[Minato just smiles in return, expression soft. Izuku's really been through so much, hasn't he...?
But he's still here, standing strong, wanting to do nothing more than to help people.
... He's really a good person.]
It's just what I believe. After all... I've met a few heroes, and it was absolutely because of who they were as people that they were able to be the heroes they are.
[Yukari, standoffish but sincerely kind. Junpei, silly but determined to make a difference. Akihiko, trying so hard to protect what he could grasp and Mitsuru bearing the world on her shoulders. Shinji, who had deserved better but still saved someone in the time he had. Fuuka, who felt more for everyone around her than anyone, Ken, who loved heroes more than anyone, Koromaru and his loyalty and Aigis, a steadfast protector.
And Ryoji, too, right? In his own way, hadn't he tried to save them? In his own way, Minato believes Ryoji, too, had the soul of a hero.]
