If this is all true, this is truly a masterpiece of art. A modern retelling of an ancient story using modern concepts like superheroes and societal oppression. Absolutely genius. However I would say that Momo is the best fit for Athena. She’s got a brilliant tactical mind and is looked to by the rest of class 1-A as a role model. She’s definitely the Athena of this story.
Whats a masterpiece is being original.I am not saying its bad to borrrow some refrences from history but it definatly isn't any glowing points.Sry for bad english.
Generally speaking almost all hero universes borrow HEAVILY from mythology. The entire concept of superheroes is just a modernisation of the oldschool mythological stories. Gods and demigods and mythological stories connected to them is stories of morality and life's lessons - superheroes generally serve the same role in modern society. They are often paragons of what one should "strive" to be. Look at almost any superhero universe and you can start picking out the roles specific heroes serve and what mythological sources that they represent. The most commonly used myth in superhero fiction is the Greek pantheon, the Norse, the Japanese and the Abrahamic.

Exactly. Seven deadly sins: Arthurian legend MHA: Greek/Roman Mythology Deathnote: Japanese inspired demons Demon Slayer: Japanese inspired Demons There are more examples but my brain just went "lol what's anime" so oof.
Take Star Wars, for example, the whole thing where Deku would lose to Shigaraki then come back, Luke lost to Darth Vader in Ep 5, then 'defeated' him in Ep 6. Actually, wait a sec... Iida is fast, Han Solo flies a space ship that travels at light speed... Luke gets a Light Saber from Obi-Wan and Deku gets OFA from All Might... Guys, I think it's more possible that MHA was based off Star Wars, going by this logic it'll be revealed that Uraraka is Deku's sister, and she will go on to be with Iida. And Deku will train a new generation of heroes and have one of them go all evil on him after some dude with no hair (UJIKO!?) turns them evil again... Guys the future story of MHA isn't lookin' so bright...
So you're conflicted that this is inspired by Greek Mythology? It's called inspiration. There are no new stories. But since we're equating characters to the greek gods does that make Bakugo Ares?
Naw Bakugou's better than Ares And maybe Todoroki's Poseidon? Dunno, can't really directly compare any two characters Since the characters are what makes mha so unique and different. So it'll prob differ some between the tale. Ain't gonna think about it too too much since there's lotta possibilities here + ofa & afo!!!
Bro almost every main protagonist in anime have girls falling for them like hot cakes MHA is horikoshi literally states i quote MHA base on star wars and the avenger's trope this just a conscience even decku origin kind of like spidermans if this was base on greek mythology how come horikoshi didnt say it was base of it. Huh
The only thing that he said that made no sense is the fact he didn't make a connect between dekus shoot style and the fact that zues get he legs damaged it'd make way more sense that dekus leg get decayed then have his power being stolen

I've watched through this one several times on several occasions, and I think that you're missing something with Athena's correlation. I think that once you disregard gender, the character that personifies war, strategy, (and is rather vindictive) is Bakuguo.

In that sense, mineta would be base on dionysus, god of wine and debauchery.

