#bkdk mv

[spinji]

Genuinely what other interpretation could you give this other than Bakugou holding up and supporting Izuku's dream when it starts to waver and he stuggles to keep it together on his own. And that Katsuki is the only person who loves Izuku that much to be there for him on such an intimate level. His friends, his family, his teachers, they're all important to him but they are not the one and only Kacchan Bakugou.

I diagnose you both with terminal yaoi.

[save-to-win-win-to-save]

I know we are all feeling over the freaking moon about the Jump MV but like... Have you guys seen the translated lyrics for the song??

Some prime examples:

"Don't hide your scars."

"I'll do my best to wipe away these tears. I'll give you everything, please don't disappear."

"I'm fighting while being kept alive by someone else's life. I'm not afraid of losing anymore. I hate giving up on winning. I'll never run away again. I just want to challenge myself to be the person I want to be."

EXCUSE ME 😭❤️???

if bakudeku isn't canon why do we keep winning

sooo, they released the mv for this season's ed, Tsubomi by Omoinotake. Watch here:

and I have thoughts because well, they featured 2 kids playing with each other in -let me catch my breath- orange and green capes. Are you kidding me.

Well, I already liked this ed because of the visuals and I think you can apply the song for a lot of characters and dynamics. Even in the mv, there are elements of tenko and these lines "Light up this path with your blooming smile. Your face is my origin" screams very togaocha to me but because I'm a bkdk thru and thru ofc I make it about them and well there they are.

Also remember that bkdk coaster collage from giga?

I was wondering why they used these colors and then,

and I'm 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Anyways, watch the mv!!!!

I thought maybe people were exaggerating when they claimed Jump basically just made bkdk canon, but NOPE. My. HEART.

BKDK is trending on Twitter because of the Jump MV and it's very beautiful to see 🥹

Thank you for the bkdk content we keep getting 🎉🥰

[marimeeko]

I wake up and I find that bkdk coded MV and also this

[feyres-divorce-lawyer]

when katsuki was kidnapped and izuku tweaked out so bad, mr. compress called him out like he was a toxic boyfriend😭

when katsuki said “that’s kacchan bakugo to you” like?????

nah because bakudeku is genuinely gay as hell. im not even delusional abt them like why else would bakugou say shit like “keep your eyes on me, deku” that’s fucking gay. every line they got in the manga is gay

[class1akids]

I don't ship bkdk, but it still makes me feel really angry to watch dudebros hunting down the devoted shippers on Twitter who make any kind of negative noise about Ch 431 to just put them down - whether it's the JPN, EN or ES language fandom.

I find it really revolting because it feels like this group of overwhelmingly male fans care more about having "WON" and being "RIGHT" and being able to BRAG and PUT DOWN a group of fans who are overwhelmingly women, who actually supported the franchise by buying the manga officially, spending lots of money on merch and going to events.

These dudebros were spreading leaks and meme-ing them before the official could even occupy any space and even now, all they care about "Deku tapping Uraraka's cake".

If shippers make a well-argued comment about how it feels like Izuku is losing his dreams, and how sad it is, the answer is "LOL, you are just a gross, disgusting, delusional fujoshi".

In the end, I'm sad that Horikoshi and WSJ enabled this exact behaviour, because they knowingly fed this devoted shipping fandom with things like the GIGA cover, making 20,000 yen stickers to sell, releasing official tiktok video with sparkling hearts, releasing BKDK MV with the ending of the official serialization in August with Ch 430 and then pushing out merch after merch during the next 4 months, only to turn around and release Ch 431 with an unprecedented Origin Trio bonus and not even a hint at the Izu/Cha ending.

And yes, there have been volume bonuses before, but rarely drawn by Horikoshi. The only other example of 3 different bonuses drawn by Horikoshi was Vol 33 with the black&white Deku/Iida, Deku/Ochako, Deku/Bakugou cards. But for those, some of the bonuses didn't really sell well and even then, Vol 33 held the sales record until now.

This time, they released it with individual color illustrations of the 3 massively most popular characters of the franchise (mostly supported by female fans, in idol poses made to appeal to female fans). Many fans bought 3+ copies to collect all.

Anyways, it makes me angry not because of the ship ending - because I frankly am not terribly invested in who Deku ends up in canon, and not even the botched bkdk hero office, because in my head it's origin trio office or nothing, not even the thrown away themes because for me the manga already betrayed its themes when it failed to save the villains.

It makes me angry, because it feels like a final betrayal of the female fans. Female audiences have become more than half of this manga's fandom and became a factor in WSJ's business decisions. And I thought that 430 - if nothing else - tried to cater for the manga's diverse shipping community - an implicit recognition that the female audience's preferences are acknowledged and taken into account and maybe will change female portrayal in manga.

So I find it cowardly not that they end on a het ship, but that they do it in a sneaky way, like a total ambush, once they have squeezed maximum money out of these female fans. Not only did they knowingly disappoint these women but they gave a "weapon" at the end to the men, who somehow regained their "masculinity" from the het ship ending to beat down the same women who bankrolled their franchise this whole time.

The same dudebros who called Deku a loser for being a teacher in Ch 430 and the suit pathetic, now cheer on the same ending - where the only thing that changed was that Deku "rejected" Bakugou (the big, scary gay ship), and where a het ship was confirmed.

And to me, now beyond this particular manga, it just confirms that the rampant misogyny in manga spaces continues. That women are not seen as an audience important to consider beyond money-bags. Rather the opposite - WSJ thought it was more profitable to turn on them and reaffirm the toxic masculinity of men who have always seen Deku not as an example of selfless heroism but as a power-fantasy.

Because even if the magical superpowers are taken away, even if the great dream of the once idealistic child is lost, as long as men have power to put women in their place (in-story by conforming to their desires and in real life by being able to tell them that the way they read the story was delusional and wrong) - they feel like they have won.

okay sooo i don't usually do this but i can't keep my mouth shut about how bad horikoshi fucked up the epilogue. it feels like it's not him, it feels like he doesn't know his own characters.

i can't understand how izuku can betray the literal dream of his LIFE. i can't understand how katsuki thinks he deserves to be rejected. i can't understand how ochako can ignore toga's ghost and just doing whatever the fuck happened in the epilogue.

i don't think toga died for this. i don't think all of the tgck stuff we got, all of their development, all of their arcs and the facts that they were literally MADE FOR EACHOTHER was for this.

i don't think katsuki died twice for this. i don't think izuku was literally KILLING for katsuki for this. i don't think katsuki's amazing development as a character and his apology was for this.

i don't think all of bkdk and tgck sketches, mvs, merch stuff etc etc was just for THIS.

horikoshi if this leak is official then you fucked up so bad...

[usamironpa]

IF WE DONT GET A OFFICAL ART OR MV OF TOGACHAKO LIKE WE DID WITH BKDK I WILL SOB VIOLENTLY

MAKE THEM KISS HORIKOSHI PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU THATS ALL I NEED TO LIVE
