#kamino fight

[zaiban2989]

So I'm at S3 already (yeah I binge watch, sue me). I doubt I'll ever be over the scream of absolute anguish and pain Izuku lets out when he miserably fails to save Katsuki from being kidnapped, god Bones really did a great job by letting that image run for a few seconds 😭

And of course the "Don't come, Deku"... Ah lord. Where do I even begin? That little shit still comes to save him anyhow because there is no way he is trusting anyone else to do it right shskkd.

Then we of course get the rescue part with Izuku being absolutely certain that Katsuki would not take his hand, and boy does this sting. Imagine the amount of sadness he must feel about this, having to tell Ei that he's the one who needs to call out to Kacchan because the bonds he had with him has been twisted into something painful over the years, my poor baby 💚

When you think of all of this, it's not so surprising that Izuku has trouble dealing with his true feelings. I'd also be afraid to voice them out if the most important person in my life seemed like he hates me.

And then... We get to the part after All Might vs. AFO with Yagi's "next is your turn" moment and Izuku crying and OF COURSE Katsuki is the only one obsessed enough with Deku to see the nerd not behaving like the rest of them.

(How much has Katsuki been watching Izuku? A fucking loads)

This whole season is by far one of the best, I swear. Can't wait to get to deku Vs kacchan part 2 and unpack that one lol

Till next time

teenage menaces

wc: ~850; context: set a few months into the last year of Aldera, Toshinori baits Bakugou into a fist-fight and they got in trouble with admin. this was mostly me testing out whether or not I could write Bakugou without stepping into the bashing zone. izuku pov.

//

The three of them wait outside the classroom: Kacchan impatiently, Izuku anxiously, and Yagi cheerfully.

“Yagi-san, what if you get expelled?” Izuku hisses, weaving his fingers together to stop them from twitching.

“Then I’ll get homeschooled? Honestly, Midoriya-kun!” He laughs under his breath, grinning way too big for a boy who got in trouble for beating up the star pupil of Aldera. Kacchan—looks small, next to him. Small and furious, like he doesn’t know the right way to get Yagi to shut up and sit down. Izuku prays that Kacchan never finds out that Yagi is actually All Might. Something might really break.

“Shut the hell up,” Kacchan snarls. “I can’t hear what they’re saying.”

“Ah, if I know my old man…”

“I told you to shut up!”

“You don’t want to place a bet on it, Bakugou-shonen?”

“WHO ARE YOU CALLING ‘YOUNG’?!”

The door swings open to reveal a pale-faced principal and a deeply unimpressed Gran Torino. The latter is out of uniform, but the clean-cut fashion of the button-up and slacks does an effective job at communicating Torino’s professionalism. He swipes the end of his cane at Yagi’s ankle, and Yagi yelps and jumps in surprise.

“Who are you calling ‘old man’?” Torino snaps.

“Sorry,” Yagi says unapologetically. “What’s gonna happen, jii-san?”

“You’re suspended for three days,” the old man announces, and because Yagi looks delighted at not having to attend school, meaning Kacchan looks furious at this apparent light sentence, the principal valiantly steps in.

“You’ll obviously have assignments over this period, to reflect on your actions. And Bakugou-kun must have an apology made to him.”

“I don’t want his stupid apology!” Kacchan spits.

“Fujita-san,” says Torino, “I believe I told you what was going to happen. I’ll get the parents’ permission. They might even be happy about seeing their son in action, if the boy wants to be a hero. Just get me two teachers.”

“Torino-san, this is a deeply improper way to handle the situation—!”

“The entire way you’re running your school is improper,” he drawls. “Don’t worry, it’s not an issue unique to your administration. I know what I’m doing, and I know my boy. He won’t be the one hitting below the belt.”

Izuku connects the dots faster than either Kacchan or Yagi. He blurts out, “Are you having them fight?”, and two blond heads whip around to stare (or glare) him down, then back at each other. Yagi’s grin widens. 

Torino says mildly, “In martial arts classes, they call it a spar. Clears the head, knowing the hierarchy… of who’s better.”

The principal’s distress is palpable. “It’s not legal,” he protests.

“I’d win,” Kacchan declares, bristling. Izuku bites his tongue to stop himself from trying to intervene. This is not a fair fight that Torino is setting up; however Quirkless Yagi is, he hasn’t lost the experience of his time as All Might, and with all the training that Torino’s put them through, his muscle memory and reflexes are sharp. Just because Torino is promising to get parental and teacher supervision—god, it’s a whole trap. Kacchan can’t beat Yagi unless Yagi overestimates him. It would take a legitimate miracle for Yagi to lose.

