Hope you enjoy!!

I can't believe togachako are legitimately centers of the final war...the power of yuri is so real...

we used to laugh as though we both were little kids

well at least you loved me when you did

This is a preview of my first post (that will be posted eventually, I promise)🎹🦖

My Hero Academia is a popular Japanese anime about a super-human society. About 80% of the population has a power of which they call a quirk. Although being able to fly or heal for example seems to be very exciting, these abilities dictate the course of the character's life. This is seen especially in the tragically beautiful and beautifully tragic character, Himiko Toga.

This isn’t really an analysis, more of a theory..

In Indigo Park, every mascot’s name starts with the same letter as their animal:

Rambley=Raccoon

Mollie=Macaw

Salem=Skunk

Lloyd=Lion

But Finley is just “sea serpent”. First of all, that’s the only creature that doesn’t exist irl. Second, the first letter of his name doesn’t match his animal.

I think that Finley is definitely a fish, and originally he was just called “Finley the fish”. But then SOMETHING happened to all the animals, and then Finley just didn’t look like a fish anymore. This is why he isn’t a real animal.

I’m confused… who’s Rem?

Rewatching Re:Zero again, for various reasons, and I really want to take a closer look at it because it's been stuck in my head for such a long time. (It's actually the first scene I ever watched!)

Going back to the Rem Infodump, well- this is part of the reason I think Rem's definitely not stopping her character development. From the beginning, we get the message from this story that self sacrifice without any reward is not something someone should be satisfied with.

And this is extremely interesting because of what we learn later on- that despite all the physical pain, Ram was relieved that her horn broke. She didn't regret it, and only Rem was hurt by it emotionally.

I wonder if she ever properly talked to Rem about it? I wonder if she knew how to do that. I wonder if Rem ever knew how it felt to hold the pressure the clan was putting on her sister...

Ram's only guilt here comes from how it hurt Rem.

And then Ram asks Subaru who he'd prefer to be friends with, and I realized something pretty interesting.

These describe each of the twins, but they also describe Subaru himself. Both, together. Those two things add up to a large part of his internal conflict, and are made difficult by the fact that they contrast each other so much.

Because Subaru cannot just save everyone easily, because he's just a normal kid who was thrown into situations far beyond his abilities, he has to learn to love himself while dealing with both of these issues simultaneously. Letting go of one of these flaws (as he sees it) means completely and shamelessly embracing the other. If he refuses help, the only way he can be strong is to sacrifice himself. If he prioritizes himself, then he'll only ever be able to take from those he cares about.

I love how the story doesn't give him the option to become stronger, either. Like- he has Guiltywhip, he has Beatrice, he has Witch Authorities, but he's not the Isekai Protagonist he'd hoped he could be. He can't be Reinhardt (though... I don't know if he would want to be. That comes with its own rabbit hole, doesn't it?).

Rem and Ram each are like two mirrors of different parts of him, and they each have dynamics with each other that play on these connections.

Rem and Ram each embody different parts of the message of Re:Zero and I think that is so cool. All of them do, but the way this is presented just. I love it.

I don't mean to always talk about Subaru, I swear... I'm just in love with his character... Subaru's got such good dynamics with the whole cast,,,

I wish this conversation was in the final timeline, or that Subaru recreated it somehow... got the message across... man

Dear Diary, today I thought about Re:Zero again

also can we talk about how there's little trinkets and items that represent the main cast's personalities? Like, the spoon and the quill represent Rem and Ram in this story, the flower pin that Emilia gets from the little girl is like... the proof of her kindness, and the 10 yen coin represents subaru's brand of kindness- from the very beginning of the story. as well as the key from the elior forest being another one of emilia's, which has a similar diamond shaped gem to the quill and spoon. The only one of the main cast I can't pin down is beatrice... her book? her crown? I'm not sure. I hope we see Subaru's Beatrice diary in the next season!!

Something I noticed about Toga and Uraraka

(Spoiler warning for My Hero Academia!!)

Himiko Toga and Ochako Uraraka obviously parallel one another quite a bit; for example, their appearance and color schemes. But there is a specific way in which they parallel each other that isn't as obvious: their quirk awakenings. Both characters' quirk awakenings happened in relation to the love they have for each other.

Himiko Toga's quirk awakening happened in season five, episode twenty one. This is the very first episode that we learn something from Toga's past. In this episode, Toga uses her quirk, Transform, to become Ochako Uraraka with the little bit of blood she had stolen from her. While she was transformed into her, she accidentally used Uraraka's quirk, Zero Gravity. Of course this was the first time she had ever used someone else's quirk, so she was confused for a while. She eventually realized that this was part of her own ever-growing power ("I want to become more... like those I love!") Episode: Revival Party.

Ochako Uraraka's quirk awakening happened in the episode "A Girl's Ego". Her quirk awakening was the realization that her Zero Gravity was able to spread like a chain. She was in the middle of telling Himiko Toga that she wanted to have their long-awaited "girl talk" when she made this discovery. ("Because I still want to talk about love with you, Himiko!") Episode: A Girl's Ego.

These kinds of parallels really show how Himiko and Ochako truly are two sides of the same coin, and that's why they can understand one another so entirely.
