Wait pika do you really mean don't ask you about predictions? Some of my favourite Tumblr posts of all time are your thoughts, theories and predictions! :((

Please sleep also, but when you can let us know what's going on in that head of yours. I'm desperate for someone with a brain cell to discuss this chapter! (Twitter is a cesspit)

I mean, you can ask lol. I just sometimes get these vague "any predictions?" asks and it's like, YES. YES I HAVE SOME. BUT IT'S FAR TOO MANY TO JUST LIST LIKE THAT, CAN YOU PLEASE BE MORE SPECIFIC?

Okay, I'll tell you about my thoughts.

This is a new frame of the scene in chapter 1. This perspective doesn't exist as a drawing in chapter 1, but we know pretty easily what this scene was about. Why is Horikoshi putting the scene here though? Why does this scene have the line "Let go of One For All"? Why not draw Kudou saying it, or Izuku's reaction to it? Is it because this is a memory of the scene where Izuku receives OFA, so giving OFA up is coming around full circle to this moment again?

I don't think so.

This is not the moment where All Might proclaims "you are worthy of inheriting my power" and Izuku looks up in shock. This is the moment where All Might says the words Izuku has longed to hear his whole life: "You can become a hero."

We're coming back to this moment now because the emphasis is on Izuku's upcoming choice. This is about the MEANING Izuku places in OFA. All Might told Izuku "you can't become a hero without a quirk," then shows up to tell Izuku he can become a hero...by giving him his quirk.

To Izuku, letting go of One For All is sacrificing his greatest dream. He believes by giving up One For All, he can no longer be a hero. Even though there have been moments where All Might let on that the reason Izuku deserves to have OFA is because he's already a hero, Izuku never seems to internalize that answer. He thinks his heroism is tied to being the bearer of One For All.

No one has ever told Izuku he can be a hero without a quirk.

I said before I had a big guess about why Katsuki's memory was wiped at the end of Heroes Rising. Notably, he is allowed to remember most of what happens. His memory cuts off from the moment Izuku passed One For All onto him. Do you remember what Katsuki said after he got OFA?

"This is the end of your dream then, too, huh?"

That's the last thing he ever says on the matter. Sure, it's the moment where Izuku answers with "It's okay if it's you" and all that, but Katsuki never responds to that. We don't know what he's thinking about this moment.

The only clue we have is the fact that he accepted the quirk from Izuku, and how he reacted to that. He seems quite upset by the prospect, but in the end he relents and accepts OFA willingly.

Perhaps the issue he is grappling with in his heart in these moments is not the fact that he has to inherit OFA but that Izuku has to lose it. Which means...the reason he loses his memory is because his reaction is important. It's a moment we will have in the manga, which makes it a spoiler.

We've never heard Katsuki tell Izuku what he thinks of quirklessness now. All he's ever told Izuku is that way back when, he thought it meant Izuku was supposed to be beneath him. He doesn't even tell Izuku why he felt like somehow Izuku was actually above him.

He's also only ever told Izuku his actions were correct ever since he received One For All, nothing about before.

I think Katsuki's reaction to Izuku losing OFA--which could come before the final battle or after--will have to be about his feelings regarding Izuku's quirklessness. I think Izuku is going to be incredibly hurt by losing One For All because he'll think he has lost his dream, and Katsuki is going to have to set him right, because only Katsuki knew who Izuku was before he had One For All. All Might is the only other person who had at best a glimpse of Izuku.

I think Katsuki has been coming to terms with just how special Izuku is, how heroic he always has been, and that he's the only one capable of acknowledging it in a way Izuku will be able to hear because he knew Izuku before he got One For All. I think he's been grappling with this possibility ever since DvK2.

And I think he grapples with it again in Katsuki Bakugou: Rising.

In the same way Izuku saw something great in Katsuki that he wanted to cling to so he could see what Katsuki would one day become, Katsuki has always seen something great in Izuku, which awed and scared him. Their greatest divide was in not knowing what greatness the other saw in them. Katsuki has to tell Izuku what Izuku is to him.

