As we've all re-stated in this comment section, you just nailed this one, divide. For the love of the gods, please just do your best to keep it up - it's all we'll ever ask of you. At the very least, it's all this random stranger on the internet who hopes to sing as well as you someday will ever think to request of you.
You do incredible music. I've listened and fell in love with your music for Avatar The Last Airbender and Naruto. I feel like you'd awesome with a song for Miraculous Ladybug, particularly one for Cat Noir.
Damn, I had no idea you stuck with anime. UA-cam stopped recommending, and I just went with your community post. Hope you've stuck to it because you enjoy it, this shit always goes hard.
Absolutely love the fact that my two favourite artists work together. You guy's are incredible. Most all, thank you for sharing your gifts with the world 🔥
FabvL, I hope you make more like "Cross My Heart Reimagined", "The King", "Ice Cold" and such.. amazing songs. My workout list (which now a days, really is the only list I listen to), is filled with Divide Musics and yours music.
This really captures the essence of midoriya's desperation to protect everyone even if it meant leaving them behind to try and fight the villains alone, you can really feel the emotional touch that's displayed here
Dude was on lonely crusade but was falling apart inside. It was sad to watch that happen to him but it also shows how much Deku is willing to be hero. Divide you did good man.
Amen to that! His story had me tear up at certain points of the series! He was torn up at a young age, and was beaten to near death countless times. Bro had it harder than anyone in the entire series. At least that's how I viewed it.
Honestly, one of the best anime arcs I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. Seeing Deku go down this dark path while having little to no mercy was a pleasure to watch.
After listening to this song I had tears. Words cannot describe how blessed we all are when you create masterpieces like these. Keeping up the great work Divide!
To those who say this song is 'bad' or 'cringe', answer me this - would you be calling it that still if it had no imagery, just the lyrics on screen, and had no indication it was a fan-made anime song?
@@heetshah9394 I Think The Anime Skipped Some Of The Chapters From The Manga And Just Skipped Straight To The Good Part Of Vigilante Deku Because It Would've Been Way Too Long Otherwise
So uh, I don’t know if you know this but people like Daddyphatsnaps Rustage Shwabadi DizzyEight GameboyJones Have all made Deku raps so uh, maybe also give those a listen
Keep in mind, he is 15 to 16 at most during this arc. And he is out here doing what most grown adults with powers aren't willing to do. Risking his life to the bitter end in hopes that one day, everyone can feel safe and smile once more. I think a quote from spiderman 2 says it best "he's just a kid." It's tragic to see this, but you have to see it unfold. It's portrayed painfully well in the manga, the anime, and it sure as hell is portrayed well in this song! Rock on Divide!
Another thing to keep in mind: Deku was half-dead from sleep depravation and holding himself up with One for All (Mostly Blackwhip), and it *still* took 1-A's A-game just to keep up with him (And keep him from just running away) during their "fight".
From the second I saw "vigilante deku," I knew this song was gonna be a worthy tribute to the 9th user, for the monumental task inherited from users past. Well done as always divide you never disappoint.
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Through the night I face the fears for those who couldn't fight I'll bleed the beast that lurks inside your mind You cannot hide, cannot hide I have spent Every waking moment in my head Fighting off the shadows you had left But what was left? What was left? [Pre-Chorus] I look out on a concrete jungle Fallout had the buildings crumble I can't put this behind me Or just pretend They wait out for the chance I stumble Fall down and my heart might fumble You will never be like me So try again [Chorus] I won't compromise You must be out of your mind Smoke is filling up your skies Can't drag me under Look into my eyes Everything I've left behind What I've paid to make this right Can't drag me under [Verse 2] What went gone Lives of those who'd never see the dawn Break again because of what went wrong I must go alone, so please, just go home Go home [Pre-Chorus] I look out on a concrete jungle Fallout had the buildings crumble I can't put this behind me Or just pretend They wait out for the chance I stumble Fall down and my heart might fumble You will never be like me So try again [Chorus] I won't compromise You must be out of your mind Smoke is filling up your skies Can't drag me under Look into my eyes Everything I've left behind What I've paid to make this right Can't drag me under [Bridge] Voices I know They tell me I should come home Too long I've been on the road But I am, but I am far from running [Chorus] I won't compromise You must be out of your mind Smoke is filling up your skies (Can't drag me under) Look into my eyes Everything I've left behind What I've paid to make this right Can't drag me under
still tearing up remembering the manga panel where the woman deku saved runs in to hug him, one of the best arcs ive seen yet, thank you for this master of a track Divide !
Deku inspires me to be a better person. Seeing him go all out and do what's right at the cost of everything really pushes me to want to do the same. Thank you for this music, it's truly inspiring as well!
