#HORIKOSHI WHERE IS HE

[pocketramblr]

Tomura: Did you fuck my dad, Sensei???

so like do you think AfO was thinking 'oh yeah ive seen this trope, my future evil successor will be soooo mad that i knew his dad carnally and i can use that to... control him better'(i guess???)

#i think. i think it is incredibly funny #that after all those 'afo dated inko to get back at nana bc au where shes her kid' lil ideas #horikoshi said 'NO i dont even NEED to give her a second kid to do that. hes dating her SON now to get back at her' #but i guess. diversity win???? #pocket talks to people #gentrychild #bnha manga spoilers #bnha manga leaks #maybe. im never checking anything ever again

[s0fter-sin]

you ever think about how it’s been over a year since we last saw aizawa, mic and their dead high school boyfriend

#bnha manga spoilers #like we finally got an aizawa panel but it was a flashback so it doesnt really count #but horikoshi really threw them into a teleporting abyss then went lol bye #we still dont know where they are or how much of shirakumo is present through kurogiri #also!! the gun!! that just never got mentioned again #mic probably still has it!! which means he could still be the one that has to kill kurogiri to free shirakumo #bc you know aizawa wont be able to do it #and he wont be able to use erasure to get through to him #am i putting off re watching the sports fest arc to figure out how to write mics commentary? maybe so #go beyond plus ultra #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #aizawa #eraserhead #present mic #kurogiri #oboro shirakumo #erasermic #erasercloudmic #mha #bnha

The full list of every Todoroki family panel:

That's it. That's the list. 7 panels. Not a single double spread or even a full-page image. Actually, there is no panel where all their faces are visible.

I don't think there is any other prominent group / dynamic in the manga that got an endgame of nothing but low-quality, tiny panels without a piece of art emphasizing them as a unit. It's just really weird... That after more than a decade, the family is finally together, and that moment after the long build-up doesn't get a single "impact" art. A framing that shows that something big happened here.

And if this is about Shouto "becoming who he is meant to be" why is there no double spread or a big page art to emphasize it?

I'm not sure if that last panel is supposed to be Enji's "father" moment - but it's certainly not framed like it. You need a magnifying glass to even see what's happening, in a chapter otherwise full of gorgeous art.

#todoroki family #todoroki endgame #no i am not at all jealous how bakugou's return got 7 double spreads in 2 chapters #i'll cope #i'm sad though #dabi #todoroki shouto #todoroki touya #i can't tell if it's horikoshi being sick #not giving a shit #or the story not having ended yet #but their treatment is strikingly bad compared also to Togachako or AM vs AFO or even just the likes of Aoyama #since HK's story has been carried by the art #the chapters where he just phones it in really suffer #i'm still so sad about this #i'm hoping the volume will fix some things #or at least add one cool panel or spread for them #todoroki rei #endeavor #todoroki natsuo #todoroki fuyumi

I think why Endhawks is so cathartic for me is that you have two people who have been through a bunch of trauma and made fucked up choices because of it and are both terrified that deep down that they aren’t worthy of love, that they’ll end up alone, that they are inherently bad.

And they are trying, trying so hard to change, to be good, to be lovable.

And they accept each other so easily. Like yes I see you. I see you trying so hard. You’re not hard to love at all. You are a good person at heart and that’s why you try so hard. I won’t flinch away at the hard, sharp edges of you because mine fit together with yours.

And it hits me right in my trauma core.

I just love them. Anyway…

#endhawks #mini rant of the day #hawks x endeavor #endeavor x hawks #it’s rotten work #not to me #Enji terrified of losing people because he believes that he is not strong enough to protect anyone #and Hawks who believes that he is only lovable when he is useful and charming and putting up a mask #ahhhhhh #and why I love Enji’s arc where he’s like this is it #it’s all stripped away I’m weak and terrible #and his family is like shut up you fucked up but we’re still here to support you #and Hawks who never wavers in his support #Horikoshi just stabbing me with emotions

[shehsart]

Here's my thoughts on the last few chapters since they've wrecked me mentally. The panels are so beautifully done and every single one portrays tragedy. There's so much symbolism and I think this is the most artistically pleasing arc in the entire series.

This panel this fucking panel is so heartwrenching because we discover Touya is imagining this scene play out while burning to death.

He thinks he's finally getting his family's attention when in reality this is happening and he's just hallucinating due to brain damage.

These panels make it even more heartbreaking. They're just yelling at him to stop but he's still happy because all he ever wanted was his family to see him. Just think about the amount of desperation.

