Act one is nostalgic
Nostalgic bc it came out like 10 years ago lol
@@mackross 7 years if you watched the anime
@@stevenquartzcutiepiedemayo8272 God that's still insane...
Zoomer moment
Nothings happened lol
"this leaves people power scaling main character trauma" My man, of all the languages, you decided to speak based
his backstory gets low-diff'd by law from one piece and his outerversal trauma.
12:00 I love how he censored Mineta's face.
nobody else noticed omg
I thought it was hilarious
@@AsarathaHSYT lol
@@AsarathaHSYT No one? I had to pause the video just to process it for a moment.
@@AsarathaHSYTI did, but why did you
"DON'T BLAME ME FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT"
"COME AT ME WITH YOUR FULL POWER TODOROKI"
peak stuff man
absolutely stunning video, awesome to find out more tidbits about the deku name meaning, the fact that the anime was planned to be similar to one piece's release and explaining Bakugo's character arc, that's one thing that's always felt pretty abstract and tough for me to follow.
MHA's Act 1 has to be one of the most iconic anime and manga in recent memory for sure
Appreciate the huge amount of work that went into this, as this should be a reminder of why act 1 made us all Fall in love with the Series. This really made me think alot about on how Important the adaptation of season 6 will be for the series Popularity. I am one of the few who actually liked season 5 alot, which resulted in me starting the manga and now being up to date ever since :) cant wait for your Video on act 2
All Might VS All For One is still my favorite fight from the series to this day, there’s just so much awesome storytelling in it that is amazing to read and watch. It’s sad to see how the current state of My Hero Academia is but I hope the Series will end on a Good Note.
Thank you for making this video AsarathaHS, it was really awesome. =]
My favorite is Miro vs overhaul because Miro displays that you can still be hero without a quirk. I honestly don't think hewoulda lost to overhaul in base form if Ari wasn't there because it's established Overhaul was targeting her and Miro had to meatshield
True. Nice choice. 👍
This put all the eureka moments and randomly theorizing small moments in act 1I had throughout my time as a mha fan all compressed into a video and explained thoroughly, great video which explained my favourite acts and its relevant themes that can still be felt in the endgame of the series, can't wait for the next ones
I love how you don’t spoil anything for the anime only watchers. Nice little retrospective to watch after recently finishing season 5
I think the best thing of this manga is how it feels that is has the feeling of slow burn.
Shigaraki, the hero society (and for consequence, All Might), Endeavor...
If you're invested in some of these things that got development, you for sure are going to eat good.
I did not eat good.
@@TheYoungGeninSasuke if you're a shigaraki fan like me
yeah, we've been eating poisoned trash lateley.
@@MarianaBello-fq3hx What, people didn't like Shigaraki going from being the next biggest baddest lord of evil to effectively his masters meat puppet? Lol. Yeah, a lot of Shigaraki stuff is kind of bad in hindsight.
@@jazzmazz9214 act 3 is bad general. I pretend that the manga ended in volume 29 when he was defeated.
@@jazzmazz9214 yeah theres still good stuff about shiggy i know whats happening in the manga but i still love his character plus that doesnt mean he'll stay like that forever.
I thought Bakugo's redemption was handled badly
It feels rushed especially that apology and him trauma dumping on A trauma victim he created. I hate that screen.
@@christiansmith1895 And the fact that he faced little to no consequences is ridiculous
Awesome as always. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for more MHA and Re:Zero content. I wish you a great day from Germany
Great Video man, really appreciate the segment talking about the batman argument and the "all men are not created" part. So severely misunderstood and yet elaborated upon perfectly here :)
Damn, this is a long video! I'm gonna get some snacks.
Great video as always Asa ❤️ Your editing is also really good I think this is easily some of your best work
I still have the impression that the series as a whole is a bit more mid than good, but you did a pretty good job of getting me to appreciate certain aspects more than I did before.
