  1. SPOILERS FOR THE 7:19 EXAMPLE The problem with your My Hero Academia example is that no one was convinced that Deku was going to die at that moment. Him apologizing to his mom and All Might instead of thinking of a new way to beat the villain was a nice touch, but not once is the audience considering the possibility of death for our main character - no one is convinced (which was your whole point about adding the right amount of angst or fanfare). The 2 trains of thought that do go through our heads during this scene are: 1) How is he going to get himself out of this situation? Or 2) Who/what is going to save him? Not saying that that whole scene was bad (though the "1000000%" afterwards seems sort of bs), but I don't think that it was a very good example of the point you were trying to get across. You probably shouldn't use a mainstream battle shonen for that haha.
