I got home from work and couldn't immediately open it because i had archery practice so the first thing i did as i got home was open it and damn that was so worth my money.
And I wanna thank @takemyhandzine and all the beautiful people that did such an amazing job with the art and the FF and just everything!
During the Boku No Hero Academia “The Two Heroes” movie live viewing on August 4th, 2018, Nobuhiko Okamoto (Bakugou’s VA) said that he was glad that Kirishima was able to be next to Bakugou as he thanked him. He also says “thanks” as Bakugou here too. I quickly subbed this short video! Enjoy~
The way he says “thanks” as Bakugou in this video is similar to how Bakugou thanks Kirishima in the movie, but the movie’s delivery is softer and more shy.
but that isn’t just it. There is also Kirishima’s Reactions leading up to this moment:
And, if the season is supposed to end around chapter 120 or so (where people were guessing, although it depends on the amount of fillers Bones adds) then we also have this scene -
And just the entire provisional arc, where Kirishima does not leave Bakugou’s side -
. . . Basically there are a lot of canon moments between the two in the amount of story that is supposed to be covered this season, and those moments help cement the fact that these two have a close personal bond and care deeply about each other. And these are just the big moments in the manga; there is no telling how much background and filler will be added for these two to help strengthen their bond before the rescue is covered.
Not to mention, the Anime has started off pretty strong -
- so I feel pretty confident in the claim that season 3 of BNHA is season Kiribaku
Guys, Gals, and Nonbinary pals, I present to you…..
THE ANTI HORIKOSHI FLAG!
Okay in all honesty, if bnha really upsets you….if Hori really upsets you….if this Endeavor arc really triggers you….please, please, pleeeeeease DROP THE MANGA/ANIME.
For the sake of your own mental health (I’ve actually seen someone say they got a panic attack from this arc) just stop, especially you minors out there. Cuz there are way too many people investing too much hatred into this series, just log off tumblr, and go outside to get some fresh air.
Don’t invest too much time into something you hate. If you stay away from it you’d feel a lot better, trust me!
Don’t attack this man for writing his own story, everything belongs to him and there’s nothing you can do about it.
You don’t need to like Endeavor, but you also shouldn’t attack the people who are happy at the fact that he’s willing to change, especially if the said people are victims themselves.
his eyes are so pretty??? he’s got long eyelashes and they’re just… so damn pretty…. wtf
he’s just so pretty and he looks like a tiny, angrier version of his mom and that’s adorable
his adorable baby sideburns
his BUFF ASS ARMS
how fucking creative he is with his powers?? like?? he’s so good at controlling his explosions and coming up with super creative ways to use them???
his adorable little cocky smirks
his “i give no fucks except actually i do but i will never fucking admit to it so shut your fucking mouth before i blow your ass up” attitude
how he’s an angry crier and super emotional
how he’s actually pretty chill too??? when he’s not pissed off????
how he shows kindness by being an aggressive, angry little shit
how he’s a little shit in general
mr. “only time he smiles is when Deku gets punched in the nuts”
and then he calls the kid cute
Bakugou no
how he doesn’t wear socks
his dumbass baggy pants. child. child pull up your pants. please.
his tanktops
how he shows off his teeth when he’s in battle as if he’s trying to intimidate his opponents by showing his teeth like animals do
how tiny he looks with sleeves on but then he looks fucking hUGE in tank tops
his dumbass adorable little description for his hero outfit (including KILL WITH MY KNEES and SOMETHING AWESOME!!!)