Katsuki has to tell Izuku the words he's always wanted to hear, that he can be a hero, quirk or no, that Izuku always has been a hero, more than anybody else. Katsuki knows the truth of it firsthand.

Ugh i woke myself up at 1am for this but here

Calling it rn that once the fight’s over, Izuku’s gonna be standing over Katsuki going “daijobu??” and be holding out his hand

and Katsuki’s gonna grin like an idiot and TAKE IT

#thereby healing all of their childhood misunderstandings #and idk maybe they’ll strike the All Might victory pose together like in heroes rising #i meannnn #katsukis good arm is the one he holds up in that movie #just saying #bnha #mha #bnha spoilers #mha spoilers #bakugou katsuki #midoriya izuku #bakudeku #bkdk #my thoughts

[diced-rice]

the fear in bakugous eyes realizing he might not get another chance to “talk it over” with deku because hes certain either dekus drive and lack of self preservation will kill him, or something ‘else’ might happen. 

while he wasnt looking for a chance to sacrifice himself, bakugou probably knew...

Okay, we gotta talk about how these images were set to these lyrics.

When SKETCH first came out, lots of fan translations were floating around and getting analyzed. I have my own translation and interpretations of the song that I wanna share, at least of these five lines.

The lyrics of the chorus, which are sung as we pan over these two images, are as follows:

「居なくならないでね」

「君こそね」

能天気に約束して肩を叩く

きまってどちらかが破るのさ

今回もまた僕じゃなかっただけ

My translation would be:

-

"Don't you disappear on me, okay?"

"Not you."

Promises made in a carefree way with a pat on the shoulder.

Which of them will break, like they always do?

This time, too, it wasn't just me.

-

The first two lines are in quotations, and in my mind, they are both spoken by the subject of the song (Izuku), not the singer (Katsuki). There is some ambiguity with the use of koso (こそ), which emphasizes the word before it, often in the sense of "definitely," "for sure," or "specifically because it's [blank]." Koso is used in a lot of ways, though, sometimes as a rebuttal of sorts--

Person A: どう？ 考えは？ (Well? What do you think?)

Person B: 君こそ教えるよ (You tell me first!)

So, there is a possibility that these two lines are actually an exchange:

A: "Don't disappear on me, okay?"

B: "Hey, speak for yourself." (You're the one who might disappear.)

This would be a promise made between the two of them. You won't disappear, and neither will I.

Both lines have ne (ね) at the end, which to me suggests the speaker of the first line is continuing their train of thought, in the sense of saying "you know? ...because like, ... right?"

Inakunara (居なくなら) means to disappear, to go away, to leave, to stop existing. This line is saying, don't leave me, don't go away, don't disappear from my life. I see these lines as Izuku, the sweet little nerd, casually, lightheartedly saying, "Kacchan, don't go off and leave me, okay? Because it's you, you know? Never you." And whether Katsuki verbally reciprocates the promise or not, the feeling behind it is mutual.

The verb used for break in the fourth line is yaburu (破る). (Fun fact: The kanji used to write yaburu is the same kanji used for Katsuki's Quirk name, Bakuha: 爆破.) This is not the word you would usually use for things like "that broke his heart" or "they broke the table," which is kowasu (壊す); the meanings overlap, but yaburu is also used for broken promises.

This makes the fifth line sound like, "This time it wasn't just me who broke this promise and disappeared--you did, too."

Which... sounds a lot like Katsuki saying, "I ran away, I tried to keep you at a distance. But you are putting yourself in danger again and again--now it's you who's leaving me."

Those carefree, loving lyrics of the first three lines pan over the image of little Katsuki smiling at little Izuku. The last two lines pan over Katsuki now, reaching for little Izuku's hand as he wishes he did all those years ago. Katsuki is desperate for Izuku to not disappear, to not break that promise--but one way or another, the promise will be broken, because without a thought he chooses to give his life to save Izuku's.

Not you.
