In this video, we're going to talk about The Problem With Modern My Hero Academia.
My Hero Academia used to be one of the best anime out here, but now it's getting worse and worse. The current season is not as good as it was, and the last few seasons have been really bad.
You hate to see it, we can't have shit 😭.

[@hiimray03]

Based on things that Horikoshi has said I personally think that he is so scared about MHA being cancelled since his other 2 series in Shonen Jump were cancelled that he is trying his best to end the story on his terms so he is rushing thru things to make it to the finish line. He said so many things about what he wanted to bring into the story like deku's dad but we are in the endgame now. I personally still enjoy the show and love the manga but given whats been happening in the manga (no spoilers ofc) i get why people are dropping it. And Bones isnt really helping MHA's case by switching around story arcs putting more animation effort into movies then the actual War Arc, constant flashbacks and cutting stuff out

[@BadTakeRisan]

I didn’t know that part about his cancelled manga, that’s interesting. It makes even more sense that everything feels rushed. That combined with the health issues he’s dealing with means that speed-running to the end is probably his biggest priority rn. It’s unfortunate because the story had so much potential. I won’t partake in the revisionist history ppl are doing rn by acting like it was never good, early MHA was hittin!

[@AntonioFelipePitta]

Horikoshi allowed his fear of cancelation to dictate his story too much. I may be wrong, but if i remember it correctly, he even admited to reduce some arcs due to the rejection the villains received.

[@hiimray03]

@@AntonioFelipePitta yeah you're right the Forest training arc and the My Villain Academia Arc were suppose to be longer but he made them shorter due to his editors and fan reception

[@BadTakeRisan]

Damn if that’s true, that sucks. I did also hear about the fan reception of MVA not being great due to the absence of the main characters. But I’ve also heard that it was just a rumour and hasn’t been confirmed so idk.

[@bigshot9514]

Hopefully an "extended" version is released or something

[@SenatiaA]

The problem with MHA is that all this happens in one year. It is a year, and even the movies happen in this single year. This should have moved on to the second year; the war arc should be the fourth. I want it to end because of the lack of progress. I am up to date in the manga and I am tired of it.

@@alexvaughan1013 That is why I stopped watching the Simpsons. Time moves, and things change, but the characters are the same and in the same places they were when the show first aired.

[@gaming1zanagi-1999.]

Idk about you but I feel another reason of getting tired of it is because the duking between Shigaraki and the heroes gets way out of hand

Deku going from having no quirks to have the most powerful one… then having 10 quirks felt like it was going against what made Deku Deku.

@@WesleyLindsey ? I mean it is pretty simple? If OFA users can truly counters AFO users then why it seems to not working when Deku duking it out with Shiggy?

[@teachesl2945]

I fell off the weekly manga around season 6 story. For me; the story lost it's flavor when it became the Deku show and everybody else gets glossed over. All for One made into a single panel joke of a character. Bakugo dying and then not dying. No consequences to the trama experienced fighting the villains. They give Midoriya a bath and all their worries dissipate

[@BadTakeRisan]

Facts! Especially with AFO, he became a cartoon villain😭

[@IzukuKun-ow4rx]

Actually Deku is not really even being shown that much in the final war , his been fighting Shigiraki off screen for awhile now and Horikoshi has mostly been focusing on other characters and giving them wins or moments. If anything Deku is being unappreciated and tossed to the side at the moment in the manga so others get their moments. I agree with all you said before but MHA definitely didn't become the Deku show. I feel like AFO is somewhat becoming a cartoon villain but his not that bad.

[@gaming1zanagi-1999.]

That and the fact that OFA seems not effective against AFO users like Shigaraki. Like AFO user should have a major weakness when going against OFA users like the more they got hit by one of the moves from OFA the weaker they got but nope we didn't see that and instead Shigaraki powers is cut down by half due to New Order which I don't mind if only every hits that Deku landed on Shigaraki makes Shigaraki even weaker due to the effect of OFA

[@DeClayz]

I dont even fully remember where I left the story, but i recall just not enjoying midoriya's "chosen one"ness... unfortunate to see that it went even further.

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah it’s a pretty unfortunate route the story took imo. Some ppl enjoy it but it’s just not for me. Like you probably did , I enjoyed when he had to think and strategise to beat his opposition.

[@deviouschimp4663]

The audience reaction to Deku giving his quirk to Bakugo was wild haha. My entire theatre let out a collective "Huh??? NO WAY! WTF"???

