#and i thought '?? no there's no way? it's dadmight and third right?

[pocketramblr]

Many people claim second is either time traveling Bakugou or like fore father or smth because... Well look at him. Whats your take on it?

The worst thing about Tumblr is that the search blog function is so non existent that I can't even be sure you didn't try to see my opinion about this before asking, so I can't even blame you, but... Well:

This was my reaction to people continuing to suggest Bakugo was Second after we learned Yoichi's name

This was my reaction to a "reincarnated second" Bakugo ask

This was me making fun of the time travel theory by explaining that Ponytail Uraraka could actually be Third

And this was a post where I mentioned that I'm basically neutral on Bakugo as a whole because I really like some of his arc and his interactions, especially the remedial course arc, but that I really don't like him involved with the OfA plot line and feel it detracts from both he and Izuku

Ok. Let's go deeper then, and hopefully make this the last post I have to make on this subject.

tldr of the read more: I don't like Second as Bakugo and I actually think that the chances of Second as Bakugo's ancestor went down after the events of this week's chapter

So, I did see a lot of bak-u-go and I finally put my finger on why I hated it so much, (BESIDES the fact that I just do not think Horikoshi has done the set up for time travel in general or Bakugo in particular. Look, izuku should have told us already if Second was Bakugo. It just doesn't make sense for him to be, functionally) and instead of posting it on tumblr and dealing with people actually, like, seeing and reacting to it I just told two friends why I didn't like it thematically in a group chat. The text of my message is pasted bellow:

"So, like, even if Bakugo grows up and yeets back in time and somehow izuku doesn't recognize him with a little face scar which seems VERY UNLIKELY to me EVEN IF, then it COMPELETELY makes First's supposition pointless

the thing WASNT "second extended a hand to someone connected to and hurt by afo and freed first even tho he was nemisis, which is why izuku should extend a hand to tomura"

INSTEAD it was "Baku2 extended a hand to first because he ALREADY KNEW afo's brother was a hero and it would help all might and co and there was ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH, NO GOODWILL, NO OPTIMISTIC COMPASSION involved because baku2 KNEW what would happen and wasn't even really making a CHOICE so much as following the plan"

ahem. anyway thematically it is bad As Well as being functionally bad

is,,, bad theory,,,, i have nine very good Seconds, why would i want no Second and just dealing with bakugo more,,,

So yeah, that's my take on Baku2- it replaces the potential actual character of Second (who is someone I love exploring in many different ways) with a character we already have. And I don't hate the character, but when I'm thinking about OfA Stuff? I don't want him there! I just can't bring myself to care about Bakugo as Second. If I want to have fun with Bakugo, and I sometimes do, I have him go train and develope menteeship with Nejire. I give him some Dadzawa. I have him develop friendships and better himself with the remedial team. Getting rid of a character I like to cast Bakugo in Second's place? The least fun thing I can think of! I just don't want to do it. Have fun, write it yourself, and tag it properly so that I don't have to see it.

Ok. You also mentioned Bakugo as Second's descendent. Honestly, it's possible, but I think it's less likely now. Second has spikey hair but it looks just as much like Dabi's as it does Bakugo's. It's just how Hori draws spikey hair. They don't even have the same style, since Second has an undercut and his hair is shaded darker than Bakugo's. I also don't think that Second is going to have an explosive quirk, because Third just got one! Third's Fa Jin quirk "builds up kinetic energy and use that energy to release an explosive burst of power."

What would be the point of Izuku getting an explosion quirk from Second? It wouldn't make sense with the actual quirk lineage Bakugo has from his parents if they were trying to go that route, and frankly it's just like the Baku2 Problem: I already know how Explosion works! It's not interesting to me! I don't want to miss out on a new fun quirk just to see one I already know again.

