#but yeah BKDK THO

[spinji]

I know it's been weeks since the final chapter came out but I can't get over how much Izuku and Katsuki's relationship objectively drove the story from start to finish, they don't want to exist without each other and they got the happy ending that was ripped away from another pair that All For One heavily projected onto: Yoichi and Kudo(I personally read that as a big brother not approving of how his younger brother chose to run away to be with another man, and how he chased after and killed both of them for it. You know like an older sibling not approving of their kid sibling's dating life).

Genuinely insane that their bond is the entire backbone of the story. Like, that's objectively correct. Even in the times before they were alive, there was a bkdk equivalent setting up the lore.

You can call it rivalries or hope or idealism or heroic spirit or whatever but we all know what this is, it's LOVE

Still mad we aren't getting Bakugou v AFO until next season because that freakout confusing Katsuki for Kudou is the funniest shit AFO has done. Starting with the most recent episode we have officially reached the "clowning on AFO" stage of the war and I love it.

It was crazy watching bkdk go from the most hated ship to the most popular ship in the fandom

[that-spider-fan-over-there]

God, how much salt can I have over a stupid manga ending and when does it end!?

(Or: I have finally processed that BNHA 431 exists and stopped laughing about it in favour of actual critical thinking)

(Or: or: A mid-ass manga ending that somehow pissed me off enough I can't stop thinking about it months after got more pages and none fo them amused me more at who knows O'Clock god I need a new hyperfixation)

"Turn off the cameras", "three endings", my ass, you just didn't want KT/IZ shippers breaking down on your doorstep.

Idk, I've laughed on the day because of how ridiculously worse it got (and maybe that was a cry for help because I don't want to be in the building anymore), but something really, really bitter in my mouth to hear the author said "nah this last chapter ain't mine, just an optional extra" after the ship wars over KT/IZ and HM/CK vs. IZ/CH makes me hit my head so much. Which isn't to say you shouldn't care about it, mourn it in disappointment, pop the bottles and celebrate, that's your right.

(Seriously, congratulations to IZ/CH fans, and for HM/CK fans, you deserved better.)

But I'm a little bit frustrated that the story could've chosen to do something for the villains, like bringing them closure, show they've been vindicated by the Saviour Trio, have something significant in the system change in their name... but apparently it was more compelling to make IZ/CH canon than actually do something about the LOV.

(because let's be honest entertaining 4-6yo children into playing with their Quirks for a month and dipping doesn't replace therapy or calling child services no matter how much Ochako wants to believe it somehow does.)

Idk, Himiko being used to reinforce a IZ/CH moment for the second time in a row (bury your gays for a F/M relationship), Touya getting one panel after getting his moment taken over by Endeavor in his last chapter ("Bad" Victim dies and dies painfully but who cares), Tomura's last words being used so Deku can get together with his highschool crush (how do I even qualify this one???), Spinner got an extra illustration of him sadly brainstorming a comic, Kurogiri, Mr. Compress and Twice got nothing... and AFO still gets to be right while none of the characters have a single cell of self-awareness the story has that this ending just doesn't connect to the rest of it all.

And I'm supposed to just. Care about whatever the fuck Deku's doing? Fine, here's my thoughts: I wished Katsuki and Kirishima crashed the car so I wouldn't see that empty shell of my former favourite character smiling at the end. Alas, my MC fully flatlined the second punching OFA to Tomura was a thing and I regret ignoring that sign. I tried to be nice before when I posted my thoughts for 430, hell, I held out hope for every epilogue chapter, but now, the hopeful superhero manga, you gave me this: REGRET FOR HAVING HOPES UNTIL THE END.

Like. I still prefer to ignore canon, especially after spending... What, May to August hoping the LoV would turn out to be miraculously alive, only to get that ripped to shreds and still be mad about it months after (and I've never been this fucking angry about a shitty finale). It's just irritating, these extra pages could've been a way to show the villains actually impacted the hero society.

And instead all we get is a job rejection treated like a breakup (seriously, why was it drawn like a rom-com shot?) and a push from the canonically bi character to the implied romantic F/M handshake that's gonna fuel the ship wars for the next month.

