Oh cool. They didn't even fucking include this last panel of Touya in the OVA.

Instead, they just show Shoto praying at Touya's altar.

Which doesn't even have Touya's picture on it anymore. They could have at least put that in, we've seen his altar before.

Didn't think MHA would find a way to piss me off one last time, but I am constantly being let down by this series. Really fucked up that the character whose whole issue is being ignored and neglected is treated the same way by the fucking anime itself.

T0ga is a mess...

I tried to avoid talking about her since she's such a beloved character but I can't help myself, T0ga annoys me and makes me uncofortable and her fans don't help at all...

In my opinion of all LOV T0ga is the one which HK least to know what do with, yeah she's pretty and likes to draw her but it doesn't reflect into her writing at all. She's the one with the less detailed backstory and quirk, which makes everyone keep doing assumptions that can't even be confirmed by canon itself how bad is that?

Regarding her backstory IN MY OPINION her reason to become a serial killer is the most stupid, again since there's nothing clear but just implications of her past I'm working with that. T0ga was obligated to repress her quirk, because her abusive parents thought it was weird or disgusting and also by her quirk conseliour, which all made her feel like she couldn't be herself and that's pretty sad don't get me wrong, but what get me the most is why she did start killing people? If it was just the ones who harmed her I would get it, but what anyone else has to do with that? And she has no remorse or anything but it's because everyone is terrible so she kills them? It doesn't make sense to her be a serial killer at all.

Her blood lust is full of holes, from what it seems at least when she was a child, she couldn't control or resist to suck blood of living beings, which makes sense since most quirks start "uncontrolled" and they learn how to deal with them through the years. But when she grows it really doesn't seem she needs them to survive or anything like that, if so we'll see T0ga attacking others way more impulsively especially the LOV so? And does she really need the blood of something alive? I really would like to understand why isn't she assaulting blood banks or licking the rest of blood in buthcer shops, I mean even when T0ga injuries people she doesn't start licking them or anything like that, actually it seems she has a really good self control regarding her quirk? Despite the narrative saying supposedly otherwise.

T0ga's "love" is the worst part of her character to me, it makes me uncomfortable and the way it was handled was yikes. She sees having other people blood as a form of love, so when T0ga assaults others to have their blood is like she's being affectionate but c'mon, do the folks she do that even want it? "Poor her, her way of showing love is just different!", yeah that's not the problem it can be different as hell, but the moment it desconsidarates others consent it's not love, it's assault. I've seen arguments that she can't ask for people blood because she will be rejected or be bullied by it, but guys no one is entitled to what T0ga wants, let's use a irl example to show how weird is that, a person you don't know is suddenly asking to kiss you, but you don't want it but they keep insisting and you keep refusing because it's your choice to, then they forcebly kiss you and even harms you in the process; it doesn't seems nice right? That's what T0ga does that's what people excuse, doesn't mean she has a different way to show love, that everyone needs to accept be loved that way, saying sutff like "harming others is the only way she can be herself and she wasn't taught consent" doesn't make any less harm and even traumatic to the victims, love doesn't make other people bodies entitled to you, like I already said this is abuse.

Also this is why I hate see it being "a metaphor for queerness" because as far as I know, queer love doesn't involve forcing people to do things they don't want, neither needing to harm others to love.

Everyone says she's the most redeemable character of LOV but it's the exact opposite, she's the less empathetic and has ZERO remorse for what she has done, T0ga would kill and suck others blood all over again if she could, because she doesn't see anything wrong with her actions, T0ga doesn't care about her victims or their families, "Oh but Ochako!" the only reason Ochako was saved was because she said and acted the ways T0ga wanted, if it wasn't by that the poor girl would be a corpse, she had various talks with Ochako before even in the fight itself and despite T0ga didn't think twice in trying to kill her.

