00:00Welcome everyone to the new series I'm starting. I've been following this series for a couple years now, I think.
00:06I caught up to it around chapter 100, but I will get into my own personal feelings about this series later in the video.
00:14So with this video, I'm going to go over the first chapter of the series.
00:18Since this is my first video on the series, the way my reviews work is I go over the story first,
00:24then I will talk about its anime adaptation, and with anything interesting coming out of it.
00:29I will mention and talk about.
00:31Then I will go over the English and Japanese voice cast, along with the characters,
00:35before finally analyzing and going in-depth with the story itself.
00:40And since this is the first video on the series, I will give you guys a roadmap of how I am going to tackle it.
00:47So after getting all those introductions out of the way, we can now begin.
00:51I hope you all enjoy.
00:53We begin with our main character, Izuku Midoriya, as a little kid protecting another kid from some bullies,
00:59who seemingly have superpowers, with his narration saying that he learned from a young age that people are not created equal.
01:07But we cut to him as a teenager, saying that was his first and last setback,
01:11seeing him come across a villain rampaging around the city,
01:15with a color double spread, which I will talk about later because it has a decent amount of story details in this picture.
01:22We then get a backstory on the world, saying that the first person born with powers was a glowing baby.
01:29My eyes!
01:30And soon after that, people all over the world started developing powers.
01:36And at the current time period, 80% of the world's population have powers.
01:41With a new power suddenly showing up, the world was thrown into chaos,
01:45until the job most people only dreamed about became a reality.
01:50The profession of being a hero.
01:52We see a hero getting ready to capture a villain,
01:55when another hero basically steals his kill and gets the glory from it.
02:03And we get further informed that after a bit of time,
02:06heroes were put into law as an official occupation,
02:10so they get government pay as well.
02:12We cut to Izuku's school, with all the kids wanting to become heroes,
02:16but one kid speaks up, saying not to lump him in with the other students.
02:21That guy being Katsuki Bakugo, the bully from when Izuku was a kid,
02:25who boasts that he will be getting into UA, the top hero school,
02:30and eventually surpass All Might.
02:32But the teacher also reveals that Izuku is also aiming to go to that school.
02:37And I'm like, the teacher knows he is quirkless,
02:40why would he tell the whole class when he knows he will get made fun of for it?
02:45Hey bruh, come on now dawg.
02:48Come on man.
02:50And of course he does, with Bakugo even threatening him over it,
02:54telling him that he basically doesn't deserve to be at the same school as him,
02:59since he has no quirk.
03:00He then bullies him even further after class,
03:03burning his notebook and throwing it out the window,
03:06telling him that he shouldn't even think about applying to UA.
03:09And then he literally tells him to go kill himself.
03:13Your life is nothing.
03:14You serve as zero purpose.
03:16You should kill yourself.
03:19He goes to get his notebook back,
03:21when we go into a flashback of him watching a YouTube video of All Might's debut as a hero.
03:27And the way he acts is the same way my dad said I would act,
03:31when me and him would get ready to watch Dragon Ball.
03:34He of course wants to be a hero, like him,
03:37but gets shot down by a doctor saying that he is one of the few people in his generation that don't have a quirk.
03:45This of course crushes his dreams of becoming a hero,
03:48and this scene with him and his mother crying did make me cry a bit when I first watched it in the anime.
03:53We then come back to the present, when a villain tries to use him as a disguise.
03:58But All Might arrives, saving him, but he faints afterwards.
04:02He wakes up, seeing All Might, freaking out about it,
04:05with them getting a little meta saying that he is even drawn in a different style.
04:10All Might having the villain captured goes to leave,
04:13but Izuku latches onto him, forcing him to land.
04:16We then cut to Bakugou, who gets attacked by a villain All Might just captured,
04:22wanting to take over his body as well.
04:24Going back, Izuku stops All Might before he leaves,
04:28and asks him if he can be a hero without a quirk,
04:31and doesn't notice All Might deflating.
04:33And I have to say, if I had to compare him to anything,
04:36it would be like a crackhead version of Yugi Moto.
04:39It's time to do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do!
04:45But he does assure him he is All Might.
04:48He explains that he was basically constantly flexing to keep his original form.
