Boku no Hero Academia Chapter 405 Discussion

Honestly I’m not sure how but every week feels better than the last. Also can’t help but love that Horikoshi loves stepping on all the little cry baby fucks who keep whining

"Why isn’t All Might dead"

"Bakugou doesn’t even have his own villain"

Good thing y’all aren’t writing a damn thing.

Kacchan’s smile was so beautiful and his words of supporting Deku making his atonement come back in full force. I love him so much. He deserves everything.

BEING A POSTIVE HEROACA FAN IS THE BEST. 😎

PS. Mahoro and Katsuma yelling BAKUGOU topped my serotonin for the week.

All Might smiles and jokingly says that the mentor's role should be to die and let their disciples take care of the rest, but Nighteye calls him Toshinori Yagi and says that's just a comic book archetype. Heroes are people too, and they don't die that easily.
^^^^
This is why MHA is best and hits different where characters aren't killed just for the development of plot or MC. Story can move forward and reach its conclusion with majority of the cast smiling at the end.
Message of MHA has been clear from the start and it just keep on enriching it which Horikoshi amazingly depicted- heroes are people too, they don't die that easly.
Really this message put a huge smile on face.

@Aphalaw1 Nah. His favorite heroes wanted him alive, that's all that matters.

All stories have tropes. Why does it matter?

Not only that but stories do not have to be absolute subversive or death to equate to quality. That’s honestly such a childish thing to say.

@Aphalaw1 Yes. There was set up and pay off in Katsuki return, he was able to save his hero - a guilt which he a 16 year old boy held onto for too long, was able to fulfill his actual desire of helping Deku carry the OFA curse by taking out AFO, and become the symbol of victory aka what was his end goal the entire series. His return was also set up from almost the get go, anyone who actually thought he was going to stay down clowned themselves because they don’t like him as a character. What exactly would him staying dead accomplish? Spinning Deku’s wheels, it already did that and Deku still couldn’t handle it on his own aka the whole point of his vigilante saga. Same thing with All Might? Dead? Why? What’s it accomplishing other than dead mentor trope which was called out entirely yet so many people were begging for All Might to die because “mY heRO acADemIA hAs nO sTAKEs”

Oh no the Shounen action series has tropes and isn’t dark gritty and not full of killing off characters because “STAKES” as if all character deaths have stakes now 🤡 the stakes are already present in the details of the world and the society. I know none of you give two fucks about any of that but that is where those are. Not sure why you all just want Deku to have all his closest people around him killed, wildly sad but that’s not this series, it never was and never alluded to any of that.

The childish part of you and people who keep saying Katsuki should’ve died have no reason as to why he should except that it would make the series “better” for some artificial reason y’all keep inflating. When the reality is that what makes HeroAca good is that it believe in a better future for the characters in it and wants to make a difference with them, there is no future in death and is the easy ending.

Also I hate to tell you and everyone else in the room but literally ALL Shounen series have death come backs and trope shit that people spew out they hate but if it’s tacked onto a classic then I guess people have amnesia. And yes some are awfully executed (Pain Arc in Naruto is a biggie) but just because it’s been “done” doesn’t make it bad. It was explained, it had follow through, it had a return on investment, and it’s been some of the best fucking chapters in the series. I’m sorry you can’t be excited over anything other then dead bodies but whatever BRO.

@Aphalaw1 I wasn’t shitting on your perspective, that would imply you had a perspective that isn’t copy pasted off Reddit. Maybe if you actually had some thought and proved you actually absorb any actual details in this series it’d be taken any iota of serious even if it differentiated from mine. The only thing you brought to the conversation is that “death = stakes” which isn’t true, any character death wouldn’t bounce the series back if you’re already bored of it. Just go read JJK. I heard the writing is great because Gege doesn’t like any of the cast.

@Aphalaw1 You probably read my comment like you read the last 405 chapters basically not at all. But that’s cool. I’ll enjoy myself, you can sit and be indifferent to a series you’ve consumed this much of. Weird flex.
