Exploring My Hero Academia’s Hidden References
You know, the thing about being a fan of shows like My Hero Academia is that you often find yourself
diving deep into the little details. It’s like a treasure hunt! So, when I came across a question about episode 37 and a place that looked like RyuuQkan in Kasukabe, I was immediately intrigued. I mean, who wouldn’t want to connect their favorite anime to real-life locations? The response from the user, who mentioned that it’s actually the “Mukero Ichikawa” test stage for the Hagdori and Shouji team, got me thinking. It’s wild how in the manga, there are just two panels dedicated to this scene, yet in the anime, they expanded it so much more. I can just imagine the animators sitting around, munching on snacks, and saying, “Let’s make this epic!” What I found amusing was how they might have taken inspiration from the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel. I mean, who would have thought that a place designed for flood control could become a backdrop for a high-stakes hero exam? It just adds another layer to the creativity of the series. There was this moment when I was watching with my kid, who’s just getting into the series, and I paused to explain how such locations can be used in storytelling. We even tried to find images online to compare them. Spoiler alert: we ended up going down a rabbit hole of fan art! Honestly, it was hilarious watching my child’s eyes light up as they connected the dots, and I couldn’t help but feel that sense of pride. Now, sometimes I get a bit too carried away with these details. I remember once I arrived way too early for a screening, thinking I’d have time to grab snacks, and ended up with way too many chips. But hey, can you blame me? Snacks and anime are a match made in heaven! So, what about you? Have you ever found an unexpected real-life connection to your favorite shows? Or maybe you’ve had a funny moment while trying to analyze a scene? I’d love to hear your stories or any tips you might have for digging deeper into the world of anime!
