My Hero Academia vol.5(ver.A) Himiko Toga

Product Information

Chapter 6 examines how the toga, a core symbol of Romanness, was used in complex ways in identity construction in the provinces. Starting from the idea that ‘Romanness’ was something that could be acquired and ‘put on’ and ‘taken off’ just, like the toga, the chapter discusses a series of case studies that draw on Rothe’s expertise on the dress of the northwestern provinces. In Gaul, in the 2nd-3rd centuries, only the largest grave monuments show wearers of toga, clearly men of elite status or international ‘businessmen’, while most men are depicted in the local style, wearing hooded capes. Sometimes the toga is worn over the Gallic long-sleeed tunic, showing a delicate mix of ethnic elements. In Noricum, the grave stele of Licovia Ingenua shows how the Roman wife is dressed in local style, while her non-Roman husband is depicted wearing a toga; here, according to Rothe, gender plays a more important role than nationality. These and other examples show how difficult it is to assign univocal cultural meanings to the garment. As Camie to Izuku) "Looks like we both want to learn about each other, huh? So now... Your turn. Why are you hoping to become a hero? Honor? Pride? For someone else's sake? I want to know... all about you." [30]

To Ochaco) "Listen Ochaco, when I think about the people I love it makes me wanna become them. This desire to take all their blood for myself gushes up till I just can't stand it. I get all emotional just thinking about it. That's how I am, but other people aren't like that. It's so hard for me to live like this." [34] Transform ( 変 ( へん ) 身 ( しん ) , Henshin ?): Himiko's Quirk grants her the ability to transform into a physical lookalike of another individual, as well as copy their voice. She can only transform into people whose blood she has ingested. The more blood she drinks, the longer she has access to that person's form. For example, 1 cup of blood lets her transform for a total of 18 hours. She can switch between the appearances of multiple people if she drinks the blood of more than one person. She can even duplicate a person's clothing, though, her own clothes would overlap the transformation, requiring her to get naked beforehand. Due to TV regulations in Japan, Himiko couldn't be naked in the original broadcasts of episodes where she was supposed to be. Instead, the footage was altered to look like she was wearing a kind of light skin tone body suit under her disguises. This was changed in the home releases of the series. Himiko is currently the youngest member of the League of Villains and the only female member following the demise of Magne. She is also the only female lieutenant in the Paranormal Liberation Front.Sad Man's Death Parade ( 哀れな死の行進 ( サッドマンズデスパレード ) , Saddo Manzu Desu Parēdo ?): Himiko endlessly clones versions of herself transformed into Twice with the express intent of killing anything in her way. [6] Sad Man's Parade ( 哀れな行進 ( サッドマンズパレード ) , Saddo Manzu Parēdo ?): By copying Double, Himiko is able to replicate Twice's signature Ultimate Move, swarming her opponents with countless Doubles of Twice. [21] Concept art of Himiko already depicted her as an archetypal "yandere" (Japanese lingo used to describe a character who's dangerously obsessive towards another). One potential design included a different, plainer face with short pigtails instead of the messy hair buns present in the current Himiko design. She also had an entire row of sharp teeth instead of just prominent canines. In the third My Hero Academia anime opening, " Sora ni Utaeba", Himiko was shown as a silhouette, foreshadowing her appearance to come.

In the past, Himiko was noted by her family and former classmates to be, "a cheerful, reasonable, well-mannered girl" whose subsequent turn to a life of crime surprised everyone who knew her. However, her own recollections imply that this was merely an act she put on to try and fit in with what society deemed "normal." She believes the way she acts presently is her own normal and that she shouldn't be forced to conceal it. [13] Himiko is quite courageous, or at least very confident when using her Quirk, even impersonating an aspiring Hero and taking part in an exam that gathered thousands of hero students and multiple Pro Heroes. She also has shown a comedic and childlike demeanor when faced with different situations, such as when she was with Twice or when she attempted to insult Mimic. To Tomura) "I'm Toga! Himiko Toga! Life is too hard! I wanna make a world that's easier to live in! I wanna be Mr. Stainy! I wanna kill Mr. Stainy! So lemme join you, Tomura!" [27]All For One • Cider House • Dictator • Ending • Gashly • Giran • Habit Headgear • Hanzo Suiden • Hawks • Kunieda • Kyudai Garaki • Lady Nagant • Mihaera • Moonfish • Muscular • Overhaul • Sludge Villain • Starservant • Steel Bulwark • Tajima • Yuga Aoyama However, through much effort, Ochaco finally manages to get through to Himiko and gets her to open up about her past and her true feelings, how she would get so jealous over not being allowed to express her love towards other people. During this, Himiko's emotions reach their climax and she finds herself unable to finish Ochaco off, instead becoming elated when Ochaco admits to finding her smile cute and calls her "the cutest in the whole world", causing the villain to finally stand down. Following this heartfelt exchange, Himiko becomes willing to sacrifice herself to save a dying Ochaco by giving her all of her blood, still unwilling to let herself be captured, but not wanting to let someone so close to her die, being grateful that Ochaco took the time to reach out and understand her, despite everything she's done.