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah I can imagine. That must’ve been fun. I remember seeing the crazy Dragon Ball Super audience reactions back in 2018 and they were awesome

[@youtubestudiosucks978]

The biggest problem about my hsro academia are the fans sending actual death threats to horikoshi to make their ships cannon and the people denying it

Wtf that’s crazy , it’s never that serious 😭

[@RaraPremium]

Show started off so strong to become so weak

[@BadTakeRisan]

Frr! I never would thought it would get this mid when I was watching the first 3 seasons. We had such a great setup with all the characters being fairly balanced and useful. Aizawa, Endeavour, Bakugo, Todoroki, Iida, Best Jeanist, Gran Torino and even Hawks in S4. How do you fumble such a great cast of side characters like that ? 😭💀

[@natefab4490]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@BadTakeRisanbro huh this makes no sense. Ur acting like endeavor and hawks werent relevant being balanced and useful in s4. And aizawa was literally doing his shot in the first arc of s4. To me it seems like u expect each side character/ villain/ main character to be relevant in each episode or something. Literally all the characters u named were relevant in s5 and s6 and some u named we’re already in s4. Literally season 4 was a setup for the later arcs for new characters to join the show and new ideas like quirk deleting drugs for the war arc. So I don’t get why u say fumble like they weren’t expanded in later arcs

[@BadTakeRisan]

Hawks fought Nomu with Endeavour at the end of season 4 so he was definitely relevant. I don’t expect all the characters to be relevant but MHA has a terrible power creep issue. Shigaraki and Deku are OP and everyone else is kinda left in the dust. That is what I was referring to when I said they fumbled their supporting cast . As I said earlier , kinda like how the end of Naruto became Naruto and Sasuke vs Madara/Kaguya and most of the other characters became irrelevant. It’s a common thing that happens to long running shonen manga.

[@RaraPremium]

@@BadTakeRisan honestly! It hurts. I even stopped reading the Manga. I'll continue it just to see it finish since it's close to ending anyway. But overall not happy with how things turned out

[@BadTakeRisan]

@@RaraPremium Yeah fr man, when I was making this vid I recorded each part after I watched the season. After like season 5 I took 3 months off watching the show and it took around another 2 months to finish season 6. I loved this show back in s1-3 but it’s definitely not the same anymore.

[@Hawk7886]

I really want to love the show but it feels so slow and formulaic at times that it's impossible to get hyped. Progress is super slow and the power scaling is all sorts of jacked up. At this point the viewer knows that nothing will really change this season, some enemies might get a bit stronger but they'll never actually win, maybe one or two characters might die in stupid ways, Deku will get beaten up but he'll Deus Ex Machina his way out of trouble, etc. It feels like the kids need to undergo a time jump with a huge boost in power just to keep it interesting, but doing so would cause so many other issues. I dunno, I agree with your conclusion. I'm just not interested in it anymore.

[@BadTakeRisan]

Well said man. Honestly I feel like Deku also just isn’t an interesting or likeable enough character for us to ignore him being OP. At least with Dragonball Super, we love Goku and Vegeta or with Naruto Shippuden , we still love Naruto and Sasuke and Kakashi. With My Hero , the best characters are not Deku and most of class 1A so it kinda feels frustrating when they’re focused on. When actual interesting characters like Hawks and Endeavour are the focus and we’re going back to simple one-dimensional ass Deku, it’s even harder to enjoy the show. Thanks for watching and leaving the nice comment btw! I didn’t think this video would go over well tbh , I thought I was being a lil too negative 😭

[@BuzzabeelYT]

The villains are way more compelling in MHA, and that’s it’s biggest problem. When Midnight died, she hadn’t been relevant since S2. When Twice died… man. It hit so hard I wanted the Villains to win. And that’s the issue. _In a story about Heroes, I wanted the Villains to win_

[@HermannTheGreat]

I still dont' like Bakugo, and Deku being given all these different powers is a joke, plot garbage. I still feel bad for All-Might, they've made him kind of pathetic with a constant grim look.

[@MadameTamma]

I feel that you've got a spot on assessment. I like most of the heroes fine but the villains convinced me of their plight and in return the heroes could only offer individualized solutions and vague promises of 'doing better' and 'trying harder'.

[@gaming1zanagi-1999.]

