MY FAVORITE IZUOCHA SCENE ANIMATED : AN ANALYSIS

...yet another overanalysis

My hero academia, or My hero's academia?

Boku no hero academia means My hero academia (but what if it meant 'My hero's academia?)

As we know, Izuku's hero is Ochaco.

(Spoilers ahead)

We also know that Izuku loses his quirk, and it stops focusing on his academia. So why? Why is it named my hero academia?

It was meant to be My hero's academia.

Ochaco's Hero Academia, that also happens to be Izuku's.

She doesn't lose her quirk, and she continues to be eligible academically (Quirkless weren't allowed til Izuku.) Her journey continues to rely on her hero academia, unlike Izuku, who can't be (at least he thought he couldn't) be a hero anymore.

The parallels between this scene and the epilogue are fantastic, too.

In this scene, both Izuku and Ochaco are crying. One confessing something to the other.

Something about love and grief.

In the epilogue, both Izuku and Ochaco are crying. One confessing something to the other.

Something about love and grief. Izuku's love for her and his grief over their past tightly knitted friendship.

This shows they still love each other, still grieve over Toga, but also over their past relationship now.

His love for Ochaco, and their grief for Toga. All in one scene, redone. To give us deja vu.