I LOED THE SONG , the portraying of IZUKU in the back the scenes really matched and worked soo well with song ,and at the last , THE JOUNEY OF IZUKU FROM START TILL NOW AMAZING
Put off listening to this because I didn't get to this part of the series yet and didn't want spoilers, then is comes on while I'm alt tabbed and I was like "WHAT A BANGER! FUG IT!" Got me too amped to ignore! When it kicks up to " I won't compromise, you must be out of your mind" is perfect. The unwavering heart of a hero. Also just thank you for your music so much. Been a fan for years now and literally listen to you and Fabvl every day hahaha. Got me through some stuff both and you have my gratitude for that.
I didn't watch after s2 but this song makes me feel emotions like sadness, loneliness, and staying strong. It’s like Deku is feeling these things, and you’re telling us about it through this song.
Any one else notice this line? Its not all black and white most things are shades of grey a blend of fear and anger, which is exactly why I've gotta lend a helping hand! Izuku midorya.I love this line its on the screen at the beginning while showing the manga I think
This is my favorite!! It perfectly describes Deku's desire, (more like need), to protect those around him, which resulted to him fighting off villains alone. What he didn't realise is that he needed his friends beside him and as the saying goes, "Together we are stronger; together we are unbroken; together we can do anything." At that time and place, I think those are words Deku needed to hear. Also, a special thanks to Divide Music for making this song and all your other music! It is such a blessing to be able to listen to your music on my way to (Tas)Tafe each morning and afternoon. 💚💚
This is a great song it really captures Deku's growth from the boy in season 4 who doubted if he was worth to be the successor. To being the man who realizes that no else can do it so he has to prove he is. The rizzalanty tracks are nothing but heat.
I was hyped as hell when I was listening to this. But I noticed something. The last part of the song where it's the flashback of Deku's growth. It sounds ALOT (I might be tripping) like the beat/track from your Deku song "Pride." Phenomenal. That had me in a state I couldn't describe.
I can honestly say that, you're the artist that has brought the most emotion out of me, out of my 35 years, your music has had me shed more tears ave feel more emotion than any show, movie, book, or piece of music I've ever listened to. YOU ARE FANTASTIC
With every divide song my favorite is always contemplated or switch and I really love how at 3:45 he threw a bone to his old listeners because that was the opening gutair riff for his first deku song
Oh my god, so good! Every Divide song NEEDS to be incorporated into the shows/ movies they're based on, I swear! Like why haven't these movies and shows just hired him to make their music?! Sssooo freakin good!
Awesome is the only word that can describe this channel of yours Divide. I may have only discovered it by accident back in 2019, but I have been hooked on your content ever since. I am repeatedly blown away by your music every time you release a new song. I truly hope you never stop creating. 😁👍
this is such an awesome tribute to a well written child trying to be like his idol as he saw him not as he truly was and ultimatly becoming what all might always was. desheveled, crumbling but uncomprimising a symbol of peace and pillar of justice. just ochakos face shows everything about her character because from that very first ova she took aizawas words to heart who will save a hero when they need help.
"They tell me "I should come home, Too long I've been on the road" But I am, But I am... Far from running!" Damn, these lyrics go hard! This might be your best song to date! Love it!!!
I've no idea about what happens in My Hero Academia after the internship arc, but this kinda makes me want to go back and watch the whole anime. Great song as always!
This song is next level!!! Deku is my favourite character and this song really captures him at his darkest lowest moment right now and I am so glad you made this song this is forever his main theme!!!!!!
This song has inspired me like nothing before. The emotion rolling off every lyric and visual. The instrumental was METAL. Gave me chills! So inspiring, you just gained another subscriber and you best believe I'm rocking out to all your videos. Now then! While listening to this song on repeat, I give you the scene it brought me. A story, from Deku's perspective and with a different take. What if his friends had failed to take him home? Enjoy. I failed to make it short. It's raining again. Why is it always raining? Deku looked up at the drooping sky with matching eyes. Dull. It’d been three days since Kacchan, Ochaco and the others had tried to take him back to UA… He’d broken through Todoroki’s ice that day, using Fa Jin, Black Whip, and One For All at 100% to slingshot himself away from his friends. He’d released another smokescreen before he hit the clouds, pushing himself to the limit. They chased him down for hours, the only thing sustaining Deku's escape was the thought of All For One using his friends against him. The broken hero flew through four cities before he finally lost them, Bakugo being the hardest to shake off. Deku gave the last of his energy avoiding the people he cared for the most. His chest ached at the memory, but he pushed it away. He couldn't put them in any more danger. It was fine. He would be fine. He pushed away the voices of the other users as they tried to console him, give him advice. He’d gotten good at tuning them out. A broken skyline that matched the weather was laid before him. Shadows cascading