decoding the universe and society of my hero academia to how its represented in our real world, scary as it is...
The ultimate analysis video on Boku no Hero Academia now that season 2 is ending, this is what i believe to be the reasoning behind why MHA makes you feel like it does, the representation and metaphor behind Deku Todoroki Bakugou Shinsou All Might Endeavor Stain and society in general
this is an untouched topic by other anime analysts like Digibro, Explanation Point or The Pedantic Romantic being that it deconstructs the story in a way you never saw...
I actually liked Shinzo before I even knew of his backstory. His character design caught my eye and instantly peaked my interest.
"And it's also the type of opening that you will never see on Mother's Basement's channel because of it's simplistic beauty."
Check Mother's Basement's channel. XD
The joke totally hits the mark, and I got half of my very good chuckle from the subtle burn, but the other half of the chuckle came from the irony that Mother's Basement has recently released a multi-part analysis of the HeroAca OPs.
SuperCaleb283 same ;D
they did an analysys of the openings in the end XD
yeah they did it nine days later
I found this video because of that multi-part OP analysis done by Mother's Basement lmao
And he revealed that they have quite a bit of symbolism in them. Especially the third one.
You know I'm in the minority with manga and anime where I never put myself into the character to be him. Even with like the MC from Monster Musume I consider him his own character. Anyone else like this?
Not actually "to be him". That's only a form that people use to express how believable the character is. If you can imagine your self in the same situation or, at least, in a similar situation (disregarding of the particularities of the manga's universe), this character does a good job in being believable.
It's not like someone thinks that they were Deku. But that they can relate to some of his struggles, and draw parallels with themselves.
Definitely me. May people say they think they need to identify with characters in order to like them. I never understood that. I think they have to be well-built and have depth, but not be "relatable". My favorite character in Inglourious Basterds is the Nazzi commander portrayed by Christoph Waltz, because he's by far the deepest, most complex and most interesting character (together with the overwhelmingly best actor) in the movie. However, he's a total monster and I can't at all relate to him. Still my favorite character in that movie.
I don't know. The way he puts it, it almost sounds like Deku is supposed to be a sort of Mary Sue, totally empty and void of character so the audience can put themselves in his shoes without any effort. I really don't think he's like that at all. And he's certainly not my favorite character in the story (those being Shouto Todoroki and Uraraka). Actually, I like Deku but I find him quite unrelatable. He's way too good for me to really relate to him. All Might is far more interesting a character.
DrangC0 Bex I don't relate it's more like "stop doing this and wasting my time. I don't want this filler, just adapt the chapters already!"
DrangC0 Bex I am
Bakugo is not the smartest in the class Momo is
Edward Hahm nope that's Ilda
Edward Hahm yep
Bakugo got first in the mid terms, Momo got second and Tenya got third. Bakugo is the smartest.
Luca uhhh no momo got 1st
froyo gogo It's literally in one of the episodes
Nux Taku: You'll never see this opening on Mother's Basement's channel.
Mother's Basement: biTCH YOU THOUGHT
"They're something you'd never see on Mother's basement"-literally *one* week later he uploads said video xD
Nah I always loved Shinso and I thought that the fact that Midoriya won was total bullshit
Just pure main character plot armour
Todoroki is my favourite character but Shinso is a close second
Sinso use only his quirk for that he lost.. He have a strong quirk but have limits.. He must become stronger.. Like deku
Nah I'm from the manga side so I'll just leave the fact here that there is more to dekus quirk than meets the eye and this was a foreshadow to it. It also kinda makes sense since the previous users don't want mind control to use the quirk for wrong purposes(all for one would just need mind control to beat all might then)
Eraser head even stated that without quirks deku would still beat shinso because deku is physically stronger than shinso at that time
In the moment, totally a deus ex machina, but it was a good introduction into the inner mechanics of One for All.
are you all might's secret son
Deku aRe yoU aLL mIgHts sEcrect lOvE chiLd????
*INSERT TUMBLR HERE!!!!*
I am his secret love child!
Deku love child but whatever
No
"and its also the type of opening you will never see on mother's basement's channel due to its simplistic beauty"
oh boy
Wait...people hated Shinsou?
