Izuku when Katsuki ignores him and calls him names: "KACCHAN, KACCHAN, KACCHAN! Kacchan sugoi! Kacchan and the others!"

Izuku when Katsuki wants to spend the rest of his life with him and finally shows him respect by calling him 'Izuku': "nope, sorry, I can't join you! See you later! *walk away without even looking back once*"

Izuku after Ochaco ignored him for 8 years, called him 'not special' and 'ugly' twice: "Ochaco... I've suddenly realized you're my special person..."

I just think Izuku is into degradation atp lmaoo (pretending to laugh but actually depressed and trying to conceal sadness through stupid jokes)

All this for a girl who claimed in front of the whole city, in a microphone, that Izuku wasn't special. Fml

Hey Izuku, can I still catch up to you

No one is actually special

Queer people will always remain a mere tool to push some random, senseless shit and I'm tired of being a witness to that

We can't ever win or get our happy ending, can we?

“Did you just call me an idiot?” Shoto frowns, offense fully taken.

Katsuki ignores him for a moment, leaving the dense question unanswered. His gaze remains set on his dumbass partner though as he stares and gets increasingly irritated at the sight of those ill-colored irises.

His head then pivots to the side and a desperate breath flies from his nasty mouth. "Y'know, there is one thing that's good about you, in the end." “What is it?”

“Your hearing,” Katsuki mutters with a proud scoff, teasingly dismissive. And when he returns his regard to Shoto, expecting to witness a deeper pout etched on that usual unfazed face, disgust takes over him in a flash. Shoto, cheeks flushed bright red and shifty-eyed, tucks a strand of hair behind his ear, in a languid motion. "You... you really think so...?" He stutters, voice softer than usual and gaze faltering while throwing timid glances at Katsuki's flabbergasted expression. Katsuki blinks. Once. Twice. Thrice. He's momentarily dumbstruck. "I—" Katsuki stammers back, unable to keep his cool as heat rises to his own face. "I WASN'T FLIRTING WITH YOU, YOU FUCKASS!!!"

Thoughts & Restraint

[ayeliiss]

Teacher Izuku, who has planned an oral exercise for his students to improve their skills in quirks analyzing. He's prepared a list of 20 pro-heroes (matching his pupils' number) and asked each of them to choose one for their presentation.

Bad news: none chose pro-hero Dynamight, who is obviously at the top of the list.

It's not that they dislike him or anything. It's just that they know how obsessed Izuku-sensei is with Dynamight. They're scared of providing wrong information to the person who knows this extraordinary hero better than anyone, and risk their lives the worst punishment ever after that.

But when Izuku senses the lack of enthusiasm from his students toward the Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, he doesn't understand and feels downcast. He expected them to fight—figuratively—to be the lucky one handling Dynamight's name with great care.

Izuku has no choice: while he'd initially decided to leave the choice up to them, now, he's changed the rules and turned to a lucky draw. Like this, a poor victim was picked and had to live with the most intense pressure they'd ever experienced in their short life. When presentation time came, what had to happen happened; from their first slide, briefly introducing Dynamight's body and constitution, Izuku-sensei stood with such vigor that his chair flew right against the wall behind—as if the fate of the world were at stake. As if a villain had appeared and was ready to put his student's life at risk.

Nope. They had simply mistaken Dynamight's weight, and Izuku couldn't let such misinformation be spread around, especially knowing that Dynamight's weight was much less than what had just been told! After rectification, Izuku didn't sit back. Most naturally, he started rambling about other facts regarding his childhood friend's body, and ended up giving a whole ass presentation instead of his student, who was still awkwardly standing next to the projection screen, waiting for this all to end. It only ended when the bell rang and Izuku realized he'd ruined his student's hard work. What grade was he even supposed to give him now? xxx sorry, it's not really elaborated but this shit popped up in my mind at 3am while trying to sleep and I ended up laughing with myself like a crazy hag in my bed lol. I wanna write a fic like this so bad... I'm keeping it in mind teehee.

I’ve been rereading the current anime arc in the manga, and finally got to The Apology™️, and I wondered what words Katsuki used before translation.

Disclaimer: I’m sure others must have posted about this before but I couldn’t recall reading it myself. I do remember there was a lot of talk about the way he used “gomen” as the Japanese fandom were saying how cute and childlike it sounded, so I thought I’d see if there was anything else interesting there.

