MY HERO ACADEMIA's Weird Obsession With Hands
From Deku’s broken fingers to Shigaraki’s decaying touch, hands are everywhere in My Hero Academia: on its villains, in its themes, and even as the author’s avatar. But what do they actually mean?
In this video essay, we dig into Kohei Horikoshi’s fascination with hands — exploring how they reveal character, symbolize heroism, and reflect the series’ central question: what does it really mean to reach out and help someone?
We’ll break down how hands define characters like Deku, Bakugo, Shigaraki, and All for One. From “helping hands” to “blood-stained hands.” It’s part visual storytelling, part emotional anatomy lesson, and maybe… part Star Wars reference.
