I'm okay if people like 431 for the angst factor,but I can't bring myself to enjoy it because Izuku (and so many others,but mainly Izuku) is so fucking not himself in this chapter. Even with the correction translations if feels like a shell of who he used to be. 431 was actually dogshit. There were things I liked about it,but at the end of the day it is a shell of what mha is. And that's because Hori wasn't really involved in it's making,so it lacked his flare and heart he usually puts into his art.
That's why when I saw Hori's new illustration I got really happy.
That Izuku right there? That's the goofball I love. That Izuku right there? He has soul and feeling to him. That Izuku right there? That's MY Izuku,guys.
And this right here is also my Katsuki.
This is my dkbk.
And that's because Hori drew it and I can tell he wanted to.
I love these characters and I love how Hori draws and writes them with so much passion. Seeing 431 really makes me appreciate him so much more. We all could tell something was up because of the small details because Hori always cared enough to add them.
Yes,431 was absolute SHIT. It was terrible. Almost everything about it down to the panels was NOT mha.
But 431 reminded me why I love mha,the characters,and Hori as an artist and writer.
That's my official take on Hori allowing this to happen. I know he was trying to please everyone,which I think was a mistake. But I can now see truly just how much I love him and the series. Just a day ago I had given up on mha because I thought Hori lost his passion,his hope,for the characters and series. But I can see that wasn't the case. And my love for mha has been renewed ten fold.
