gosh bnha's epilogue is so weird dawgggg why spend so much time establishing parallels between villains and heroes, referencing the idea of reaching out to the child in them over and over again, and showing that heroes and villains aren't so different, just one group was dicked over by the system, just to deny them... any chance at redemption? i can't believe that the three characters (shigaraki, dabi, and toga) who were most primed for turning a new leaf are just. killed off? ok i know dabi is technically still alive but u get what i mean. like, you have bakugou get saved by edgeshot's open heart surgery but toga dies of blood loss? kids are able to be on the chopping block as long as they're *evil* kids? toga would have been so easy to keep alive. we never saw a confirmation on the battlefield so just have her appear in a secret hospital and uraraka visits her and they cry and hug etc. i wouldn't even consider myself a villain stan but it's such a strange way to bungle the one theme that's been there since the beginning, and a real narrative disappointment. at this point i have to wonder if the series was deliberately cut short because even if you're the most talented person alive, five chapters is SO not enough to wrap up a ten year serialization.

it's the villain deaths that perplex me so much. it wouldn't even be that bad if we had more kills for the other side. we lost midnight, who was the only hero we actually knew for a long while before her death. i am SHOCKED that hawks made it through, like, that mf should have died ages ago. similarly, i feel like if you were gonna kill dabi off, that should've spelled endeavor's death. either they both live or they dance in hell together, you know? tit for tat. also, all might is still alive? do i want all might to die? of course not but like. what was the point of that whole plot beat in the overhaul arc if he wasn't going to die in mortal combat in the final battle? im just rambling at this point. i do really like the trope of finding peace in death/dying free rather than living caged, but only when it's, yknow .... done well? why make midoriya's single driving point in the final battle saving shimura tenko if he just Dies and midoriya barely seems shaken up over it??? i am so confused about every narrative point. i can't believe there's only one chapter left. im also not looking forward to when the series wraps and people complaining about it are met with the inevitable "well, the series was always bad, you're just realizing it now!" there is so much to love in bnha, and a lot of great moments and there was just... a failure to pull it all together satisfactorily.

also i miss kirishima. do you guys miss kirishima. do you guys remember when kirishima and his relationship with bakugou was integral to the plot and their character development. you're telling me bakugou essentially dies twice and we never see his BEST FRIEND'S FEELINGS ABOUT IT. do you guys remember when these characters had relationships. where is iida

earth shattering characterization

i am NOT caught up with bnha but i refuse to believe that hori-san will actually kill bakugou. he needs to come out first before getting sent to super hell

[rockboywonder]

horikoshi-san right now:

[rockboywonder]

not enough people talking about how the reason the villains didn't know about the bakugou rescue mission was because hagakure was unconscious from the gas

if the ua traitor plot actually gets resolved beyond the tsukauchi/all might conversation about the students i will boil a sock and eat it
