Curate, connect, and discover
Hey! In the preview of the next episode I saw this screen and ... no it just wasn't Tomura, so I took the liberty of correcting it a bit and adding the art direction of the new opening š
Heyoooo
I tested some of D.A's suggestion for some of MHA's Season 7 shots. For Toga, I don't know what the weather is like at the moment. But I tested a cloudier and more threatening sky. For Tomura, I realized that his fight against Star and Stripes was supposed to take place in the stratosphere. I therefore tested an A.D. taking this parameter into account.
Mmm, yessir. Ready to go back on my daily brain rots and machination about MHA nad Izuku theories just for the funsies
I've missed too damn much reading posts this good and well written, damn š
(Ch. 336)
You know, this panel has always made me a little curious. Every other time we saw Izuku sparring with Katsuki (before the war started at least), heād use blackwhip to defend himself, hence ācatch-a-kacchanā so I found it weird how Izuku didnāt even try to grab Katsuki. For like 100 chapters prior to this, he used blackwhip for everything and would eventually just leave it out incase he needed it quickly kinda like how Hawks utilized his feathers (when he had them) so I kinda just made a mental note about how weird it was that Izuku chose to evade instead of defend when he easily couldāve.
I also found it weird how quickly Izuku wanted to change the topic along with the distress on his face. I thought it was just a cheap and ooc way of explaining Todorokiās new power quickly but, since itās now confirmed that Izuku has PTSD about Katsukiās sacrifice, what if Katsukiās cluster move triggers that trauma response too?
The next time we see cluster used with Izuku present, Izuku actually does respond with blackwhip.
(Ch. 404)
He doesnāt use it in defense though, he uses it in almost possessive way by securing their hands together with it. But also, he doesnāt speak for this entire chapter. It could be explained away by the side effect of using gearshift and him not being able to breath but before now, heās been more focused while in distress and was also speaking just fine before. Though, in these panels, and through the entire chapter, he seems almost delirious and in shock. Heās not even reacting to the lack of oxygen anymore.
He even starts ignoring Shigaraki in these moments. Heās stunned and mesmerized but now Iām starting to question whether heās amazed or scared out of his mind for what might happen. With that uncertainty, all that I can say confidently is that heās distracted.
(Season 7 ep. 4)
Arguably after chapter 404, he stops thinking straight and, honestly, gets a little sloppy. A few chapters after this, is when gets danger sense stolen and starts getting truly injured. He makes the decision to give away OFA and loses his arms. He reverts right back into his āI donāt care what happens to meā mentality that his class has been trying to get him to grow out of for a while.
He wasnāt mentally prepared for something to go wrong in this fight. He wasnāt mentally prepared to be pulled away, leaving Katsuki with Shigaraki. I thought it was just iffy writing that heād mentally regress after Katsuki woke up instead of before but, it honestly makes a lot more sense now. He cared about what happened to himself because he needed to stay alive to ensure Katsukiās revival. Once Katsuki woke up and he watched him fight AFO, he started being reckless again. He went back to viewing himself as nothing but a vessel for OFA because he believes OFA is the only thing that can beat AFO, hence why he trusted the vestiges when they said āwe can fight him from the insideā (which I think was a silly decision. Itās noble in theory but it amounted to nothing because Izuku canāt win in this regressive state of self sacrifice anymore. Or at least, he shouldnāt since itās such a big part of his arc.).
And now, with the most recent chapter with most of his classmates present it seems like heās regretting that decision because heās being reminded that people care about him. They showed up to support him regardless of already being hurt because he canāt win on his own. Eri mutilated herself to help him and if that doesnāt tell him that fighting without the intent of not dying is stupid, idk what will.
(Ch. 421)
He was about to just throw himself back into the fight with the same mindset as before if Aizawa didnāt stop him. He looks frustrated because he realizes the weight of what heās been doing and how looking up to AM and the previous vestiges shouldnāt be his role models right now considering all of their fates. Heād just be continuing OFAs curse like Katsukiās been worried about for a hundred something chapters.
In conclusion, this post was very unfocused but I canāt wait to see Izuku kick ass and for Katsuki to show back up because with the impact heās had on Izuku, I DESPERATELY need them to talk. Most of this post may have very well been a stretch but, let me be delusional please.