I want Second to have a mental quirk, that's my first pick. A lighting quirk would be fine too since I really wanted Sixth to have one but then he got a stealth one so I guess I don't need Second to have a stealth quirk anymore. *Glances at Vaneer.*

Anyway so maybe Third with spikey hair that actually matches Bakugo's color is his ancestor. Maybe Second is. They both have the build of their costumes in a way that reminds of Bakugo's summer and winter hero costumes. Maybe neither of them are. I don't really care that much, because... I don't think Second likes Bakugo. I don't think he liked him at the start, and I don't think he likes him now. I'll quote a friend who actually brought this topic up before I could, and whom I agree with:

Friend: Someone asked me "Okay but what about Second being Bakugou's ancestor?" So, I had to refrain from answering "Well, if you want, but Second would probably be disgusted by Bakugou. He is a guy who sacrificed everything so some asshole with a strong quirk wouldn't do whatever he wants. What do you think he would think of Bakugou?"

Me: you're stronger than me i would have answered that and then gotten a dozen angry messages back like 'uhhhh but but hes CHANGED now if second can 'forgive' a toothpick of a man who never actually did anything to hurt him and was only considered a target because of a relative, aka bc of his genetics, then surely he'd forgive bakugo for uh activlely harming izuku bc of his genetics and openly mocking the past holder's pain, fight, and strength in a meeting he acted too good for!'

So I don't think Second would like Bakugo for those reasons, but also another one- he's naïve. Second didn't like Izuku trying to "save to win" Shigaraki, he thought it was foolish. I don't think he'd like Bakugo's "fight to win" focus either, because to him it wasn't "fight to win." It was "fight to survive" and I don't think that for a single moment he thought he'd 'win' because he was 'a hero' and 'heroes always win and villains always lose and that's why I want to be a hero.' there's a reason he didn't want Bakugo to keep OfA either, and it wasn't just because of a very circumstantial theory some vestiges have based off a sample size of two with absolutely no way to check other variables said that maybe it would kill a holder if they had another quirk.

Has Bakugo grown since those views? Sure. Do I think he's still naïve? Yeah. Do I think Second would see that growth of his, or even care? No. I don't.

I don't think Second hates Bakugo. I just don't think he likes him either. His opinion, I think, probably is similar to my own: "he's a kid who can really grow and be great... And I just don't want him anywhere near OfA buisness."

Kris, how are you doing? I've been busy sorry :")

Tea again lol 🍵 ? At this point we're tea buddies. I tried jasmine tea for the first time, it was so nice!

I also really like the visual prompts microfics! I was thinking about something like when you randomly wake up in the middle of the night and the person with you wakes up with worry

Hope you're doing great :)

- new friend anon

Hello, new friend anon! No apology needed - life gets busy and friendship is always appreciated, no matter the space in time :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the jasmine tea! And I very much appreciate that you tried it, whether or not you had liked it. We are definitely tea buddies, but I am, of course, open to connecting over other things, too <3

As for your visual prompt suggestion, you're after my heart with this one. Dadmight sleepy cuddles is one of my favorite tropes. I don't know how much I managed to get visuals out, but an attempt was made! I'm thinking of this as sometime after whatever Nighteye's vision was for All Might comes to pass. A bit angsty, I suppose.

Reaching Out

Izuku can't tell if he's awake again or if he never fell asleep after waking up an hour and a half ago. Every night for the past two weeks has been like this.

It improved slightly after All Might got out of the hospital, and then even more once Izuku started staying with him overnight. Izuku tried to protest at first, insisting he didn't need to be babied, convinced All Might would sleep better on his own without Izuku in the way. But after All Might found Izuku wandering awake in the dorm common room for the third night in a row, All Might asked Izuku to at least try to stay with him. Izuku fell asleep in five minutes flat that night and didn't have an argument against it ever since.

Still, just because he sleeps better when he's with All Might doesn't mean he sleeps well. This night, Izuku finds himself tangled in half of the massive gray sheets on All Might's bed, a cold sweat covering his skin and making his bangs stick to his forehead. He lets his limbs spread out everywhere as he watches the overhead fan spin and whir, mocking him with its alertness.

With a heavy sigh, Izuku sits up, staring at nothing ahead of him as the nightmare of that fateful moment comes back to him. He knows he doesn't need to linger on it. He knows it's over and All Might is right beside him. But for a second - the longest second of Izuku's life - he didn't know that. He didn't know if he'd ever see All Might again.

Before he can let his thoughts go much further, before he kicks the sheets off of him furiously to get up and get a drink of water as he's done for the past few nights, Izuku feels a large and familiar hand come to his forearm. Izuku turns to see All Might reaching out to him.

