Tecchou is one of the characters (along with Teruko) who intrigued me the most in the entire DoA arc. Despite having multiple chapters dedicated to him (and the HD), we know very little about his character. I thought it would be fun to try and dissect Tecchou's morality a bit :D
Firstly, his introduction panel.
Maybe Tecchou is more of a threat than we give him credit for. Next, we have the line 'steel in body and mind' - it's likely that Tecchou is incredibly rooted in his ideals kunikida manifested and in 'goodness' Despite his eccentricities, Tecchou is actually an extremely determined and strong-minded character. The 'meteoric slash' is something I'll come back to later.
At first glance, this is just Jouno and Tecchou quipping at each other- but look at Tecchou's expression. His eyes are closed (almost reverently and in respect of something) like he's talking about something that's inherently true to him. While he and Jouno treat it as a joke in the next panel - it's still clear that Tecchou believes in some kind of 'truth' of this world. I can't begin to guess at what it is - but clearly, it's something that matters a lot to him.
It's clear to anyone, bright as day, that Jouno doesn't particularly like Tecchou. And in this panel, we can genuinely see Tecchou's slight confusion at realising that Jouno hated him. This happens on numerous occasions where Tecchou is seemingly 'oblivious' to the feelings and things happening around him. (It could be that he's just unobservant owo)
When Tecchou is incredibly focused on something, he forgets that everything/everyone else around him exists.
Like this, for example:
And this reflects when he's attacking people too.
While Jouno is gloating talking, Tecchou doesn't even bother truly 'looking' at his enemies. He's just entirely focused on killing them. He didn't seem to care that he was attacking a literal child.
Next, look at these panels.
His hair covers either his entire face or covers an eye. I think it's incredibly reminiscent of 'blinding' yourself. Tecchou is so incredibly driven and has a needle-point's intensity that his 'virtues' and 'goodness' that he fights for blind him from the truth, simply because he doesn't look at the bigger picture - goodness and badness are not something that intersects for him.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have virtues and morals - he does, more so than anyone.
He believes so much in the intrinsic goodness of the world and people in it, and beyond anything, he simply wants to protect the it and keep it safe for innocent people.
To finally finish this (incredibly long) analysis - I think this truly sums up Tecchou better than anything else.
He believes that it is his job to punish the wrongdoers, to bring criminals to justice and that his sword is a method of doing so. For him, there is no grey morality. If you commit evil, you deserve the appropriate punishment, no matter your reasons. But this mindset is what genuinely blinds him from the messy reality of the world - and the way his own morality turns him into a 'monster' in the pursuit of justice.
Finally, (I swear this is the end), while I couldn't read the IRL Suehiro-sensei's Plum Blossoms in Snow, a common symbolism of plum blossoms is 'preserving the sanctity of life' and in Confucianism, plum blossoms also stood for 'principles and the value of virtues.' Sounds like someone we know :D
And now I'm going to get poetic, simply because I can. The 'meteoric slash' likely refers to the way his blade flashes in the air when he fights with it. Much like how evilness is often associated with darkness, its Tecchou's blade that streaks across it like a meteor slash and brings light to them.
~Thank you for reading!
in order,
the yttd brainrot hit really bad so i got around to making some text posts. no 3-1b spoilers here - i’ll be making a set of those later. having way too much fun with these. hopefully i find enough resources for good 3-1b posts.
ocarina of time: adulthood
let him rest
art for a video idea i doubt i’ll ever finish lol
maybe i’ll continue it someday?? the lyrics a re super fitting so…perhaps…
song is here
hi you can prolly guezz who diz (::< surprise me amigo ‼️
HI AMIGO :] here you go! hope you enjoy this surprise!! mwahahaha its yuo!
you're... afraid of dying, arent you?
SPOILER FREE MEMES CUZ 3-1B IS KILLING ME :)
Semi regular reminder that
James Bond is trans.
The main characters are all patriots. Not nationalists. Not loyalists. Patriots. They put the people before the nation or the government.
Sherlock has explicitly said he is not into women.
Mary is insanely perceptive and great at deduction and reasoning to the point she impressed Sherlock.
