My Hero Academia and Naruto are both hugely popular shonen action series that have a lot of narrative and thematic overlap, including the endless cycle of violence, hatred, and misery in their respective worlds. Protagonist Izuku Midoriya is following Naruto Uzumaki’s footsteps in his quest to bring about world peace, and once upon a time, so did All Might, the symbol of peace. However, it’s not so easy in My Hero Academia’s world.The MHA and Naruto worlds both show what happens when loss and anger lead to vengeance dressed up as “justice,” and then other parties pay it forward in a never-ending cycle. The cycle of violence theme is resonant in both anime series, but there are also critical differences based on how each series handles its worldbuilding. That is why, in recent My Hero Academia manga chapters, a young Toshinori Yagi/All Might was foolish to say he’d end the cycle of abuse himself.In My Hero Academia’s future setting, the advent of supernatural Quirks changed everything about what people understood about themselves and society as a whole. Over time, after some trial and error, humanity built a new world order where costumed Pro Heroes are the pinnacle of society, the embodiment of justice, honor, and being the “right” kind of person in general. The concept of “hero” became official and reshaped civilization, and out of necessity, someone had to be a villain. There are no heroes without villains, so society’s outcasts and rejects were labeled as villains and, thus, problematic people. Some of them did earn that title with their violent or criminal deeds, but in other cases, it was a grossly unfair move to call them villains. In many cases, it created self-fulfilling prophecies, a dire side-effect of propping up heroes as society’s “right” people.RELATED: MHA 398: All Might’s Final Stand Teases a Quirkless Hero’s True Potential