Izuku can see the concern in All Might's eyes, too. His blue irises glow in the pale moonlight, and he briefly looks as sunken and hollow as he did when...

All Might seems to know where Izuku's thoughts are going. (It's no surprise considering they won't stop going there.) He gives Izuku's arm a gentle tug, and Izuku obliges. He turns to his side so that he can bury himself in All Might's chest and tuck his head under the man's chin.

As Izuku settles himself, All Might adjusts the blanket and sheets on top of them so they rest properly, then smooths Izuku's hair back until it's not sticking to his forehead. With a deep sigh, he brings his hand to the back of Izuku's head and starts to scratch it in the way Izuku likes, the way that sends him to sleep almost every time. The scratches are slow and deep, and it's the kind of comfort that Izuku could never get from anyone else.

Part of Izuku in his fatigued state wants to apologize again for needing this. He wants to be better and be able to stand on his own. But as he thinks that, All Might pulls him closer and squeezes him tighter, as if he's silently telling his thoughts to stop. So, Izuku does the best he can to simply stop them. The fan still whirs and the moonlight still shines and All Might's still breathing, so Izuku's thoughts don't need to keep going. For now, at least.

It's not the last time Izuku wakes up in the middle of the night. It's not the last time he needs to know All Might is still here. But it is the last time that night, at least, and it's a step.

BnHA 315 — Comparisons, parallels, and observations

I feel like this is the AFO Rising chapter (maybe even arc). I previously speculated that AFO “engineered” the Nagant encounter to torture Deku psychologically by forcing him to see the dark side of hero society. There was no way for Deku to “win” the battle — he is either captured or disheartened (in addition to isolated and injured). But I was NOT expecting AFO to explode Nagant in such spectacular fashion right after she takes Deku’s hand! Given the size of the boom, I’m surprised any part of her survived. Since AFO popped up at the end of this chapter like an evil deus ex machina, let’s talk AFO for a bit…..

When AFO was first introduced, we knew he was manipulative and would use his power to garner respect and loyalty. (We’ve also seen how AFO manipulates Shigaraki towards destruction without AFO having to get his hands dirty.) This transactional quid pro quo is the “transparency” of AFO that Nagant mentioned, but boy was she wrong (more on that in a bit).

Similarly, Yoichi/First and All Might reference AFO “breaking” people and tossing them aside. But we haven’t seen AFO use direct methods of control over his followers, and other than OFA users and the Second’s rebellion, we haven’t really seen what AFO does to followers who don’t behave according to his order.

We didn’t realize that Third was speaking literally a few chapters back. As in, AFO doesn’t just use manipulation — he uses invasion and remote control, and he does it for pawns and his masterpiece (Shigaraki) alike. Those under his control — including Nagant — have no idea AFO is a parasite inside their bodies. This is the exact opposite of a “transparent” quid pro quo system.

And if AFO has remote control of others, what about OFA? I’ve heard the OFA horcrux theories, but we also know OFA doesn’t behave how AFO wants it to. In addition, we know this from when All Might talks to AFO in Tartarus, so there might be more to be revealed:

After this chapter, it seems AFO is very much afraid of the human heart/soul and our capacity to grow, change, and heal. He’s generally dismissive of hope, spirit, etc., calling that fantasy rather than reality. But I think it’s a bluff because he knows those are what can defeat him. Learning and growing isn’t fickle; it’s POWERFUL. That’s why he explodes Nagant after Deku says she has the “soul of a hero” and she takes his hand. That’s why saving the villains will really matter and be essential for the endgame.

I think Endeavor and Hawks are right that AFO has no soul and is no longer “human.”

Nagant says she learned everything from the HPSC, but she’s using AFO’s playbook. Using Overhaul like a pawn? Threatening his life to prevent a hero from fighting at full power? Total AFO moves. Also, interesting that she mentions fate, and we know Izuku previously “twisted fate” with respect to Overhaul (as All Might recalled a few chapters back). Hopefully Overhaul will be more useful to Nagant as a healer than a target — I’m not a Nagant stan but I do want a female character to survive an injury like All Might, Endeavor, Best Jeanist, Bakugo, Gran Torino, Hawks, Aizawa, Dabi, Re-destro, etc. I think Mirko is the only female to add to that list.

