#i don't think that this necessarily means that deku has explosion

That's his hand babe, he's gonna yeet the vestiges into shiggy!!

See, I've had a few other people tell me that, which completely makes sense. But, I was more focussed on how the star looked like something familiar

Something very familiar

Bakugou Apologized and I Have Some Constructive Criticism

So, I read the fan translation for Bakugou's apology, and I figured I'd analyze it to the best of my ability. Well, not analyze, more like give my opinion on it.

I want to start off by saying that I'm not an anti. I'm I'm a stan either. I'm tagging this as both, though because I want to hear every side, and think about everyone's opinions so that I can make sure mine is the best it can be.

Also yes, I know it's fan translated and that the official will probably be different, but I wanted to have fun and do it anyway🥰

Please note that this is my opinion. You are more than welcome(in fact encouraged) to tell about your own opinion in the replies, but please be respectful.

Everything I write here is to be read in the most respectful and kind tone. It's how I was meaning for it to be read. I'm sorry if it doesn't come off that way, but please know I am in no way trying to be rude with anything I say.

Now then, let's get started.

First of all, he starts out with a bit of an insult "you were always far behind me" thats not true, but it's Bakugou's opinion. I'm not sure I like how he states it as fact. "You were always so far behind me." Rather than "I used to think you were always so far behind me." or "I thought you were so far behind me."

Bakugou does, however, imply that him looking down on Izuku because of him being quirkless is wrong, and I think that's awesome.

After this, he starts giving a reason(a pretty illogical one, in my opinion) as to why he bullied Deku. Bakugou felt that Izuku was somehow miles ahead of him. Next he goes into what he felt, why he felt the need to hurt Izuku. It's because of something he was feeling. And of course, how could you talk about that with someone? Especially being immature and at that age(around five or so). He didn't have to talk about it, but hurting someone is never the option(we knew this already).

Next he talks about how he was distant. And OK, that's good. He should have been distant.

Except he wasnt distant.

I can admit that on normal circumstances Bakugou didn't go out of his way to speak to Midoriya, but when Deku would speak to/compliment him, insults were thrown. Bakugou should have been distant then. Also, "I grew up distant and always tried to beat you down" are contradictions to eachother, imo. Bakugou, back in middle school, went out of his way to bully deku. That's not distant. Now back when they were small, yes. I'd say Bakugou was kind of distant. He still made fun of Izuku though, so he probably wasn't as distant as he thinks he was.

Next he talks about he could never truly be superior to Deku, how he always lost. But this is(in my opinion), unnecessary. He's giving all these reasons as to how things didn't work out for him, and that last part being placed well....last kinda makes it seem like because everything didn't work out right, he's sorry. I know this isn't how its meant, but I feel it could have been worded differently. I can't help but wonder, though, if Izuku had submitted, if Bakugou had been superior in his own eyes, if he'd succeeded, would he still be sorry?

In alot of cases, though, Bakugou succeeded in beating Midoriya down(temporarily). Physically anyway(the final exam, and when he impaled Izuku with his headpiece).

(Note: A differing opinion has lead me to think differently about this. Bakugou had become distant in an emotional sense, he and Deku weren't as close as they were before. No longer besties, if you understand me.)

At least, after this, Bakugou explains that he realizes nothing he said really matters. I like that he can understand this, and I appreciate that he feels Izuku is owed an explanation at least. The one thing I hate about this is that his reasoning for doing what he did is longer than his apology. His apology is one line.

It's just one. If someone told me that they put me through hell because of an idea they'd placed in their own head that was so incredibly far from the truth(like Bakugou saying that he thought Izuku was looking down on him during their first battle at Ground Beta), I wouldn't feel any better. As a matter of fact, I'd feel worse about it. There is literally nothing Izuku could have done to prevent the bullying. Even if he wasn't quirkless, Bakugou back then, might not have been able to fathom the idea of someone being even a little better than him. So he probably still would have bullied Deku. Only this time Izuku might have been able to fight back depending on the quirk he would have been born with.

If someone murdered my mother, and stood in court explaining why, far more than being sorry, I wouldn't be any happier. Yes, the reason matters, but the amount of time you spend explaining the reason should be virtually nonexistent compared to the time you spend showing remorse and sorrow.

I very much enjoy how he understands that Izuku wanting to leave UA and go it alone wasn't necessarily wrong. I think Bakugou is correct here. Nice Bakugou, very cool.

I'm also very happy that Izuku apologizes for saying that everyone couldn't keep up. Very cool, Izuku.

Please don't get me wrong, though. I'm proud of Bakugou for even bringing this up regardless of how he did it. I think that Bakugou apologizing is a huge step in the proper direction. I cant help but be concerned over how he'll be different in the future though.

