![]() ![]() Izuku’s quirkless, which isn’t his fault, but that means he’s constantly told he can’t be the very thing he wants to be. Izuku’s story is relatable because we’ve all had that thing we REALLY wanted to do, but it was impossible for reasons beyond our control. It’s extra frustrating when there’s a “destined to be two sides of the same coin” rival in front of him who he’s been at odds with for years.ĭeku looks up to that rival, though, and that rival, well … you saw the clip, right? This can be frustrating for him when everyone else around him has had years of experience and there are villains showing up at the school to cause trouble. However, Izuku has to take his time with the quirk, and in some cases, figure out how to win without it because it’s too much for him to handle. Initially, I was worried about Izuku getting a quirk because I thought he’d instantly become overpowered like All Might. This, um, gets called into question sometimes because our protagonist is a child with a quirk his body can’t handle. All Might says it all the time, along with the words Go Beyond, meaning that you have to go further than what you think you can reach, push through whatever’s stopping you, and all the inspirational hero stuff you’re probably used to the mentor character saying. I should probably mention that Plus Ultra is the main catchphrase you’ll hear throughout the series. This encourages All Might to tell Izuku that he was wrong, he really can be a hero, so much so that he’s worthy of obtaining his quirk. This reminds All Might of the true meaning of being a hero- going beyond to save lives, no matter how scared you might be. Izuku’s just about to toss his notebook-filled dreams in the trash when one of those “this will decide your fate” moments presents itself, his body moving on its own to save his childhood friend/rival/that spiky-haired kid in the opening who’s destined to be connected to him because shonen anime. He actually tells Izuku to give up on his dream because there’s no way a quirkless boy could handle the brutality of the hero world. It turns out All Might’s been keeping a huge secret: he was injured in a battle, the damage so detrimental to his health that he can only do hero work for 3 hours a day. After a chance meeting with All Might, the desire to become a hero is, well, kinda crushed by that perfect smile Izuku would collect trading cards of. ![]() That doesn’t stop him from having the hefty goal of attending U.A., the hero academy that his idol, and number one hero, All Might attended in his youth. For Izuku Midoriya, becoming a hero feels like an impossible dream because he was born without a quirk. ![]()