Finally, I thought Nagant’s dreamy “what a guy” was a little odd (it’s the last full sentence she says). It’s quite the contrast to her opening calling him “boy in green”. So, does Deku proving he’s a true hero suddenly make him manly? We know Kirishima would think so (I miss him!!) but it’s weird coming from an adult. Like she swoons because he broke her arm but also healed her soul? And she’s not turned off by his insistence on “bringing back” the light in hero society (that she doesn’t think was ever there)?? I guess it doesn’t matter because AFO wins anyway by traumatizing Deku.

Here’s hoping for some Dadmight to comfort Deku in the next chapter, or to discuss the HPSC/dark side of hero-ing, or to show off what’s in the briefcase….

BNHA AU Ideas : Happy Famlies

Also on AO3!

TL;DR: This AU is exactly what is sounds like. Everyone gets a happy family. 

Feat. Dadmight, and his sons Izuku and Tenko, Big Bro Dabi with his little bro, Shinson and his Dadzawa.

allmight n inko end up dating and tenko n izu are brothers

dabi and tenko are third year ua herocourse students when izu and the others join

tenko is a soft sunshine boy cause izu rubbed off on him a lot

dabi wants to be an underground hero so he'll never be like his father

todoroki takes the entrance exam so inasa and hitoshi are recommendation students

izuku kills the exam because he starts ua being able to use full cowl 5%, breaking allmights record with a whopping 130 points

because consider dabi, shouto, izu, tenko and hitoshi all singing karaoke together, dabi has a tambourine and tenko is violently shaking maracas

izuku and inko dont know toshi is allmight, but tenko and toshi are terrible liars

the first time toshi meets izuku its just tenko presenting him saying "you gotta give it to him dad"

izu is only 5 n still broken up about having no quirk, toshi says he might just be a late bloomer while tenko nods

toshi sneaks izuku his quirk when he turns 7, izuku wakes up n accidentally punches a hole in the ceiling, he n katsuki make up cause izuku has a bomb ass quirk even if it does break his bones

he and inko just think he was a late bloomer cause his quirk was so strong. tenko and toshi highfive

seven year old izuku walking back into his house like mom i broke both my arms again :(((

katsuki actually helps him work out the flick thing

"it breaks my arms!" "then use less you dumb fuck!" "oh yeah actually thank you"

they’re so used to shouting criticisms while sparring that they still do it after they enter ua

when they spar at the sports festival mic can’t get a word of commentary in bc it’s just a constant slew of

“kACCHAN I TOLD U TO STOP LEADING WITH UR RIGHT”

“SHIITY DEKU IF U LAND LIKE THAT UR GONNA BREAK UR LEGS”

dabi n tenko the third years can hear them in their own stadium. tenko is cheering softly, dabi has a heart attack when he sees the walls of ice

izu has a massive handshapped scar on his wrist from when tenko saved him by pulling him out of the way of a car

he doesnt mind it but it makes tenko sad so he wears a lil cuff over it

tenko snuck in to watch the entrance exam he n toshinori are cheering quietly, the other teachers just sigh

izuku broke allmights record for points scored in the entrance exam but hes still scared he failed

tenko wants to s c r e a m

USJ ANGST TIME

starts as normal students enter, villains arrive kurogiri has an ear piece and is talking with afo directly, some of the 8 prefects goons are there too

hitoshi used his quirk on kurogiri to find out who they are, but is targeted after that and the villains know not to respond

the students are scattered, its izu/tsuyu and hitoshi. they do the whirlpool thing w/o the sitcking, hitoshi instructs them to tread water and not to move

hitoshi is nearing quirk overuse, tsuyu is shaken, izu is pretty much ok

aizawa is fighting the villains as normal, the nomu arrives

hitoshi tries to mind control the nomu, kurogiri attempts to direct one of the nomus punches to hitoshi, aizawa cancels the portal, severing one of the nomus arms. its grows back, aizawa is beaten

izuku charges forward, fighting the nomu with a higher percentage of full cowl than he can safely use but they are evenly matched

todoroki shows up, cant help because the two are moving so fast he cant aim his quirk and not hit mido

