first and then asking permission to do so from people with trouble handling their overly powerful quirks) until he had enough and needed to draw out the excess from his reserves and then had the ability to transfer this excess quirk energy to others, how do you think that would work? For example, if he gave his mother a small quirk boost, remember 'attraction of small objects', then she wouldn't need so many hand movements to attract said objects or she could now attract not only one but several or even larger objects. Do you think it would be like a simple momentary caffeine rush, or would it be something long-lasting? And if it was long-lasting, would that allow people with "weak quirks" (let's take for example some of Izuku's former classmates from Aldera Junior High School)
Well, other young people like these could enter the UA hero course as long as they show Izuku that they deserve to become heroes, right?
That and Izuku's ability to analyze quirks would make him a kind of mentor like All Might or better (like Gran Torino that old man taught Izuku more in a few days than Yagi in months) to help train one or even several future heroes!
That would be my vision for the future if my theory was true and if not, then at least I gave you enough material for fanfics, right?
BUT I STILL BELIEVE IN DAD FOR ONE!
DAD FOR ONE FOREVER!
i can't look away from this car crash.
the inconsistencies with the story we read for 400+ chapters, the hopelessness around Izuku's entire character, deeming bkdk's dynamic entirely useless after all the effort to set them up as the 'wonder duo', 'the ultimate rivals' -- and then? What is this? was it all to waste?
where is Izuku defending his dream? where is his ambition to become the #1 hero? if what he wants to do now is teach, you have to show me that!! you should've shown me that sooner! Show me an Izuku who is admired by his teachers (AM, Aizawa, GT...) not because they're heroes, but because he admires how they teach and now he longs to become a mentor as well. Then, maybe, this whole shift in his perspective would make more sense. But the thing is:
Izuku loved his mentors because they were heroes. Not because they were teachers.
(teaching is the noblest profession do not come for me -- all I'm saying is: this is not consistent with his character!)
If he loves being a teacher now, I'm not seeing that, either! I'm not seeing a deep desire to help kids (like Tenko) to make better decisions or have better opportunities.
All I see is a depressed twenty-something boy with dead-eyes and office-shoes. If I wanted to see that, I'd read literally anything else!
Where is Izuku? Where did his character go? what happened to his personality? Where is my shōnen manga MC? the kid who cleaned a beach with his bare hands and no quick, fueled by the ambition to become a hero? if that drive was there before the quick, it surely should be there long after the embers burned out...
it pains me, because it feels as though everything else that happened in this story was for nothing. it collapses on itself and becomes pointless. If the message was that once you grow up you should give up on your dreams--well, then call me Katsuki 'cause I don't even know what to say to that! What kind of shit message is that?
If the message is that you should do the best with your circumstances, Izuku is still not doing that! He could be a hero again now. He has the suit, he had an opening, an offer, even. But he still didn't want it. He's settling. It's mediocre. I hate it. I hate this for him. And I hate it if this is what he's become.
Also, I was not about to be queerbaited by a shōnen manga. I've been around the block and I knew what to expect. But maybe even so I was too naïve, because what they did to bkdk's relationship goes beyond the ship, it fundamentally kills their bond.
How am I supposed to interpret Katsuki not only working for nearly a decade in order to get Izuku his suit, then waiting for Izuku to be a hero again and then WAITING AGAIN to invite Izuku to join his agency, rejecting all other prospects because it was always Izuku, always Deku, the one he wanted by his side as a partner -- and I'm supposed to be okay with Izuku never acknowledging this? Rejecting Katsuki's proposal without a thought? That is not Izuku. And it's a disservice to the friendship they spent 400+ chapters rebuilding, the rivalry I was shown from day one.
There were so many better ways to address their dynamic, even if there was a shift in it due to Izuku becoming a teacher or whatever. If Katsuki was to be rejected and disappointed in the end, you might as well have left him dead, for there was no purpose to his character after that without their rivalry. (by this I mean, you set up their dynamic to be a duality. One can't exist without the other. If you are going to change your mind, tell the audience! Show the audience! there was no buildup for this. is sloppy. is mediocre again.
anyways i obviously care about this. I wanna look away but i can't. I can't. I've spent years of my life loving these characters, learning from them, following their story. I thought they'd have a better send-off. I thought their creator understood the characters (he gave us every sign that he did).
I thought the ending would be consistent and good, like most of the story was, and it hurts to be proven wrong, especially when it's not only bad, but painfully, regrettably mediocre, which is the worst fate a beloved piece of media can get.
Izuku said He Feels at Ease When Someone Holds His Hand.
Now we know that All for One is a Quirk capable of stealing or copying other Quirks and transferring them to whoever he wants or keeping them and using them if the user wants and we also know that he gave his supposedly Quirkless brother a gift of power accumulation… ok? Well that's when I saw this…
"Just holding hands soothes the heart."
