You know what, this past chapter was a perfect demonstration of exactly what it is my translations are for. I'm not able to provide better polished translations than a professional, so my goal is to demonstrate what it is the translators are working with to an audience that doesn't speak Japanese. That way you can understand why each translator makes different decisions about a passage, and hopefully you can appreciate the way I also wait to see what the official translators do with the passage.
(vague manga spoilers for chapter 420 under the cut)
That whole bit about the Kurogiri "black and white" color theory really doesn't sound good in English for various reasons but it sounds really Japanese if you're familiar with their use of those words symbolically. It was always going to be interesting to see what each translator would do with that bit.

hi! i recently reread your answer to that one ask about izuku not saving katsuki from the sludge monster until he realized who it was (anon was arguing that izuku only helped because it was katsuki), and i just wanted to express my appreciation for how you somehow always manage to perfectly summarize my exact feelings about everything in bnha apparently????
i know you posted that almost a year ago, but i've always been a little bothered by people who believe that the only reason why izuku ran to help was because it was katsuki, since it kind of takes away from izuku's whole saving thing, and how he seemingly can't help himself when he sees someone asking for help. i've always admired that about him, and it's super cool to see someone take that long-held belief and argue the opposite (kind of??). i really like the idea of katsuki, in a moment of fear and panic and probably desperation, looking at the crowd to find the one person he knows will help, despite spending like ten years trying not to acknowledge it.
sorry this ended up being so long lol, but i just wanted to say thanks for writing your metas, and that i hope you keep writing them!

i was wondering if you could go more in depth about monoma's way of taunting class 1a? i've seen the class 1b speech style but i was wondering if theres any cultural context that makes his manner especially strange, especially if he's using informal language with people he hasn't gotten close to. (i've seen some others mention that he talks in a very complex manner in japanese, as well as others saying that he speaks very intensity?) thank you!
I'm gonna be real, I don't know how to answer your question. To use informal speech with people you're not close to is pretty much definitionally disrespectful in Japanese, so it makes sense Monoma would do that. It's something I would also expect from another anime character like him. Perhaps this "complex manner/intensity" you're hearing about is a reference to how...dramatic and megalomaniacal he sounds? The dub isn't terrible at capture that vibe lol. In any case, there isn't anything that immediately sticks out about his manner of speech to me, but I haven't particularly paid close attention beyond what I've vaguely heard at times.

Seeing the parallels even more between Eri and Shigaraki now. The way Overhaul convinced Eri she's a cursed human who kills people with every decision she makes and all that. I see now why Horikoshi wanted Eri to fix Izuku's arms that Shigaraki destroyed. Because those are the warm, caring arms that saved her (and will save Shigaraki).
I don't know what it is specifically so many people saw in Shigaraki that they feel is being threatened by recent events in the manga, but what I see is that Shigaraki had a particular view about the way the world works that he wasn't aware was imparted upon him by AFO. That's what's just been made evident to him. Shigaraki thought he was born as a thing that society automatically would always reject. AFO thinks the bombshell he's just dropped is to tell Shigaraki he wasn't born as he is, he was MADE that way by AFO's careful work, and he never had any decision in the matter. What Shigaraki is actually learning now is that he was the one convinced to reject society, to reject other explanations for his experiences, to reject the idea that he could have any agency over his relationship with the world because that's just how the world is. Shigaraki is learning that the home he grew up in was not a direct product of the world but a construct of AFO's influence on the world, that Shigaraki is not a cursed human, that he still doesn't understand the world enough to know if he will always be rejected, that maybe Shigaraki could become anything he wanted if he really put his mind to it no matter his quirk. It's like a sharp knife, right Izuku?

Pika do you have a main? We need more insightful voices in anitumblr
You're reading it, my friend! I'm just a hyperfixation person and only wanted my blog to be about MHA. I'm actually very picky about the anime I'm willing to watch.

when bnha finishes, will this account stay? i would absolutely love to have a bunch of rewatches/rereads eventually alongside ur essays because i feel like theres still so many details I've missed.
Oh that's so sweet! Worry not; I am a big believer in letting things remain, particularly for archiving purposes, so I fully intend to leave this blog up for posterity! I was even considering if at some point I may have time to make another blog that would reblog just the meta posts to make them more easily accessible.

Hi Pika, thanks for the translations ♥ I was wondering, do you think Ochako/Kacchan/Shoto/Iida have any chances of joining the final FINAL (part 2) last battle against AFO? They seem pretty out of commission but man I'd really like to see Kacchan-san join the fight 😔
I'm practically certain they'll be joining in at some point. I have been for a while, but the percent of certainty has only steadily increased. The nature of how they join in still remains to be seen, so don't go jumping to conclusions in that regard yet. I just know we haven't seen the last of them.