he and hitoshi keep kurogiri busy

before allmight arrives, dabi and tenko do, after seeing tenya running towards the school

izuku can barely move, over using his quirk to the point that he has countless micro fractures and the nomu has landed a few punches, and he took others to protect aizawa

tenko yells at dabi to grab izuku, kurogiri mentions that his master killed tenkos family and hes pissed

he cant stand up to the nomu but shouto makes an opening and he and dabi try to damage it as best they can, shouto has to hold izuku down to stop him from joining the fight again

allmight arrives, quickly dispatches the nomu, turns on Kurogiri

so tenko, allmight and a shaky izu are all facing down kurogiri while afo is trying to convince him to keep fighting

reinforcements arrive and kuro nopes out

as soon as the portal closes, izuku collapses and tenko n allmight rush over, shouto is grabbing onto dabi and hitoshi is trying to get aizawa to respond

hitoshi, crying, has to ask dabi to pick up his dad because his arms are shaking to bad hes scared he might drop him

tenko has no gloves anymore and he cant touch izuku and hes just lost, shouto wraps an arm around him and hitoshi n they cry as dabi takes aizawa and allmight takes izuku to recovery girl

aizawa n izu in the same hospital, hitoshi tells him what izuku did n aizawa fucking, breaks out of bed like a jackass to call him a problem child then fucking limps back

less depressingly, happy families dabi and tenko do "get help" from Thor Ragnarok

"gET heLP hEs BUrnINg UP"

aizawa : "kids that movie is like 240 years old"

izuku : "so... you know it then?"

aizawa: "fuck"

nighteye and gran torino are izuku and tenko's terrible uncles

he stars school at 5%, internships is 10%, camp gets him up to 15% so hes around 25% at the eri rescue

ochako being a terrible influence on kirishima

“uraraka i like katsuki. what do”

“push it down”

“what”

“pUSH UR FEELINGS Down”

also happy families shouto actually interns w nighteye n izu because dabi said he was an ass so no death thanks

one person asks izuku what his quirk is

he pauses

"aaaaaaaaaa"

"hm"

"my mum has minor levitation and my dad is quirkless"

izuku pauses again.

"wait"

"wait im not toshis biologically"

"waiT Who WAs My FirST Dad?"

shouto thinks inko has an affair w allmight then married his secretary but izuku met toshinori through tenko so he just lays down on the floor and screams

shouto’s brain is going to explode one day

consider tenko and izuku looking soft and pure but you turn around and suddenly you dont have a wallet and your food is gone

happy family izuku and kastuki were eachothers first kiss but in a dumb ass way

izuku was like "i need to ruin my frist kiss so the next one will be better"

"wow me too, you seem like the worlds worst option!"

"cool!"

they both almost gagged afterwards

tenko walked in on them violently scrubbing their lips

“wow katsuki who was ur first kiss”

bakugou stares off fondly into the distance

“deku :))”

"it was fucking terrible" wistful sigh

izuku, blushing happily: “id never do it again”

izuku: "yeah i scrubbed my face until it bleed so none of my skin would be tainted"

first week of 1a, someone asking izuku if he and katsuki are/were dating so izuku asks ochako to launch him into the sun

no matter how many people they date everyone always insists that katsuki and izuku are dating each other

izuku is actually dating shouto but no one believes him for some reason

dabi and hitoshi find it so funny

please consider dabi being the frontrunner of these rumours, like these random first years will come up to izuku while he’s eating lunch with shouto and they’ll be in t e a r s

“wHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON BAKUGOU SENPAI?”

izuku starts crying

shouto, totally deadpan: "i thought our love was real, izu-chan"

izuku wheezes

they have a katsudeku fan club and shouto’s the mascot

dabi is in it. hes a full hero at this point but nezu gave him a pass so he could attend

they have weekly meetings

it’s dabi, shouto, kirishima and like twenty first year girls from every class

shouto, in a deadpan voice: “good morning girls today i saw katsuki and izuku sharing bread. discuss”

kirishima is one of the most popular fanartists

tenko loves the meme but looking at his brother and bakugo “dating” makes him deeply upset so he breaks in to decay all the art on the walls once a week

he crowds shouto in tears one day

“how are you okay with your boyfriend and your classmate being the subjects of such horrid art”

shouto, deadpan: “it’s just a prank bro”

izuku falls asleep in the common room and toshi carries him back to his room and has to call tenko to unlock the door for him. tenko was in his own dorm on the other side of school.

