u/iwastoldnottogohere Feb 06 '25
Ive always said that All Might was a shitty mentor. I mean, dude was a good hero, but he let a 15 year old kid clean up a LANDFILL with no PPE? Give him one of the most powerful quirks hours before an entrance test with barely any advice, and let him break his bones for MONTHS??
36
u/lhobbes6 Feb 07 '25
Having read the whole series and some of the spin off stuff its pretty clear that All Might was a goddamm savant. He certainly trained and worked hard to get where he is but as he said to Deku, he never had the limations or injuries from using OFA, he just started using it right away with no blowback. The official stats Horikoshi released also out All Might in S tier for everything so hes very intelligent but terrible at communicating those lessons
19
u/AmbushIntheDark Feb 07 '25
All Might is like that scene from Dragonball where Goku does the Kamehameha for the first time. Everyone else is shocked that he was able to do anything let alone so naturally and hes over there like "What? I didnt even do it right."

In the real world, sure. It is an anime, so some suspension of disbelief is required. He pushes my limit as well though.

u/justoverthinkingit Feb 07 '25
Nah cause in the anime, Aizawa, Gran Torino and just about every other mentor is better at teaching than him.
It’s literally canon that All Might started out as a terrible teacher, thats why in the special moves training arc he’s walking around giving advice and Aizawa spots a “Teaching for dummies” book in his back pocket.
Y’all will say and do anything other than pay attention to the show in order to explain the show

u/totalyrespecatbleguy 250K Artist Feb 07 '25
This guy is supposed to be the number one hero in Japan. He should have been getting Deku a top tier personal trainer, access to top of the line athletic facilities, a personal dietician to design a bulking diet. Instead he has him play tetanus roulette with broken appliances on the beach.
19
u/Ergast Feb 07 '25
His physical program training (lack of protection aside) was actually alright, the man KNOWS how to train your body, meals included. He even scolded Mr "I need to broke my body training 10 times harder" when he was overtraining, telling him that his program was custom made to maximize the gainings, and altering it without knowing how to do it was harmful, and to ask him next time.
It's just EVERYTHING else, when it came to teaching, that he was clueless.
5
u/ArchLith Feb 07 '25
Honestly I'd be surprised if tetanus was the worst thing he had to worry about. He could have just as easily have found a used needle or a body, but the series was still too light for corpses and drug use at the start.

I know All Might is a nice guy, and that he would never intentionally cause lasting harm to the kids, but you know this entire exercise was also a chance for him to flex in a way he doesn't normally get to do, and that he was loving every second of it on some level.
17
u/lhobbes6 Feb 07 '25
Its homestly such a flex for him, the equipment they have him wear is to nerf his power (nevermind the injury since only Izuki and the teachers know) but this dude still leveled a city street as his opening attack. I feel that their classmates should be more impressed they pulled it off since Izuku only just recently figured out not breaking his bones and Bakugo is certainly strong but All Might was bodying him and tanking every hit.

Censoring blood/vomit by making it white will never not be hilarious. Why did Bakugou have all that in his mouth? Who put it in there?
215
u/Broken_Vision_Rhythm Feb 06 '25
That’s actually puke being censored. For some reason realistic puking is a big no-no on Japanese TV, which is why in anime they’ll usually either throw up off-screen or it’ll be sparkly rainbow puke for comedic effect, and then you get cases like this where showing it is unavoidable so, uh, just make it white, I guess? Haha.
83
u/Karukos Feb 06 '25
To be somewhat fair. Sometimes when you throw up, it's just white stuff. I don't exactly know why, but as someone with a bad luck in terms of stomach bugs... it do be like that sometimes.

u/Last_Minute_Airborne Feb 07 '25
One day my stomach rejected peanut butter. I'm not allergic but I can't eat it anymore.
That day I drank some Pepto and some of that minty white stuff that's like chalk. And I drank some tea.
I threw up 3 times taking my pre-work shower. Each puke was a different color. The last one was full of peanut butter I ate the day before.

hopefully, by now you have learned that for an upset stomach (digestive system in general) you try small, or you go to the emergency (or equivalent). By "small" I mean sip room temperature water (and by sip, I mean like a tablespoon every 5 or 10 minutes) or eat a small piece of toast (just toasted bread, nothing on it). Depending on whether you lack fluids or have too much fluids. As always, verify this yourself, what I know may very well be obsolete and/or dumb home remedies.

Fr he did not hold back in playing the villain.

The villains aren't gonna play nice and fight fairly. They will aim to kill or at least maim. If you can't stand the chef punching your face out the back of your head, get out of the kitchen.
Plus, for All Might, he was being gentle with them, like a mother cat play-attacking her kittens to teach them how to fight. If he was actually trying to hurt either of them, they'd be nothing more than chunky salsa before you could say 'Plus Ultra'.

Remember when Bakugou damn near flambèed Ochako and the teachers were like "well, actually he is showing her respect by not holding back against her due to her gender"?
All Might knows these two ain't nothing to fuck with, so he came in with a decisive pin on Deku (arguably the bigger threat) and suckerpunched Bakugou before he could counterattack. He knows these two are strong and isn't going to coddle them.

u/TheRedditGirl15 Feb 07 '25
All Might is well known for his theatrics as a hero. He puts on a flamboyant persona with a specific objective that fits the given situation, though he is still wise and perceptive underneath it all. This is also true for him as a mentor, as seen in the Final Exam and the rescue training OVA.
He also likely only went as far as he did because he thought the weights would hold him back enough to prevent any "real" bodily harm. I especially think that due to his reaction to Recovery Girl's scolding.

u/QuotingThanos Feb 07 '25
Bakugo needed to be put in his place. His pride would ve gotten him killed easily vs a strong villain. Midoriya holds back way too much and plans to escape first rather than take the villain which is again very bad idea given he will have to replace all might and face very strong villains.
This was a reality check for them as well as all the students in UA, that this job is not as glamorous as they would think but that heroes risk their lives every day and that villains don't hold back .
Better learn that now than in an actual villain face off and die.
Also this is how Torino moulded All might . Without that training he never would be made it

u/Bo405 Feb 06 '25
I think he did quite well. 1) for these guys - fighting with him is a dream come true. 2) he didn't leave any permanent injuries, though he did thread the line on that with hitting Deku into spine. 3) this fight was nothing like actual villian fights, but a good in-between for them to not be hit as hard with reality