04:53He became like this because of an injury he obtained five years ago,
04:58and it took out his whole stomach and a decent chunk of his lungs.
05:02So he can only do hero work for a few hours a day at this point,
05:06and he tells him straight out that he can't become a hero without powers,
05:12and giving him advice to become a police officer if he still wants to help people.
05:17The sludge villain has begun to take over Bakugou,
05:20but he is resisting, firing off explosions all over the place,
05:23setting the area on fire.
05:25Get this shit off me!
05:30Get this baby shit off me!
05:32All the other heroes are basically throwing their hands up in the air
05:40because their quirk is not a good fit to rescue Bakugou.
05:44All Might also comes over to see what is happening,
05:47and realizes this is his fault for not paying a closer attention,
05:51since he dropped the villain when he was with Izuku.
05:54But then Izuku comes across the situation as well,
05:57and blames himself, hoping a hero will come.
06:00But then he sees the pleading in Bakugou's eyes and just starts sprinting to go save him,
06:06and just says he came because he looked like he needed to be saved.
06:10Inspiring All Might, he forces himself to go back into his muscle form
06:14and proceeds to blow the sludge villain away.
06:17After everything is finished, Bakugou confronts Izuku,
06:20telling him he never asked for his help, and he'll never need it,
06:24with Izuku now satisfied to live a more realistic life.
06:28Until All Might arrives.
06:30Changing back, he thanks him for inspiring him to act.
06:34Then we get a fantastic scene of All Might telling him out of all the heroes there,
06:39him, a quirk-less child, chose to dive in and save someone in need of help.
06:45Finally telling him what he wanted to hear all his life,
06:48that he can be a hero.
06:50And man, this scene got me tearing up too.
06:55Ending the chapter with Izuku telling us that this is how he became a great hero.
07:00So some changes the anime did was the opening scene,
07:03they didn't show Izuku getting beat up,
07:06but they did show the aftermath that wasn't shown in the manga.
07:10A cool transition the anime had was one of Izuku staring up at the sky,
07:14and then his teen-aid self splashing the puddle reflecting it.
07:18And I have to say, the All Might saving Izuku from the sludge villain
07:21was better with it scattering,
07:23and the gleaming light filling the scene with Izuku slowly fainting.
07:28Definitely an improvement from the manga.
07:30And I like all the American symbolism with All Might,
07:33since he is half American and half Japanese.
07:36They also got rid of the scene of when Bakugou's friends were smoking,
07:39with him worrying if they get caught, since it would reflect badly on him.
07:45Which is understandable why they would cut that out.
07:47And the last thing I want to say the anime improved on was All Might's scar.
07:52In the manga, you can't really tell how bad it is just by looking,
07:56but in the anime, it looks more gruesome,
07:59since you see all the surgical marks and the bruising around it.
08:03And I will say it here,
08:05I will also be going over the intros and outros to the series in this section,
08:09but I will wait on doing them until all the spoilers in them are shown.
08:14So I will go over the first opening and ending at the end of my part 4 review.
08:19So going over the double spread at the start of the chapter,
08:22we see how society views villains in this universe.
08:25Nobody is panicking, with some people not even paying attention to it,
08:30and others are even recording it on their phones.
08:33And we see the two main jobs of the heroes,
08:36which are to apprehend the criminal and to ensure the civilian's safety,
08:40which is what Death Arms is doing.
08:42Then the contents page has Izuku pushing All Might.
08:46For the chapter cover, we get Izuku walking into UA with Bakugo Uraraka and Iida.
08:52Then we get a small bio of All Might about his birthday and him being 7'2 in his muscle form.
08:58Then Horikoshi, the creator, says that he likes drawing him,
09:02but because of how much shading he has, it costs him a lot of pen tips.
09:07But he then also explains that no one liked him when he showed his design to them,
09:13saying he was too old and he should be changed into a pretty boy of all things.
09:17I feel like they underestimate how much young boys would look up to a fit older male figure.
09:24And since he got all that criticism, he decided to put his all into drawing him,
09:29and I would say it paid off with how popular he became around the world.
09:33He also goes into his skinny form design with his eyes being almost completely black
09:39because they are sunken in so much,
09:42with the still brightly gleaming pupils being the true essence of the symbol of peace shining through.
