i’ve always thought of how

midoriya

/all might & shinsou/aizawa mirrors the other ever since shinsou was introduced???

shinsou and midoriya ’s fight at the sports festival was putting together two people who were told all their life that being a hero was not a feasible option for them on the same platform. shinsou, with his overpowering quirk, and midoriya with his then-self destructive quirk, were by no means an equal match up, but it served to show how despite having a strong & useful quirk, shinsou was not getting closer to his dream.

in midoriya’s case, he was a quirkless boy who’s always striving to do his best to be a hero, but with everyone around him either discouraging him entirely (asking him to work in law enforcement) or making fun of him. midoriya, at the point of introduction, was a boy with no real hope being given hope by his hero. all might recognizes that midoriya has the potential to be a great hero and that

midoriya

has the willpower to achieve it, quirkless or not, and then proceeds to aid him in his journey.

the same happens in shinsou’s case, but in a sense it’s more tragic. 

while everyone told

midoriya

that he could be a police officer or someone who could help the heroes, shinsou’s quirk was always laughed off as a “villain’s quirk”. shinsou tries his best to enter the hero department and the sports festival is a huge example of that. aizawa recognises his potential the same way all might did for midoriya, and proceeds to help him out (aizawa mentoring shinsou during the forest training camp arc by giving him a training regimen and everything.)

this chapter made me happy because shinsou is finally getting the chance he deserves and i’m very happy for my purple haired son.
