Anyone Else Think That Mr. Compress Would Be A Better Fit Villain For Uraraka Than Toga?From What We

Anyone else think that Mr. Compress would be a better fit villain for Uraraka than Toga? From what we know he is the great-great-grandson of the peerless thief that stole money from wealthy pro heroes and gave it to civilians and that Atsuhiro himself follows his path of exposing the corruption and injustice of the pro heroes. By the way Oji Harima is still considered one of the worst crimials even though the guy is literally the Robin Hood of BNHA.

- Used to be a magician who was barely scraping along. Is what HK said about Mr. Compress’s past, that is so far (bnha 315) all we have of his past.

And considering his theatrical ways you’d think he was a good magician. 

My guess here would be that he wasn’t allowed to use his quirk (who he definitly has full control over, so no need to persume he’d be a threat to accidentally injure someone) so he was stuck doing card tricks we have in our world or something similar. That lead to him seeing pro heroes getting money for using their quirks, despite doing actual damage even (I mean Mount Lady in a big city, really?), while he had to find ways to live a basic live, because he wasn’t allowed to use his quirk for magic tricks to make a living. Which lead to him persuing his great-great-grandfathers ways of taking money, just more in a Jesse James way of stealing from the rich, but keeping for himself.

Which leads me back to Uraraka.

Her driving focus of becoming a pro hero is to help her family financially, to the point where she skips meals to save money. While her want to become a hero was already there for other reasons, this is her motivation: to keep her family financially secure, because pro heroes make good money.

Besides the fact that Uraraka’s backstory is an early sign of flaws within the hero society it would make her be a perfect antagonist for Atsuhiro Sako, who’s literal lineage is: pro heroes make too much money, while civilians are too poor to live.

On the other hand someone who has control issues with his quirks that lead to others being endangered like Tokoyami would be a better fit for Toga (also Hawks killed Twice, Tokoyami is Hawks student, would make for some amazing conflict).

This is really, really  good on a psychological take.

It is extremly common for abuse victims to:

1. still love their abusers, especially if they are blood related. Because of social expectencies children are often told to love their parents no matter what and they pick up on that, so even abused children often have love for their parents, that in no way deserve it. Besides the biological basis that babies need other humans or they die, and then bond to these humans. And little moments that give them hope that their parents love them back, tends to solitify that. And those little moments together with the abusive upbringing also leads to the believe that the abuse is justified (of course it’s not) and sometimes that can lead to overlap with the way they view other abuse victims. So Enji abusing Toya through training, still gave Toya feelings of love, because he interpreted that as love from his father, and wanted more of that training and repectively more love from him.

Wheras Fuyumi and Natuso don’t seem to realize they were abused as well, because they were mostly “just neglected”, unlike their brothers. Shoto only speaks about what Enji did to Rei, not himself either.

Dabi is the only sibling who outright told their father that he is to blame for the abuse their family suffered, no one else.

Big difference between Hakws and Best Jeanist, who are looking elsewhere for the culprit. And Enji trying to shift the blame onto his own abuse victims.

Keigo on the other probably interepreted the Endevour doll as a sign of love from his mother, leading to his idelazation for Endevour, without ever knowing him.

2. go back to similar abusers. You brain has a tendecy to go back to what it knows, even if that is a bad thing and that is extremly hard to overcome. And children who were abused have a high tendecy to not realize that they were abused (Fuymi, Natuso, Shoto are all examples of that) until they are adults, somtimes even way later in live. Mind you Keigo is only 23 and he has been in an unhealthy enviroment since he was born, he just swapped his parents for the hero commission.

Wich Endevour it is of course different. Because Hawks new Endevour the pro hero, but not Enji the father. So his idolization came as a child, meaning Hawks saw Endevour as you said: as am idol father figure, a hero come to rescue, but not the real person behind that idol.

And now that he hears about the real Enji two things happen: first of all, the human brain does not like contridicting information and Enji being a horrible abusive parent for over 20 years is extremly against the picture Hawks has of him. And second: this is as you said something Hawks probably wanted from his father: a change, to become a good parent and have the happy family he wanted.So he jumps to devend Enji as a person. Even though as a parent both Enji and Hawk’s father were horrible and neither of their sons was at fault for this.

