Hii, how are ya?about the recents ask on kirishima and as a formally mha manga fan well... it makes me really sad and reflexive to think about the wasted potential and the negative way bakugo affects other characters :/ if only bakugo had actually changed and develop at least the situation would be more understable. Anyways recently re reading the manga i just wanted to say all those ask bring really good points, yet im sorry as an still kiri fan these days and feeling attachment to him i don't completly agree and have to defend him a little </3 can't really speak about other mha media but in the manga at least more clearly in the beginning kirishima wasn't in my opinion the yes man to bkg or dormant to his bad attitude, maybe these instants aren't very significant but they are still there, calling out all might to stop the exercise saying bkg is crazy and wanted to kill izuku, calling a jerk when he turn the other students agains 1-A, telling him not to be rude to shinsou, calling him an idiot for going his own way in the license exam, like idk it's frustrating because back in the day it really seem their relationship was going to be significant and develop so much more, kamino was the first significant step towards a right direction, it had an emphaisis in the story but then..well nothing happened after that, and that's were the problem starts which was really sad cause at that time their bond(never ship them) seem very sweet to me, bkg was still an horrible person and needed to do so much more to improve but in these instants it seem he still kinda had a soft spot for someone and gave a little reciprocity or a "kind" action(giving kr money), encouragement(the rappa fight flasback)at least in "his way" it was the only positive thing he had going on for me and i think so much more had to have happened after all of this, but then hori seem to forget completely about these two so we just had to assume they were friends now because we were told so thought never actually really shown except for the few(i can testify to this) interactions they have which all can paint this bad image of kr's purpose just to be bkg cheerleader and remind us that he "changed".

Excuse my english and all this blabler that became this really long ass essay but just wanted to share this with u, can't really hold some things against kr cause i still love him from a far and i'm sad that his closeness to that gary stue harmed his potential and sweet character that he still is cause he's not the only one that suffer from this bkg influence(that still doesn't make this situation better) will still read and love fix it's were they show him directly confront bakugou and take real actions that make bkg really change, take responsibilty and atone for all he's done

You bring up a very good point and it’s that Ejiro wasn’t always Katsuki’s “yes man”. Same thing with Denki. They vocalized disagreements with things Katsuki did. Sadly it’s once we hit the post-Sports Festival arc that the characters lose their sense of agency. Where they would normally voice their disagreement (even if it was brushed aside) became them supporting Katsuki every step of the way. Like I’ve said before Ejiro has some of the best writing in the series but it’s unfortunately sucked away by Katsuki the leech.

here are my thoughts of all the filler/anime original content (filler) added to the bnha anime except i’m not looking up a list this is just everything i can remember

iirc there wasn’t really any filler in season 1 (probably because they had the least episodes to work with and a brand new show doesn’t really want to waste viewer time on boring/unimportant content) BUT season 1 did come with the first OVA which, although it was pretty forgettable, had some genuinely fun moments i.e. iida and uraraka’s very cute interactions and that part where 13 praises bkg like “he’ll surely become a beautiful hero” and sero’s like “well, he’ll never be beautiful”. i don’t have bad feelings towards it but since all the rest of the OVAs and even though i’m complaining about training exercise plots the show had just started and it was still a good way to get new viewers acquainted with the class

okay so this is gonna get wordy but bear with me: since anime moved away from the “popular series air year round” structure to the “popular series air in 1-2 cour chunks at a time” the definition of filler changed a lot - in like the early 2010s all you’d hear is “naruto is unwatchable because of how much time they waste on meaningless filler arcs” and i’ve never watched naruto myself but i’d imagine the fact that studios were expected to air 50 episodes a year was a huge part of why it turned out like that. but since things are different now the game is more about “how much of our original story can we fit into a short burst of episodes, and if we have extra time, what can we do to expand on it” and i think bnha proved in season 2 that they were really good at playing that game! s2 does not waste any filler time. like. that tsuyu episode is one of the most beloved episodes of the season and a GREAT example of how to use an extra episode to give a minor character some time to shine while also checking in on some other characters (i’m not gonna get into jean man thoughts right now but Bakugou Makes Kids Cry was a really good scene to expand on how horikoshi first wrote that internship and sorta. a part of why everything after it feels less credible)

s2 also had the OVA with the zombies and tsuyu’s backstory which only took up the first few minutes BUT made it so that OVA checked off both the boxes of adding something to the story while also just being fun to watch. that scene at the end where all might offers a mummified deku cake in the hospital and he’s just like “i can’t eat this” is just so good

obviously i’m biased about pool episode but also i think krbks are the only people who came out of that episode really happy. other than really firmly establishing their friendship (which is actually really good & important buildup to kamino) it’s a pretty clunky way to recap the characters and not even all of the flashback sequences were really handled in a way that made sense. i think the concept of a pool episode/race could’ve been done better if they had spent more time on it but what’s there is fine and it’s always nice to see the kids being kids. still don’t get why the girls didn’t get to race though

