Rise Beyond Legacy x My Hero Academia Final Season Problogs

Introduction
Let me tell you something about Kosei Tsuburaba—the guy is loud, yes, but not in a way that overshadows others. In fact, that very boldness is what makes him memorable. So when I sat down to reflect on how he’d approach Black History Month within the Rise Beyond Legacy x My Hero Academia lens, I was surprised by how much heart he brought to the table—even if he’d be the first to admit he doesn’t have it all figured out, so I decided to give him a decent 6/10.
This blog entry highlights how someone like Tsuburaba—lively, impulsive, and loud—can still become a supporter of Black excellence and a channel for economic justice. Sometimes advocacy doesn’t start with perfect knowledge—it starts with showing up, listening, and trying, even if it’s messy.
Section 1: Boisterous Intentions, Honest Effort
Tsuburaba might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think about deep, philosophical support of racial equity or economic justice. But he’s not out here trying to pretend he’s a scholar. What makes him special is his effort. He’s the guy who shows up. He’s at every event, every celebration, every initiative—not because he wants the spotlight, but because he genuinely wants to be part of something bigger than himself.
He’s the type who'd jump into Black History Month headfirst—probably a bit clumsily at first—with a homemade “Black Excellence!” shirt and enough enthusiasm to power the AV system. But it’s his heart that anchors him. He’s not perfect, but he’s willing to be corrected. That kind of humility? That’s rare.
Section 2: Where Teamwork Meets Culture
Tsuburaba would absolutely shine in group efforts. I could picture him rallying the class to put on skits that honor Black pioneers in fashion, entertainment, and street art. He's not afraid to be goofy or look a little silly—if it means getting the message across, he’s all in.
His kind of contribution reminds me that everyone has a place in these conversations—even the ones who aren’t always the most articulate or polished. His performances would be loud, bold, and likely over-the-top, but always respectful. He brings his personality to the forefront, without making it all about him. That’s a tough balance, but he pulls it off.
And let’s be real—when someone with that much energy throws their weight behind something positive, people follow. That’s impact.
Section 3: The YouTuber Assignment – "Loud and Proud: Celebrating Black Culture With Style"
If Tsuburaba were assigned a YouTube video project for Black History Month, I imagine it’d be chaotic—but in the best way. His video, titled “Loud and Proud: Celebrating Black Culture With Style”, would highlight Black creativity in music, fashion, and street art—things that speak his language.
Expect high-energy commentary, quick costume changes, a playlist that slaps, and maybe even a dance challenge or two. But somewhere in the noise, he’d drop a line or two that sticks with you. Something like:
“You don’t gotta be perfect to be proud. You just gotta show up and show love.”
And just like that, Tsuburaba turns the volume up on purpose—to amplify voices that matter.
Section 4: What We Learn From Tsuburaba
Tsuburaba reminds us that being an ally doesn’t mean being flawless—it means being fearless in the pursuit of knowledge and justice. His celebration of Black culture is vibrant, not performative. His respect shows in the way he listens, learns, and lifts up others rather than centering himself.
He might not be leading panel discussions or quoting James Baldwin, but his contributions are rooted in heart, humility, and solidarity. And sometimes, that’s exactly what movements need—people who aren’t afraid to be messy as they grow, and loud when it’s time to stand up.
Final Thoughts: Black Joy, Justice & The Power of Presence
In a world that often demands perfection before participation, Tsuburaba’s approach is refreshing. He’s imperfect, yes. But he’s present. And that’s enough to start.
Black excellence doesn’t always need a soapbox—it just needs space to breathe and be celebrated. Tsuburaba gives that space through joyful chaos, artistic tribute, and emotional honesty. He’s not just loud for attention—he’s loud with intention.
That’s a message I can stand behind.