I'm going to say a thing that can be seemed... a bit (read: very) controversial by some people. But. Do you think... that maybe. Just perhaps. Keigo, somewhere deep inside, hoped that his own abusive father will 'change'? (I mean, he clearly has some weird views concerning his parents, just remember how he apologised to his mother, even though she absolutely did NOT deserve any apologies) But, well, he didn't. And later he was caught by Endeavor, whom Keigo began to look up to and eventually came to see him as a father figure of sorts. But... now that he knows that Endeavor was also an abusive father himself, but who has 'changed', do you think that maybe that's why Hawks now supports him even more and refuses to critique him? Because now he's literally a dream-version of his own father? Or am I reaching too much into it? upd.: This also might be the reason he doubts Dabi's words so hard and can't see that 'the reason for Dabi's hatred' is standing right next to him. I feel like Hawks believes to some extent that it was his own fault his parents abused him (he's wrong, of course) and he was just a bad son, so admitting that Dabi's creation was entirely Endeavor's fault would mean for Hawks to accept that no, his parents didn't abused and neglected him because he did something wrong and deserved it, they abused and neglected him just because they were pieces of shit and he shouldn't be excusing them.

Spinner time travel quirk headcanons

For @whoatimetravel-main  whose answer to this post from @oldphone-whodis  my tumblr forgot to tell me and I saw by sheer luck.

 So thing is I have like a lot of different headcanons for different time travel versions, but all have in common that Spinner is not letting it happen again the same way, especially the death of Twice and Magne (even though they weren’t close).

And Spinner still wants to destroy hero society and be with his friends and wants them to succeed. Especially Tomura. And of course he does not want AFO to take over Tomura.

 Version 1: only Spinner gets time travel powers and it’s pretty much the original post base (some variations would be a little earlier, so Spinner can stop some other stuff from happening, but all versions where the League consists of already wanted criminals start this way.

Basically: Spinner can go two different ways, either he tells them, hopes they buy into it by using knowledge he should not have or he does not tell them and instead just tries to play it saver by reducing the damage the league gets, aka Twice and Magne alive, Compress keeps his arm etc.

While I do find the he tells them and convinces them interesting and a lot of fun it does lead to major changes in the story if the League can just ask Spinner: how did this go, he tells them, they do it differently and hope for the best.

But Spinner is the kind of guy who probably played enough games where one decision can change the entire outcome of the game, so he’d know that this could lead to way worse consequences.

So I think he’d play it safe and go with sticking to what he knows and only making sure his friends survive.

Especially because Tomura pre AFO imprisonment would still be under AFOs influence and saying something against AFO could lead to Spinner’s death, so while I think Twice and Toga would be on board right away with time travel person, Giran, Compress and Dabi could be persuaded through logic arguments, Tomura is the biggest issue to convince here, so Spinner would probably go and play it safe.

Even though I’d love the comedy of Spinner trying to get everyone to believe him. And I can see Spinner telling Dabi, Compress even Giran the truth, he’d probably be safe for them to keep the secret, the chances of Twice or Toga finding out and being distrustful (more so Toga, than Twice, I think he’d understand why such curtail information wouldn’t be given to him) are too high. And of course Dabi is a bit of a wild card in regards to his own goals.

So Spinner plays it safe: he doesn’t tell anyone and just tries to change things a little bit. The Forrest Training Camp and the Hideout ark stay the same (I know OP likes Mustard, and it’s really screwed up that this middle schooler villain just vanishes, but I just have to little knowledge about him to include him and I’d say unless that changes (bnha stand chapter 314) neither does Spinner, so he probably would let the 3 M get arrested.

And he’d definitely let AFO get imprisoned, so that Tomura is finally free of him.

He goes with them to the Overhaul meeting and stops Magne (and therefore Compress) to attack Overhaul, saving them. But he was still an ass, so the Overhaul ark remains relatively the same.  

So the next ark with big problems for the League would be the Meta Liberation Army which is where I am a bit torn like Spinner probably would be. Should Giran and Tomura get to keep their fingers? Issue being: if this goes down differently the outcome could be catastrophic for everyone. Tomura needs to win against Re-Destro (and unlock his childhood trauma) and so do Twice and Toga need their power up. So I’d guess that Spinner would let it slide because getting involved could mean a way worse outcome than 7 lost fingers.

Which leads to the currently biggest problem Spinner will have to face: the fight against the pro heroes and Twice death and maybe getting Tomura to not get surgery so that AFO can’t take over.

I’d say this would be a huge moment of Spinner going: this is the point where he’ll have to overdo everything because the outcome is too bad. Current standpoint: Toga missing, Compress arrested and in bad health, Maschia arrested, Twice dead, Tomura’s body got taken over by AFO, their forces lost.

So this would for me be the point where he decides to change everything he can to not let that happen, because saving that point seems useless for this outcome.

My personal favorite would be to get Twice to clone EVERYONE form the PLF and have them at the hideout but actually relocate everyone elsewhere so that the heroes are busy fighting the clones (we saw what the Re-Destro clone alone did). He would hate to find a way to hide this information from Twice as long as possible, until the last moment Hawks is around, then be fast of cloning everyone.

