What I say: I’m fine

What I mean: Shinsou Hitoshi gives us all a glimpse as to how fucked up the My Hero Academia world and society are. They label you a hero or villain or other from birth based on your Quirk. He has been ridiculed, outcast, excluded, ignored, and just plain old shunned for something that he can’t help. And to be honest, his Quirk is amazing and probably one of the best a hero could ever hope for. It can change up the whole hero and villain industry and make villains take a real good long look at themselves. Not to mention, his Quirk can be a life saver in so many other occupations: policeman, detective, lawyer, teacher, security guard, but you know what? He doesn’t want to be any of those. Hitoshi wants to be a hero because “You can’t help for what you long for”, because he wants to help people. Does it matter that the world practically wrote him off as a villain before he could prove them wrong? No, because Hitoshi wants to be a hero not for the fame, glory, money, power, not any family reasons (at least, not that we know of cause we’re even not sure of his family situation at the moment). He wants to be a hero because he wants to save others and to prove the world wrong, that it doesn’t matter what Quirk someone is born with: it only matters what they choose to do with it.
