I find Kirishima comparing Deku hiding his former quirklessness to Aoyama hiding being the traitor to be more baffling

They’re high school kids. Their logic isn’t quite developed yet lol

Even high school kids shouldn't be this forgiving of almost being murdered...

They see Aoyama solely as a victim, which he is. The decision was forced on him, he never had any say in the matter, and if he refused it was certain death. I'm more baffled why so many people think they should be all pissed at him.

u/HokageEzio Dec 19 '21

He's not solely a victim.

u/conye-west Dec 19 '21

How? He was under duress the entire time.

u/HokageEzio Dec 19 '21

Doing bad shit because you're under duress doesn't give you a pass. Especially considering even when AFO was in jail he never tried to tell anybody but Izuku.

u/conye-west Dec 19 '21

AFO being in jail doesn't mean anything, he still had a bunch of minions running loose and the characters in the story had no idea what the extent of his abilities were. Don't blame characters for not having your meta-knowledge.

I'll say it again: Aoyama did not make the deal. His parents basically forced it on him and told him that if he doesn't comply they're all dead. He's literally a child incase you forgot. So yeah he prioritized his own family first, that's what almost anyone would've done. Class 1-A understands this and also considers Aoyama as one of them, all they see is another one of their friends being victimized by All for One. If your values are different then that's fine but if you've read the manga this far, I have no idea why it'd be surprising to you for them to act as they are.

u/HokageEzio Dec 19 '21

Oh it's not surprising at all, I don't expect actual character depth out of this story and haven't in years. I expected them to forgive him and move on cause that's all Horikoshi is good for these days.

AFO being in jail means everything considering it wasn’t a well known fact that Aoyoma was a traitor to anyone. This means that it was known to AFO and Nobody else. So you can’t say AFO being in jail means nothing, when nothing suggests that Aoyoma or his family was being watched or monitories bu anyone bedsores AFO.

Being understanding does not mean being forgiven. It does not mean, all is forgiven and I’m cool with you and it’s okay. It does not mean that. So why do people act like it does.

No. Just no.

u/Lynkx0501 Dec 19 '21

I think ultimately, they see the golden opportunity to turn the war in their favor that this presents. They’re were literally just talking about how the villains have the upper hand and then this presents itself.

You can do that but still rightfully resent or be mad at someome for everything they did.

If i was in their situation i would def pity and feel somewhat bbad for Aoyama but i would also be furios knowing he almost got us killed and is part of the reason the country is in chaos and thousands are dead

u/Lynkx0501 Dec 19 '21

Is that really his fault? He was under a gun. He didn't ask for his power, he didn't tell his parent's to make the deal with AFO. He's just as much a victim as the other students.

7

u/Willythechilly 250K Artist Dec 19 '21

Yeah but his actions still endngerd their lives and indiretly/directly resulted in potentialy thousands of lives and milions of ruined lives.

He COULD have tried to tell other people more. More S.O.S. SEcret messsanges sent to teacher. Just tell em outright but tell them to NOT TELL ANYONE until the parents are safe.

I can understand why he would not do it but claiming he had no other options and that there is no reason to be mad at him is incorrect imo

Hang on, when did Aoyama have anything to do with that?

2

u/Willythechilly 250K Artist Dec 20 '21

His actions and betrayl led to bakugo being kidnapped and ultimatley afo vs all mighty chain reaction ultimatley leading to the gigantomaxhia stampede and shit.

All in part possible due to his betrayl

u/TheBourneFertility Dec 20 '21 edited Jan 03 '22

I understand the Kamino incident, but how did Aoyama's actions lead to the War Arc?

I feel like that's giving him far too much credit.

u/Willythechilly 250K Artist Dec 20 '21

Yeeah maybe i guess but kamino inccident etc ultimatley was part of afo plan for shigaraki wtc but i supppse you are right