Also dionysus was shown to be good to immobilise people with is vine and that's what mineta is good at.
Me: *watches this because of my fascination with Ancient Greek Myths and my obsession with Percy Jackson* Also me: *hears the Deku is Zeus part* My mind: *making more theories that my actual self can’t say out loud because they sound better in my head*
@Katsuki Bakugou true, probably only thing is consider shitty is, he did was kidnap Persephone, well, compare to his siblings, the dude is more like that quiet guys who stays mostly home while the 2 of his little brothers Zeus and Poseidon go around making drama and fuck everything that walks on 2 or 4 legs
I think Yaoyarozu fits Athena the best. She’s stated has a one of the most intelligent and strategic students in 1-A. Plus she’s class president so she no doubt could rally the other heroes if Deku has to rely on them
mythology is public domain, so i see no problem with that. and besides there are many other popular anime/manga that did the same and got away with it. just give one piece for example, where several fables and myths were borrowed and had been major parts of the story. dragonball was heavily inspired from journey to the west, naruto took elements from Kojiki and Buddhism and more... so on and so forth... and yea i think its a very COMMON thing.
Ares god of war(weapons and explosives included) They're loud, angry, good at beating and blowing shit up and has been kidnapped, but rescued by their friends
i think Bakugo is Hephaestus, the fire god. He and Zeus were known for not getting along well. There's also the theory that he gets sent back in time to become the second wielder of One For All, before passing it on to some guy who vaguely resembles Red Riot, which parallels Hephaestus giving his own power to mortals.
If you mean the God of War Kratos, he is largely fictional so not a part of actual mythology. However a god named Cratos does exist in mythology, the god of strength. He is a brother of Nike, who is the goddess of victory, Bia (goddess of force) and Zelus (zeal). Realistically, Kacchan is a culmination of all four of them. His name literally means victory, he is strong af and forceful, and zeal meaning "great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective." (chasing for number one) it does fit if he is supposed to be all four. The Cratos of real greek mythology is brutal and merciless (least has that in common with video game Kratos) however he is also an advocate for Zeus. The four siblings are effectively agents of Zeus. Cratos also mocks Hephaestus and Prometheus a lot though and Kacchan does mock basically everyone. Also for the game, they didn't actually base their Kratos on the existing god, cuz they didn't know he was a thing. They chose the name at a late stage in development, once Kratos was already fleshed out, and named him after the greek word that means Strength. So really it's more so coincidental that they share the name.
Dude i f***ing love your theory! Thats awesome, great grinding of stories and characters. I'll definitely reading incoming chapters with this theory in mind. Good observation!
Ok so this is genius and with the recent events of the manga I think I know a bit of things: First Twice is no longer an option but with the panel of chapter 288 and Toga's confrontation woth Uraraka if Uraraka chooses her words wisely Toga may side the heroes because the only thing Toga had against the was "their boring life" and she joined the leauge because of how much she admired stain, but not his beliefes. Now for Athena I think it's Bakugo since he's trying to find atonment in all the shot he did by helping Deku and saving him from Shigaraki, he also helped irishima seeing him as an equal. I agree Hermes being Hawks but I can´t shae the fact that he illed Twice and even when he saw the good in Twice and how he cared for people, he still killed him with no hesitation at all. Eri being Pan seems really close, but idk how Aizawa (Eri's father figure) loosing his leg would affect her because with all the psicological abuse she went through she could think she was guilty for not being able to help, thing that culd make her loose control once again. Now it's incredible how this theory is extremely close towhats happening in the manga rn (10 months later) great analysis (there may be a lot of grammar/spelling errors since english isn't my forst language)
I am watching this several month after this first came out and love some of the points that were made. I honestly believe that bakugo is the representation of Athena in My hero academia. He is a bit volatile like the goddess but is also a strategic genius when he steps up. He is trying to make up for the way he treated deku so if deku does go down bakugo is going to be the one to pick him back up again. He helped kirishima reach his potential by recognizing him as his equal. I saw someone put that bakugo is more like aries the god of war but athena is also a war god. Aries is the more negative side of war while athena is the more positive side. She even has Nike by her side aka the goddess of victory
Hmmm in that theory bakugou could be Poseidón with his temper, he Is very reactive and competitive with zeus and todoroki being hades, one of the most chill with daddy issues AND difficulty to interact with others (of course pre tournament todoroki) Is quite fitting
I doubt the big 3 gods are the big 3 of class 1A it seems that in a way it is All Might = who is Zeus Endeavor = Poseidon Aizawa = Hades Mirio = Herc Deku = ? Bakugou = ares ibara= dionysus Hermes = iida Tyche = Gentle villain gigantomachia = cerebus Not sure here but nyx = kurogiri