...But whyyy?
-----------------------------------
But yeah, about the U.A hero entrance exam, didn't Deku say in the first episode that U.A was accepting Quirkless people into the Hero Course? Talk about lethal lip-talk, a normal person would've been horribly injured, if not dead.
Juho Tapojärvi I honestly dont believe him there is not a single hero without a quirk.
So, I'm unclear on something. Are people with quirks (no matter what the quirk is) supposed to be more durable than people without? Against certain quirk users, Eraser Head is essentially quirkless, yet he's still a hero. Then there's Stain, who pulls off inhuman feats of agility without a quirk, making hard to tell if it's the "training relaxes the suspension of disbelief" comic book-ism or an inherent trait of quirks.
*+Jordan Barkley* Personally, I don't think so, considering Knuckleduster, and I think that him, along with Aizawa and Stain are simply at the tippy-top of regular human performance.
*+christopher craphe* *Cough **_Knuckleduster_** Cough*
Jordan Barkley it’s says people with quirks are “streamlined” versions of humans so yes they have better bodies
froyo gogo What episode (or chapter) was that in?
Since I was a 5 year old I started watching anime and I do not understand anything but naruto inspired me to learn to read in English subtitles see parents there is nothing wrong with anime. Since I started watching naruto since the first episode that does not mean I was born in 1999 or when it comes out and now boruto. Now I am between 10 and 15.
Themonkey gang anime helps me too with my english, I'm even reading my hero academia in english x)
Filthy...weeb? Filthy weeb?! FILTHY WEEB?!
I'll have you know that I am no 'filthy weeb'! I take a shower once a month, thank you very much!
I hate it when people talk about this type of story and say its trying to tell us that it is all about determination and with enough effort/hard work anyone can make it. The show begins with the very real fact that not everyone can make it no matter how hard they try. But this fact is then shown to more of a generality than an end all be all for those not born with the money or opportunities to succeed in a way that involves luck. Deku was never going to succeed if it wasn't for the luck he had in meeting All Might and being able to impress him as a quirkless nobody like he himself once was. Deku didn't earn the power of One for All and wouldn't have gotten anywhere without it, no matter how determined or hardworking he would have been. I understand that he had to work extremely hard to learn how to properly use the power to advance as an aspiring hero, but it is the potential that matters and he didn't have any potential to be a hero before his lucky encounter with All Might. Bottom line, if Deku never met All Might, his story would have been a series of depressing realization that if you don't have the potential for greatness, you will never achieve your unrealistic dreams.
Jeremy Figueroa This is true. But Deku’s determination is one of the things that caught all mights eye. All Might basically tells Deku that no amount of determination alone can make you a hero. But because of that determination I’m going to help you. So what the show says you need to become nobility is luck connections and determination. Determination being the biggest factor.
Determination is an important factor when trying to accomplish any goal, be it changing social status or getting the highest marks on a test. Everyone runs into obstacles, but having the drive, the determination, to either overpower those obstacles (i.e. cramming) or find a creative solution (i.e. cheating) is why we are able to overcome them. Even seemingly random things like luck or connections can be influenced with enough effort and determination. Probably
It wasn’t luck. Young midoriya showed me what a true hero was again. His actions showed me he should have this power
Opportunities are out there but only those who are prepared get it.
@@ahat4046 Exactly
For those who read the spin off of boku no hero academia,vigilante:boku no hero academia illegal,stain was a vigilante who kills villian,but when he had a fight with nuckle duster and loss,he change his mindset against heros and decided to kill them instead of being a vigilante against villian
TheTheoristCollecter yeh
TheTheoristCollecter Yeah Knucleduster essentially created Stain
Stain still dislikes villains
Stop saying that Deku is the viewer. I don't imprint myself on the character, the character imprints themselves on me. I don't want to be Deku or any character for that matter. I watch because I want to see Deku grow and be the hero he wants to be. I don't want to be Deku because I'm me.
I mean but ultimately that's like saying you could imprint your own struggles onto any character in the universe, so it becomes kinda a non-issue ...
you are Deku you loser
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 You're a loser
The type of opening you’ll never see on mother’s basement’s channel
:(
Nux: You relate with this character.