Yeah unless if Horikoshi made a spin-off of MHA then it is a different story

[@minteraysolo8509]

Personally I really didn't - the only thing they had going for them was a sad past. Yet, they kept complaining about hero society but it made no sense. They complained about how heroes were paid or whatever but heroes were shown to be middle class at best. They whined about how they used children as soldiers - which is fair - but didn't hesitate a second to try and kill those same kids. I would have rooted for them more if they hesitated, or showed remorse for attacking the same kids they accuse the heroes of using. They talked about how the heroes were violent yet the heroes refrained from killing anyone when it could be prevented. For something that is low-key presented as a critic of the police, it's really failing. And they're terrorists. In my opinion the villains in Mha are quite poorly written. Horikoshi is clearly writing them in a way that wants to make the readers like them and care about them, but he's rushing the end. I fear that their redemption arc in the end will just be "Oh they suffered it's our fault let's forgive all the deaths and suffering they caused". I don't want them to die, but I hope the end will be more nuanced, with the heroes having sympathy for the villains but also putting them in jail because that's definitely where they belong.

[@toongamer2810]

The source material for my villain academia is amazing, many people share this opinion. The art was awesome, and love for Shigaraki grew. The anime switching the joint training arc around with this arc, and doing the flashback thing kinda lessened the cool factor.

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah I read it a few days ago and man , they really fucked it up in the anime . The art was so cool

[@HapPawhere]

I don't like shigaraki, idk he spare afo. If he is a good villain, he will kill afo before final war

[@darkwinter2009]

Hey man first off. I want to say, great video. But I also want to say I think My Hero Academia is still enjoyable for me even though it has flaws. Yes, My Hero Academia may not be the best manga of all time but I don't let the flaws ruin the show for me

[@BadTakeRisan]

Thanks for the kind words! That’s fair tbh. As I said in the vid, I don’t think MHA is terrible and I can understand if people enjoy it still. I’m just personally not invested enough to continue watching through flaws.

[@truthspreader1996]

[@93Litze]

I'm always up to watch a My Hero Academia Video and even Its one of my personal Top 5 Animes, i just must agree that this Anime has Problems, that could have been avoided. For me, its not bad to see some focus on sidecharacters like the Class 1A vs 1B Teamfights, because that was one thing i missed in Naruto, but as you said. As a seasional Anime its kinda a problem to have a few episodes focused an minor Characters, but i still like it. My biggest problem is the mentioned powercreep. Deku and Shigaraki are litteraly unbeatable by anyone else beside of these 2 and Deku is in his first class. I think it would be better if he were all 3 years at the school to master everything and let Shigaraki grow in strenght, too. Now it seems to much rushed, like Food Wars (same thing here with the first year)

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah fr , the power creep is pretty crazy and surprising tbh. MHA always seemed so balanced in the early seasons so it was so unexpected for Deku and Shigaraki to be this OP. As you said, they really should have let the kids develop over the three years in school while Shigaraki also got stronger at a similar pace. Thanks for watching! Hopefully I wasn’t too negative on your fav show. 🤞🏾

[@93Litze]

@@BadTakeRisan It wasn't to negative, i even like to see critism on beloved shows, because i can see the weakness of that show better. I often like to discuss "What makes an Anime the best Anime" and i always think it must minimize his weakness and maximise his strength. For example, Dragonball or Naruto are very enjoyable Animes, but they aren't good, because they have to many and to heavy lifting weaknesses. MHA had always a very good balancing... well had. One of there strongest points are now a big weakness and its for sure still enjoyable, but i would recomend it as "one of the best Animes" anymore. One of the best Animes I would consider Attack on Titan, FMA:B, Spice and Wolf, Dr. Stone or Assassination Classroom, because every of these Animes has there weaknesses, but they minimize this and really show of there strength.

[@BadTakeRisan]

@@93Litze Thanks for the feedback , it’s good to know it didn’t come off as too negative! Totally agree with what you said. One thing I’d say about Naruto and Dragonball tho , is that even when the story got bad, the character were still likeable enough to carry the show. MHA doesn’t have the best characters and the good ones usually aren’t the focus so when the story gets bad , it’s hard to enjoy.

[@watchforever1724]

@@BadTakeRisanokay then

[@brokecavs]

Watching the latter seasons of the anime, it surprised me that they are still in their 1st year and all those crazy events all happened in less than a year. With that, I can't really believe that Deku has mastered his quirk in such a small amount of time while his teacher, Eraserhead commented that it took him 6 years to get a full grasp with his rope/scarf tool. Personally, I have no problem with how Deku improves at short period of time since he is smart and calculating. But I really won't believe that he achieved all those milestones within a year.

