BNHA 367 REACTIONS
Tumblr media
i really appreciate how everyone looks pretty chill except for Hawks who seems to be in the middle of an existential crisis.
Also, I am very curious about what they’re watching. I hope it’s All Might and AFO debating something.
Tumblr media
Pilot: “Vacations are over, kid! Drop that mai tai and get your ass out of that beach and unto that plane!”
Izuku: *sighs and finishes his drink*
Tumblr media
Izuku: “How is Star and Stripe doing by the way?”
Pilot: “Oh, she is recovering at the hospital. I am pretty sure she would already be out of there if they hadn’t put her in the same room as her ex, a former pro hero that just got out of prison.”
Izuku: “Oh, good.”
Tumblr media
ShigarAFO: “Midoriya Izuku!!”
Izuku: “That’s it? That’s all you have to say after all the ‘We shall meet again?’ and the creepy video messages? That’s kinda underwhelming. But I guess there is no time to waste.”
ShigarAFO: “Well, defeating me won’t be as easy as you th-”
Tumblr media
Izuku: “Sorry, what was that?”
ShigarAFO, mumbling: “Son of a bitch just threw me across the goddamn field... How many quirks did he get during his vacation? And why does it feel like someone who had a good rest on a beach somewhere?”
Tumblr media
Izuku: “Uh. Why does my mouth suddenly taste like foot?”
Tumblr media
“Everyone”: *cricket noises*
Tumblr media
Izuku: “Oh my God, All for One even killed Edgeshot?”
Best Jeanist: “Actually...”
Mirio: “NOT NOW! HE ISN’T READY TO HEAR THAT ONE!”
Tumblr media
Izuku: “...Kacchan?”
Izuku: “... Kacchan’s vintage collector All Might card from ten years ago that is worth so much today, at least until it was defaced with Dynamight’s authentic blood?”
Tumblr media
Best Jeanist: “ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?”
Izuku: “I am always serious when it comes to All Might merch.”
Best Jeanist: “DEKU!”
Izuku: “Fine... Oh no, Kacchan! Sunflower! Nejire! Miruko... Wait, Miruko too? Miruko is down? How did that happen?”
Tumblr media
ShigarAFO: “Is that rage time due to all those heroes I beat or because of that one All Might merch? Because I would like to know if all I had to do to get you here was to set a pile of merch on fire?”
Also ShigarAFO: Ehehe, step 1: break his pine. Step 2: Steal OFA. Step 3: unleash my monologue once he can’t escape anymore and make sure to stay out of biting distance.
Tumblr media
Mirio: “DON’T GIVE INTO THE DARK SIDE! DON’T LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU!”
ShigarAFO: “How the hell do you even have that reference???”
Tumblr media
ShigarAFO: “So unrealistic.”
Mirio: “BITCH, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE GENRE IS? AND IT’S ESPECIALLY BAD COMING FROM SOMEONE WHOSE VILLAIN MOTIVE IS A COMIC HE NEVER FINISHED!”
Izuku: “Yeah! We are going to turn fantasy into reality!”
ShigarAFO: “YOU LITTLE SHIT! I WAS THE ONE TO SAY THAT FIRST!”
Tumblr media
Izuku: “Thank you, Mirio.”
Izuku: “Now, can you tell me why you were twerking when I arrived?”
Mirio: “How about we stopped talking for a while?”
Tumblr media
Izuku: “Hey, Shigaraki, you’re still in there?”
ShigarAFO: “No.”
Tomura: “Yes?”
Izuku: “Hang in there. I am going to save you.”
Tomura: T_T

Just reading back a little and saw this moment
Tumblr media
And I think it's just sort of telling? How Best Jeanist refers to Tomura as destruction personified and Izuku says nothing, yet when En refers to him as sort of the same thing he voices what he really thinks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I can only think that every time someone has referred to Tomura as something without a shred of sympathy and Izuku's kept silent, it might be something he takes note of. Especially now that he's become aware of Tomura's pain. Hearing everything they call Tomura, like he's just some sort of thing, like he doesn't have a name or a past or a house that was once his (something he explicitly said TO Izuku as he fell from UA), it's gotta open his eyes or something, right?
Even Nana has referred to Tomura as a "thing", though she must have meant the version of Tomura that is "the finished product" (hence the wings after the chrysalis that was shown during the surgery) - someone truly incapable of being saved (and thus removing herself mentally/emotionally from the crushing fact that he is family)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reactions like this one below; saying nothing when coming across a different opinion
Tumblr media
Reminds me of this
Tumblr media
And I suppose there is also an element of something back from when Izuku told Gran Torino he wanted to save Tomura. Torino had said the words "Killing can be another way of saving", and at the time, Izuku wasn't entirely sure if there was anything left of Tomura/Tenko inside the fusion. Up until that moment he asked if Tomura was still there, he couldn't have fully known whether he would have to kill him or get to save him like he wanted to do. So, essentially, keeping quiet when people referred to Tomura as "destruction incarnate" (and other things), just in case that really was what he'd become
Though I guess that detail doesn't really matter now, what with Izuku wanting to save him, finally seeing Tomura was still in there and digging his heels in with the set determination of saving him. He saw Tomura's personality, the human in him, after all
Anyway
Now it sort of seems like Izuku is speaking up? Not just in the presence of those who think otherwise but against Tomura himself. En says Tomura is like "destruction incarnate" and immediately after, Izuku says "It's deeper than that. You're human"
In the end, I wonder if it matters more that Izuku spoke up to Tomura first, someone who NEEDS to know the truth and who would greatly benefit from someone challenging his thoughts head-on, rather than mentioning it every time someone refers to Tomura as some "thing" instead
I guess it adds more of an impact to the story too, that way