But I can at least say it was in character for 422-onwards Izuku. I mean, killing a guy and proceeding to never think about it is in character with making another one waste eight years for a dream that was never gonna happen.* I guess "not being the author's chapter" makes it alright for almost everyone else though. Whatever, at least Shoto got an actual good ending and is finally chilling in his life and Katsuki's getting an IRL statue since the manga wouldn't do it (I don't like the billboards existence, it literally caused half of everyone's problems in the story but if I'm supposed to care: Number 15, really man?) I guess.

*Seriously now, fandom's proving why a timeskip in BNHA was never a good idea: yes it's OOC Izuku would reject Katsuki like that... If he was the 16 year old Izuku who actually gave a fuck about saving people and being a hero no matter how. It picked realism over the themes, and this is the end result. It's not unnatural or anything, it's just what happens when you got a last-minute timeskip this huge: You miss on character development and it feels sudden, this is how we get the fandom in-fighting. In eight years he changed careers, if he doesn't want to be a full time hero, then he doesn't, and considering how the other option turned out for Tomura or Tenko or whatever you call him atp, I'm sorry but for me it's a relieved "thank fuck" which means the chances of another's guy getting killed by him are lower.

But hey. Who the fuck cares, Izuocha vs. Bakudeku is the most important part of this, right? I mean, I'd take it if the LoV was fine so I wouldn't feel rage at the main character, but again. Who cares?

... I swear I don't want to hate the ending but fuck's sake I just wanted it to mean something.

Whatever, the story's over, all of that is canon because unfortunately it's on the published paper for the entire audience to see, and yet, I still hate the ending, not gonna stop shipping the stuff I ship, and *grabbing Midoriya Izuku pre-412 by the neck* I've already drew the line at this. Life of denial where LoV is still alive, thriving and the beginning of a new era for a reformed hero society and they throw away the hero billboard concept as a whole and heroes are more akin to social workers and not the same celebrity cops from Chapter 1, instead of stopping at installing a one-month counseling program for kids and saying "FIXED". This chapter changes jackshit about it, if anything it reinforces that resolve.

With that said: "Story of how I become the world's greatest hero" Midoriya shut the fuck up and just pay up the money wasted by twenty people on that suit since you're not even gonna commit to it, you useless empty shell.

[bravano]

goddamn it, I come back to My Hero Academia for the first time in years and it’s ending???!? WHAT THE HELL?!?

what do you mean we’re currently in the middle of season 7?!?! Last I checked, season 3 had just come out!

Five Chapters left?? what?? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO DEKUS ARMS??? AND BAKUGOU DIED FOR LIKE A YEAR?!?

WHEN DID SHIGARAKI GET HOT!?!?

Oh yeah, what the hell is a blackwhip?

oof I remember when Dabi being a Todoroki was only a fan theory lol, I remember writing a few posts about it back when he first showed up lol.

Ain’t gonna lie tho, Deku’s new haircut is actually kind cool. Hm, what’s that? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE’S QUIRKLESS AGAIN??

ALSO LESBIANS?? TOGA?? URARAKA?? I NEVER SAW THAT COMING BUT HOLY SHIT THEIR CHAPTER IS BEAUTIFUL.

and don’t even get me started on bkdk. You mean to tell me I won’t get flamed anymore for liking it? That’s it’s considered one of the most popular ships now? Most people consider it practically canon? Phew. OG BAKUDEKU SHIPPER HERE THAT GOT DEATH THREATS FOR LIKING IT BACK IN 2017 ✨🙏☺️ nature is healing

Honestly tho, it was one of the first anime I ever watched, and to come back to it now with so much stuff having happened, it’s definitely shocking lol. But honestly, when I catch you Horikoshi-

[the-anime-enthusiast]

izuku midoryia’s type in women PLEASEEEE🙏🙏

OFCC!! Sorry for taking so long, in my last post I explained why I've been on an unofficial hiatus but yeah 😭 I got u!!