in the night over the rubble and fallen buildings. Deku slowly stood on shaky legs. When was the last time he’d eaten again? Cold droplets seeped through his costume, chilling his bones. He’d stayed here too long. Time to move. A sudden stabbing in his head. He launched off the skyscraper as something the size of a missile barreled into the concrete behind him. A villain? He pulled up his cowl, power surging through his veins as he called upon One For All. "Ha! You're the shrimp I have to bring in?” A voice bellowed from the new gaping hole in the building. Deku righted himself in the air, whipping to face the threat, air electrified by his power. Who is he? Deku snapped out with the strands of Black Whip, propelling himself far above the impact. A massive figure emerged from the rubble, grinning wildly and dripping with rainwater. The ragged vigilante started at the face. A monster of a villain, thick mane of hair, bulging muscles, powerful leather wings and a rattling scorpion tail. A stab in Deku’s head. Run. He turned. Despite rivaling Muscular in size, Manticore launched himself at Deku with incredible speed, flinging droplets in his wake. Deku released Float, free falling and releasing a thick Smokescreen, disorienting the villain. Releasing all this smoke in such a poor state made Deku’s skin burn with intensity. The sixth reminded him that he was pushing too hard. Deku ignored him. Purple fog choked the air as Manticore gave a roar of laughter. “Trying to hide, little rodent?” A stab. Deku dodged with a grunt as a scorpion tail whipped out at his face, and a blustery gale cleared the fog with one mighty wing beat. The villain grinned at him. Lightning lit the contours of his face. Manticore, one of the convicts released from Tartarus. Brought in by a team of heroes a few years ago. His name was Akuma Bushida, his quirk was the same as his nickname, with manticore-like abilities. This included the strength of a lion, the speed and venomous tail of a scorpion, and powerful dragon wings. How did he get this way….? No. What information did he have on Shigaraki and All For One. He felt weak, his body drained without rest. His vision blurred, he shook his head vigorously. Heavy Black Whip threads lashed out between two buildings. Deku called on Fa Jin to combine for a slingshot kick. He strained the black strands, pumping his legs. Fa Jin 25%. One For All 45%. Thirty feet. Release. He couldn’t feel his legs. FOCUS. The villain charged. Angle shift. Fifteen feet. Perfect. “Where.” Deku shot past Manticore, dodging the hand reaching for his face, and gripping the scorpion tail. “Is.” Gathering all his strength, Deku flung Manticore hard into the nearest building with a roar. “ALL FOR ONE,” He snarled, rocketing after the villain as the building crumbled. Rubble exploded with the fall of the structure, clouds of debris quickly dissipated in the rain. Already panting, staggering in the air, Deku recalled any information he had on the villain. He was defeated after being trapped and heavily tranquilized, taken down by two top notch heroes. Other weaknesses… Deku noticed his left wing slightly lagged. A past injury? He was obviously a reckless fighter. Using his size against him would work. Watch for his venom. Easy. Manticore burst from the remains of the building with a roar, stretching his wings to their full span and with one stroke blasting into the air. His trajectory changed, his eyes calculating. He had a plan. Deku didn’t give him time to execute it, he dove forward, One For All 50%, his legs shivered with power. Thunder roared above. With a war cry, Deku drove his leg towards the villain’s wing. A stab. He couldn't dodge. Something paralyzed his movements. What?? He was suspended in air, and Manticore barrelled into him, driving Deku to the concrete below. His mask was flung off. The stink of the villain’s breath enveloped him before they hit the street far below. Deku felt something in his torso shatter, and blood erupted from his lips. His head throbbed and his vision swam. Deku’s eyes rolled in their sockets, and he fought to stay conscious. He trembled with exhaustion. Move. Please move. He couldn’t. The other users became more clear, trying to rouse him as he slipped away. Manticore was saying something, but his voice was far away. A new face appeared, blurry features coming to focus. Rain pelted Deku’s face. “All For One wants him alive, you bumbling oaf,” the muffled voice of the newcomer growled. She looked like…. An insect? A bee or wasp perhaps. Mrs. Sting… Another escapee. Delicate wings covered by a cloak, and needle-like stingers in her wrists. They could be shot like bullets from her skin… She picked their poison. Static began to fill his vision, and Deku began to struggle against Manticore’s grip in vain. His strength was spent. He tried to reach out with Black Whip, but the strands were limp slugs that shivered at his commands. “He can still move after being stung?” Mrs. Sting said with astonishment, “that's impossible!” It was getting hard to breathe, Deku wheezing with every breath. “Let’s go,” Manticore smirked as he picked up Deku by the arm. Tears prickled in Deku’s eyes and he cried out in pain as his chest flared with pain Don't pass out. DON’T PASS OUT. His heart fell. The reality of the situation. UA…. Ochaco…. Iida…. Kacchan…. What had he done? How could he have pushed them all away?? Mrs. Sting shot another needle stinger into his veins. Tears mixed with rain as he slipped into unconsciousness. He failed. Yeah Izuku would've no doubt been captured if he'd kept on with his vigilantism. I hope I give his character good justice in the way he reacted to the situations, I tried to make sure I didn't write a whole novel haha Thanks for reading!
