Thelreads, MHA 277, Replies Part 2

1) “Oh boy I have a feeling that this is not going according to AfO’s plans

he was not expecting Shigaraki to reject him like that

probably because he didn’t considered the possibility that Shigaraki would want to be better than him. He is not looking forward to living in the shadow of your glory, he wants to be the shadow to cast darkness upon the world”-We’ve said before that AFO is a markedly better mentor than the inexperienced All Might. Ironically, here, that same trait is precisely why Tomura starts turning against him – he taught him too well on how to surpass him, and now Tomura’s not backing down from his goal of becoming better than his old master, even at said master’s expense.

2) “Oh that you will Shigaraki

Time to break the chains and show that The End does not cower under the words of any Lord of Evil.”-

The reader: so…are we rooting for Tomura here?

Horikoshi: let’s be honest, we’re rooting against AFO.

3) “Yeah but I fear this one might be way harder to deal with. All Might was like a fighter made out of biceps, but Shigaraki here is not that far below it, and not to say, he has no problem actually killing you”- Tomura has no limits, no restraints and no way to hold him down. Pure unadulterated freedom to do whatever he wants, and what he really wants is to kill you all violently.

4) “OH HE SAID THE THING

THERE WE GO

NOW ROLL CREDITS”- Ok, but this is a really sad moment though. It implies that Kotaro cut off all connection to his mother for ‘abandoning’ him so much, he never even told his son his Grandmother’s name. Tomura’s not one to care about the past like others, but the fact he’s got no idea why Gran Torino is so upset with him is sad in itself.

5) “Oh don’t worry Gran torino, he intends to hurt him way more than that…

But honestly, that’s a bit harsh, this monster in front of you is not Tenko’s fault, it is AfO’s. He’s the one to blame, not the kid Shigaraki used to be.”- Calling him a ‘monster’ is perhaps the only way that Gran Torino and All Might could ever fight him, thinking of him as a ‘thing’ that has to be put down rather than a victim of their close friend/mentor that they failed to protect/save. Hesitancy will cost lives in this fight, theirs and so many others, so they’ve gotta do what they have to to end it all.

6) “OOOHHHHH

HELL YEAH, NOW THAT WAS A GOOD MOVE

BAKUGO USED HIS SECRET MOVE: STEALTH BOMBER, IT IS SUPER EFFECTIVE”-The problem with overlooking Bakugou is that he won’t take that lying down, and will make you hurt for it.

7) “OH GOD WHAT IS IT NOW

IS IT MACHIA? THE FACT HE’S ALMOST HERE?”- Thankfully he’s still a ways off, but he sure as hell is trying to get there quickly.

8) “HOLY SHIT DUDE

MT LADY IS ACTUALLY HOLDING HIM BACK ALL ON HER OWN

OH MY GOD”-

I think he’s still overpowering her with sheer force, but she’s slowing him down greatly, acting like a massive lead weight that’s hampering his inevitable progress down to a manageable speed.

(MHA ch 260)

9) “Alright, by this page alone I already think I know how we`ll start. So…”- 80 Kilometers apart. Point A to Point B. If the heroes can’t stop him, Machia is going to bulldoze that entire length of countryside straight between him and Tomura, no matter what stands between him, being it trees, mountains, or whatever cities and infrastructure happens to be in the path of this living disaster.

10) “And the main fight is still going as bad as expected, but they are at least managing to pound Shigaraki with a few good hits, even if overall damage is negligible at best. I think that the only reason they aren’t being crushed is that he’s still not entirely there, so to say.

But lord, if AfO actually manage to snap him out of the driver seat and take over that body- oh things are not gonna be good. Shigaraki has enthusiasm and willpower, but AfO has centuries of fighting and quirk experience, he will know how to use that body to its full potential, we cannot allow him to take over

which means, of course, that soon he’ll be pulling the strings on that doll”- Ironically, and tragically, the heroes being unaware of the details behind Tomura’s head means that they’re accidently helping AFO with his takeover, grinding down Tomura externally whilst his master fights him from within, making him steadily lose a battle on two fronts, all whilst under the belief that their attacks will help save lives in the end.

