Not a day goes by that I have not thought about how depressed, desperate, and borderline deranged Genya must've been as a teenager to discover all on his own that he has abilities that awaken only through cannibalism. WHAT compelled him to consume demon flesh when he had no prior knowledge of his ability? What led up to that moment? And like, Gotoge really said hmm I'll give these kids cool elemental powers! Let's see... water... lightning... fire... oh, except Genya, you'll get ✧･ﾟ:* VORE*:･ﾟ✧*. You lack the swordsmanship talent to take down a demon, but if you get close enough and eat their bodily flesh, you will temporarily turn into their kind! Because that certainly doesn't sound traumatizing and torturous.

I read somewhere that Horikoshi didn't have good memories with Barrage... Maybe because he drawed it right after Zoo and still got canceled too despite his effort. At the same time, I can't help but seeing many of MHA's theme is similar to Barrage's 👀. That twist with Black definitely can be done a lot better...

I can feel it, Hori is going to use his unused ideas on MHA but more refined because now he has time to think it through. To me, it feels like Deku's story took inspiration from Barrage while Shigaraki's story took inspiration from Oumagadoki zoo. So, Deku having familial connection to AFO seems not so far-fetched

Reading Barrage (horikoshi's previous work)... I do have a hunch that Astro(the protagonist) is like the blue print for All for One but in the more extreme side when it comes to family and also with a pinch of Black (the antagonist and step father of the protagonist) in terms of personality.

Funnily enough, he hid Astro so that he won't be dragged to the war and made a clone(dark energy) to replace Astro as the prince.

*squinting intensified*

Now where did I saw that before...

Every izuocha scene in bnha and other izuocha stuff

Despite this fanbase being so small, they actually have a lot of scenes together… so lemme start from the very beginning

Uraraka stopping Izuku from falling from falling on his face as well as saving from 5-6 seconds of utter embarassment.

Look at how happy he is to talk to a girl, and a cute girl for that matter, and it just so happens that she is actually the first girl Izuku has actually ‘talked’ to. It’s not like Izuku has never spoken to a female in his life before (I mean he has his mom, and I’m sure he’s talked to other girls in his past classes but you get the point), but this was like the first time according to Izuku that he had a real conversation with a girl.

Izuku is a hella nervous for the entrance exam and he sees Uraraka as a source of comfort, well at least someone to talk to for him calm him down a little before Iida stopped him. This isn’t like an actual romantic moment or whatever so don’t hate me for this please, but at least it’s something right?

Izuku saving Uraraka from the robot, this scene is what triggered their friendship. He could have chosen to run away like everyone else did, he had zero points but he still chose to sacrifice his chances of getting into U.A just to save her.

Uraraka going out of her way to beg them to let Izuku at least have some of her points, no normal person would do that… no one would go out of their way to make sure a complete stranger passed, I mean it’s an exam so it’s every man for themselves. And look at how touched Izuku is here… with the kind of shitty people around him (bakugou, his middle school classmates, his middle school teacher, that doctor) he never would’ve imagined anyone going out of their way to do something like this for him. They actually both made an impact on each other after the entrance exam. And I know for a fact that people are gonna argue with this and say that she was just being nice and shit

You’re telling me that you’re just gonna ignore this?!!! He indirectly said this girl was attractive.

Here he is acting like a normal socially awkward teenager who’s too shy to talk to a cute girl, and we’re just gonna ignore this??? I mean he can’t even look her in the eye, doesn’t that mean something?

Uraraka cheering for Izuku in the backgorund…

Uraraka being worried about Izuku’s swollen finger…

Izuku finds Uraraka to be very attractive again, twice.

Izuku blushing like crazy because he’s on the same team with a cute girl who just happens to be his first real friend, who’s a cute girl.

And this is probably the most important moment. Izuku easily accepted the new meaning that Uraraka gave to the the demeaning name Deku. We all know that it’s impossible to change the meaning of the word, especially a word that a lot of people already know the meaning of. I’m sure Izuku knew that. He probably would have accepted the name of it was someone else who changed the meaning but I don’t think he would’ve accepted it as quickly as he did for Uraraka, because it really touched him when she said that.