“I don’t know, jii-san,” Yagi says playfully. “Isn’t that a little mean to Bakugou-kun? He won’t be able to use his Quirk in the fight.” Unlike today, his smile says. 

“You need a Quirk to punch someone down?” Torino responds, and he rolls his eyes at Yagi’s tone. “That’s when you cross into villain territory. No. This is going to be good old-fashioned fisticuffs.”

Does Kacchan sense it? He must. He’s never been an idiot. The way his eyes dart down to Torino, assessing, attempting to reassess the old man’s threat level, to so casually propose arranging a fight between two fifteen year olds—Kacchan knows the shape of the trap, then. It just depends on whether he believes he can win.

And Kacchan, Izuku knows, believes in winning.

“Midoriya-kun,” the principal suddenly says, and Izuku flinches at the sheer hope in the man’s tone. “You’ve known Bakugou-kun for a long time. Did he start the fight?” 

The weight of all their eyes is overwhelming. His loyalty is being torn two ways, and he doesn’t know who to save. If he stops this fight, and denies Kacchan the chance to show off his skills and heart, Kacchan will hate him. If he stops this fight, and affirms that Yagi threw the first punch, then—All Might won’t hate him. The wry twist to Yagi’s smile is basically a blessing to disavow his fellow Quirkless classmate.

But Izuku doesn’t want to disappoint All Might, or even Gran Torino.

He trembles, breathes shakily, and says, “Kacchan would never miss a fight he couldn’t win,” and in the time his audience takes to process, Izuku quite deliberately sides with Yagi. Not hiding. Standing elbow to elbow, in solidarity.

Kacchan’s face twists. “Deku,” he hisses.

“Focus, boy,” Torino says, and his cane clacks against the linoleum flooring. “Your fight’s with Toshinori. That is, if your parents agree to supervise.”

“What if they’re too busy?” 

“We’ll find a time.”

[freehideoutpuppy]

Ok so I've briefly touched on this, and I've done some reblogging of some other people's posts about it but I've decided it's time I add my own thoughts on Midoriya using Deku as his hero name.

Personally, I think it's one of Horikoshi's biggest failures in the early part of the series. We get glimpses of Midoriya's mental health being shit throughout the series, and the name Deku and his mistreatment by his peers and even his teachers pre OFA is pretty damn bad.

So, while I do understand what Horikoshi was going for with having Midoriya claim the name Deku as something different, it still feels wrong. Especially when adding in the context of how Uraraka just bulldozed over it being an insult that his freaking bully called him to be awful. And maybe if Bakugo had actually gotten REAL consequences for his actions or moved to 1-B or something, I wouldn't have as big an issue with it. But damn Bakugo has treated Midoriya like crap in every flash back we see. And has been a constant negative presence in Midoriya's life the entire time. And that, along with Bakugo being the one to give him that awful nickname in the first place, drives me crazy. Horikoshi has had so many missed opportunities and made a lot of choices with character development that leave me scratching my head in confusion. And about 90% of those decisions have something to do with Bakugo.

But I'm getting off topic a bit. During the war arc we really see Midoriya spiral and a big part of me actually enjoyed it in some ways because it was the first time we really get to see Midoriya behave in the way that's indicative of how he and heroes have treated by society as a whole. He believes wholeheartedly that he needs to hunt down AFO and Shigaraki alone because that's how All Might has been presented, and he has to live up to that pressure. He fully believes that his life is worthless and that he's only useful if he's doing everything he can to protect others even at the cost of himself. Which all comes back to Deku. I fully believe that Midoriya still feels like as a person he's worthless, and that's why he really chose Deku. Maybe he hoped that he could change the meaning of it now that he has OFA, but I think deep down he believes otherwise. We've seen that throughout the manga and anime. He consistently broke himself when he realized someone more powerful than him or who had a quirk from childhood was in danger. At the USJ, when he tried to attack Shigaraki, who was trying to dust Tsu. When he attacked the Zero pointer during the entrance exam so it wouldn't crush Uraraka. When he launched himself at Shigaraki to protect All Might. When he and Todoroki fought in the sports festival and he irreparably damaged his hand. There are so many instances of this kid letting himself be hurt by others to protect someone else, and he has zero regard for his own life. It's pretty heartbreaking, honestly. It's a big contributor to why I stopped reading the manga at this point. Well, that and Bakugo's deus ex machina, but well, it's bakugo, and I hate him, so that shouldn't surprise anyone who has seen my rants or knows me irl.

