Nezu the Prophet

Due to him being around humans so much and having clearly adapted to human customs very well, we haven’t seen Nezu act much like his..species very often.

However there is a point into the manga and anime where we see Principal Nezu climb into furniture. Which is so far the closest we’ve seen him act in a ‘natural’ way, for his kind.

There he starts climbing, pushing himself up and onto the couch.

Then Principal Nezu gets into a more balanced position and pushes himself off the side of the couch, with a paw.

Which then leads us to see Nezu crawling along the couch before he sits down and lectures All Might. But during this small set of frames, we get to see how Principal Nezu walks.

While it is true Principal Nezu wall upright like a human and appears very comfortable doing so. Due to the fact that he isn’t a human and infact a....uh...another animal. It would not be surprising to see that Nezu has other forms of walking around.

Which he possibly does in his alone time or when not that many are around, to not gain too much attention. Which would help prevent unsuspecting humans asking what exactly he is, since throughout the series Nezu seems a bit self aware of that fact.

Though this does make me wonder if in a battle or similar scenario, you would see Principal Nezu sprinting across a battle field on all four. Considering the fact that Nezu has some heavy shoes, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that they would slow him down, while running in an upright position.

Perhaps Nezu would run upright when messing with students, getting around the school, late to meetings or even an all out brawl with villains who are attacking UA.

Something my night brain came up with a little while back. In my mind principal Nezu is an absolute savage and a feral rat bastard. There is this sort of a quiet conflict between his outer appearance and personality I find hilarious. Aizawa has tried to resign 9 times.
