Facts About My Hero Academia
For many anime lovers, “My Hero Academia” is one of the famous animes that attract them the most. The anime includes a brilliant depiction of various characters, enormous abilities defined out of their quirks, and emotional depth are what defined the show. After several seasons are released, there will be something faded, so here we are, taking a look at the facts you might or might not know about the show. So let’s begin.
The Quirks Came From Random Things
The very power of 80% of human beings in the world of My Hero Academia is unique in itself. That unique blend of powers is something not many can introduce. But you might not know that they, as of now, are actually inspired by just mere random things. The writer of “My Hero Academia,” Kōhei Horikoshi, stated that initially, he introduced quirks to the characters to develop a good story. But after some time being, the quirks were added on a completely random basis.
Mina Ashido & Alien Connection
Mina Ashido, whose superhero name is “Pinky,” referring to her pink-colored hair and skin, initially had a different superhero name. A. Originally, Mina Ashido’s superhero name was set to be “Ridley Hero: Alien Queen,” a clear and blatant reference to the 1971 Film Alien directed by Ridley Scott. You may notice her characteristics are quite similar to the creatures from the film giving justice to her inspiration, just like the creatures from Alien.
Bubble & Centipeder Are Designed By Fans
Characters Bubble & Centipede, who serves as Sir Nighteye’s assistants in “My Hero Academia,” was not originally designed by the author himself. There was a contest for Japanese fans where winners Chiita Abara and Tetsuya Oohara got a chance to design these characters for the show. China Abara originally designed Bubble to be a 16-year-old student at U.A, but for making her into a pro-hero, the anime aged up the character a little bit. On the other hand, Tetsuya Oohara designed the character of Centipede.
Every character name has a meaning
The creator of “My Hero Academia,” Kohei Horikoshi, made sure that all the anime characters have a name with significant meaning. All these names are often based around the Japanese world play. Let’s take the example of Bakugo, “Baku” means “Bomb” while “go” means “strength,” which correctly describes the character and his quirk.
Masahi Kishimoto Compared The Show To Naruto
Well, Naruto is well-known as one of the greatest and most commercially successful anime and manga in the anime industry. It was a moment to watch out for when Naruto, Masahi Kishimoto, took notice of My Hero Academia. Kishimoto compared the series to his highly appreciated work and even drew a picture portraying Naruto as he cheers Izuku. The picture signifies the passing of the torch from one great anime to another.
Ochaco Uraraka was Originally The Mount Lady
Uraraka, who we know as the very cheerful and bubbly girl with a quirk of Zero Gravity, originally was considered what Mount Lady is. The bubbly character who can control and reverse the effects of gravity just by touching any object was originally named Yu Takeyama with a quirk that may let her grow large monolithic. Although the idea was dropped at that time, it was rekindled to be used for the superhero Mt. Lady who is slightly older than Uraraka.
One-Shot For Series Came Six Years Before The Original Manga
In 2008, the creator Kohei Horikoshi published a one-shot in the Winter Issue of Akamaru Jump and titled it “My Hero.” Later this one-shot served as a starting point for a full-fledged manga series we know today. His character was distributed and changed for “My Hero Academia” with the character renamed Izuku with good health, who becomes a high school student. In contrast, the sickness gets transferred to the character of All Might.
Present Mic Was Originally An Old Bald Man
In case you haven’t noticed, Present Mic’s headphones have “Hage” written all over them, which in Japanese means “Bald,” and on the other hand, his hair too kind of looks like a wig, though. Why? Because his character was originally designed for being a fat, elderly bald man. But only until Hiroskoshi decided that the attributes might make the character boring and based Present Mic on an actual radio DJ named Hisashi Yamada.
Tsuyu & Hagakure Were Initially Men
The interesting fact is that there is one girl character of My Hero Academia who you might or might not know, were originally men. Originally Horikoshi visioned the characters of Tsuyu and Hakagure to be boys until he saw the packed roster of Class 1-A, which was highly unbalanced. So, writer Horikoshi decided to change the genders of Tsuyu and Hagakure, who are now loved by many creating a larger fanbase.
Ectoplasm’s Legs
Ectoplasm, who made his presence felt after his epic Final Exam battle against Tsuyu and Tokoyami, is another character who has gone through a life-threatening injury. It’s been said that way before the start of the series; the character lost his legs while battling a big bad villain. Even after the events, Ectoplasm uses prosthetic legs for his daily routine and removes them when sporting his hero tag.
