When Himiko loves someone she sucks their blood to her sucking blood is equivalent to kissing someone it’s a way to show her love to others Himiko’s twisted actions are her way of expressing love. Forbidden love, tragedy, and separation are connected to her character and backstoryįirst, forbidden love refers to Himiko’s entire behavior, seen when she fell in love with Saito after seeing him bloody and bruised, Ochaco after she attacked her and Izuku when she saw him beat up. There’s a lot of symbolism with the myth that harkens to her backstory I would like to point out which are closely linked. Besides the romantic love aspect, the myth is associated with forbidden love, tragedy and separation are themes associated with the myth also Himiko’s backstory as well. This applies to Himiko’s backstory on its main basis. This is a deliberate choice made by Horikoshi the entire myth goes hand in hand with Himiko’s backstory. Thus, the lovers had to be separated, except on one day of the year.” The Japanese version of the myth Tanabata which its held on July 7th in the Gregorian calendar has the similar narration “the weaver girl was betrothed to the cowherd, but they fell so in love that she stopped weaving and he stopped caring for his cows. They were never to meet again, except on the 7th day of the 7th month (of the lunar calendar) when a flock of magpies would form a bridge for them so that they could be together one day out of the year.” The cowherd tried to chase her and was blocked by the formation of Milky Way, a river that he couldn’t cross. Qixi myth goes like this, “The weaver girl was divinity, but the cowherd was mortal, so their union was not approved by the heavens and she was eventually summoned back to the skies. Next to her birthday August 7th the date August 7th itself doesn’t mean anything in Japanese but in Chinese it’s the date Qixi a Chinese day for couples similarly based on the myth the cowherd and the weaver girl an Asian story of forbidden love, Himiko didn’t dress up as a high schooler as a disguise but she is, in fact, is one in her entire design. In Japan, 17 is the age of high schoolers which shouldn’t be all that surprising since Himiko’s design is an actual high schooler like her design suggests. Let’s begin with her age people complained about her age when it came out this shouldn’t come as a surprise at all because Himiko is a high schooler it’s already been started during her introduction. She even takes time during a very important mission to comfort her teammate Twice, who feels responsible for Magne's death due to bringing Overhaul to their base.Time for Himiko’s Bio, who’s one of my favorite characters in BNHA which I always wanted to talk about now that I have an opportunity to discuss her bio the timeing feels right. One of the reasons she jumps at the chance to ruin Overhaul's entire operation is because Overhaul killed Magne. While she is undeniably a very violent person, collecting knives and needles to draw blood, she genuinely loves and cares for her fellow villains. She lacked friends and support for her blood consumption and, as a misfit, found herself inspired by those who lashed out against society, like Stain and the League. This is, of course, contrasted with her otherwise cute and unassuming appearance.ĭue in part to her bizarre quirk and fetishistic love for blood, Toga never really fit into society. While in some ways this fits in with My Hero Academia's over-the-top world, she seems to be one of the few villains who just loves inflicting pain. Her love of drinking other people's blood borders on sexual lust at times, with her often approaching prey in a predatory, almost perverse manner. This skill is bizarre enough, but what makes Toga stand out isn't so much that she needs blood to use her Quirk, but rather that she loves blood. So let's find out why this strange girl with a blood-sucking fetish is My Hero Academia's most popular villain. In Japan's most recent poll, she ranked ninth. Keep in mind, there are hundreds of characters in My Hero Academia. In Japan, she regularly ranks in the top 20 most popular characters. In the second US Popularity Poll for My Hero Academia, Toga ranked third, ranking above Shoto Todoroki, Tsuyu Asui and even All Might. With all that in mind, what is it about Himiko Toga that makes her so popular? Of all the members of the League, she scores the highest on popularity polls, second only to Shigaraki, a member of the League who receives the most screen time and development. Clearly, every character is someone's favorite character. But even the seemingly oddest characters tend to get a strong dose of development to make them fleshed-out, nuanced characters rather than caricatures. With a massive cast of characters, there are sure to be a few oddballs from My Hero Academia who become surprisingly popular.
