So this is my top 5 on my favorite panels in the manga, the ones I personally consider more iconic, because why not? ;)
(of course if you haven’t read the manga, be aware of the spoilers)
In order of appearance in the manga:
1. The entrance of Shigaraki in chapter 13.
Oh man just look at the art right here. Horikoshi art is insane and the way he presents Shigaraki here is so creepy but so cool! Honestly I never will get tired from praising this man and the way the draws, Hori teach me your ways!
2. Izuku right here. Chapter 38.
This one right here still gives me chills!! Honestly when I started reading the manga, I liked Izuku, but couldn't considerate him a fave character at all. And not because Izuku was a bad character, don't get me wrong, but because I had seen the same type of main character, you know -cinnamon roll who did nothing wrong/ classic underdog/timid boy- in so many movies, animes, etc that I just grow up tired of it, and because of that I didn't expect much of Izuku as a character tbh. I though he will just have his classic emo phase during the sports festival, you know, the typical "oh I am so useless I cannot win bla bla bla" and then you will get that supporting character (most likely Ochako) telling them "I believe in you, you can do it bla bla bla" or something typical like that. Which is not bad, but its too cliche. That's why I was so sceptical about Izuku as a character. But then the Sports Festival was passing while I was liking Izuku more and more with each chapter and then chapter 38 came and this panel, THIS SINGLE PANEL showed me than my little boy was more than the classic underdog, this panel show me how strong he became, how of a hero he was, HE LOOKS HERE SO BADASS AND INSANE AND I LOVE IT. This is the panel when Izuku became officialy one of my favorite characters in general and I just can't wait to see animated this.
3. Shimura Nana on chapter 92.
Did I need explain myself on this? Is frigging Shimura Nana, best heroine ever, and I love her so of course she has to be on this top. She looks badass and beautiful in all the panels she appears, but this one has a special place in my heart. She taught Toshi to smile even in the worst scenarios, standing with a smile like a hero, and the fact that All Might always smiles like Nana in his hero form is just :')
4. Chapter 95. THE DAD MIGHT HUG.
My fave of my fave of my fave of ALL TIMES. Honestly I nearly fainted when I saw this hug, I'm still not over it and I never will, All Might is such a father figure to Midoriya, and honestly I wasn't expecting this hug at all, but OUR GOD AND SAVIOUR Horikoshi made this glorious chapter and made us so happy :')
5. Deku vs Kacchan 2. chapter 119.
My new acquisition! haha. The reason why I wanted to do this post was because this glorious panel just joined in my list of favorites iconic panels of bnha of all time. Just, look at it. IT IS PURE GOLD OH LORD. It's so funny, that even the first word that crossed my mind while I was seeing it was "kindergarden". Seriously they look such a kids on this, all I was thinking was TOSHINORI COME HERE TO CONTROLL YOUR KIDS xD. And yet is so iconic like, this single panel resumes their relationship in a nutshell, and also is so well drawed. And the tittle of the chapter just made it even funnier like, "Deku vs Kacchan 2?" there will be a 3d part? XD. And despite the childish aspect it feels so hype!! Idk man I just fell in love with this picture BLESS YOU HORI.
And well thats all, if you want, feel free to add or tag me in your own panels/moments of the manga that you consider iconic, unforgettable or that are just your faves without a specific reason, I'm curious :D
