How MHA Nails it's Realism!

Hello comrades. With My Hero Academia Season 6 half-way done, I decided to come back to this show after years of waiting and, while watching from scratch, I realized that their world and society are VERY realistic, so much so, that some of the events are almost like from a history book! From how they integrated heroes and villains, to how new industries appears to support them - everything makes sense! Like, media completely destroying UA reputation because some bad guys jumped their camp, injuring many and capturing one of the students. You can't make this stuff up, this is straight out of our own televisions and I can assure you, this is not the only similarity. Hope you find this video about MHA society interesting and informative.
Thanks' for watching. YOU ARE AWESOME!

Are there still armies in the MHA world?

Are Doctors and surgeons also veterinarians with all the animal-based quirks around the world? How would a surgery work if the victim has the quirk that makes her exhale oxygen and inhale carbon dioxide? When you consider the implications of the MHA world its a miracle that society even remotely resembles our own!

[@anonymouscausewhynot]

There’s probably different types of doctors that specialize on people with certain mutant kinds of quirks (ie we saw Midoriya go to a quirk doctor at the beginning, so maybe there’s doctors that focus on people with amphibian or reptile-like quirks like Tsuyu’s).

Sometimes, a hero's greatest enemy isn't the villain he fights, but the people he protects. I love that the villains are aware of this too and have been using it to take down the heroes easier. villains don't need super weapons or greater power than the hero to win. they just have to make them look bad and sit back as the media tares them apart. Heck, we see this happening all the time in Spiderman.

[@ragg232]

And if said people became the majority unlike in X-men.

[@eravern]

its pretty close because of the: "everyone hates people with quirks until they become the majority, then the quirkless get discriminated"

[@Mormollio]

This is what I love about MHA, recently picked it up again. One thing I like too is that people can have the most dumbass Quirks. It's not like everyone gets super speed and flying. Nope, some people just get horns or tape elbows. Some make it work, some don't. Or that having an electric quirk isn't just good for superhero stuff, you can be very valuable in an industrial setting too.

[@mahistv]

I also like it. People try to utilize their quirks in so many cool ways

[@Orsonfoe]

this is also why i like MHA you get an array of abilities that people use in some way for everyday life or being superheroes. yet they also keep in mind that their human still. their abilities need to be trained to increase their efficiency but there are limits for them and their body. like from the grape kid's head bleeding if he pulls too many off to fast or Endevor and Tortoraki being armed by the extreme temperatures from their quirks. it made making an oc more fun with extra thought to it than the usual superhero stuff. it reminds me of the book Searis Xanth by piers anthony. in the series in the land of xanth every one is bone with a magcical talent. Some have super powerful one like able to morph any one you see into anything else. greater an unlimited number of undead. some have useful one like summoning magical swords or stoping/rewinding time for some ones you see by a few sec. or you have just plain magical talent but don't really have a practical use for. like putting a colored spot on the wall, or changing th color of your urin. it a fun interesting read.

[@imjustagirlletmeliveomg]

exactly like often think how much dedication sero must have to get into the top hero academy in whole of japan with a quirk that useless and he is pretty strong too! like damnn

[@AxnerSaab]

I can also see this more realistic, when they use the heroes as a scapegoat. Oh, a super powerful hero destroyed a whole city and the heroes can't do anything about it because the person is just that strong? Blame the heroes. This is a spoiler warning, which will probably come in later episodes When Deku came back to U.A after basically getting dragged back by his classmates, after hunting villains for many weeks with barely any sleep, breaks or food, the people had basically figured out he's the person that AFO is trying to catch. He wasn't allowed at first by everyone to be able to take a break from hunting villains by the people there, and they all blame the heroes for the situation that has occurred. Not taking it into account the fact that villains are quite unpredictable, especially on a large scale. And after having relied on heroes for many years it has finally started to backfire on society, so now they're using heroes as a scapegoat to blame them to get their frustrations out. I also remember something similar happening in Black Clover. When the demon had appeared, the king of the clover kingdom had nobody to blame. So they used Asta as a scapegoat to put all charges on because of him being "connected" to demons. When there's nobody to put all blame on, they try to put the blame on one person or an organization. Which is the heroes in "My Hero Academia".

In our world Toga would probably work as a universal stunt double. I meant that would still likely end in an overdose due to the weird nature of her "fame". Aka: Nearly everyone has likely seen her a lot but most don't know it.

That's a very legitimate career choice. Given her agility and dexterity, she could have been a great stunt double

one thing I love about mha is that the government in charge of hero society isn't outright evil, and not squeaky clean. they're managing a society of people with unpredictable superpowers that not only manifest when people are toddlers, but can lead to disasterous consequences. if they aren't doing something morally ambiguous or outright horrible to keep the peace/safety, they aren't the ones truly in charge, the ones who do are. they're doing everything they can to make sure things don't go back to s***, and they've got to break a few eggs to do it.

the world building in my hero academia is undeniably good. mangaka did an exceptional job on it. there's a few holes, but they are relatively small. if bnha focused more on it's world building, it could be a turning point for the genre of superhero societies. I always preferred bnha for it's world and often referred to it while writing my stories. it really exposes the darker side of an hero society, showing not only the good parts, but also the bad parts and how it screwed up many of character's lives. it sometimes felt that those characters truly live in that world, that they are a part of it. truly such a good job and adds a lot to the immersion.