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah although they’re technically meant to be starting year 2 at school. But the timeline is still pretty ridiculous even with that knowledge. Just doesn’t make sense lmao

[@HapPawhere]

Even Lemillion need 3 years to mastered his complex quirk & Lemillion is also smart character LOL, beside his comedic act

[@watchforever1724]

Ah I see

[@Ermac98]

In my opinion, you have some good points about MHA like the pacing of the story and the focus of the characters. But I want to talk about my problems with MHA: 1. The animation and the effects should evolve: After watching the first cour of Bleach Tybw, I realized that the animation of MHA didn't Improve enough (even if the animators didn't work on a 4th movie in that time) and the visuals stayed almost the same with these god damn simple blue sky. Bleach in the other hand, got a massive change that made it look even better than the original anime run (like the light differences in times in a day, places and weather). It's not easy for me to explain this, but the MHA animators should evolve thier animation and effects too. 2. Some of the arcs feel rushed: The author of MHA (Kohei Horikoshi) is rushing his story becuse of his health. We need to understand that every Mangaka dosen't have free time (like eating and sleeping) while writing and drawing a manga chapter in a week. Horikoshi is still a human who's sacrificing himself for the job. He could add number of missing things if he didn't rush his own story (the manga does influence the anime for better or worse). 3. The anime/manga timeline: Most of the known UA students didn't finish yet their 1'st year at school and the Pros still allowing them to join the first war. For some reason, I think that Horikoshi (who's still working non stop even if he feels sick) did a mistake that he made Deku alot more powerful than most of the pro heroes so fast (one year isn't enough). If he wrote a bigger timeskip before the war (like 2 years for example), the Young cast would be even more capable to do the things they did in the war arc and Deku's power scale would make more sense (together with most of the events Horikoshi wrote with his story). 4. This Fandom...: I don't know how to say this, but some of them expect too much of this anime/manga. Some of them want this story to become even darker than what it should be. Some of them want thier ship to be canon (even if the author want to focus on somthing else that make more sense for the story). And especially the fact that they have the power to ruin the story in some way if the author himself worte somthing that they didn't like. Do you think that I missed something?

[@BadTakeRisan]

Some of your points were the same as mine and I generally agree with the others too. One thing I’d say about 4 is that ppl just need to learn to ignore fandoms. If a show is great , I don’t really give a fuck if the fandom is toxic or not. I just watch the show. The fandom has no effect on my enjoyment of a show whatsoever. I don’t think you should include fandoms in a list of problems with MHA because the creator isn’t responsible for that shit. I love One Piece , the fandom is kinda aids but I’m not gonna blame One Piece or Oda for that 🤣.

[@Ermac98]

Nah dw it’s definitely okay to feel sad about it , no one wants a show / manga they like to go out this way. Especially when it’s due to illness. It’s kinda like Togashi and the end of Yu Yu Hakusho.

Same here, at first it was pretty good but over time I started to get less and less interested only to get more interested during MVA and War arc only to get really disappointed and irritated with the VH arc (second half at least). And unfortunately things just get worse and worse with the class being more and more irrelevant and moments that make absolutely no sense to the point where I just gave up and quit.

From Aoyama’s reveal, and how the “Final Second War” may have some cool moments and awesome artwork (Horokoshi is literally risking his health with finishing this Manga) but honestly I Just Stopped caring about the state of the characters And the story of My Hero. Deku vs Shigaraki is currently happening but to me took WAY too long to actually happen and had to suffer with the Plot Device AFO for so long. Honestly as cool as it looks there’s just no substance to My Hero anymore in my eyes. It’s like firecrackers sure there’s cool stuff happening but it’s just doesn’t appeal to me at this point. I’ve already quit looking for updates on the Manga and will probably just wait until the Series both Anime and Manga finish entirely. Dabi’s Reveal was really the “Last hurrah” of old MHA as we know it.

I think what bothers me alot is how the fights between Deku and Shigaraki and the war between heroes and villains just dragged way too long to the point OFA didn't do it's job to counters AFO. Cause everytime Deku fights off Shigaraki over and over it seems like Shigaraki didn't even seems getting weaker due to the effect of OFA. If AFO allows the user to steal other people's quirk then OFA should be able to retrieve back the stolen quirks from AFO but yet so far none of such happened.