also his shitty little doodles of himself and the how he actually kinda sucks at art when he’s so good at everything else
how he’s SUPER SMART but doesn’t know how to friend
HOW HE’S 3RD IN THE CLASS he’s mr. blasty angry guy but BOY DON’T LET THAT FOOL YOU BOY IS SMART AS FUCK
“how does one show concern? oh, i know, by telling them WATCH YOUR DAMN SELF”
how he admires All Might so much and wants to be just like him and has built his entire view of heroes on the person he admires the most b/c in the end he’s still just a kid and still has those pure, child-like admiration and goals ten years later and nothing is going to stop him from reaching those goals
(which sometimes isn’t healthy or good but. still. he’s working on it)
how he comes up with dumbass nicknames for people he doesn’t care about b/c he’s too lazy to remember their names unless they catch his attention and earn his respect
how he’s slowly growing as a person and how he’s giving out advice to his classmates and doing it willingly and helping when they feel down and he’s slowly making friends even without really knowing how but the rest of the class is noticing that he’s not just an angry little rage machine but he’s slowly getting better and trying and they’re getting inspired by him
I’ve hit rock bottom…. I’ve read every single Bakugou Katsuki x reader on the internet… tumbrl, wattpad, archive of our own, quotev, deviant art, fanfic.net, you name the website, I’ve been there, heck even oc x Bakugou but just replaced them with myself….. I’ve concurred everything… I’m now just left with the emptiness of having no more x readers to read… at this point I may be a little to obsessed with bakugou… just a little bit…
so. i’ve gotten a lot of messages and asks about this, so i figure i’d address it.
Bakugou was not abused. Bakugou knows he was not abused.
Bakugou overheard Todoroki’s story of how Endeavor abused his family, and the expression he had on afterward says that Bakugou’s never been presented this this sort of situation before. it caught him off guard. it’s not- right. it isn’t normal.
Bakugou wasn’t prepared to hear it.
and later on, he confronts Todoroki (trying to rile him up to fight him at full strength), and brings up his past. Bakugou says he doesn’t care about it. he’s trying very hard to convince Todoroki that hearing his past didn’t mean anything to him, except it clearly does. that’s why he’s bringing it up.
he does care. he does care about Todoroki’s home life. he does care about what Endeavor did to him. he wants Todoroki to let go of that and accept his powers as his own, just like Izuku did, but in his own, round-about, angry, rough way.
Bakugou does care.
and if he were abused, he would’ve had a different reaction to hearing Todoroki’s past. he would’ve felt kinship, or a connection, maybe flashback to something Mitsuki did to him and think something like “That’s what happened to me!” or show some sort of recognition to the similarities between their pasts and history.
but he doesn’t. instead, he was caught off guard. he’s unprepared. he probably knows home abuse happens, but he’s never been so close to it- never known someone it actually happened to.
he wasn’t sure what to do, because he’s never been in this situation before.
Bakugou lived a sheltered life. he was constantly praised, constantly rewarded, constantly told how awesome he was and always got what he wanted, and always got away with doing shitty things. even by his own mother’s admission, they praised him too much, and it gave him an overblown ego.
he was a big fish in a small pond, and he knows it. it’s why he struggled so much at UA after getting in, because he was forced to realize that he wasn’t as awesome as he thought, and it was a big blow.
Bakugou was spoiled.
later on, we see Bakugou suggest violence to corral the kids, citing his upbringing. which, for Bakugou, probably means smacking the kids lightly on the back of the head, because that’s what Mitsuki did to him whenever he made a smart remark or got himself into trouble.
that isn’t abuse. i’m not saying it’s right, either, but it’s far from abuse. it’s something common that happens in many households, and is especially common in japanese culture. it’s not abuse, and it’s not meant to be taken seriously.
look at the difference between Todoroki’s reaction to his father’s violence, and Bakugou’s reaction to Mitsuki’s slap. Todoroki looks absolutely terrified, crying into his mother’s shirt because his father hurt her, begging not to become like his father, and then pure anger at what Endeavor’s abuse did to his mother.
meanwhile, Bakugou threatens to send Mitsuki into the ceiling, in a completely comedic, not-serious manner. clearly, the slap didn’t bother him that much if he’s yelling such silly, hyperbolic statements back at his mother.
