A few months back I was guessing that maybe Horikoshi didn’t give us a hospital arc after the war because he had a DIFFERENT hospital arc — maybe even a battle — in mind. With all the separate battle locations, and at least All Might and Tsukauchi stationed near Central Hospital, it seemed plausible. (Unclear if Kurogiri is still there…I assume so although it’s not confirmed.)
BUT IF WE GET IIDA PRINCESS-CARRYING TOYA TO CENTRAL HOSPITAL, WHERE REI, FUYUMI, AND NATSUO CAN REUNITE WITH HIM, I WILL BE SO HAPPY. And if we get an “updated” version of the Sports Festival awards ceremony talk between Shoto and All Might I will ascend.
A parallel reaching back to the sports festival!! Look at Shoto making progress in his personal & academic growth!!! You can literally see the weight has been lifted off his shoulders & the new life in his eyes!
Anybody else go completely BONKERS over this part??
Dad-Zawa is 100% REFUSING to give up on his kids no matter how grim it looks!!!
Aizawa clearly sees that clean parallel between Aoyama & Shirakumo, as non-consenting villains unwittingly thrust into a war as pawns.
But I think Aizawa also sees the possibility of himself in Aoyama as well. He he doesn’t want a future where Aoyama closes himself off to the world, of losing his twinkle.
As we know, Aizawa is still deeply effected by Shirakumo’s death & I can confidently say, I think this is the reason he walks around looking like a hobo. Part of him still feels pathetic & helpless b/c he couldn’t save his friend and as a result, he neglects himself.
He focuses entirely on rationing his down time sleeping in a bag, having a completely empty apartment & eating goo packets so he can be ready at a moment’s notice for anything.He may be a great hero, but his civilian time is devoid of creature comforts. His emotional life is as empty as his apartment.
Aizawa does NOT want that for Aoyama, especially since he knows how sensitive a kid he is.
This man has lost body parts. He has lost FRIENDS. Had his bones broken. Had his SKULL broken. & He’s still showing up to assure his student that It’ll be okay, if he trusts his friends.
& How does Aizawa know it’ll be okay??
Because the one comfort Aizawa allows himself is his friend, Mic.
The fact that there’s not 1 parallel in this scene but 2 separate parallels!!!
1. It was Kirishima, not Deku, to be the only possible person to reach out & rescue Bakugou vs. Iida Being the only one who could reach out to Midoriya!
2. Deku reinforcing Iida in his attempt to fight Stain alone vs Iida telling Deku not to fight OFA alone!