After hearing this I'm officially a subscriber I honestly had goosebumps like most of everything you said somehow made since that I see this anime differently now thx❤💯
I can't help to feel like Bakugou should be portrait as Athena. I mean, he is the one (besides All Might) that inspired Deku to be stronger since they were kids and Deku said it when they both fought after All Might vs All for one. He is also source of inspiration for Kirishima, as he also said in the pool episode. Besides, Bakugou is an actual genius in everything he does, both in battle and in terms of inteligence. Of course, his personality seems to overshadow these traits for most people... I mean, he is a fucking brat, but even that can be an exaggerated parallel to Athena's personality. I agree with everything else though. When you connected Kirishima's mask and hair to Hercules i had the biggest revelation moment ever.
Hypothetically speaking, instead of Deku losing his quirk by those bullets, what if he was beaten so badly (and if possible lost his quirk as well), All Might saw that Deku needed to be saved or he would die by Shigaraki's decay, All Might sacrifices himself into a gruesome death (like Nighteye predicted) while Hawks/someone else forces Deku to flee while witnessing all of this happen?
I think it's cool - I like this! And it gives a trajectory of where the story might go (plus it's also just fun to speculate) This was a really great video btw ^^
It is easy to miss because it is always there. Adding another layer of Greek myth influence to a work in a genre already heavily influenced by Greek myth (super heroes) makes My Hero Academia a Russian nesting doll of mythic influences.
This video... it’s amazing, it’s something else, and watching it after reading the recent manga chapters, it’s amazing how spot on this is! And it’s weird bc the OC I’m working in for BNHA, when introduced, always makes allusions to Greek Mythology and kind of fits into this interpretation 😅
There's also when Tartarus in Mha (the prison) had two people from Greek mythology guarding it. I can't remember their names but they had like 10 arms and the characters in the story did also.
Wait a second... What if Athena ISN'T supposed be connected to Uraraka? *What if Athena is actually supposed to be NANA SHIMURA?* It's actually fitting, and I always imagined Nana appearing to Deku in one of those OFA dreams to be the one to motivate him after Deku loses the fight against Shigaraki. It fits perfectly!
"His father Cronos" *shows pic of Chronos, God of Time* Gaia also raised Zues during the time after his mother tricked Cronos into eating a rock in his place, allowing to grow up and defeat him. and the Hecatoncheires were part of a race referred to as Centimanes, different than giants, they helped overthrow the Titans and were created during the time of the Primordials. the 12 Labours were to atone for Heracles murdering his family, and the king who gave him the tasks never expected him to complete the labours. everything else was pretty accurate.
Shigaraki is the one who takes care of the outcasts of Society and you guys are saying that twice is only good guy in league and they use him and deku should save him? First, hero Side should face the flaws of society
Isn't the doctor who told deku that he didn't have a quirk, the same one who worked with all for one to create nomu? It's given rise to the theory that deku's quirk was stolen.
@@Merilirem if anything, that doctor should be sued for emotional distress against a minor. Cuz if you really think about it, all the bullying Izuku had to endure was because of him and how the society is in the My Hero world.
@@RashaundaSpears The doctor did not do anything wrong as far as we know for certain. Doctors are not generally held accountable for societal issues. Even if he was responsible for Izuku losing his quirk its not like he didn't have bigger things going on. A lawsuit is hardly a big deal for him. As far as being a normal doctor its not like he did anything but tell the child he lacked a quirk. You can't sue people for telling you the truth when you ask them.
Ares god of war(weapons and explosives included) They're loud, angry, good at beating and blowing shit up and has been kidnapped, but rescued by their friends
the retelling of a tale as old as tales in a new, interesting world using a different medium to tell it is amazing. many tales that survive the passage of time do so because they stick to this sort of pattern that aparently everyone loves. The fact that horikoshi has the talent and knowledge to spin greekmyth parallels into his writting while still making his characters unique and consistant says how good a writer he is. It's easy say "next arc is going to be the titanomacy" but for it to match your world and for your characters to stay within their parameters, it requires unquestionable skill.
I didn’t know any of this. This just made me respect this show so much more like the levels of this writing just goes to show why this show stands out amongst the rest👏🏾
From how you described Athena, having to be someone who inspires Deku to work harder, who helps kiri, and can be vindictive and malicious, I really thought you were going to say Bakugo
If Deku is Zeus, then he needs to cheat on more goddesses.
if deku is zeus he needs to turn into a girl to frick his own underage student. Zeus is wayyy tooo weird to be deku.