i remember being so excited when miss saiko intelli was revealed because that was one of the first anime original GIRLS and i thought everything about the fight with her was fun! very fun watching her and her weird school friends, very fun watching momo and jirou work together while shouji held tsuyu like a baby. i enjoyed it

i hate that mystery episode. like. not all filler really has to add anything to the story, if it was a really fun and exciting episode that would’ve been just fine but the whole episode was just deku walking around explaining a mystery that the audience had no chance of figuring out on their own. i liked the shot where all the kids poked their heads out from behind a corner in a little stack though

i don’t remember if it was that episode or not but i do remember there also being a scene with melissa sort of promoing the movie in the anime which i didn’t mind because it was pretty quick and well integrated

i liked the first episode of season 4! camera guy’s quirk was cool, there were a lot of fun shots of the kids, and i thought the moment with him and deku at the end was really heartwarming. i don’t 100% remember what it was but it was heartwarming

season 4 had a good amount of side arcs and the school festival arc was lighthearted and character-focused enough that i don’t think they had or needed any filler but also if i’m wrong please don’t correct me about it i like living with the mystery

i just put this in the tags for that ask 1 second ago but season 4 ova was. boring. especially because they got 2 episodes to work with and decided to do another training episode. not much came out of it plot or character-wise other than 3 musketeers (is that what we’re calling them now .) working together and bkg accepting deku as a cane to lean on. those were good scenes but they could’ve shown them in a different scenario (like in team up mission!). idk what there really is to gain from making ovas anyway (unless they’re on a streaming service or something?) so i guess profit isn’t really the issue at hand but you gotta imagine that the people in charge know that another training exercise OVA isn’t gonna be the most exciting thing possible for fans. i’m not gonna demand that they make a fantasy au OVA or anything but if they had the resources to make 44 minutes of new animation and content it feels like a waste that they repeated what they already did without really fleshing anything new out

#just saw a reply on that last ask saying 'come on that ova was great' so if you wanna talk abt it genuinely come into my inbox #i didn't enjoy it but also if you wanna tell me why you did i will 100% listen #anyway this is me rambling for many many words which is one of my favorite things to do #i've been watching jenny nicholson videos this whole weekend and i love that format of just talking for a really long time about something #you care about/have a lot of thoughts on #so! these are my thoughts and opinions #if you've read this far i feel like you deserve like a dollar or a chocolate bar or something #thoughts

Ah, that’s fair: different metric, different ranking. The picture of the bk vs dk aftermath frames it (for me) like bkg runs into trouble like some of his other classmates tend to. But yes, you are absolutely right, Aizawa was without a doubt highly worried and stressed at the time. It’s just sad that we rarely see him even looking at bkg or todo in concern of their mental wellbeing or acting on it (outside the endeavor vs high-end fight). He is rather good at it with Deku in the overhaul arc

To be fair, Aizawa is introduced as a hard-ass, very strict homeroom teacher (All Might even sees him as a hurdle) and we don’t really see him initially be personable with his students (or anyone) at all.

He proves he is an incredible hero in USJ who would die for his students, but we only start to see his more caring side first at the Sport Festival, when he defends Bakugou to the booing crowd (I’m not convinced he had anything to do with muzzling Bakugou).

And we saw during the finals too how well he understands his students and their individual weaknesses (like Momo’s insecurity). And anyone watching him during and in the aftermath of the Kamino arc cannot claim that he doesn’t care about them individually.

But still, his teaching philosophy remains letting the students experience failure and hard consequences (which is why he never prepared his class specifically for the Hero Licence exam the same way all other teachers did), rather than be out there unprepared and die (like Shirakumo).

I was honestly baffled a bit though that he hasn’t reached out neither to Bakugou after the kidnapping, and especially when he failed the exam, or to Todoroki, once it became apparent at the Sport Festival that he was going through some serious mental issues or after he failed the licencing exam.

But in retrospect, we can see that he let Bakugou off rather easy for fighting Deku, precisely because he realized that it was a mental breakdown, and he cared enough to go with them to the remedial courses (on his weekends) until he couldn’t because of Eri, at which point he made sure both All Might and Present Mic went.

He also reaches out to Deku and the others during the Overhaul arc to give them emotional support.

I think two of his top students failing the provisional exam, and the Deku v. Kacchan 2 fight serve as a wake-up call for him that he cannot neglect his students’ mental well-being and while raising self-reliant heroes is all good, they are kids, and need emotional support from time to time. And he becomes better. He drops everything to get to Todoroki during the Endeavor fight, even escorts him home and waits for him outside during the family dinner. And we see him becoming kinder, softer, more empathic, more involved.

At the end of the day, Aizawa is not a very experienced homeroom teacher, he has a challenging class in exceptional times, when said class went through multiple attacks. He has clearly good intentions and cares, and he learns from his mistakes, which is why I really like him compared to the “perfect master” type of characters.
