Sleeping beauty - Ch 391 & 402

(They are a tiny bit different)

[aashi-heartfilia]

BnHA 392: Ochako gets stabbed. No she's not dying.

Yeah so what if she got stabbed? With stabby pants Toga around this was bound to happen.

Doesn't mean that she is gonna die!

And even if it looks serious, I don't think it will have a serious consequence or anything. She might as well get a cool scar like All Might at most.

And I don't even wanna talk about that grab scene on the next page. I think it's a mistake that will be corrected during the volume publish, remember how inking on Ochako and Toga wasn't on point either in the last chapter.

With Hori's declining health, I think it's a very likely case.

Anyways, we'll have to wait now for two weeks to see if our babygirl is all right or not.

Contrary to popular belief, I think she's fine. Great infact, because now she'll fight more seriously.

Remember how in her battle vs Bakugo during SF, when even her friends underestimated her and thought she needed help?

But she proved to everyone that she's more than capable of handling herself when the time calls for it?

And this is a battle she cannot afford to lose, we have lives on the line. Not just her fellow heroes but Toga herself is also in danger and Uravity is a hero who wants to see everyone smile.

I think this is bound to come sooner or later. Like what kind of hero Uravity will be?

Like Ingenium is a hero who guides lost children to their home, Uravity will find a way to save Toga and the entire battlefield that is dealing with Sad Man's Death Parade.

Now, it's more important than ever because we've seen that Pixie Bob is down for the count. She was the main person containing the clones but now that she is down and Toga has created multiple doppelgangers of our beloved heroes, everyone is at a risk of getting stabbed.

Since the last two chapters were about Toga, I think the next chapter will be about Ochako.

Personally I would love an Ochako Uraraka: Origins chapter and then a Rising Chapter following it!

This will be one of the biggest moments of the series where a character gets an Origin and a rising chapter simultaneously.

A chapter that shows us Ochako's life before she joined UA.

Just like Toga, we only had a glimpse of Ochako's past. Bonus material suggests that she used to sleep to save money and bear the heat in summers because her parents could not afford an AC. But that's not all.

Horikoshi has been hinting at this dynamic for a long time. So I feel like there has been something about Ochako that has been hidden from us, as readers.

It was always hidden in plain sight, just like how those postcards were a foreshadowing for Ochako getting stabbed in the stomach.

The author said that there is a scene between TOGACHAKO that he is itching to draw.

Personally I don't know what scene it is. It could be Toga stabbing Ochako in the recent chapter, or it could be something entirely different. We won't know for sure until this arc concludes.

As for this arc, I think this fated battle will last for at least 3-4 more chapters.

Everything is in complete chaos and it will take time to wrap this up. Even if a miracle were to happen, I don't see a direct solution to TOGA's Sad Man Parade unlike Dabi where Shouto just reaching on time was everything.

Not only Ochako will need to convince Toga to stop her Parade but also deal with the existing ones that are running rampant around the battlefield.

Also, can I just say how much I loved Ochako just casually flying over the entire parade?

Also her jet boosters are finally coming in handy!

Also I just loved how much control she has over gravity now. She literally pulled both Toga and Tsu out like it was nothing! Plus the Twice clones surrounding her!!

Toga using the blood from the battlefield totally caught me off-guard. She really is playing 5D chess now.

Guess, it goes to show you how smart she actually was up until now.

Ochako and Toga are two faces of a coin. Of course, they're both smart.

Plus I think Toga is still not using her full power, as the Curious vestige suggested. She's still hiding her true self.

And maybe that's the answer to everything. Ochako will try to appeal to whatever goodness is left of her.

Ochako knows that Quirks are nature and just like Toga, she's been hiding her true feelings all along. And I think the feeling that she's been hiding is envy.

She was jealous of how 'normal' everyone else is and how they get to express their love and she doesn't. It is not a form that society will accept.

But in the world of MHA, how do you even decide what is normal and what isn't?

Her parents literally denied her humanity.

I also loved what Tsuyu said here about Heroes following the rules. If killing was the only way, Ochako and the heroes were more than capable of doing that.