Izuku says again that the simple act of holding hands calms the heart because it works for him, holding hands with his friends calms him down and makes him feel good.
Well, so far so good.
That's where THIS comes in…
It is then that Izuku can somehow feel the embers rekindling.
When his other friends arrive, Kacchan walks in and asks Izuku about the embers... "They flew you over here, but… are the embers okay?"
To which Izuku replies "Yeah" Because yes, the embers are so good that they burn again... And no, it was not the "Magic of Friendship" nor the "Power of Love" nor the "Izuocha"
then I was like...
Naniiiii? But what the hell happened here?! and I remembered the following...
Yeap! Izuku's hands in volume 417, and that's when it occurred to me that what a fucking genius Horikoshi-sensei is.
Well, now we all know that AFO steals quirks by touching his victims with his hands due to the holes in them that seem to absorb said quirks, right? ok, have you figured out where I'm going?… AFO is Izuku's father! YES!
So even though here it doesn't look like Izuku has the same holes as AFO, there does seem to be light in what would appear to be said holes, but that's because instead of absorbing Quirks, Izuku only absorbs energy, like the Quirk that AFO imposed on his brother stores energy and like AFO absorbs said power! So if when Izuku touched Uraraka's hand he absorbed part of the power of her quirk to revive the embers, wouldn't that mean that Izuku inherited AFO's mutated quirk somehow? Well you can say that Izuku would need the holes to absorb the power but do we remember what his mother Inko's quirk is? Attraction of small objects and she uses the movement of her hands to attract them, so if we add both quirks Izuku wouldn't need the holes, it would be a combination, and he would attract the power of the quirks just by putting his hands on people. And again you could refute me, "But Izuku has touched a lot of people with his hands" and I'll answer, Yes, but he was wearing gloves and it seems like he only activated his quirk recently in volume 417 of the manga by the looks of it since it's the first time those lights appeared on his BARE hands WITHOUT gloves, so Horikoshi, you damn genius, is this your way of revealing Dad For One in a plot twist at the end of the manga? Or am I just overthinking it?! Whatever it is, I'm happily sticking with this DFO theory!
Come on, the guy practically told him again that without a quirk he is completely USELESS as a hero, unless he has enough money to build himself a super mega expensive mechanical suit that emulates all the quirks he lost, as if that skinny 14 year old quirkless boy who started his training on Dagobah beach hadn't lifted a 255 kg All Might on his back or dragged a huge refrigerator along the coast with said 255 kg man on top!
If a quirk is a tool then why would he need an exorbitantly priced multi-quirk emulator armor to be a hero?! Well I'm just say that: "You don't need a super power or a fancy and expensive mechanical suit, If you have the strength, the intelligence, the cunning and the heart to do it Then YOU CAN BE A HERO TOO!"
Many in fandom can't get over messed up ending of MHA. I got messages from people who are upset. And i can get their feeling. In this post i will try to explain why Mechanical suit given by All Might in the end doesn't make sense at all. Lets get started.
1. Ruined message of all manga. During all manga narration show us that hero could be everybody and id doesn't matter what quirk you have or your status. All you need is ure hard and hardworking. 430 chapter totally ruined that. Telling us that unless you have strong quirk or millionare friends you will be a loser with no friends and job where you unhappy (remember how in 430 chapter Izuku still have sad face and look unhappy). More interesting is that Izuku doesn't do anything to be a hero without a quirk ( Hello spinoff with a better plot). He just walks with sad face with no friends no goal in life. Until SUDDENLY All Might appears and give him a suit out of nowhere. Do you get what i am trying to say? OFA Izuku earned and it was shown in manga. Mechanical suit Izuku doesn't earn at all. He doesn't even try to be a hero without quirk.
Also, Izuku looks like a big hypocrite to that boy Dai(i forgot his name). He just tells Dai he can be a hero with a weak quirk in order to get a millionare suit, immediately abandon his job neing teacher and join his friends....Wow. Izuku...you hate your job so much? Dai, sweetie, i am sorry for all that. You could be a hero, if Horikoshi has a better writing skills or better and strong editor.
2. Horikoshi makes all looks like his favorite comics DC and Marvel and doesn't aknowledge the writing background.
So many people see that Izuku become new Iron man of MHA. Horikoshi several times stated that he loves Marvel Spiderman and Tony Stark. He wants to make MHA just like Marvel and DC and thats the major problem. He doesn't want to analyze writing background his favorite characters has in Marvel. He just copied and added without questions.
