10 Times My Hero Academia Made Absolutely No Sense

The “My Hero Academia” (MHA) collection captivated the globe, earning its popularity for a reason. It’s an engrossing and engaging anime that pioneered a fresh take on superhero tales. Masterminded by Kohei Horikoshi, this series depicts a universe where most people possess a quirk-a distinctive ability ranging from minor traits like gliding on floors to significant transformations with powerful explosions. The scope of these abilities varies significantly, adding intrigue to the world’s appeal. From the outset, we’ve been captivated by this series; however, it’s fair to acknowledge certain aspects that seem somewhat illogical.

Regarding My Hero Academia (MHA), even after completion of the manga and the upcoming final season, enthusiasts continue to harbor numerous unanswered questions. These queries extend not only to the manga followers but also to those anticipating the final TV series. The passage of time has us reflecting on all that’s transpired in the series, and there are several aspects we’re still curious about – such as the functioning of the world, U.A.’s behind-the-scenes operations, and numerous other intricate details that occasionally hinder a seamless viewing experience. While these gaps don’t detract from the overall appeal of MHA, they do prompt some contemplation among viewers.

10) There’s Zero Dating at U.A.

Let’s talk about something obvious: choosing to be a hero is a courageous move, yet it can be stressful as well. However, it’s noteworthy that students at U.A. don’t seem to engage in romantic drama or seek distractions from their demanding lives. While they may have crushes, these feelings usually don’t develop into full-fledged relationships. It’s possible that there’s a rule against dating at U.A., but if so, it hasn’t been explicitly stated.

Regardless of the school’s dating policy, it’s still astonishing how calmly some students, like Ochacho for instance, seem to respond to their crushes in close proximity, even when the circumstances would typically provoke a stronger reaction. After all, we are aware that she harbors feelings for Midoriya, yet she remains unfazed when he strides past her without a shirt on – something that wouldn’t go unnoticed by your typical teenage girl.

9) U.A. Never Makes Students Face Consequences for Bad Behavior

It’s fair to note that MHA is brimming with captivating characters, and the students attending U.A. High School showcase a wide range of unique traits and personalities. However, one issue arises due to the fact that several students within this institution frequently display questionable behavior without any significant repercussions.

Initially, Bakugo Katsuki is strong and intimidating, but he initially behaves like a tormentor. Yes, he undergoes a transformation and we adore him for it, yet surprisingly, U.A. tolerates such actions without consequences. One might wonder if they truly intend to nurture a bully into a hero. The Licensing Exam serves as a reminder that such behavior is unacceptable in reality.

Afterward, let’s discuss Mineta. It isn’t necessary to elaborate on why his actions are questionable at best; he often comes across as a nuisance, going as far as attempting to peek while the girls are changing. However, it’s worth noting that although Mineta underwent an emotional transformation that helped him overcome his more timid side, the school never addresses or condemns his inappropriate behavior towards the female students. Given the school’s high status, this lack of consequence is quite unexpected.

8) The Slanted Entrance Exam is Proven to Be Too Limited

At U.A. High, Midoriya’s debut performance during the entrance exam left a lasting impression on us, making it particularly significant. However, it’s undeniable that the examination process exhibits a certain degree of skew and favoritism. Shinso’s inability to pass the entry exams underscores this disparity quite dramatically.

The entrance exam is extremely specialized, meaning only students with specific abilities or unusual quirks have a realistic chance of success. For instance, students like Shinso, who possess promising but unconventional skills, may not score any points and therefore fail to pass.

It seems reasonable to expect that United Alliance (U.A) would offer various kinds of tests, given that a single test may not cater to all potential heroes. This approach would benefit both the participants and society at large, as it ensures a diverse pool of talented individuals for the program.

7) Why Doesn’t Bakugo Face Constant Hearing Loss?

Katsuki Bakugo is famous for his fiery temperament and extraordinary ability to produce powerful explosions. This skill involves perspiring a substance similar to nitroglycerin from his hands, which he can subsequently ignite at will. Notably, Bakugo demonstrates considerable intelligence when devising innovative methods to exploit this talent effectively.

It’s important to note that regular exposure to explosions, which can be incredibly loud, often leads to severe hearing damage in most people. However, it hasn’t been stated anywhere that Bakugo is immune to this damage. Additionally, Chiyo Shuzenji has never mentioned needing to frequently heal his ears due to this damage. Interestingly, Bakugo’s frequent shouting might support the idea that he could have hearing loss, although he may not realize just how loud he’s being. Perhaps he is unaware of the volume of his voice.

6) The Endless Funds of U.A.