Imagine how annoyed Nighteye would have been if Izuku hadn't applied to his agency? Like he just goes to fill in the application, 'hmm, suddenly vibes are shit no,' and then applies to like, be Nedzu's apprentice instead.

Midoriya: "These are some rancid vibes. Absolutely horrid."

Nighteye, storming Nedzu's Office: "Not only do you steal Togata's rightful Quirk, you deny me mentorship?!" Nedzu: (: Nighteye: "Don't you have anything to say, Principal?" Nedzu: "Oh heavens no. The longer you talk the more time I have to come up with ideas." Midoriya: (:

Narrator: "Nighteye was never seen or heard from again."

Oh yeah, Sir "Control Freak" Nighteye would be absolutely furious. I'm trying to remember if he explicitly told Togata to extend an offer on his behalf to Midoriya for the Work Studies. Come on, Nighteye, how are you legitimately creepier to me than AFO

Aizawa for the time travel fix ask game?

I'm sure you meant this seriously but I had a really funny crack idea with Aizawa so we're doing that

Aizawa comes up with a plan to ensure that everything will work out. It is a brilliant plan with no flaws. He expels all of Class 1-A during the Quirk Apprehension Test

Naturally, the class immediately pack bonds into a found family speedrun out of sheer united rage

The class becomes a 20-person vigilante organization specifically to spite Aizawa, with All Might's less-than-secret-but-still-deniable backing

Every major Villain is incarcerated within five weeks.

Nedzu reminds Aizawa that he could've just asked him for help

You know, why WAS Tensei attacked by Stain anyways, now that I think about it?

That's a wonderful question that canon has never in fact answered. It is one of the primary points in my 153-slide powerpoint titled "Why Stain Is A Clown and If You Like Him, So Are You'

I think the closest it's come to answering is Stain canonically has a habit of attacking people to see how they react when they believe they are going to die, and I really shouldn't have to explain everything wrong with that

I Think I Know Why I Dislike Bakugou's Writing

Yes I know I just did the AFO/Asano Meta, but I feel like I need to do this too

To clarify: this is not me bashing on Bakugou. I want to like Bakugou. If you like Bakugou, you aren't wrong. You just deserve better for him.

Let's begin.

For at least a week now, I have had a picture open in a tab on my browser. This picture is something that I was beginning to think was made up by an Ao3 author because I had only ever seen one mention of it. And now that I've found it for myself, I found myself holding on to it and trying to figure out how to feel about it.

But now that's led to me finally having a way to verbalize the issues I have with how Bakugou has been written throughout the series.

On paper, Bakugou has one of the most interesting character arcs in manga. He goes from being a self-absorbed asshole with a superiority-inferiority complex who only wants to be a Hero because they win fights to the genuinely Hero Midoriya believes he can be.

In practice... well.

Let's play a game really quickly. I'll describe a scene from My Hero Academia, and I want you to guess what chapter it is. It doesn't have to be exact, just a general idea. Here's the scenario:

Midoriya manages to use a Quirk that's destructive to him without seriously hurting himself, and is proud of this accomplishment. In response, Bakugou gets incensed and physically attacks him.

Thought about it? Got an idea? Keep that in mind for later.

So here is my issue with Bakugou: there are two Bakugous. I know that sounds weird but let me explain what I mean. I'll call them Interim Bakugou and Dramatic Bakugou.

Dramatic Bakugou saw his classmates at the Battle Trial and realized that he wasn't the Big Man on Campus. He was furious with Todoroki for not using his fire at the Sports Festival, and infuriated by his internship with Best Jeanist. Dramatic Bakugou was kidnapped by the League because he's an asshole. He blames himself for All Might retiring, and he failed the Provisional License Exam because he's a asshole. Dramatic Bakugou told a kid that he needed to acknowledge his own weakness, took a hit for Midoriya in the War Arc, and apologized to him.

Dramatic Bakugou is improving as a person and a Hero.

Dramatic Bakugou also barely appears in the manga.

