The latest My Hero Academia was still feeling the tremors of the loss of the Symbol of Peace in All Might after his battle with All For One, and this has put the parents of the young heroes in a particularly rough predicament.
Fans were especially drawn to Midoriya’s mother Inko in the latest episode, as her emotions finally came bursting forth as she almost pulled Midoriya out of U.A. Academy completely.

When All Might comes to Midoriya’s home to ask his mother if he can move into the new dorms at the academy (to better protect them from the villains), she denies it. Although she’s grateful for All Might’s actions, she does not want Midoriya to follow on All Might’s bloody path as a hero. He’s worshipped heroes ever since he was young (which brings a cute flashback of her playing with a young Midoriya), but she admits that she would’ve be happier had he just watched heroes from afar, quirkless.
Not only have fans given Midoriya’s mom their full support, totally seeing where she’s coming from as a parent, they have showered her with more lovefor being strong enough to admit she has a problem with the kind of danger U.A. Academy has put her son in.
She finally decides to allow Midoriya to stay in U.A. Academy after All Might begs to fully invest himself to raising Midoriya as a Symbol of Peace. But even then, she still has her qualms but she knows Midoriya would pursue this life anyway. It’s such a crushing moment, leaving fans completely on her side.
Read on to see what fans are saying about Midoriya’s mom after the latest episode, and let us know what you thought in the comments!
For those unfamiliar with the My Hero Academia juggernaut, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
My Hero Academia‘s first movie, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, is scheduled to open August 3 in Japan, but will hold a special World Premiere at Anime Expo 2018. The film is expecting to hits U.S. theaters this Fall. The film will cover a story not seen in the original manga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, “Of course the movie will be filled with Class A’s great efforts, that character’s past that hasn’t been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more.” The film also previously revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before, and a trailer revealing an All Might in his prime.

Izuku’s mother really shines through in this episode. Where all the other parents seem happy to go along with U.A.’s plan I’m glad she summoned up the courage to speak to All Might like this. Easily the Best Mom we’ve got. #MyHeroAcademia #BokuNoHero #BNHA #bokunoheroacademia pic.twitter.com/OSluew6Neg

I just cried so hard over Episode 50 of My Hero Academia. Some spoilers as we go:

Iโm so glad this show is calling out how troublesome the โmentor who dies so the student seeks revengeโ trope is? Midoriyaโs mom was absolutely right to be concerned Midoriya would followโ
@AznLuvsMusic
My Feels Academia should be the real name of My Hero Academia. Inko is such a great mom, and My Hero Academia is a great manga and anime for its portrayal of a parent worried for their kid. That sort of thing is usually swept to the side for the sake of the plot, but not here.

That whole scene with Izukuโs mom talking to All Might about how much pain she goes through when her son gets injured time after time then cuts to a flashback of her and Izuku playing hide and seek really really choked me up and made me start tearing. #myheroacademia pic.twitter.com/slx9DWjLKj
