That flashback doesn't make any sense to me. It was right after the All For One fight, right? So that was five or six years ago. So why was Nezu there talking about Mirio who wouldn't have even been at UA yet? I interpret it as being five or six years ago because Nighteye makes his prediction and then we go to the present where All Might says it's been five years now.

He was just suggesting at that time that looking for a successor amongst student is an option. He talked about Mirio during a completely different flashback shown in an earlier episode, when All Might actually became a teacher, which would've been some time during or slightly before season 1.

To be precise about the timeline in regards to All Might, Nighteye, Deku, and Mirio, using the current time in the series as the point of reference: - 6 years ago: All Might fights and pops the top of the head off of All for One, receiving a severe injury in the process. Nighteye predicts All Might's death in six or seven years. - Around April last year: All Might is invited to teach at UA and is told about Mirio - Soon after: He meets Deku and decides to train him. We know this is in April because UA Entry Exams are in February and Deku trained for 10 months, receiving One for All on the day of the Entry Exams - September of last year: Togata Mirio receives his provisional license. - In roughly September or early October of last year: All Might informs Nighteye of his decision. Nighteye disagrees and takes Mirio under his wing to train a worthy successor. (It would have to be September or October because Mirio would need his provisional license to work for Nighteye. In addition, the Japanese school year starts in April and runs for three months before Summer break at the end of July and beginning of August. Meaning it is currently September or October, as they have already had Summer break, and Mirio says he's been working with Nighteye for about a year.)

The Nakamura cuts in MHA are so weirdly picked half the time. After the one solid gold one (Deku vs Todoroki), his first cut this season is that fight between the two giant guys right at the start of the episode.

ninjewtsu posted:i don't like this idea that the two of them should've simultaneously wordlessly gambled both of their lives against an enemy they know nothing about is like, a total no brainer or really simple or whatever. like whether or not you agree with mirio's (and eventually deku's) choice the reasons why it's a difficult and complex one are obvious I mean, putting your rear end on the line is lierally in the job description.

Objectively, sure, but the show makes the point time and again that the mark of a true hero is putting your life/safety on the line without even thinking (i.e. the thing Deku did while Quirkless to try and save Bakugo that convinced All Might to pick him as successor) - you can obviously debate whether Mirio was in the right strategically or whatever but the show is pretty open about how it idolizes heroism, especially if it's self-endangering heroism.

Nessus posted:Deku's exploded arms say "perhaps a synthesis is slowly being reached" Sure I mean, the show isn't scared of saying "hey deku maybe don't literally implode your limbs" in the same way All Might probably shouldn't have kept heroing after basically having the lower half of his torso obliterated but those are two different morals technically.

Yes, the conflict between doing the right thing and doing the smart thing and how much a hero needs to lean to either side and what the drawbacks of each are is a consistent theme. That's sort of my point, it seems dumb and lame to casually dismiss either side of it

That's sort of my point, it seems dumb and lame to casually dismiss either side of it Yeah, it's two different, but valid ways of approaching hero work. That being said, Deku's immediate reaction being "we have to save this girl" while Mirio's immediate reaction was "we have to stick to the plan" really illustrates why Deku, rather than Mirio, is the right choice to inherit One For All.

It's a bit of a case of idealism vs pragmatism, I think. Even when Deku charged in to rescue Bakugo, he didn't really have any means of actually doing so. If All Might hadn't been there he would either be dead or got someone else hurt. My Lady couldn't fit, Kamui Woods couldn't go in without burning up, and the firefight guy who I can't remember was keeping the fire from spreading and doing crowd control. With Mirio and Deku, they both obviously know something is up. I don't think Mirio is letting her go because bagging Overhaul is more important than a child; just at the time he feels there isn't enough info to act on yet. As others have said, it's not really a matter of one being right and one being wrong. It's a lovely situation all the way around, and I feel they did a good job of conveying that. E: Fatgum is fantastic, Tamaki was animated very well, and the splash screens of Kirishima were rad. I hope we get to see more of Uraraka and Froppy with Dragon Lady.

I really like how characters like nighteye and mirio aren't being presented negatively for taking the smart attitude towards hero work. Nighteye comes across as a tragic guy who really wanted to stop his hero from self destructing but his only power is knowing ahead of time that it'll definitely happen. Him pleading for all might to retire comes across as pretty sympathetic, when it'd be so easy and obvious to present him as a guy coldly and emotionlessly laying out the logical facts.

There's a difference between "putting your life on the line" and "being loving stupid and reckless". Heroes need to put their lives on the line but they also need to have some common sense and know when to pick their battles.

Heroes need to put their lives on the line but they also need to have some common sense and know when to pick their battles. Honestly, that seems to be what really made All Might what he was - he never needed to pick his battles, and never needed to compromise on doing the right thing, because he could never lose. That's what made him the symbol of peace, and that's what Izuku aspires to be. Of course, while Izuku has all of the raw power All Might had, he needs the skill and experience to actually attain that level of untouchability. But he's shown he has the right mindset for when he does.

Who could have predicted Did you miss the part where Gran Torino pointed out rushing into a situation and not getting Eri would make things worse? Or Aizawa pointing out that it wasn't necessarily despair that Eri felt when Deku missed her hand in that moment. The best outcome would have been Deku and Mirio successfully grabbing Eri and getting away. The worst outcome would have been Deku and Mirio unsuccessfully grabbing Eri. They don't know what the outcome would have been, but even if they knew failure rate at that time was 100% they'd be real lovely heroes if they didn't feel awful about not trying once they found out what was happening to her.