Gojo just casually said I could just kill all the higher-ups and just be done with this whole thing. Like what's the stop a bunch of heroes were saying you. Know what the higher-ups are corrupt what's in the corruption Just kill them all. And replace them with reliable people that we trust. For the greater good really seriously what's the stop that kind of thing. The public safety commission get rid of them kill them all. For the greater good what's really stopping the heroes from doing it.

Good luck finding people to replace them. But, you are pretty much talking about Code Geass here

Ok I know the bit about us not being able to recreate Roman concrete was just a small thing mentioned at the start of the video but I feel the need to state that we can indeed recreate Roman concrete at a large scale. It’s just not worth it because it doesn’t have the same properties as our modern concrete. Essentially Roman concrete is super durable because it has self healing properties with the caveat that due to how it works it can’t be braced with steel. That means the things you can make with it are much more limited since it can’t support the weight that modern concrete with steel braces can. Leaving a disclaimer here that I am not an expert and just regurgitating some information I read elsewhere. Take it all with a grain of salt and check out some video’s on the topic after this one perhaps

@@mahistv it's really good tiger & bunny is another superhero show but unlike my hero academia. They have literal TV stations heroes are very hampered by what they can and can't do and they. Have to actually work with the cops yeah the cops are not just sitting around. waiting for the heroes do everything they do but they actually have to cooperate. After cooperate with lawyers they have to cooperate with the mayor. So heroes are very limited of what they can and can't do they can't just do whatever they want. Sometimes they go off the rails and they get. punished there off the rail actions actually has consequences. They have to deal with the government. And deal with the DEA and lawyers and stuff when arresting people in capturing. Criminals and they're very selective about who they actually hire for heroes. And you have to earn points and get good ratings and sponsorships and. actually make sponsorship deals to get more stuff you know to make money for your suits and stuff. And heroes they somewhat care about that stuff. because they have to get money but ultimately they do care about being heroes but their. hands Strong by the government the government actually does their job. And their agents actually do their jobs and tell them what they can and can't do and the people. Who owned the network actually tells them what they can and can't do also. It's a very interesting show with a ton of red tape and I liked it it makes sense. Like granted it sucks but you know this is what heroes would have to deal with. Corruption politics the government actually doing their job instead of just trusting heroes. It isn't just like trust me bro no I'm not just going to trust you bro we're caught you on 4K we're going to make sure that we can trust you. They have literal cameras in their suits to make sure that they're doing their job.

They nailed it when they removed bakugo, what an impossible character, from age 6 onward he doesn't really change much an anger bol of anger towards bad and good alike, it'd be good if he smiled nicely a couple times in his life, freaking grumpy cat isnt a good representative of realism even the most unpleasant people smile nicely (not smugly) many times in their life

[@mahistv]

I fundamentally disagree about the fact that he doesn't change. In a span of 6 season he did a complete 180 and is a way better person/hero. I don't smile that much and people say I look scary cause of my eyes, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad dude

@@theshatteredseas up to s4 finished and 2 movies, until then he's unrealistic, and people who don't smile genuinely ever as in literally since childhood are not realistic until you state a mental issue which didn't happen in the anime, so i dun really believe what you might think about yourself or others (who you probably don't see as often, but we see him in childhood and in home), its either being mentally unhealthy and so you must address it as such or you count "rare" smiling as similar to bakugo behavior , but no this is different from never smiling happily since childhood Matter of fact, if this is the thought process you got from the anime I'd say it's unsafe for public health to normalize and categorize this as normal, when people reach category 3+ of mental health its not normal nor ignorable and it should be addressed and treated, in an anime this is when it'd have been way better if they addressed it like that if they must have someone with that role

You missed how realistic it is for people without quirks to be looked down on because they have no powers, and I would like to compare it to epithet erased where it has a similar premise but with people with epithets being the minority, and nothing really happens there because why would it, the minority have the special abilities while people in the majority do not so if one were to go rouge because of how they were treated, it might be hard for people to stop them so they are not bullied as often, but in MHA the people without quirks are the minority so are less likely to do much damage if they were to go rouge so they are more likely to be treated bad

I dont think it does. Every time something happens like allmight retiring and Stain being captured, all the characters go "omg the world will never be the same again" and the world just goes on as normal. That's horrible world building in my opinion. Also the whole hero system as they explain it makes no sense. They say at the start there's an overabundance of heroes in places like musutafu, but in the paranormal war arc suddenly theyre understaffed and need students to fight wars? Also why are heroes only in cities and why are villains dumb enough to only attack places with a lot of heroes. Why wouldnt they move their crime elsewhere?

[@mahistv]

1. Stain changed the world quite a bit, in a way that more villains started to emerge and organize. All-might's retirement did a similar thing, except with the emphasis on more villains feeling free to do stuff. 2. You seem to forget that A LOT of these heroes joined PLF and weren't able to fight against them. Also. Think of it as police - they are abundant to deal with disorganized criminals across the country, but when you have to fight a literal army, that's a whole other scale of the problem.

There has to be some mercs and BHs out there. However, Gran Torino might as well count as one cause he is doing everything heroes do but under the public radar.