IZUKU MIDORIYA - type in women

PHYSICAL 🤸‍♀️

bro DOES NYYYAT care, literally at all. I think everyone has their preferences, him too ofc, but he's him guys. The ratio from hips to waist is NOT what bros laying attention to, but ofc I'll still give you my opinion.

SUN KISSED BADDIES you got that like sunburn across your cheeks? he's going crazy. like legitimately. I don't think he would be able to handle his feelings. he'd probably pass out from a blood pressure spike.

He likes them brown haired girls 😔 and brown eyed girls 😭 (song reference) He honestly doesn't care Abt details like that, he'd date anyone, but he def compares his love life to shoujo series and he stays seeing those dark haired baddies.

ass tits thighs personality ✅ he's fs a personality man but let's bffr, every guy has there thing....height, hips, and arms. He likes his girls shorter than him 🙂 (around 5'2? not too short tho cuz then he gets weirded out) He LOVES dem hips. Yk whenever a girl has that natural dip in her hips, it kinda looks like those donut stack toys babies play with? (random comparison I js can't think of anything) HE LOVES THAT SH!!T. He's def secretly crazy for thick hips, like when u got some fat around them. Loves it 100%

okay...so the whole arms thing...he likes girls who have thicker arms...and not rly a muscle kinda thick, more like an auntie thick when you got that little folded skin hanging over the elbow. Bros specific, and bros a lil weird Abt it. He would NEVER admit it out loud, but it's like a creepy fetish for him. He would js never actually be creepy Abt it tho cuz yk, HE HAS COMMON DECENCY. (Unlike some guys 🙄)

When I say he's not picky, I MEAN he is not picky. It's giving very much Yuji Itadori and that one girl that he was like "yeah it would be her" (very mindful, very sweet, very wholesome, very demure) Slim, Thick, Skinny, Midsize, Plus size, All size, Morphing Size (idfk im running out of sizes and you never know with those quirks man)

MENTAL 🧠

if ur a mean ass bitch you can get TFFF OUUUTTT bro does NOT stand for that sh!t 🙅‍♀️ tbh i dont think he'd be picky when it comes to personality but he doesn't stand for someone who has room for hate in their heart, even after everything hes been through. I'm not gonna sit here and be like "oh he's a sweet cinnamon roll 🥺" like bffr, but he won't even look in your direction if you're a "hater"

He generally wants someone sweet, or just nice in general. like ochaco (no I'm not shipping them, she's just really nice and the best charcter to describe his preferred personality to)(did you see her with toga? shes a sapphic queen guys bffr) He wants someone who cares TREMENDOUSLY, like he does. Kindness is what gets his attention, being a good soul and good spirit, someone he can match wave lengths with mentally.

A strong mind and determination. (bkdk reference) (I'm joking) He knows exactly where he wants to be in life, even if his idea of that is a little messy, so he likes whenever someone has the same drive he does, natural will to be good. He wants someone mentally tough and ready to face the world for what they believe, as long as they know in their heart it's what they want/believe. (all might reference)

RANDOM 🎉

He rly likes girls who can draw 😭 He thinks it's the coolest thing ever and it makes it so easy for his partner to get him gifts bc he'd melt if he got a personalized drawing of him and his fav heros 😭

LOVE LANGUAGE - physical touch

he's not huge on pda (he gets rly embarrassed, not in a embarrassed of you way, more of a, im shy and feel like my face is going to explode, kinda way) but he loves sweet little acts of physical touch. Whenever he's stressed or really anxious holding hands melts all his worries away.

LOVE LANGUAGE -quality time

bro fr js wants to be next you. he loves little cheesy dates (amusement park and sharing crepes)(manga reference) but yeah, just cheesy things like that.

Really likes nerdy girls (very big on matching energy if you can't already tell) like js geek out with bro and he'd die for u istg.

Play a damn board game with this kid, Jeezus Chrysler. Whip out monopoly and you'll have his attention till he rots in fictional jail. He actually REALLY sucks at board games but refuses to ever stop playing them. Jenga? He can't even set the blocks up without knocking them over. Uno? He forgot what the word uno was. I mean literally say there stuttering trying to remember what word he's supposed to say.