The worst part of everything is how Horikoshi want us to feel pity for her but it doesnt' work for me, he literally boils down the things she done which is insane, she killed over 13 people for funsies and doesn't matter if her love harms others, she literally doesn't care about anything but herself. Horikoshi doesn't seem to grasp that was she done was THAT serious neither how selfish she is. Being honest I think folks only think she's more redemmable because she's a cute teenager and has a less detailed backstory especially regarding her crimes, no one thinks in the agony and despair the victims felt when T0ga happily killed them or forced them to give their bloods.

T0ga could be an amazing character and I really tried to like her but I can't, there's too much things wrong with that writing and it's kinda frustrating how babyfied she is in the fandom. I don't wanted her to morally right or anything, I love villains who lack empathy but the problem is that Horikoshi tried to make me feel bad and pity for a selfish serial killer just because she has a sad past and to worsen it makes her ideology and way of life as if it was an inspiring thing.

Can't believe mha, not just this collab, is gaslighting the whole fandom with this "childhood friends" bullshit and SOMEHOW it works. Is the fandom that dumb? Literally in the first chapter bakugo beat up izuku, who was protecting another kid from him and his posse.

This picture is from some collaboration:

My reaction to when Bakugo lost to Deku during the Battle Trials

[fandomluver-101]

Shoto Todoroki honestly had all the ingredients to be Izuku’s perfect narrative foil — not just a rival, but a character who naturally exposes the cracks in hero society. His entire existence is tied to the darker side of the world: quirk marriages, abusive pro‑heroes, and the unspoken eugenics baked into the culture. Through Shoto, the story brushes up against the idea that hero society isn’t just flawed, but actively harmful. That’s a level of thematic depth Bakugou simply can’t offer, because his issues are personal, not systemic. Shoto’s trauma is worldbuilding, and that alone makes him a far richer counterpoint to Izuku’s idealism.

If Shoto had been positioned as the main rival, the narrative could’ve explored hero corruption in a way that actually mattered. His father is the number two hero, a public figure who built his entire career on obsession, abuse, and image management. That’s a direct parallel to real‑world institutions like the police and their high rates of DV in their relationships/marriages. Bonus points because MHA heroes are just super powered cops. Izuku’s whole dream is to become a “symbol of peace,” and Shoto’s story challenges what that symbol even means. Their conflict could’ve been ideological, emotional, and political all at once would have been a layered rivalry that pushes both characters to grow.

Bakugou, by comparison, just doesn’t bring anything to the table beyond personal antagonism. His dynamic with Izuku is rooted in childhood bullying, inferiority complexes, and ego which could’ve been interesting if the story actually interrogated it. But instead, the narrative bends over backwards to protect him from consequences, flattening his arc into “angry boy learns teamwork.” There’s no worldbuilding attached to him, no deeper commentary, no thematic weight. He’s a character who exists in a vacuum, and the story treats him like he’s far more symbolically important than he actually is.

Meanwhile, Shoto’s design, backstory, and internal conflict all reinforce the themes MHA claims to care about. His split quirk visually represents the duality of inherited trauma. His upbringing exposes the rot inside hero society. His rebellion against Endeavor mirrors Izuku’s struggle to define heroism on his own terms. Even his early coldness toward Izuku makes sense. He’s someone who was raised to be a weapon, not a person. Every part of Shoto’s character naturally pushes the narrative toward deeper questions about power, legacy, and the cost of heroism. Since MHA seems to love a POS with alleged abusive parents, Shoto fits the bill perfectly

And honestly, that’s why he would’ve been the stronger foil. Izuku represents the hopeful, empathetic vision of heroism; Shoto represents the consequences of a society that treats heroes like commodities. Their rivalry could’ve been a conversation about what heroism should be versus what heroism has become. Bakugou can’t offer that — he’s just a loud detour. Shoto is the character who actually forces the story to confront its own world, and the fact that he wasn’t used that way is one of MHA’s biggest missed opportunities.

It really was a major missed opportunity, but also done because Hori doesn't actually see anything wrong with the world he created. Which is majorly screwed when you think about because like you said, Shoto is a product of multiple flaws baked into the world building.