@@iumz4253 nah hades really isn’t a bad guy like he’s made out to be. AFO is Kronos, the lord of the Titans who the gods defeated and replaced.
@Katsuki Bakugou true, probably only thing is consider shitty is, he did was kidnap Persephone, well, compare to his siblings, the dude is more like that quiet guys who stays mostly home while the 2 of his little brothers Zeus and Poseidon go around making drama and fuck everything that walks on 2 or 4 legs

I really wanna see a my greek academia. Also this channel is godly
Imaging a Greek mythology anime is be down to watch that
Yes, yes, yes please
There was a cartoon show like that called Class of the Titans. It was about descendants of greek mythological heroes training to be heroes.
You really wanna see that much tom fuckery? Zeus Deku alone would need about 5 upgrades to the content rating.

Every female in the show: *panics*
Zeus was at least bisexual

I made the Greek mythology comparison ages ago. The entire superhero genre is modern mythology.
I can see it
I think Yaoyarozu fits Athena the best. She’s stated has a one of the most intelligent and strategic students in 1-A. Plus she’s class president so she no doubt could rally the other heroes if Deku has to rely on them
"This is not for anime only viewers"
*proceeds to spoil parts of story that even the manga editors probably dont know*
i mean they are just theories
mythology is public domain, so i see no problem with that. and besides there are many other popular anime/manga that did the same and got away with it.
just give one piece for example, where several fables and myths were borrowed and had been major parts of the story. dragonball was heavily inspired from journey to the west, naruto took elements from Kojiki and Buddhism and more... so on and so forth...
and yea i think its a very COMMON thing.
this is so dam true. I read percy jacson and heroes of oltympus so I understand all of this Im excited to see where BNHA is heading in the future.
I love it
So who is greek equivalent of the great *Lord Explosion Murder* ?
Ares god of war(weapons and explosives included)
They're loud, angry, good at beating and blowing shit up and has been kidnapped, but rescued by their friends
Definitely ares, also hatsume is hephaestus
@@adityasundaram3602 Ares was a joke.

What-
Correction Deku's in the middle of kicking shigiraki's ass, we dont know if he's down for the count or not
@@ghostlys_graveyard same difference 🤷🏾♂️
He was kicking Shigaraki's ass but then some Ofa and afo stuff happened and now we gotta wait until next week
*update* chapter 289:
OMG deh war is ending! (maybe)
if deku is “zues”
kacchan should be “kratos”
he always yells deku name like that , so imagine him going like dat
i think Bakugo is Hephaestus, the fire god. He and Zeus were known for not getting along well. There's also the theory that he gets sent back in time to become the second wielder of One For All, before passing it on to some guy who vaguely resembles Red Riot, which parallels Hephaestus giving his own power to mortals.
If you mean the God of War Kratos, he is largely fictional so not a part of actual mythology. However a god named Cratos does exist in mythology, the god of strength. He is a brother of Nike, who is the goddess of victory, Bia (goddess of force) and Zelus (zeal). Realistically, Kacchan is a culmination of all four of them. His name literally means victory, he is strong af and forceful, and zeal meaning "great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective." (chasing for number one) it does fit if he is supposed to be all four.
The Cratos of real greek mythology is brutal and merciless (least has that in common with video game Kratos) however he is also an advocate for Zeus. The four siblings are effectively agents of Zeus. Cratos also mocks Hephaestus and Prometheus a lot though and Kacchan does mock basically everyone.
Also for the game, they didn't actually base their Kratos on the existing god, cuz they didn't know he was a thing. They chose the name at a late stage in development, once Kratos was already fleshed out, and named him after the greek word that means Strength. So really it's more so coincidental that they share the name.
I'd say, Kacchan is Ares, the God of War, whereas Hephaestos is represented by Hatsume and Mr. Powerloader.
@@biggsdarklighter0473 Momo could work too
@@biggsdarklighter0473 Bakugo is more like Hades
Dude i f***ing love your theory! Thats awesome, great grinding of stories and characters. I'll definitely reading incoming chapters with this theory in mind. Good observation!
That Mina in the thumbnail though....
Yeah I’d love a source if they have it.
@@deismaccountant same
Ok so this is genius and with the recent events of the manga I think I know a bit of things:
First Twice is no longer an option but with the panel of chapter 288 and Toga's confrontation woth Uraraka if Uraraka chooses her words wisely Toga may side the heroes because the only thing Toga had against the was "their boring life" and she joined the leauge because of how much she admired stain, but not his beliefes.
Now for Athena I think it's Bakugo since he's trying to find atonment in all the shot he did by helping Deku and saving him from Shigaraki, he also helped irishima seeing him as an equal.
I agree Hermes being Hawks but I can´t shae the fact that he illed Twice and even when he saw the good in Twice and how he cared for people, he still killed him with no hesitation at all.
Eri being Pan seems really close, but idk how Aizawa (Eri's father figure) loosing his leg would affect her because with all the psicological abuse she went through she could think she was guilty for not being able to help, thing that culd make her loose control once again.
Now it's incredible how this theory is extremely close towhats happening in the manga rn (10 months later) great analysis
(there may be a lot of grammar/spelling errors since english isn't my forst language)
Would you look at that, we Greeks find our way into anything. I'm not surprised. 😌👌

@@loriehill6956 I know, what a loonie.