To Ochaco) "Exactly, I've also held it in for so long! When I was little, I was told to stop being me! But that doesn't work! When you shut your feeling away, it only grows inside!" [35] Notably, Himiko's ability to use the Quirks of people she transforms into was first mentioned alongside those sketches, before the story confirmed it properly in Chapter 266. Upon deactivating her Quirk or switching to another disguise, Himiko's disguise melts into a gray viscous liquid. During the the Final War after drinking a portion of Twice's blood, she was able to completely turn the tables by utilizing his Double Quirk to make hundreds of copies of herself to overwhelm the Heroes.The specific goal set for the book by Rothe is to explore the toga both as a material garment and as an identity-building symbol, combining literary, iconographic and archaeological sources. The author notes that previous studies on the toga all focus on one type of material, mostly sculptural depictions. The present book also aims to widen the outlook outside the elite circles and provincials beyond Italy. It builds on Rothe’s earlier work on Roman provincial dress, with an especially good discussion of the ethnic and non-Roman aspects throughout the book. [1] Rothe’s most central aim here is to counter the scholarly tendency to the see the toga as a symbol rather than a garment and to demonstrate that it was, instead, very much present in everyday life. Himiko is also prone to mood swings. When she finds a target of "affection" (mainly Izuku) she is loud and cheerful. However, when someone gets in between her and her target of her "affection", she shows a very cold, angered and annoyed expression, instantly switching priorities to kill whoever the nuisance is. The prototype sketches of Himiko state that she is possibly bisexual or pansexual, meaning she may be attracted to both males and females. It is unconfirmed whether this character trait has been kept in the main series. However, it is likely, as Himiko has expressed her "love" towards both Izuku and Ochaco. [23] [24] To Ochaco) "I... fall in love really easily... With animals. With villains. With heroes. With boys. With girls. After all... they've all got such amazing blood pumping through them! They'd tell me to stop grinning! And I'd get so jealous! Izuku reminds me of... a boy I used to like. His name was Saito. But it's not like... I could just ask him for his blood. Cuz, like... then he'd call me a freak or something!! Then he'd think... I was definitely not cute at all. Just like you and Izuku... they'd all scold and lecture me on the right way to be. That's why I joined the League of Villains. Cuz with them, I can live and love how I needed to." [36] The book offers a valid synthesis of a large quantity of recent research that has focused on questions of dress and the ways it communicated gender, ethnicity, and class. It also provides the reader with novel viewpoints more sensible to the lived and tactile aspects of the toga, focusing on how the toga, an everyday material object, was used to negotiate social relations and identity.

During her fight with Curious and her soldiers, Himiko's Quirk underwent an Awakening, giving her the ability to use the Quirks of the people into whom she's transformed, something that she was previously incapable of doing. [16] Although, Himiko can only use another person's Quirk if she is fascinated by that person and holds that person close to her heart, and she must have sufficient information on their power. To herself disguised as Ochaco Uraraka) "Day after day, the police and heroes came after me. So without even trying, I became sensitive to how other people behave... and I learned that the world treats high school girls just a little bit kinder. So I don't get caught. I don't get caught. I don't get caught." [31] The passage of Thomas Frölich cited by the author actually claims that the Lares’ way of girding the mantle may have resembled the cinctus Gabinus, rather than actually being a toga tied in that manner, (1991).