I’m commenting this without watching the full video so you may address the sentiment I share but it’s still something I want to share regardless. I love everything about MHA. Flaws and all. I love Hori’s style of writing even though it’s clear that he’s rushing the story and wants to move on from it. To me he is still hitting the high highs that I didn’t think the series would really ever get to. Everytime it gets to a major battle or story beat I just think “how does this keep getting better and better?” Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t care. I won’t ignore or deny flaws that the series does have, but I still think the highs make up for it. It’s my favorite running show currently (outside of AoT but that’s got 1 episode left). I just hope Hori doesn’t regret rushing everything and ends up completing the story he wants to tell, and I’ll be there every step of the way.

@@BadTakeRisan yeah I continued to watch the rest of the video and I do get where you’re coming from, to each their own you know. Truthfully I have been gripped by the series since season 3 was airing and have just always been excited to see what happens next. Like honestly the first time I went through the Gentle arc I was kinda just like okay just gotta get through this to get to the good stuff, but when rewatching it over and over I see why Deku says that Gentle was his toughest fight, not because of how strong he was, but because of how much he can relate to him, and how he could’ve have ended up just like him. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I like how Hori writes his characters. Sometimes it’s not as well done as it should be but when it hits it freaking hits, but I also get why others wouldn’t agree with that. Art is subjective after all.

2 things: 1. Teamwork makes the Dreamwork was never MHAs narrative. 2. Even tho most of the heroes are simplistic, There are quite a few complex villains and endeavor. Also Deku is a lot more complex than people gives him credit for. At the end of the day its still shounen so not all characters will be complex or even focused on.

[@BadTakeRisan]

1. Fair enough 2. Aside from Endeavour I’m not sure what complex characters you’re referring to? Also, the whole “it’s a shonen” thing is a little disingenuous imo. Sure it’s a shonen but plenty of the best shonen anime /manga handle their characters better and that’s the standard I held mha to in the earlier seasons. If your reasoning is that since it’s a shonen not all the characters will be complex, isn’t that inherently admitting that mha is an average shonen?

This series is factual trash, it stared to show cracks after the Stain arc, nowdays is one of the worst shonen that is still ongoing, it has hideous writing choices, terribly done student characters, horrendous pacing because all happens in almost only 1 year, hideous plot armor, incompetent villains, nonesense plot points etc. Absolutely terrible

[@BadTakeRisan]

While I agree with your points , I think the wording is a little harsh and hyperbolic. It’s pretty generic and boring now but most shonen are. I think MHA is closer to being average or mid than the WORST shonen ongoing.

[@TheYoungGeninSasuke]

Not all the students are even bad characters

[@yunfeikwon]

As a fan of narrative storytelling, the pacing is absolutely terrible it ruined the series the most, and how the story is overcrowded with many one dimensional characters is really killed the plot focus and direction. Well it's fine if it's marketed towards young kids since they don't care about that kind of stuff. But they made it unnecessary edgy and too dark with many ongoing drama and angst which not suited for kids. I mean pick a side dude, because the inconsistencies in terms of plot focus, characters, story pacing and progress, and worldbuilding style in the series is confusing and half-baked so it fails. By world building style I mean how they perceive the world in unrealistic or realistic approach. Like how the world in HxH is dangerous but the main cast seems to be take it on positive light until chimera ant arc came out, and all the arcs after it never feel the same way again. In mha they seems to mix their world in positive light and later into negative back and forth however the author failed at the execution so it feels like despite the dark arc is intense and super heavy, it seems to be never affected them whenever it switched back to wholesome light arc in very short time. Maybe it's their way of coping it, but the author should really address it better rather than "oh they are still young and naive, so they recover unbelievably fast!" kind of bs excuse.

