![]() ![]() Even when he gets a better handle on it all, he often ends up doing himself serious injury as a result of his goals to win. Less Good Things / Trigger WarningsĮarly on when Deku is trying to get a handle on his power he often breaks limbs. 98% of the time he seems sleepy and bored but if you fuck up he will fuck you up. He’s a dour, grumpy man who takes his duty of seeing his students safe incredibly seriously, and despite his grumpiness, you will find yourself growing attached to him. Shigeraki, who’s quirk is Decay - if he touches his thumb and all four fingers to something they start to break down, which he uses very effectively to threaten people:Īnd Eraserhead - Aizawa - who has the power to “erase” Quirks when a person is in his sightline and who is the students homeroom teacher. Other good characters are the villain Dabi: I’m biased when it comes to Todoroki, but if you liked the feels that Zuko gave you when watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, you’ll probably have a blast with Todoroki. This image adds two more characters as well as Froppy in the bottom left there, and Ochaco, Deku, Iida and Bakugo in the middle, the redhead on the left is Kirishima, who can make his skin super tough, and the one on the left is my favourite Todoroki. ![]() That’s not even the full cast. This image misses out one of my favourite of Deku’s entire class - Todoroki - as well as some of my favourite non-student characters, such as the villain Shigeraki and the teacher Aizawa. Left to right (ignoring Mineta) you’ve got Ochaco, who’s Quirk lets her make things weightless, Deku, who is gifted a superpower by another, Bakugo, who is a dick but who actually gets reasonable character development, Iida, who’s a stick in the mud but a hilarious stick in the mud, and Froppy, who is darling and adorable. Ignoring Mineta (the tiny one on the far left) all of the characters are GREAT. Its distinct and gorgeous and lets them go a bit out there with the body shapes and designs - things that wouldn’t easily work IRL, as you can see if you look up the character designs for the live action play - but also the animation style, the writing in general, the questions raised, the emotions they inspire and goddamn the music and use of musical motifs is amazing. ![]() Um… everything? The animation is amazing, they get the style of the manga, so far as I can tell, and then they just animate it so perfectly. The story shows us this and then continues on, introducing a fantastic cast of characters (and Mineta) and shows Deku’s journey to becoming a hero, gaining control of a power gifted to him, as well as building the world around it, raising criticisms about the idea of paid heroes (most effectively questioned by Hero Killer Stain in one of the most badass fights in the series) as well as about the stability of a society who relies on their one symbol of peace to feel and be safe. To all of Japan, in this setting, All Might is a symbol of peace - he’s never been bested.ĭeku wants more than anything to be a hero… and when one day he meets All Might, he gets that chance. But, above all, he wants to be a hero, and idolises All Might, the number one Hero and hero who the majority of aspiring Heroes (and even some current heroes) consider to be a goal and an ideal. Izuku “Deku” Midoriya is one of a minority: he has no Quirk at all. In order to try to limit unaccountable damages, Heroes become a government managed part of society, with Heroes having to pass tests, gain licenses and many end up working in agencies in order to help specific areas or work with specific things - one Hero, for example, who’s Quirk is “Seal” (he can do pretty much anything a seal can) works with coastguard and counter-smuggling efforts. Due to the rise in superpowers there’s been a rise in super crime and, perhaps unexpectedly, vigilante heroes. The premise is that superpowers started to crop up, called “quirks”, and its at a point where the majority of people in the world have them. Well here I’m specifically talking about the anime (I’ve not read the manga yet though I will once I’ve caught up on Ancient Magus Bride and the next volume I need to get for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) and well… its an anime. Which is a shame because this anime is so damn good. So this was meant to go up last week but a lot happened or to be more accurate Everything happened and I ended up too exhausted and busy to write this rec post. ![]()
