BNHA/MHA OP 6 by Blue Encount
WE SERIOUSLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT
And more especially the covers made by AmaLee and NateWantsToBattle because they will help us to understand better the opening. You may get spoilers from the manga so if youāre not following the manga donāt read that post, stop it here. Also theories in coming for Bakugou and the movie Heroes Rising.
LETāS START THE ANANLYSE OF THESE BEAUTIFUL COVERS. Iām starting with AmaLee coverā¦
AmaLeeās cover of the opening 6 is focusing mainly on the storyline of season 4 of the anime.
Letās start with the two first line of the song
On that day I swore I would keep you safe, itās a promise I have made in my heart.
The promise is referring to the one that Mirio and Midoriya made, the one to save Eri and protect her from anyone who would like to harm her. And itās still the case in the manga.
If I had to give my world to save a life I would, Iād sacrifice everything and wouldnāt even thinking twice.
The heroes participating to Eriās rescue operation know they could lose big and not only their lives. ( Thanks a lot bullets who can destroy the quirk factor of a human being.) However and since it concern the life of a little girl they donāt really have a plan theyāve just went into the yakuzas hideout and planned to take them down by fighting. This line can make a parallel with All Might and his will to save and help everyone and he always done this without a plan, itās probably something Sir Nighteye had reproached him when he was sidekick and it went like this when All Might choose Midoriya as the next wielder of One For All. After all, Nighteye didnāt hide his displeasure as the choice made by All Might. The next line amplify the idea of sacrificeā¦
Every day somebody makes a sacrifice and thatās why weāre able to continue on fight and live our lives.
Fat Gum, Red Riot and Sun Eater are the first ones to fight the members of the Eight Precepts of Death. They choose to stay behind and fought those villains to permit to Sir Nighteye, Eraserhead and the rest of the team to save Eri from Overhaul. However like we have seen Tamaki and Kirishima are both out and severely injuried and Fat Gum is on a better shape than his interns but it wonāt be able to join the others so they have to count on the others. But Iām afraid my dear anime watchers only, those three arenāt the worst when the fight against Chisaki will be over.
I wonāt run away and hide in the past, I will become the me that Iām striving to be.
The first time theyāve met Eri, Lemillion and Deku couldnāt save her and they have regrets which haunted them but once they knew what Chisaki was doing to her, we could feel their powerless and possible uselessness but they turned it into a new determination and renew at the same time their interior promise which is to save Eri but also to accomplish their respective goals.
Even if is nothing more than a hopeful wish, I hope I can reach you just a little bit.
Deku is the first one to have touch Eri with his right hand (the scarred one after his fight against Todoroki, this right hand is a 100 % bless by god himself) and he realized she was trembling in his arms. He tried to do anything to sve her but you know how it turns the first time. But Aizawa told Midoriya that his hand has reached the little girl and he is fucking right because a few seconds later we see Eri and her thoughts and it was the first time someone touched her with a warm hand which is different from all the others contact human she had before.
Even if the fading light is all we know letās go.
The problem with this operation is that while the heroes have to fight the obstacles put by Chisaki, Overhaul is escaping with Eri so Deku and the others has to hurry Ā up before itās too late but theyāre still hope since Mirio went ahead however it doesnāt mean he will hold long against Chisaki⦠If he catch himā¦
Iāve finished with AmaLeeās version so that meansā¦
Time to Analyse of the cover made by NateWantsToBattle.
First of all, I wanted to say that I realize something⦠Polaris can also help us to understand the movie Heroes Rising. Yep youāve read this well even if the opening 6 isnāt the theme song for Heroes Rising. And like someone said it on a Tumblr post, NateWantsToBattle said BakuDeku rights, well dude you donāt know how much youāre saying the truth. The first part concern Midoriya until the end of the first chorus then the second verse and second chorus talked about Bakugou and maybe his intimate thoughts towards Midoriya and the third verse itās the two of them or at least I think. (Maybe the movie will be divided in different parts: one centered around Midoriya, an another with Bakugou, the third part will be the class and BakuDeku to finally finish with Katsuki beating the crap out of Nine by using One For All.)
