[socalledsomethingorother]

what did izuku write in the letter he left for katsuki?

let’s start by reading the letter izuku left for ochako; the only letter of which we get to read the entirety of. (or what we’re made to assume is the entire letter.)

“Uraraka, Thank you for everything. I felt that I had to reveal my secret to everyone in class A, so I’m leaving these letters for you guys. My unique power was passed down to me from All Might, which is why Shigaraki and All For One are now coming after me.”

that alone serves as a “good enough” explanation as to why izuku left. of course, no one believes that izuku had a good reason, much less any reason to leave, but that’s besides the point for now.

i’d always assumed that izuku personalized each letter by writing something (other than the recipient’s name) in the letter, but as i’ve looked further into this, i think he wrote the same thing in the 19 letters. the only reason i’d held the former belief is that i thought it redundant and unnecessary for him to have left the same letter 19 times.

but let’s think about what happened when the class found izuku.

they’d all shared their individual experiences with and feelings for izuku.

if izuku had taken the time to personalize each letter with a paragraph specific to each of his classmates, the strategy of “let’s remind him of everything we’ve been through and assure him that we care for him.” wouldn’t have been necessary. if izuku already knew how to appreciate his individual experiences with his classmates, then them reminding him of said experiences would almost be mean—it’d essentially be all 19 of them throwing his own words back at him. even if it wouldn’t be mean, it’d be repetitive in a narrative sense.

but i don’t think that izuku, at the time of his departure from UA, could see that his friends truly appreciated him and the things he’d done for them.

there’s no way he’d write about his experiences with each classmate in the letters he left. he doesn’t view himself as important enough.

so, izuku wrote a simple explanation of his departure—along with a simple explanation of OFA—and personalized each letter with just the recipient’s name.

…but katsuki wouldn’t need an explanation. katsuki knows about OFA already.

so, what did katsuki’s letter say?

all we have of izuku’s letter to katsuki is what we can read in the panels above:

…my secret…in class A…

…hope…smile…ther

…[kacchan]…thank you…erything

just because that’s the order in which we read that panel, doesn’t mean that these three fragments were written in that order when the letter was whole.

here’s ochako’s letter again.

“Uraraka, Thank you for everything. I felt that I had to reveal my secret to everyone in class A, so I’m leaving these letters for you guys. My unique power was passed down to me from All Might, which is why Shigaraki and All For One are now coming after me.”

where’s “hope”, “smile”, or “ther”?

“ther” could be a few words. i can’t prove that it’s any one word, so let’s ignore it for now.

“hope” and “smile” are much more emotionally-charged words, indicating a more vulnerable sentence (or sentences). there’s no similar phrase in ochako’s letter; it’s again, just an objective explanation for the situation.

just the fact that we don’t know what the letter says is suspicious to us. to the other students, izuku has always been a source of anger for katsuki. they’re not going to think anything of katsuki ripping izuku’s letter, nor will they call him out for doing so.

but horikoshi has hidden things about katsuki’s and izuku’s dynamic before. we also have two proven reasons to assume that katsuki’s letter is different.

but also, it’s just not in-character for izuku to be callous to katsuki. he’s not spiteful, he doesn’t seek revenge, and he wouldn’t leave katsuki without a letter or with a letter shorter than the others’.

so, i think izuku wrote something along these lines:

Kacchan,

Thank you, for everything. (same intro as the other letters)

I’ve decided to share my secret with everyone in class A. Shigaraki and All For One have made it clear that One For All is their target. If they’re after me, then I’m putting everyone here in danger by staying at UA. (objective explanation similar to the one in the other letters, but adapted to be fitting for someone that already knows about one for all. izuku trusts that katsuki will understand how dangerous being AFO’s sole target is.)

I need to track down All For One and Shigaraki and defeat them. (ok. still an objective explanation of his plan. more than what he gave the others, but katsuki is more in-the-know so it fits.)

In order to follow All Might’s footsteps, I need to show that there’s still hope, and make sure that everyone can smile together again. (katsuki knows how important it is to izuku to be inspiring and to reassure others—like all might’s “symbol of peace” grindset.)

(end letter.)

oh,

but katsuki would definitely have a reaction to such an emotional letter, and he’d be sure to let izuku know just what he thinks about it, right?

but it’s not like they can afford to be mean and risk izuku running away! besides, who’d want to use izuku’s words against him while he’s in such a sad, vulnerable state of mind?

ah, but yet again, katsuki is humbled.

but that’s not like izuku, to say something so selfish and insensitive! he must really be in a bad state of mind. perhaps some positive encouragement—a reminder of who’s he’s going to become and who’s standing alongside him—would help?

…a reminder of what all might—the predecessor whose footsteps is izuku is so desperate to follow and the mentor izuku and katsuki share together—said to them both on the night that their relationship changed forever.

His hands tremble. And tremble. And tremble.

“You're done,” Aizawa says flatly. “Your health is in shambles, Midoriya. Whatever evolution your quirk has gone through is draining you.”

“I don't care,” Izuku says. “I have to get back out there.”

It's sad to see Deku like this when you remember that his gaol is to put a smile on everyone's face because they feel protected by him.

I hope Bakugo can make him remember who he wants to be.