Me: I just want a good story, with great character development, and no filler episodes, or fanservice.
Dont watch naruto then
I'm literally dead a week later Mother's Basement makes a video on the openings
That's kind of a really bad interpretation in regards to deku and what he represents. He isn't intended to be some escapist shallow character that represents the people in the audience, but rather the series follows an interesting and complex character on a personal level, and his experiences are simply things that the audience can empathize with. This doesn't mean that the audience is meant to be him, it's just good writing and character depth.
yeah it should be watch as someone's journey from zero to hero, not really something the audience can input themselves, just something they can empathize. Deku even mention from beginning, retelling how and when he become a pro hero trace back as a student thus the series being called 'My Hero Academia'. Plus he actually retelling events that *happened* while being a student at his dream school. notice the narrator is always deku and no one else. Even in manga the narrator use first person narration.
not really a story audience can see themselves as Deku, just listening or reading Deku's experience. It does use like any Shounen manga or anime's tactic 'follow the MC's journey to their goal' but the way MHA used it more to reading a story that already happen, not something we and MC going on a journey together like other animes do.
i mean the way the story is now, he's still tracing back his journey, not even close to the situation he's facing cuz i remember watch the anime S1 Ep 1 Deku alone facing villains that we still don't know how many. until then, we still in the past.
I think that it is because Deku is a complex character that more people, as an audience, can relate to him. After all, we are all complex and interesting people ourselves. I agree that Deku is not your typical male shounen protagonist, but rather than making him less relatable, it makes him more so.
Exactly, but what I think Nux was trying to say was that we aren't supposed to BE deku but to relate to him and have empathy for him
I think you might reading a little too much into it with minorities representing quirks and how it's a story about racism.
It's a series with people with super powers, they state out right that super pwoers are the norm. It is True Shinso's quirk was judged unfairly, but he has the ability to rob someone, anyone, of their will and is in itself a very terrifying thing that can be very easily abused.
Stain's quirk itself wasn't feeble and while he could use poison he made a choice to use the very power that was scorned by others and used it to strike down a society of individuals that were not a 'true' hero, or one who is devoted to being a hero 100%. By that same logic most people would not be a 'true' whatever their profession is unless their entire life was about that one aspect, in short he held others to a standard that he beleived in and attacked all he belived faltered in that.
And referring to Deku and All might as part of the 'upper class' is rather odd to me considering that, at best, I'd say Deku is lower middle class and All might isn't really seen as that extravagant a person.
Over all after watching this video I can see parallels to what your talking about in the story, but they just don't connect to me. This series seems to me like a shonen series with the premise of 'A world where almost everyone has a super power' and fleshing it out and building it up as a world and how people interact with it.
2:33 "It's the type of opening you will NEVER see on Mother's Basement"
That video is there in the corner now, but I'll NEVER see it because I'm tired of him advertising to me every 2 minutes.
Any video that starts with "Tsuna Awakens" I'm going to watch to the end.
Edit: You also addend Natsu's Theme, thank you for that.
Edit2: Music was dope for the whole video and video on itself is also really good. Nice job.
So do you happen to know what the soundtrack is that starts around 6:30? I can't remember and it's driving me crazy T__T
i know right! that ost is so epic
I found that very distracting. I couldn't watch the video properly without humming the theme :///
Rostyslav Pron YES YES YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS KHR
Yessss this is a really good series keep it up and love that tournament arc decode
2:35
That awkward moment when Mother’s Basement now has two whole videos breaking down all three OPs and pointing out all the times Best Girl Toru shows up in them (the first was uploaded a day before this video).
Really like this series i hope you do more :)
Watch me undermind all the hard work you have been doing in a single comment WHERE IS BORUTO ABRIDGED EP.2
goku son where is boruto ep3
goku son no for real tho
in the editing process, thx for the support XD
Stain is neither an anti-hero or a tenacious villain, he's a fallen hero. As such he still has a certain level of chivalry while still being a villain
Deku is ultimately set on a collision course with Bakugo, because Bakugo, a member of the elite class, resents Deku because he feels that this lower class hero only succeeded because of the opportunity that was given to him “unfairly” via a sense of charity, like a sort of quirk affirmative action, only to eventually start coming to terms with the fact that Deku’s determination and hard work were what allowed him to make what he did out of the opportunity he was given. Holy subtle social commentary, Batman.