Before I start with this cover, I want to precise that in the second part I will make theories about Bakugouās behavior towards Midoriya, if you donāt like what Iām gonna to say then thereās no need to show your displeasure in the comments of this post or by reblogging.
Iāve decided I will follow my heart, Promise yours will always be right near me
Midoriyaās actions are always due to the fact he wants to save people, itās what he always wanted to do since he was 4, he wanted to become a hero. All Might has been the first one to believe in him after he said that the true heroes are always the one who moved their legs before they could think. And Midoriya never forgot who had help him to become what he is (even though it was all thanks to the hard work he did) and he eep those memories everywhere.
What if you could take the chance to save a life but you, you could only save them by losing everything ?
Bakugou and Midoriya has to protect two children (seriously what is the thing with children ? First Kota, then Eri and now those two⦠What Nine wants from them ? Their quirks ? They must be pretty OP then.) from Nine, the villain of Heroes Rising and we can clearly see in the trailer that Midoriya is the one who will loose everything. At multiple times, it will be One For All but for different reasons, first it will be Nine who will try to steal it:
I doubt it will be the only time would want to steal Dekuās quirk.
Then by giving it temporarily to Bakugou:
Then we can suppose it will Izukuās life who will be in danger because he will be in a critical situation
Maybe he will ādieā because of too much injuries or maybe because he lose One For All. Like @thebroccolidragonā has said in this post maybe because One For All have reamains of the souls of the previous holders inside the vestiges then maybe by stealing One For All to Midoriya, Nine is forcefully absorbing a part of Midoriyaās soul. And if Izuku is really passing One Fo All to Katsuki then it will explain why we can see Bakugouās silhoutte inside the One For All in a few pages of the manga. You want a proof ? Go see this post of @half-for-allā .
If I fall you know I would swim through oceans of my tears to be with you
All his life, Deku admired All Might but also Bakugou because he is Izukuās image of victory. Even if Bakugou is one of his bully, he still have admiration for him and when One For All was transferred o him, his goal was to catch up his childhood friend, to be on the same level and become his rival. Which he made it. But it doesnāt mean Izuku didnāt suffer during all these years when he was Quirkless which means he had to put eforts to become a hero and be respected by his pairs.
Say Goodbye, I donāt have the strength to let it all end.
Izuku is so persistent he didnāt perceive Katsuki as his bully but as his childhood friend and probably best friend, he even kept the nickname āKacchanā. And U.A. was a chance to improve their relation which went south when Deku has been diagnosed as Quirkless. His efforts finally pay after the Provisional License exam when they fought and revealed what they have in the heart and now they are rivals.
All I wanted was you to stay and not disappear.
I think Izuku canāt imagine his life without Bakugou being involved somehow whatever it is in a platonic way, as friends or maybe as a couple (everyone have their own preferences) and thatās why he has been so shocked when the League Of Villains managed to capture Bakugou. For him, it was unthinkable that someone captured Katsuki successfully because in Midoriyaās mind, Bakugou wouldnāt allow it without a fight. Hell, Iām sure Bakugou prefers to die than to be a prisoner or an hosage. Somehow Deku needs to be near to Kacchan to be stronger.
It feels like every day Iām fighting for my life
Bakugou sees everything and everyone has a challenge so he push his limits to be stronger. And we donāt forget his quirk which can hurt his arms when his body canāt endure the explosions anymore. However his biggest challenge is Midoriya but maybe not for the reasons we thinkā¦
But I, Iām never backing down Iām gonna prove Iām strong for you.