he sprinted

iida the good boy finishes his essays the week before and hands them in a day early

izuku, the hot mess, procrastinates by training until he cant feel his arms and doing any other subject work than the stuff due, stays up till 4am to finish his essay and doesnt go back to sleep cause its time for his morning run

they get the same grades

no one knows izuku is a hot mess

Dabi is like izuku but he doesnt study hes just depressed

Tenko finishes his the day before but he gets izuku to read it over

shouto does his essays in class

aizawa wants to be mad but he remembers him mic n tensei distracting the teachers for as long as they can to violently finish their essays

“katsuki why didn’t you finish your essay”

“i was making oreos from scratch sensei”

"fair, give me some and you can hand in it wednesday"

he bribes every single teacher into giving him extensions and no one can refuse him bc his extra spicy curry is to die for. he maybe sometimes he helps deku get an extension too but if he does that’s no one else’s business but his

izuku acts so soft w the others "oh isnt kacchans food so good? "

but he climbs into through katsukis window

"bitch whats the recipe"

izuku banging on katsuki s window at five in the morning: “kacchan give me ur fucking curry recipe you promised it to me three years ago”

bakugos hands shake as he tries to call aizawa

“i see u calling sensei kacchan, put the phone down and no one gets hurt”

he has one of katsukis limited editing all might figurines in his hand

“give me the recipe and all might lives katsuki. it doesn’t have to end this way”

shouji, stressed and sleep deprived walks into bakugou’s room just to see izuku menacingly trying to force his way in while bakugou is crying

Two sides of a coin. Two sides of a decision. Two people bet their relationship choices on a flip. Heads or tails? Ochako and Izuku see the consequence of choosing one side.

Four years have passed since graduation and Ochako has not seen any of her classmates including that green-haired one ever since she went back to her hometown. Is this because she placed all her faith on that coin toss back in their third year?

What if Izuku unknowingly possessed a "sentient" Quirk like Tokoyami's 'Dark Shadow'? Enter Midoriya Izuku, a young boy thought to be Quirkless who subconsciously controls the number one vigilante in Japan; an entity powerful enough to rival even the strongest villains.

Aizawa's heart has always been hopelessly big for those who needed help. Growing up taught him how to obscure that fact to protect himself after a few hard lessons but he never gives up. A parent's love is to be trampled on time and again but always ready to help. He didn't begrudge not having a marked parent of his own- well, outside Nedzu in his own odd way- maybe it even made him determined enough to deserve the twenty one child marks on his back.

If only he didn't have to get his hopes up every year he teaches a new class at UA. Maybe... Maybe this year he'd at least find one of them. Right?

Never expected to see an AU like this but I LOVE THE CONCEPT ! It’s so beautiful !

Izuku and his classmates are Pro Heroes in the future. He's twenty-eight when he gets into a battle against a villain that had been getting away with murder for weeks. He remembers blinding pain, and then suddenly he's watching a baseball fall from his hand and he's back on his first day at U.A.. It must've been the result of the villain's unknown Quirk, so he has to be cautious and not raise suspicion, because that's the smartest course of action for a hero in an unknown situation.

Aizawa - god, he missed his teacher - returns his Quirk, and Izuku automatically fires up One for All without thinking to fling the ball. Only when it flies out of the Earth's gravitational pull does he realise, oh, wait, that was 75% of his power, which was a lot more than he had a grip on at this age.

He winces and turns to face Aizawa, and the man's shocked face turns into the disturbingly wide grin he'd seen before. Oh boy.

So much for laying low...

They say that home is not a place, but a person. Losing her parents at the age of 17, just days before turning 18 and celebrating Christmas, meant letting go of their home for her incapability to pay the rent. Without a family and without a roof above her head, what else is she to lose? Instead of a Santa Claus coming to her rescue, it is a walking Christmas tree on that snowy day who says, “I can give you a home, and I can pay for your parents’ home. I-if you would m-m-marry me.”