his reaction is much closer to one he has whenever his classmates mess with him than it is a reaction towards abuse.
not to mention, All Might and Aizawa would have done something if it were something serious. they’re two of the characters who care about children’s wellbeing the most.
back to my earlier point, when Todoroki vetoes Bakugou’s idea, Bakugou gets angry, but then he flashes back to when he learned about Todoroki’s past. he remembers what Endeavor did to Todoroki and his mom. he remembers his own horrified reaction to learning about it.
that’s exactly the kind of reaction someone would have when complaining about something, and then remembering someone else around you had it way worse.
so Bakugou immediately drops it, under the guise of taunting Todoroki, but mostly because he doesn’t wanna push the issue when Todoroki’s had a bad history of violence from his own father since he was a child. he’s being conscientious of Todoroki’s home situation and upbringing, because he knows it was Bad.
Bakugou knows Mitsuki was rough on him. but he also knows that what he grew up with was completely different than what Todoroki lived through, and he, very clearly, drops the idea when he remembers this.
Bakugou respects Todoroki’s veto against the idea, because he knows about Todoroki’s personal history, and he’s being conscientious about Todoroki’s personal feelings on the issue. because he knows their personal experiences towards this are different, and Todoroki had it far worse, and he deserves to have that opinion on this subject respected and honored because of what he lived through.
Bakugou is suggesting smacking them on the back of the head, at most, because they’re being unruly and little smartasses, and that’s what his mom did to him when he was being an unruly little smartass. Bakugou knows Todoroki was abused, however, and drops the idea when Todoroki disagrees with it.
Bakugou was not abused. he knows he was not abused. he knows Todoroki was abused, however. and that’s enough for him to respect Todoroki’s voice on the matter.

A post about why Bakugou’s parents likely don’t know anything about his personal issues and problems
A meta analyzing Bakugou and Todoroki’s relationship in the manga so far
Mitsuki and Masaru…. definitely my fave part of season 3 thus far. Gah… I could die rn and have no regrets. Only wanted to see the parents who created the lil’shit. My week is complete XD
People dislike mit/suki because she is canon physically and mentally abusive towards Bakugou, just like Endeavor is to Todoroki. Not saying you can't like her here, just wanted to explain why some people don't like her.
She isn’t. She is not. You know who else would be “canon physically abusive” if she had been? All Might punching Deku straight in the face in this same episode. Jirou punching Sero in the face because he offended Momo. Tsuyu every single time she hits Mineta. This manga is full of similar gags, the reason why you’re holding up on this one specifically is because she is a mother and Bakugou is her son, but this is how it is: Horikoshi was drawing a gag. A very common one. An incredibly common one, even just inside bnha itself. I’m not saying you have to like the fact that it has been used, but what Horikoshi was doing there was showing you that Aizawa’s worries had been unecessary
You call her mentally abusive for, what, having told him he’s weak? That’s literally one single sentence out of a character you barely know in the middle of a gag scene - if you look at Bakugou, read him as a character from beginning to end, the fact that he hasn’t been brought up in a family that degraded him constantly is more than obvious. As I said, you don’t grow up that entitled and sure you’re destined to be number one if your family is treating you like dirt constantly
But if you don’t believe me you can look at the living room they’re in! Masaru and Mitsuki are designers, and nowhere in their profile they’re said to be award winning ones - yet behind Aizawa there’s prizes over prizes piled up, you think half if not all of those aren’t Bakugou’s? She says that everyone is always praising him and they’re included, you see it in how Bakugou isn’t scared of telling her he’ll kill her or tell his dad to shut the fuck up! That’s not an abused child. Horikoshi knows how to write abused children, you have proof of it with Todoroki, and Bakugou isn’t written as one
You don’t gotta like her! But don’t come at me telling me that she’s canon an abuser. Keep your headcanon interpretation to youself, please
I wanna try :3 i hope i'm doing things like this right. ^u^