BUY THIS KID SHOES. He doesn't know why...but it's one of his favorite gifts to receive. He loves trying them on and showing them off to you. He also gets rly geeked out over custom fan shoes. (think like those Hercules sandals from the Hercules movie) He knows it's cringe. He doesn't care. He has display racks for all of them on his wall.

OMG I FINISHED WRITING IT HOLY SH!T I DIDNT THINK I WOULD I js pulled all of these he out MY BEHIND BRO it's midnight I'm dead ASF, I have that convention in 2 days, shizzz wild rn. Pls lemme know what u think!! I've never been a HUUGHERE Deku fan, I kinda js appreciate his character, but I think this is pretty cutesy, how tf do u spell that. Anyways, yeah. This was fun. BYEYYEYEYEHEHEHEHEHEYYTEYRYTRYYR

[vaguelyaperson]

oh sure bkdk seem like polar opposites, but they both, in fact

are stubborn

have zero fucking chill

like... they’re so fucking emotional. my dudes.

... and yell a lot

ambitious/competitive

will throw down anytime anywhere

absolute nerds

academically inclined

strategic geniuses

all might/pro hero trivia

but also jocks

ambiverts (they seem just as content around others as they are by themselves)

also note they have similar number of friends

socially awkward af tho

& get embarrassed easily

one stammers, one gets snappy -> both flustered

yet ironically very charismatic!!! people are drawn to/inspired by them

fiercely protective (of each other and loved ones)

are the splitting image of their mothers

chafe at authority (their forms of deviance differ)

self-sufficient/struggle asking for help

have admitted willingness to break his body to achieve his goals

idiots

these two are just the same fucking person, different fonts. “i know him better than anyone else” yeah, fucker, cause your souls were clearly cut from the same cloth. one of you just has a potty mouth and the other fools people with his doe eyes into believing he’s innocent

[marimeeko]

Horikoshi: I love drawing hands. Hands are the most expressive part of the body

All of us, mostly artists jealous of the hand drawing prowess: yeah ok king we can tell

Horikoshi: *writes the most incredible hand-symbolism into his most important connections in MHA*

All of us and especially bkdks: 🥹😭 YOURE SO RIGHT THO

[cookiekat-blogz]

Ik y’all bkdk shippers are happy…

Guess who never thought she’d live to see the day where bakudeku was non toxic and on the verge of being canon?

me!

So have I changed my opinion? My opinion has (pretty much) always been the same: “yeah their cute but like only if it’s canon… and the fans ruin it but if you seperate the fandom from the show than it’s not all bad, only if they actually, I dunno, got along?”

it’s been three years and now they got along, bakudeku almost canon before gta 6, crazy.

do I want it to be canon?

I dont mind but at this rate I’d pefer so, I just still can’t see it, not that I don’t like it just that I never expected mha to actually be fruity.

now it’s time to make jokes about all my friends who crapped on it and called them straight.. (I did the same but ngl you didn’t have to ship bkdk to think they were fruity)

then hide in a rock somewhere and never come back if it’s not confirmed. /hj

thesis statement: neet, good for them, may get back into it, still reminding you of the 2019-2022 audios tho.

[angy-grrr]

im going to say something that might be surprising coming from me: if hori decided to make izu///ocha happen, I wouldnt be angry, and I could see why it could make sense for the story.

I personally dont think izu///ocha will happen and see their "romantic moments" as platonic/not focused on them as a couple, but if he were to make them happen I wont go around saying how the manga is pure trash and that he cant write anything.

These past weeks many stans of some characters have been dominating the general tags with doom posting and being mean, mainly because the ideas they were sure would happen in the manga were broken and denied, and I dont think we should do that if we end up in a similar position. Dont get me wrong, I would "mourn" that ending because I see the potential and the way the characters need something else to be fulfilled -I dont see how Izuku would fulfill anything with that, and Ochako's character would regress.

We still need to be respectful and not forget all the things we have enjoyed just because we dont get all the things we wanted -some of us criticize this about other parts of the fandom, so lets do our best to learn from those things.