This song is the perfect representation of a hero's personal struggle to save everyone at the cost of themselves. It's heroic and sad all at the same time.
Awesome. You can hear the defiance in the song. Deku's will to fight back. His desire simply going beyond being a hero. Now, he doesn't have to fight alone.
After a single Listen every word of the chorus is indented into my mind like a hammer on an anvil and it’s incredible! Thank you for the beautiful music divide I’ve never seen another artist who knows the power of words like this !
The lyrics really match to what was happening in season 6 of the series Boku No Hero Academia. And the part of "Voices I know, they tell me I should come home" is really touching, the "voices I know" relates to Deku's classmates and he knows them bc why not and "they tell me I should come home" relates to his classmates trying to get him back into UA and tell him the reasons why they're his friends. As an enormous fan of BNHA, I can say that this song is really good as in a 100% accurate if you relate the lyrics to season 6 of the series.
This is gorgeous, bud. Always need these kind of songs to pick me up when times get rough to remind myself that you can be broken and yet still push through to be your own hero. Much love!
This is literally the best music video I've seen, and I've seen a lot. The song really fits this arc really well, and the video portrayed exactly what Midoriya's facing at that time.
I cried when I listened to this song for the first time on Spotify. It represented me, in a certain part. This song for me is magic, awesome and perfect. Well done!
This song really captures the essence of deku during this arc, the feeling of burden and pain whilst also looking for the future. (wished the arc lasted a few more episodes and a few more chapters tbh.) Amazing job as always.
Deku deserved so much better. His life, his responsibilities...it's just too much. He's only fifteen or sixteen. All of class 1A needs therapy but especially Deku.
You really knocked it out of the park again, Divide. This is another banger that had me crying cause this Arc for Deku was honestly sad to watch, but you freaking delivered the feels. This easily surpassed Pride in scale and emotional songwriting, hands down
This one hit me different... had me in tears by the second minute. "Everything I've Left Behind, What I paid to make this right..." absolutely incredible Divide. So amazing and emotional and powerful. Love it so much.
never watched MHA. I don't know what deku is going through in this arc, but I don't need to. this goes beyond just MHA, this song applies to everyone. Divide, you never miss and never will. You are number 1.
This song and music video is a perfect embodiment of this arc and what vigilante deku represented as a character and as a whole for where the story of mha is going. As someone who has found comfort in deku since the beginning and to see where he is now is something that resonates heavy within myself. I thank you Divide for putting your voice and talent towards this song because this song is so emotional and powerful. I love all your music but this one made me weep and yet and the same time filled me with hope. Love ya 💕💕💕
Throughout this anime there's countless things that could turn a lesser man into a completely evil villain yet he keeps fightin. "i won't compromise" fits him perfectly
A year ago this song came out, and after listening to this song a lot on Spotify, I just had to come back for the actual video. It's still just as good as when it came out. Probably my favourite MHA nerdcore song I have ever heard, and will probably ever hear.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG. You've made a masterpiece. ❤❤😍 The dark deku arc is my favorite arc in all the series. I love deku's character development and it's just so tragic how he felt like he had to be a martyr to protect their already broken world. He did everything he could to fix it until he collapsed. I'm so glad that his classmates were able to pull him out of the darkness. They can face it together instead.
I've been waiting for this! It goes so hard, man! It's no wonder you said everything fell into place and that you were so happy with it. Rightfully so!

You ain’t never lie.
close but still spidey had it worst.
its suffering and resolve for that wall crawler.
True but Spidey didn't have no one to help him when he was down. Deku atleast has friends and a mentor to set him on the right path.

Serioulsy, Izuku needs a big hug the cheer him up after everything that he went throughout the arc.
For real I could see Peter in Izuku shoes at this point

that's what happens when a kid never learns self preservation instinct (in a superhuman society though)
Ok, I got it, but Shigaraki could appear with he's minions and win Deku, and rob one for all.
adding that little bit of Pride at the end with the clips of deku's training was a perfect ending...
I love the riffs from Deku’s “Pride” song at the end. It’s rougher like he’s still the same person inside behind all the pain
*'I must go alone, so please, just go home'* this line gave me goosebumps. So much emotion.
From the second I saw "vigilante deku," I knew this song was gonna be a worthy tribute to the 9th user, for the monumental task inherited from users past. Well done as always divide you never disappoint.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Through the night
I face the fears for those who couldn't fight
I'll bleed the beast that lurks inside your mind
You cannot hide, cannot hide
I have spent
Every waking moment in my head
Fighting off the shadows you had left
But what was left? What was left?