At first you’d think Izuku just felt super flattered for what Uraraka did to his name, but he took it to heart. Look at him confidently declaring the ‘new meaning of his name’, this surprised Uraraka too because… well she didn’t think he’d take it seriously.

Bakugou has zero chill XD

Izuku treasures the new meaning of his name so much that he even decides to make it his hero name, aka the hero name he’ll be using for the rest of his life, the name that he’ll forever be known as, and the name that sounds so demeaning… good luck with that my son…

Uraraka voting for Izuku knowing fully well that she could have voted for herself, but she voted for Izuku because of her admiration for him.

Uraraka being the only person to notice Izuku wasn’t in his costume. Izuku blushing, or getting excited… or blushing I can’t really explain what was going on here between these two but they were definitely having a moment.

Uraraka teaming up with Izuku when he was all alone which brought Izuku to tears. She teamed up with him because she’s most comfortable with him, they’re both really good friends, and because she admires him so much. Izuku is surprised too, because if she teamed up with anyone else it would give her a better chance for her to win. So once again, Izuku’s touched by Uraraka’s affection towards him.

Uraraka getting jealous of Hatsume because she’s getting all of Izuku’s attention. It’s not like Uraraka wanted to be the center of izuku’s llife 24/7 or anything but how can I say it… it’s kinda annoying to be really good friends with a boy and then some other girl just swoops in from nowhere and grabs his attention, I mean I know I’d feel a little ‘ish’ if that happened to me, because Uraraka was basically like the third wheel throughout the cavalry battle, and no one likes being a third wheel.

Uraraka admiring Izuku’s strategic mind once again, although she mainly said this because she was feeling uneasy.

Izuku knew Uraraka felt uneasy about going against Bakugou, so he went out of his way to make a plan for her to win. It’s funny because this is exactly how Izuku felt before his first fight with Bakugou, and Uraraka was the one comforting him and trying to help him feel better, and now the roles have been reversed. 

Although I’m glad Uraraka rejected his help, because it helped her realize that she couldn’t always rely on others for her success.

Izuku was rooting for her throughout the whole  Kacchako battle (and jeez, have I ever said how much I love Bakugou and Uraraka in this fight) and he was concerned for her safety. Izuku was Uraraka’s motivational drive here, her motivation to win.

Izuku was rooting for her before the match even started, sure he felt nervous but at least he didn’t immediately think he she was gonna lose like EVERYONE else did.

Izuku feeling bad for not being able to do anything for her…

He’s the only one that goes out of his way to check up on her, not even Iida, or Tsuyu.

Izuku saw right through Uraraka and she obviously knew she was lying about being totally fine. He felt guilty that he wasn’t able to do anything to help her win… even though there was really nothing he could do.

Uraraka’s helped Izuku out so many times, so the only thing he wants to do for her, what he needs to do for her is return the favor.

This was part was pretty sweet on both ends.. although I’m still not sure if Bakugou was pissed off at Izuku because he thought he let Uraraka use her quirk carelessly and throw him off guard (gonna wait for the anime to clear that up, afterall this episode is gonna air in about 2 weeks or so…) 

Anyway, Izuku is defending Uraraka here by saying she’s completely capable of devising strategic plans on her own.

Izuku getting super flustered after having a real conversation on a phone with a girl… who just happened to be Uraraka. Uraraka getting teased about being in love…. she could have called Iida too, but she decided to call Izuku instead.

Uraraka using Izuku as a source of motivation, again.

I think we’re all familiar with this scene. This is the moment Uraraka realized that she may in fact have a crush on Izuku.

And this is the moment when she sorta confirmed it, and she even said “probably”

This. This is just adorable.

My buddy @happycloude-91 pointed out in this post. This was probably one of the sweetest things Uraraka’s ever done. She did a little first-aid thing for Izuku to at least try and reduce the pain even though she knew it wouldn’t do much. She didn’t try and stop him and say “there’s no way I’ll let you go! Not with those injuries and blah blah blah”, because she understood the weight of the situtation and she understood Izuku’s feelings, plus Izuku probably wouldn’t have listened to her anyway.

Hell she even tore her shirt in half to help Izuku and seemed like it worked pretty well. We all know that Uraraka doesn’t have a lot of money, and she probably doesn’t have the best clothes either, yet she still sacrificed to help Izuku.