But yeah, I both loathe and understand why Midoriya went with Deku as his hero name. That doesn't mean I agree with the decision, but I understand it.

#anti bakugo katsuki #boku no hero academia #midoriya deserves better #Midoriya making Deku his hero name was awful #reffering to Midoriya as Deku gives me hives #get midoriya a better hero name ffs #justice for midoriya #horikoshi critical #horikoshi cant write redemption arcs to save his life #Bakugo Katsuki shouldve stayed dead fight me #Bakugo Katsuki is the worst #Bakugo is a bad plot device that should've either been made a villain or stopped being relevant after Kamino

I've been thinkin' too many thoughts about the clones recently...anyways...

If it had never been acknowledged in universe…I think I might’ve been able to ignore how unbelievably fucked up the whole clone army concept is

I might’ve been able to accept it as just a convenient plot point for the republic to have an army to use

That’s what most stories do…they use a faceless army of “disposable” soldiers so that viewers don’t get too upset when so many die in battles

It’s what keeps those stories from feeling too dark

Hell, the stormtroopers from the OT are one of the most famous examples of that

But the thing is…it is acknowledged in universe

Multiple characters on multiple occasions have pointed the fucked-up-ness of it all

Even Obi-Wan in the AOTC novel is kinda horrified at the concept when he sees the clones for the first time

And it’s soooo hard to look past that

Especially with the jedi…I find it so hard to accept that the jedi are able to just ignore and accept it once the army proves to be useful

And like, yeah, when I look at star wars as a whole I understand that a lot of inconsistencies like this are just an inevitability with massive franchises

But it gets super frustrating to hold onto my suspension of disbelief capabilities when these problems are literally mentioned to and acknowledged by the jedi

Especially because I mostly love the jedi

#I just have to remember that ‘just because’ is a perfectly okay reason for stuff in fiction #that not every thing that happens can be completely rational or else there wouldn’t be a story #If I don’t then I’ll constantly be getting in my own way #stopping myself from enjoying things that are supposed to be fun #Anyways I’m gonna go back to watching tcw now #and gaslight myself into believing that the clones have rights so I can keep supporting the jedi :) #but like seriously #millions of SENTIENT HUMAN BEINGS being engineered and grown in a lab #with the specific purpose of fighting in a war that they have absolutely ZERO say in #and the reason they’re seen as better than the NON SENTIENT droids is because they can think creatively #aka THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN MINDS AND THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS #and they literally have no choice but to fight in this war #not okay #at all #okay I'm gonna stop now or I'll lose my mind #btw I know the jedi weren't responsible for all that #but for the most part they were okay with and/or ignored that whole clones have no autonomy thing #:/ #star wars #sw the clone wars #the clone wars #sw clones #sw gar #kamino #aotc #attack of the clones #obi wan kenobi #stormtroopers #clone troopers #jedi

One of my all time favorite scenes and episodes of The Bad Batch; the mess hall food & fight scene. I Laugh every time.

(I'm also kind of impressed that the jerk reg clone wasn't concussed after getting a food tray thrown at the back of his head by Wrecker.)

I want to see more of the clones doing more stuff like this; it's just so fun, kinda wild yet normal?

Love it. Give me more.

Kamino's Ward by tunafishprincess

Izuku Midoriya worked hard to become a symbol of hope for the Quirk users of his time, fighting against a government that saw his family as little more than criminals.

Now, he awakens to a time not his own, a dazed and confused 15-year-old boy in a world that no longer needs him.

All Might knew he needed to find a successor. He just wasn’t expecting said successor to bang him in the head with a shield that belonged in their world’s history museum.

All for One just wants his son back.

i don't know what i want between hunter and crosshair in season 3. obviously i miss them being a happy little family. but at the same time? i want hunter on his knees begging for forgiveness only for crosshair to get to say he doesn't forgive him. maybe never will.