[Pre-Chorus]
I look out on a concrete jungle
Fallout had the buildings crumble
I can't put this behind me
Or just pretend
They wait out for the chance I stumble
Fall down and my heart might fumble
You will never be like me
So try again
[Chorus]
I won't compromise
You must be out of your mind
Smoke is filling up your skies
Can't drag me under
Look into my eyes
Everything I've left behind
What I've paid to make this right
Can't drag me under
[Verse 2]
What went gone
Lives of those who'd never see the dawn
Break again because of what went wrong
I must go alone, so please, just go home
Go home
[Pre-Chorus]
I look out on a concrete jungle
Fallout had the buildings crumble
I can't put this behind me
Or just pretend
They wait out for the chance I stumble
Fall down and my heart might fumble
You will never be like me
So try again
[Chorus]
I won't compromise
You must be out of your mind
Smoke is filling up your skies
Can't drag me under
Look into my eyes
Everything I've left behind
What I've paid to make this right
Can't drag me under
[Bridge]
Voices I know
They tell me I should come home
Too long I've been on the road
But I am, but I am far from running
[Chorus]
I won't compromise
You must be out of your mind
Smoke is filling up your skies
(Can't drag me under)
Look into my eyes
Everything I've left behind
What I've paid to make this right
Can't drag me under

still tearing up remembering the manga panel where the woman deku saved runs in to hug him, one of the best arcs ive seen yet, thank you for this master of a track Divide !
❤️🔥love how he sounds like “Three Days Grace” but has the flow of “My Darkest Days”
This channel officially makes up like a solid 15% of my liked songs on Spotify by now.
Deku inspires me to be a better person. Seeing him go all out and do what's right at the cost of everything really pushes me to want to do the same. Thank you for this music, it's truly inspiring as well!
I feel the same way. Izuku and Superman (or Clark Kent) inspire me to be better. I suggest superman if you really like heroes like Deku or All might.
I LOED THE SONG , the portraying of IZUKU in the back the scenes really matched and worked soo well with song ,and at the last , THE JOUNEY OF IZUKU FROM START TILL NOW AMAZING
The emotion in this song just compliments izuku's conviction to stop the villains one of the best songs I've heard ❤
Put off listening to this because I didn't get to this part of the series yet and didn't want spoilers, then is comes on while I'm alt tabbed and I was like "WHAT A BANGER! FUG IT!" Got me too amped to ignore! When it kicks up to " I won't compromise, you must be out of your mind" is perfect. The unwavering heart of a hero. Also just thank you for your music so much. Been a fan for years now and literally listen to you and Fabvl every day hahaha. Got me through some stuff both and you have my gratitude for that.
I didn't watch after s2 but this song makes me feel emotions like sadness, loneliness, and staying strong. It’s like Deku is feeling these things, and you’re telling us about it through this song.
I can definitely see this song being used for another MHA movie. This was amazing!
Any one else notice this line? Its not all black and white most things are shades of grey a blend of fear and anger, which is exactly why I've gotta lend a helping hand!
Izuku midorya.I love this line its on the screen at the beginning while showing the manga I think
The visuals are amazing, Sounds amazing as always, and the Lyrics fit this arc so perfectly. Fire as usual.
Guys please continue to shoutout Divide everywhere you can. This dude deserves more love than we could possibly give right now.
This song is an absolute banger, well done Divide.
This is my favorite!! It perfectly describes Deku's desire, (more like need), to protect those around him, which resulted to him fighting off villains alone. What he didn't realise is that he needed his friends beside him and as the saying goes, "Together we are stronger; together we are unbroken; together we can do anything." At that time and place, I think those are words Deku needed to hear. Also, a special thanks to Divide Music for making this song and all your other music! It is such a blessing to be able to listen to your music on my way to (Tas)Tafe each morning and afternoon. 💚💚
AMAZING SONG, DIVIDE! NOBODY CAN DRAG YOU UNDER!
This is a great song it really captures Deku's growth from the boy in season 4 who doubted if he was worth to be the successor. To being the man who realizes that no else can do it so he has to prove he is. The rizzalanty tracks are nothing but heat.
I was hyped as hell when I was listening to this. But I noticed something. The last part of the song where it's the flashback of Deku's growth. It sounds ALOT (I might be tripping) like the beat/track from your Deku song "Pride." Phenomenal. That had me in a state I couldn't describe.
You’re not tripping!
I can honestly say that, you're the artist that has brought the most emotion out of me, out of my 35 years, your music has had me shed more tears ave feel more emotion than any show, movie, book, or piece of music I've ever listened to.
YOU ARE FANTASTIC
With every divide song my favorite is always contemplated or switch and I really love how at 3:45 he threw a bone to his old listeners because that was the opening gutair riff for his first deku song
Called pride for anybody wants to take a listen if you havent
This is so good dude. One of my new favorite choruses from you EASY.
