#> meanwhile afo is like hold on. i gotta get in the game and kill am. this is the opportunity ever

[waloeders]

in other news. ive been thinkin how an sao au would work with tomu. he'd fit into it so easily, i mean hes gamer mcgee, he'd be in the beta yknow. i think kei could fall into it (especially if he was ordered to cuz its "suspicious") but i doubt dabs would?? hes the only one who would go "no fucking way am i gonna play a vr game lmao" but ah well.

in this au he just gets talked into it or somethin. he's stayin at a friends (ish) place temporarily who gets one n is like "lol im gonna try ur new game first!" <- guy whos just made a grave mistake

(BNHA spoilers bc I have a one track mind lmao)

I'm currently thinking of the possibility that Katsuki is revived/awake as of this point, if not quite soon, but it just hasn't been revealed yet, and Horikoshi will hold onto that card until a time of reveal is right.

Because something Hori does a lot, like he does with Nagant in this very chapter(379), is the surprise, sudden appearance/reappearance of someone, and then the next chapters a slight back-track to reveal just how that character came to be involved or re-involved.

I feel like he could do this with Katsuki's revival as well.

for one thing, the narrative has been revolving around Izuku v Tomura for a while now(and other things) so we have not visited with what's going on with Katsuki's revival. Our attention has been diverted. So that gives Hori a chance or flexibility to say "he woke up but it took a few moments to get him back in the game" and flexibility to say when precisely Katsuki came back to life.

Obvs he's really injured so if he is even able to return to fight at all, he's gonna have to have a moment where he just breathes and gets his bearings, talks to Mirio or BJ, and thinks about or even observes Izuku. Then reflects, and then decides what he has to do, or where he has to help.

Once he's collected himself though, once he physically comes back to a more stable point...I imagine he would fight to get to Izuku. Why would he not, if he was cognizant enough?

And now that Izuku and Tomura are away from the UA fortress, there's gonna be more of a chance for Horikoshi to build up a surprise or formulate an interesting transition for Katsuki to re-enter the narrative, because once again, cause its important; our attention is diverted.

He's keeping the "camera" off of Katsuki until the right time.

Also...All for One is still on the way, right? And he's likely about to be very desperate and ANGRY about his hold on his supposed new body, Tomura, breaking free of him; meanwhile he's on a rewind track and his physical body is eventually going to rewind to nothing?? So he will be formidable and likely wrathful, because he needs to regain control before he becomes Toddler, Baby and Zygote AFO XD

So I am pretty sure Tomura will eventually give AFO the final blow, but I wonder if AFO will pull some sort of attack on Izuku, and that's where Katsuki comes in the clutch to help Izuku AND to get a rematch with AFO? Or if he'd take Katsuki captive or something and threaten to kill him again? (gotta say I'd rather root for Katsuki coming in rather than him being Damseled again, at this point in the story? because I want KAtsuki to have that moment where he is victorious, and where "fans and antis of him will both appreciate")

Anyway, just some mostly Katsuki-centric thoughts I currently have, as of 379.