 Hatsume is a trigger to Uraraka’s jealousy, since it mostly pops up when she’s around. Her face here, she obviously doesn’t like what she’s seeing, because not only was Izuku almost explodo-killed, he came chest-to-chest with another girl!

Uraraka getting a little more jealous here because Hatsume’s getting Izuku’s attention, but she mostly feels like she’s getting left behind and she wants to walk side by side with Izuku.

Uraraka’s feelings for Izuku confirmed. The fact that she was thinking about the whole thing with Hatsume all day shows something.

Uraraka noticing and admiring Izuku’s strength again.These pages just say it all…

In the hero license exam, even though ‘Uraraka’ came out of nowhere with absolutely no plan at all, which could have led to her failing right there…

Izuku still jumped in to save her, jeopardizing his own chances of passing the exam.

adding this because the way he carried her was just…PERFECT.

This is probably one of my favorite scenes in this arc. Izuku knew Uraraka wasn’t that careless, he knew that she was much more stronger than that.

This line has a lot of depth in it guys. Izuku knew Uraraka was a lot smarter than to come out without any sort of plan.

Uraraka believing in Izuku’s strength.Uraraka sees Izuku as an image of victory, that’s why she always thinks about him when she’s in a pinch or is she wants to win (let that be a reminder for those who think she’s ‘obsessed’).

Izuku is to Uraraka what Kacchan is to him, an image of victory. (but we don’t go ahead and call Izuku obsessed whenever he thinks about Kacchan, which he does A LOT, do we???) It’s not that she’s obsessed with being like him but she has the same feelings that Izuku has for Kacchan.

Uraraka getting jealous again and contemplating her feelings.

Uraraka’s feelings getting in the way of her focus.

Chapter 109 says it all, at least in Uraraka’s side, she knows that she has feelings for Izuku. I’m not gonna say the word love because this is a fan translation so it’s not 100% accurate, also the word love is pretty strong in Japan, so I think Horikoshi must have used a… how can I say it? a less serious word in the second panel… I could be completely wrong though.

We know that she ‘shut down her feelings’ but that doesn’t mean they’re completely gone right?

Uraraka notices things about Izuku, and you can read all about that in my other buddy @rex101111‘s post here. 

Also, have I mentioned that they are ALWAYS together??!

And there are a lot more screencaps of them standing together and that includes the panels I used for this post too, but we know that I can’t fit all those screencaps in this post XD

The omake. I can already feel all of the kacchako shippers glaring daggers at me XD.

But anyway, many misinterpret this as a Kacchako scene… but it’s actually not. The reason is because, Uraraka came to talk to Bakugou about Izuku, not her, or heir fight, but Izuku. I know people are gonna be like “she sees through Bakugou!” or “Bakugou called her by her name!”, but let’s be honest, what Uraraka was saying here was: you either make up with Izuku or just stop being mean to him. Overall her primary concern was Izuku, because nobody likes to see their friend/love interest constantly get bullied right?

Another thing is the drama CD 7. The drama CD 7, the drama CD 7, the drama CD!!! I freaking love the drama CD 7, because it is a safe haven for us izuocha  shippers.

Izuku and Uraraka eating lunch together, Uraraka teasing Izuku for nerding about heroes… well she didn’t exactly tease him, she giggled and he blushed!

Izuku and Uraraka chatting near Izuku’s desk before Bakugou came and interrupted them XD

Izuku saved Uraraka from the sludge villain and he happened to hold hands with her for a very long time, and Bakugou himself had to point it out!

Izuku stuttering and blushing after he realized just how long he held Uraraka’s hand and how good it felt. Then he starts to remember how he had to do a folk dance with a guy when he was in middle school because there weren’t enough girls… and I love how my son is such a loveable nerd/dork omg XD

Uraraka mistook Izuku’s flustered face as some kind of adrenaline rush which was adorable.

There were other good scenes in the drama cd, but these are like the cutest ones, and mind you the drama CD was written by HORIKOSHI KOUHEI!