Yooo you just made the fandom even more thirsty for mina 👁👃👁💬
And now I hate them for it
Yep
I am watching this several month after this first came out and love some of the points that were made.
I honestly believe that bakugo is the representation of Athena in My hero academia. He is a bit volatile like the goddess but is also a strategic genius when he steps up. He is trying to make up for the way he treated deku so if deku does go down bakugo is going to be the one to pick him back up again.
He helped kirishima reach his potential by recognizing him as his equal.
I saw someone put that bakugo is more like aries the god of war but athena is also a war god.
Aries is the more negative side of war while athena is the more positive side. She even has Nike by her side aka the goddess of victory
I think he is both, but seeing his chaotic attitude Aries god fits him better
I think Athena is Momo
This is such a great analysis. Thanks for your time and for putting this together.
Brilliant video , one of the best on the series yet
I'm already caught up with the manga, but my Lord what have I gotten into🤯
I F*ckin love this show ಥ‿ಥ
So far the anime has been disappointing
@@broly425 for you
Watching this after being caught up on manga (285) and dam real close my guy
Every other Shonen creator : 😤 This means war!
lol
If deku is Zeus, are Bakugou and Todoroki Poseidon and Hades?
Anime Lover - Nicole we’ll fire and ice do make water...and bakugo is just...hades
Bakugou would be more of Ares, got of war and anger management; Hades is closer to Aizawa! The Todoroki as a Poseidon parallel would work very well.
@@stpuidoman5701 hades is pretty chill in greek mithos...unlike what disney will have you believe
Hmmm in that theory bakugou could be Poseidón with his temper, he Is very reactive and competitive with zeus and todoroki being hades, one of the most chill with daddy issues AND difficulty to interact with others (of course pre tournament todoroki) Is quite fitting
I doubt the big 3 gods are the big 3 of class 1A it seems that in a way it is
All Might = who is Zeus
Endeavor = Poseidon
Aizawa = Hades
Mirio = Herc
Deku = ?
Bakugou = ares
ibara= dionysus
Hermes = iida
Tyche = Gentle villain
gigantomachia = cerebus
Not sure here but nyx = kurogiri
After hearing this I'm officially a subscriber I honestly had goosebumps like most of everything you said somehow made since that I see this anime differently now thx❤💯
Heh I just finished watching Greek mythology videos and yesterday I binged MHA to be up to date. Nice timing
Toru Hagakure would be Hestia, the friendly and rarely-seen Olympian.
Yup definitely
I can't help to feel like Bakugou should be portrait as Athena. I mean, he is the one (besides All Might) that inspired Deku to be stronger since they were kids and Deku said it when they both fought after All Might vs All for one.
He is also source of inspiration for Kirishima, as he also said in the pool episode.
Besides, Bakugou is an actual genius in everything he does, both in battle and in terms of inteligence. Of course, his personality seems to overshadow these traits for most people... I mean, he is a fucking brat, but even that can be an exaggerated parallel to Athena's personality.
I agree with everything else though. When you connected Kirishima's mask and hair to Hercules i had the biggest revelation moment ever.
F no, Athena is better than Baku.

9:45 Ok, up until this point I was kinda iffy, but now you’ve got my attention and intrigue.
Hypothetically speaking, instead of Deku losing his quirk by those bullets, what if he was beaten so badly (and if possible lost his quirk as well), All Might saw that Deku needed to be saved or he would die by Shigaraki's decay, All Might sacrifices himself into a gruesome death (like Nighteye predicted) while Hawks/someone else forces Deku to flee while witnessing all of this happen?
"gigantomachia vs kirishima": EXCUSE ME? PLEASE DONT KILL MY BABY!
I’m with you there
I think it's cool - I like this! And it gives a trajectory of where the story might go (plus it's also just fun to speculate)
This was a really great video btw ^^
I cant believe I never notices the similarities
Sameeee! and i love Greek mythology!!! I feel so dumb now ..... damn
It is easy to miss because it is always there. Adding another layer of Greek myth influence to a work in a genre already heavily influenced by Greek myth (super heroes) makes My Hero Academia a Russian nesting doll of mythic influences.