I’d say Spinner made himself a questlog for this, a to-do-list if you will, so in order to finish this mission he has to do the following:

Gets Hawks not to find out about the clones until it’s too late. Get the League into safety. Make sure Twice is as far away as possible from Hawks. Kill Best Jeanist probably, I mean he is just lying around in a bag in the corner right now. Get Tomura to not get into that tank. But have AFO believe that he does? Last thing would definitely be the hardest part but also might be the moment where he tells Tomura that time travel was involved, because by now they are actually friends and Tomura was out of AFO grasp for a while.

And of course to still stick close to the raid and the heroes getting Ujiko to knock him out and keep the heroes busy while the League gets out of there he’d need something to put into that tank. Twice clones would not be able to hold it up obviously, maybe Sceptic’s can?

Or Spinner forgoes the whole thing and just tells Tomura and the League just blows the hospital up themselves before getting to Tartarus to kill AFO before anything worse happens.

This is the moment for me where I go in like 50 different directions of what could happen.

Spinner could tell everyone about the future he stopped. Spinner could have everyone be complelty elsewhere and them just watching the heroes loose their shit because everyone is a clone.

The PLF having survived could go full on war against the heroes, which would probably not end well either.

Spinner might tell Dabi that he knows who he is and wants to help take down Endevour and they could make it bigger than what actually happened. I am sure Compress would help putting up a show and Toga and Tomura would be on board of: shitty father deserves to go down.

There are so many possibilities for this.

Other than that and other Version of Time Travel would be either completely different times, picturing baby Spinner trying to get to baby Tomura before he kills his family or stopping Dabi from burning himself, teenager Spinner straight up getting the gang together early, kidnapping Toga before she snaps and showing up at the bar with Kurogiri letting them stay (Oboro liked strays too), maybe it’s a groundhog day situation of the day of the raid and he has to figure out how to save Twice from Hawks and Tomura from AFO.

And then there are the versions of Time Travel where it’s not only Spinner but other people get it too.

Like every one of the League getting time traveled and now there have some meeting before everything goes down just sitting there like: now what? And Toga not stopping to hug Twice. Maybe ever person I currently see joining as a major player in the finale battle against AFO getting time traveled and they have to figure out how to not let that happen, with Shoto going all out trying to find his brother and talk to him, Uraraka reaching out to Toga and Deku knowing he has to save Tomura but not knowing how to in this timeline.

My personal favorite: Spinner and Bakugo being the only people who time travel and they have to work together to stop this whole mess and the whole thing just being an entire comedy because they keep in check with each other, planning out who does what like: If you take down Overhaul, we’ll take down the Doctor and his Nomus – We’ll have to wait until Daku wins this fight and unlocks this power otherwise it won’t work, -I forgot Toga can’t use quirks yet. Like the worst version of a buddy comedy you can think of.

12 central traits of heroism featuring My Villain Academia

Psychologists have also identified the traits of heroes. Elaine Kinsella and her colleagues have identified 12 central traits of heroism, which consist of:

brave,

[Bravery is the ability to confront something painful or difficult or dangerous without any fear. It’s a quality, not a state of mind; it doesn’t need a cause to awaken it. Someone is brave—full stop.]

moral integrity,

[Integrity is the practice of being honest and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values.In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions.]

conviction,

[conviction (kənvɪkʃən ) Word forms: plural convictions 1. countable noun [usu N that] A conviction is a strong belief or opinion. ]

courageous,

[Courage, on the other hand, is the ability to confront something painful or difficult or dangerous despite any fear. It’s not a quality, but a choice; a person feels the fear or pain or danger, but chooses to persevere anyway. Unlike bravery, courage is driven by a cause; the courageous person believes that cause is worth standing up and fighting for, despite all the clear reasons not to. It takes a great effort, because what’s on the other end merits it. ]

self-sacrifice,

[sacrifice of oneself or one's interest for others or for a cause or ideal]

protecting,

[to keep someone or something safe from injury, damage, or loss]

honest,

[ To be honest (= To tell the truth) ]

selfless,

[ concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own; unselfish. ]

determined,

[ showing the strong desire to follow a particular plan of action ]

saves others,

[1: to stop (someone) from dying or being killed : to rescue (someone) who is in terrible danger 2.informal : to help (someone) in an important way —often used to thank someone for his or her help]

                                                                                                                                                                                            inspiring,

[inspiring(Adjective) Providing inspiration; encouraging; stimulating.]

and helpful.

[adjective giving or rendering aid or assistance; of service]

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

I am as I said still waiting out with what he does now, but the framing of Twice death really put him in an Icarus framing, someone flying too high and ending up dead. (Also works really well with Dabi burning his wings.)