09:49You are a worthless bitch-ass nigga.
09:53Your life literally is as valuable as a summer ant.
09:59I'm just gonna stomp you.
10:00You're gonna keep coming back.
10:02I'm gonna seal up all my cracks.
10:03You're gonna keep coming back.
10:04Why?
10:05Because you keep smelling the syrup,
10:07you worthless bitch-ass nigga.
10:09You serve no purpose in life.
10:11Your life is nothing.
10:12You serve zero purpose.
10:15You should kill yourself now
10:17and give somebody else a piece of that oxygen and ozone layer
10:22that's covered up so that we can breathe inside this blue trapped bubble.
10:25Because what are you here for?
10:27To worship me?
10:28Kill yourself.
10:29I mean that with 100%, with 1000%.
10:32All right, first up on the chopping block is Bakugo.
10:36He is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto,
10:40who has also voiced Shinjiro from Kill la Kill,
10:44Gyachio from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure,
10:47and listening to it,
10:48it's definitely him with how much he rages,
10:51and he plays young Kuma from One Piece.
10:54His English voice actor is Clifford Chapin,
10:57who also voices Yonji from One Piece,
11:00and Kani from Attack on Titan.
11:02Now with Bakugo,
11:04he definitely makes a bad first impression,
11:07being a bully at school,
11:08and just straight up telling Izuku to go kill himself.
11:12And because of how powerful his quark is,
11:14letting him cause explosions,
11:16he sees himself as above all the other normal people,
11:20wanting to get into the best hero school,
11:22and eventually surpass everyone's idol,
11:25All Might.
11:26But then there is Izuku,
11:28the literal lowest of the low in his eyes,
11:30because he has nothing special about him,
11:33unlike the rest of the classmates.
11:35And even from when they were kids,
11:37he liked picking on him,
11:38because it made him feel better about himself,
11:41seeing how far above him he was.
11:44And he was planning to leave him behind in middle school,
11:47since he knows there was no way he could follow him,
11:50since he would truly start his climb to his true goal.
11:54But when he heard Izuku is applying to the same school,
11:58he saw this as him thinking he could be somewhere near his level.
12:03And if he somehow did get into that school,
12:06it would be tainted with his presence,
12:08since only the best of the best are supposed to be there.
12:12But then he gets hit with a reality check when a villain attacks him.
12:16He wasn't able to fight him off,
12:18and he was making the situation even worse,
12:20by recklessly causing explosions,
12:23sending the area on fire,
12:24endangering everyone else.
12:26Then we saw once he couldn't fight back anymore,
12:29he truly asked for help,
12:31but didn't expect Izuku to be the one to answer that call.
12:35And in that moment,
12:36he did feel some kind of worry for Izuku,
12:39but then shortly felt frustration,
12:41since he feels he was so weak,
12:43someone like Izuku had to come and save him.
12:46Then after the incident,
12:48he wasn't even paying attention to the heroes praising him,
12:51since he feels like he doesn't deserve it.
12:54Then the last thing he does is to try to reassert his confidence
12:57by berating Izuku again for saving him,
13:00telling him that he didn't need his help,
13:03and to not look down on him.
13:05Storming off,
13:06but unlike the other times at school,
13:08he didn't physically threaten him.
13:09I will have a lot more to talk about with him later,
13:13but even in this first chapter,
13:14he had a decent amount of character.
13:16Next up is the symbol of peace himself,
13:19All Might,
13:20who is voiced by Kenta Miyake,
13:23who has also voiced Morale from One Piece,
13:26Scar from Fulmana Alchemist Brotherhood,
13:29and Avdol from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
13:32His English voice actor is Christopher Sabat,
13:35most famous for voicing Vegeta from Dragon Ball,
13:38Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho,
13:41and Alex Armstrong from Fulmana Alchemist.
13:44All Might is basically the Superman of the heroes in this world,
13:48and he seems to live up to it,
13:50since he finishes his fights quickly and seemingly easily.
13:54But we see he has the dynamic of
13:56that he is not the indomitable hero he seems like on the surface.
14:02He was unstoppable,
14:03but an injury he got a few years back took that away from him.
14:07And we will come back to that fight,
14:09since I'm going to spoil it now,
14:11he lied about who gave him that injury.
