While the Cameras are Rolling

“Have you ever seen those funny MLB compilation videos?”

“What videos?”

“Those ones with the players goofing off during the game? They’re so hilarious.”

“No?”

“Here, watch.”

Keys click as a playlist of compilation videos are pulled up. The first one in the list is selected and it starts with an ad. When the ad ends, the video begins with the announcers laughing. The camera pans to the pitcher’s mound as Bakugou Katsuki, pitcher for the Yuuei Heroes, steps to the mound. He digs the front of his shoe into the dirt, lips curling into a snarl, as he focuses his gaze on the batter at home plate. Bakugou spits, clicking his tongue. “Here it comes,” the announcer laughs, as the camera zooms in closer, focusing on Bakugou and his pinched brows and taut posture.

“Get ready to die from my pitch you bastard!” he shouts as he throws the ball.

“We can never have a game without him threatening the batters,” the announcer jokes.

The video changes to home base where Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu from the Musutafu Bees is preparing to swing. The catcher, Kirishima Eijirou, says something to Tetsutetsu making him laugh, distracting him from the play. The umpire Toyomitsu chastises them both and they bow apologetically to him.

“Sorry, Fat!” Kirishima says, referring to umpire Toyomitsu by his nickname.

He knocks them both on the head as a reminder to pay attention. The crowd laughs. The pair of them return to their proper positions at home base, Kirishima punching the inside of his catcher’s mitt, and Tetsutetsu twisting his hands on the grip of the bat.

The video changes again. The team is on timeout. Coach Yagi is standing on the pitcher’s mound speaking fervently to Bakugou and Kirishima, along with first baseman Sero Hanta. Bakugou’s arms are flailing as he argues with the coach, but the camera pans away from them, focusing on third baseman Todoroki Shouto.

“Todoroki! Todoroki!” A fan calls out to him, waving and pointing to a sign they are holding. Todoroki wets his lips, glances at his teammates, then jogs over to the fan that is standing just behind the wall. They hold their phone out to take a picture, he makes a peace sign and leans in closer, then the fan grabs him by the shirt collar and places a kiss on his cheek. Todoroki freezes, face flushing, as the kiss is on full display on the jumbotron.

He waves sheepishly at the crowd, then jogs back to his position on the diamond, pulling the brim of his cap down low so that no one can make eye contact.

“Next up to bat is number eleven: Kaminari Denki. He’s had a bit of a slow start to the season, but everyone’s anticipating a quick turnaround. With teammate Iida Tenya on second base, do you think he’ll be able to hit him home?”

“We’ll have to see.”

The announcers go back and forth as Kaminari prepares to swing. Pitcher Monoma Neito from the Bees throws the first ball, Kaminari swings, and it’s a strike. Kaminari shimmies in place, preparing for the second pitch. Monoma throws it, and as Kaminari swings, the ball catches his arm. It’s a walk! Dramatically, Kaminari drops the bat, flips his hand so that its back is resting against his forehead, and pretends to faint at home plate, collapsing to the ground.

Everyone laughs. Toyomitsu shakes his head, hands resting at his hips. Kaminari scrambles to his feet, covered in dirt, and jogs to first base.

The video cuts to the dugout. Outfielders Satou Rikido and Shouji Mezou are holding opposite ends of a baseball bat while pinch hitter Ojirou Mashirao does the limbo underneath it.

“Apparently,” the announcer starts, “the team has a ritual to boost their spirits where they like to play games in the dugout for bonding. It looks like today’s game is limbo. I remember one time they were playing hopscotch. Watching a bunch of grown men play hopscotch like grade-schoolers is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.”

“Boy, I wish I could have seen that!” The other announcer says laughing. “Oh! It looks like Ojirou failed to go low.”

Ojirou’s chest hits the bat, knocking it free of Satou and Shouji’s grip. It clangs loudly against the concrete flooring of the dugout and the other members of the team tease him.

Back on the field, both team mascots are running slow, awkward laps around the diamond—their oversized costumes swaying side to side.