A major part of my disdain for Bakugo is that he has no narrative purpose beyond backstory. His presence takes away so much from the story and the characters around him, but seeing just how much is ruined in regards to character dynamica and world building is so disappointing. Because it's all there, the foundation for a genuinely good story that explores serious topics and confronts it well.

Instead, Shoto's everything gets thrown out. Because now him being the product of an ego-fueled quirk marriage, severe abuse, grooming, and isolation, and so forth just isn't part of his character anymore. It gets minimized into disliking his father as opposed to defying his abuser and groomer to become his own person.

And truly, his dynamic with Izuku was ruined due in part to Bakugo always being around.

Way too many characters get this, not even jist Shoto, but he's one of the most egregious examples. Because both he and Dabi get ruined for the sake of Endeavor despite how important their characters and their archetypes were for the world building and story involving a corrupt society.

The same happens with Shigaraki, minimized into an "inner child" rather than the barely legal adult who's character was a product of bystander syndrome and other aspects of society's failures and yet still had multiple redeeming traits that could've seen him being saved.

Then again with Hawks who remains a tool while never being acknowledged as such by anyone, used as a mouthpiece to maintain status quo and push the idea of Endeavor not being the villain for so many people. Like, Hawks' similarities to Dabi, Shoto, Shigaraki, and Izuku are major and nothing gets done with it beyond twisted into praising Endeavor - when it should've been used to show the problem with the world Hori created.

And it happens with Rei, however minor a character she's meant to be. Because she was a vulnerable child taken advantage of and never had agency to begin with - the moment the story even veers towards her having any, it's taken away for the sake of Endeavor and minimizing shit that should not be minimized. Because in her story, it isn't just a quirk marriage - she was sold by her family, brought by a man that forced her to have his "tools," abused physically and mentally, institutionalized the moment she broke under all of it, denied any agency and isolated, and then pretty much forced to accept her abuser (becase lets be honest, Rei has no financial stability and now two of her kids are forgiving Endeavor, she'd lose far more than she'd gain by rejecting him).

So many gripes I have come from "why include this if you aren't going to treat it with respect." There was no point in introducing any of these topics with ANY of these characters, least of all one like Shoto who, like you said, is a product of major issues within MHA that allows people in power to get away with it. Like, Endeavor doesn't even suffer career wise the way he should've despite being in a very idol-esque position where pros are expected to have a certain image.

Reminds me of a certain Wonderboy

[blank468]

Whoever was running this account could have literally used any photo of the late Juli Erickson(AKA Recovery Girl). They could have even just used that one tiny image of Recovery Girl in the cover. But no, they just had to put this bum.

[suchusoid]

See, the thing about bakugonthat makes his fanbase so annoying is that he could try to kill a man in broad daylight and they would still make excuses for why he doesn't need to face conseuquences.

And I'm not being hyperbolic btw. Because when I brought up how bakugo tried tourder takeshi bushijima in broad daylight and not only faced zero consequences for it, but even got praised by the hero he was interning under for his killer instinct in a discussion about bakugo to someone in a discussion about him, they had this to say.

Well, it looks like they got me, I don't got any eveidnece here and-

PSYCHE!

Maybe bakugo fans should take their own advice and "read the manga".

And no, takeshi hugging bakugo at the end doesn't make up for the fact that bakugo just tried to put him six feet under mere moments ago.

Bakugo glazers really don't have any media literacy do they? They just regurgitate the same narrative gaslighting that they fell for hook line and sinker.

[blank468]

Wonder boy can call Momo something offensive after getting petty that she scored higher than him on a test and his stans will try and justify him.

[anti-katsuki-lounge]

And even more Katsuki bashing:

(Most of its talking about baby Katsuki)

[universallycutefunnyangel]

Crocodile tears and still no proper apology btw

[blank468]

The fact that we don’t see Inko at all in this scene is baffling. You think after the war ends there would be this big emotional reunion with Izuku and his mother. Of course Horikoshi has shown that he doesn’t really care about his main character, so instead let’s just have first world problems Wonder boy spill out crocodile tears about not being able to have his way with his victim after ease dropping.

