A look back at the family in ashes.

MHA has the distinct issue with the fact it's one guy writing it with a few editors chipping in, I think a lot of Manga and Anime could avoid some of their issues with just not expanding and using concepts.

Like there is so much in MHA that could have more done with it, there are more characters then there is time, there are 20 Students in the class, but I don't think we even know the reason they wanted to become heroes, what are the motivations for half of them?

Heroism has become this sort of sport in a way, competitive and there are so many of them, they have a ranking system, from memory, No Other Series Has a Ranking System For Heroes, because they don't need them, all other series have your Listers, A, B, C, D, there is no numerical title, and what the fuck does it mean to be No.1.

See that's what I want to see, why the fuck does being No.1 matter? And who better to ask that question in verse by Shoto, a victim of this sport, him and his brothers breed like Pokémon for their fathers selfish ambition to a title that in the long terms is really meaningless, a target really, what is being No.1 if anything but a status symbol, a don't fuck with me sign, the get out of jail free card. Like seriously did anyone ever explain what the fuck being number one even meant?

Why the fuck do Katsuki and Izuku even want that title, they just want it to be the best?

What I would have loved to see but I am so disappointed that we didn't get was MHA's version of Young Justice's Disordered, a final reflection and dissection's of the characters, the Todoroki's are their worlds version of the Wayne family.

Show me why Shoto is the better version of Endeavour, not just in power but who he is as a person, someone better, he wouldn't want anyone to endeavor what he and his family went through, he is MHA's Dick Grayson so desperate to become nothing like his father, taking the best parts of him making himself better, stable not one to create his own legacy through a child. He doesn't want another him, another Natsou, Fuyumi or Touya, he doesn't want another Endeavour as that name isn't a symbol of Enji's desire to become No.1 to Endeavor through everything that life throws, but no.

Endeavor isn't his title, it is badge of shame, it's not his. Endeavor is the title of the family, to hold out against him, Rei was endeavoring so much pain from seeing her family burn around her, eldest burning.

Fuyumi was holding out for the hope of a normal life, one she could enjoy and share with her family.

Natsou was holding out for the day he could leave to become his own person as far away from his family as he could.

Shoto Endeavored to even become himself he lost his childhood, but you can't lose something you never had.

And Touya, that poor boy so wide eyed and simply wanting his fathers love, his father to save him, but he burned his father frozen watching him, only to be saved by a demon who walked out of the flame.

This is MHA's Batfamily, and Touya has so much in common with Jason it hurts, they both just wanted their Father to save them, but they burned, Bruce tried to save Jason but he couldn't Enji froze, the two were brought back by demons, and had no qualms about murder, to kill to get that attention after they lost a portion of their lives.

But they never explore that, Horikoshi has had several chances to ask, how does it feel to die and be revived, to lose that time, but he never has.

If he had a few other writers to conifer with, you'd get something truly interesting, MHA needed more time in the oven, it has the hallmarks of a truly interesting story, but really didn't get the time to develop, so much was left unanswered, unwritten and unresolved, the status at the end of the series is the same, yeah it gets slightly better, but does it.

We still have people wanting to become heroes, we still have the rankings we still have people gunning for first, and what's that going to do?

Create another Todoroki family, and with Quirk Singularity that oversight of Hubris is going to start festering again, it may not be from the demon in the shadows, but rather the man in the mirror repeating the same mistakes that one man driven by the selfish desire for first made.

And this time they won't be facing Touya with an equal, but they might be facing Magneto with no answer.

YES YES YES

SALMON!

can you draw this ship (i just thought of it): james x arthur

I got you😉

I don’t know much about Arthur but I tried my best😅

I’d say it came out okay

Bow or be blinded.

Tokoyami gets his gender switched and his Quirk inverted and her immediate reaction is to just own it. "I am your goddess now, bow before me, peasants!"

I know My Hero Academia Smash!! isn't canon, but I accept 'Tokoyami is genderfluid/non-binary/transgender' as canon on principle. Homeboy/girl is rocking this.

I actually just do this my notes second at the bottom of the chapters just includes all the references I make to shit.

I don't know how much I need to include, so I do most if not all of it.

Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.

As you can see I did some shitpost making today.

WOOOH WOH WOH, repeat that last part to me?

Trains, absolutely Autism.

Dandadan is the most autistic love story ever. They became friends because they took a chance on each other’s special interests and ended up daydreaming about discussing the other’s with them. They couldn’t care less what others think of them but they can’t stand when the other gets slandered. They got jealous of each other because of characters who would be the main character if this was any other anime. She Even Knows About Trains.

One thing too note is that we have no idea what information he actually sent to the LOV, from what I can ascertain his primary ask was to identify who Midoriya was closest with, to have them kidnapped, act as bargaining, obviously they knew that they wanted Bakugou after his sports festival performance, but note that Toga seems to have been sent after Uraraka specifically.

So I think that Yuga was tasked with finding who Izuku was closest with, he easily knew Katsuki, they were pretty open about them being childhood friends, and then he get's himself conformation that Ochaco likes Izuku, and he knows it's two ways, so he gives that info over, and who do the LOV target to Kidnap/Attack?

Ochaco and Katsuki.

Aoyama knowing that Bakugou would get kidnapped at the summer training camp is such an interesting thought

When they learned about their final exams, and he saw who Bakugou was paired with, and who he's going against, Aoyama had to have felt hope that they'll lose miserably and Bakugou wouldn't be at the camp. And then they passed
