Theres not enough people talking about the Lady Nagant and All Might parallels.
Without Lady Nagant the era of peace would not have existed the same way the other way around aswell. They were both made to bear the weight of the entire soceity on their shoulders.
As much as I loved lady nagant returning it cannot be denied that she is putting her life at risk here just to save one more life (Izukus but yes) just like Toshinori.
They had both lost hope under the weight of their respective roles. For Toshinori it was after the All For One fight, for Kaina it was after the weight of her sins was to much to bear so she confronted the president leading her to be thrown in tartarus. And guess who reminded them of their heroic fire, brought back light to their eyes and hope for the future.
Midoriya fucking Izuku
Theres more, “I smile to show the pressure of heroes and to trick the fear inside of me.” Chapter 1.
Because even when Kaina was breaking down on the inside the commissions manufactured smile is still plastered on her face. Lets not forget they were both majorly injuried by all for one in the scenes where they are limping out of the hospital. I’d also like to mention about how Kaina at one point was hunting All For One just like Toshinori. They were also both had replacements, who were able to keep the light in their eyes through all of it because they had someone to look up to. They lost that fire because they lost (or in Kainas case didnt have) someone to put their faith in, until Midoriya Izuku. Together Tsutsumi Kaina- Lady Nagant and Yagi Toshinori - All Might are the symbol of peace. Kaina works in the shadows while Toshinori exists in the light both holding up the entirety of hero society.