Izuku Midoriya, 18, is made heir to the One for All company, known for providing all kinds of merchandise for all kinds of needs – “There is nothing to fear, for everything is here.” Currently, the top company in the country headed by famous tycoon, Toshinori Yagi, who calls himself, All Might, takes in Izuku as a successor. But there is one condition in being his heir – that is to get married.

IzuOcha! I really love how sweet this fanfic is and that it gives me diabetes

“My thanks.” He says, smiling back. “What is your name, boy?”

“I’m Izuku! Izuku Midoriya, sir!” The boy replies, excited, looking up at him. And Toshinori looks into the unmoving washed out green, into milky white pupils visible behind the mess curly hair, and realizes.

The boy is blind.

The boy that he distinctly saw dodge a series of fairly quick attacks, light on his feet and clearly used to some kind of training, the boy that had thrown him the bottle at the perfect height and perfect speed, the boy that has easily collected his spilled groceries and orderly put them back into the little plastic bag—

The boy. Is blind.

All Might imparts a lesson onto his student that his master taught him. It's perhaps the most important lesson he's never quite fully learned

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20924006

She couldn’t recall how she ended up on a roof of some building. She wasn't the only one up here. There was a small boy, about her age, if she had to estimate. He was lanky, messy, shaky and – after he tripped over his own feet – a bit clumsy. A schoolboy in his black school clothes. Curly hair on top and freckles dotted his baby face.

Ochaco thought she'd get answers, but the more they spoke, the less it made sense. With ho other people around, and the clocks all stuck at just-past-eleven, she thought she had time to figure it out.

Till then enjoy until I find more~

BnHA Ch.318 - Comparisons and parallels

Hey, did you hear Bakugo was back? I kid! Of COURSE everyone on Tumblr heard the collective BKDK screams. :) While the gremlin ex machina is the big news, a lot of other good stuff happened too.

We open the chapter with more Endeavor chitchat. He’s turning out to be a good coordinator, an insightful investigator, and all around worthy of being a top pro…except he’s still a crap father and still doesn’t seem to care about human beings. Even here with Deku, he appears to express concern over Deku’s wellbeing but immediately follows it up with:

Yup, he only cares about Deku as the OFA holder, not the kid who saved him in the war, the kid who used to intern for him, or the kid who’s friends with his kid. Ugh.

Deku swears to Endy that he’s fine because he’s still on his feet, but that’s a pretty poor standard. I mean, he’s wobbling and needs Blackwhip as a literal crutch. The vestiges agree with Endy and start to gang up on Deku, so Deku, in all his tired teenage wisdom, decides to ghost them. Apparently you CAN ghost a vestige, and Fourth is not here for it.

Holy heteromorph discrimination! All the villains we see Deku fighting are heteromorphs (some are even dressed like Spinner). We also see Deku fighting a gigantic shark-headed villain in the water, presumably because Gang Orca and Selkie were busy.

I LOVE the panel of Deku thinking of his family, his teachers, and Eri. This is what he’s fighting to achieve, but Deku’s perceptions (goals?) don’t necessarily line up with reality.

His mom is first (awwww) and she’s cheering for him like she did when he was little. NOT worried, not crying, just pure joy for her hero son, like he fantasized when he was a quirkless boy.

Gran Torino in his hero outfit, smiling and eating — NOT as Deku last saw him in the hospital.

Proud Dadmight with a genuine smile, NOT hero All Might. Also, All Might appears to be wearing his track jacket, not a business suit, so presumably Deku is thinking about a more casual training moment with his mentor. This is an interesting contrast to Gran Torino, who Deku DOES picture as a hero even though Torino handed his cape to Deku in the hospital.

AIZAWA GLARING WITH BOTH EYES AND HIDING HIS MOUTH, because THIS is how Aizawa looks in Deku’s happily ever after. But we all know Aizawa is probably hiding a sly smile under under his capture weapon, right??

Eri, finally smiling freely, because she’s learned how.

Also, it looks like Deku is again fighting heteromorphs at the bottom of this panel, although one of the kids he’s defending appears to have a duck bill, so we have some positive representation too.