14:14Since he knows that he is the major pillar keeping peace in Japan,
14:19he hides what he is now,
14:21since it would cause panic and a rise in crime.
14:24Even if he can only stay in his original form for three hours,
14:28he will still do his best to keep the peace.
14:30And now, he has met young Izuku,
14:33who has brung a spark back into his life,
14:36and will seemingly train him to become a hero.
14:39And finally, we have our main character, Izuku,
14:42who is voiced by Daiki Yamashita,
14:46who has also voiced Narencia from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure,
14:50and Yushiro from Demon Slayer.
14:53His English voice actor is Justin Briner,
14:56who has voiced Yu Jin-ho from Solo Leveling,
14:59and Nasu no Yoichi from Drifters.
15:04So, Izuku probably had some of the worst luck imaginable,
15:08starting out.
15:09Being born quirkless when both of your parents have them,
15:12and so does 80% of the world.
15:15He then worships All Might, wanting to be a hero,
15:17but gets told that can never happen.
15:20And to finish it off,
15:22he has had a lifelong bully in Bakugo.
15:24So, like he says, he was taught from a young age,
15:28not all people are created equal.
15:30I also want to speak on Izuku's mother,
15:32who apologizes to Izuku as a kid,
15:35because in her mind, as a parent,
15:38feels like it's her fault for being his mother,
15:41and him not getting a quirk.
15:43Which is something a parent might do.
15:45Blaming themselves if their child came out,
15:48quote-unquote,
15:48And in that moment,
15:51he wanted her to still say he can be a hero,
15:54but this made him feel even worse.
15:57But even with this setback,
15:59he still does stand up to Bakugo,
16:01when he was bullying a kid,
16:03and still dreams of becoming a hero.
16:06He keeps on writing strategies down in his notebook,
16:09and still applied to UA.
16:11Then he got the high of meeting his idol,
16:13All Might,
16:14and then the low of him telling him
16:16his dream isn't possible.
16:19Then his true hero moment
16:20came with him trying to save Bakugo,
16:23not caring about the years of torment he put him through,
16:26just wanting to save him.
16:28Then afterwards,
16:29he gets reprimanded by the heroes
16:31when they themselves were failing at their hero duties.
16:35And then he finally gets the acknowledgement
16:37that he wanted with All Might telling him
16:40what he always wanted to hear.
16:43That he can become a hero.
16:46Which, like I said before,
16:47is an exciting development.
16:49And we'll have to see what happens next.
16:52Then to finish off here,
16:53I will talk about the world in general.
16:56In the opening scene,
16:57we already see the different ways
16:59people may see their quirks.
17:01With one just casually using it
17:04like it's just something he can do,
17:06one looking in amazement of her powers,
17:09and she will most likely become a hero.
17:11And lastly,
17:13someone who looks like they cannot control their quirk
17:15and is panicking because of it.
17:17All of these concepts will be explored
17:19as the series goes on.
17:21And then,
17:22with the majority of people in the world having powers,
17:25it would create chaos.
17:27And now,
17:27it's been at least a century later,
17:29with people just seeing it as a part of life
17:32when a person starts rampaging with their powers.
17:35It is truly a great setting for a story,
17:38and I am looking forward to examining
17:40and exploring it with you guys.
17:42Things I'm going to review for this whole series
17:44is of course the manga and the anime,
17:47and two side mangas being
17:49My Hero,
17:50Vigilantes,
17:50and Team-Up Missions.
17:52I will also be reviewing the movies and the OVAs,
17:56and I will be making videos on the filler content,
17:58but I will throw them in their own videos.
18:02I have three planned.
18:04If you have any questions,
18:05of course ask them in the comments.
18:07So with all this fondly done,
18:09I would like to know what you guys think,
18:11and what was your first impression of the story
18:13when you first read or watched it.
18:15I will have a playlist for the series.
18:17If you're seeing this in the future,
18:19go make sure to check it out.
18:20I would ask that you like the video,
18:22and subscribe if you want to come on this journey with me,
18:25and if not,
18:26that's alright.
18:27I am glad you made it this far.
18:29With all that out of the way,
18:30I will see you guys later.
18:32Bye guys.