So it’s technically canon :p

I know I said that the wiki is about 98% accurate, but if people can believe Jirou is a lesbian from reading the wiki then I can believe this right? I know the love is one sided for now, but Izuku has shown a lot of signs in the beginning of the series, he obviously won’t show any now because of where the series is going… but it’s gonna come back…soon.

and one more thing…

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS TAG EXIST???? THIS IS THE ONLY SHIP IN BNHA THAT I’VE SEEN WITH THIS TAG!

There are only like two posts under this tag and one of them just happens to be someone answering my ask, and if you’re wondering why I like that post if you ever see it, it’s because I like all posts that answer my asks just to let the person know that I’ve seen their answer.

But still it hurts to see this tag ya know?

Anyway @cake-ademia, @zakamore1, @rex101111, @hatefilledpoptarts, @eriboook and my other fellow izuocha shippers even though our fanbase is small, lets not forget the ship that’s CLOSEST to becoming CANON.

[greenteabubble]

this probably already being discussed so many times 

But I still wondering if Izuku is really born quirkless or not.

IMO, it will be great if Izuku stays originally quirkless throughout the story because it will drives home that he really is a great hero that started from zero thus become more inspirational

But I still have this theory that Izuku might have a quirk, but that quirk is something that will activate later in life or perhaps in his passing, kinda like the original One for All holder.

If I remember it right, it was assumed that the brother of AFO is quirkless but turns out that he does have a quirk, that is the quirk that’s able to transfer his given quirk (the stockpiling quirk) to other people. Without the quirk that’s given by AFO, his original quirk will be utterly useless.

 What if Izuku has something like that? He actually has a quirk but it’s not something flashy, but something that will appear only when he is in certain condition? Which is why he was diagnosed as quirkless because there’s no way to confirm it early in life?

[greenteabubble]

If it’s really true that Daruma Ujiko is the same doctor as the one that diagnosed Izuku, I wonder why he didn’t capture more children around his neighborhood. Izuku might have dodged the bullet because he is quirkless, but surely the doctor have heard other children’s quirk especially Bakugou considering he is his grandson’s friend. With a quirk like Bakugou as its base, he would have create a very powerful noumu.

I wonder too if Izuku and Bakugou will find out about the truth of that winged noumu in the future

[greenteabubble]

About Karasuno vs Kamomedai...

At first I thought that Karasuno will probably lose the match eventhough if they have to lose I prefer they lose against Fukurodani. I think that Karasuno becoming a champion this year is very unlikely.

But after I re-read the manga, I think Karasuno could win against Kamomedai but it would be a very intense match just like Inarizaki match because :

1. Before they went to the tourney, they have a practice match against Date tech who had leveled up their block (I believe it was bunch shift block too) even Karasuno has a tough time to counter it. So facing Kamomedai is not something new entirely

2. During the practice match Karasuno was not on their top game. Kageyama overthinking about goody-two-shoes comment also Tanaka and Asahi testing out their new attack which keep failing until the last moment. All of the problems were resolved so they are more than ready in this match

3. If I remember it right, they were able to win a set in the practice match when they do the “blend and distract” thing which kinda rely on Hinata minus tempo so I think it will be a huge thing in this match especially when it’s all about showdown of two little giants

4. Hinata already managed to do the “baam” jump and he was able to see the blocker’s hand more clearly now. That is definitely important. I remember Hoshiumi noticed that too during Inarizaki match.

5. Even if Hoshiumi was able to see it too, I think Tsukki can still counter it. In the ball boy arc Tsukki asked to practice against Hinata’s spike because Tsukki couldn’t deny that Hinata is a type of spiker that can do that. As far as I remember no one made any comment about spiker that can see blocker’s hand during the tournament, so if Karasuno has to face one now Tsukki already practiced and prepared for it. In chapter 342, Tsukki managed to stuffed Hoshiumi and get the timing down early in the game. He mentioned to not to be overly cautious of him so maybe Tsukki’s already assuming that Hoshiumi cannot see blocker’s hand like Hinata.

6. Yamaguchi and Tsukishima’s “serve & block” will be more prominent and polished. Yamaguchi mentioned before the game that he’s confident that their “serve & block” will not lose. Also there’s probably going to be more Tsukki and hinata’s block and receive combo. Even so I still want more Yamaguchi development dammit.