John Watson is a ladies man but simps like a mfer for Mary.
All three Moriarty brothers are deeply disturbed individuals with Louis being the most stable yet second most ruthless.
Albert shows signs of deep depression and OCPD.
Moran and Moneypenny are incredible and dynamic characters.
Sherlock and William are massive simps for each other.
While there aren't many women in the series owing to the lack of women in the original medium, the women that ARE in the story are all badasses.
The treatment of material in the story, particularly given the era it is set is, is very progressive. From the way mental health is handled (without demonizing the person but by getting them to work on themselves) to Sherlock growing to actually respect women through Irene and getting Moran to accept Bond into the team as well as see him as a man. Yes, people would not have been this progressive at the time but team Moriarty are literally a group of social misfits and outcasts fighting against an oppressive, discriminatory system and are all about found family. That's very lgbtq+ of them.
Edit- discreetly adding an edit here to let you know this is about yuumori, I'm so sorry for all the confusion.
My bad! (。ノω\。)
is it four in the morning? ya. do i haven requests i gotta get done? ya. will that stop me? no.
first of all, the main ensemble cast of MHA gets along so well, but what many people don’t know is that while filming the first few episodes the original casting choice for Aizawa had to drop the show entirely due to family issues. Thankfully Aizawa didn’t show up much in the first few episodes, so many of the shots he was in could easily be refilmed and edited in after they had recast the actor, which was stressful.
After the family issues subsided the man who was originally going to play Aizawa still got to feature on the show as Yokumiru Mera, aka the man who runs the provisionary licensing exams.
A lot of the student actors can relate and share some personality traits with their characters, however it is more of a challenge for more of the outlandish characters, such as Mineta, Iida, Bakugo, etc.
“With [Mineta], you have to wrap your sense of reality. You gotta have an open minded view, and find something, anything that you can relate to yourself. For example, when I was younger I often valued my self worth on the approval of others, and Mineta kinda does that too, in his own way.”
“I’ve always been the type of kid to bend the rules, so Iida admittedly came as a challenge. I always saw rules as limitations, where Iida sees them as guide lines for success, but even that world view begins to shift after the Stain Arc— which is probably my personal favorite arc, by the way—. He walks the fine line between comedic relief and a serious character, which is probably what I love most about him.”
“I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t the nicest kid in elementary. I bullied some kids. I’m not proud, but it definitely helped me in terms of figuring out just who Bakugo is. People put down others because they feel low themselves. They want to level the playing feild, make people feel like shit cause they feel like shit. Bakugo can come off as arrogant but he’s pretty insecure when you think about it. Pushing around Deku, calling his classmates extras or ‘creative’ nicknames, he does it not necessarily because he doubts his own ability, but because he’s scared that what he has to offer won’t end up being good enough. He’s powerful, sure, but is he most powerful?” “Do you think that keep him up at night.” “[Laughs] Maybe, I don’t know. He needs his beauty sleep though, so I hope not.”
The cast shares a bunch of inside jokes with one another, their personal favorite and longest running gag is the “Aizawa Smile”, which is basically the smike you made for your first grade picture day.
They’ll be shooting lines back and forth at one another and when someone blanks, they’ll slowly creep their mouth up into this horrendous smile
Iida and Mina do it the most, followed closely behind by Denki and Aoyama.
Speaking of Aoyama, he absolutely hates his utility belt
It’s so heavy!
And lowkey v itchy
not fun
Also, Aoyama wasn’t originally French, but after nonchalantly using french words in conversation, the creative team was like “this mans is onto something.”
The makeup process?
Awful
Mina and Koda have it worst, but Jiro and Hagakure don’t have much fun either.
While Hagakure doesn’t have to paint her body green, she does have to wear a giant body sock, which is equally, if not more annoying since breathing can be hard as shit to do in that thing.
“At first I thought her quirk was a thing she could turn on and off, ya know, like everyone else, but apparently not! I learned that the kard way...” “[Laughs] I still remember your face! ‘I gotta wear this for how long?!’” “[Stifling Laughter] Oh yeah, well I’d like to see you try. Let’s swag, I’m Ashido, you’re Hagakure.” “Oh, you’re on!!”