U.A. High School is a remarkable institution aimed at nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Given its significant role, it’s understandable that the school would have substantial resources. Yet, what strikes us is the seemingly inexhaustible financial reserves they seem to possess. This wealth is evident in their construction of elaborate training facilities, development of practice robots, and hosting of a grand festival. Although cost-saving measures such as quirks are employed to reduce expenses, it’s still a considerable amount of money.

Without delay, U.A. swiftly organized and constructed student dormitories, often without prior warning. To everyone’s surprise upon their return from vacation, these dorms were already completed and ready for occupancy. However, such rapid accomplishments rarely occur at no expense.

5) Why Didn’t Aizawa Warn His Students About the Licensing Exam

For the students in Class 1A, the Licensing Exam was a significant milestone, but they found themselves at a disadvantage compared to their peers from other schools due to the U.A. Sports Festival. In case you’ve forgotten, the U.A. Sports Festival was televised, allowing other students a glimpse into the unique powers and skills possessed by U.A. students.

It’s clear that the edge could be utilized to disadvantage students in a situation like this, as its potential consequences are now apparent. One might wonder why Aizawa didn’t prepare his students for such an outcome. Could it have been part of the test he had in mind? Given his foreknowledge and apparent concern about the issue, it seems unlikely that he was unaware of the risks involved.

4) U.A. Allowing Aizawa to Expel So Many Students

Regarding Aizawa, we’re still taken aback by the number of students he can dismiss. While we comprehend that it’s necessary (it’s better for them to be dismissed than risk their lives), it nonetheless appears overly severe. In fact, it’s been noted that Aizawa has shown a readiness to expel an entire class in the past.

As an observer at U.A. High, it’s been buzzing that Mr. Aizawa has sent home no less than 154 students. Given his (presumably) years of teaching experience, this figure is quite staggering, considering his current class only consists of 20 students. If this year isn’t an exception to the norm, it seems Mr. Aizawa has probably expelled the majority of his classes. It leaves me wondering how U.A. allows such a high expulsion rate for one teacher, and why does he alone carry such a reputation? Does he teach those students most likely to struggle?

3) Throwing Students Into the Deep End

It might have been anticipated that superhero training would involve challenges rather than joyful experiences, yet it’s startling to see how swiftly U.A. plunges its students into perilous circumstances. This isn’t just about the disastrous initial training battle; U.A.’s not to blame for that mishap. Still, it’s concerning that the school frequently exposes inexperienced students to risky scenarios.

Consider the typical time it takes for someone to master a skill. Students at U.A., despite receiving instruction on how to safely become a hero, often had only a few months of this training (at most) before embarking on internships and gaining practical experience. This seems rather early, especially without considering exceptional circumstances.

2) The Biology of Quirks Makes No Sense (But We Wish It Did)

In simpler terms, My Hero Academia’s unique abilities, known as ‘quirks,’ are truly remarkable and jaw-dropping, and we don’t intend to dispute that fact. Yet, it’s important to acknowledge that some of these quirks can be hard to understand from a scientific perspective. One noticeable issue is their seemingly random distribution. It would make more sense if abilities were tied to lifestyles or skills, but this isn’t always the case in the series.

These peculiarities that mimic technology are biologically unfounded in humans, yet they create intriguing characters. However, it raises the question of whether these tech-related idiosyncrasies would become obsolete just as rapidly as real-world technology does.

1) What Happens With the Quirk Singularity Theory?

In a world where everyone was once normal, now there’s an abundance of peculiarities, or ‘quirks’, as depicted in MHA. Individuals lacking these traits are now the exception rather than the rule. Furthermore, when individuals with distinct quirks breed, they can pass on unique combinations of their abilities, such as the Todoroki family demonstrating.

Our discussion now reaches its climax, focusing on a significant aspect that’s been highly anticipated throughout the series: the fate of the Quirk Singularity Theory. This theory posits a potential future where individuals possess quirks so immense and formidable that their control becomes virtually unmanageable.

As a devoted fan, I must say it’s quite ironic that Himiko Toga, with her unique quirk, served as a chilling reminder of the potential dangers in certain theories. During the Final War arc, Toga introduced her horrifying new move called the Sad Man’s Parade, painting a vivid picture of what could happen when someone possesses immense power and lacks emotional control. It was truly a haunting spectacle to behold!

It’s possible that some fans interpret Toga’s actions during the battle as contributing to resolving the Quirk Singularity Theory, but we find ourselves doubting this interpretation. Instead, this incident seems to underscore the challenges future generations might encounter. Since Horikoshi hasn’t provided any official confirmation on the matter, the theory remains uncertain and unresolved.
