Ploro.

Ploro perquè la vida és injusta.

Perquè ningú s'ho mereix.

Ploro.

Ploro per tu.

Perquè no et queden llàgrimes.

March 16th, 17th and 18th, 1938. Barcelona, Catalonia.

In only 41 hours, Mussolini’s Italian fascist aviation and Hitler’s Nazi aviation, who were helping Franco’s fascist troops, threw more than 45,000 kilos of bombs over the city of Barcelona.

Between 880 and 1,300 civilian people were killed, and betwee 1,500 and 2,000 were injured. At least 118 of the corpses found were children.

Feixisme, mai més. / Fascism, never again.

Just això estic aprenent ara a història...

Ok but

I really, really like how Hori flipped being quirkless from being a detriment to an actual benefit for AM and now, Deku. Being quirkless saved their lives, and they didn't even know it.

Choosing Mirio would have been an unintentional death sentence. Trying to pass it on to a pro with a strong quirk, like Endeavor, would be a death sentence.

It's likely OFA will become public, or at least, semi-public knowledge, now. But one consequence of that is now off the table. Anyone who pressures Deku to give away OFA is also asking Deku to consequently kill the recipient. Which we know he won't do.

A quirkless middle schooler wasn't just also a suitable choice. It was theoretically the best choice, even if AM didn't know it at the time, because a quirkless adult wouldn't have the opportunity to be trained by a certified heroics course.

For once in his life, Deku's quirkless status is a blessing.

Yassssssss

Japanese vs. English Dabi - A 292 Comparison

As other people have already pointed it, the official translation is sometimes a little biased to the point of adding things into the text that aren’t in the original Japanese version or changing phrases to the point where the villains come off colder than they actually are.

The current chapters are highly important to Dabi’s and Shouto’s characters and so the official translation, unfortunately, can lead to people getting the wrong image of Dabi. This is not to say that Dabi is actually a super friendly guy - however, I don’t think you can get a full picture of all the layers to his character without taking the original text in mind.

Since there are a few panels I’m going to talk about from this chapter - comparing the Japanese version with the official translation and also dissecting and explaining the original Japanese phrases - I’m going to put the rest of this post under the cut because it’s a bit lengthy otherwise.

okay i’m about to ramble here, because i love that we have someone (aizawa of all people!!) acknowledging in canon that toshinori is actually very intelligent

i’ve noticed that often, toshinori gets portrayed as a goofball, someone who isn’t that smart, and just wanted to discuss how, even though he is a fool sometimes, he’s one of the smartest characters in the bnha universe. just looking at his ultra analysis stat block:

toshinori has a 6/6 rating for his intelligence stat. for comparison, other 6/6 intelligence characters are:

  • principal nezu (who literally has an intelligence boosting quirk)
  • momo yaoyorozu (who is so good at utilising her quirk because of her in-depth understanding of material science, chemistry and physics)
  • all for one (dude is old as fuck (lots of experience), extremely emotionally intelligent (which he uses to be manipulative), and tactically brilliant)
  • we don’t know david shield’s official stats, but as he is a nobel prize winner, it’d be a safe guess to say he is also 6/6

toshinori also outranks sir nighteye (5/6), aizawa shota (5/6) and recovery girl (5/6) for intelligence

next up, we have one of the few things we know about young toshinori: he went to college in the states. that alone doesn’t qualify intelligence, but what we can infer from two heroes does

it’s not a stretch to say that dave was almost definitely a STEM major - he goes on to become a world renowned, nobel prize winning scientist. his inventions are used as support items for heroes globally. dave almost definitely majored in either physics or engineering

what’s notable, is that toshinori is taking at least Some of the same classes as dave, which we know from when dave comments about them both being late for their lecture again. dave is smart, already an accomplished inventor at 21, implying that they’re likely both enrolled at a high ranking university

toshinori is therefore capable of meeting academic requirements for a high ranking and competitive university, and is also shown to be mathematically and analytically gifted, based on his (probable) major

next up is toshinori’s tactical abilities. it’s almost a shame that all might could solve almost every problem with a punch or two, because the few times a fight gets tough, toshinori is shown to be very smart and tactical. look at the usj fight, for example:

toshinori identified the nomu’s quirk (shock absorption), used an educated assumption to figure out its weakness (there must be a limit - apply too much force over a short period of time and it cannot cope), and quickly switched tactics to apply his deduction, which turned out to be true

now let’s look at the kamino ward fight:

brute force alone was never going to win the fight. afo, as mentioned before, is incredibly emotionally intelligent, and uses that against toshinori. and toshinori, also incredibly emotionally intelligent, is able to compartmentalise these revelations, whilst still leading all for one to believe he was compromised by this

toshinori feints a "final attack", plays into all for one’s ego, and all for one’s expectation that toshinori will fight honestly (as in, he wouldn’t use deceptive tactics), then brings home the final blow when all for one believes the victory is his

toshinori yagi, though sometimes a bit of a goof, is an incredibly intelligent person. he’s well educated and highly analytical, he’s very emotionally intuitive, and he’s tactically brilliant. don’t underestimate how smart this man is

This.
