MHA 414: What Izukus And Tomuras Memories Mean

MHA 414: What Izuku’s and Tomura’s Memories Mean…

As the connection between All For One and One For All become stronger (a consequence of the current plan to transfer the vestiges) Izuku’s and Tomura’s memories are beginning to blend together. And each of the memories shown are equally as important as each other.

Izuku’s first memory being his fight with Shouto at the Sports Festival is especially important, because it foreshadows what Izuku will have to do in order to save Tomura…

His fight with Shouto during the Sports Festival was the first time that Izuku was able to save someone.

Not saving someone physically, but being able to save their heart.

Izuku will have to save Tomura both physically and emotionally in order to truly save him. His first memory from his subconscious being of him saving Shouto explicitly shows that.

Izuku won’t be able to save Tomura’s heart through violent means.

Tomura’s first memories shown are also important, as it foreshadows what will eventually allow Tomura to let himself accept Izuku’s help. Each memory are of significant moments that he had with the league, all of them being moments that had a lasting impression on him.

His first time meeting Dabi and Himiko, who were the first people from the outside (people who weren’t directly under All For One’s influence) that he accepted into the league.

His memory of Spinner challenging him, and what Tomura’s goals are (Spinner seeking reassurance from Tomura)…

Tomura’s first thoughts throughout the series have consistently been of the league, and what their wants and needs are. Tomura views them as exceptions from his destruction. He wants them all to have a future where they can live how they see fit.

He wants them to be happy.

Tomura will have to accept that he cannot have both the league's happiness and the destruction of everything.

He will have to choose, but before Tomura can do that he will have to accept the true reason behind his anger, which isn’t what AFO manipulated him into thinking.

Tomura's anger (which drives his want for destruction) stems from his inability to understand how people are able to ignore the suffering of others.

Tomura isn't able to ignore it. He never has.

His inability to ignore others suffering is what made him originally want to be a hero.

Tomura doesn’t understand how people are able to turn a blind eye and go on with their lives despite seeing injustice happen right in front of them.

(How could his family ignore his suffering even though it was happening right in front of them? How could people have walked past him even when he was alone scared and covered in his family’s blood…?)

His anger also stems from a place of hurt.

Tomura copes with no one reaching out and helping him by thinking that he was being punished for killing his family. He copes with people ignoring his suffering by convincing himself that he wanted to kill his family.

(Which stems from his resentment of his family ignoring his suffering, and the sense of relief Tomura felt after killing his father, knowing that he will no longer have to be subjected to his abuse.)

Tomura thinks that his destruction is something inherent within him. That he’s inherently bad.

That he will never feel good again…

Tomura doesn’t see a future for himself where he can be happy.

Izuku will have to prove to Tomura that he isn’t any of these things, and that he does have a future where he can be happy…

Which will be what allows him to truly save Tenko.

Okay. Uh... What do you want me to type in?

Well! Um. I’m not entirely sure, and as I believe I’ve said before, I don’t quite know how Tvtropes works, but, some things that I think could be added in are:

-Papyrus is actually capable of lying straight to your face (as in the x/o puzzle he claims needs to be solved to proceed, but he could actually just step over the spikes), and you might never notice.

-Some of the mysterious things about him, such as his room being the only room that has no music, and will reset the dev-room music if you enter while it’s playing; his being the only character to consistently speak without an asterisk; some of his bones being black. Oh, and his text constantly shaking just slightly, while the only other person to do that is the narrator.

-Papyrus is in fact aware of more than he lets on, and seems to be playing up his cluelessness a lot of the time, for example, when called alone near the lab he doesn’t question what it is, instead saying that Sans would love it, but when Sans is present, he acts as if he has no idea what it is.

-He brings up things that happen further on in the game, or in a different run, several times! For instance: in the first bridge-seed room, he asks why there aren’t “phones that can turn into jetpacks”, which is what your phone becomes when Alphys modifies it; he mentions Mettaton’s “eyes” in one of the elevator rooms, which Mettaton doesn’t have yet, but does have in his EX form; he says that the king will trim a hedge in the shape of his smile, which happens in the Pacifist ending; he claims that “this is the worst possible ending” in the Pacifist ending itself, because he didn’t get into the Royal Guard, which is something that happens in a neutral ending! (and also, it’s questionable how serious he’s being about that statement in itself, since his expression is quite happy there.)

-He seems completely fine with dying in the neutral run, and jokes about it - and the expression he makes while being hit is the same as when he’s on the date/hangout; even Sans drops his grin a little when he’s killed.