Flashforward to october. There's a MHA OP video in Mother's Basement's channel.
How about decoding Kiritsugu?
Emiya? Good suggestion
I look forward to the videos you have planned in the decoded series
Woah you weren't lying when you said this might be your best series yet!
1:35 I COULDNT HELP BUT SING AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE SAID
I love your voice and the way your videos are and the info your talking ;)
Great video, very clear, concise and interesting.
Keep up the good work!
now I understand why I relate to bakugo, must be them blue blood, or balls
Shout out to tsuna awakens in the background.
Imo the second opening is the best
a h I see you are a man of taste aswell
But the third one is plus ultra?
E x t r a T....
R u e.
a h that's the worst of the 3
Funny how after you said it would never be on mothers basement it was a week later
Deku does remind me of myself. He's optimisitic, sefless and has a tendencey to go on a tangent whenever he gets excited. He is also a good thinker; Another thing we have in common!
3rd opening is the best opening!
This video is the best way to tell someone why Boku no Hero/My Hero Academia is one of the best shonen anime to start off with...
Omg this was literally one of the greatest videos I've watched concerning HeroAca, really excited for part 2.
“deku is you” me: *literally the same personality type as deku* 👁👄👁
Shinso, Deku, Todoroki and Bakugou are my favourite characters
You’re wayyyyy more analytical than I had previously given you credit for. Sorry for underestimating you dude, but I’m genuinely really impressed. This series should be really fun!!
Something one character mentioned in the manga (I'm one of those people who haven't watched it but have read it) was that even if the heroes are doing it for less than heroic reasons, such as for money or to fuel their ego, they are still doing what heroes do, they still risk their lives saving others. Of course, some to different extents, but nontheless, they do their job, so you can only hate them so much.
Wait are you implying Toderoki's refuses to use his Fire Powers because of "White Guilt"?
I don't need it... I don't need it... I NEEEEEED IT! I WANT IT GIVE IT TO ME
I feel like this video was all over the place. And you might want to change DECODED to EXPLAINED or something. Because decoded makes it sound like most of this wasn't obvious. The only thing I didn't already think of was Stain using poison instead of his Quirk. though to be fair he *had* wanted to be a hero and wants to "cleanse" the fake hero's. But he doesn't see himself as a villain. And few people who are trying to do the right thing, even if misguided, will use poison. Also, if I recall, he failed an entrance exam because his Quirk didn't stand up against the robots. He's possibly also trying to show on some level that his Quirk is just as effective as more directly combat Quirks and poison negates that.
.
Damn I can't remember what anime that ost is from at the end of the video.
One thing about Shinso I don't like is that he used his quirk to get a team for the calvary battle instead of, ya know, asking around, forming a team and saying 'this is what I can do, this is how we can win'.
try to read the manga "Vigilante Boku no Hero Academia Illegals" , it spin off manga of my hro academia and happend few years in the past from the anime
Keep it up I really enjoy this new series
This was really cool and the way you explained it made me actually take a step back and look at the show from a different angle
Pls do a Bakugo only EP! he is my fav character of all times T´T !
I really love this. It’s super cool! and ooooh! Gurren Lagann would be amazing!!! I’m excited~
"Won't see it on Mother's Basement's channel because it's simplicity" and then he did it.
(and he basically says what i said)
Nux Taku just longer winded and somewhat less entertaining.
I don't know if this is a joke but it's plain wrong.
A *VERY* important point in BnHA (well, the aime isn't kind of there yet but it's already obviosu if you know where to look) is taht power on itself means nothing if you don't put effort into it, you have to train, bleed and cry to reach that point. bakugo is awesome because he is anturally awesome and he also trains like crazy. That's why he is so good at everything, his natural ability compliments with stupid levels of effort.