As a bkdk and togachako, I would be heartbroken. As a reader, I would be confused and bored -in any case, if he ends up adding some sort of dramatic confession, I could appreciate a cute dialogue and drawing. Im not going to talk shit about the manga that has been a part of my life for such a long time just because there are decisions I cant enjoy.

When I say I can see how it would make sense I dont mean it as in well written, but as in "yeah, a shonen. They blushed, he thought about her words to remember he can try to save Shigaraki, and she said she fell in love with him". I can see how it could become canon, but there isnt much going on that would make me be happy or interested in them together at all -when I say theres no drama going on with them, its meant to be interpreted as "I dont see any romantic tension, or way this could further the plot nor serve the characters. This is mainly to have a classic shonen ending, not because the story needs it from my point of view".

Im not going to bully someone or wish the characters died tho. And I think others shouldn't either.

[knichii]

OK. does anyone else feel irritated that eng dub seems to be favoured in mha? in edits, in fics, it's clear most people watched dub and idk it's been rlly grinding my gears.

okay, to get this out the way, I don't like mha's eng dub. I don't like any of them. half don't fit their characters, 75% of the time the tone lands forced and awkward, and its literally just unbearable for me to watch I'm sorry. I have this issue with a lot of anime and cartoons so this isn't solely a my hero problem, but this is definitely the most severely I've disliked a dub. and yet I cannot escape it.

one of my biggest issues is the nuance that's lost in translation. anyone with any familiarity with the Japanese language will know what I mean. list of examples:

HONORIFICS

1. iida refers to class 1-A with '-kun'

2. yaoyorozu refers to class 1-A with '-san'

3. asui refers to class 1-A with '-chan'

3. deku with '-kun' (m) & '-san' (f)

that says SO MUCH about their characters, how they view their relationships, how they view themselves,, but in dub?? all of that's lost. ESP the significance of deku still calling bkg 'kacchan'. [simplified, '-chan' is used for cute/endearing things. it stemmed from children mispronouncing '-san', and became a childish, cutesy way of calling someone, usually someone you're VERY familiar with. it implies a shocking ammount of intimacy] thru years of bullying, all the rocks and straight up non existent road of their relationship, deku STILL calls him 'kacchan', the ONLY one allowed to do so ("but kaminari--" NEENAWNEENAWNEENAW).

in eng dub it gets reduced to a mere nickname, lacking all of its weight.

another thing is bakugou sub vs dub (...)

URGGGGGGHHHH

the most recent example is when bkg says "of course you pulled it off, Icyhot." (I forgot the context tho) in sub, he says "of course you pulled it off, TODOROKI".

THATS SUCH A NICHE, SUBTLE WAY OF SHOWING HIS DEVELOPMENT THATS TOSSED STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. translation (manga) also has him calling his seniors 'senpai' which is... not what he says in sub????? 'senpai' indicates respect for someone your senior,,,, which. bkg would never show. (or only in EXTREMELY rare cases, MAYBE)

there's also my peeve abt names. this may be an only me issue, but I don't like it when japanese names are written in western format (e.g Izuku Midoriya)... ("this guy cannot be fr rn" unfortunately yes I am). I don't have a reason for this, and I'm aware it's niche and irrational, but I always cringe a little when I'm reading a fic, that's SET IN JAPAN, and their names are written Given Name, Family Name. emphasis on SET IN JAPAN. THEY ARE JAPANESE. THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN.

bkg's hero name. his og one which was translated to King Explosion Murder, losing all of the wit and cleverness in the jp original. this post goes into more detail and is very cool check it out

slightly irrelevant but bkg's jp va, Okamoto Nobuhiko, like. wow. the bkdk fight? the voice cracks? the ANGUISH?? the softness in his voice when bkg was abt to die (the hallucination w all might) ??? like,, wow. the emotion is so much more raw than it's conveyed in eng

I've gotten off point. point is I WISH MORE PEOPLE APPRECIATED AND WATCHED IN JP SUB. IM SCREAMING INTO THE VOID AND MY OWN VOICE IS ECHOING BACK I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE.