One thing that I still think the first part struggles from is how hard they leaned into Bakugo’s antagonism. I get the insecurity angle that drives him to lash out, but the extent to which he lashes out really calls into question whether or not he deserves “redemption”. In the video you said that the Final Exams arc was Bakugo at his lowest, and yeah he was an absolute piece of shit there, but I think his worst moment was his first hero training class against Deku. Bakugo shot a giant explosion at Deku, despite All Might ordering him not to on the basis that it would kill Deku, and despite the possibility killing or severely injuring Deku Bakugo shows no sign of introspection or reflection to indicate that he’s remotely regretful for taking such a risk just to boost his ego.
It’s bad enough that it takes hundreds of chapters for Bakugo to bother apologizing to Deku, but for him to not even feel bad subconsciously for nearly killing somebody he knew since childhood really puts Bakugo’s characterization in a bad light.
i will have a lot to say when it comes to bakugo in act 2
Looking forward to it.
the series is good, bakugou just aint it.
This video is amazing. Keep it up bro, can't wait to see the next one 🙌
This video was amazing. Excellent analysis and thank you for keeping it free of manga spoilers. I’ll definitely watch Part 2.
Good analysis! I wasn't into the fandom back then so I learned a lot :)
Great video
As a manga artist myself. This was beautiful and well put together!!🎉🎉🎉. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!!
Thank god there exist people like you to deepen my understanding of series like these.
Astounding job!
this is probably the best MHA vid out there
Great video dude its good to see some mha content thats praising and not bashing on the current manga
And i know that the manga wasnt as good as it was before but does have good aspects.
I still love caracters like deku and shiggy belive it or not i still think shiggys a great villain
Plus i dont think horis gonna keep afo in shiggys body.
i do love to see some my hero praise
Finally the retrospective of MHA we were all waiting for. Offtopic but you sound like moistcritical
Long video... Nice. I'm going to eat pudding to this
Good work, but I think that constantly referring vaguely to "shonen tropes" and how MHA subverts them (you can probably find some shonen tropes that one moment subverts, but also some tropes that that same moment probably plays into), the review of a work should be mostly self-contained. Why is a moment satisfying within the narrative? Is it only in context of the larger shonen landscape that it "subverts"? Or can it stand on its own, and provide intriguing moments that are intriguing because of what has been set up within the narrative? I think MHA can stand on its own just fine.
I dont know if you are cutting up the acts the same way I do
Act 1 : beginning- Afo arrest
Act 2 : licence exam - the war arc
Act 3 : villain hunt - end
But if you do I'd like to see you compare each act at the end personally I think act 2 is gonna be the best even though act 1 has hard hitters like sports festival, stain arc, and the training camp. I cant find any arc in act 2 that I dont like even tho I read most of it weekly while also having the behemoths of MVA, the war arc and gentles arc.act 3 already has a few misses imo stars and stripes villain hunt being short Idk why but also horikoshi seems to have fell out of the flow state he was in for the later act 2 arcs hopefully this final stretch delivers
That Gran Torino and Stain visual parallel is peak
Despite my issues with MHA I still really look back fondly on 3 seasons of MHA particularly the sport's festival it was introduction to MHA so it will always hold a special place in my heart
On your point about fights being more emotionally griping rather than being for spectical.. I think you can have both it just comes down to creativity and good choreography. Not to say all fights in MHA a bad I love a lot of them they just leave me wanting more if that makes sense.
But thank you for your retrospective
FUCKING FANTASTIC VIDEO MAN
This video was so well put together and definitely worth the wait! By the way what was the OST name at around 1:28? I've been looking for it for a while but I can't seem to find it
Self Analysis from the MHA OST
@@AsarathaHSYT Hey thank you so much! Really looking forward to your act 2 analysis!
damn glad i found the vid, cant wait for act 2
Dude what a good fucking video. I appreciate this shit so much
part 2 october 1st
good video, I don’t agree with ur kamino analysis though. thought it was legitimately bad. but besides that the video is fine
*** ** ***
@@AsarathaHSYT what is he saying?
