the way that when all might comes into midoriya’s life he also comes into bakugou’s. the way that you can’t seperate any of their dynamics from each other. the way that all three of these charaters are thematically linked with each other. 
the way that ‘you’re next’ is also directed at bakugou as well as midoriya at kamino. the way that its only the two of them who understand what it truly means. the way that all might’s hero career ends not with saving to win, but winning to save.
the way that in the aftermath of deku vs kacchan part 2 all might tells midoriya and bakugou to reconcile their ideals of heroism with each others. the way that all might tells them that once they accept and learn from each other, they’ll both be able to become the greatest heroes.
the way that ‘this is the story of how we all became the greatest heroes’, the way that ‘it’s fine if it’s you’, the way that ‘you’re my image of victory’, the way that ‘when my desire to win outweighs my desire to save, i start acting like you do’. the way that ‘stop trying... to win this on your own’
the way that deku’s scars are from winning and dynamight’s scars are from saving.
the way that during the ‘rouge deku’ arc midoriya has his hood up and face mask on, the way that bakugou isn’t wearing his face mask and headgear.
the way that ‘in that moment, my body moved on it’s own’, in two seperate instances, two-hundred and eighty four chapters apart.
the way that midoriya took on the legacy of one for all, but he AND bakugou are equally both all might’s successors. the way that by upholding the ideals of hope and victory respectively, they create that symbol of piece that all might shouldered by himself for decades.
the way that bakugou and midoriya wouldn’t be the heroes tha they are without all might, and not without each other either.
