Bnha Manga Panels - Tumblr Posts

Replying to this made me realize how many closeup panels BNHA has 💀

Anyway, these are my favourite ones:

I wanna know what everyone’s favourite non-closeup mha panels are!

I love this manga omg. The amount of social commentary in it is amazing.

Someone has probably said this already, but I also love the parallels in their origin story here.

Mini word vomit up ahead

Both Dabi and Toga did not get the love and support they needed to reconcile an inner conflict, highlighted through their quirks. Where Dabi’s inner conflict of Touya v. Dabi is portrayed and highlighted through his physical body, Toga’s inner conflict of instinct v. society is demonstrated in contradiction between her actions and thoughts.

Second page panel 2 (Dabi headshot) is so similar to the very first photo of Touya we know (the one kid photo that’s put on a makeshift alter in the todoroki household). And he’s smiling but he’s cracking. Ngl it was probably for aesthetics, but for the sake argument, isn’t it also funny how it’s not cracked in half, but in the mirrored way of Shoto’s scar? The separation of his identity and the inability to reconcile the two sides of his quirk, which actually brings a nice parallel between him and Shoto too. (or even just consider their quirks in general like, despite the fact that Shoto’s quirk is the one is literally split half and half, Touya’s the one that’s splitting him from the inside. It’s an invisible thing that’s gets ignored, much like,,,, everything else about Touya tbh.

And do I even need to mention how Toga looks like she’s letting go of a bird? Like there are so many things the bird could represent (typically like freedom/ new beginnings/ hope/ etc), and in this case it links back to Toga’s very first ‘murder’ for her quirk (the infamous blood sucking scene). BUT ALSO, notice how the third panel might also be paralleling her origin story? I might be overanalysing, but there’s a very similar panel of her looking up at her parents, pulling at her chest as she cries about needing to suppress the nature of her quirk. And like, she’s happy and not as tense now, y’know? I’m not even a hardcore Toga fan, but this panel made me so soft for her.

So why is it that Dabi ends up burning but Toga doesn’t? My theory is that he’s unable to let go because of the total rejection of Touya. (Wherein the separation is much more extreme). Even with Endeavor accepting Dabi, it’s as op said, too little too late. I’ve come across another analysis that mentioned this with a specific focus on the ongoing theme of trust. As in there is a pattern where a villain is only saved if they get the complete trust of another hero and that point has still yet to come for Dabi. (I’ll see if I can find the link to that post)

In conclusion, be a nice person. Reach out to people who look like they need help. Or even just love and be supportive of kids, especially. Help them with the thing that’s completely outside of their control instead of ostracising them.

Thanks for coming to me Tedtalk lmao

losing my mind a little. also big fan of the “thank you family/young heroes that’s nice and all but the world should’ve been nice to me ages ago for it to mean enough” theme going on

Atta boy

we know what you are kirishima…

What do you mean by "you are crying"? B*tch, those are the embers of OFA😭

Either Bakugo or Midoriya winning the popularity polls is a win-win for me, to be honest... 😅

I'm loving the fact that they are both in 1st and 2nd place, competing with each other to be number 1, just like they wanted...

It's very poetic if you think about it 😌
