#i wish i could appreciate bakugou's development more but hori's insistence on painting his behavior towards izuku as funny now...

I am so tired of how horikoshi chooses to write izuku and katsuki's relationship...

kudou... who looked into izuku's memories and saw him being bullied, emotionally and physically, for years by katsuki... is telling izuku to visualize a moment where katsuki is being an unprovoked asshole to him in order to transfer ofa to shigaraki forcibly.

this desire of hori's to have his cake and eat it too when it comes to katsuki's abusive behaviors is too much for me. one minute they're slapstick; other times I am supposed to take them seriously as awful things he needs to change about himself. it's so inconsistent, and it drives me up a wall. it's clear horikoshi wanted to incorporate typical rival tropes for these two, but to me, those just really do not work when you have a bully and victim dynamic.

#i am rewatching haikyuu rn. #and kageyama lashing out at hinata does not bother me. #because they don't have that history bakugou and deku have. #but god!!! #hey izuku imagine yourself being abused while you try to save the inner abused child of shigaraki. #all that abuse can come in handy!!! you can force the quirks of ofa into shigaraki just like katsuki slammed papers into your face!!! #🥴 #imagine slapstick comedy between shouya and shouko in koe no katachi. #don't think that would work very well with shouya's character arc 🙃 #i wish i could appreciate bakugou's development more but hori's insistence on painting his behavior towards izuku as funny now... #yeah it rubs me the wrong way. #bnha spoilers #bnha critical #ahhh!!! i like the idea of izuku and katsuki but the execution... the execution... #could he not have used someone being forceful with izuku but in a caring way??? #it would work better anyway for what izuku is trying to do with tenko. #izuku cares about saving shigaraki deep down. #why should he channel the actions of someone being cruel to him in this heroic moment?