Thanks!
12:02 I love how mineta is blurred out lol
MHA had me sold at you say run😂 but I barely even noticed the lack of choreography because the emotion and dialogue and stuff is just sooo amazing
Like deku Vs todoroki barely had choreography but it’s one of the best fights ever
25:30 i’m a bungo stray dogs fan and when you mentioned kenji i perked up 😭 i’m so normal i swear
Anyone else appreciate the fact the he cencered mineta.
All man are not created equal
He’s right cause he not only he got a quirk 4eps later he got 5 more
loved he vid
Damn this is so underrated
YOU CENSORED MINETA IM FREAKING DYING
The Deku poem perfectly summarizes Deku’s character so well. That absolutely must have been planned! Also, what exactly were the allegations against Bakugou in the Kamino arc? It’s related to Naruto but I wasn’t in the fandom of MHA at the time nor have I watched Naruto
I would love to see a vigilante deku fighting villains with weapons and strategies maybe even a fight against stain
Also I know is japan and guns are hard to obtain but there must be some heroes like the punisher killing villains like no tomorrow
those are vigilantes and criminals in the MHA world.
The punisher isn't even a hero, he's just a serial killer with a sad anime backstory.
Funny you mention how much of a mess you mentioned the manga juggling multiple fights was, it's still an issue now lol. Hopefully it's fixed in the anime. Also I really like that poem you mentioned!
Nice lil logo in the top left corner lol
23:12 Oh wow, I never noticed this.
Is there any proof about the statement of MHA originally being an ongoing anime? Like hard evidence that that was the plan at one point? Very curious and interested in what could’ve been
To be fair at first when I started reading and watching this series I thought bakugo would end up being a villain I mean the trade of psycho good guy in anime is there but bakugo was way worse than most I felt however as the story progressed and I got older I noticed how realistic bakugos anger truly was some teenage boys are just angry for no real reason and he doesn’t really make them bad people per say it can but it doesn’t have to and I like that the writer look that route the one thing I do hate is how ICST was treated after being revealed as the “traitor” I don’t consider him a traitor because he did not want to be involved at all he was roped into it from a dumb mistake his parents made but AFO also threatened to murder everyone ICST loved and cared for and he is like 15 I assume if you were 15 and your parents made a dumb mistake maybe took money from the mob then the don looked you in the eyes and said “you work for me or I’ll kill everyone you love” you do what the fuck he says especially when they are as powerful as AFO you don’t say no to a man like that in that scenario ICST was the only TRUE hero he did what any smart hero would’ve done kept his mouth shut to save lives didn’t worry about the pride of “being a hero” and getting a LOT of people killed but also no one seems to villainize hawks for doing essentially the exact same thing but in favour of the heroes the difference of course being hawks had a choice he could’ve said no and let someone else go undercover he chose to do it because he believed he was doing the right thing ICST also believed he was saving lives and doing the right thing by keeping this secret that was clearly killing him inside then only to be treated as one of the worst villains it was disgusting really shows the black and white nature of “good and evil” in this series which I believe is one of the points not all “heroes” are “pure good” not all “villains” are “genuinely evil” some heroes do what they do for selfish reasons some villains do what they do for completely understandable and justifiable reasons
bro is Dry Cr1TiKaL
33:38 So does anyone have a guess why consequences for the protagonist are rare or nonexistent in some shonen series?
I stopped reading MHA, but apparently these consequences about his arms were canceled out recently. So, there's your answer. :P
The way you blurred out Mineta 😭
Dude, there is more space between the words in your sentences than there is between your jumpcuts between different sentences. What in god's name is this editing?
lol, but I agree, some of the editing of the video really needed some work.
Yes
Love how minta was censored
Leaving comment to help against the algorithm.
God, you deserve so many more subs than you have.
6:59 i see what u did there
Can you say Gungalor in the next video?
