SO if u dont mind minor spoilers it is coming up in the anime soon! a character named ms.joke’s whole gig is that she is ALWAYS joking and she frequently asks aizawa to marry her and hits on him. it’s unclear if she actually has feelings for him or if she’s just joking but he responds VERY negatively to her mere presence which is actually rly funny. as we know aizawa is a p muted guy and for him to show such a strong reaction to her is.
he won’t even accept gum from her. i tried looking for the cap but basically she says “hey eraser want some gum” and he said
“no. not from you.”
he is also sitting 3 rows away from her in the new op
NIGHTEYE SETS OUT TO CONTINUE ONE FOR ALL’S LEGACY BUT PASSES ON HIS OWN LEGACY INSTEAD.
He see’s Mirio’s potential and takes him on as a student. The predictive combat strategy he teaches him, mirrors Nighteye’s own personal methods.
It’s clear that Mirio had trouble with his quirk even while enrolled at UA. He was able to fully become Lemillion, by applying the lessons he learned from Nighteye. This super move?
We know that Mirio’s quirk is very complex. When he phases parts of his body they become virtually non-functioning. He more than likely worked with Nighteye to develop it while accounting for all the fine details the move involves.
And of course there’s this panel:
There’s a lot that we don’t know about Nighteye and Mirio’s student-mentor interactions. But we know they were close. Mirio pleaded for Nighteye to live because there was still so much more he wanted to learn from him.
Mirio is resolved to be the “outstanding hero” that Nighteye foresees he will be. And to do it, he’s going to be using those methods and strategies Nighteye taught him.
To do it, he’s going to keep smiling.
Sir’s original intention was for Mirio to inherit One for All. But the strong hero that is and will be Lemillion exits because of the legacy of the pro hero Sir Nighteye.
I’ve been thinking about this since Nighteye was introduced: how the people are not looking for a faint light but a dazzling one; how the one on the top shouldn’t express worry or doubt; how All Might was able to instill fear in villains and hope in people.
How All Might is able to inspire calm in people without a shadow of a doubt, and have them completely rely on him with smiles on their faces. But Deku isn’t like All Might in that manner, not yet, he’s got a long way to go.
Instead of calm and absolute reliance, Deku inspires people to move, take action, and help themselves, as he deals with the problem or villain. I’m not going to go as far as claim that’s better, it’s just something to think about. Because more than calling it ‘uneasy’, it was a look of sincere concern. And that’s what gets the people around him to move.
The best example of this would be Kouta, the kid who was introduced to dislike heroes, and think saving people isn’t something to gloat about when you can’t even save yourself. But what happened with him when Deku was saving him, and protecting him against that villain? It wasn’t like what you would expect of All Might, where people rejoice and are confident they’ll be saved. Instead, he was crying, they were both panicking. They both think they were going to die, because Deku didn’t look like he could beat the guy, he didn’t think that either.
So what did he do? He moved his ass, and used the quirk he inherited from his parents to fight back. Even as the littlest of distractions, he took action. Because that’s what he saw in Deku’s face, the need for help. At the same time, Deku’s concern for him, when Deku told him to escape.
Coincidentally, this same expression is what Deku claims to see in Kacchan’s face, that gets him to move and save Kacchan when the need arises. (I don’t ship it tho)
But this doesn’t just affect people that need saving, because the very reason All Might chose Deku in the first place was because Deku inspired All Might to move. And more than the expression of needing help, it was the concern.
Bottomline, I love the contrast of All Might’s smile showing confidence and inspiring calm, while Deku shows sincere concern and inspires action.
I’m sure there are more examples of this point, I just didn’t have time to re-read the entire manga. And I may have forgotten some too, I just wanted to get this off my chest. 🙃