Sinewave! Hope you're doing alright, love your music! Take care! 💕
Oh my god, so good! Every Divide song NEEDS to be incorporated into the shows/ movies they're based on, I swear! Like why haven't these movies and shows just hired him to make their music?! Sssooo freakin good!
Awesome is the only word that can describe this channel of yours Divide. I may have only discovered it by accident back in 2019, but I have been hooked on your content ever since. I am repeatedly blown away by your music every time you release a new song. I truly hope you never stop creating. 😁👍
Wow thank you for the continued support!!
Props to the editor, matching a song like this with an electric music video
1:00 "i look out on a concrete jungle", love that, you make some amazing songs
this is such an awesome tribute to a well written child trying to be like his idol as he saw him not as he truly was and ultimatly becoming what all might always was. desheveled, crumbling but uncomprimising a symbol of peace and pillar of justice. just ochakos face shows everything about her character because from that very first ova she took aizawas words to heart who will save a hero when they need help.
"They tell me "I should come home, Too long I've been on the road" But I am, But I am... Far from running!" Damn, these lyrics go hard! This might be your best song to date! Love it!!!
It always blows my mind how consistently my favourite song from you changes. I adore this so much, keep killing it Divide
Right? He's so full of passion and I constantly find it hard to choose.
Thank you chimps!
I've no idea about what happens in My Hero Academia after the internship arc, but this kinda makes me want to go back and watch the whole anime. Great song as always!
I am speechless, this is not just a song is a history of how they became the greatest heroes of all time...😢😢😢
That moment at 1:23 chills man. Just pure chils man.
Oh God, this was majestic! SO MUCH EMOTION! SO MUCH CARE PUT INTO THE LYRICS! I'M CRYING!
This song is next level!!! Deku is my favourite character and this song really captures him at his darkest lowest moment right now and I am so glad you made this song this is forever his main theme!!!!!!
This song was amazing, you never disappoint anyone when a new song from you comes out . Can’t wait for the next one, and have a great day
This song has inspired me like nothing before.
The emotion rolling off every lyric and visual. The instrumental was METAL. Gave me chills!
So inspiring, you just gained another subscriber and you best believe I'm rocking out to all your videos.
Now then! While listening to this song on repeat, I give you the scene it brought me.
A story, from Deku's perspective and with a different take. What if his friends had failed to take him home?
Enjoy. I failed to make it short.
It's raining again. Why is it always raining?
Deku looked up at the drooping sky with matching eyes. Dull.
It’d been three days since Kacchan, Ochaco and the others had tried to take him back to UA…
He’d broken through Todoroki’s ice that day, using Fa Jin, Black Whip, and One For All at 100% to slingshot himself away from his friends.
He’d released another smokescreen before he hit the clouds, pushing himself to the limit.
They chased him down for hours, the only thing sustaining Deku's escape was the thought of All For One using his friends against him.
The broken hero flew through four cities before he finally lost them, Bakugo being the hardest to shake off.
Deku gave the last of his energy avoiding the people he cared for the most.
His chest ached at the memory, but he pushed it away. He couldn't put them in any more danger.
It was fine. He would be fine.
He pushed away the voices of the other users as they tried to console him, give him advice. He’d gotten good at tuning them out.
A broken skyline that matched the weather was laid before him. Shadows cascading in the night over the rubble and fallen buildings.
Deku slowly stood on shaky legs. When was the last time he’d eaten again?
Cold droplets seeped through his costume, chilling his bones. He’d stayed here too long. Time to move.
A sudden stabbing in his head. He launched off the skyscraper as something the size of a missile barreled into the concrete behind him.
A villain? He pulled up his cowl, power surging through his veins as he called upon One For All.
"Ha! You're the shrimp I have to bring in?” A voice bellowed from the new gaping hole in the building.
Deku righted himself in the air, whipping to face the threat, air electrified by his power.
Who is he?
Deku snapped out with the strands of Black Whip, propelling himself far above the impact.
A massive figure emerged from the rubble, grinning wildly and dripping with rainwater.
The ragged vigilante started at the face. A monster of a villain, thick mane of hair, bulging muscles, powerful leather wings and a rattling scorpion tail.
A stab in Deku’s head. Run. He turned.
Despite rivaling Muscular in size, Manticore launched himself at Deku with incredible speed, flinging droplets in his wake.
Deku released Float, free falling and releasing a thick Smokescreen, disorienting the villain. Releasing all this smoke in such a poor state made Deku’s skin burn with intensity.
The sixth reminded him that he was pushing too hard. Deku ignored him.
Purple fog choked the air as Manticore gave a roar of laughter.
“Trying to hide, little rodent?”
A stab. Deku dodged with a grunt as a scorpion tail whipped out at his face, and a blustery gale cleared the fog with one mighty wing beat. The villain grinned at him. Lightning lit the contours of his face.
Manticore, one of the convicts released from Tartarus. Brought in by a team of heroes a few years ago.
