I've taken a couple days to ruminate on episode 128 in comparison to chapter 298. Mainly because episode 128 has given me such mixed signals when it comes to studio Bones current objective.
Tumblr media
In season four and five we saw a lot of bkdk scenes robbed completely or at least misportrayed in comparison to it's manga counter parts. And though I just made a whole post recently regarding the new found hope I had based on how Bones handled Katsuki Bakugo: Rising, the handling of this episode is beyond what I was anticipating.
Tumblr media
Not only did they not cut bkdk scenes but they ADDED to them. In chapter 298, Bakugo does not wake up and whisper "Deku" and Sero does not put an emphasis on him remaining calm when hearing the news of Deku's condition. These are not completely off base, but they are /heavily emphasized/!
Tumblr media
So what does this mean? We knew Bones was playing a long game when it came to season 4 and 5... But were they playing a longer game before that? With the existence of the new opening sequence AND these additional bkdk scenes at the same time, it makes me wonder...are they in on it? Is their lack of commentary on the bkdk dialogue NOT a dodge against bkdks but instead a dodge against mainstream? I've never considered this... But maybe it's time that we do.
