The Chosen One | Izuku Midoriya

[@JaylinThompson]

Hey guys! It sure has been awhile! Life has been good lately though I don’t spend too much time working on edits anymore. Therefore, I wanted to take some time and make another vid for Izuku focusing on his entire journey throughout all six seasons. This was by far the toughest video I’ve ever made so I really hope you all enjoy it! Take care peeps!

[@RurouniHiro]

Your time is your time. Thank you for another video it’s clear to see the effort you put into it!

If you paid attention, especially in this, Izuku has been told throughout the show to stop being like all might. He is different, because in every moment he's a hero, he is a symbol of hope.

As a massive mha fan i got goosebumps. Ive read all the manga ive watched all the movies multiple times Mha is Greatness.

There are already multiple movie out? Also why is there soo many series of this one manga

[@zoilomccrocklin8487]

This is why I love BNHA. It may be a shonen,, it may have cliches or recognizeable tropes, but it stands out in it's passion. This anime is not about despair or twists or edginess. This series is about hope, about the power of perseverence toward a goal, a dream, an aspiration or even toward a realization of protection. Izuku was not written to be stoic, edgy, overly confident or even totally rational. He was written to represent us: people all striving toward our dreams, people that will face a society of opposition. Izuku is not a hero because he is so powerful. He is a hero because he embodies selflessness, hope and determination. The gift of One for All is merely a tool to help him be this beacon. This is why I love My Hero. People can say what they want, but I proudly stand by this, because this show inspires me to be my own hero

[@elizaguzman903]

Thank you for those words. This why I love my hero and Izuku because he inspire me to follow my dreams.

[@joshir0-i2y]

I don't know about you all but Jesus is my Hero!!

[@kingkodobigblackchewie9087]

@zoilomccrocklin8487 couldn't have said it better. i use to get angry at deku always crying but that is who he is. i love how the writer wrote his character as a human and not some typical edge lord who hates all that oppose him since that is not a real man at all but someone who will show his haters what it mean to be a hero.

[@DjMelton]

Exactly!!!!

[@sapphiregamgee4773]

Well said!

[@_dxksh]

Say what people may about MHA, but you can't diasgree to the fact that it has some really motivational and heartfelt scenes and dialogues. This edit was even better than the previous ones! Keep at it my friend!👍

[@JaylinThompson]

I agree man; especially some of those quotes from All Might, they can really boost your spirits and make you want to go the extra mile. And thx man, it took ages so I appreciate it!

[@user-db5ch9sq5s]

@@JaylinThompson I can tell that you put a lot of effort into this amv. I want to also mention that a lot of people prioritize quantity over quality, but you didn't. Thank you.

I think it was REALLY good once it got super edgy and dark I feel like it lost a lot of its charm

I once heard someone say he doesnt think midoriya wont be a symbol of peace, i asked why, and he said he may be like all might but hes not all might, ue has something different. I didnt understand until recently that hes not going to be a symbol of peace, he's the symbol of hope!

The drastic change from Deku’s motivational spirit and moments trying to become the best hero he can, to the darkest and most depressing time in his life really hit hard in this video. Great work! 👏

I definitely wanted to incorporate all aspects of his journey, including the various changes in his mental state. Thank you for your support!

[@amandacipiti6207]

I watched this 5 times. FIVE TIMES and EVERY SINGLE TIME it made me cry! This looks like an epic trailer for the anime too!! You did so well! Never stop making these!! You have my full support and this is the best Mha AMV I’ve ever seen!!

This made me fall in love with him all over again. 😭 Izuku why are you so cool?!

[@stoagymahalo5268]

Thing that breaks my heart over Midoriya, the fact you CAN see the villain in him, every time he's pushed, where you cut the moments out of context and every villain fighting him gets a moment to see the Deku Stare, where I still feel its an unintentional cultivation of All for one... Where I still see that it hints and it scares me of the class, where all it takes is their deaths and I'm sure that be Deku's snap. Why I never saw hope when he blows up in power, but desperation, not to survive but to protect, why its so amazing but haunting to see a boy so desperate over determine to win, to protect life and one failure almost shook him and scared him away from his friends. Why its just so scary to think of the moment where I think Deku might snap and in a moment when A41 is at the end, I bet he'll finally explain why he NEVER went after Mizuku, where I feel Shigi is the main goal but deku is almost a back up. Why it just takes one bad day for this boy and all it takes is for the writer to decide that. Where it just scares me to think even to waiver after all this time, how would a fictional character impacts my feelings so much.

[@ImLooney-q8e]

I haven't been able to comment or like this video due to not being allowed to have an account, but screw it. This video has made me break down a dozen times. It's so addicting to show Deku's story so far to my friends, because no matter how much I rave about anime, especially My Hero Academia, they didn't get why I was so addicted until they watched this. This wonderfully displayed the seriousness of the show. People can argue that the few character deaths are unrealistic and that Deku is a crybaby, but it's their opinion, not mine. Is their some sense to it? Yes. Do I see it through rose-tinted glasses? Likely. That doesn't matter though, because this show is what brings me joy, and you helped deliver the timeline perfectly. Phenomenal job :)