His name was Akuma Bushida, his quirk was the same as his nickname, with manticore-like abilities. This included the strength of a lion, the speed and venomous tail of a scorpion, and powerful dragon wings.
How did he get this way….?
No.
What information did he have on Shigaraki and All For One. He felt weak, his body drained without rest. His vision blurred, he shook his head vigorously. Heavy Black Whip threads lashed out between two buildings.
Deku called on Fa Jin to combine for a slingshot kick. He strained the black strands, pumping his legs. Fa Jin 25%. One For All 45%.
Thirty feet. Release. He couldn’t feel his legs. FOCUS.
The villain charged.
Angle shift. Fifteen feet.
Perfect.
“Where.”
Deku shot past Manticore, dodging the hand reaching for his face, and gripping the scorpion tail.
“Is.”
Gathering all his strength, Deku flung Manticore hard into the nearest building with a roar.
“ALL FOR ONE,” He snarled, rocketing after the villain as the building crumbled.
Rubble exploded with the fall of the structure, clouds of debris quickly dissipated in the rain. Already panting, staggering in the air, Deku recalled any information he had on the villain.
He was defeated after being trapped and heavily tranquilized, taken down by two top notch heroes. Other weaknesses… Deku noticed his left wing slightly lagged. A past injury? He was obviously a reckless fighter. Using his size against him would work. Watch for his venom. Easy.
Manticore burst from the remains of the building with a roar, stretching his wings to their full span and with one stroke blasting into the air. His trajectory changed, his eyes calculating. He had a plan.
Deku didn’t give him time to execute it, he dove forward, One For All 50%, his legs shivered with power. Thunder roared above.
With a war cry, Deku drove his leg towards the villain’s wing. A stab. He couldn't dodge. Something paralyzed his movements.
What??
He was suspended in air, and Manticore barrelled into him, driving Deku to the concrete below. His mask was flung off. The stink of the villain’s breath enveloped him before they hit the street far below. Deku felt something in his torso shatter, and blood erupted from his lips. His head throbbed and his vision swam. Deku’s eyes rolled in their sockets, and he fought to stay conscious. He trembled with exhaustion. Move. Please move.
He couldn’t. The other users became more clear, trying to rouse him as he slipped away.
Manticore was saying something, but his voice was far away. A new face appeared, blurry features coming to focus. Rain pelted Deku’s face.
“All For One wants him alive, you bumbling oaf,” the muffled voice of the newcomer growled.
She looked like…. An insect? A bee or wasp perhaps.
Mrs. Sting… Another escapee. Delicate wings covered by a cloak, and needle-like stingers in her wrists. They could be shot like bullets from her skin… She picked their poison.
Static began to fill his vision, and Deku began to struggle against Manticore’s grip in vain. His strength was spent. He tried to reach out with Black Whip, but the strands were limp slugs that shivered at his commands.
“He can still move after being stung?” Mrs. Sting said with astonishment, “that's impossible!”
It was getting hard to breathe, Deku wheezing with every breath.
“Let’s go,” Manticore smirked as he picked up Deku by the arm. Tears prickled in Deku’s eyes and he cried out in pain as his chest flared with pain
Don't pass out. DON’T PASS OUT.
His heart fell.
The reality of the situation.
UA…. Ochaco…. Iida…. Kacchan….
What had he done? How could he have pushed them all away??
Mrs. Sting shot another needle stinger into his veins.
Tears mixed with rain as he slipped into unconsciousness.
He failed.
Yeah Izuku would've no doubt been captured if he'd kept on with his vigilantism.
I hope I give his character good justice in the way he reacted to the situations, I tried to make sure I didn't write a whole novel haha
Thanks for reading!
This song is the perfect representation of a hero's personal struggle to save everyone at the cost of themselves. It's heroic and sad all at the same time.
Did anyone else well up with tears from this because it reminded you of everything that Deku and Class 1-A went through??
Just love how this hits the vibe of Deku during this arc. Another masterpiece!
This song is drenched in just raw gritty emotion! Pure fortitude and unyielding courage I love it!
You did Deku justice with this track. So much growth since your Pride song about him. 🔥🔥
Awesome. You can hear the defiance in the song. Deku's will to fight back. His desire simply going beyond being a hero. Now, he doesn't have to fight alone.
After a single Listen every word of the chorus is indented into my mind like a hammer on an anvil and it’s incredible!
Thank you for the beautiful music divide
I’ve never seen another artist who knows the power of words like this !
The lyrics really match to what was happening in season 6 of the series Boku No Hero Academia. And the part of "Voices I know, they tell me I should come home" is really touching, the "voices I know" relates to Deku's classmates and he knows them bc why not and "they tell me I should come home" relates to his classmates trying to get him back into UA and tell him the reasons why they're his friends.
