I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD TALK MORE ABOUT THIS SCENE. This didn’t have to hit so hard. PLEASE TALK MORE ABOUT THIS SCENE.

DUDE I LEGIT LOVE THIS SCENE. Its such a tonal shift because that big ass bomb drop reveal comes from the comic relief character who everyone thought was kinda stupid. Like NAH MAN, he’s actually one of the smartest there. His personality is stupid but his mind is sharp af.
And its also the fact that Aizawa was hurt. LIKE THAT IS HIS BEST FRIEND OF THE LAST 15 YEARS. If he’s gotta hunch as to why Aizawa nearly got killed he’s gonna say it. And I love how Mic is so straightforward with it because he knows if you withhold important information from the group and try to lone-wolf it, someone might end up in the hospital or worse. He HAS to drop his voice because that’s the only way people are going to take him serious.

like even during and after the kurogiri/shirakumo reveal, he was still in Mic Mode - barely holding it together, sure, but he’s still in it.