This video... it’s amazing, it’s something else, and watching it after reading the recent manga chapters, it’s amazing how spot on this is! And it’s weird bc the OC I’m working in for BNHA, when introduced, always makes allusions to Greek Mythology and kind of fits into this interpretation 😅
There's also when Tartarus in Mha (the prison) had two people from Greek mythology guarding it. I can't remember their names but they had like 10 arms and the characters in the story did also.
Great video... right up until the random claims of copying and plagiarism.
I appreciate you giving my boy Kirishima his due! #trueMC
One For All really makes you FEEL like Zeus
Wait a second...
What if Athena ISN'T supposed be connected to Uraraka?
*What if Athena is actually supposed to be NANA SHIMURA?*
It's actually fitting, and I always imagined Nana appearing to Deku in one of those OFA dreams to be the one to motivate him after Deku loses the fight against Shigaraki.
It fits perfectly!
Omg you predicted the vestige of nana shinura keeping ofa from getting stolen
A year and half later, you really did a great job of predicting the future.

I think its awesome that he did this because its a great interpertation for the modern world with a slice of history.
"His father Cronos"
*shows pic of Chronos, God of Time*
Gaia also raised Zues during the time after his mother tricked Cronos into eating a rock in his place, allowing to grow up and defeat him.
and the Hecatoncheires were part of a race referred to as Centimanes, different than giants, they helped overthrow the Titans and were created during the time of the Primordials.
the 12 Labours were to atone for Heracles murdering his family, and the king who gave him the tasks never expected him to complete the labours.
everything else was pretty accurate.

God no, the heroes did nothing for him, they don't deserve best boy
@@reira402 who knows, maybe deku will change his heart like he does with probably everything else lmao
Shigaraki is the one who takes care of the outcasts of Society and you guys are saying that twice is only good guy in league and they use him and deku should save him? First, hero Side should face the flaws of society
same!
Did anyone else think of Bakugou when Athena came up? Goddess of warfare/strategy, kinda vindictive, inspirational to Deku and Kirishima?
Very cool video!!! I'm a big fan of MHA and greek mythology and you bringing these parallels forward really made me think.
Damn this is pretty epic
Isn't the doctor who told deku that he didn't have a quirk, the same one who worked with all for one to create nomu?
It's given rise to the theory that deku's quirk was stolen.
Yep
That gives rise to a lot of theories tbh. It even goes as far as the "AFO is Deku's daddy" theory with the Doctor being his family doctor.
@@Merilirem if anything, that doctor should be sued for emotional distress against a minor. Cuz if you really think about it, all the bullying Izuku had to endure was because of him and how the society is in the My Hero world.
@@RashaundaSpears The doctor did not do anything wrong as far as we know for certain. Doctors are not generally held accountable for societal issues.
Even if he was responsible for Izuku losing his quirk its not like he didn't have bigger things going on. A lawsuit is hardly a big deal for him.
As far as being a normal doctor its not like he did anything but tell the child he lacked a quirk. You can't sue people for telling you the truth when you ask them.
Wow impressive theory but were does Bakugo fit in?
Ares god of war(weapons and explosives included)
They're loud, angry, good at beating and blowing shit up and has been kidnapped, but rescued by their friends
Ares?? Achilles??
Athena. Inspiring Deku. Helping Kirishima. Being known for holding grudges, being smart and good at strategy.
@@crisromero7376 Oh Athena is so perfect for him.
the retelling of a tale as old as tales in a new, interesting world using a different medium to tell it is amazing. many tales that survive the passage of time do so because they stick to this sort of pattern that aparently everyone loves. The fact that horikoshi has the talent and knowledge to spin greekmyth parallels into his writting while still making his characters unique and consistant says how good a writer he is. It's easy say "next arc is going to be the titanomacy" but for it to match your world and for your characters to stay within their parameters, it requires unquestionable skill.
I never would have thought of this until I saw this, but you make a lot of good points. I very much like the comparison of Twice to the Hecatoncheires
If anybody had to be Athena I'd say it's yoayurozu for the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy aspect

From how you described Athena, having to be someone who inspires Deku to work harder, who helps kiri, and can be vindictive and malicious, I really thought you were going to say Bakugo