[@phantom9831]

Well, I think the problem of pacing that was in the fifth season comes from the fact that they switched the order of the events, and wasted some parts of the manga (at least, that's what I've heard of, since I've started to read the scan right after the sixth season), but I do agree the class A vs Class B arc wasn't extremely good, and, as you said for the season 4, it's hard to even feel anything for you say run after hearing so much itteration of it. For example, in black clover, Haruka Mirai (even if it is the first opening) is only played twice in the anime, and whenever you hear it, it just goes fire As for me, the movies are great, same as you I enjoyed more the second and the third one, but overall, they're still good, however, I just can't accept that it's canon, the movies are contradictory to the main saga, and it just feels off to think they're canon 9:16 yeah, I find it so funny to think that without X-Less, Shigaraki would be dead here, and the final war arc would've been so much easier ahah 10:17 for recovery girl, it's not that easy, she just accelerate the healing process, she can't heal everything, but yes, character's death in mha are often (a often as an important character dies in mha) done dirty and hard to make you really feel something about it Once again, I agree, after starting to use his predecessors's quirks, he seems like he mastered all of them instantly and can use 100% without drawbacks...and it's hard when you know that he max he could get at that time was a maximum output of 20%... (it's even worse in the manga) Izuku went from progressively getting better to receiving a massive boost too quickly, I think learning to master thses quirks should've take even more time, especially combined with the One for All base quirk, but I think it's also because they did the same to Shigaraki, once he got past his trauma, the doctor just boost him and gave him a strength almost equal to AfO...and it's too quick to be good The worst part is how that just ruined Deku, in the first season, because of his struggling, he used tactic to win and tried to avoid using too much of his power (outside special case like his fight vs Todoroki) he analysed everything and created his own fighting style by mimicking the fighting style of the ones he admired, it's because he knew he wasn't strong enough with only his quirk that he came up with strategies, and towards the end, he became so powerful he didn't even need to think anymore, he just had to his his sheer power to win...and it's just annyoing

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah they switched around the My Villain Academia arc and included a flash forward of Shigaraki destroying that town for some reason. They literally spoiled the ending of the arc , idk why Bones would do that 😭. As you said tho , you definitely feel it in the pacing.

He noticed musicales game plan as well and exploited it. He prob also did sum smart shot against the sniper girl but I don’t remember that fight. Also it seems like ur hating on deku on becoming his own person and not mimicking ppl. Deku literally get kept saying he wanted to make the quirk his own.

[@tyforestreacts]

Ironically, the villains are the most interesting characters in My HERO Academia. THEY are the ones who go through so much struggle and even struggle more achieve their dreams. The majority of Class 1-A just aren't interesting or have practically no development outside of maybe a flashback or two. They get their individual moments and that's it. The only hero with an interesting arc was Endeavor, simply because his story is compelling, to watch this guy who did horrendous things, knows he did those things, and is actively trying to atone and never asks for forgiveness. It's not something you see all that often in anything really. But other than that? Eh. MHA isn't a bad series, but the longer it goes on, the more it seems to be falling off. Like the opposite of Black Clover.

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah exactly. All the interesting characters aren’t really focused on. Some of the highlights I forgot to mention were Twice’s whole story and the Dabi twist. Unfortunately for every one of those episodes we have 10 focused on Deku giving a speech about what it means to be a hero. As you said , it’s not terrible. I can understand why people enjoy it cause after 6 seasons , they probably love these characters. I just don’t like / care about class 1A enough to keep watching.

Reading the manga for season 5 & 6 in the manga at the time I felt like most of it was awesome while reading. At the the time i felt like most of it kinda made sense. I had really enjoyed My Villian Academia & the War Arc (the dabi reveal was 💥 even though most of us saw it coming). However while i was watching these arcs in the anime i wasn't feeling the excitement I usually do seeing exciting parts of manga I read being animated. After the disappointment of the My Villian Academia Arc i just havent been able to relive that feeling while watching MHA. Its odd to me because it seems to be only MHA that I have the issue with. Btw: i also enjoyed Heroes Rising movie more than the other two movies. It was a little long but the pacing of it was great.

I binged watched the show right around when S4 ended, and caught up to when S5 began. I kinda enjoyed it but didn’t realize they were still in their FIRST year as High schoolers. Honestly, if you take the ending of S1, skip to the beginning of S6, I doubt you’ll notice a difference besides All Might Retiring, Deku unlocking new quirks, and Shiggy having a voice change, because other than that, it feels like nothing “really” happened between so many seasons of “fluff” or slow progress of the story. Did any of these characters that we follow, especially the students, teacher and heroes change drastically over the course of 6-7 seasons?

@koalabearkhan145 Yea MHA definitely peaked at S3. All Might vs AFO and Bakugo vs Deku felt like the culmination of a lot of story arcs.