Oh, my sweet sweet baby boy…

So, just before he says ‘Sorry for everything’ (ima made gomen), he says:

言ってどうにかなるもんじゃねェけど

本音だ

出久

“Itte dōnika naru mon ja nē kedo… Honne da…Izuku”

Which in the English translation, gave us:

And “speak my truth” is lovely and all, but the word from the original that stuck out for me was ‘honne’.

I’m not sure how familiar most people are with honne–tatemae (I only know about it because I go way way too in-depth when researching for my fics lol), but it’s a concept that every Japanese person is deeply aware of, and underpins much of their society.

Here’s the Wikipedia intro:

Ohhh, that is some extra juicy context for Kacchan’s speech. Essentially, he is saying that everything up until now has been his tatemae, a public façade to protect his own position (strong, powerful hero etc), but that he can’t keep that up and he wants Izuku to see his honne, his true, private self.

Excuse me while I melt from the cuteness.

But WAIT! There’s more!

How much do you know about second-person pronouns in Japanese? (Nope, this isn’t about ‘kare’ again this time hehe).

You’ve probably noticed in the anime that Kacchan says “Temee” a lot, and you may have also noticed that it tends to get translated as cursing. So it actually just means ‘you,’ but like a really rude way of saying it, such that the only way of reflecting that in English is to replace ‘you’ with something like Bastard or Asshole.

Again, have an expert explain:

This and the below are from a very excellent article about second-person pronouns and how they are used for context and drama in anime specifically. I’d recommend reading it as the context is really interesting!

So although pronouns aren’t actually commonly used or necessary in much spoken Japanese, when they are used, it’s a deliberate way to tell you about the relationship dynamic between two characters.

But why, you may ask, am I talking about pronouns again?!

Because, dear friends, throughout the first half of his speech, Kacchan uses ‘temee’ as usual to describe his past with Izuku. I’ve highlighted it below, and pls also note the shaky speech bubble showing his nerves during the ‘honne’ section. 🥺

HOWEVER, straight after he says he wants Izuku to see his Honne, Katsuki switches pronouns from ‘Temee’ (v rude), to ‘Omae’ (very casual/familiar). Below is the page after the apology.

Considering we now know pronouns are not necessary to convey meaning, that’s a hell of a lot of omaes on one page!! Boy cannot get enough of saying it.

If you want more about the different pronouns, see below for a helpful table of common uses for both. And please indulge my shippy heart for highlighting the second usage (but, like ‘kare’, you never know)…

Katsuki is showing Izuku immediately and repeatedly that this is who he wants to be to him and how he wants the world to see them. His honne, his inner desire, is to be close to Izuku, to treat him as an equal.

He’s not just saying sorry, he’s showing that—at least from his perspective—things are going to be different from now on. But, like, also, that this was how he felt about him in private the whole time?! GAHHHH.

So there you go, the apology that was already a massive turning point in their story/relationship was actually even deeper and more beautiful than we all thought. Yet again, Japanese conveys nuance and intention far beyond what can be translated. 😭💕

Oh so your couple spent MONEY on a 738282 carat diamond ring to propose or whatever? What about the money you earned for 8 years to fund your partner's support items so you could go back to be heroes together again?

i love ph!bakugou/teacher!deku because i need izuku to witness katsuki continue to be utterly obsessed and encaptivated by him, even tho izuku is a quirkless civilian now, ok? i need izuku to slowly realize over those eight years that it was never ofa that allowed him to stand by kacchan's side, that kept kacchan coming back to him again and again. look, i need him to recognize that katsuki's been obsessed with this damn freckled faced nerd since childhood - before the quirks, before the heroics - and that ain't gonna change, ever.

They look so cute here I want to put them in my pocket ☹️

l've been thinking it'll be so cute if he visits him in the middle of classes bc his schedule is really busy as a hero, so he just goes to see Deku at any chance he gets 😊 maybe they have lunch together and Bakugou tells him about his missions and Deku gives his insight and also tells him about the interesting quirks of his students...

Bakugou trying to act normal and not spoil the big surprise he's been preparing for Deku with the rest of their friends... 🥲 and being so excited to tell him, but he doesn't want to spoil it...