Deku says he wants everyone to live their lives in peace and safety so they can smile together. Wow, where have we heard an idealistic kid say that before?

As Deku thinks about the ideal he shares with All Might, he arrives at Kamino, the place where “All Might” ended. Deku nearly collapses and meets his end when he sees a villain called Dictator, who was sent by AFO. Yup, Nagant wasn’t the only one sent by AFO, she just thought she was (and AFO didn’t prep her well — by comparison, Dictator received a full briefing about Deku). But look carefully at how Dictator uses different insults than AFO. He doesn’t call Deku useless or a boy (as both AFO and Nagant did), even though the imagery throughout this chapter points to the “what can you even do?” bit from Chapter 1. Instead, Dictator calls Deku reckless, impatient, and a loner.

“Rampage” in particular, calls back to this AFO/Yoichi exchange during the vestige battle, where AFO decried “rage” as being ruled by emotion and out of control, but Yoichi praised it as a form of passion.

Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but I think AFO is increasingly afraid of Deku. AFO is putting more effort into prepping his assassins, and his pass-through insults are sounding more like the taunts he hurled at All Might. AFO is now referring to All Might as useless and Deku as reckless. If, somehow, we see Dictator in the next chapter, I’m curious if he’ll explode or bust out a second quirk…..He does say taking Deku to AFO will bring him security, so I think AFO explicitly threatened him. All I’m saying is, it’s weird that a villain named Dictator has no mission statement or political end he’s trying to reach. He seems to be acting purely on AFO’s orders or ELSE, which means AFO is getting desperate and doesn’t have time for games. By contrast, AFO persuaded Nagant the boy would stop hero society from collapsing, therefore her goal and AFO’s goal were aligned. Unlike Dictator, she wasn’t aware there was an “or else;” she didn’t know she would explode if she exercised “free will.”

Deku snaps out of his stupor long enough to challenge Dictator to give up AFO’s location. Dictator says if Deku wants a fight, he’ll give him one, which echoes a line from AFO in Kamino:

There’s no more “come quietly if you want to keep your limbs,” it’s straight to “let’s fight!”

FINALLY! We. See. Bakugo! I adore how Deku is piled under bodies, twisting his tired brain around, thinking “I need a strategy,” and Bakugo is just, “VILLAIN GO BOOM!” with a precision blast. He knew exactly how to get the villain while keeping civilians safe. Perfect victory (assuming Dictator is truly done). Also, Bakugo’s “that punk” could apply to either the villain or Deku. :) It’s a nice callback to the final exam when Deku can’t think of a strategy to win against All Might and Bakugo was, “I choose violence against my childhood idol.” Both times, Bakugo’s right — sometimes a little rage is necessary to save and win.

I have thoughts on AFO and the “my body moved without thinking” bits that I’ll post separately. As for my next chapter hopes and dreams:

More Bakugo and UA kids. Plus All Might and Stain. And some LOV love pleeeeease.

Figure out why Second is being sus. He says saving everyone is the right path for Deku (contrary to AFO, who calls Deku’s path “thorny”), and that inaction is not an option for OFA holders. We also know Second believes victory = life and defeat = death, so it makes sense he’d push Deku towards victory no matter the cost. Second also says there’s something that can bolster Deku, which is presumably Bakugo and friends. However, when Bakugo arrives, Second doesn’t look pleased. Assuming he’s standing the same way against his throne chair as he is at the start of the chapter, then in the panel below Second is looking over his LEFT shoulder AWAY from the other vestiges and towards the expanse of the OFA mind realm. (Earlier in the chapter he looks over his RIGHT shoulder to speak to Yoichi and Third.) WHY YOU LOOK AWAY FROM VESTIGE FRIENDS WHEN WHEN BAKUGO APPEARS??? ARE YOU ON THE LOOKOUT FOR AFO TO ARRIVE??

Although the arrival of foreign heroes has been promised for a bit, and I’m ok with some background forces to bulk the hero ranks, I’m not keen on new cannon fodder cameo characters that will show up for 4 chapters and then disappear. A Captain Celebrity appearance would be fun, but let’s be honest, he likely noped out of going to Japan to fight villains gone wild. If Death Arms quit, there’s no way Captain Celebrity would keep going!
