I am completely SOLD on this! I agree with everything you said. Especially on the dynamic between them, you’re totally right! It would have been endearing to see.

And alongside the rest of 1-A, her own quirk is one of the few that I’ve noticed that has undergone some serious evolution just like Midoriya! It could have been a result of her seeing Midoriya think outside the box for his quirk, so she tried to do the same!

And having one of the most important and popular characters being invisible? If done right, Horikoshi would’ve been praised for pulling something like that off!

If you are still in the mood for other BNHA asks, is there another character that you feel had the potential of being a main character? Not to usurp a place from the others, but with enough going for them that they could have elevated to rub shoulders with Izuku and the other established main cast?

I’m always in the mood for BNHA asks! (Though I’m answering this with a slight headache, so it might not make sense.)

I think EVERYONE in Class 1-A needed more attention and scene time (and the U.A. teachers). But if I had to choose one, it would be Toru.

Personal bias aside, she’s someone who seems to have put her whole worth into her quirk, so much that Toru doesn’t even bother to work on her weaknesses. I think it would have been an interesting dynamic with Izuku, who also seems to put his worth into the quirk given to him by All Might. A potential subplot is these two realizing that they’ve put so much focus on their quirks that they’ve neglected other aspects and that hinders them in their quest to become heroes.

Also, Toru would just be a good contrast to Izuku as her personality is more outgoing than his and a lot more easygoing. This is something Izuku would have benefited from as he might have been more tempted to come out of his shell.

Plus, we rarely get an invisible girl whose face we never see, except once, which gives an interesting dynamic as Toru is a girl who can’t be judged for her looks but has to win people with her personality. It would also be neat to see her POV on things as she doesn’t have to deal with the same embarrassment other girls endure.

for the bnha asks, what are your thoughts on 22 & 28?

Thanks for the asks! And to any reading this that are anime only, any spoilers I may mention will be *starred* before hand, just in case.

22. The ones I can honestly recall off the top of my head that genuinely surprised me.

Sudden Iida moments

- The moments where Iida suddenly does a huge action that turns the situation on its head. The ones I refer to in particular are the sudden burst during the Calvary Battle, the Joint Training Battle, * and him bursting through the air to reach out and taking Midoriya’s hand while he was trying to escape from them after running away from UA. *

Throughout the story, Iida had gradually been placed to the sidelines more, being replaced by characters like Todoroki and Bakugou, coming across more as comic relief (save for during his personal arc with Stain). And it’s saddening because I do believe he’s such a great character. So those moments in particular happened, I was shocked and overjoyed because those moments highlight how powerful he is and why he deserves to rub shoulders with Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugou.

Blackwhip’s Debut

- Even though we get hints before hand, I personally had no idea that Izuku was going to get such a significant power up, or it was going to happen/emerge like that. When we get introduced to Banjo and how his quirk works, I was actually surprised that Horikoshi decided to go this route. The results of the decision, I’ll admit, is a mixed bag.

Overhaul vs Mirio fight

- To be honest, this was one of the best fights throughout the entire manga imo. Mirio juggling to take down Overhaul and his goons while staying two steps ahead of them along with protecting Eri. Mirio losing his quirk. And of course Mirio STILL fighting Overhaul with nothing but his body. I still tear up a bit watching it because Mirio was nothing short but incredible.

Those were my genuine surprising moments.

28. For me, All Might. Literally within the course of three episodes, I adored this man. He was charismatic, powerful and genuinely funny. Him having the Superman-like figure and still being hilarious to watch is difficult in my opinion, but Hori pulled it off easily. I could already see that AM was going to be a great literal father father figure to Izuku. I know some people thought he was horrible to Izuku when he said he couldn’t be a hero without a quirk, but I see it as him doing his job as a hero which was protecting him from the dangers of the world, as gently as he could. Because sometimes to do some good, you may have to come across as a bad guy. Plus, since AM was quirkless before receiving One For All, there was no other individual who could tell Izuku the truth better than him.

Thanks once again for the asks, @violetlunette
