All Might isn't at the top just because he is strong, but because he is very experienced and knows how to use his powers.
But well I can see future Tokoyami being very op.

A. Not an actual shadow
B. Who can change the weather with a punch
A. Has been treated as one so far. The only thing we got going is that it is weak to light, and runs on something called darkness that is stored by Tokoyami, at the depletion of which, it gets tamer and weaker.
B. What can a weather changing punch do against a shadow?

Bakugo noo!! Anyone thinking he is gonna be a villain should rewatch the series. Someone who is a All Might fanboy will never become a villain willingly.

The animation has been great this far.
Same here. He seems to have a jealous boner for heroes. I'm thinking that he had the same admiration for heroes that Deku had, but instead of using that to motivate him to do his best, even if he's quirkless, it turned into jealousy and he became jaded about the community and One for All gave him the power to fight against the community. They're even common in the tactical depart with Shigaraki coming up with some good attack plans that probably would work if this wasn't a kid's TV show.

And can I take a moment to point out how amazing the writing and characters are? Most shonun shows would just have three maybe five characters that would do all the action bits and come up with the plans and such, but even the "B" list characters get their moments to shine and they never get downgraded or pushed to the background unlike stuff they do to the side characters like in Naruto or Bleach. If this was just the Deku and Bakugo hour the show would have lost me in the first season.
What? Bleach had highlighted plenty of side characters.

Lets B real. Class B has the Best girls.
And the best designs.
Not sure what we have seen to prove that yet..
Really? What about the fact that as of the Midterm Exam, he's ranked #3 in his class? Or the fact that in this school of prodigies where like 3% of applicants get in, he came in first in his first tournament (and won against the dude that pros in the audience described as "better than the average pro")?

Bakugo is a character you need to read between the lines with when the question arises if he's going to break bad.

Yes, he is a bully. But you could say the same about Endeavor.

One example is when Baku wants to beat the metal tooth guy but Todoroki tells him he'd burn the forest if he did that
Then Kacchan realizes "oh shit you're right, let's not endanger even more lives here"

Also when everyone makes a plan to protect him, he's not stupid enough to say "screw you, I can beat them myself" and run off alone, he goes with the plan more or less

Your willingly comment disagrees with your point. He could always be brain washed. Or simply nudged in the right direction Sasuke orochimaru/ akatsuki style.

No there is just no reason for this. Bakugo has no inner demon or problems like Sasuke. It doesn't make sense at all for him being a villain. Only brain washing would be possible in that case and this is not a shit shounen anime/manga where something like this has to be used to get some drama.

Bakugo wants to be a hero. Bakugo thinks that heroes are people who always win. Thus villains are people who always lose. Bakugo loves winning. Thus, why would he ever want to be a villain? Honestly it's that simple.

I think Bakugo is much closer to Endeavor than any of the traditional villains in the show.

He's an awful person who wants to be admired and have the status of All Might, and he knows he can't obtain that admiration or status he longs for by joining villains. Even in the first episode he tried to avoid doing anything crossing into legal grey areas because it would stain his record and weaken his chances of becoming the top hero.

If there's one character I want to see the story working that angle it's Hitoshi. He actually has the resentment and the background that can lead to being a villain. Of course I wouldn't want some Sasuke thing, but he can have an interesting struggle.

He's relevant in the discussion of how society and your peers perceive you shaping your future, which is one of the aspects I like the most in My Hero Academia.

This would be awesome.


Guy would be the purple man of the MHA universe. He could do IMMENSE damage. The only thing holding him back is his own restraint.

He wears a mask. Or a hero magically didn't see his fight. They were grabbing some food or whatever. Hell they even "forgot" would work. Deku KNEW his ability and STILL fell for it in the moment. Let alone some random pro months or maybe even years after the fact. Also nowhere is it said or implied that ALL PROS EVERYWHERE watched every single possible second of the event. Especially the beginning rounds. Hell there were pros that were working security who didn't even watch the event.



Him displaying his ability is not some kryptonite for his ability for the rest of time. Writers could easily get around it and the ability/character still work just fine.

Just pretend to be a civilian and if he's a hero ask "what do you bastard even want"
Or if he's a villain

He was talking about Ibara from Class B. It's not stated outright that she's Christian, but she holds her hand in prayer, has the pure/humble thing going on and has a crown of thorns.

Side note: Horikoshi said she was a member from Class A at first and he can't remember why he changed it. He also says her hair is a pain in the ass to draw, so I imagine the switch to Class B has something to do with that, lol.

Thanks for clarifying it for me, and changing her to class B for that reason madr me chuckle hahaha.

Endeavor might as well be a villain tho. Look at the shattered family he's left in his wake.

I think Bakugo is far too stubborn to let anyone dissuade him from being a hero, least of all people who capture him. Though, I could see him being a villain with the motive of proving himself against the pros, but he seems to understand like everyone else that being a hero is more than abilities and quirks.

He probably understand that but all he really cares about is winning which on his mind is beating villains and getting high rank like Endevour

He still wants to be s hero for the wrong reasons he's also the most stubborn asshole ever

I have seen plenty of Christian characters in anime. Usually it's simply noted on the side, and doesn't have much of an impact of the story itself. Hard to think of an instance where it actually mattered. The dub of Ghost Stories comes to mind. Kids on the Slope, maybe?
A. Has been treated as one so far. The only thing we got going is that it is weak to light, and runs on something called darkness that is stored by Tokoyami, at the depletion of which, it gets tamer and weaker.
B. What can a weather changing punch do against a shadow?
Shadow is created when light is obstructed by an object or absent. It has no mass and it is not solid. Clearly the manner in which the shadow is represented in the show doesn't conform to our understanding of shadows in reality. Furthermore, when you make a positive statement, it is your duty to substantiate it by manner of analysis. Your post fails to do that. The shadow relies on the existence of Tokoyami. If Tokoyami gets splatted, shadow goes down along with him. Otherwise, assuming that it can live independently from Tokoyami, it is your job to prove that it can survive ~3 kiloton impacts (the destruction of city blocks) from a half dead All Might using analysis.

yeah my mind jumped immediately to Kids on the Slope. Kenshin also has an arc set out West although I don't remember if they were actual Christians or Christian analogues.

Eh, I really like that characters like him and Bakugo that have abilities that are traditionally tailored for villains but are determined to become heroes despite what society thinks of their quirks.

Him becoming a villain would ruin the whole point of his character.

So, I hope that NEVER happens.