7. Kinda a stretch but maybe Kageyama will play a big role to make Hinata stronger. Kageyama is the one that show Hinata the solution for his predicament during Nekoma match (the “baam” jump) so maybe there will be moments in this game where they kinda make up an attack on the fly (kinda like Aoba Josei second match where Hinata accidentally jumped too close to the net and Kageyama just went along with it). In the Inarizaki match, which is supposed to be setter vs setter, eventhough Kageyama proved his worth as a prodigy setter, Atsumu still recognized Hinata as a terrifying partner to have. Maybe something like that could happen in this game but in reverse. Also, whenever little giant was mentioned before Kamomedai match, Kageyama seems to be there too together with Hinata (I’m also curious what Kageyama mean when he said “finally” to Hinata when he’s not really disappointed with the og little giant)

8. I assume that Kamomedai’s stongest point is in their block and so far we only know Hoshiumi as their notable spiker. Inarizaki has Osamu, Ojiro Aran and Suna. But then again it’s still really early in the game.

Even if Karasuno wins, it will probably like Wakutani where the team wins but Hinata accepted that he himself has a long way to go. Then again the match already phenomenal itself because the two teams have a little giant of their own. I also keep mentioning Inarizaki instead of Nekoma because I feel like Nekoma match is tough only because they faced each other multiple times. They already know Karasuno inside-out thus able to prepare the counter measure and utilize their weaknesses more efficiently. Nekoma is not a weak team, but compared to other teams in the tournament, Nekoma doesn’t have a notable national level player. (Also I liked Inarizaki match more)

Eventhough I said that Karasuno winning the whole tournament is very unlikely, I still wish they somehow could win it because it’s the third years last game. Next year would be tough because the second years have to really step up their game and they need find another setter so they can still utilize their many variations of synchro attack (I really think Yamaguchi could learn how to be a setter). Also find another Libero too as Nishinoya’s successor.

[greenteabubble]

I think Hinata will learn how to serve next since people expecting him to do an awesome serve yet it turns out to be normal.

Personally I prefer he learns how to set so they can do an attack where he re-sets the ball just like the miya twins did. Also Kageyama will be so salty if Hinata manage to do it and it will be glorius

Now then I think about it, if Hinata manage to do jump serve they probably compete each other who can do no-touch-ace in every game.

[greenteabubble]

Sometimes, like right now, I wish that I could turn back around time and change so many things in my past. I thought this is something that I always wanted but turned out I barely found any enjoyment in it.. It really sucks because I'm already too deep inside and there's no way I could just change it.. I wish I wasn't the type that wanted to make other people happy.. The expectations just hurt me, shackled me so that I couldn't become anything unless that.. I wish I wasn't such an ambitious kid back then, so eager to take on any challenge.. I wish someone could tell me to just stop for a while and pursue other things.. The more I grew up the more I realize there's so many things wrong with me.. I wish that back then.... my family could support me and tell me that there's more in life than just keep studying.. I wish I was strong back then and don't care about what other's say.. But turn out I could always see the subtle disappointment. I can't stand that... I have to fix that..And so here I am... wishing so many things could change. Right now I just wanted things to pass.. done everything.. get a job, make some money and just live out my life and make myself happy.. I don't even know what I wanted in the future.. I just wanted a cozy home, stable life, and lots lots lots of free time to make up for all the loss time in my past

You will fail. Especially in the beginning. You will fail. And that’s not just OK, it’s essential. Without resilience, the first failure is also the last—because it’s final. Those who are excellent at their work have learned to comfortably coexist with failure. The excellent fail more often than the mediocre. They begin more. They attempt more. They attack more. Mastery lives quietly atop a mountain of mistakes. The exceptional artist throws away hundreds of photographs. The exceptional writer wears out the eraser. The exceptional investor puts money into losing ventures. If every risk you take pays off, then you probably aren’t actually taking risks. We don’t want to excuse recklessness and foolishness as “just taking risks,” but we should understand that those who have built true excellence in their lives are always fighting at the edges of their ability. What distinguishes the exceptional from the unexceptional? A willingness to fail, and an exceptional ability to learn from every failure.
