Like Livestock: Endeavor’s Use of Language

I just wanted to share a post by a reddit user (u/sleepyfriend) about something that many people overlook as part of Endeavor’s earlier characterization because things get lost in translation into English:

In Endeavor’s conversation with All Might during the Sports Festival arc, the English translations had Endeavor refer to Shouto as “it” or “that” or whatever. Ever wonder how this was phrased in Japanese? ‘I will make that(“are” as opposed to “aitsu” or “anoko” you would expect for a child) into a hero that surpasses you. He’s an “offspring” I created for that purpose.’ The offspring bit is the part I want to focus. While the word usually used for a child is “ko(子)”, the one Endeavor uses here is “ko(仔)”. “Ko(仔)” is a word specifically reserved for animal offspring. It’s a blatant misuse of the word, clearly intended to tell us that this man views Shouto as a successful breeding project rather than a child. All Might would not have picked up on this though, since “ko(子)” and “ko(仔)” sounds exactly the same. Only the Japanese manga readers had the privilege of noticing this.

Between this and the way he refers to Shouto’s siblings, I want to point out that, not counting the post-Kamino manga, the Todoroki children have spent 15-22(or more??) years being regarded as mere tools for Enji’s ambition. He dehumanized them before they were even born. He refers to his ‘prized’ child in the same way a person would refer to their favorite milking cow. Just an ‘interesting’ fact about him that I think should be shared.

everytime someone downplays how bad pre-UA bakudeku was an angel loses it's fucking wings

All Might : Have you ever wondered what would happen if my quirk... hypothetically speaking... could be, I don't know... transmitted?

Present Mic : Well, technically that would be live experimentation on a human subject. I would arrest the monster who did that on the spot.

All Might : !!!

Eraserhead : I mean, if the subject is consenting, I guess that would be okay? Unless it's an easily manipulable kid, of course. That's child grooming, and, man... I could easily MURDER someone who did that, can you imagine?

All Might : [nervous sweating]

How is nobody talking about Kaminari walking around with a POWER BANK in his mouth. Like… it’s so perfect?!

When I feel down, drawing him makes me a little bit happy.

These are my kids