“Well, would you look at that,” the announcer says as the camera pans back to the dugout again. Sero is swaying, trying to balance a baseball bat on his nose. “I’ve seen basketball players spin balls on their fingers, but never a baseball player with a bat on his nose!” The announcer laughs. “Sero Hanta looks more like a seal doing that. Look at him go! He’s really keeping it up there. Who would have thought he was that poised.”

“Incredible,” the other announcer agrees.

Sero has his arms stretched out on either side of him and his back arched, eyes fixated on the bat balancing precariously atop his nose. The other players in the dugout are pumping their firsts and cheering, hollering for him to continue. When the bat’s teetering finally goes too far to the left, Sero quickly snatches it before it can fall and hit him in the face. The others cheer and boo at the same time, both proud of how long he went, and also disappointed to see it end. He smiles wide at them, giving his teammates a thumbs up.

The video cuts back to the field again and Kaminari is back up to bat. He swings, hitting the ball with a loud smack, and takes off running. The outfielders chase after it and left fielder Tsuburaba Kosei catches the ball just as it’s about to go over the wall, securing the fly ball. Kaminari comes to a stuttering stop just past second base and he leans into baseman Awase Yosetsu’s personal space, tugging his shirt out of the front of his pants, smiling, before jogging back to home plate.

At home plate again, Tetsutetsu is readying to swing. Bakugou throws the ball, he connects with it, but it bounces backward. The ball hits the top of Kirishima’s glove as he tries to catch it, then knocks into umpire Toyomitsu’s stomach. It falls to the ground, rolling away. Tetsutetsu drops his bat, turns to face Toyomitsu and pats him on the stomach, then gives him a hug. He’s okay! Toyomitsu tries to suppress a laugh, but his face cracks, lips parting into a wide grin.

⚾⚾⚾⚾

The video ends and another begins to play automatically. The Heroes are against the Shiketsu Cyclones and the mascots are out on the field. While the mascot for the Heroes looks like any ordinary person in a superhero costume, the Cyclones have a large tornado-shaped costume. Each mascot has a remote control in their hand and they’re pointing at small RC cars down the field.

“It’s time for the annual RC car race between the mascots from the Yuuei Heroes and the Shiketsu Cyclones!” the announcer cheers. “That tornado isn’t giving up as he directs his car towards home plate, but, oh wait—it looks like one of the cars just took out Shiketsu short stop Yoarashi Inasa. He’s clutching at his ankle! That’s gotta hurt.”

Yoarashi hops up and down on one foot, cradling his injured ankle between his hands. One of his teammates comes over to check on him and he waves them off. “Looks like he’s gonna be okay,” the announcer verifies. The cars keep moving, hurrying toward home plate, and the video changes before anyone gets to see who won.

The Heroes are up against the Bees again and Kirishima is up to bat. He does a couple of practice swings and waves to Todoroki on second base. Todoroki waves back, readying himself to run. Kirishima cracks his neck, locks eyes on Monoma, points his finger at the pitcher, and makes some halfhearted threat about how he’s going to destroy him (Bakugou’s influence must have rubbed off on the catcher). Monoma steps forward, and throws. The ball curves, but Kirishima is on it. There’s a resounding smack as it makes contact with the bat and it flies high, sailing over the back wall with ease. Music plays to celebrate his homerun and he remains at home plate, dancing with the bat in hand.

As Kirishima shakes and shimmies, Todoroki makes his way around third base and finally home. They high-five, then the redhead finally starts doing his lap. He doesn’t run it, though. He continues to dance, moonwalking and doing the lawn mower around the entire diamond. The Bees shake their heads, impatiently waiting for him to complete his victory lap as the Heroes holler and cheer from the dugout. He nods at Shouji who is waiting for his turn at bat; Shouji nods back in approval.

He finally makes it to home plate and Toyomitsu yells at him to hurry up and get off the field. Kirishima rubs at the back of his neck, laughing and apologizing for taking so long. Toyomitsu shakes his head, and bumps him on the shoulder with his fist.

