I’m REALLY hoping people understand Deku isn’t just simply the best he’s ever been but much more internally broken and ripped to shreds. Because it is so important people know that an empath can’t just run on fumes like he did for months on end. Physically is hard enough, but OFA takes care of that. Emotionally it’s not possible and could strain him to death.

[@gektoast4968]

Love your analysis.

[@moulder44]

i am glad to know not everyone is tearing him down for going "Batman" like. as you put it very well, Deku really is pushing himself past breaking point. he is tired, in pain and burdened with a serious amount of stress. but his morals and ideals wont let him rest, he WANTS to save ppl, he WANTS to stop AFO and is willing to break himself to do it. he is acting so selfless but to an extent that is too extreme. he has stopped worrying about himself, and is blinded by the need to save everyone else. when we all saw little Deku, we wanted to protect his smile... but right now, that smile is wavering under the weight of the entire world.

[@sibyllynxdragneel3792]

Así es, Deku se está quebrando por dentro, no puede estar cerca de sus seres queridos por el miedo de ser atacado y no poder defenderlos porque no tiene la agilidad ni la destreza con los otros quirks para hacerle frente a ShigarakiAFO y eso que recién se está recuperando, al acercarse mucho a All Might tiene miedo que lo ataquen y ni siquiera puede descansar por estar alerta, se está asfixiando y aún es un niño... Claro esto solo en el anime, el manga ya está avanzado.

[@shanks2872]

He is still a shit protagonist and the author can eat a d*ck

[@PlusUltraMan]

Most people sadly don't like to be critical, their enjoyment of this phase of the story will come 100% from "Finally he's edgy and badass" it will go no further T_T

[@fennefoxx]

THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!! I have seen people saying they like this Deku better, but they do not understand his character well. This is the worst state he’s ever been in and it’s sad that some people only acknowledge him in this because he is not displaying his emotions. This really fits the progression of the arc… he decided the only logical course of action was to distance himself from UA and his loved ones in order to keep them safe, taking on every challenge alone. We’ve seen this pattern of behavior before but not to the level it is during this arc. All Might starts to realize that he is not such a good influence for Izuku since he encouraged him to be self-sacrificial like All Might.

[@Mr.Needle-Hamster]

Izuku Midoriya, he was a kid who always aspired to be a hero from when he was a young kid. But after learning he was quirkless, those dreams of ever standing alongside the gifted ones seemed impossible, and everyone around him believed so. But he never gave up on his dream, even if everyone told him to. It was this courage and determination that caught even the attention of the number one hero, and thus, he was chosen to become the next pillar of hope. At first, he regarded this as a blessing because now he's got friends who care about him, now he's attending his dream school, now he finally has a chance to live out his dream. But after all the dark and terrible things that have occurred in his first year alone, after the catastrophic battle that thrust all of Japan into a state of utter chaos and anarchy, that bright and cheerful hero that Deku once was had dissapered. If he was going to save his loved ones and the world from the tyranny of All for One, he needed to take matters into his own hands and distance himself from everyone and everything he cared for. But this only ate him away. Every battle he fought, every step he took, only made his state of mind worse and worse. It all came to a climax where he was thrusted into a situation where he couldn't fight back, he couldn't help the people he swore to protect, and there was nothing he could do. It seemed like the end, but then a light in the darkness appeared. The people whom he had saved and inspired had returned to pay him back and to save him from this lonely and treacherous path.

[@elkaidred0512]

You can tell this composition was inspired by the Sam Raimi's Spiderman trilogy and the orchestral percussion of AOT Final Season OST with a touch of synth to give you the electric vibe for Deku's Full Cowling. Overall, what a fantastic creation this was!

[@hi_monke]

I LOVE the hero theme near the end, it makes it THAT much better than it already was. This really illustrates his frustration, his determination, and the hardships he is experiencing during this arc. But it also shows that his drive to be a hero is still alive! And the hero theme really emphasizes that. IT'S SOOOO GOOOD!!!

"looking at him you'd never guess he was a hero"

[@RonysPlay-y1d]

I'm Brazilian and this is my favorite arc of the work because it shows a side of society and the protagonist that had not yet been approached and unfortunately it was short, but I loved it anyway. Seeing my favorite character going through moments of weakness and still not giving up helps me to keep on pursuing my goals. Whoever created this soundtrack is to be congratulated.

[@davekisman2763]

Just listening to this incredible theme, while thinking about if Dark Deku had the power of a demon, but still has the heart of a hero.

[@charlieianzo5513]

Being the greatest is a means to survive greater suffering. Being strong just means you've faced your true enemy, yourself, both in a bad and a good way.

[@bhokal86]

Insane , I am seeing deku for the first time like this , He is using his move but like before he screams for the move name and now he is saying move name in his mind rather than screaming or yelling . The boy always smiles and now look at him , I mean he is even more mature than all the pro heroes around the world and even better than all of them . But he forgot one thing that the power fighting with team is better than fighting alone

[@Cofi6IX]

3:20 Imagine the Deku scene opens. In the final battle against Shigaraky all for one, while the fight becomes close, the rays of the one for all increase their brightness, both opponents attack each other without ceasing, fallen heroes and villains from all sides, while a panel is shown. As all of Japan and the entire world is watching the young man fight on TV like in the manga, fight to protect them this is the final battle Deku Vs Shigaraky One for all vs All for one

[@johnnyshowdown5421]

[@xsolafox]

I love how the beginning sounds like "Eisoptrophobia" and "Hibernating Evil" from Ultimate Custom Night and "Venta Black" from FNAF: SL. The context of the chords and rhythm really solidifies the feeling of dread and uneasiness.

[@ivy-queenofworms]

I like how this feels like it has little samples from the season 1 villain theme with the bass and some Gran Torino theme with the light twang in some places. Feels like it belongs in the series and takes all of Deku’s influences and melds them into something unique to the character.

[@staticz_mayas1303]

The beginning of the ost still gives me shivers🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@tuperheavy7]

Congrats and thanks for this masterpiece of art, my friend. As a musician and composer I really apreciate your contribution and I thank you as this is my favourite version of Deku and also my most beloved arc in the series.

[@FreshBMW]

this song really is fitting for the villain hunt arc, effectively expressing the change in mindset deku has in this arc from working to save everyone to keep them safe to shifting to a narrow window mindset and solely focusing on taking down all for one, no matter what happens to his body, and to keep other people out of the fight to protect them, tackling this burden all on his own.

[@zengaria]

I really want that background as my laptops live wallpaper 😭😭

[@forevernever3837]

That’s the moment where I realized that Deku wasn’t a kid anymore and understood that the naive one I hate wasn’t truly here anymore.

[@postwalmartluffy]

He was never naive tho, He's always been insightful as he's walked the journey he has but it's when he tries to handle the weight of being " THE Hero " when he needs to take a lesson from his own book and become " A Hero " alongside everyone else because 1 man trying to change it all is something not even All might can do

[@JohnShepherd117]

I think you’re confusing the words naive and idealistic because Midoriya is not naive but he is definitely an idealist

Izuku Midoriya is the best character in MHA ever.
