okay but put your hands together for the real mvp: midoriya’s mom
all might finally points it out in this chapter, but she totally did raise a natural born hero. she’s accidentally crushed izuku’s dreams in the past but she supports him 100%, she cares about him 100%, she’s always watching the tv and cheering him on, she loves boldly and fiercely. she raised him to be good, to follow his dreams, that it’s okay to be different, that he’s still strong no matter what his classmates or bakugou said.
why do you think midoriya kept on scribbling in his notebooks and applying to UA even though his whole life he’s been made out to be a quirkless joke? his mother has been there from the start, playing hero rescue games with him as a child. she’s never once stopped encouraging him, even when they found out about his quirklessness. (we’ve never seens his father in the manga but that’s another story)
so now, even though she’s terrified and doesn’t want to let her baby go, even though all might—the all might!!—literally bowed down and swore on his life to support izuku (dad might #confirmed), she refused to accept that. “please go on living,” she said. that’s not just a good parent speaking. that’s a hero.