The Bees are back up to bat and Awase prepares to swing. He hits the ball, but it veers right, popping a foul into first base territory. Sero runs after it, jumping up against the wall to catch the ball mid-air. He falls backwards, only to be caught by a few fans in the first row. He thanks them, offering the ball as a gratitude. The coach, Yagi, yells at him to get back on the field and he laughs sheepishly.

“You can’t have him back!” one of the fans shouts. The others chime in, playing along with the joke. “Yeah! We caught this player. He went over the foul line. He’s ours now!”

Sero smiles a wide, toothy grin, stretching his arms out around his fans. “You heard’ em!” he shouts back to his coach. “I guess I’m stuck here now.” He waves at one of the concession workers making their way up and down the staircase. “Hey! Over here! A round of beers for the row please.”

The concession worker nods and the fans cheer. He brings over his tray of beers, handing them to each of the guests in the first row. Coach Yagi shouts again and Sero smiles apologetically at the fans. “Sorry folks, looks like you don’t get to keep me after all. Maybe after the game…” He winks. One of the ladies in the row swoons, almost spilling her new drink as he jumps back down onto the ground, kicking up dirt around him. Coach Yagi marches over to first base reprimanding Sero for his hijinks.

Bakugou is at the pitcher’s mound, barely keeping his composure. His arms are wrapped around his sides as he laughs violently in place. The other team members are also snorting and giggling and Sero’s face is plastered on the jumbotron as he just shrugs, looking very unapologetic.

The video ends and the browser is closed before another one can begin to play. Sports always seemed sort of dumb and uptight, but after watching the players have so much fun during their games and with the audience, it becomes a refreshing change of perspective. When it comes down to it, athletes really are just like everyone else. They like to mess around and have a good time. They play pranks on one another and spend time with their fans. It’s a pleasant realization that leaves a smile on one’s face.

“I didn’t know all that stuff happens during games.”

“Kind of crazy, right?”

“Yeah. Maybe we should go to a game some time. It’d be fun to see if any of that happens in person.”

“Yeah! I’d like that.”

The computer is closed, and the two people watching have a resounding new desire to take an interest in sports, even if it’s not for the actual sporting part of the game. Regardless, the Heroes have a new fan headed their way.

BNHA Non/Disney Theme Songs

(This is my personal opinion about the characters and their songs because some others used are overrated)

Yuuga Aoyama - Shiny (Moana), just cause he Cannot Stop Twinkling!!! ☆ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧★~(◡ω◕✿)

Mina Ashido - On My Way (Brother Bear), this song is really happy and upbeat for an upbeat girl. I can't help but see her singing this with Bakugou just growling at her to shut up (One of Best Girls indeed)

Tsuyu Asui - Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride (Lilo and Stitch), I just like to imagine Tsu taking every opportunity to go to the beach just for the water (One of my favourite Best Girls)

Tenya Iida - He Lives In You (The Lion King 2), God damn it, poor Tensei!!! I just always feel so bad for these two brothers whenever I watch Season 2!

Ochako Uraraka - Almost There (Princess and The Frog), This girl is so selfless and she practically works her ass off for her goal, I love her so much! (A great Best Girl is what she is)

Mashirao Ojirou - Go The Distance (Hercules), I can see this from a certain angle if he was given some more screen time but it just fits in his case despite being so underrated.

Denki Kaminari - I'm Still Here (Treasure Planet) MY PRECIOUS BABY BOY! I LOVE HIM!!! Because of how some people look down on him (looking at you, Jirou), I believe that he will have his moment to shine soon and I will be so proud of him. My child deserves more praise than he gets. He Best Boi!!!