Honestly Overhaul was SO Wasted potential after his arc was done and the Yakuza in general was kinda wasted potential as well. I would think that his Quirk destroying bullets would be kinda popular amongst those who’ve genuinely suffered from their quirks as we’ve seen from the Mutants. Honestly I feel Overhaul should’ve left a bigger mark on the world long after his defeat other than a few bullets in my opinion

[@BadTakeRisan]

Nah fr, I feel like the stakes of what he was trying to accomplish wasn’t given enough respect by the Author. His Quirk destroying bullets should’ve shaken the foundations of the MHA society as much as Stain did imo. Removing quirks is such a society shifting thing but he’s treated as a typical quirky bad guy that needs to be stopped. That was the first sign of the style of writer Horikoshi is when it came to serious moments for me and I wasn’t a fan. It only got worse with stuff like Midnight’s death and the Vigilante arc imo. The most annoying part is that it’s not like these ideas are bad , they’re actually pretty interesting but the execution is just so mediocre and wasteful.

The problem with mha is very simple. It got john cena'd. What i mean by that is the entire heroes side of mha has become a version of john cena. I refer to John Cena the wrestler here. In wwe for the longest time, Cena was booked as this good guy who just is better than the evil opponent he's facing. He's what you call a face. Years of this just went by. Everytime cena was in the ring we knew he's gonna win. He's not going to lose. Even if he does he'll just get back up. Cool right ? But then something strange happened everyone got bored of wwe. You see cena was the face of the company. The audience started to understand that they're getting the same story every night. It's cena the hero against whoever is the villain. And strangely enough people started to boo cena and cheer the villain. The cheers were louder especially if the villain wrestler was a better character in general than cena. This is exactly what's happening in mha. Deku and the heroes are all the good guys. And all for one and the others are villains. Deku will not lose. However the villains could more so, some of them have even died trying to save their loved ones. This means the audience will always sympathise with the loser who cannot win against the "good guy". Especially so when the villain is better written. However i believe this is the magazine's fault than horikoshi. Horikoshi probably certainly wanted his heroes to be more defined than this. But he couldn't help it because of jump trying to milk mha for the longest time. Like take the ending he actually planned for mha. Deku giving ofa to Bakugou. That's deku sacrificing every ounce of his dream probably for the sake of ensuring the survival of mankind. I believe We got robbed off of that because jump wanted mha to be a longer series.

Definitely the most random analogy I’ve read in a while 😭. It’s pretty accurate tho, I get what you’re saying.

Manga > Anime. Also Season 6 had great tracks lol

[@BadTakeRisan]

I recorded each part after I watched the season so that’s why earlier in the vid I’m kinda shitting on the music. I did mention Season 5 has some good NEW tracks tho. I read the manga , the adaptation issues disappear but the other problems I have with MHA don’t. Like the lack of relevant side characters , Deku being OP and the overall direction the story ended up taking tbh.

[@TheYoungGeninSasuke]

It sucks you don't like any of the characters beside two.

[@BadTakeRisan]

I never said that. I just said there aren’t that many compelling characters. I can like a character but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re compelling or well written. Shit, I like most of class 1A but they’re mostly one dimensional characters and background fodder🤣. My favourite character in the first 3 seasons was actually Iida but unfortunately he got that Rock Lee treatment 😭.

[@TheYoungGeninSasuke]

@@BadTakeRisan Mine are like two. Shouto and Dabi. I use to like Hawks but he becomes kinda bad later down the line for me. 😭

[@BadTakeRisan]

@TheYoungGeninSasuke Damn not my boy hawks , he’s such a fun character rn. Im assuming you’ve read the manga so I wanna ask, do you think it gets any better from here? Or is it a Naruto ting where the War Arc is the worst one?

[@TheYoungGeninSasuke]

@@BadTakeRisanthe final war is a mixed bag. The only student that is consistently written is Shouto for me. He also doesn't have any asspulls or bad power progression. It's great. Him and Ochako are MVPs of the final war for taking down Dabi and Toga. Iida gets to do something big. Hawks has become just a dick rider and Endeavor cheerleader. No one cares about the abuse that endeavor did so like Hori kinda fumbled there. Everything you liked about season 6 is kinda not important later like the Dabi video or Twice death. Hawks does not reflect on it or anything. Toga is the most affected by it of course. Future context ruins alot of the anime stuff you see, especially if you read the manga and see the outcome of some of these plotlines.

