#we don't talk enough about how izuku made those connections with kouta

[mettywiththenotes]

You know what, it’s super interesting how Kouta reminded Izuku of himself AND Tomura

Izuku could see Kouta’s pain, how he was rejecting everything around him

And that reminded him of himself, how HE rejected the reality of his situation

And how Tomura has rejected the world around him

Just. idk. Smthg smthg the similarities of rejection Tomura and Izuku have felt, how that has effected them

How Kouta easily could have become a Tomura (hatred for society growing over time, seeing no point in heroes), how Izuku could have become a Kouta or Tomura (wanting to see his own way, still rejecting everything as he grew, or still waiting for someone to tell him the words he wanted and needed to hear)

And how Tomura could still become a Kouta

Someone who, through the hatred and sadness, was saved in the end and given the chance he needed