It is psychologically extremely interesting that he still sees Twice as a friend, even though they never were friends. He used Twice to get information and started his first killing hit once Twice didn’t want to be saved the way Hawks wanted him to and he did that by using Twice mental instability. That is the opposite of saving someone, that is abusing someone. (Of course Hawks had good reasoning but it doesn’t make the practice he used any better, which Hawks as you said does realize.)

And what he does with this underlying part of: I want to be free, I want to help my friends now that the commission isn’t up and running I actually have a choice is going to be very telling.

On the other hand he (and Best Jeanist) obviously only see what they think is right without questioning the reasoning of the LoV, seen though Dabi because it doesn’t align with their world view that they (especially Hawks) were born into.

This non-understanding of Dabi (why did he do this? We don’t understand, even though Dabi made a whole essay about it and Endevour confessed) and non-understanding of Twice (still calling him his friend, thinking Twice would betray his actual friends) would need to go away for him to get on a path of light.

But his treatment in the hospital room with Shoto was so off for me, so nonchalantly asking if Endevour burned Shoto’s face, as if he hadn’t made it clear that he was going to be on Endevour’s side either way really shows that Hawks needs to change a lot to see other things than his previously established opinions.

Hawks would definitely need to see Endevour as an abuser to really learn. Endevour is his focus point when it comes to heroes, which makes perfect sense given his backstory, but him putting Endevour on a pedestal is what is wrong with the whole hero society. They become symbols and signs and aren’t seen as people anymore, so they can’t do any wrong. And Endevour even confirmed Dabi’s story, so the next step for Hawks in a healthy way would be to acknowledge this dark side of Endevour instead of pushing it under the rug of: he wants to change, that is everything I need to know. Because it isn’t everything, if it was there would be no situation where Dabi can cause huge destruction to hero society with a video.

Which is why I am going to wait for a final judgement with what Hawks does next. It is rather critical for his character.

If he remains with his established opinions that led him to justifying the murder of Twice and being ride-or-die for Endevour no matter what Endevour did he’s part of the faulty society that needs to be changed by the end of the series.

But if he sees his own and Edevour’s faults he has room to grow and be a better person. Not be Icarus but rather turn around and fly back to earth before it is too late. That would mean he had a place in the new world after society is destroyed.

Of course because of his past he has a really hard time of letting go what the commission trained him to be, this established coding he has and I hope though Lady Nagant we’ll see more of those issues which could for example lead though Deku asking questions and we’d get a sign of what way Hawks storyline will go aswell.

In any version I can see Hawks want to fly free ending with him not having his wings anymore. Because Symbolism is cool and it works really well if you wings growing out of your back.

I just thought of Digimon Season 3 (my favorite, so sad though) and if you haven’t seen it here are heavy spoilers (and also it’s amazing, go watch it) the character Belzemon has a redemption ark during which he absorbs the Leomon of one of the children (and in season 3 Digimon they actually died) said child got captured and after Belzemon redeemed himself he used Leomon’s signature attack to break her free. And I could see a Toga/Hawks dynamic with this as a way to go. Fulfilling Twice wish for Toga to be save, something a hero would want: a little ill girl saved from the people who came to hurt her by a hero, as Twice did to Toga twice. But that is utter fan speculation with no actual basis; I just think that would be cool.

In general I don’t think there is a way this series ends without a compromise between the different side just because both do have their points that are important, but the general society that will come is said compromise. The hero’s aren’t wrong with wanting the lived of people save and the villains aren’t wrong with their want to change society and both sides definitely aren’t wrong with the want to use your quirk that is literally your body.

But how exactly is going to take a bit more time to unpack, also because there are some things we don’t have enough in-universe knowledge about yet., let alone Deku.

(Lady Nagant rat’s out hero issues to Deku please!)

I mean, I’d like a Endevour in prison ending, but I also doubt it. I can see him going for a self-sacrifice, which I hope doesn’t happen because then he looks too heroic again to save his kids and I doubt that it would help Dabi and this series is very much about helping and saving people.

For a time I had the notion that Best Jeanist and Twice were down to kill Dabi and Endevour would end up going against them, which I can still to some degree see, but that was mostly based on Twice death (“to prevent damage”) and Best Jeanist strangling Spinner (and Tomura, but I can’t blame him for that, they were literally in the middle of a crater that used to be a town) and has mellowed out more as the chapters went on, very much due to me not knowing shit about Best Jeanist’s thoughts on killing.

In order for the Todoroki’s to really cut ties with Endevour on their accord they’d also need to realize how much they were abused. They agree that Toya was abused, but Shoto and Natuso both definitely don’t see that they were abused aswell. And that again would be a long way to get there from the point the story is.

But I keep wishing for now with the information I have that Endevour will end up in prison and Hawks to land on his ass and really come to term with what he did to Twice and both to learn their lesson completly.

But on any instance that is a long way to go.

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.