We are instead left with Interim Bakugou, the Bakugou who exists in the interim between dramatic moments. Interim Bakugou has not changed from his first appearance on the first page of Chapter 1, when he was five, beating the shit out of Midoriya.

Interim Bakugou tried to attack Midoriya on Day 1, and tried to kill him on Day 2. Interim Bakugou listened in on a private conversation about how Endeavor's obsessions broke him and learned nothing. Interim Bakugou told the League of Villains that he wouldn't join them because he likes how Heroes look when they win. Interim Bakugou told the Help Us Company actors to fuck off. Interim Bakugou dragged Midoriya out to Ground Beta to beat the shit out of him because he was butthurt about his exam and making it all about him. Interim Bakugou won the Joint Training Battle because he wanted to be the Undisputed Best. Interim Bakugou never calls people by their real names.

Interim Bakugou called himself Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. Interim Bakugou told the class that Deku is fucked in the head and doesn't care about what happens to himself, while ignoring that he called Midoriya 'Useless' so often Midoriya responds to it like his own name. Interim Bakugou uses Deku right up to the moment that Dramatic Bakugou apologized for inventing it in the first place.

Interim Bakugou never changes, no mater how much Dramatic Bakugou tries.

Here, let me prove it. You remember that game I had you play a few paragraphs ago, yes? What chapter did you say? Chapter 7, during the Quirk Apprehension Test?

Well, I have to admit that I lied a little. That picture I've had on my browser for the past week or so? It's actually a screencap of the manga.

This is from Chapter 253, after Midoriya shows his progress with Blackwhip.

This is five chapters away from the start of the War Arc.

This is 69 chapters before he apologizes, most of which aren't focused on him at all.

This is within the Final Saga, as Horikoshi puts it.

And Interim Bakugou is indistinguishable from Orientation Day eleven months ago

I will freely admit that this is clearly meant to be a joke, and that he did not hurt Midoriya as severely as the class is acting, but the behavior is still there. It hasn't changed a bit. Interim Bakugou hasn't changed a bit.

Dramatic Bakugou, in a flashback, confessed to All Might that he used to bully Midoriya.

Interim Bakugou still does.

This is why I don't like how Horikoshi writes Bakugou. I want to like Dramatic Bakugou and follow his journey, but for every step forward he takes, Interim Bakugou takes two steps back. All of his apologies feel hollow because Interim Bakugou is demonstrably the same.

My #1 post of 2022

AU where everything is practically the same but Izuku is visibly more feral. IE: he bit All Might instead of grabbing his leg and Toshi, upon remembering doing the same thing to Nana, decides to make him his successor (adopt him) on the spot.

Midoriya just fucking snaps one day because if you bully someone nonstop for ten years you either break them or get them to stop caring and bad news for Aldera they got the other coin flip this time.

You do not Fuck with Feral Midoriya. He has bitten most of his classmates by this point. He hisses like a cat. He casually starts discussing what it would take to render someone's Quirk permanently useless, like how someone could paralyze Bakugou's hands or scar them over until he couldn't make any explosions without breaking himself.

All Might gets nostalgic when Midoriya is gnawing on his leg to keep him from leaving.

During the entrance exam, Present Mic had to start the test a few seconds early because when Iida went to stop Midoriya from talking to Uraraka, Midoriya fucking picked Iida up and was getting ready to throw him like a javelin, and that announcement is the only thing that saved him. Midoriya did however carry him into the exam before he remembered to put him down.

When Midoriya uses his Quirk at the QAT, Bakugou assumes that Midoriya manifested it through sheer Feral energy and chooses life. Aizawa on the other hand tries an expulsion scare and he can taste how mad Midoriya is about it

Thelreads, MHA 277, Replies Part 1

1) “Oh right, BNHA. Last time midoriya and his sidekick king of explosionmurder jumped in the fray because they are shonen characters and thus have no sense of self-preservation nor love for their lives. So, let’s jump in, on Chapter 277: Who…?

