Not to be Dramatic™️ on main but I’m still utterly wounded we’ll never get to see Izuku, Star & Stripe, and All Might altogether

#DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MYCH THIS H UR. T S S S S ME #I JUST KNOW IZUKU AND STAR & STRIPE WOULD’VE GOTTEN ALONG VERY WELL ESPECIALLY OVER THEIR ADMIRATION OF TOSHINORI #AND HE WOULD’VE BEEN SO FLUSHED!!!! #Yagi Toshinori #All Might #Cathleen Bate #Star and Stripe #BNHA 364 #MHA 364 #BNHA #MHA #Boku No Hero Academia #My Hero Academia #Ani Rambles

It’s been a hot minute since I read the S&S chapters so forgive me if I’m getting some details wrong but I believe there’s a way to look at the S&S fight without labeling it as an unnecessary fight

It’s about how S&S was inspired by All Might, much like Izuku. However, S&S is a kind of justice that’s ignorant, that uses excessive force to win a fight, that believes what she is doing is in the best of interests but refuses to see it any other way

It’s like. It’s a fight with only one ending, between two/three stubborn enemies

One who believes what she is doing is the only right way but actively goes out of her way to kill the enemy no matter what, one who will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants and controls his victim’s mind and body (takes away his autonomy to the point where they aren’t “separate people” but instead “one person”), and one who is a victim in all of this but wholeheartedly believes he was always bad and so has his heart set on destruction despite the fact that, deep down, he wants to be saved

It’s sad because if S&S had taken All Might’s influence and HADN’T turned it into a whole Strength thing, if she was someone like Izuku who saw All Might’s influence and learned that incredible power should be used to save, not to kill, then she probably could have stopped TomurAFO, captured him and taken him to All Might or something

I believe the point of S&S, one of the points at least, is that if you solely view All Might’s existence as a power fantasy, then you’re getting nowhere and completely missing what it means to be a hero

Look at it this way - S&S’ role in the manga was just to rule out one route the story could have taken

Anybody looking at TomurAFO and thinking “If All Might were in his prime form, HE could have taken him out and the world would be saved!” is then faced with a character who was inspired a lot by All Might and gives off the impression that they can do anything (COUGH confident intimidating appearance COUGH a quirk that allows the user incredible power COUGH)

She then serves her purpose by cutting AFO’s quirks down by half, showing that not everybody inspired by All Might does the right thing and shows the audience that Tomura immediately thought about Izuku when “someone who will inherit the will of heroism” is mentioned

Yes, while someone like All Might may be able to go head to head with TomurAFO and do some real damage, the point ISN’T that TomurAFO needs to be defeated and killed

The point is that TomurAFO is a fusion of an abuser and his victim, and anybody who NEEDS help should be given that help no matter what

S&S, someone similar to All Might who COULD have killed TomurAFO and prevented destruction, someone who saw his death as the only way to end this, is taken out of the running

Enter: Izuku Midoriya

You know, the one Tenko thought of at the mention “inheriting the will of heroism”

Idk I just. I can’t see the S&S chapters as pointless. They serve their purpose by letting the reader know that force and death is not the way out of this, that it’s not the story this manga is trying to tell

#also buff woman fanservice but we been knew #hori isn't subtle #BUT ALSO #if you're looking at it from an analysis pov #it does have its purpose #and if you're like 'but metty it was already super clear that death wasn't the way out of this-' #i can ASSURE YOU that there were people then - and people even now - who have not gotten the memo #bnha #bnha manga spoilers #i really need people to see that some stuff in this manga that's labelled as unnecessary or pointless #is really just... ruling out options the reader may think of #all might in his prime - excessive force - 'death is the only way out of this' etc #it just so happens that s&s encompasses all those 3 #also its basically people saying 'but what if-' and hori shutting those ideas down by saying 'no. can't. see? nothing changed #except tomura's hatred grew. the only way this ends is with saving and understanding and acceptance :)' #bnha spoilers #stars and stripes #tomura shigaraki #mettys posts #metty posts

The 90's of Prince presented us with the problems the superstars of the previous eras had despite the fact most of them had many favourable circumstances then. Still, there were some cases, such as The Beach Boys, which made you sigh then. The group I mentioned, for instance, had a reputation, though the latter was built on their past. Stars & Stripes Vol. 1 showed that and, to be honest, they did have a correct idea, i.e. they covered their own hits with some modern country singers. However, they botched this principle immensely, because the entire thing feels like a fan karaoke at some times. Sure, there are some collaborations, such as the piece you hear on the link, where you can trace the best possible version of Stars & Stripes Vol. 1. Sadly, even these settled for good enough.

Love thinking about how S&S - someone who proclaimed herself as justice, who only saw her opponent as an enemy to take down and go home, who used force to try and win without considering that Tomura needed to be saved - died, while Nagant - someone who saw the injustice in Hero society, wronged by the HC, who used to take down her enemies and go home but over time became more aware until her conscience couldn’t take it anymore, the fact that a so-called “Villain”, ex-Hero, still HAD her conscience after everything - got to live

Like Hori could not have made it more obvious what story he is going for here

#also the fact that like #s&s was inspired by all might and im assuming thats one of the things that lead to her only thinking about strength #because she thought about the power in a person being the number one hero and not the influence #the power she could have had in saving #while lady nagant was inspired by izuku - all mights student - to fight alongside them and that lead to her making the right choice #to fight for an ACTUAL brighter future #the connectionsss #bnha #bnha manga spoilers #bnha spoilers #stars and stripes #lady nagant #mettys posts #metty posts
