i jUST REALIZED THI S BU T

I WAS WATCHING THE OP FOR BNHA S3 AND I NOTICED THAT

THIS WAS ONE OF THE STILLS THEY USED IN THE INTRO, AND I COULDN’T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT EVERY DIFFERENT STILL WAS AN IMPORTANT MOMENT IN MIDORIYA’S DEVELOPMENT

AND AT FIRST ALL I WENT WAS “lol gay” bUT THEN I FUCKIN STOPPED AND REALIZED THAT THAT EXACT PHOTO IS EXACTLY WHEN MIDORIYA TELLS TODOROKI “It’s your power, isn’t it?” AND I REALIZED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT WHOLE FUCKIN FIGHT FOR MIDORIYA

BECAUSE TODOROKI WASN’T THE ONLY CHARACTER WHO STRUGGLED WITH UNDERSTANDING THAT HIS POWER WAS HIS OWN

THROUGHOUT THE ANIME AT SOME POINTS AND DEFINITELY IN THE MANGA, MIDORIYA IS BEING TAUGHT TO USE ONE FOR ALL DIFFERENTLY FROM ALL MIGHT BECAUSE MIDORIYA CAN’T USE ONE FOR ALL THE SAME WAY THAT ALL MIGHT CAN

AND YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE MIDORIYA STRUGGLES TO SEE ONE FOR ALL AS HIS OWN POWER AND NOT ALL MIGHT’S

PART OF MIDORIYA’S DEVELOPMENT BREAKS DOWN TO HIM BEING ABLE TO REALIZE THAT ONE FOR ALL IS HIS OWN POWER