(note: jjk was my first anime fandom so I'm probably spoiled. over there, sub seems to be favoured, barring a few iconic lines [ray chase lwk served as sukuna in the shibuya arc] and the fics, like 70% of the ones I read, used japanese honorifics and culture. in comparison, mha was a bit of a shock. the side of the fandom I washed up on is so... American??? maybe I'm in the wrong place idk. everything's just extremely white and slightly uncomfortable.)

this was a bit of a vent post,, obviously ik people are entitled to opinions (even if they're wrong), I js wanted tk if anyone else felt the same way

reading this back, I'm aware of how chronically online I am. yeah. still tho

[one-and-a-half-yikes]

This thought had been in my head before, and I didn't think about making a post about it till I saw a really dumb post I disagreed with.

Once again talking about Izuku having a crush on Ochako, while acting as if Izuku is an average shounen protag like all the others. Except for one thing...

While it can be stated that Izuku did at one point have a crush on Uraraka, and I'm not gonna dispute that, many have already pointed out how Izuku very quickly gets over it the more time he spends at U.A. And all of this is true, but there's one thing I haven't seen anyone point out yet and that's that all of Izuku's moments where we see him crushing on Ochako I treated like a gag.

There's a lot of moments from the earlier parts of the series so I didn't grab them all. But I'm gonna use some to make my case here.

this is literally the first panel where we see this happen, and right off it comes across less like a crush and more like...actually I don't know how to even describe that face...

But the point is that it doesn't really seem like the face of someone who's flustered (especially because we see Izuku get flustered at multiple other points and it looks nothing like this-), and he's barely blushing at all in this. The way that this scene is made, makes it seem like you're meant to treat this in jest. "Oh a teen boy having a crush on a girl, just a boy being a boy!" Yes. A boy being a boy. A teen boy who was previously bullied and ostracized by all his peers and who's only interaction with the opposite sex would have been his mom. I can't imagine why he's having this reaction. Anyways.

Okay now Izuku is flustered...but it's because of personal space? Not the girl in front of you? Huh. Okay. This happens again btw, during the first OVA (I think), where Uraraka in her excitement at being paired up with Izuku ends up in his personal space without consideration for his boundaries.

This continues on sparsely throughout random points in the story, until they just...stop. Completely. And this interesting, because every other time regarding IzuOcha specifically focuses on Uraraka and her feelings about Izuku. And it's never treated as a joke. Whereas with Izuku, you're meant to find it funny, but never highly important, or warranting you're full attention. It's just something that I find interesting, especially when you take into consideration how this parallels KiriMina and KamiJirou, and how for both boys and their feelings toward their respective love interests their feelings are treated again, with weight.

And like I said, Uraraka's emotions are treated seriously. We're given multiple moments to see her contemplate on this stuff. But never Izuku. Why? Because he's not important, it was always gonna be one-sided thing between them, imo I don't think, even if bkdk was never meant to be a thing, that Hori ever intended for this to be a deep, meaningful relationship between these two. That it was always never gonna happen. That's my two cents tho.

Not sure how to end this off, so yeah...if anyone wants to add anything or ask if I didn't explain something well enough lemme know cause I have no idea if I did 😅

[pwnyta]

Apparently there's another epilogue for MHA and it's never not funny how mad people get over?? Nothing??? Really????? Bakugo dropping in ranking cuz his attitude apparently has people ruffled (even tho Aizawa literally said in the last chapter that that was ABSOLUTELY gonna happen) and of course SHIPS, can't ever just be normal about shipping

Like, if yall genuinely thought bkdk was gonna become canon, then I want whatever you're drinking because there was always zero chance of it happening.

Tho Hori does make me mad with some things, like apparently Shoto never got to eat soba with Dabi before he died??? Like, ya couldn't let him have that? One nice little moment between the fucked up brothers?

Oh yeah I saw... I didnt bother reading it. LOL LOL @ Bakugo. Figures he suffers consequences of being a fucking douchebag after hes went through his 'character development'

Shout out to DekuRaka. They could never be you (canon).

((//stir stir))

Pft Horikoshi fucking over Shoto? What else is new?