Sadly and for very obvious reasons they could not do that on show
However after countless begs to the coustume crew, they let Mina try on Hagakure’s body suit and do some typical action stunts in it.
Mina’s never complaining about the makeup again.
You can not breathe in that thing!
Todoroki’s scar is partially real, althought how he got it was completely different.
“Ok, this is embarrassing, so I was cooking with my mother when I was about 7 or 8, and we were boiling eggs. The phone rang, so she told me she’d be back and to watch the eggs. The eggs started to make some weird sounds so I tried to check up on the eggs, but since i was short, my way of checking was by tilting the put over. A good chuck of it actually splashed around my eye and not on it, but I guess it looks cooler with a full 1/4 of my face burnt. Sorry I didn’t get it right the first time [Laughs].”
His hair color is a dark brown, He wears a wig, but the heterchromia is real.
People have told him he looks like Zuko from Avatar and he humbly accepts the compliment every time.
He’s a big ATLA fan.
But he’s a cloest fan.
Sato is actually a novice/going on advance baker and chef.
The stuff he makes is pretty good, but it often takes him more than one attempt to het the recipe right.
Everyone loves it when he just pops on set w a bunch of goodies.
Momo in particular
Cause like
girl can’t cook
but she tries!!
Her and Sato actually became pretty close because of this.
Although no one will eat what she makes
No one can stomach it.
Mineta and Aoyama tried once and they almost got food poisoning.
Sero is actually insecure about having pointy elbows irl so playing Sero was pretty sweet.
He’s also very quiet.
Like you wouldn’t know he was there unless you’re looking for him.
It’s not cause he’s shy, the boy just doesn’t like vocalizing his thoughts
Or more of he doesn’t know how to.
Meanwhile, Shoji can be such a big chatterbox
Basically Midoriya but his mind hops from one topic to the next.
He’ll be in an interview answering a question about how he feels his character is being developed and what he wishes for his character in the future but then he’ll start talking about his favorite villians in the show and fun spoilery moments he can’t wait to see on the big screen and stfu Shoji you’re ruining the show >:( don’t say spoils!!
Shoji was born w a cleft lip, and he used to be insecure about it when he was younger but like...
fuck it, y’know??
Kaminari can actually be as stupid as his character at times
not that he means too
it’s mostly him just misplacing things he either
A. Just had in his hands
B. Are still in his hands
C. He passed off to someone else two minute ago
He’s literally so sweet though
Like he’s so close w everyone in the cast
and yes
Bakusquad is real
Except the true Bakusquad consists of Bakugo, Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, Uraraka, Iida, and Hagakure
Which shocks no one after they released that one episode w all the behind the scenes footage cause they are all so competitive
They have so many miniscule challenges and whatnot going on
But let it be known that the Bakusquad isn’t like some sort of super elite group
They are just the ones who are always trying to one up eachother
Selfies happen all the time
Everyone w Everyone
Mid-makeup selfies
Post-shoot selfies where everyone looks and feels like a wreak
Script reading selfies
Cuddle selfies
Many of the casts memebers will just sorta
cuddle eachother
and it’s okay
sometimes you just need it
And it helps fuel the shipping wars
No one takes sides except on Toshinko
Everyone ships Toshinko
People just want Midoriya to have an active father figure in his life and whoops now he’s a legitimate father figure in his life haha
It’s sort of a joke ship, sort of a real thing??
Like when fans ask “What’s your favorite ship??” Or “What ship do you want to see become canon?” The answer is always defaulted to Toshinko.
The actors of Toshi and Inko are also married iro so that might be a reason too
Speaking of Toshi!!
He was almost an automatic shoe-in for his role, but they still had to find a guy to play his buff “alter ego”, All Might.
Which lead to them hiring his cousin, who was originally a full-time bathing suit model.
Eh, he had time to spare though.
Toshi and All Might are such a vibe
They’re the dads™️
Might make more cause honestly i eat this AU up >:)