Since theyāve met, Katsuki and Izuku wanted to become a duo of heroes but a lot of things has change since Bakugou got his quirk: he was praised by his teachers and his comrades, he just has to wait for Izuku to manifest his quirk which never came. And what if Bakugouās reason to become a hero was to protect Midoriya from the villains or from the danger because he knows how much his childhood friend is followed by problems. But because of how the society worked and how they disrespect Quirkless, his thoughts has been twisted and he shown his protective side with violence which has been perceive as bullying by Deku. The only way Katsuki has found to protect his friend was to first train his quirk and become stronger for Izu sake and to show the cinnamon roll how dangerous the world of heroes can be when we are Quirkless. But U.A. changed everything, suddenly his friend developp a quirk, become stronger, seems to have All Might favors and beat him which frustrated Katsuki because he realized Izuku doesnāt need to be protected by someone and of course Bakugou felt useless. However he gave him a new reason to become stronger: He has to make sure to be ahead of Izuku if he really wants to protect his friend. But he has to do it too because he saw the damage of Midoriyaās quirk on his friend body and he realized something when Izuku kept breaking his bones.
I donāt think Iām afraid to lose and fail a fight, I was always so afraid I might be losing you.
He canāt live in a world without Midoriya because if Midoriya dies then he doesnāt have a reason to become a hero anymore. Personnally, I donāt remember Bakugou losing a fight and his victories are always so small if he compared them to Izuku. I mean⦠He just stop Kurogiri while Izuku literally break his legs in purpose to save All Might at the U.S.J., his fight against Todoroki in the Sports Festival wasnāt serious only Deku pushed Shoto to use his fire, during the internships he was just patrolling while Midori fought Stain along with Iida and Todoroki then came my favourite part, the practical exam and the training camp.
Letās start with the practical exam: Bakugou has been paired with Midoriya, we know both of them has been surprised but maybe Bakugou was already forming a plan to make sure the green bean boy was safe but all hope may have been crushed when it was decide their enemy was All Might himself. Katsuki brain went into absolute protective mode and thatās why he told he preferred to lose the fight than to ask help from Deku meaning I prefer to lose the fight than to see my only friend being hurt by you or by using his quirk. But it isnāt the only moment in the exam. He asked Deku to run until he reached the finish line while he was distracting All Might, Katsukiās job was to make sure Izuku was safe no matter the consequences for him.
And itās exactly what happened in the forest when Dabi grabbed his neck and he saw Deku running towards him to stop the LOV to capture him. He told Izuku to not come and he said it with a worried tone. If that doesnāt mean he doesnāt care about Izuku then I wonder what it was then.
The same thing seems to happen in Heroes Rising and how many do we bet he will be more angrier than usual when one) Izuku wants to give him One For All two) his friend will fall unconscious or will die if he doesnāt hurry up to beat Nine and bring Izuku to doctors. Which explained hos shocked face in the trailer after we see Midoriya finger with blood on it, probably with the purpose to pass on One For All because Midoriya too will think itās over for him, he wouldnāt be anymore to save people with a smile just like his idol.
You wonāt ever see me running away cause this smile, it means more than everything. All I ask stay right next to me and donāt disappear.
Iām pretty sure Katsuki wants to protect Midoriya because of this:
In reality, he doesnāt want to admit it but Bakugou is a tsundere, only logical explicationā¦
He knows Izuku smile a lot and more when he saw All Might on TV when they were children, maybe this image stay in the mind of the explosive blond and make stronger his determination to protect Izuku. He thought maybe if he became a hero and kept safe All Might, it will reassure Izuku.
Iām not strong for the power or the fame or the glory, those donāt mean a thing. I just wanted to be stronger so I could hold you closer next to me. Even if I end up losing everything I wonāt ever forget I had you.
Both Izuku and Bakugou are strong but not for the same goal however their goals completes each other: Izuku wants to be strong and be a hero to save people with a smile on hos face while Bakugou wants to be strong, be a hero to beat villains because he wants to protect Deku while the green haired boy do his part of the job. Which came back to the two famous line of the trailer: Win To Save and Save To Win. But they wants to be stronger because the presence of the other reassured them and make them act not the same as usual. However even if something bad happen to one of them, the other will still remember his friend because they have so much impact on the life that they canāt forget, it will be almost a crime.
Even in the darknest night, I feel your heart it lights my way !
Personnally I think it correspond to Bakugou. If Bakugou really have One For All for a moment in the movie, I think he will feel Dekuās soul accompany him and guide him during the fight, they will be together to defeat an enemy with the power of All For One and it will make him confiant because maybe he will believe Deku is still alive but not for long.
