In the world of My Hero Academia, there are some really amazing heroes, villains and quirks. This incredible series features a massive battle that truly brings the story full circle! Fans have always thought of Mineta as one of the weaker characters, but there is something major to consider. He played an important role in this massive storyline that changed everything forever.
The Final War Arc
All For One has been known to be one of the strongest villains. In the Final War Arc, even lesser known heroes stepped up for the fight! This epic battle shows how amazing My Hero Academia really is. Not only do we get to see a group of pros showing up to save the day. We get to see this inspiring group of kids step up as well!
But one of the most amazing, least expected turns happens to showcase just how talented Mineta is!
Mineta's Moment of Bravery:
Fans never really imagined Mineta being someone to help the main story really reach a climax. It appeared that Mineta has really stepped up in his latest storyline, giving audiences one of the most unexpected turning points.
It begins with the massive clash where All For One really gains control over many heroes. This begins back in chapter #385 and carries over into episode #156 of My Hero Academia. Even after being fully dominant over these heroes. He attempts to continue his rampage and even takes Hawk's Quirk as he targets Tokoyami, who has the Dark Shadow Quirk. While things could have gone awry in a massive, terrible moment. Mineta had his big chance to showcase his true hero qualities. Mineta’s hair and use of his quirk was just enough to create a massive disruption for All For One.
Awakening All For One's Past
What is remarkable is how this simple act played a critical moment in this series!
Chapter #407 gave us an incredible amount of backstory to the main villain All For One. It turned out that All For One, was forced into having to fight many battles. He was surrounded by non-powered foes! It seems one of those major confrontations created this critical moment.
- His little brother Yoichi was fighting with him to try and protect the pair and made it impossible for this unstoppable villain to resist.
- Yoichi really brought everything to the forefront by using an item to really force the older brother to stop hurting others.
What My Hero Academia hints at, is how the actions from Mineta caused All For One to remember just how important his past really is!
The Importance Of Emotional Control:
The main antagonist is going through his emotional rollercoaster! We all thought it might just be over. That wasn't quite the end though for All For One.
You can feel the emotions coming back into his story.
- All For One couldn't resist attacking All Might, a formidable opponent that should be left out at such a fragile moment. What really impacted All For One is that he chose the very thing that was going to cause this massive change.
- Mineta's simple actions set the stage for the end, but he chose that final battle!
It could have really gone sideways for the other side and this could have led All For One to his total victory. In hindsight! Having the incredible, intense fight with Armored All Might and Bakugo, caused immense damage, that's why All For One was not at full strength for this key moment!
Mineta and The Message Of My Hero Academia
This is just one incredible character, showing some intense growth from the start of the series.
While we see amazing and spectacular heroes throughout the show, Mineta shows us what My Hero Academia really wants to say. That heroes come from all places.
- Mineta is well-known as being cowardly.
- He can be somewhat disrespectful at times
He went through the arc! Changed his outlook on life and found something pretty profound.
- The act of selflessness!
- Being a dedicated team player
- That even the slightest act can save the world!
It goes way beyond the incredible power he's seen. Mineta, although with the least powerful Quirk he proves to be an unforgettable hero!
For anyone who follows My Hero Academia or hasn't gotten a chance to see what made it so popular. That core idea that everyone has their chance to be an awesome, inspiring person is what made it such a memorable show and may leave the same unforgettable memories.