But it's not about killing or arresting her anymore but rather about confronting a little girl who has been rejected her entire life, even by her own parents.

It's about a young girl with a big dream who wants to see everyone smile and yes that includes Toga too.

It was never a story about killing people because violence leads to even more violence, it's about understanding and sympathy, care and compassion and this is how true heroes are born.

Cheers! Sunshine!

MHA SPOILERS

Well damn, there goes my heart

[hawkssucks]

Nothing sexier than being disheveled and covered in blood on the brink of collapse

[fever-dreamer97]

So Unpopular Take…I don’t like Toga.

Okay, I feel bad that she had a rough childhood and she is a good villain character.

But it was not normal to drink blood as a child, I don’t know why I’m supposed to feel bad for her on that. I feel bad that she was misunderstood when she was trying to show love.

Also she kinda gets on my nerves on acting like she’s some victim all the time.

For example, when she was mad at Ochako for not listening her questions during the war. Girl, you just killed an innocent old woman for blood, like you did multiple times with people throughout the show.

I’m sorry but I just don’t like her. I feel bad for the child Toga but not this grown ass Toga who is killing people left and right.

EDIT: I think I accidentally misused the word Hot Take as in Unpopular Take so I fixed it. My bad, I’m in Gen Z but I’m a complete grandma when it comes to slang lol

[itsnothingofinterest]

Well, that was a short chapter (I can almost hear Hori telling himself he’s almost done & to power through these last few chapters); which is kind of a shame because I’m a bit worried Toga’s conclusion isn’t going to get as many chapters as Dabi’s did. It did have some cool scenes too it though.

I liked Toga seeing Dabi’s flames go down and worrying that the heroes may have killed him too. Once again, it is crazy to me that people think Toga’s suicidal when her problem is rooted in almost the opposite; she is desperate to live, but believes (not unreasonably) that the world of heroes is lethally hostile to her and everyone she loves. Seeing Dabi go down, she can only conclude that he’s dead just like Twice. And that’s the problem Uraraka will (hopefully) have to tackle to save her.

Speaking of, I also liked Uraraka rejecting Tsuyu’s theory of Toga not loving the League; it’s a genuine good character moment for her to have sympathized with Toga enough to get inside her head like that. (Even if her idea of Toga’s murderous intent distorting her love sounds a touch BS as to why she can’t become like Shigaraki of all people, but maybe it’ll be explained more next chapter; Toga did seem to cut the explanation off.)

Overall; a short chapter that’s kind of relying on 392 to fill in some gaps, but it has enough going for it in exploring Toga that I think I still like it.

this is the most pathetic shit i've ever seen in my fucking LIFE

Okay okay okay

So Hawks clearly isn’t giving up, right? He’s just not. That’s not who he is, so of course he’s going to keep fighting. With the panel of Hawks holding the sword, with the sounds of the Twice rampage in the background, it really seems like he’s not going to go down that easy

Hawks saw “Twice” come out of the portal and his reaction was this

Total panic, right? He killed Twice for a reason - to prevent mass destruction from happening because, knowing Twice’s quirk and what side he was on (what side he was sticking to), he knew how chaotic the war could get. So seeing Twice come back? You can see the panic inside of him. This is not what he wants. We know he’s willing to kill “Twice” again

Fast forward to this chapter

All other threats are gone. AFO is gone. There are no Villains or Noumu in front of him. Dabi has been taken care of. Yet Hawks still stands because there’s one more Villain that hasn’t been taken care of, and that’s “Twice”/Toga

While we could say he’s only standing here to protect Tokoyami from the oncoming Twice’s that will surely attack them once they spread further, there’s no way he’s not going to be involved with the Twice clones anyway. And I don’t think Hawks would just stand there and wait for someone to take down Toga - he’d probably try to do it himself

So I think there’s a possibility that Hawks could go after Toga and try to kill her before the clones can spread further. I also think there’s evidence to Hawks joining the fight and attempting to repeat history

Hawks has already been through killing Twice. There’s a chance he’s willing to do it again based on the fact that he’s done it before. Something along the lines of “I’ve done it once, I can do it again. Only I will bear the burden of it”. It’s not farfetched at all for Hawks to do so because he wants to spare anyone else from having to kill. “I am willing to be corrupted” and all that

(He’s probably ready to face Twice, to deal with the image of taking him down again, but could he do the same with Toga? With the reality that he wouldn’t just be taking down the image of Twice, but a young girl too?)