So many plotpoints I just don't understand in this arc. Why have bkg die? Why have him fight afo? Why have izuku lose his arms? What purpose has any of it served???? At all???????
Todorki and ochakos fights were handled so well and streamlined and benefited their characters and arcs but bkgs and dekus have been a mess all bcus hori is a coward who won't just let them fight together bcus ig save to win and win to save meant nothing at all
Why have bkg die?
I think it's pretty clear from the way that whole thing was framed that the purpose of Katsuki dying was symbolic. This is a staple of Japanese drama running all the way back to kabuki. It is a trope for a main character to die to shed their mortal incarnation and come back to life as their deified form. Katsuki's death runs perfectly parallel to Tomura's from the PLW arc right down to the part where they are both responsible for their own resurrections. It's probably one of the best cases I can think of where a character's death actually did further that same character's arc without fridging them for the sake of someone else.
Why have [Katsuki] fight AFO?
Because AFO was set up as a "what if" scenario or cautionary tale for Katsuki, the other side to his "villains and heroes are two sides of the same coin" storyline. AFO in his physical form has a different character arc and story utility from AFO the quirk vestige. He provided a lot of backstory that allows us to infer the subtlety of how Katsuki is likely some sort of reincarnation of Kudou, the mechanics of which we will never need to revisit because they're unimportant. It was about karma and personal growth. It was about showcasing how Katsuki is an heir to many legacies, All Might's included.
Why have Izuku lose his arms?
Again, it's symbolic. It's been foreshadowed pretty heavily that Izuku would risk losing his arms in reaching out to save someone. This was a demonstration of his willingness to take on that risk. It also provides a moment for Eri to get in on the "everyone contributes a little bit to the fight" action all the other characters have been allowed to have. We don't even know yet what state Izuku will actually be in when this is all over, so it'd be premature to jump to any major conclusions about all of this. The story may still have a lot to say about this.
What purpose has any of it served???? At all???????
To entertain me specifically.
Todorki and ochakos fights were handled so well and streamlined and benefited their characters and arcs but bkgs and dekus have been a mess all bcus hori is a coward who won't just let them fight together bcus ig save to win and win to save meant nothing at all
Bold of you to assume you've read the final chapter in the story yet.

Can I ask a clarifying question on the last translation? The 2-3 minutes bit, is that saying how long it's going to take for them to come back or how long they'll last for?
I don't think this is a question of how long the effects will last. Eri's quirk has never worked that way before. But who knows right? lol
I think the question is more if it'll take 2-3 minutes to finish fixing his arms or if it'll only take away his injuries from the last 2-3 minutes. I kinda think it's gonna be the latter.
Notice how I can't be sure? This chapter really highlighted how ambiguous some of these Japanese translations can be, eh? XD What a doozy!

Maybe it's not that Eri couldn't restore anyone, it's that she couldn't do it then. She can now. It'll be months before she can do it again (if not longer as she'll need to regrow her horn?)
Maybe in a year, she'll be able to help someone else. Maybe even regrow Toshi's stomach?
Actually, while I understand why this advent is frustrating and seems like a cop-out, it does also accomplish something else pretty notable. Aizawa implied Eri's quirk may be damaged now, which means her quirk may not be as powerful or could even be completely gone.
This means dire consequences to the final battle are back on the table, kids! Whatever wounds they have are sticking around! No rewinding!
Unless Overhaul puts Eri back together and fixes everything which is a whole other mess to think about.

I think giving him back one arm is fine, but TWO? let the loss linger a bit horikoshi
Hey I mean, the story made a point about the limitations of this power. We don't know what state Izuku's gonna get those arms back in yet. They could be brittle and unusable but for the purposes of the story come back just to keep Izuku from bleeding out. And to allow him to hold hands with people lol.

I know this is normally not pretty of your metas/pieces, but I just gotta express how the marketing and merch team is just so damn good at their job. I almost want to be frustrated by it. They know what they're doing by making bkdk the it couple (not necessarily romantically, however they are very much aware of the general publics opinion of them) of the series. Bkdk is their whole farm and I have to respect them capitalizing on them.
That does raise the question of how much Horikoshi has a say in what he draws for these covers. I'm sure they want these things limited to major recognizable characters, and who is more recognizable in Japan than Kacchan at this point XD