-Papyrus seems to be able to see where you are, at times; he says “that bag of dog food looks familiar” when called in the lab, and a phonecall in the tutu room that seems to have been removed, had him saying “Where’d you go? I can’t see you!” before trying to pass it off by saying that he couldn’t see you because you were on the phone.

………well, that became long. I hope this can be of use! ^^;

Since I’ve written so much, I think I’ll just post this one. The strange Papyrus things can never be brought up too often! :D

Do you think the dad for one theory has a shaky evidence? Asides from the doctor and physical appearance thing, what are the other firm theories to convince that it's true.

Hisashi was mentionned once in 330 chapters in a manga where we've met Jirou's parents. Add to that how AFO's face is always shadowed.

Seriously, Izuku was hospitalized so many times and no mention of his father.

AFO ignoring Izuku in Kamino despite having Search, X-Ray quirk and the kid hiding six meters away from him behind a flimsy wall.

AFO telling All Might that he loathes him because "You took something from me!"

The only moment in the anime when AFO is raising his voice is when he calls Izuku by his full name and he keeps giving All Might shit for being a bad teacher.

Izuku getting the quirks of the past OFA users, something that never happened before.

There are about three times where AFO calls Izuku by name. Always his full name. 1. While fighting All Might. 2. In the Vestige world. 3. At the end of the war arc, where ShigarAFO was evacuated by the noumus. Every time it happens, there is virtually no one around. (He was planning to kill All Might, the Vestiges can't snitch, and neither can the noumus)

Speaking of the end of the war arc, what AFO used to push back Izuku was a love tap compared to what he could have done. And since his hand was shown bleeding immediately after, it really looks like he held back and hurt himself doing so.

Machia smelling "two masters" when Shigaraki and Izuku are fighting during the war arc.

Izuku loving quirks and his mumbling is acknowledged in-universe as creepy. AFO is shown to mumble about quirks during Kamino.

Izuku is shown to be more fragile than his classmates. Bakugou was thrown through a wall, Todoroki took a building on the neck, and so on. One could argue that Izuku's bone breaking tendencies are because OFA got ridiculously buffed during All Might's time but again, during Kamino, AFO is shown shaking his hand as if he is in pain after using the air canon that sent All Might through three buildings.

Seriously, if AFO really wanted to end the OFA line, he could have kidnapped Izuku any time between the Sport Festival and the moment when he went to the dorms. He knew who Izuku was and it would have been so easy.

There are probably more things but I am tired.

HOT TAKE but I think some parts of the fandom mistake the reason Flowey likes Papyrus SO MUCH and it’s usually due to a grave misinterpretation of both characters.

Fanon: Papyrus, Most Innocent and Naive Idiot, becomes the perfect plaything in Flowey’s eyes. Thus the Sadistic Evil Weed spent countless resets trying to break the former with advanced torture.

And it’s really out of character for me because Flowey simply isn’t sadistic for the sake of being sadistic. He started killing because he was curious. He wanted to know what happens next. There is NO WAY that curious, allergic-to-routine Flowey would find the screaming of a naive idiot entertaining. There is NO WAY that he would take any prolonged interest in someone he only sees as a naive idiot.

Here are way better things to consider: 

Flowey recognizes his similarities with Papyrus. 

Flowey is intrigued by the mysteries behind Papyrus. 

Flowey gets mad when people treat Papyrus as if he knows nothing because he’s so much smarter than they think. 

Flowey is outraged that Undyne lies to Papyrus about his prospects of becoming Royal Guard. 

Flowey is in awe of how good Papyrus is at fighting.

Flowey is in awe of how Papyrus shows strength through pacifism. Flowey respects Papyrus for staring a killer in the eyes, knowing what they’re up to and feeling afraid—and believing in them regardless.

Papyrus keeps Flowey from going off the deep end by sustaining his faith in pacifism. Papyrus fills Flowey with shame by reminding him that he’s no longer that person.

You can come to Papyrus with a body count, with the dust of his family and friends on your face, and he’d still smile at you and tell you that you’re better than you think you are.

He never changes, even when everyone else does. When everyone else stare at you in shock and fear and disbelief and call you a demon, in stark contrast with how they treat you when you wear that plastic smile and try to fix all their problems, Papyrus always calls you a friend, always wants to be your friend, always treats you as a friend.

It’s the first time you don’t find something unchanging boring.

Flowey both hates himself more and loves himself more, because of Papyrus. Flowey thinks he doesn’t deserve Papyrus, but Papyrus loves him anyway.

How’s that for a change.