Also, the narration says that the Heroes cannot falter

Who’s someone who won’t falter, no matter what the task? Who is willing to corrupt himself, willing to cover himself in blood for a brighter future? Hawks. I feel that the text is practically calling his name for him to enter. Also, the Todoroki’s are out for the count, Iida looks like he’s done too. The only Hero shown here willing to stand up and not falter is Hawks

There’s evidence for this Toga-Ochako fight paralleling with the Twice-Hawks fight

Firstly, Toga is on Twice’s side. She is quite literally Twice in this parallel. Someone who looks like him right now, someone who activated Sad Man’s Parade, someone who has shown care for members of the League in these moments

Someone who, as chocolate-biscuit has pointed out here, has the same hole in her mask just like Twice did

And what does this fight also have in common with the Raid one? A third person is shown ready to fight

Dabi was the only one shown running towards the fight, and Hawks is the only one shown so far who is actually up and still willing to fight

The red sparrow dream

That dream has always reminded me of Hawks, because of the specificity of the animal. It’s not just a bird, it’s a red bird. Red like Hawks’ wings. We know Hawks doesn’t have his wings right now, but also notice that the wings aren’t important to the dream - the type of bird is mentioned specifically, but the bird specifically uses its feet and its beak. Also notice that birds can represent the freedom to fly away, to escape, but this bird doesn’t use its wings and do that. Instead, it chooses to stay and inflict harm

I know this may just be a small coincidental thing, but still, I think there’s a potential for it to be connected to Hawks somehow

Finally, Horikoshi has said Ochako and Hawks are both “beacons of hope” in the final war arc. Hawks, who didn’t give up fighting against AFO and protected Tokoyami from getting his quirk stolen, and still refuses to lay down. Ochako, who won’t give up on Toga. She wants to save people from the Villains and the war but she can’t ignore a Villain’s cries either

How interesting would it be if we had both “beacons of hope” clash in their fights to protect and save people?

Of course, this is only a possibility, though I think it does have the potential to happen. I would personally love to see Hori dive into Hawks’ character involving Twice again, and putting him up close and personal with someone Ochako wants to save would be so interesting to watch

But, let’s remember that I’m theorizing based on 2 panels of Hawks lol. We’ll have to see what happens next, but again, it’d be really cool to see them all come together this way and fight against ideals and saving vs killing

Is Dabi alive yet?

They are in the same pose… 😭

I know Shouto is fine, but I wonder if it's a coincidence. I'm also a bit intrigued with Shouto's chest having those black marks... It's like both of their heart have been cleaved open.

[is-bakugou-alive-yet]

any predictions before the chapter tonight?

[chocolate-biscuit]

toga's mask (well, twice's) fell apart in the same spot jin's mask ripped in 264 and they have very similar expressions... oh.

horikoshi i see you 🫵

[dynamightmite]

Nooo beautiful shapeshifter don't become so enraged you show your true face to me, your enemy, mid-fight. Don't let me be the only one you can bare your soul to. Don't let me be the only one who understands you. I'll only break your heart.

—Ururaka Ochako in the middle of the apocalypse with fantastic lesbian timing

[kiritouyadeku96]

Fuyumi thanking Izuku for being Shouto’s friends, Natsuo trying to put up with his father for Fuyumi & Shouto’s sake and Rei being happy to trade letters with Shouto & calling him “the family hero” all speaks of a level of care for Shouto! The fact that the span of them finally cooling Touya down, and the panel of them all laid out this chapter happened in the span of probably seconds if minutes isn’t a detriment for whether they care or not! Either way, the family does care about Shouto!

[transhawks]

I keep saying this is one of the most important quotes when reading BNHA. Like the clear Frankenstein influence on how Horikoshi writes feelings of ostracism and loneliness is important.