[@BadTakeRisan]

@TheYoungGeninSasuke Damn that kinda sucks to hear. They really did Hawks like that😭. It seems like Horikoshi just made too many characters and couldn’t find a way to write them all well. It’s unfortunate to see cause man I really loved the first 3 seasons. The Endevour plot was interesting but I don’t think MHA is this type of manga/anime that can handle that type of story well. Everyone is either straight up good or evil so grey area characters like Endevour were always gonna get shafted. At least Iida does something big so I have something to look forward to. Im starting to really dislike Deku tho so it’ll be hard to get through all his screen time to see that. I’ll probably wait till it’s all finished and just binge it eventually. What would you give the series out of 10 at this point in the manga ?

[@jasonblack2477]

Anime did not do the Manga justice. My Villain Academia was great in the Manga

[@BadTakeRisan]

Yeah I’ve read it after making this vid, it’s definitely better in the manga and the art is goated. Horikoshi’s pen game is insane!

[@jasonblack2477]

@@BadTakeRisan yeah Bones said they cant keep up with horekoshis art and still they make my hero. They fumbled so many major moments amd cencor every brutal moment. I honestly dont know how they are gonna handle the final arc. Art wise and how they wanna portray the more brutal scenes cause there are a lot

[@BadTakeRisan]

@jasonblack2477 Yeah that was a big issue I had with the anime too. There aren’t that many brutal scenes in MHA anyway, censoring the few that are there is just wild. Bones started with great animation but decided to focus on the movies because they were more profitable. That’s why the quality dropped unfortunately. Hopefully they do the final arc justice for the fans but personally, idc about it tbh. Even after reading some of the manga , a lot of my problems with the story are still there. I don’t like Horikoshi’s writing style.

thanks !

MHA is wasted potential. The author butchered Other nation's Superheroes. He even killed Captain America for bad reason LOL LOL

What ? 🤣

[@felipekane9611]

Mha is honestly really good and enjoyable if you don’t compare it with like, one piece or berserk, people tend to have rlly high expectations these days

[@BadTakeRisan]

I think that’s a little disingenuous. Most ppl who share my opinion aren’t comparing MHA to anything else other than itself. As I said in the vid , s1-3 was really good. The later seasons… not so much. People are allowed to dislike something without their opinions being dismissed due to “really high expectations “.

[@felipekane9611]

@@BadTakeRisan True, the movies, covid, arc changes messed up the seasons, i have high hopes for season 7 tho, considering they finished mob psycho

[@BadTakeRisan]

That’s a good point , I never thought about the Mob Psycho thing. Hopefully the story gets better too. Tbh I don’t have high hopes but if it’s good, I’ll make a follow up video for sure! 👌🏾

[@Fletcher-pr2jf]

Stop the cap, compare it to bleach, JJK, Chainsawman, or even Dr Stone and is still a garbage series, none of thouse jump the shark as bad as this terrible series does or dissapoint as bad as this series does

[@BadTakeRisan]

@@Fletcher-pr2jf Dr Stone is just as bad if not worse. They went from taking episodes / chapters to create inventions to speed running developments. They disregarded the whole point of the show. Dr Stone also never reached the heights that MHA did. Let’s not act like MHA was always mediocre, it had 3 good seasons earlier on. Dr stone doesn’t even have 2.

[@jasonblack2477]

I thought Bakugos and Endeavors character were good

[@BadTakeRisan]

Idk about Bakugo but definitely agree about Endeavour but they’re not the focus of the show unfortunately. It’s Deku and his poorly written quirks.

[@jasonblack2477]

@@BadTakeRisan Bakugo is a hige part of the show and Endeavor too have u even read the manga. Endeavor has soo much screentime. Plus the quirks arent even poorly written they should just be teased more its all explained

[@BadTakeRisan]

The quirks not being foreshadowed and just randomly dropped in to the show is the definition of poorly written and bad writing imo.

[@kiyomi5583]

​@@BadTakeRisanReading that just amounts to why AFO is just a fucking joke to me. He just feels boring and its the constant back up plans atop of back up plans and him being connected to EVERY plotline. Maybe I am wrong,but im just so tired of AFO and wanna be done with him and his saturday villain of "I knew what you were gonna do before you knew what you were gonna do." Regardless nice video dude,and I'm looking forward to more.

[@BadTakeRisan]

@kiyomi5583 Honestly I agree, his whole goal is so cliche too. As you said he really does give off Saturday morning villain vibes. Thanks for the kind feedback man! I’m glad you enjoyed.