#just thinking thoughts #hunter fucked up monumentally and repeatedly #he put everything and everyone before crosshair #even after he fully knew what had happened to him with the chip #'you tried to kill us' explain why he missed every shot he ever took #aside from when he did shoot wrecker. but wrecker is the biggest/strongest of them and it was a shoulder shot #if crosshair wanted them dead. or even if he just wasnt fighting the chip so fucking hard #none of them ever wouldve made it off kamino the first time #the bad batch #crosshair #wreaking havoc

TSUYU DEVELOPMENT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS

#like this has been building up since kamino #where it was shown that she would not budge to help someone if it meant breaking the rules or law #that doesn't mean she doesn't have a heart but she's very set on not doing anything to get in the way of the professionals #and most recently at octo island she's been shown to focus on taking down toga #all of her dialogue and thoughts are ALL focused on the fight not being disturbed and also thinking about confessions #'midoriya will not be able to ignore her words' #and then she sees ocha's desperation and you can SEE her changing her mind #all leading up to this moment!! #WE LOVE TO SEE IT!! #bnha #bnha 392 #bnha manga spoilers #like bro i have been talking about this but now lets talk about it again because she GOT her DEVELOPMENT HELL YEAH #tsuyu asui #bnha spoilers #mettys posts #metty posts

[epickiya722]

It almost feels like everyone else is assuming that BKDKs were saying no one else was important in Midoriya's life but Bakugou. No, the sentence used "closest to". No one said that it was "only close person".

No one said Uraraka, Iida, Todoroki, his mom, All Might, Eraserhead, his other classmates or anybody else wasn't close to Midoriya or not important to him.

Just acknowledging that Bakugou happens to be the closest person to him.

#i like that afo!shigaraki is saying this out of little firsthand experience #the most he has seen is the sludge incident #saw that midoriya was one of the kids at kamino #and midoriya going feral in the first half of the war #he isn't at the dorms #wasn't a childhood friend or teacher at their schools #shoot he didn't even witness their fights #that's crazy! #bnha #mha #bkdk #bakudeku #bnha 359

*pops head into frame*

hey so i just wanna let people know that in russian ‘kot’ means cat (male specifically) so basically whenever you refer to Commander Cody as ‘Kot’ika’ via the mando’a diminutive ‘-ika’ for small all my brain says is

‘these bitches really be calling their commander a little kitty cat huh’

anyway i find it fucking hilarious thanks for coming to my tedtalk

*pops back out*

#tcw #tcw meta #star wars meta #commander cody #-ik and -ya suffixes also turn words into diminutives #in russian #cody's name not actually being kote: #another thing i had to find out was all fanon! #or the scar thing being from one of the kamino fighting rings! #fandom pls im dying

[deadboyswalking]

Not me writing an in-universe justification for why Muscular was where he was during the summer camp attack because putting a close-range brawler on the outskirts of the perimeter seems fucking stupid.

#basically: the dude is so crazy that he'd kill anyone he saw and ignore the kill list #and the only students who could possibly get through Dabi Mustard and Moonfish on perimeter are kill list students anyway #i write pre-Kamino so often that writing the planning stages for the mission is actually a fun mental exercise #we know where everyone was during the mission but WHY did Dabi and Tomura put them there? what was the strategy? #i know the authorial justification is 'deku needed a big action setpiece and it needed to be far from the others so it would be solo' #and at the time Deku was only close-range punches so Muscular's fighting style fit #it just makes no sense from a strategic perspective on the villains' part without further consideration

[ereborne]

please please please, did the space-monk keep his armies up his sleevies??

Of course he did! 

This is an exceptionally silly title, but in my defense, it’s a nonsense file full of contradictory timeline schenanigans and snippets of a fic I am not writing.  The same fic I’m very very absolutely not writing that I mentioned in the seven-sentence post last Sunday, actually!  It has been plaguing me. 

The thing is, is that I am so sure there ought to be a way to make it work.  I haven’t found it so far, so far I have only found many ways not to make the metaphorical lightbulb, but I feel so strongly that it should work.  I will make it work eventually, and then I will be free. 

The ‘it’ (army up our sleevey) in question:  the Mandalorian Empire!  I am so sure that there should be a way to rewrite these wholeass war stars so that the Mandalorian Excision is a turning point in the history of the Jedi Order, but in the opposite direction from canon.  Have it be the first time the Jedi were commanded to go commit large-scale violence against a sovereign system just because the Republic said to, and so the first time the Jedi found themselves truly pushed to a point where they cannot do as ordered without wholly breaking the tenets of their Order but cannot disobey and keep themselves safe and in a position to fulfil the objectives of their Order—and have them turn to the Force for a third option. 

It's a pretty radical third option, because I want to play with the timeline and also because the one scene makes me so so so happy, but—instead of killing off the Mandalorians, they meet with them, make a deal with them, pack them up on ships, and slide them into a pocket in the Unifying Force to be retrieved (much) later, when it’s safe.  Fast forward all the way to AotC, once the Jedi have discovered the clone army prepped for them on Kamino and received that implicit authorization to hire what amounts to a mercenary army, they can do a fine magician’s flourish and pull the better part of the Mandalorian Empire out of their sleeves!  What a scene that would be, I want it so badly. 