[blank468]

Note: I find it baffling that Horikoshi never thought to make a quirkless supervillain to truly challenge his main character. I guess someti

[blank468]

I was originally going to make an extremely long post about this but honestly I’m just tired. So I’m going to let you discuss, cause I can’t take it anymore.

Rex splode is everything bakugo wishes he could be

after watching invincible, I've noticed it also has a hot-headed superhero with explosion based superpowers: rex splode.

Going, I expected myself to loathe rex the same way I did bakugo, after watching the whole series...I was pleasantly surprised. While rex did start out in a similar vain to bakugo, he actually became a much better character throughout the show, and has become one of the beloved characters in the whole series. So how what does rex splode do right that bakugo does wrong? Well, let me break it down for you.

First, is that his powers feel more consistant. Rex can touch obkects and make them explosive. Ths show doesn't try to give him new powers as it goes on, instead simply javing him use it in more ways. Bakugo's quirk can seemingly do whstever the plot demands. It can propel him, but also has no recoil when he shoots at somebody. He uses up sweat as ammunition, but his powers aren't inhibited by the cold, nor does he ever suffer dehydration from overuse. And let's not forget all the deus ex machina power ups he gets in the war arc.

Next, is that rex's actions have actual consequences. When rex cheats on eve with kate, they both dump him when he's caught. When he picks a fight with monster girl at tryouts, she opens up a fresh, pipin' hot can of whoopass stew on him. When iguana bites his hand off, he needs a prosthetic afterwards, as opposed to judt have the doctors find a way to regenrate his arm. When he sacrifices himself to defeat one the evil invincible variants, he DIES. He doesn't magically come back later. Rex's actions have consequences, lasting consequences that don't just go away an episode later. Bakugo could shoot a child in broad daylight, in front of the police station or pro heroes, and nobody would bat an eyelash. His actions have no lasting conseauences. He treats evrryone around him like shit, yet everyone wants to be his friend. He makes an ass of himself on public broadcast, yet had thousands of agencies clamoring to have him as an intern. He rushes into problems without thinking, yet is ranked higher than izuku in intelligence. He is hot-headed, impatient, and prone to lashing out over petty nonsense, yet he is apparent good st cooking and being drummer, tso things which rewuire for more patience and level-headedness than bakugo's ever demonstrated. Bakugo fails the provisional exam, yet still has the procters wanking him off, and he gets right back up with the others from an out of character scene before going back to his same old self. He "dies" twice only to be brought back to full health through the most bs ways possible. He is unpopulsr with civilians becuase he can't stop screaming like a maniac, yet shoots up to the no.5 place.

finally, rex actually has a noticeable change in his attitude later on. In his earlier scenes, we see him intentionally try to start shit with people, and intentionally act like dickhead. But later on, we see a noticeable change in his behavior. Sure, he still has a snarky sense of humor, but he isn't just bordering on being a jackass anymore. We also see him on friendlier terms with mark later on, and he is quick to help him during marks big blowout with cecil. Bakugo on the other hand, hasn't changed a bit. He still makes tasteless suicide jokes, he still treats othsrs like crap, he still cneters his life sround his delusional one-sided rivalry with izuku, he still loses his mind of petty stuff, he still tries to brute force his way out of problems. The only differenc eis that now everyone is so weirdly casual and permissive of bakugo's dangerous, maladjusted, and borderline sociopathic behavior that they make caillou's parent's look strict and no-nonsense by comparision.

So yeah, the comparision of rex and bakugo is like comparing a pile of sistine chapel to a bundle of toilet paper soaked in septic water.

Nothing in My Hero Academia makes any sense.

Looking back at this series made me realize how much a lot of stuff never made any sense. A lot of stuff just happens without any rhyme or reason.

What is your opinion on the Card OVA(UA Heroes Battle OVA)?

I’m asking because I didn’t bother watching. I knew from the announcement that it was going to be an advertisement for a card game that I highly doubt anyone played. I heard from a small crowd that it just featured more Bakugo gloating, pointless shenanigans with Class 1A and the entire class getting punished for something that Bakugo did.
