Summary:

“A great Hero will rise in these lands; it is told. You will guide the Once and Forever King to his glory and bring everlasting peace to the realm.” said the dragon—Kudo.

Izuku was perplexed. “You must be talking about someone else. And the Once and Forever King?” who…?

It could only be…

Izuku said, “Yagi.”

Kudo, at the same time—“Katsuki.”

Izuku felt his eyes bulge. Suspended in disbelief, he wanted to laugh. In fact, Izuku couldn’t help but think that this prophecy sounded like complete and utter bullshit.

Or, when Izuku, the lonely boy from the edge of nowhere, is summoned to the capital, his world is upended. His mission? Protect the brash, foul-mouthed prince at all costs, for he is the Hero who will wake the realm from her slumber… eventually.

But to succeed Izuku must hide that he has magic, unless he wanted to end up on the pyre by morn.

An adaptation of Arthurian myths and legends.

Leo looks so haunted by that nightmare. Each of his brothers died and he couldn’t beat the the demon that did it.

I've finally formed a thought that's been bugging me since the spoilers came out.

And that is the Eyes of Afo.

We can responsibly assume, based on Dr. Garaki's words, that Afo has some real (his own) eyes (and voice and smiling face).

And now we can assume that the current eyes - without color and pupil - are not his real eyes.

Earlier I had assumed that they were, of course, a quirk. For disguise, for a more appropriate image of the Demon King. But also don't forget that the Eyes are the mirror of the soul. And the most likely thing is that Afo wouldn't want anyone to look into his soul and know what's going on there. And the role of the Demon King does not imply the presence of a soul.

But then how and when did it happen? Surely we have met these eyes before in chapter 193, the anime version gave us the “red” eye color characteristic of the Villain.

I would like to say that in the early years Afo had a normal human eye with a pupil, but in profile, unfortunately, we can't see whether there is a pupil or not. But since Afo, as the composition then shows us, is among humans - it is logical to assume that the eyes would be pupilless - soulless eyes. Or maybe not; maybe there is a pupil here, but it just merges with the shadow, like Izuku's here, for example.

And based on that, we can already conclude that Afo's familiar eyes are a quirk. And perhaps the sight of real eyes was only available to a select few - Yoichi as his brother, and Doctor Garaki as his personal doctor.

But from the Doctor's words about Afo's real appearance, we can also conclude that Afo hasn't taken his real appearance for a long time. A very long time.

And I daresay that this switch to “permanent villain eyes” was at or about the time of Yoichi's death.

The composition is constructed so that Afo looks up at the Second, and we cannot see whether there is a pupil in his eyes.

However, we are further accentuated precisely by the eye, and we can see irregularities around the edge of the iris - as if the iris ring is subject to some kind of interference. And the eye becomes what we see in Afo's restored face and when Afo takes control of Tomura's consciousness.

And as a result: On the day that Afo is confronted with the Second's death - defying audacity, which is like saying that Afo will never win and get what he wants, (maybe Yoichi had just died before that point - covering his friend from a fatal blow, for example, or Afo realized that OFA's quirk with Yoichi's vestige had already been passed on to another person - which means his last chance to get his brother back was disappearing right before his eyes), Afo and lost the self he was with Yoichi, locked the real him deep in his soul, and he's been smiling ever since. And the smile doesn't reach his eyes.

i've read one too many fics about leo not making it back from the prison dimension

hi! i saw your critique of tmnt 2012 and i was wondering where you got your info? or where i could learn more ig

sorry im just really curious!

There's no problem in asking!

a lot of my info comes from my own personal experience and understanding of martial arts! I started practicing the bo staff and learned some of the basics but also I was a black belt in tae kwon do!

Studying fighting styles and martial arts in general is not only a personal passion of mine but is also a part of my career as an action board artist. Watching tournaments and listening to fellow martial artists as well as how other people portray this information in media is a fun study along with psychology for me.

As an animator, when I made those critiques about how the characters fight, it was out of person frustration with the incorrect representation and also using gimmicks of fighting that aren't... useful. ever. (I will forever hate 2012 donnie being portrayed as weak when his weapon is a staple of martial arts FOR A REASON!!) but I also want to point out that they made that show in a time when more action-oriented shows were starting to gain attention. Anime helped influence a lot of 2012's mannerisms but because the show was done in 3D, that creates a LOT of limitations.

Most of my knowledge on the subject is from self-studying for YEARS, personal training with a master, and my job. I know quite a few martial artists who watched 2012 actually reached out to me in shock that they always felt the action in the show was a bit off and didn't realize until I pointed out the flaws. You don't always see this sort of thing a lot of the time but when a nerd who focuses a lot of their brain on action (like me) comes around and points it out, it can help you process what's going on and WHY something doesn't work.

when it comes to studying action, I would suggest watching your favorite action movies and figure out why something did or didn't work from a narrative or visual perspective. A great example of some of the best action I've seen in a directed movie, is Jackie Chan's movies. He, himself, is a martial artist and for most of those movies he directed them HIMSELF. the reason why avatar the last airbenders action was so good is because they had a professional martial artist on set, 24/7, helping them with moves and directing the board artists. I'm gonna leave two videos I HIGHLY recommend you watch if you wanna understand this stuff more in depth, there's a ton of stuff about action and what works and doesn't in a cartoon or show that is so important to my specific craft~

Hope this helps some!!

(sorry for the long post jsdhfjskd im very passionate about action~)

and thank you for the question!! I would love to talk action more with you guys~ so long as you ask legit questions and are not rude, I will answer them to the best of my ability :3

NO BC 12 LEO WAS LEGIT EXPERIENCING PSYCHOSIS.

WE CANONICALLY SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR THE TURTLES TO TALK TO SPIRITS / THE SPIRIT OF THEIR FATHER. ESP IN VISION QUEST AND AT THE END OF THE DEMODRAGON ARC.

SPLINTER'S ALL GLOWY AND STUFF AND GHOSTS IN GENERAL IN THE SHOW DONT LOOK LIKE SOLID BEINGS.

LEO WAS 100% THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SEE SPLINTER WHEN HE TALKED TO HIM AFTER HE DIED.

BESIDES, SPLINTER TALKED TO ALL HIS SONS BOTH TIMES HE WAS IN SPIRIT FORM. THE FACT DONNIE COULDN'T SEE HIM JUST CEMENTS THE FACT THAT SPLINTER NEVER REALLY WAS THERE.

I'M JUST- I NEED A MOMENT-

This is so cute, I always loved the dynamic between Leo 2012 and Miguel Angel 2012. while Leo finds Mickey endearing and Mickey finds Leo a comforting and safe place.

Chapter 10 wip

THIS IS SO COOL! ILOVEIT AAAAAH-

happy mutation day <3