The Doctor?”- Well, there’s only one doctor nearby, but he’s an asshole, so fuck him. That said, the kids will certainly be needing a doctor after this…

2) “Oh yeah, must be nice meeting each other after so long, right? So good for best friends to meet again… (: “- As intense as this clash is, AFO’s mental coaching and interference means that this still isn’t them truly facing each other as enemies – they’re fighting because both belong to opposite sides of an ongoing war, but the personal animosity that should exist between arch-foes like it did with All Might and AFO just isn’t really there, and can’t be as long as Tomura is targeting Izuku under AFO’s orders…though at least he seems to be trying to break free of his puppet strings of his own free will…

3) “Like said a few moments ago: No sense of self-preservation. Let’s see how many bones are obliterated tonight.”-Spoiler: more than Izuku will be able to afford.

4) “Actually the worst case is you fucking dying, but I’ll let it slide because if Aizawa goes everyone else will soon follow suit, so, same thing.”- Aizawa has been relegated to that anime position of the holy maiden whose presence is the only thing holding back the end of the world through constant prayer or something.

5)“Don’t you know he has two kids and a husband to go back to? He can’t die here, he’s so close to retiring, this is his last job before he’s done with it, etc etc tempt fate as much as you like, because I’m already not so sure Aizawa will live to see the fall of The End”- Aizawa’s super-determined to see the kids all live, which means he’ll put himself in danger as best he can to protect them. Tomura is super-determined to kill everything, which he can’t do as long as Aizawa’s around, and doesn’t give a flying fuck about whatever kind of damage is able to be inflicted upon him so long as he succeed in that goal. It’s not a good combination.

6) “Alright Bakugo, I agree wholeheartedly, but question: Why are you involved then?”- Bakugou is Izuku’s support and current common sense holder, and his massive powerful explosions are also good for blinding Tomura, or briefly pushing him backwards from a mid-distance without getting close to him, which is still risky even with decay shut off.

7) “ Okay, even with his regeneration off he still isn’t worse for ear after that, and I doubt Bakugo held back on his shots

christ, this will definitely be a nightmare to fight against…”-The regeneration was already a cheat skill, but they went ahead and tried to make him damn near invulnerable on top of that. Thankfully, he can be damaged gradually, but a serious blow will be really hard to inflict unless Izuku goes 100% on him.

8) “Oh wow, what a burn that was when you stop to think about it

but unfortunately I can’t stop to think about it because Midoriya trying to rope Shigaraki just to be yoink’d like it was nothing was hilarious for some reason

oh my god kid”- Tomura’s long moved part the point where he was trying to unsuccessfully convince bakugou to be a villain. Now he’ll just do it himself. And that casual power difference is a great way to display that as much as Izuku is trying to combat him efficiently with his current “max” output, Tomura’s disregard of his own wellbeing has allowed him to reach greater levels of strength much quicker, to the point of casually dragging Izuku along almost without meaning to. Izuku can match him, but not with a safe level of %...

9) “So close to what Shigaraki? To the next yeet? Because certainly it isn’t to kill them, that much is still considerably away from coming to fruition.”- So close to destroying everything, or perhaps close to getting a hang on his new power’s capabilities and how best to fight with his new enhanced Strength. Or perhaps, it wasn’t actually Tomura saying it at that point, but AFO…

10) “Oh yeah Midoriya, unfortunately you haven’t witnessed the bullshit that he pulled so far, but trust them, it was the exact kind of absurdness that your dad would do on his prime.”- AFO wanted the Symbol of Fear to Be All Might’s Opposite and equal in every measure possible, and he spared no expense at achieving that goal.

11) “Yeah Aizawa but unfortunately there’s a shit-ton of super killing bio weapons running amok, I think that not blinking is gonna be a considerably tall order.”- That’s a problem for when they catch up to them. For now, they’ve gotta deal with the major super-killing bio weapon targeting them all directly.

12) “ …

Ooooookay… I’m starting to think that things are about to turn a little weird…

So, since we have a vestige of AfO inside of Shigaraki, the same way that we have them in OfA, can we assume that he can exert enough influence to take over Shigaraki?

