    Oh, right, for all those have gotten into MHA recently, you probably haven't seen this but it's a fun little hole to go down. It's from 4chan, so provided you can tune that out it's good for some entertainment.

    It's an collection of images of speculation about who the traitor is.

    Edit: My apologies, as I have been reminded and should have warned others in advance, there is a lot of offensive slurs in this.

    People have forever thought Kaminari might be the traitor since it probably makes the most sense out of the entire class 1-A cast. But also I don't think that plotline has been touched in ages.

    Hey uh that 4chan post straight up uses a bunch of slurs? That sucks and a more clear warning would be appreciated

    I've heard that, but i've also heard that the author forgot about the plotline statement was made up. So who knows!?

    He got hit by all for one, and his power was given to Overclock

    I mean unless they reveal another villain that can transfer quirks.

    Wow.

    Those Bell Fine statues look amazing!

    The first MHA statue/figure I saw was a weird looking Izuku. Can't remember what company did it, but it turned me away from even considering any MHA statues.

    Shame these aren't figmas though, but considering the figma Izuku looks weird maybe for the better.

    I think I might try to get one of these if I can save the money. However this might not be the best rabbit hole to jump in given the price.

    I just really love the effects on the bases.

    a lot of the female characters are extremely cool and don't really get their due

    Uraraka was set up as a major character and has more or less completely fallen off, though I will say I think Iida got hit with that too

    They definitely seem to respond to fan feedback more than other shows on which characters to feature based on existing popularity.

    Some Editors rely on fan polls( cough bleachcough). MHA is a hit but they arent gonna let a guy who got lucky early completely dictate his story.

    The new spinoff might be a solution that makes everyone happy though

    They also introduced a LOT of characters very early on, and never really stopped.

    Most of the time I’m convinced at least half the characters exist solely because the writers like coming up with ridiculous heroes/quirks

    I feel like I kind of knew a few Bakugo-types - although obviously not as exaggerated - growing up.

    One positive note about Bakugo is he’s a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type. He’s not a character who’s deceptive and he’ll let you know exactly what he thinks of you. I can sort of see the appeal of that for some.

    (I’m not excusing him though! Plus he’s fictional so he needs no apologies).

    Also compared to a lot of similar characters in anime he's actually earned a lot of his confidence in his abilities. He's good at what he does. He's just a real shithead about it. Kind of like Endeavour.
    There but for the grace of Best Jeanist.