I was wondering your thoughts on my misgivings with the reveal that AFO meddled in Tenko’s life from birth. I’ve been struggling to understand this direction for the story for a long time because it implicates AFO too much. He made Kotarou abuse Tenko, he made Nao give birth to Tenko, he goaded Tenko’s friends to play heroes with him, he put Tenko in the perfect spot to kill those thugs…at this point you can’t even blame anyone else but AFO for how Tenko turned out. I’m really bothered by this because it dampens the whole bystander effect of Tenko’s arc for me. The only way I can see this making sense is if AFO is somehow exaggerating or acting as an unreliable narrator somehow, but I’m not banking on that happening. Please can you help me? Is there some Japanese context I’m missing or something?
Okay well first of all I think you're thinking about this a little too black-and-white. AFO didn't *make* Kotarou abuse Tenko, he encouraged Kotarou's strict mentality indirectly. He certainly didn't MAKE Nao birth Tenko XD The whole point of that reveal was that he said he couldn't do anything too obvious, it all had to be subtle nudges. It was manipulation, but it wasn't coercion. Those characters still had some agency in what occurred, even though all people are influenced by others, they just didn't realize one of the people influencing them had ulterior, nefarious motives.
"at this point you can’t even blame anyone else but AFO for how Tenko turned out" see the thing about this is, Tenko himself BELIEVED he was born this way, not that anyone else was to blame for how he turned out. THAT'S the thing that just got turned on its head. AFO is saying "You weren't born this way, this is how *I* made you. This wasn't random chance at all. You don't have free will, you never made a choice to begin with. I just let you think that."
As far as Japanese context goes, the Japanese are much more communalistic. People have some pretty heavy social pressures. AFO used that social pressure dynamic to influence Tenko's family. There is this concept in Japan called giri which is a social obligation. What sort of giri you owe to others plays a big role in how you behave and whose advice you take and such. It's all predicated on the idea that everyone in this system has good intentions, and AFO as someone who has BAD intentions could exploit that system.
There's only so much we can take away from this right now. Tenko will surely show up with a new conclusion about all this once he's had time to contemplate this revelation. Or maybe Izuku will have an answer to AFO ("Tenko isn't you!") We just have to wait and see.

11 相澤 あいざわ Aizawa "Aizawa,"
12 こいつは黒い鹵獲品だ こいつはくろいろかくひんだ koitsu wa kuroi rokakuhin da Literal. "This guy is our black spoils." Contextual. "This guy is our stolen black chess piece." (Note: This is hard to make sound decent in English. Mic is saying that Kurogiri is like their plunder or spoilers or stolen treasure that is the color black, which is a pun on the "kuro" (which means black) in Kurogiri's name. This pun will continue on the next page. The best corollary I could think of in English to keep up that pun is a stolen piece won in a chess game that is the color black.)
13 タルタロスの"奇跡"は忘れた方がいいーんだよ…! タルタロスの"きせき"はわすれたほうがいいーんだよ…! TARUTAROSU no "kiseki" wa wasureta hou ga ii-inda yo...! "It's best that we forget about that miracle at Tartarus...!"

5 何故俺たちをねじ切らなかった? なぜおれたちをねじきらなかった? naze oretachi wo nejikiranakatta? "Why didn't he cut us off?" (Note: I think he's asking why didn't Kurogiri cut them in half like he planned to do to All Might at the USJ by "turning off the portal" while All Might was halfway through it.)
6 つき落とさなかった? つきおとさなかった? tsukiotosanakatta? "Weren't we pushed off?" (Note: He's asking why didn't Kurogiri kill them when they had been pushed off the edge of the little island on UA.)

10 あの日俺たちはタルタロスで白の栓を引き抜いた… あのひおれたちはタルタロスでしろのせんをひきぬいた… ano hi oretachi wa TARUTAROSU de shiro no sen wo hikinuita... Literal. "That day, we pulled out the plug of white at Tartarus..." Contextual. "That day, we released a bit of a white stream inside him at Tartarus..." (Note: Like I said, this pun really does not work well in English lol. He's saying they unleashed a little stream of Shirakumo inside him that's trickling into the river that is Kurogiri. The use of the color white is a pun on the "Shira/Shiro" (which means white) in Shirakumo's name.)
11 そして混ざって壊れた…黒にどれだけ白をそそいでも真っ白にはならない そしてまざってこわれた…くろにどれだけしろをそそいでもまっしろにはならない soshite mazatte kowareta...kuro ni dore dake shiro wo sosoidemo masshiro ni wa naranai "Then it got mixed in, and he broke... No matter how much white you pour into black, it won't become pure white."

plz get into it, I wanna hear your thoughts
Okay look okay fine whatever there was enough foreshadowing with the fact that they turned her body into bullets and the bullets still worked based on her quirk factor okay FINE. FINE. WHATEVER. I CAN LET IT SLIDE but it's still SILLY. After he made it clear Eri couldn't bring Aizawa's leg and eye back but apparently she has enough energy to bring back TWO of Izuku's arms? I guess this is based on time elapsed ONLY then and nothing else? OKAY HORIKOSHI. OKAY FINE. UGH.
