That's why they say take a village … But it's why they say take a village what do you do if that village happens to be populated with evil supervillains?

Not only do the parents of My Hero Academia need to navigate the typical pitfalls of raising children and teenagers, they have to do with superpowered children who could throw a magical hissy fit akin to Stranger ThingsThe Eleven at any given time. And that's things going going relative well. Make enough mistakes and your ward ends up leading the League of Villains. Here's some of the My hero parents have fared so far.

Izuku Midoriya

Inko has been nothing but supportive of her son, even if some of her choices may not appear so at first. She did doubts at first let's give a big round of applause for the best. It would be weirder if she was kidnapped? hadn't I have not had a problem with Izuku continuing his studies there. But that's just the thing: what he was looking for, for all intents and purposes lie.

Izuku is way late in developing one and Inko literally just had a doctor tell her that her would have never been owned and gave her physical, medical proof of the number of patients with the majority of the population at this point. Mid-oriya might have thought he needed his mom to give him a false sense of hope, but for all she knew, this was his reality. And without All Might, she would have been 100 percent correct. She was sparing him a harsh awakening when he finally had to face that reality by being upfront with him from the beginning. Which is honestly the better (and much more difficult) move as a parent.

Katsuki Bakugo

But that doesn't make any wrong or not less than a parent. Each child's backgrounds. Mitsuki is absolutely right in her stance.

He was a bully and literately encouraged Deku to commit suicide at one point. Mitsuki recognizes that the teachers see her son for who he is is-or at the very least, who he could Because he's starting to kinda sorta have a begrudging respect for Midoriya! He's not always he's not. he very obviously gets his fiery nature from her, in fact-but she can see that UA is helping him to mature and develop and she doesn't want to take that away from him.

Shoto Todoroki

So, those are clear examples of My hero And that's definitely the case of Enji Todoroki, who is a terrible, terrible father. His son Shoto is very clear struggling with his mother's spirits, Parents doing their best. But not even bona fide heroes are guaranteed He has shut down and closed himself off from peers, teachers, and even himself. He literally hates an entire half of him. He also seems to have some repressed memories going on, or at the very least, wasted Young to understand everything that was happening in his family life and has had warped memories as a result.

But now that all Might is out of the way and his father has become the number one hero by default, Shoto's, Shoto is working hard to retain a sense of humanity and not to become wrapped up. future (and sense of self-worth) could be at the greatest risk it's ever been.

Tenya Iida

For Tenya Iida, it's not just His own brothers run a very prominent hero at the start of his own family history. It's that prolific family history that likely sprouted Iida's brother to become Ingenium definitely He feels he has to carry on his family's name.

While Iida's obsession with perfectionism and his uptight demeanor seem like comic relief, Iida is absolutely driven to this by the pressure he feels to make his family proud. To be fair to his family, there is no evidence that the push them But he has some huge shoes to fill either way.-this seems to be Tenya's own doing.

Ochaco Uraraka

They are about knowing about Uraraka's family actually suggesting they are kind of understanding, warm, and patient with their daughter. They are willing to sacrifice their time, health, and improving their chances in life. She feels heavy guilt and gratitude while watching the work so hard to provide for her and is desperate to return the favor.

While these feelings do push Ochaco to work hard and contribute to the pressures she feels, they have also proven to be beeficial to her. Ochaco's goals have driven drive to come out of her shell She has found a renewed sense of confidence in her through her desire to be of service to her family.

By and large, it seems that most of the parents of the main My hero cast are doing their best in extremely unique circumstances (with the exception of Endeavor, who, again, is terrible.) Maybe that's part of why Class 1A is so great! to grow closer to their peers and teachers in the coming years.
