From bullying to actually caring about people, especially Midoriya, Bakugo has come a long way. However, people like you and me have been liking him since the very beginning. Ever wondered why?…

I am 33 chapters in and Kaiju No. 8 has been consistently good, from a shonen manga’s viewpoint.

Hypocrisy repeats and redeems itself. Emiya Shirou has gone through so much change in the Heaven’s Feel route. It’s extremely fascinating to see such an immaculate and elegant characterization of an ideal. Along with that, it was also very pleasing to witness how selfish and selfless a person can become when nurtured by the circumstances. The fate of Emiya was quite a tragic yet astonishing one, with a lot of ups and downs in his journey. That said, today I am going to try writing a review on Heaven’s Feel Trilogy.…

If we are talking about the most powerful quirk in existence, then One For All comes to the mind first. All Might has shown how reliable he can be with the power that was bestowed upon him. It is also quite devastating in nature and directly contrasts All For One. But there’s something hideous about the power. And today, I am going to unveil the mystery surrounding OFA. The article draws out every prominent information that has OFA in it. What Exactly is One For All? One for All is a strong quirk that grants…

The fate of heroes and villains is entirely dependent upon the ‘Quirk Singularity Theory’. It is literally the breaking point in the world of MHA. The quirks have been everchanging and surpassing the limit with every new generation. At first, the theory was disregarded and mocked heavily. That said, people didn’t even believe in the ‘collapse of the future’. But there was one person who did. And he changed everything. In this article, I will be exploring every facet of ‘Quirk Singularity’ in context with AFO, OFA,…

The jujutsu world has quite an astonishing and eccentric setting to it. Insanity is second nature in the society there. So you don’t expect to see a shaman who is living a normal life. But Kento Nanami does. He is your average salaryman whose goal is to earn money. However, there’s this mysterious yet ordinary fascination around him.

One For All is a pretty powerful and mysterious quirk. And in recent chapters, Deku unleashed a new quirk from One For All, Black Whip. But how does Deku get black whip? After Izuku got the power, he relentlessly trained in order to acclimatize with his newfound quirk. Still, the astronomical amount of effort he put in wasn’t enough to control even one-fifth of the power. This depicts how difficult it is to control OFA. So what happens when a new power erupts out of nowhere? What if the vast tendrils of dark energy…

In a world dominated by heroes and villains, there needs to be a gray area. Hawks fall under that patch. He is this nonchalant, cool, and promising hero. But there is something about him that seems upsetting. There is this cloak of mystery around him that makes him a tad bit doubtful. At present, he’s the second-best pro hero, following the footsteps of Endeavor. And he’s also a member of the League of Villains. So, does that make him some kind of a traitor? This article will explore the lingering question and a bit on…

Simply put, Noragami is a story that puts a heavy emphasis on ‘people as well as gods can change, for the better’. We all have been in that situation where we don’t know what will happen next. We get lost and scared. It’s not the darkness that makes us anxious but the idea that we are alone in a scornful journey. Noragami narrates the tale of what if we had people who were willing to go on that journey with us. Synopsis: The protagonist Yato will indulge himself in any chore for 5 yen. Why? Because he wants to…

Endeavor is currently the number one pro hero. He is burdened with the responsibilities and expectations of people who admire heroes. In the recent chapters, his character progression has taken quite an abrasive yet positive turn. The readers were exposed to Endeavor as a father and husband which allowed them to understand the character more. It also led to the untangling of selfish, unforgiving, and distressing acts of the ‘Number 1’ which puts forward a necessary question: Can the horrendous actions of a hero be…

'Stumble forward, get confused and then struggle to understand things around you' Deku finds himself in a very similar situation. He’s in an open field of mazes that reeks of barbaric and villainous gazes. The recent chapters of MHA have established two things very clearly. One, Deku won’t be able to pass his quirk most probably. And second, he has to absolutely defeat All for One in any manner. The following article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia manga. Read ahead at your discretion! A Quick Note On One…

Controversies are a normal norm in the animanga community. It happens every now and then with someone or the other but this year it's different. You know it's serious when a 40-year-old child is a pedophile in his second life. Mushoku Tensei is the talk of the town with its over the top portrayal of inexcusable and despicable actions. But what if it's not a controversy and the line is being stretched too far by the people? Or what if the line isn't being stretched enough? An Iconic Introduction: From the first…

Controversies happen in the animanga community now and then with someone or the other. But this year it's different. You know it's serious when revenge rape is being glorified. Redo of Healer is the talk of the town with its portrayal of abhorrent and unjustifiable actions. But what if it's not a controversy and the line is being stretched too far by the people? Or what if the line isn't being stretched enough? Well, in the case of RoH, the line was never there. Redo of a Healer. Where do I even start? The show…

"But you don’t get to tell me that I was ‘unlucky’. Being here with them… I was happy!" Horikoshi Kohei has intricately woven a world of heroes and villains. It is not drenched in black and white colors. There's ambiguity in it, on a spectrum that is very vivid and vague at the same time. Jin Bubaigawara aka Twice tried to redefine that ambiguity. He tried to be a sane one in a world of good and bad people. He tried to be a good friend. The following article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia manga. Read…

Told through its brief instances of majestic spectacles, often dramatized but in an atrociously humane manner, Fate Zero has scarred itself as a splendid show. It also tackles a multitude of philosophical and psychological themes with the help of characters and their conflicts. One such pair of characters is of Kirei Kotomine and Emiya Kiritsugu, the two sides of the same coin. They both have contrasting personalities and distinct ideals and yet are very similar to each other. This article will draw parallels between…

There are epic shonen and well-crafted seinen but there isn’t a show which without diving deep explores romance on a very grounded level. A high school romance show which doesn’t need groundbreaking notions or some tragic backstories but instead relies on something very simple. That simple facet being the realistic nature of love and organically discovering each other; through subtleties. And while we do have Oregairu in the upper echelons, 2021 welcomes another top-notch contender, Horimiya. Synopsis: …

From its endearing characters to heart-throbbing action, My Hero Academia has established itself as a better shonen out there. The last season tackled the show’s most mature themes and arguably the goriest fights as of now. And while it ended on a very strong note, it’s easy to overlook some fine details. The cliffhanger at the end which Bones awarded the viewers was nothing short of mesmerizing. After the credits, a short sequence of Deku being in a dream and seeing the previous One For All users appears. We can only…

‘And then he honored him with true feelings of admiration’ This is an excerpt from the Fate/Zero novel and can also be seen in the anime when Gilgamesh defeated Iskandar. It could have been a fleeting sense of admiration for the bombastic and chivalrous king who inspired people through and through but what makes this whole topic more intriguing is that it was not. But again, can King of Heroes be kind enough to not look down upon mongrels in general? Is that even remotely possible? A newfound respect for another…
