HE SO DOES. - Blog Posts

when i first learned that mic drives a ford mustang, i thought to myself “of course he does”, it felt like such an extra / fancy choice 

but after seeing what yagi & best jeanist drive, i became very curious

i guess this could be hori’s way of showing the hierarchy in the world of heroes, since all might’s and best jeanist’s cars look like they’d probably cost a lot more (and mic’s car isn’t a cheap one either!), which is very interesting, but also, i’d say that mic’s choice is kinda far from practical. given that bnha is set in the future, yamada’s car would be at least a hundred years old, or of course it could be a replica. but if it’s not and is indeed an original 1966 ford mustang shelby, i would imagine that it requires a lot of maintenance / care. it’s so interesting, because mic doesn’t strike me as a very orderly / careful kind of person, but i can easily imagine him having very strict rules when it comes to his car. like, imagine somebody slams the door a bit too hard and immediately gets yelled at lol

also this isn’t some random choice of car. i feel like a person who isn’t very interested or invested in cars would just go for something new-ish and popular, but this???? this seems like a very specific choice by someone who researched the topic. also interesting how unlike yagi or best jeanist’s cars, mic’s car is very much based on a real-life prototype. my question is, why did hori specifically go for this car? why ford? what if anything i’m probably reading waaayyy too much into this someone stop me does this say about mic as a character? was ford chosen to somehow hint at his connection to the US, or at the very least his interest in the US? i’m genuinely very curious

but one thing i know with absolute certainty is that it would be red. like, look at it. it’s so pretty