As an enormous fan of BNHA, I can say that this song is really good as in a 100% accurate if you relate the lyrics to season 6 of the series.
gotta say, I LOVE the nod to your previous Deku song, "Pride" at the end of this, it really brings the whole thing together.
This is gorgeous, bud. Always need these kind of songs to pick me up when times get rough to remind myself that you can be broken and yet still push through to be your own hero. Much love!
This man is better than charting artists, and the fact this man isn’t signed BOTHERS ME. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SIGN THIS MAN NOW!!!!! Am I right?
The Obito one was my number 1 but this is beyond PLUS ULTRA ❤❤ 🤯🤯
oh my god- this song just hit so hard for me, amazing job and the fact that it made me think of an entire story to write just made it all the better
This is literally the best music video I've seen, and I've seen a lot. The song really fits this arc really well, and the video portrayed exactly what Midoriya's facing at that time.
Yes! Yes! New favorite song! ❤❤🔥🔥 will be listening to this on repeat
Shame i can only click the like button once
I agree
So true
Unless you have an alt account.
Just make multiple accounts
Unlike and like again
I cried when I listened to this song for the first time on Spotify. It represented me, in a certain part. This song for me is magic, awesome and perfect. Well done!
The way Divide combines and mixes instruments and every other sound in a song is just S-TIER. 💥
I just love the fact that you can listen to the song in any of the 6 seasons and it still fits midoriya
This song really captures the essence of deku during this arc, the feeling of burden and pain whilst also looking for the future. (wished the arc lasted a few more episodes and a few more chapters tbh.)
Amazing job as always.
Deku deserved so much better. His life, his responsibilities...it's just too much. He's only fifteen or sixteen. All of class 1A needs therapy but especially Deku.
Deku went through alot during this arc.. this and Fabvl's ''lost'' describes his feelings perfectly. Keep up the good work my man.
You really knocked it out of the park again, Divide.
This is another banger that had me crying cause this Arc for Deku was honestly sad to watch, but you freaking delivered the feels. This easily surpassed Pride in scale and emotional songwriting, hands down
I cant decide if Pride, To the End or Drag Me Under is your greatest masterpiece....
1 am and Divide is once again ruining my sleep schedule by at least 10 minutes. Because I KNOW I'm not listening to this only once before I sleep.
This just goes to show just how far deku has come
I'm so happy I've found this song, I was going through a hard time recently and this helped me a lot.
Thanks a lot for making this song Divide.
This song made me BAWL MY EYES OUT. beautiful, thank you.
3:19 many people dont know this hut if slow the video down at this part youll see the words smash For a quick moment When deku hits muscular
This one hit me different... had me in tears by the second minute. "Everything I've Left Behind, What I paid to make this right..." absolutely incredible Divide. So amazing and emotional and powerful. Love it so much.
This was absolutely incredible, Divide the song really goes into the burden vigilante deku went through
never watched MHA. I don't know what deku is going through in this arc, but I don't need to. this goes beyond just MHA, this song applies to everyone. Divide, you never miss and never will. You are number 1.
This song and music video is a perfect embodiment of this arc and what vigilante deku represented as a character and as a whole for where the story of mha is going. As someone who has found comfort in deku since the beginning and to see where he is now is something that resonates heavy within myself. I thank you Divide for putting your voice and talent towards this song because this song is so emotional and powerful. I love all your music but this one made me weep and yet and the same time filled me with hope. Love ya 💕💕💕
That "You must be out of your mind" hits sooooo good. Definetly listening to this in the gym!
Dont even like mha that much but knew divide will kill it and was waiting and sure enough he delivered. The chorus literally gave me goosebumps
Top Tier
really got me with the reverse in the middle
Throughout this anime there's countless things that could turn a lesser man into a completely evil villain yet he keeps fightin. "i won't compromise" fits him perfectly
Bro. Does this dude have a ceiling??? 2023 has been constant HUGE leaps of improvement and this is evidence of jt man
WHEN WILL THE PEAK END?!?!
Ok, wtf dude.
This is a masterpiece.
Thank you for gifting us with this you legends.
A year ago this song came out, and after listening to this song a lot on Spotify, I just had to come back for the actual video. It's still just as good as when it came out. Probably my favourite MHA nerdcore song I have ever heard, and will probably ever hear.
It must've been a burden protecting all the people he cares from Shigaraki and AFO. You delivered this amazingly! Great job Divide!
this one was clean
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG. You've made a masterpiece. ❤❤😍
The dark deku arc is my favorite arc in all the series. I love deku's character development and it's just so tragic how he felt like he had to be a martyr to protect their already broken world. He did everything he could to fix it until he collapsed. I'm so glad that his classmates were able to pull him out of the darkness. They can face it together instead.
This is easily in my top three songs by Divide!! It may actually become my number one!!!
I've been waiting for this! It goes so hard, man! It's no wonder you said everything fell into place and that you were so happy with it. Rightfully so!