Well, why would I be worried about this? Because he's shown promise before, but soon after goes back to being pretty rude. Bakugou explained to that child that looking down on others would prevent him from realizing his own weakness "If you keep looking down on everyone, then you won't notice your own weakness."(My Hero Academia Episode 80(sub): Relief For License Trainees -16:00). Yet, he continued to look down on others in a sense, even as recently as the Endeavor Training Arc. Bakugou's arrogance continues, even when he realizes that looking down on others is wrong. He claims that Todoroki could never notice something he didn't already notice(My Hero Academia Episode 103(sub): One Thing at a Time -7:18). And when he claims that Endeavor, the Number 1 Hero, is ripping off of his style "He's copying my Explosion" (My Hero Academia Episode 103(sub): One Thing at a Time -6:50).

Truly, I hope Bakugou's arrogance and negative confidence will subside, and we'll be able to witness him being blatantly and openly kind to others. I'm not asking Bakugou to change his character, he could become an Inosuke(Demon Slayer) of sorts. He could even become a more obvious Tsundere, with the narrative showing his thoughts and agreeing with him actually caring in a more obvious fashion.

But, that's just what I think

Once again, feel free to comment your opinion on my criticisms of Bakugou's apology, or even tell me what you think about it! I love hearing differing opinions.

Okay, one question: Where are the limits of Momo's quirk? I mean...theoretically she should be able to produce water, fire, grow a third arm or wings, horns,..., shouldn't she? And is she able to control the speed of production? Could she shoot a bullet out of her hand? And how detailed do you think she could make things? Could she make a book? With writing in it?

Sorry, I just need an output, you don't have to post this

I just had a shit day and need to think about something else and this is interesting so let’s talk about it! I also get to gush about one mf my fave MHA girls too! 

Heres the wiki description of her quirk taken from Chapters 11 & 72 of the manga

Apart from living things, Momo has the potential to replicate virtually any object, no matter how complex or advanced its structure may be. She only requires to understand the atomic configuration of said object in order to reproduce it: she first imagines the necessary parts, followed by the materials, then the assembling process and, finally, the coating.[1] Momo's creations emerge from her body with a blue and pink glow and are otherwise no different from the regular objects they are based of, although she can customize the materials that form their composition, giving them whole new properties.

Momo doesn't necessarily have to completely dispense a creation from her body either, having the choice to materialize only half or more of its functional structure, while the rest remains within her person. This is useful for situations where she has to quickly maneuver said creation or herself around, or if both her hands are currently occupied with some other task.

Momo's body breaks down fat at a molecular level, which will then be re-used as material for her to shape into objects with her Quirk.[2] Because of this, a considerable ingestion of food is necessary for Creation to be effective.

Okay to address the first part! She could technically produce all those things except for the 3rd arm, and her production of the wings and horns wouldn’t be in the traditional sense of animal wings and horns (because she cant produce organic material and wings have bone and horns tend to be made out of keratin) 

Water:  the atomic structure of water isn’t something intricate and if your a chemistry addict you’ll probably know it. Water is also inorganic. So YES! She can make water

Fire: This one is a little more complicated cus fire in its elemental form doesn’t have an atomic structure (or any real structure?? Fire just kinda is??) But, technically she could make fuel ( paper, wood, anything flammable) and an accelerant (gasoline, ex) and assuming she can imagine the way the 2 atomic structures would interact she could create fuel coated in an accelerant (ex. a log covered in gasoline). But then she would also have to create something like a lighter or something to ignite the fire and this would have to be created independently of an accelerant coated fuel source. So the process would be 2 steps but could happen technically! 

Wings, horns: She could make a mechanical version of these out of anything she wanted to, and she could have them appear right out of her skin because she doesn’t need to materialize an objects entire functional structure. 

As for the speed of her production I assume that’s something she could train? The same way Bakugo was seen training his explosion output during the training camp? The larger objects take a lot out of her but I assume that she could potentially make several Large objects consecutively in an attempt to speed up her production?

Technically she couldn’t shoot a bullet out of her hand?? Unless she had the ability to simultaneously make a bullet and a gun and could perfectly imagine the bullet in the chamber of the gun and had at least half of the gun protruding from her hand?? I’m inconclusive on this point based on the info we have on her quirk at the moment. 

Assuming that I’m right and she can make a log covered in gasoline by imagining the way the two atomic structures interact I guess she could make a book with writing? But I’d assume that this would take way longer than it would for her to make a blank book and an excessive amount of her concentration. She’d have to think of the way the paper and graphite interact on every single page for every single word.

I hope that helped???? I kinda just saw this in my ask box and knew I had to throw my thoughts in the ring for this. Momo has the potential to be not only the most versatile hero (search and rescue, natural disaster & combat) but also like the strongest hero in the show. I genuinely think that she’d be able to beat both Bakugou and Deku if she believed in her self a bit more. I also think that she’d learn a lot by helping power loader around the support shop because she’d get a better more intricate understanding of the assembly of items and the parts they’re made out of. If she gives up on being a hero she’d be an AMAZING support item maker
