JASON DID SUCH AN FANTASTIC JOB, YOU CAN FEEL THE RANGE AND THE EMOTION OF ANGRY AND MADNESS ARE ALL THERE. GO TOUYA KING!
I shed a a lot of tears because the iconic scene is here in the dub finally. This is one of my all time favorite chapters from the manga and the performance was so phenomenal.
k so i'm rewatching mha dubbed and recognized overhaul's english va... fucking sasaki. as in sasaki-to-miyano sasaki. lololol. now i'm just imagining sasaki as a villian as i watch this
after not watching aot in a few months and watching mha instead i cant help but notice the same dub vas like… jiro? bakugo?? iida??? shoto???? dabi??????? i’m literally warming up to zeke bc he sounds like dabi
Hahaha I just saw someone get this wrong on Twitter, and I realized it's been way too long since we talked about this as a fandom so the new readers/watchers may not be aware. HERE'S A REMINDER
(For reference, what he says in Japanese is:)
当たんなきゃ死なねぇよ!
あたんなきゃしなねぇよ!
atannakya shinanee yo!
The whole point of this exchange is that it reveals Katsuki is NOT trying to directly hit Izuku (which could kill him). He's trying to force Izuku to use his quirk and fight back, so he purposefully misses this shot.
You may have gotten the wrong impression of what's happening here if you watch the dub, because the dub has Katsuki say "He'll be fine as long as he dodges!"--which still implies in a very roundabout way that he doesn't intend to hit and kill Izuku, but it confuses the matter by making it sound like Katsuki expects Izuku to dodge rather than that Katsuki himself isn't aiming to kill.
Bkdk has actually made it so far to the normies like this comic dubber who years ago would have not touched any bkdk fanart or comics made abfull 13min long compilation of their comic dubs. I'm so proud of how far this ship has made it!
Author’s note: Just a lil drabble, haven’t really written anything in years, hope y’all enjoy :)
Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x gn!Reader
Word count: 554
TW: uh, none i’d say. I don’t think there is any, if there is feel free to let me know so I can put it up! :)
Bakugou is the type of guy who will do everything a boyfriend does but never actually say anything that would even remotely resemble a confession. “I like you” he’s sure he will never be able to speak those words out loud due to the huge lump stuck in his throat every time he tries to speak up. “Be my lover” he, in fact, wanted to ask you to be his lover this one time when he got you your favourite flowers and you two went to an amusement park and got some ice-cream but every time he opened his mouth to ask you the big question words never seem to come out of it. And that’s how he ended up in this situation.
In his mind, you two were dating. Surely, you were smart enough to have realised Bakugou only did those cheesy, romantic things with you and no one else. Aside from that, you two, in his eyes, did everything couples do. He always brought extra lunchbox with the food that he cooked for you, and he never forgot to get you your favourite drink as well. You and him had study dates every weekend, movie dates, you guys went out to get food, to go to arcades, walk, and do all the things couple do.
However, it never occurred to you that Bakugou could, in fact, have feelings for you. You thought he was being friendly and all the activities you two engaged in had no alternative motives and were strictly platonic.
Even now, you two were in the shared living room of Class A’s dormitory, sat next to one another and giggling in Bakugou’s shoulder as Kirishima was telling a funny story that happened to him recently. Everything was going smoothly until Kaminari decided to ask the question that everyone else was dying to know the answer to.
“So, y/n and Bakugou, how long have you two been dating?”
The question startled you a bit, you and Bakugou dating? No way they thought you two were together. You shifted away from Bakugou, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed. A small blush had appeared on your cheeks as you chuckled and spoke up
“We’re not datin-” “It’s been 5 mon-”
You and Bakugou spoke simultaneously, and as the answers of one another registered in your brain, both of you cut your sentence off. You gazed at Bakugou, eyes wide in pure shock as he mirrored your expression. An uncomfortable silence had taken over the whole room, suffocating the two of you. You tried to say something, anything but it seemed impossible to phrase a coherent sentence. And so you watched silently as Bakugou bit his lip in embarrassment and what seemed to be sadness in his crimson cue, unable to do anything. He waited for you to laugh and say that you were joking or that you were just messing with him, but those words never left your mouth. He had no other choice but to get up and leave the room. It was painful enough to learn that he had been living in his delusions this whole time, and on top of it all, everyone else was there to witness it too.
As he made his way to his room, he looked over his shoulder in hopes that you’d follow him shortly.
He is so baby-faced. He hasn't changed at all since he was 22, to when he died of "old age" at 40
(Old age? With a face like that? 40 years old?? Gimme that kind of youth and hotness Shinomori-)
He has tiny eyebrows. Like a puppy's (rottweiler's, for example). So cute and tiny and fuffy
He naturally frowns. Look at him and his mouth and his lil nose
He has a thing about keeping his arms near his chest. He sits with his arms crossed, introduces himself with his hands over his torso, and even walks with his arms crossed toward Midoriya
He has such clear skin for someone who lived the rest of his life in a forest??? Why do Hikage and Yoichi have such nice skin despite living in terrible environments? (forest and vault + abandoned streets respectively)
Is easily scared
They knew their Quirks could be used, but Shinomori got scared of it when it happened. Even though he gave Midoriya his support and access to his Quirk beforehand. Depending on the translation; "it startled me", "you scared me", "it surprised me"
I'm not going to hold running from AFO against him because he knew he was running for his life. Who wouldn't run for their life when it's in danger? Shinomori was being chased by the strongest person in the country (and likely the world)
His sense of self-preservation is probably heightened by the nature of his Quirk to keep him out of danger too. Which makes him all the more sensitive and jumpy to danger and anything that startles him, especially when he has no warning
He's actually extremely tall, but is so socially inept and jumpy it's adorable. He's taller than Bruce.
Bruce is as tall as a vault door that the 2m AFO used.
(Meanwhile Kudo is down there-)
He has such a bad sense of humor that it's cute (his puns off Danger Sense)
It's also adorable how Shinomori just doesn't understand social conventions sometimes. He lived in a forest, so it made sense, but also— Midoriya shows up in the void to the vestige platform for the first time. He has no mouth, no clothes—and Shinomori's first idea is to stand in front of him menacingly and go: "I shall explain. I am Shinomori Hikage." SIRRRR
This.
His Ability is basically like glorified anxiety. What if something is coming to hurt him? If something can hurt him? What if that tree falls while he's under it? And the ideas come so hard they hurt (although yes, it does detect ill intent and that's what sets it off)
He talks weirdly. Formal? Old-fashioned? Listening to him speak Japanese compared to others, it just sounds a bit different. (Translated subs don't show it very well, it's the voice itself methinks)
"This too, is destiny." *about Midoriya having OFA*
Kinda wise or sage-y. He did spend his life in solitude in the forests so he definitely spent a lot of time with his own thoughts. Maybe he found the meaning of life in a centipede or something one day
For someone so cute, he is also such. A fine. Specimen???