Actually, Deku calls Todoroki on his bullshit and how he is jobbing while everyone else is putting their everything on the fights, taht he is a dick that is shitting over everyone's else efforts.
yes, every anime ever has some element about how hard work is the most important, but the actual evidence says otherwise
What in this series says that these characters aren't working their asses off? It's shown that they're constantly either doing schoolwork or hero work, and (later in the manga) they're always working towards bigger goals (exams, getting their hero licenses, internships) and always trying their best.
To be fair if the person that barely tries is better than you it says a lot.
Wooo published on my birthday
Duuuude! More of this! Great seeing analysis applied to this series!
Kudos for the katekyo hitman reborn music used in the background.
Speak about todoroki, and tournament arc!! :D
OH MY GOSH, THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY !!!!!
This completely counters your fall from grace in your "Deku officially SUCKS" video
Bakugou is not the smartest in the class, he was the number 1 in the class in the entrance exam. He is the third smartest of his class though, one rank above Deku.
AMAZING!
You're analysis skills are really commendable. I'm sure you'll become a very popular youtuber for anime. You've earned my respect and subscription
haha thx man, welcome :)
I love it!! I subscribed!😆👍
2:34 Are you sure about that?
That Reborn! OST brings so much memories...
Do you think mother's basement made an analysis of these OPs out of spite from this?
Probably not but it'd be pretty funny.
little did Nux know, Mother's Basement did all of the ops
I don't really take Bakugo's grades in the exams as him being smarter than Izuku. Rather he hates Izuku being better than him in any respect that he would cram for the exams just to do better than Izuku. Izuku tends to retain a lot more information from the exams while Bakugo let's it all go after exams. Bakugo does also seem to play video games to makes analyzes between real world and games, maybe even getting some of his hand eye coordination from fast pace games and the rest training/fighting others.
Thing is Midoryia wasnt the only One for All quirk candidate. But that is entering on spoiler territory... And this series is a series with the best written villains I have ever seen. Not just Stain but many others to come...
Loved the video! Definitely looking forward to Part 2 (and the future video on the Tournament arc?? hopefully?) XD
You should try decoding the philosophy of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
2:36 Boy, Are you wrong....
Small Might's purpose? ohh to be a cameraman for the whole class of course XD)
I agree with your opening statement this does seem like it will be an amazing series
XD
So how did you feel when the openings featured on Mother's Basement's channel?
What is the song in the background at 7:44 from it sounds so familiar but I can’t put my finger on it
For a second the cover looked like a cute girl wearing a tank top that haves fire power but when I looked closer it was endeavor's close up I can never see that Hot girl again.
You must continue to make amazing stuff like this
What's the intro soundtrack?!
Except you did see it on Mother's Basement's channel
2:36 *Roughly 2 weeks later...*
lol
this show is so good that i focused so much on the animation and reliving it while ignoring this guy completely lol, but i did rewatch it, good analysis
make a video on bakugo pls hes my favorite from the show so far
2:35 you still sure about that?
Although Stain was right about people who become heroes just because it's their job being fake heroes, killing them realllly isn't the solution, they should just get different jobs
"… and they're also openings you'll never see on mother's basement…"
Funny… I was linked to this video from your AFO vs OFA video, which I was linked to from Mother's Basement's What's in an OP videos on those openings.
Stain is a Punisher with knives. Fight me!
A decoding the tournament arc would be interesting
I was kinda hoping deku would be like a rock Lee and never get a quirk but I still love this anime
How did you go from this to hating Deku's guts?
That beautiful KHR Tsuna succession music 🎶🎵😊😁
I love all the My Hero Academia music you put in the background- wait... dafuq is Natsu's Theme from Fairy Tail (the best anime ever) doing here?
this series will become history
I atually like midoria it would of been cool if he would have no power but one for all is really cool to see cant wait until season 3
'Every viewer is meant to be Deku' Well shit, here I am over here pretty much only relating to Katsuki and Tomura. ...To be fair, in most ways, I am not most people. Shit, I mean, I'm over here rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender and relating to Azula. Anyways, wonderful video, LOVE your channel even if I don't aaalways agree with your opinions, and you're one of the only anime youtubers I actually like, along with Swagkage. Perhaps there are more good ones I haven't discovered yet, but I really don't like most popular anime youtubers I've seen. And some are ok but not that engaging for me.