Crybaby Deku didn't come from him having emotions. It came from the fact that he crys all the time. He's pretty much drawn with tears in his eyes over half the time.
Can you make Toga x Deku if you already rewrite everything ?
O_o 8:18
Part 2 when (mha had a generally boring second act)
we aren't sure when yet
5:36 what's wrong with masculinity? 🤨
The problem is not being masculine, the problem is that some people posses the idea that a man shouldn't cry... the strong shouldn't show weakness, or anything similar in meaning but different words
yeah... it's stupid, I know...
The fact that this show is more than a hero show, and yet the fanbase just goes crazy with gay shipping and stuff
Man My Hero was so good back in the first two acts... What happened to this series and its rapid decline in quality needs to be studied
Dog what are you on about. The series only got better as it went on.
**** **** ** ***** ******.
His mother telling him he cant be a hero makes her a good mother. You cant have a child with a disability and set them up with the thought they can do anything in life, because they cant. Thats my only issue with this series. His mother was right. Where she was wrong was... why didnt she look into it more. See how he could help heros. Why couldnt he study and make tech and gear for heroes.
I remember how people said MHA make them remember of Nature.
But Damn, the path is the same, specially when you rewatch with actual standars you see how the early vood writing just derange into massive battles and hyper power scaling.
Not to mention the retcon with Shipuden and all. Trully, a predecesor worth of the Naruto name.
Also, first Naruto themes where "underdogs" and "Privileged"
Remember Neji and my boy ROCK LEE!
i didnt like deku crying all the time because of some bullshit about masculinity lol. i didnt like it because he was being a dork and the constant crying over nothing was pathetic. but mostly because the VA in english and japanese during those scenes make it really skin crawling to watch.
the crying in naruto was done well btw. midoriya is legit a baby for season 1
8 days ago?
the UA-cam bell proves to be utterly worthless yet again 😑
you didnt get a notification for this?!
@@AsarathaHSYT nope 😵💫 not even on my feed, I found the video myself through your last community post
@@twicejaeger6997 UA-cam SUCKS
Boy mha would of been so much better if deku didn't get powers now I think everyone I mean everyone was like deku when it was revealed that he was getting powers "like wtf? I wanted deku to be batman well OK long as the powers don't overshadow everything making making us wish more and more for a non powered character" dammit all might could of still been his mentor but it would of been soo much better if deku was the guy who used training to surpass superpowers it like he took a 10 idea and brought us down to a 7 ...5,6 at worst of blah blah here's why you can't defend yourself from a serial killer but a powerless hero would be able to do ANYTHING because the rules are about quirks!!! Oh the rules say i cannot harm a villain with powers no problem. ...not to mention that powers that copy or mess with quirks would also be meaningless
Batma' isn't your average human either.
@@djantouahmed7319 ya but being a hero in mha is just a normal job so in mha batman would fit into society very differently. would be nice to see the mha world from the quirk less perspective i still have no idea if deku being bullied for being quirkless is common? even if deku was chosen to get powers would be better if it was because he could be effective without powers would of felt like he actually prepared to be a hero. I think a quirkless villain could be really awesome would of been better if deku could of been the quirkless hero fighting a quirkless villain stain would of been even more intimidating if he took down heroes without powers
Fun video but can't wait to hear incessant complaining about act 2 and 3 🙄
9:00
yeah MHA kinda glances near a story about mumen rider esc MC who through sheer effort becomes as powerful as "real" heroes, can see how people could have preferred that but tis not the story.
Holy shit, watching this video made me realize truly how much Hori destroyed his story with AFO. All that build up, all that the story was pointing towards was all thrown to the trash because “AFO was the one behind everything and Shigaraki was only a pawn in his hands with no will of his own”. My god, the more I think about it, the sadder it gets to see this decline…
Shig was always meant to be that to AFO, did you think he wasn't? SPOILERS FOR MANGA
It makes all of that charcter development finally hit when Shig breaks away from his influence