Because I reaaaaally think that we’re gonna go down that path soon

We might not even need to get AfO out of tartarus, in a way, he’s already out”-As his mind starts to crack from the mental struggle within, so too does his body begin to break as a reflection of the strain it’s putting on him. We saw beforehand in facing shinso that the vestiges could exert physical control over Izuku’’s body when he himself couldn’t, but because they’re kind, upstanding heroic individuals, they refused to do so more than was necessary that one time. AFO is none of those things.

In a fitting bastardisation of the Manga’s themes of “Inherited Will” being passed from one generation to the next, teacher to student, when he took on the role of a mentor himself to have Tomura serve his plans, he literally had him inherit his will, and now that will of AFO’s ambitions is running around in a body free of the crippling injuries All Might left on his original….

13) “I have a feeling he is not aiming at just being a whisper and a sigh on the back of your mind

I have a feeling we won’t be seeing you anymore soon enough Shigaraki”- That will depend upon if the will of the next generation is storng enough to overcome the old one. Symbol of Fear vs Symbol of Evil, only one may sit upon the throne. We’ve seen how stubbornly determined Tomura can be before in facing the MLA, and that same willpower is now being tested on a battle on two fronts, mental and physical.

so this question is kinda out of the blue but i simple couldn't stop wondering about it. what exactly was shigaraki telling bakugou when they met at jakku? the english translation is rather dismissive but i vaguely remember that one fan translator said that there was some at leasts nuance with the way tomura adressed him compared to the rest. it would be really cool to read your take on it (only if you are up to it, of course). thank you for your input. really enjoy reading your meta posts.

I think you must be talking about this weird-ass moment from chapter 277.

ごめんもう君に興味ないんだわ

gomen mou kimi ni kyoumi nainda wa

“Sorry” "[But] I’m not interested in you anymore.”

The content of the message is fairly dismissive in Japanese as well, but there is a little bit of linguistic nuance we could discuss and run with, so why not? Let’s do it.

The easy part to translate is “mou kimi ni kyoumi nainda,” literally meaning “[Because I’m] not interested in you anymore.” The “[I’m]” is implied, and the “-nda” at the end just means that the phrase is an explanation (hence why I added “[But/Because]” to the beginning of my translation of the sentence). Basically, the reason Tomura is “sorry” is because he’s no longer interested in Katsuki, so that’s what he’s spelling out.

The interesting bits are the following word choices: gomen, kimi, and wa.

Gomen - “Sorry,” but in a casual, familiar way

Kimi - “You,” but with a connotation of familiarity or condescension

Wa - A sentence-ending particle that, when used by men in casual speech, softens/adds politeness to a message that might otherwise sound like it should be taken as offensive because of the content

So what’s funny about these word choices is how much of a disconnect there could be between what Tomura means by them versus how Katsuki might take them.

Tomura usually refers to the heroes with slightly ruder language, such as using the omae form of “you.” However, he has called Katsuki “kimi” ever since kidnapping him back in the Kamino Ward arc.

Both kimi and omae imply some level of intimacy/familiarity between the speaker and subject, but if that familiarity does not actually exist between the two people, the meaning for both becomes rude. The subject could take offense to the use of either term, even if the speaker just mistakenly believes the familiarity is there when it actually is not. The ways in which they sound rude will differ though: omae will sound rude and disrespectful like a vulgarity, but kimi will sound condescending. Kimi implies some sort of hierarchical relationship where the subject is the junior (like kouhai) and the speaker is the senior (like senpai). At its most extreme, it will sound like the speaker finds the subject quaint and nonthreatening (like a child).

Put all the pieces together, and we’ve got Tomura speaking to Katsuki in a manner that has two potential tones:

Tomura might still believe he and Katsuki could come to an understanding like how he mentioned in Kamino when he tried to convince Katsuki to join his side (with Tomura as the leader aka the senior in the hierarchy), and so he is making an effort to show that he means no offense to Katsuki with his words, or;

Tomura might just be laying on the condescension hard by implying Katsuki is so weak and insignificant that Tomura doesn’t even consider him a threat, that Katsuki’s not even on the level of the other heroes present

And we all know no matter which tone Tomura is actually going for, Katsuki is gonna take it as #2 every. damn. time.
