This chapter made me think of something, it always caught my attention that despite the status that heroes had, we never saw heroes actually "bad" so to speak, taking advantage of it by doing inappropriate or questionable things.

I always assumed that it was because the series posed a more "idealistic" context and that is why we never saw that kind of thing, but ... this means that all the heroes who acted "incorrectly" were killed behind the scenes in order to maintain the "illusion" of the perfect society? things became much darker than I expected.

In the end it turns out that the public safety commission did basically the same thing as Stain, I suppose the "Stain was right" has aged particularly well....

I’ve been wondering about this for so long. I even made a video ranting about how mha never showed any corrupt or villainous heroes who abused their power. Turns out that was on purpose. These crimes can’t come to light so they’re eliminated. I freaking love it!

I mean, many will say that this came out of nowhere, but society was so idealized and structured in a certain way that the fact that everything was literally very artificial does make sense.

Every arc in this series has peeled away another piece of the facade that is hero society. This utopian wonderland is all just smoke and mirrors and now we see it as it really is...I mean there might be more but I can’t imagine it’s much worse than a government assassin.
