Here's a fully translated interview with Horikoshi. http://aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/175677002046 Notables: -Horikoshi wrote All Might vs AFO as if he was ending the series because that's how he wanted it to come off. -Horikoshi really likes dark, violent, troubling stuff and is fine with sad endings in general but finds it mentally/emotionally draining to write. He wasn't feeling how dark the Yakuza arc was in some areas. -He has/is expanding/expanded on characters past where he expected due to fan reaction; he thinks Toga and Tsuyu are the ones he feels like he has expanded/will expand on the most. -A while back he originally thought he was going to end the series at 30 volumes, but that's definitely not happening now and we're nowhere near the final battle. -He feels like people can have lots of different ideas of what constitutes a true hero. Some people think that would be someone like Deku, some people think that would be someone like Bakugou, and so on. -If he can get away with it, he would like to have a full feature for Mina and Sero. He would like to write more about the rest of the class in general, and has had a Shouji arc in the tank for a while he'd like to do.

Sero is cool too and I like his costume the most out of 1-A, so I'd be down with him getting the spotlight too. Shouji arc sounds interesting, I'd like to learn more about the guy. There's like a million pictures of these two in that outfit now and I love every single one of them.

Sero is basically Spider-Man with the personality of Michelangelo from TMNT.

Also the movie is basically canon, and Horikoshi was fairly involved in it.

Horikoshi not being comfortable with dark themes explains quite a bit about the way the Yakuza arc was run. The Kirishima flashback was probably a much needed relief for him.

I don't know how you'd get darker than the Yakuza arc without becoming an entirely different series. The Yakuza arc featured: child slavery, a child being cut apart repeatedly to manufacture weapons, multiple grisly violent onscreen murders via internal explosion/disintegration, a mentor figure dying horribly via impalement/disembowelment, a student hero being crippled perhaps permanently, and an ending which featured the villains murdering another hero and then torturing a restrained man.

Fabricated posted:Nighteye may as well have been a filler character and most of the outright murder was done to other villains and no-namers. It was a really dark arc, but it's not like anyone from the main cast died. I'm still really disappointed how little time we got with Nighteye. He was set up as Deku's next mentor, and while he did have a lot of impact it felt too quick to have much weight for me.

It was a really dark arc, but it's not like anyone from the main cast died. I mean, you don't need to start mass killing children for an arc to be ridiculously dark and edgy. Nighteye got more focus than many of the side characters in class A and was given an onscreen horribly gory death ending with him dying in a hospital bed while children watch. You could start killing the main cast kids for shock value, but that would be a very different series in tone, since MHA is fundamentally optimistic and "whoops trying to be heroes gave us a pile of teenage corpses" is fundamentally pessimistic. Fabricated posted:The dude never even really recanted on how he thought Deku wasn't the right candidate. He was basically kind of an rear end in a top hat to him the entire arc until he was on his deathbed and was like, "Huh, he changed the future. That's kinda cool. BLEH-*dies*" I actually kind of liked this. It's a super shounen trope to have the protagonist prove naysayers wrong, but Nighteye is a dude who spent his entire life and career bound by the specifics of his quirk, to the point where he's not really able to conceive of things that it can't predict. Deku worked for him for very little time before the raid, so it's not like the two of them had a ton of time to bond or for Deku to prove himself, and Mirio fighting Overhaul to a standstill even after having his power knocked out only gives weight to the idea that if Mirio had OFA he would be an unstoppable hero to someone who doesn't necessarily believe in Deku.

You have no idea how many people I see mad the kids aren't getting killed in arcs, like legitimately furious because anything bad happening to anyone doesn't matter unless it's the kids and injury is nothing because they just "walk it off"

tbf Deku gets injured very often, in fairly similar ways. So I can see that losing impact.

we're also dealing with utopian future-medicine so injuries are probably less of a big deal overall shigaraki got pumped full of so many holes he probably couldn't take a drink of water without it comically trickling out of him, and he was dandy a month later

It's less wanting stuff to be grimdark and more wanting to know that any tension or fear you feel for the main cast outside of the MC is tangible. If you know the author doesn't have the stones to kill the main cast members you like, then there's an element of tension that is removed. It's not totally gone because there's plenty of other dramatic aspects still in play, but you're not really afraid for the characters. I mean a good chunk of the reason All Might vs AFO was so emotional and intense is that we really weren't sure if All Might was going to die or not. We know Deku can't die (permanently) but there could be tension in what other losses he suffers on the way to his ultimate destiny. Him having to say goodbye to one of his friends for good is one of those things he could have to deal with.

is this the first major series of this manga author? its kinda neat seeing him acknowledging some stuff that he thinks could have gone better, but the talent is really really apparent. like i've reaad in retrospect he wishes he made bakugo less ridiculously mean, and that'd definitely be a good change because if you remove that sort of excessive bullying he becomes a pretty neat character (well, i think he has by this point anyway but that was definitely a tough part at the beginning)

Fabricated posted:It's less wanting stuff to be grimdark and more wanting to know that any tension or fear you feel for the main cast outside of the MC is tangible. Right now the major stakes are at the societal macro level rather than the Class A micro level - i.e. will hero society be able to maintain its current status quo with All Might gone, or will there be a backslide into lawless chaos like the pre-All Might days - which is why we're suddenly getting Endeavor stuff and more information on the current top pro heroes. Even if Horikoshi is gunshy about killing teenagers on screen, there's still a lot of ways for him to gently caress up their lives without doing so. I could envision an arc where UA runs out of chances and actually closes down forcing the kids to continue their education in some other way, or society begins to seriously crumble due to a loss of faith in heroes(which could ultimately lead to the kids having to restore it). I could also see a class member being removed from the hero game entirely, either voluntarily(fear of death/injury) or involuntarily(seriously injured or dequirked); for the latter, you can look at Mirio as a test case. He still exists as a character in the story but his dreams are basically dead, despite all his stiff-upper-lip optimism.

The way I see it there are two huge dangers to the main kid cast right now, sans death: That remaining quirk destroying bullet, and the identity of the traitor. Either of those could destroy a kid's future just as easily as death, though perhaps not as permanently.
