My singular dissatisfaction about the final season is the exclusion of 431, largely this page.
The way episode 11 ends can come off as Deku going back to being solely a hero, and not everyone is going to watch the end credits.
This page is the ACTUAL conclusion to Deku
One thing that I didn’t like about the initial reception of the MHA ending was the assumption that MHA society hasn’t changed in 8 years. That was such a disingenuous take.
“Society didn’t change in the 8 year timeskip” Compare this post timeskip middle school scene to the one Deku was in at the beginning of the series. Now only a handful of kids actually want to be a hero now that villains aren’t appearing as much anymore
429 is the ending for One For All as a power used to connect people
430 is the ending for Deku and the others as heroes
431 is the ending for Deku and the others as people
You need all three to learn the story’s full lesson
when shoyo realizes that he is not disappointed by the fact that his idol has stopped playing volleyball, as shoyo is driven by his own motivations, his own passions, and is his own character 🧡
ADHD is crazy bc you will be paralyzed from doing anything most of the time but u also have the superpower of getting hyperfixated on one meal or song and curing a months-long depression.
i’m still at the restaurant. the lights are off and the food is cold. but how much love must you carry for someone for your dead body’s first instinct to be to protect them. for your dead heart to try and save them
Not sure if this is a hot take or not but I think the appeal of Denji and Reze as a dynamic is that they fundamentally do not work in their environment but the fantasy that they could live a normal life together feels like a nostalgic memory which makes it feel so powerful.