And all the fun of the set-up, too!  Imagine it, right, the Jedi have elevated ‘from a certain point of view’ to a zen art and have a now long-running history of taking creative options to do the most good possible regardless of Republic guidelines, but keeping it all on the down-low has given the Jedi chronically poor PR (essentially the same as they have in canon) and the truth of many things has passed out of memory and into the keeping of the Force.  Then the tragedy at Galidraan happens, Dooku’s faith wavers, and the Force returns one secret to them—Dooku’s good friend Sifo-Dyas gets him together with Master Archivist Jocasta Nu and the three of them learn about the pocket Mandos waiting to be pulled, the absolute proof of how far the Jedi will go (and how much the Force will support them) in order to preserve life.  And then immediately after that revelation is when Sidious comes to whisper in Dooku’s ear, all his manipulations, how the Republic is corrupt and the Jedi are useless and if Dooku wants power enough to make a difference he’ll need to do something radical—and Dooku is playing him the entire time. 

And thematically, it could be so good!  Revisiting the original Star Wars question of are the Jedi knights following lords or monks serving a higher purpose!  The distinction between lying to gain the freedom to do good (Jedi mind-trick) and manipulations to gain power to do evil (Sith compulsion)!  Once-and-future Mandos who are both the kings waiting to return to their people and the sword waiting to be drawn!  The Clone Wars are still fought, kind of!  An Empire still rises, kind of!  The clones who were chattel, produced and sold by a failed Mand’alor, denied any culture or history, destined to fight and die unacknowledged in someone else’s war; now being adopted wholesale by the returned Mandalorian people, hailed as a gift from the Force itself, sharing their knowledge of modern times and being taught all the cultural traditions of Mandalore’s heyday, being treated as beloved children and kept as safe as any Mando’ad could be!  Anakin, fatherless child of the Force, as the prophesied Chosen One, found by the will of the Living Force, trained by a sleight-of-hand master with a powerful connection to the Unifying Force, strong enough to bring balance to the Force not through massacre but instead by bringing back an entire people!  Renewal, healing, proof that good will always ultimately triumph over evil but that you have to get it there through a balanced combination of faith and hard work! So fun!!!!

Exactly how and when all this happens and what the hell all the fallout is, though, all that stuff still escapes me.  This file is an absolute nightmare bog of snippets and bullet-point ranting.

bro like...i don't think y'all understand how important the kamino fight was to toshinori. we saw how hard it was for him to tell izuku the truth — that he FAILED and now the kid may end up having to face all for one, just as he did. and more than likely ALONE at that, as toshinori not only knew the rate at which he was losing one for all, but also knew of his fate told by nighteye's foresight. we saw how much the thought pained him — he couldn't even bring himself to tell the kid until later. and then the kidnapping happens. and everything is pointing towards the likelihood that all for one was making his return. toshinori knew that this was it. this was the end. this is what nighteye predicted. but this was also his CHANCE — to end this once and for all. to not only end all for one's reign of terror on the world, but to save midoriya from the same fate. he may be going down, but he was taking all for one with him. he wouldn't accept it any other way. kamino is toshinori's much needed redemption arc.

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #like... #without kamino #toshinori would never be able to rest. #not that he does now...but... #all might was able to retire because of kamino. without it #toshinori would LITERALLY work himself to death. into the ground. #he may still not *like* the idea of retiring #but at least now he's able to ACCEPT it. #because otherwise...i don't think he ever could. #anyway don't mind me #just making more fairy wings and TORTURING MYSELF WITH THE KAMINO FIGHT !! #I SHOULD'VE JUST SKIPPED THESE EPISODES I AM #SO UPSET RN — #BUT WE'RE HALF WAY THROUGH SO IT'S TOO LATE TO BACK OUT NOW

[gentrychild]

Idk if my last two brain cells are making up things or not but was there a scene where AfO says something like All Might's "I am here" line but with boku instead of All Might's watashi for the "I"?

I cannot confirm if your last two braincells are doing anything as I cannot read Japanese. However, if you have to look somewhere, may I suggest the Kamino fight where AFO uses Blackwhip to grab All Might (just as he is trying to rescue Bakugou from a fight with the League) by the leg only to yeet him through a building?

#Kamino fight starts at chapter 89 if I remember correctly #bnha asks
