Another Fanalysis: Present Mic & Aizawa
Taking into account that they’ve known eachother since highschool and that they’re close, it’s easy to assume they know a lot about eachother.
That being said:
During the final exams it was Aizawa that planned out the teacher/ student pair matchup. All the teachers agreed that they wanted to make them face whoever would be the most challenging, yet still provide an opportunity for success.
Handicaps Included: Weights around teachers wrists and ankles and some sliver of a chance to gain the upperhand over the teacher. (i.e: Principal left paths open for Kaminari/Ashido, Tsu was there for Tokoyami’s support, etc)
It was pretty obvious why Mic was chosen to face Jirou and Kouda. (Even Tsu/ Midoriya pointed this out) Mic would absolutely dominate them in a battle versus quirks.
Why would he pair Jirou and Kouda up with Mic if it was going to be so one sided? Aizawa knows his class and (seemingly) Mic better than anyone else. With Jirou’s quirk being a less nurtured form of Mic’s and Kouda’s animals fleeing from the painful sound, they could have easily failed.
If not for one key detail of the matchup:
Aizawa knew of Mic’s fear.
Why else would the forest be chosen for their matchup out of ALL the different training terrain? Such a crippling fear couldn’t be unknown by someone you’ve known for over a decade. Aizawa absolutely knew and used it as the student’s condition to pass if they were able to overcome their weaknesses and exploit his foible.
Thats just plain cruel Aizawa.
It seems his students aren’t the only victims to his tough love philosophy.
R.I.P Mic