Eijirou Kirishima - Make A Man Out of You (Mulan), isn't it obvious? Kiri is just so manly and chivalrous, his dedication to saving Bakugou earns him this song

Koji Koda - Barking At The Moon (Bolt), this song really gives me a lot of animal vibes and I thought that it would really suit Koda. It's pure and adorable like himself

Rikido Satou - Be Our Guest (Beauty and The Beast), as a character, we don't know much about him other than the fact that he likes to bake and might be a little self conscious considering that he wasn't expecting to be the winner of the best dorm room competition (And for all the girls to unanimously agree). This was the only song that I felt like would suit him.

Mezo Shouji - Immortals (Big Hero 6), I just picture Shouji going over a training montage with this theme. Other than that, it's a cool song for a cool (and moral) guy with a cool quirk. He is definitely one of my Best Bois but it sucks to see how underrated he is.

Kyoka Jirou - Real Gone (Cars), in all honesty, Jirou is my least favourite character in all of BNHA (I like Mineta more than her and that's saying something) so she was the hardest one for me to decide on a song. But after listening to this song, I just felt the punk rock vibes that definitely go with Jirou so this was my option.

Hanta Sero - Try Everything (Zootopia), ever since the Sports Festival, I always notice how other characters are trying their hardest to improve and Sero is one of those people. He's not just some comedic relief character and I feel like his moment to shine will come soon. This song just really suits his nature in my opinion.

Fumikage Tokoyami - Friends On The Other Side (The Princess and The Frog), Need I explain more? This dark goth just screams friends with the monster under his bed.

Shoto Todoroki - Out There (Hunchback Of Notre Dame), after realising that it was his quirk, Shoto has been showing his attempts to socialise and trying to use his left side for himself and we've all been there at some point in our lives. What can we do other than relate to him? Love him. Just love this pure and socially awkward boi. He deserves more appreciation for that.

Tooru Hagakure - When Will My Life Begin, Reprise (Tangled), she's so upbeat and bubbly and the joy in this song expresses so much of her lively personality as she works to become a hero (another one of my favourite Best Girls)

Katsuki Bakugou - You Can't Take Me (Spirit, Stallion Of The Cimarron), Bruh, this motherfucker is a stubborn mule when it comes to cooperation. They couldn't chain him down at the Sports Festival so what made the League think that they could change his morals by kidnapping him? Bakugou's a real softie at heart and he loves his class and squad very much, he's just to prideful to show it

Izuku Midoriya - Zero To Hero (Hercules), it's in the title. After meeting All Might, this boy has done nothing but improve at a steady and realistic pace. Who wouldn't be proud of him and his driven goals?

Minoru Mineta - One Little Slip (Chicken Little), trust me, I don't like Mineta as much as the next person but if Horikoshi actually put some effort into his character, he'd be a decent guy. So this song was the one to pop in my mind for some on who's *shudders* trying to be cool...

Momo Yaoyorozu - I Am Moana (Moana), like this moment in the movie, Momo was able to find the confidence to push her to pass the final exam for her and Todoroki. She's so sweet and pure and we must all protect her. (My final Best Girl)

Shouta Aizawa - One Last Hope (Hercules), this man really loves his kids deep down but man, has he pushed them to their limits. He's definitely the best teacher a school could have cause he's so unbiased and takes no shit from his kids, that moment when he immediately jumped to fight at the USJ was what made the whole fandom unanimously love him

All Might - You're Welcome (Moana), this man... This secret father... I love him. I can just see him bursting into singing this song specifically whenever he's being interviewed and asked about his quirk which gets the press off his back for the moment. Best Dad. 11/10

Hitoshi Shinsou - Jack's Lament (The Nightmare Before Christmas), this poor boy deserves more love than he gets. His quirk is so cool and he is a great, compelling character cause he's the pure representation of all of us longing for our goals even after people put us down (sit down, Midoriya, you're in the Hero Course). Kaminari is right, he will be a great hero someday.

I love these Disney songs so much that I made a playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/pqaanr2qpi9sq9rhcrz1f7b13/playlist/4B3wn8FAA7rJz720H7XUAc?si=tkQMMWEXTdaqJ27kLreiGg
