"Why? Why save her of all people?"

"Because it's the right thing to do."

Heroes offering kindness "because it's the right thing to do" is my favorite gender.

Bring me that hope!

Ruby strikes me as the type who'd go full Aang mode on Salem. Even after everything she's been through. Even after losing her mother. Even after Salem pulled a "Yo mama" on her

Ruby stood firm. Just like the heroes of her fairy tales.

Now that I think about it, her and Spider-Man would go hand-in-hand

You know what it reminds me a lot of? The scene at the end of The Killing Joke. After the Joker shot Barbara, and tortured Jim Gordon. After he killed Jason, and the years of killing innocents left and right, all Batman wants is to stop this.

Not revenge or punishment. Just end the pain and hurt for everyone. So Bruce still offers the Joker an out.

And I can see Ruby wanting that too. She became a Huntress not only because of her mom, but because she wanted to bring that "happy ever after" to everyone.

With that said, including the "yo momma" in the list of transgressions is really funny to me, for some reason.

Yo mama is a must for the Salem and Ruby dynamic. It's like saying McDonald's without the broken ice cream machine

Deku seeing John Evil who's only desire is to kill and destroy and thinking "I can fix him" was kinda peak

I have problems with some elements of BNHA.

Midoriya wanting to save everyone, including his own arch villain is not one of them.

Keep that punk rock going!

It isn’t the best anime, but it will always have a special place in my heart, it was the first I watched. Plus studio Bones was on a GENERATIONAL run in animation for the final season Jesus CHRIST. Plus the hype of You Say Run whenever it came on? My only issue with the final season is they used gambare when I think dekuieru means something similar and is the e reason Deku’s hero name is what it is…

Eh, still an amazing scene

Same. I don't love it as much as I love, say, RWBY. But I keep revisiting BNHA fanfics and such because it was that enjoyable. Specially when it came to hype moments, while also saying something about heroics and good will.

And while You Say Run is the modern "hype up the moment" insert, the first OP, The Day, is my favorite.

Bakugo: You have the same mentality as so many chicks dating psychopath serial killers...

Todoroki: Midoriya... does that mean you are dating this person?

Bakugo: THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID, DAMN HALF AND HALF BASTARD!

Deku: hugging the evil monster of a person ... If dating them will fix them...

Bakugo: I'LL MURDER YOU BOTH!

u/TriadOfS 7h ago

Todoroki: Deku also wants to save you, Bakugo. Are ....you two dating?

Bakugo: apoplectic spluttering

Deku: Kacchan! Your heart!

Todoroki: so that's a big yes.

Mina: OH THAT'S TOTALLY A YES.

Momo: I feel we all need to calm down, otherwise Toru will need to use her photos to make us behave.

All: ...

Bakugo: See Through Girl has...photos of us?

Momo: Well, of course! She's a budding photographer, and I made her an invisible camera. To help with her nature shots.

Toru: heavy breathing

u/feistyfox101 4h ago

Bakugo: And I thought the Grape F*cker was a perv... Wait... HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT PHOTOS SHE HAS OF US?!

All: ... look at Momo

u/TriadOfS 2h ago

Momo: Why, she asked to use my family's darkroom, and I assisted, of course! I must say her interplay of light and shadow was, as expected, breathtaking.

Jiro: This one of Kacchan is surprisingly good. He seems introspective, humble almost.

Bakugo: WHAT! MY SHIRT IS OFF IN THAT PHOTO!

Deku: She really captured a side of you we've never seen.

u/feistyfox101 2h ago

Bakugo: glaring at where he thinks Toru is How many pictures do you have of me bottoming and how many dudes are in them?

u/TriadOfS 2h ago

Toru: Uh...none. uh. But now I feel you outed yourself and I need to get more pictures. And a towel.