The same thing with Mechanical suit. Horikoshi just thinks that it would be a good thing to make Izuku new Tony Stark. Now let me explain why it doesn't work. What writing background Tony Stark has
1. Tony Stark is a billionaire with high Intelligence. No Fairy GodMother appear out of nowhere and give him suit. Tony Stark literally make his first suit out of trash by his own hands!!!! He literally make himself a hero by using his brain. It works in narrative.
Izuku on the other hand as i mentioned above, just has a Fairly Godmother aka All Might who give him suit.
2. Tony Stark has a several breaking points. I saw in fandom that many people were craving for Izuku has a breakdown moment. Izuku doesn't have that. He just walks with sad face, pretending to be happy. But nothing....
Tony Stark was fighting with alcoholism!!! Because of stress being Iron Man and his inner demons!!
3. Most Important detail. Mechanical suit given by Izuku was inventing by 8 f%%$ years! One suit!!! Do you see a problem here?
Lets imagine that Izuku faces villain who can control technology. What could he do in that moment? Or lets imagine that Izuku faces villain like AFO (with strong quirk i mean) and his suit is crushed. What he is gonna do next? Walking with gloomy face again waiting for another 8 years for All Might to appear? Do you see problem? Mechanical suit doesn't make sense. Even All Might example proves that..because his Mechanical suit handle 1 fight!!! 1 fight Carl. And was total crushed!!!
Add to this Izukus self-destructive behavior and you will understand that this Mechanical suit will have a very short life. These billions dollars could be given to poor ill children instead it would be more heroic than this
Tony Stark on the other hand has 100500 suit that were crashed!!! Yes! Tony Stark has several versions of suits. Many were crushed! But as i mentioned before Tony Stark is highly intelligent character by himself he is independent and him wearing suit is a logical thing. Unlike Izuku...
To summarize, i am very disappointed by ending and by Izuku getting that damn suit. Horikoshi is a terrible writer. But smth tells me that he planned totally different ending but Jump forbidded and he was forced to make a different ending. Because 430 chapter so wrong written, whith ZERO edition, with no sense at all. That i feel it was written in one week literally or one day. But original ending was thrown out of windows. Thank to Jump.
Come on, if Izuku isn't Yoichi's nephew, I'll eat expired yogurt! 🥛🥄 And I'm lactose intolerant! 🤢
I just wanted to take a few steps, get in there, stretch out my arms, grab those 4 and RUN WITH THEM STRAIGHT TO OUR NEW HOME! IT DIDN'T MATTER IF SECURITY WAS CHASING ME I WOULD HAVE LOST THEM ZIGZAGGING! BUAHHAHAHA!(つ✧ω✧)つ THEY ARE MY BABIES! MINE AND ONLY MINE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!(@▽@)
I just know… I don't want to see them animate 431, I hope they stick to 430, my desire to see the end of Bnha animated has completely faded (ب_ب)
Some people I know told me that 431 is the perfect ending just because (SUPPOSEDLY) Izuku ended up staying with Ochako, they don't understand that Izuku practically threw away his character growth by turning his back on Katsuki.
I said to them: "What happened to Izuku's dreams then? What happened to the Izuku who told his Kacchan: ‘’All Might was my hero, but you were the one actually in my life!’’ Then Izuku saying 'No' to Katsuki when he asked him to join his agency makes no sense! It's a setback of EPIC proportions!…
That's without forgetting the problems with the drawings themselves, there are several mistakes that we know Horikoshi would never make, like the characteristic face in All Might's signature, Kirishima's hand, the differences in the drawings of the new mecha suit between 430 and 431, and many more things, thinking deeply about it I think Horikoshi only drew one frame of that chapter, one page I would say maybe if I want to be magnanimous enough, but I don't think so!" (눈‸눈)•••
anyway continue: "if people like you are going to say that an ending is good just because of the SUPPOSED pairing, then they don't really know how to appreciate what a good work is or the story behind it and they just like it because it's what they expected to see… people like that shouldn't wave their opinion like it was a flag as if they had won the war because of a simple TINY detail, if you are going to give your opinion, do it yes, but put something behind it to back it up!, as they say in exams: "Put your answer and JUSTIFY IT!". Don't just talk for the sake of talking!, 431 is far from being the perfect ending, 431 doesn't even end with a true declaration of love for the Izuocha, wake up!, if it were then by shaking hands like that I would already be dating you, the PRESUMPTIVE chapter 431 is just the failed attempt to please simple people like you!"
That's what I told them and now those people don't even talk to me anymore ಠ﹏ಠ
If people are going to go crazy over 431 while it's still manga, then I don't want to see how they'll go when they anime that chapter! ತ_ತ
That being said, I definitely don't want to see when they anime the end of Bnha! Because of 431 I realized I'm friendless! (ノT_T)ノ ^┻━┻