Then Dabi is back meaning he's still holding on to his resentment. He tried and tried to get unconditional love which every child deserves thinking he had to accomplish something to achieve it. If giving him attention was so easy why did it take so long?

Now that he's an adult most think it shouldn't be a big deal but abuse/neglect fucks you up really badly for life. You want to blame someone but blaming your own parent fucks with your mind even more. It makes you guilty about your own existence.

AHH yes the ending. Shoto finally arriving with his ice 🙏 Kun from the nomu fight and the rest of the world are praying. This is the moment where I was finally a bit satisfied.

Too many parallels to the fight back in chap 190 so here's to hoping no one will die. Touya just might but I don't think he's taking his entire family with him. He's not even taking Endeavor with him.

But think about it the worst thing for this family would be for Touya to have come back and died right in front of them again, it would be just haunt them so much. It's horrible but it would be interesting to see. Ironically if he lives he'll end up imprisoned forever.

I'm a bit confused I want to see him live and heal with his fam, actually discover who he is apart from his family's trauma but the way this current society is set he won't be able to. I want to see more of Dabi/Touya though and I'm sure we all do. I need to see more of the Todorokis, I need to see them happier ;~; I think he'll def get more content like a spin off even after bnha ends. I'll fucking campaign for it.

I don’t particularly care to stand on polarizing fandom opinion, but this one gets under my fucking skin.

I don’t consider myself a hero or villain stan when it comes to My Hero Academia because I just look at the individual person. I find myself siding a hell of a lot more with the villains because in general, I think it’s true that society failed them, and it’s so sad and infuriating that it failed them at such a young age.

And then there’s Hawks.

And what baffles me about the perception of Hawks is that people will never admit that he’s far more like the villains than the heroes.

Indoctrination goes both ways. Just like Shigaraki was indoctrined by AFO to bring about destruction, Hawks was indoctrined by hero society and the JPHC specifically that Heroes were the ultimate good. Just as Shigaraki was “saved” from his family, Hawks was saved from his. Shigaraki was a tool for AFO to bring about his plan. Hawks is a tool for the JPHC to keep control.

Hawks and Shigaraki are at most two years apart. Hell, we barely ever use Hawks’ birthnames just like Shigaraki and Dabi!

It just doesn’t make sense that people will call the hero society corrupt, but then not call Hawks a victim for being made to carry out its will. Like yes, Hawks chose to be a hero, but he was like, fucking 8 years old and saved from abject poverty and parental neglect. And then you call him a monster for doing the job he’s been brainwashed to do.

If you’re going to have sympathy for villains, and if you’re going to erase some culpability from Shigaraki, Dabi, Toga and Twice because of what they endured, then you have to do the same for Hawks. Because they’re literally all the same. Society failed ALL of them.

#shuichi iguchi #shigaraki tomura #spinaraki #these were 2 unrelated sletches but then my brain starting brewing some thoughts #mainly an au where spinner is sent in as a spy (for???? not the heroes lmao) to get into Shigaraki's confidence which of course means #wink wonk bedroom activities ANYWAY spinner catches feelings and doesnt really want to inform on Shigaraki anymore and is feeling conflicted #about what he should do and shigaraki knows something is up with his maybe boyfriend but not what and just :))) angst and split loyalties #amd feeling torn in two directions #(i sya not heroes but the only group with enough prescence is the mla but thats not really their m.o. either so???? idk what group would #have the reach/influence to feel threatened by some upstart kid in the villain world and manipulate a member into taking this espionage job) #anyways ive got so many au ideas and not enough time to write a fic or 12 lmao #like the research + planning + plot points + writing + editing + energy to pull it off.... im tempted to dabble in it all again tbh #im a year behind the manga tho and still havent watched the last season so idk where characters have ended up #and id rather not write anything until i catch up (idk maybe horikoshi has revealed some fun/character specific info?) #here i am talking on + on in the tags. anywho if anyone wants to write a fic based on any of my posts feel free bc i probably never will

[tomurakii]

