From All The Things About Bnhas Ending I Dislike, The Fact That The Hero Ranking System Is Still Up Is

From all the things about bnhas ending I dislike, the fact that the hero ranking system is still up is probably the worst.

We've seen what it does to people, we've seen what happend with Endevour. We know it sucks, why is it still there?

Did Hori get told: hey this is shonen, and shonen loves rankings like this, so keep it up. It feels like the last ark just was made to cater to the main shonen tropes and not everything it set up for all of the rest.

You are aware that one of the biggest points of the League and Shigaraki was the fact that the heroes are hypocrites right?

Multiple times they were called out on doing the exact same thing the villains do, but getting away with crimes because they are labled differently.

That was Stains point, that was Shigarakis point, that was Spinners point.

Midoriya was supposed to be better than them and now he isn't. He was told my so many to just kill Shigaraki, but he wanted to do better and save him but still ended up killing him.

Spinner joined the League for Stain, someone who saw how currupt the heroes were and only believed in two- All Might and Deku. Spinner saved Midoriya from Magne back at camp because Stain said Midorya was a true hero, a person who does the right thing for the right reason.

Unlike the heroes who have killed, robbed, hurt, raped or only became heroes for money and fame Stain believed Midoriya to be a true hero.

And now Spinner is sitting there having survived Shigaraki because Midoriya who was supposed to be better than those heroes murdered him.

The League knows what they are doing is illegal, Spinner knows they are going against the law, that was never the point. The point was that the heroes were doing the exact same thing but getting away with it.

Of course he's pissed. He saved a kid once because the hero killed belived said kid to be a true hero, a truly good person and now that kid murdered his best friend and turned out to be just like everyone else.

Real wild of Spinner to call Izuku a "murderer" when the first person he idolized was nicknamed Hero Killer.

I am now here to remind everyone, that this literally doesn't matter and society doesn't change at all.

Yeay.

I am here to remind everyone, that this was in chapter 19 of bnha:

In the bonus book given out for the 4th MHA movie, there's a Q&A section, and one of the questions pertains to Shigaraki!

Q: What kind of video games does Shigaraki play?

Horikoshi: He used to be into PvP but if he was taunted or got frustrated with teammates, he would break the monitor. So AFO suggested he play a different type of game. He seems to enjoy simulation games now.

from this thread!

Since finding out that we have 4 chapters to go -yeah this isn't going to conclude shit.

And don't get me started on Hawks (the guy with zero actual remorse about literally backstabbing Jin- which everyone saw in video) being head of the "we hired children out of school to become killers" society.

I know there's more bnha, but it simply doesn't undo Midoriya saying over and over again that he won't kill Shigaraki and him then killing Shigaraki. If he wouldn't have gotten the title greatest hero for it and it was framed like a tragedy that would be doable, but it's not. You can tell it's not because there are people seeing this as something positiv in both fandom and in-universe.

I don't even take too much issue with Midoriya not understanding Shigaraki, he focused on Tenko, but that is a realistic learning step for him, so him not getting why he was still Shigaraki in the end and not Tenko is understandable, even if it's very slow and Uraraka got that way faser than him.

Maybe there is hope, maybe the manga will deal with this, but the handling so far sucks. The solution to: "I want to save him" never came despite it being brought up repeatedly, Midoriya shoudln't be as ok with this as he was afterwards.

I get that with so much one has to deal with stuff like that is never linear, but he killed someone, that should be big, not AllMight already finiding excuses. We don't need another Hawks.

It's just frustrating and it shoudln't be. Tragedies are fine and enjoyable, hero stories are too, but this story that from the beginning had a bright young kid who wanted to do the right thing fail so extremly to only sweep it under the rug right away feels wrong.

In 3 chapters?

I like your optimism, but I simply can't share it with so little panels and so many lose ends left.

I will say I generally like that Midoriya isn't denying that he killed Shigaraki, it really seemed like it in the previous chapters.

That being said: bnha is a tragedy and nothing will ever change in society is not the ending I was expecting, let alone hoping for.

Especially since the framing, artwork, conversations, translation and fan-response seems to be really ignoring it.

And that is while bhha 427 literally sais that things won't change.

That's just sad.
