What's Been Your Favourite Arc In Bnha So Far?

What's been your favourite arc in bnha so far?

Hey dude! Thanks for the ask! Sorry it took a while but I found I had a lot more to say haha

I like so much of it, wow! One of my favs is def the hero killer arc, I just get really really pumped and emotional about that one. Watching Izuku learn how to better use OfA while no longer hurting himself always makes me so happy. Gran Torino rocks, and just Iida is my pure boy and I adore him with all my heart.

But honestly, I’d say the sports festival is still my fav overall, specifically Ochako’s parts within it. It continues to be a really moving arc, starting with her motivations to become a hero, we see her working so hard being a wonderful support, but then having those regrets at the realization that she was just leaning on Izuku.

It’s definitely something she needed to realize I think. But going into her fight with Bakugo, she’s still kinda leaning on him, in a mental way, and loses.

*gosh* I just cry every time seeing her fail.

Then we get one of the most (I think) telling things about her character. How extremely she hides her emotions. She’s so upset, but the moment Izuku comes in, it’s nothing but sunshine and smiles.

She does wear her heart on her sleeve, but I don’t think it’s as blatant as her character type would suggest. She tends to hide her hurts when it’s in regards to herself, and is very open when it has to do with someone else. She doesn’t want to deal with her own hurts or issues at all, and doesn’t want to share them with anyone but her family. (There’s a reason she hasn’t really told anyone about her crush on Izuku, I’d say.)

This is honestly one of moments that made me care so much for not only Ochako, but also this ship between her and Izuku. It’s one of the first most genuine exchanges between them, and in my opinion a basis for those more sincere exchanges later on as well.

We see Izuku’s point of view of Ochako going out of her way to support him, even when she’s obviously hurting and it touches him so deeply, and his concern and sadness for her is just really moving tbh.

(This face though… bless the anime for adding it in.)

And the fact that he stayed long enough to hear her cry to her dad on the phone, it hurts my soul.

It’s a really lovely moment between them. It’s one of the scenes, if not the scene, which led me to start creating a story where they (not only have romance things because yiss) but more importantly are able to build on this deeper bond we see a beginning of here, and come to a point where they can lean on each other and trust in each other with any concerns or conflicts that might arise. And thus Walking the Wire was born….

Thank you for the ask! Sorry it got so long winded haha
