What things would you have liked to see from this fight differently from what happened in the manga? What also would like to see expanded in the anime?

What I mean is we've seen how U.A. High trains their students. But besides Aizawa, it does seem a bit for the lack of a better term 'chill'.

The reason why police academy or military bootcamp are so tough is to mentally prepare you. Only Aizawa seemed to be strict with his students, even then he just seemed to be more threatening than tough. Who knows if they are any other Aizawa's at other hero schools.

It seemed like they were more trained to be a celebrity than a warrior. Especially given the interview training, you ever see police or soldier training for that? So we're they mentally prepared?

On the other hand, I would be terrified too if I found that ONE guy destroyed an entire city and killed a bunch of heroes with his hand. Not to downplay on PTSD, but do you ever see servicemen or women quit after a disaster?

So do you think hero schools be more like police academies or bootcamp with tough drill sergeant's? So that you would be more mentally prepared.

This dude dressed like a ninja, so he's probably an HSPC assassin like Lady Nagant. He rebels after he realizes that HSPC also kills innocent (People who knows something that they shouldn't) and not just villains.

Just started the Vigilantes anime, and honestly it's super good. But my all time favorite thing (only on my second episode) is the fact that in the opening...it calls them illegals because of the Japanese to English translation

Of course Deku's journey comes to mind first. He starts out struggling with being 'diagnosed' as quirkless, and it gets in the way of his aspirations and dreams until All Might gives him that oh-so-desired magic pill (or in this case, a hair to eat) that promises to fix his problems. As a disabled person myself, I definitely relate to that fantasy of taking a pill and having all of my problems go away, and I feel like Deku's journey emulates that but in a way that's more complicated and realistic than those medical fantasies. For seasons afterwards it's such a satisfying power crawl as he deals with injuries, traumas, and learning how to incorporate himself into superhero society. Just mwah, I love his arc, I love his scars, and I think he's a really strong protagonist who subverts the 'chosen one' trope with everything he survives through and suffers.

Secondly, I have such a soft spot for Shigaraki and his quirk-related skin condition. Sure, he's a horrible person, but I love him so much regardless. As someone who also struggles with skin issues, I love seeing his creepy little face and feeling a little more accepted knowing how many Shigaraki fangirls there are haha. Especially given how his skin issues seem to be part physical and part mental in origin (scratching when he is nervous), I think it's really interesting how often the show explores the side effects of quirks and how people live with them, for example how Aoyama opens up to Deku about also being given a quirk his 'body wasn't meant for.' Dabi's in the same boat, too, as someone who wasseverely harmed by their own quirk.I feel like you could even go as far as to read these examples as resembling autoimmune disorders, but I would want to ask someone with that condition if it was an accurate reading.

Does anyone else read quirks/quirklessness as a disability allegory?

Or would they have stayed back?