[cartoonrival]

We truly won and got the last laugh i can't believe it, sorry for still pestering you with this rival i'm just kinda enjoying this caos💀 that's what i meant with cheering and clapping cuz i'm a petty hater(with b*d*ks)gkdjd yeah izu0cha is whatever, still happy for ochaco ily bisexual queen, love seeing her thrive i'm so sorry bout your girlfriend tho :c (and the upcoming biphobia you and your gf deserved so much better).

But yeah krbk(is also canon to me)is so important to me whether p/o or not they always are special to each other like i never doubt it but to have it confirmed 🤧 when i was already resigned fjdj baby im so happy for you and your ugly ass boyfriend(i like bkg but that's just the truth)and that his last shoutouts in the last two chapter are about being gay implied? Iconic of him that's my token gay man of the manga atleast we have that...wahh im gonna miss all the kids :( ok ok im done sorry.

Never apologize for sending bnha to me ..... the last remaining kiribaku warriors have to stand together. my worst trait is that after all these years i can't let my hate for bkdk go ToT SORRY. ITS BAD AND THE FANS ARE ANNOYING AND IT SUCKS. kirishima a hero who is popular amongst men you will always be famous ...... token gay man kirishima and his ugly ass boyfriend you will live forever. i think i read that the chapter should be translated tomorrow ..? im not sure. if u wanna send me the kiri panels that would be awesomes cuz i still cant find them lol.

[wolfcrunch]

I'm sorry but reading the reactions to the leaks is really funny 😂 I don't care about the shipping in bnha but these past few years fans have been expecting their ship to be canon when it has always been about having fun and building a community around characters you love. It's surprising though how many really expected a bkdk ending. But what we really need to talk about is this top 10 ranking what is this Mario first? Mt. Lady third? Shoji ninth?? Monoma tenth???

yeah as someone who didnt mind either bkdk or izuocha for which would be more implied canon, i dont rly see an issue with the leaks personally.. but maybe thats because i also kinda removed myself from the fandom and series overall towards the end. still enjoying it but not getting too involved in most discussions especially concerning ships. deku's still my boy tho and to me he'll always be no. 1 so as long as he's happy...

but yeah we need to revise these rankings. mirko and best jeanist need to be higher. remove mirio and shoto entirely. uraraka should be at LEAST top 20. while we're at it momo and iida could be higher too. bakugo... being at 15 is quite funny but also fits bc while he has a great quirk it shows his personality really does hold him back. i honestly think mt lady is one of the most fitting heroes on the list relative to position.

[haleigh-sloth]

I'm curious tho, I don't think it'll happened but what would your reaction be if Horikoshi did throw the ball out there, and made it BKDK that became canon??? I like both ships(but also don't care about ships enough to be fussed with endgame pairings, I'm here for the story and the villains lol), so I've seen both sides and I know for a fact that either way there will be discourse hell even if he made the decision to have no endgames there would be discourse. Anyways, yeah I'm curious what's your thoughts?

I mean I am so separated from the impossible possibility that I can't even tell you what I would think

It's not going to happen

I'm sorry but it's just not. There is no objectively romantic context to anything going on between them, no hint at it being anything beyond repairing a very precious childhood friendship and both together AND separately dealing with their own self-esteem issues.

I'm genuinely shocked at how many people are so wholeheartedly convinced that BNHA is going to magically be the gay awakening of WSJ when there is literally nothing to suggest as much. I don't even know why I'm seriously discussing this either, because the "possibility" is so far removed from anything that is even remotely likely that I don't even know how to give commentary on it.

All I know is that I'm anticipating the "Horikoshi is homophobic" remarks and outrage and unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if it reached levels of harassment of the author, because that's how scary some of the people I've come across on the internet in this fandom are about specifically bkdk. Genuinely concerning some people's online behavior the way they get so fucking aggressive at other people over something so stupid. And I'm not talking about vague posting, I'm talking about legit harassment and doxxing-like behavior.

I hope for a peaceful exit from this manga for the author but I don't see it happening unfortunately. Sending him my best wishes tbh