Just caught up to bnha. What the FUCK

#so deku being optimistic and believing all people are redeemable. his one good trait. lead to shigaraki's soul being fully lost #and taken over by afo. who katsuki just died to supress. #so in being sympathetic to villains he not only a) failed to redeem the villain and b) killed the villain #but also c) revived a worse guy and d) made his best friend's sacrifice pointless #but also instead of fixing any of those things with rewind he gets his arms back or whatever. cool. nice #what is the message here I wonder #UGH I HATE IT HERE. BNHA IN REALITY WILL NEVER LIVE UP TO ITS POTENTIAL #BECAUSE WHAT GENUINELY READS AS A STRUCTURE FOR A CRITIQUE ON POLICE VIOLENCE IS TO HORIKOSHI JUST AN EXCUSE FOR COOL FIGHTS #COOL. C O O L #WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A COMMENTARY ON THE GLORIFICATION OF STATE VIOLENCE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. IS INSTEAD #JUST A SHOW WHERE SOME KID GETS SCHOOLED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST EVIL I GUESS. AND ITS UP TO THE STATE™️ TO KILL THEM FOR IT #ALRIGHT. OKAY #bnha #tomura shigaraki #whatever. whatever #bnha spoilers

So many readers are so hung up on disliking endeavor on a personal level that they discredit his writing as a character, it’s also weird to see how people feel the need to preface that they don’t condone him/his abuse before they talk about his writing positively what happened to nuance what happened to media literacy

#like where is the nuance why are people so weird about him lmao #also what’s with these bad faith readings why does horikoshi need to take you by the hand #and tell you that the POV we get for todoroki chapters are always extremely subjective #it couldn’t be more obvious imo #it makes SENSE for endeavor to conclude that this is the only solution #he is literally not adequately equipped to find a better solution #that’s the joke #like yea it’s frustrating but that’s the point

'the final pages of the report include a few interesting details. they note that every hero at the scene explicitely said that no work study students participated in the fight against shigaraki. our part was erased from the record. that denial is the only reference to me, kacchan and todoroki in the entire document' IM SORRY? THE VILLAINS ARE RIGHT DOWN WITH HEROES. DENYING THEIR PART WHILE THEY'RE LITERALLY BEING WHEELED TO HOSPITAL UNCONSCIOUS? WHEN THE FIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT THEM? WHY DID KIDS NEED TO BE ON THE BATTLEFIELD ANYWAY AND THEN AFTERWARDS WHY ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF IT THAN THE PART THEY PLAYED? i hope you all die

#there are like two good heroes maybe #i love hawks and i wouldnt even count him in that for... obvious reasons #it's like. erasermic. and that's it #everyone else is either very obviously awful and corrupt (the HSPC and endeavour) or are way too chill with clearly immoral things #LIKE sending kids into battle and putting morality directly onto a biological power outisde of people's control at birth #like yeah the villains are fucked and killed a shit ton of people but at least theyve never pretended to be anything different #society took one look at them and said 'you do not deserve to be saved. you are a monster' and they said fuck it we ball! #they embraced their quirks and the things society crucified them for and made a league where they were accepted #and they never once pretended to be anything but what they were #GOD THIS FUCKING SHOWWWW #like i LOVE how morality and heroics is handled in mha it's so so good and nuanced #& then it's just. endeavour redemption. like what in god's name possessed horikoshi - a writer who i KNOW can handle this topic - to do tha #midoriya looking at shigaraki who just wiped out an entire fucking city: you looked like you wanted to be saved... #midoriya looking at touya who's in unimaginable amounts of physical and emotional pain at all times at the hands of his abuser #that he's had to watch for 24 years shining in the spotlight and receiving praise and adoration: idk ur dad was nice to me one time #mha #mha spoilers #hella watches anime

What if Ochaco pushing down her feelings for Izuku is kind of a "Take That" to the trope of the main girl crushing on the main guy?

I'm sitting here thinking about that detail and... this is one of the few times I have seen a main girl character actually push down her feelings for the guy and prioritizes what's really important to her (in this case, being a hero).

What if Horikoshi established Ochaco's crush just to later use it say "it's not important to her character"? Telling people who read this story to realize "a girl's attraction to a boy shouldn't be the only thing you recognize her for, it's not a trait that is important to the story".

Because let's be honest, if you take out the crush part, the story still could work. Ochaco could still be that girl who wants to save people, still be that girl who cares about others and admires Izuku for who he is.

The crush isn't even vital to Izuku's character because it is nearly non-existent on his end.

Usually in some media, the crush is mutual and both characters are shown to have signs of jealousy, or "not like I like you or anything" moments, nearly kissing moments, you know the usual.

Here... we don't really get that.

So why would Horikoshi add the crush thing in?

Again, what if it's his message to us to say that trope, the main girl crushing on the main guy and that's mostly what she's really focused on, isn't necessary? It's his way of taking another trope and twisting it? Wanting us to see that his story is different? Throwing a middle finger to that trope?

