Hey guys is me or this opening reminds me of Falcon and the winter soldier

[@sensei2187]

This is real good but is this the real lyrics?

[@hans9719]

@@sensei2187 they had their own spin on the lyrics, in the original video, the English lyrics were much different.

Nate just nails every MHA cover, his voice fits this genre of music perfectly

[@kjiyere7224]

This opening sounds like it’s gonna be heavily nostalgic in the future.

[@alwaysanewinterest]

The song, maybe, but the visuals are way too underwhelming

[@meandmyinsanity]

@@alwaysanewinterest To be fair... (manga spoilers below) This is the last "happy" arc in MHA (at least so far), cause its MVA then the War Arc in S6 - I'm ok with a slice of life type opening for now haha

[@DialRforRad]

@@meandmyinsanity war arc is prob s7

[@meandmyinsanity]

@@DialRforRad more spoilers i guess Nah not a chance. This arc was only 24 chapters, and MVA is only 23. The Endeavor Agency arc is even shorter, with 12 chapters. That's only 59 overall. Even with it being a little rushed in the Shie Hassaikai arc, S4 was 72 chapters overall. The Paranormal Liberation arc (i.e. the arc the war takes place in) is 54 chapters, meaning it'll be all of Season 6. That leaves S7 for the current arc (which may actually be the last if the story keeps heading in this direction).

[@Defektyd]

My heart’s excited And I can’t deny it There’s no stopping me Not this time Not again Been watching And waiting For answers I need But this world Leaves me wondering My journey And questions Are never ending I wanna know for sure How I’m supposed to live life I take off My armor To face a new day The wind howls And I hear it say That armor Is only A shell hiding you away You gotta open up to fly And I’m rising up to No. 1 now I better see you open up the sky Cause I need a scenery I’ve never seen from Here up so high My heart’s excited And I can’t deny it There’s no stopping me Not this time Not again My heart keeps beating out my chest My soul’s on fire deep within Excuses I’m making To live through this world I get by But what is that worth?

Cause I’ll be right by your side We’ll never die It’s us till the end Your heart’s excited No don’t you deny it There’s no stopping you Not this time Not again My heart keeps beating out my chest My soul’s on fire deep within

I've just finished my exams, and this song really relates to me. I've been through a 5 year journey and this song really conveys how I'm feeling. I feel like the world can't stop me, I'm becoming more confident and in starting to not care about what others say to me or about me. It's great, and this song helps to remind that to me. Thank you nate. This is an amazing cover.

I think that the best part about this OP in particular is that it doesn't have any lyrics about crying or tears, showing that Deku is maturing and becoming more 'hero-like,' and that he's able to be stronger now than he was before

[@nearn8517]

Not to be THAT GUY, but the translated lyrics have the following: "Koboshite kita namida to ashiato wo tadotte koko e". "Following the tears and footprints that spilled, he is here ". (Rough translation) I mention it, because he's maturing, but still Deku - our loveable crybaby.

[@newalbacore8352]

I know a lot of people don’t like this opening as much, but I honestly think it’s my favorite, only behind peace sign now. I love this song, it’s how my ex made me feel when I was with her…I miss her still even now years later…no one I’ve met has made me feel quite that way again…however I met someone a few months ago who I’m starting to think may change my life in that way again, we will just have to see, my hearts excited and I can’t deny it

[@Aaronatorr]

Nate has this power where he can make any My Hero song better than the official versions and I love it

[@btncspiffyfox1122]

I like how Nate keeps the lyrics from the song but changes the lyrics enough to match the original songs singing

[@BlueBirrds]

i think i can speak for everyone who was waiting for this that it did not disappoint

[@deltawarrior485]

I already thought that literally NOTHING could beat the original full version, but this is pure FIRE! I met you thanks to the Sonic Symphony, I was already obsessed with this channel thanks to your Sonic covers, but since I started liking MHA more and more, I got even MORE obsessed with these covers! Keep making banger covers!

[@Punjabi_MC]

All of Nate’s covers are elite

[@bren5314]

I’d like to think that in the final chorus, when the “me” changes to “you” refers to the fact that even when deku becomes #1, he’ll still probably try to team up with bakugo, and might want to “share” the #1 spot with him, considering it’s his dream too

[@bren5314]

bakugo would be pissed that he’d have to share it with him but I’d still see it lmao

[@stickstudio]

Hmm, that’s an interesting thought. Whatever the case is, I was really happy with that last chorus, though. As much as I like the song, it comes across as kind of self-centered, but the final chorus brings out the beauty of the song, as if the singer was able to overcome his walls, and is now able to inspire others to do the same. It’s a apt representation of Deku’s character, and good reminder of the type of person I want to be as well.