I saw a take on a TT that was talking about the new cover; and they said that it's odd that Horikoshi did this(specifically, Izuku cradling Katsuki and looking feral) when "that's not how it happens in the manga," and furthermore says,
"In the manga, Izuku doesn't think about Katsuki for longer than like a minute, doesn't seem bothered by it for too long" or similar so they don't know why this cover should hold the weight that it does, essentially.
Because in their claim, Izuku didn't CARE about Katsuki's death for more than a second.
AND LIKE
They have also claimed that they like the relationship of BKDK(not romantically, but otherwise) and I am like HOW can that be your takeaway if you appreciate anything about their relationship ??
We all KNOW Izuku lost his marbles at the SIGHT of Katsuki. We all KNOW that he was raging out of control again, and we all KNOW that Mirio was the only one able to get close to Izuku to tell him that Katsuki would be okay. (And what would have happened if he DIDN'T get through to Izuku??)
We all saw Izuku have to pull himself together and then put himself behind that wall of BW, behind his scarf, behind his Quirk, and FOCUS himself on Shigaraki.
He was VERY MUCH BOTHERED by Katsuki's death. That's not subtext. That's TEXT.
What part of this entire STORY signals that Izuku wasn't bothered??
I JUST-- OOF.
Like, the theme here is that Izuku supresses ALL of this trauma and possibly other feelings that he views as "gross" or not something he can explore rn. If you don't know what Izuku looks like when he's holding back his real emotions for the sake of the current mission, you're not reading the text. You're not seeing the visuals. There's different interpretations but I don't think this one is really up for debate.
Izuku was EXTREMELY AFFECTED, DEVASTATINGLY AFFECTED by Katsuki's death, and the cover is emblematic of that.
ANYWAY sorry had to vent about that.