Reading ur tags about aizawa being kind of a jerk makes me think like, I hope it's some kinda twist that he's just repressing his feelings and lashing out with anger/resentment/being a jerk because he didn't use any outlets for dealing with his friends deaths

Cuz it's true his vibe changed, I just hope it's for a reason

And doing something like that^^ wouldn't justify it, but it would make it feel realistic imo

Mans is emotionally constipated and has gone through a lot of trauma, so though it doesn't surprise me exactly that he's being a jerk, I hope there's a breaking point or something

Yeah, I mean, that maybe is it, since it happened around the shirakurogiri arc, but I honestly don't know if Horikoshi thinks that deeply about his characters.

I will be happy if it's eventually addressed and he can be a good character again, but I kinda doubt it will? It's not him as a character I have a problem with it's the writing it just feels . bad.

I also don't know if Midnight's death will actually ever be addressed in any meaningful capacity. There was no reason for her to die except for a moment of shock value.

My solution for all of this is make the Loudspeaker AU canon.

#aizawa IS shown to care about Mic #so why suddenly change him so he doesnt #i feel like the explanation for his behaviour would only ever be 'thats just how he deals with grief ' #and like ok. but. thats not good x #maybe show how his friends are effected by him neglecting their feelings if thats the hill you wanna die on #this is like if i wrote a story where the mc is upset about something so he stabs his mum #and then i just say 'yeah that's just how he deals with trauma' #and there was never any repercussion #that may be an exaggeration but #you can't just have a character be horrible n say its ok cause he sad #sorry for being based x #im not that mad about this i promise ive touched grass before #i just like to complain sometimes #this is why Vigilantes and the light novels are superior #maybe i just dont like Horikoshi lol he do give me the creeps a bit #he's probably a nice guy but i get some weird vibes

me too toga, me to

#i literally talk like this to myself when i don;t feel too good like how did horikoshi write this like where does it come from what was he d #doing until now likeee ??? #this is heroaca??? since when #sorry i #im not normal about this #i love you himiko i love you #toga himiko #bnha 395 #mha 395 #bnha spoilers #mha spoilers

coming out of my baldurs gate 3 delirium (aka i am working a night shift and can't physically play it. at work.) to say that horikoshi. horikoshi when i GET YOU. you are NOT leaving izuku with no quirk and no arms. i am in your walls

#bnha spoilers #also. more evidence that horikoshi read zero-sum game #like come on the twins thing the izuku losing his quirk thing the losing his arm thing the shiggy getting decay from afo thing #TELL ME THE TRUTH HORIKOSHI. DID YOU READ MY FANFIC. #i'm joking of course. he's just done a really good job of foreshadowing through the series. its a marker of an amazing author #and i know that izuku probably won't lose both his arms and his quirk. i fully expect it to be a happy ending in some way shape or form #this is a sixteen year old boy who sacrificed EVERYTHING. more than he ever had to give #and he had less than a year. LESS THAN A YEAR. #sorry i'm already crying thinking about the scene of him holding shigaraki's hand even though it will decay him........ #izuku who knows better than ANYONE what shigaraki's power can do.... reaching out to him. caring more about others than about himself. #he's just. he's so good. he's SO GOOD. he deserves the world #tbh i feel like eri HAS to be involved at this point. she's the deus ex machina in all this #that or overhaul #both of their abilities can at least physically restructure izuku's body #it would actually be a very interesting redemption point for overhaul....... #i mean WHY ELSE RESCUE HIM. and why give him THE SAME FUCKING INJURY #what a powerful thing it would be to have eri give overhaul his arms back #and overhaul learning about goodness and forgiveness from this girl he's done nothing but abuse and torture #and saves izuku........ #its about ATONEMENT. its about GROWTH. its about IT NEVER BEING TOO LATE. #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU MY HERO ACADEMIA #... ok. i'm normal. its fine. #on another note #i loved the ending to my first bg3 run which i think i finished Tuesday/Wednesday. i cried. #IMMEDIATELY started a durge run where i'm playing a male human bard instead of the female half-wood elf ranger #i was like 'haha. i'll make a character based on hisoka from hxh! i'm gonna be SOOOO evil! >:)) #and guess who still isn't good at being big evil. ME. at worst i'm probably chaotic neutral. #its wild i'm already finding SO MANY new scenes i missed on the first playthrough even though i'm making a lot of the same choices #so it still feels super fun and fresh. more so now because i kind of know the characters and the mechanics better #my current playthrough i'm with lae'zel shadowheart and asterion with no intention of switching out

I just read the chapter 395 for real and I am feeling so NORMAL ABOUT IT
