The fucking poetry of AFO calling Bakugo nothing but Izuku’s shadow-the thing Bakugo has struggled with since he was 4 years old???? When we KNOW Izuku actually feels the opposite??? And how that’s been the root of their miscommunication for the whole story?????????

Interesting bit about Bakugo’s character:

His eyes.

.

I was scrolling through some old liked videos on tiktok, and I encountered a post by user ttenkos (on tiktok) about how Katsuki’s eyes are hidden when he experiences a lot of hurt and emotion.

Because of that, it’s likely he’s crying here, they argued. (below)

Or he’s at least really hurt, and it’s apparent in his eyes.

And so a lot of us have made that connection. That Katsuki hides his face because he’s about to or is crying.

But like, I finally put two and two together and realized just how significant Katsuki’s eyes are—

Bakugo’s eyes betray his emotions.

Which is a trait unlike of any other character in My Hero.

This is established in the first damn chapter of the manga.

Bakugou’s eyes are like literally the thing that propelled this story forward because when Bakugo was shouting insults and blasting his quirk, they exposed his fear and motivated Izuku to act.

Then… Izuku tells Bakugo his secret. And the whole time, Bakugo is on the verge of crying.

From puffy eyes to a clouded glare, there’s something about his eyes in every panel.

He hides behind his hair for a while, and after that it’s revealed…

That Katsuki is crying :(

I love this scene so much. Wanna give it a kiss on the cheek /// there’s so much insight into their characters!

That same pattern is shown here:

And in that scene with Endeavor. But this time, he doesn’t cry when his eyes are exposed. Which I think says as much about his character as the previous examples.

.

.

.

And then there’s this, finally.

Yeah baby, that’s what I’ve been waiting for. That’s what it’s all about.

Anyways, there wasn’t really a point to this post. I just love what Horikoshi does with Bakugo’s character, and this little quirk (haha) of Bakugo just has a special place in my heart. So I wanted to share :)

Bnha 360 in a nutshell

Since some students are recording the fight I thought this would be appropriate lmao

[sobasluuurp]

It's alright now. Why? Because Kacchan is imitating Deku.

[0ynes]

"how does shigaraki know bakugou is the closest too izuku?" maybe because deku went berserk right in front of him last time he hurt katsuki?!? Are we reading the same manga?

no, like bakugou and bakudeku antis are LOSING THEIR MINDS over this, it’s so funny lmaoooo Bakugou is very important to Izuku, and if you missed his character development and are still stuck in the first arc of the series, idk what to tell you. argue with the wall tho. Edit: chapter 360 Anyway, this is how it feels to be right and read the manga. 

[hayakaws]

we finally have a Tomura development.

this page from the new bnha chapter (360) could be the spark of what we have been waiting for a long time, Tomura’s return. 

what mirio tells tomura in this page is “Sokka, omae wa, tomodachi ga inakattan dana.” which could be translated as “I see, you didn’t have any friends.”

before this, tomura has no pupils, as usual, since he is not the one in full control. but after mirio tells him this, he appears to have his pupil(s) back. and his response to Mirio is “Huh?”. 

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.

he almost has his normal eyes back. he is surprised. he stops for a second and then gets hit by Mirio.

what was Tomura doing here? why couldn’t he dodge, or why couldn’t he defend himself with all those crazy arms? it’s because he was caught so off guard that he couldn’t even do anything. what Mirio told him must have sparked something in him. of course we cannot know what exactly he was thinking at that moment unless we see his pov, but i assume he was questioning whether he ever had friends or not. which would lead to him thinking about THE LEAGUE. 

yes, the league. THEY were his friends. toga, spinner, twice, compress, kurogiri, dabi, magne. he HAD friends. he had friends that he cared about. he had friends that cared about him. each other.

and he still has them. he just has to remember again. he has to remember himself, his friends, and reject AFO. and it seems like this chapter might be the start of it.

I know it's not official so grain of salt; but this is really sus that AFO knows that A) Bakugou grew up watching All might winning and wanting to be just like him (to win). B) The fact that he also knows that Bakugou was blinded by his ego, instead of what Tomura though of before was that Bakugou was oppressed in hero society. And C) AFO knows that Bakugou feared being in Izuku shadow no matter how hard he tried to be stronger then Izuku.

it's disturbing that AFO knows so much about Bakugou fears that have stemmed from his childhood, and considering that Bakugou was friends with the doctors grandson, I have a feeling AFO been keeping an eye on Bakugou for a lot longer then realises.

When you think about the fact that the old Kacchan would respond to AFO's taunt of living in Izuku's shadow by explosive anger and spite due to being compared to Izuku... who he saw as someone who should be weaker than him,

But present Kacchan is likely hearing that and, instead, is now fearing that Izuku, being so much stronger now, might leave him behind, and then AFO is confirming this, and laughing about it in his face as he threatens to kill him.

That it's not just a petty "he thinks he is better than me" feeling of rage, insecurity and envy like it used to be...It's more of a "he IS better than me and he's going to move on" feeling of fear and loss of a relationship with Izuku that he never really understood that he wanted in the first place.
