The most lovable dork!
Can I be honest here? When I first saw this scene, I was honestly worried for a second that All Might would be a untouchable, a bit arrogant and overly confident guy. Just for a split-second, I thought “Oh no, he’s gonna be one of those untouchable hero-idols again who will only show up in the story whenever there’s a really big fight that the protagonist can’t handle”.
Why I thought that – perhaps because I felt something about his behavior was faked. Perhaps because he just picked up the nearest piece of paper he could find and wrote down his autograph without even being asked for it, probably thinking that everyone would love to have his autograph, anyway.
But gosh, was I wrong. In the mere span of a few minutes, all those worries were shut down.
Untouchable? Invincible? No. All Might is shown to be bleeding and hiding behind a strong façade only a bit later.
Him not showing up in the series apart from important fights? Ha! Since the manga started, All Might has been at Izuku’s side as often as possible. I even miss him when he isn’t there, because I’m just so used to him being close to Izuku (even if it’s just watching from around the corner like a worried dad)
And then, when I rewatched BNHA, I noticed this little scene here:
All Might didn’t just pick the notebook up and write his autograph into it. He really read it first. The book had fallen open during the fight with slime guy, if I remember correctly. He probably caught sight of the sketches of heroes Izuku had done and took a look into it.
He noticed how detailed Izuku’s notes where. He took into consideration how much time the boy had spent gathering all those information about the heroes, and how much love had went into each detail. Knowing Izuku, that fanboy probably even wrote down his thoughts near the notes, little bits and pieces of excited rambling and theories.
All Might didn’t write his autograph into the notebook because he egoistically assumed that it would be what the boy wanted.
He wrote the autograph into the notebook because, after seeing Izuku’s addiction to heroes, his love for everything concerning it, he knew how much this autograph would mean for the boy.
Well done, Horikoshi. You managed to literally pulverize all the clichés concerning shounen-mentors and designed one of the most lovable, dorkiest yet most awesome characters I’ve ever seen. Not to mention what a heartwarming relationship between mentor and student was created here.
Also, what kind of dorky autograph is this, you drew your own eyebrows and eye-shadows under it you utter DORK
SANS!!!😁

Why are all of the greats dying in 2018? Stephen, Stan Lee.... Please dont let there be a next one.
Stephen Hillenburg will be greatly missed. He was a huge artistic inspiration for me, and many others…