Okay so the last post wasn't my last BNHA one for the time being but I wanted to expand on this one (how I think Midoriya Izuku: Rising would go), 'cause I kept thinking "how would the buildup to it even go" and I wanted to share!
Also, I'll alternate between Tenko and Tomura a lot in this post, I apologize for it.
So, with that in mind, spoilers for the manga, up until Chapter 417, ahead!
Okay, so the vestige world is going back in time for Izuku and Tomura; and it has currently rewinded to their origins- Izuku, as at least a part of his origins (as you could make a case he was already on his way since the Quirkless diagnosis, while the Sludge Villain incident was a checkpoint). As such, it's likely Izuku will rewind the closer he gets to Shimura family death.
So, based on previous encounters, Tomura would need to be shown a commonality between him and Izuku (being underestimated, told it's impossible for them to be heroes) or the extent he's willing to go to save a person (Lady Nagant, Eri, Kota, Katsuki). With that in mind, I don't know if Izuku would be willing to think about the last one, because of the worms inside that can.
It's a little tiring to hear the same thing, but that "control your heart" thing is indeed very important for Izuku- because how do you connect to someone like Tomura- who has (mostly) lost hope for help if you keep repressing the feeling he'd also connect with? Can anyone recall the last time we've seen, unambiguously, Izuku's thoughts?
This, is where Izuku's repression problem comes in- the first and last setback of his: "Not all men are created equal"; he is the central representation of the matter... and so are the two people involved in this narrative:
Izuku wasn't created equal to most characters, despite BNHA's house of mirrors game: no relation to heroes, no Quirk, no one to encourage him to become one through other means, no self-worth- He's like a lot of characters, but no character is like him, period, least of all Tenko or Katsuki.
Tenko wasn't created equal to Izuku because his relation to Nana (a hero) is what caused Kotaro's resentment to resurface, and Tomura's faith in heroes was shattered because the one who "cared" for him was AFO, who groomed him to be a vessel. We don't even know yet if Decay was his all along or not!
Katsuki wasn't created equal to Izuku because he was thought strong by his Quirk, and too much encouragement caused confidence to become arrogance. He grew up with love, yes, but what was expected of him (to be an arrogant hero? Izuku's closest person? An extra character?) could've been the reason he would have died.
So, they all foil each other in some way, shape or form- but the main contrast between Izuku, and Katsuki and Tomura: he hides one emotion he should be allowed to feel since chapter 1: Unbridled rage. Even in situations he'd be justified, do we see him lose it like in chapter 82-83, 210, 285 and just barely 367?
With all of that information, let's return to Chapter 417; the most recent one as of now.
We know Izuku's priorities- others before himself, even at the cost of his safety. A suicidal recklessness, especially when it comes to kids-Kota and Eri come to mind, Katsuma and Mahoro as well. The panel of him jumping in to reach for Tenko while Nana confronts Kotaro is the best representation of it. So it wouldn't be surprising if he'd stick by Tenko's side during the first Decay (assuming it's Tomura's memory and not the actual person). He's always been like that, the Quirkless teen who just wanted to help people like All Might once did.
Tomura would most likely falter on his resolve, after all, no one helped him in the aftermath of the Shimura tragedy, while Izuku just saw a kid in need and decided to protect him. But I can also see this is where Izuku would lose it as well.
This is where, I think, the memory merging would come in. Tomura reminiscing on the misery that is his life, and Izuku finally losing it once he realized he and Tomura are similar, with all of his rage finally coming loose... But also that he can use that to connect to him, using the embers of OFA he can feel. Not all, but just enough. Dark Deku returns, his feelings of inadequacy, of not belonging anywhere.
Because Izuku knows that feeling of unfairness, of knowing people don't believe in his dreams. But he knows anyone can make a difference, he needs to see how much he already did, just by being the one willing to give a hand for those who needed it. He needs to know where his origin really begins- not when All Might decided to be his mentor, but when he was the first who stepped up to help when it mattered, the sludge villain incident.
For someone who would've fit with the League, had the wrong right cards been dealt for him.
This would be where Tenko would probably cease, at least enough to hear Izuku out. Still as kids, they would probably fight until Izuku breaks through, until both collapse in exhaustion in the vestige world- not only from the fight, but from their emotional state. Just two kids who are tired.
Who, by all accounts, should've been like Tomura, right?
Weren't heroes and villains the same, after all?
The outside world holds their breath, for there is no movement yet. But all beg Izuku to do his best.
Nothing can erase their pasts, but Izuku doesn't want to focus on that. He needs to accept it's a part of him. So does Tomura.
And just as they finally come to an understanding, and Izuku lends a hand- a promise the future can be better despite everything, Tenko is snatched again by a plethora of forceful grips. AFO's trump card is activated- something that tries to break Tenko and possess Tomura again. Izuku tries pulling him out of it, but is slowly consumed as well. In this moment, they grow back to their current ages, while Izuku can barely move. He has no strength, no Quirks, no help, and he'll die then and there.
But.
The vestiges are conscious enough to rebel against AFO, like before. One more time. Maybe for the last time?
Izuku is still connected to One For All.
And he's not the only one.
Maybe this is the last time One For All will exist. But if All For One is defeated, if Tomura is saved, it's worth it at any costs.
The vestiges find their way back to Izuku, trying to pull him out, while he holds on to Tomura, who's terrified of being taken control of once again. They lack the same strength of the Quirk, but still make enough of a difference. Yet, it's not enough.
Until the two hands of a UA student appear beside him.
If their feelings are one, then Izuku knows who it is, and feels something new, worrying, regretful and afraid, but surprisingly for Izuku, he's kind, fully trusting. Vestige or not, that weakness needs to become his strength, just like before, then. So, Izuku channels that part of him, the one he’s ashamed of, and turns into something he’s proud of.
That voice says one thing: Do your best.
And therefore, his strength, complemented by the missing piece of Katsuki’s vestige, ends up being the turning point.
Izuku rips Tomura out of All For One’s grip, in the vestige world and the real world— an explosion; the shape of a star just like the one moments before. The cocoon is destroyed, the hands are shattered and falling from the sky. Tomura is unconscious, but his grip doesn’t decay Izuku at all.
In that moment, the world cheers, as Izuku gets up, a scarred right fist in the air just like his idol. The fight was won, and Tomura was defeated., No, he was saved. Japan was saved. The world was saved.
Deku, Midoriya Izuku rises, and becomes the world’s greatest hero.

Looking back at some screencaps i took of the hospital fight, I think the entire situation would've made me less mad if the heroes were just honest about wanting to kill Tomura while he's comatose in the fishtank ngl

i think a cool ending could be midoriya forcing one for all into shigaraki/afo and bc of the amount of power from unlocking all the quirks, it causes the quirk singularity theory to come true and the quirks all destroy themselves, leaving shigaraki and midoriya quirkless

Spoilers for 364 but like:
I spotted this meme for Romeo and Juliet on a different post and I of course jumped to a conclusion but like
Tumblr media
But like context is that it's Izuku finally getting to the UA battle...Seeing Kacchan "Dead"...
And like Romeo drinking poison instead of literally doing ANY other investigating or anything, skips past whatever Best Jeanist tells him and goes right to "GOES FUCKING APESHIT BECAUSE HIS BF IS DEAD."
Lord help me I found a Romeo/Juliet parallel to this situation
(Then Kacchan wakes up and sees Izuku fighting like he's got nothing more to lose ;n; But then they fight together and it's all good in the end IT'S FINE)
