312 Is Out And Still No Raws And This Is Still Driving Me Mad.

312 is out and still no raws and this is still driving me mad.

White I wouldn’t call AFO completly one-dimensional because we know quiet little of him aside from being an evil overlord that wants to be an even bigger evil overlord and is a complete dick to his brother he is a villain more inclined with the likes of Muscular - he does what he wants, sees no wrong in that because he likes what he’d doing and he won’t be stopped by means of reasoning/saving like the League could be. He wasn’t wronged by a society that needs to change, he used it for his goals.

I do agree with your interpretation of Endevours ark going forward, he is taking steps for redeeming himself and while he definitly isn’t there yet and he still has so much to learn and self-reflect and take complete responsibility for what he did his ark does work towards that, which as you put it so well is sadly not usually something that happens in the real world.

And I love the take on the “I am Legend” (never watched, I don’t want to see the dog die, but now I have a nice summary.) version of Endevour’s self-realization that would fit his ark really well and is a healthier take on abuse than version that keep Endevour in the family. And since I am a sucker of people staying alive and living with the consequences of what they have done, I’d prefer a Enji finally takes responsibility for what he’s done without any blame-shifting and removes himself from the family by choice rather than death.

So I hope you are right because it is a very good and healthy take on this very complicated topic.

Anybody who has acess to raw scans and knowledge about Japanese to be of any help, because the translations of bnha 311 are saying very different things:

This is the first translation, where I want to point out the line about never stopping to smile and something missing in his soul are directed at AFO.

And Endevour clearly asks a question, which in japanese is indicated through a parcel, so if something is a question it should be obvious to see.

But then the other translation sais that the one with extra hatred is Shigaraki , same with the person that doesn’t stop laughing/smiling.

Which would make perfect sense to talk about Tomura because he is always smiling/ laughing, which can’t be said for AFO, the guy barely shows what is left of his face and none of them have any knowledge about AFO always laughing/smiling.

It would on the other hand make sense for AFO to have no hatred, but rather emptiness inside of him, but then the translation to laughing seems off. Wouldn’t it be rather something along the lines of laughing on the inside, thinking he is going to win no matter what (I lack the english word for what I mean right now.).

And Endevour isn’t asking a question here too, he is making a statement.

I can get behind differences like laughing/smiling or missing his soul/lack of heart, but there is a huge difference who they are talking about and Endevours statement/question about the person’s sould/heart.

Imagine if they had children.

You casually walk around and then a shot is fired, the bullet is small, so you don’t see it but then the last thing you see is a boulder right in front of your face.

And 3km away a very well dressed person is making a theatrical bow at your death.

Villains and the arm thing

Hawks to Endevour: I want you to be my dad! Toya, Natsuo & Shoto: No you don’t!

I definitly have different opinions on Hawks, but it’s mostly what his next moves are really going to determ what way he will go down for me, so I’ll wait for my final predection with him.

I am buying the part that Endevour wants to redeem himself but for the wrong reasons and with the wrong means and he still hasn’t taken credit for the pain he caused considering his on going blame-shifting during the flash-backs.

But to let go as you phrased it from especially Shoto, the dreamchild just the one he wanted to make would be definitly the biggest part of removing himself from his family.

It’s not that hard to remove yourself from people you already mostly removed yourself from, even Dabi to an extend but Shoto was the one he wanted for his goals and kept inserting himself in Shoto’s live even if Shoto didn’t want that, so letting go of his version of a family with Shoto is defintly the biggest step for Endevour.

And with Dabi it’s less a removal from his live and more a finally seeing him and importantly admitting without blame-shifting what he did (and then removing him from his live).

I mean I would love to see a point where Endevour admits to Dabi that it is only his fault and nothing else to give Toya the attention from his father he carved after being neglected but that would be a really long way to go for him. And I’d like to see Dabi’s reaction to something like this, if Endevour can still get away without legal consequences it would still not be enough for him, but to actually finally admit his fault would probably do Dabi some good.

As I said I personally prefer a alive and lives with consequences take because while they are harder to do, they also usually are more based in reality adn the moment where you can make a real change from the messy real world and make a statement.

And for Endevour to atone in a way that actually helps his family he’s one of the few people where I can see a prison sentece being a solution because in actual Japan child abuse is up to ten years. And if you do that to 4 children and your wife it’s probably not going to get less. And if any members of the Todoroki family would want contact with him they could go to him on their own accords but never his.

So while I don’t think it’s necessairly ending this way, I’love to see Endevour admitting his faults complelty to the public and getting a legal sentece for it with no he’s a pro hero so he gets a free pass (that they still might offer, systems take a while to completly change) and remove himself from their lives in way he can’t break.

Tywin: It’s so much more humane to kill a few nobles at dinner.

Any sane person thinking: You let the Mountain set the Riverlands on fire like a week ago. Also everyone is still dying because of the wedding.

when tywin justifies the red wedding by saying it was a way to win the war ‘cheaply’ but actually he unleashed a blood curse upon the land and shattered the entire chivalric paradigm. [walder frey voice] heh

When I was younger and couldn’t find any information about a celebrity I was so confused why they didn’t share information like wedding pictures or their children’s names, pictures, some even their spouses, because other celebreties did it and I found it great, especially if they were LGBTQ, because it was really inspirational to finally see people be open about it.

Now I applaud every celebrity that manages to keep their private lives private. It is their right and people write so much shit about them, take pictures of them, their partners, their underage children without consent and get sexualized so badly.

Only because people are nosy as fuck. Which is ok, you can be curious about other people’s lives, but we should in no way be entitled to being part of it.

Unless of course you are The European Court of Human Rights who declared that pictures of a civilian and a german reporters wedding can be make public and printed against their wished because he is a famous person and the world has the right to be part of their private lives. Especially the non-famous wives one.

And they call themselves a Court of Human Rights.
