It could be “kaku” like on the next page, which means “[my] character.” Second, his potential use of “boku” here would be because he’s referring to his “Tenko” self--“boku” was Tenko’s “I” pronoun. Third, the kanji for “boku/kaku” is “genten,” which means “origin.” In other words, if he’s saying “boku” Tomura is calling Tenko his origin, and that’s what he hid somewhere deep inside his heart.)

1 あんたが気付かないように"原点"は内側から自身を取り戻していった あんたがきづかないように"かく"はうちがわからじしんをとりもどしていった anta ga kidzukanai you ni “kaku (kanji: genten)” wa uchigawa kara jishin wo torimodoshite itta “So that you wouldn’t notice, I regained my character (read as: origin) from the inside.”

[obsessive-dumpling]

So, I've been chewing over 379...

But how am I supposed to swallow it?

Ha, that's funny, but also, I'm serious! First of all, Izuku's thoughts have been SCARCE since Katsuki's initial injury in the first battle.

(Which was chapter 285. Nearly 100 chapters ago! That's a long time to not hear from the main character people!)

Second of all, just the sheer implication of it.

"Now that Shigaraki's got his quirks back... I can't afford to fight atop that /tomb/."

What.

What?!

I mean! It's clear that not the entire thought process is present, right? He's blinded by immeasurable grief, while simultaneously chained by obligation to save. But if you think about it, who is he most obligated by? People could say All Might, or the Vestiges, or the whole of Japan/the world at this point, but no. It was Katsuki that he promised to win and save with. It was Katsuki that died to save when he wasn't there.

So, if he's blinded and chained by the same person, how can he see anything else? How can he see the selfishness in this decision?

The answer is simple: he can't.

[is-bakugou-alive-yet]

Bakugou has been dead for 176 days and counting since August 2nd.

[thebroadstreetdarling]

I like Izuku’s strategy here, never let your opponent know your next move - boop them on the nose, kiss them on the cheek - tell them you’re gonna save THEIR ass no matter what it takes.

[suugiart]

Thanks Horikoshi this hurts so much more after the current chapter

[redbluenight]

Deku -> 379: hopes

[mangasstuffcomics]

This should make it clear that kurogiri/shirakumo is asking for shota he's saying sh sh a in exact same way his says it mha 255

Making it clear that shirakumo choose aizawa

[jaded-ghoster]

With all the debate about what Shirakurogiri is actually saying in the translations and who he’s really trying to call out to, I think the best solution is to do exactly what the French translations had done and make it CONFUSING.

The whole point of his mini scene within Shigaraki’s rebellion is to show that he’s having a breakdown of his own between the two sides of his identity: Kurogiri and Shirakumo. This is why, like Rukasu on twitter pointed out (yeah that’s right, I’m citing my sources) the sizing of the katakana changes and he’s switching back and forth between katakana and hiragana. Is he saying “Tomura Sh… Sh… (t)O(mur)AAH” or is he saying “Sh.. Sh.. (Sh)O(t)AAH” and switching between Shota and Tomura? We don’t know! Shirakurogiri doesn’t know either! Hence, I think the official English translation of “Shi… Shi…” which heavily implied he’s trying to say Shigaraki was a very questionable move, because where in the world did they get the letter ‘i’? And I think the French translation’s decision to keep it up to interpretation was the best one they could’ve possibly made. However, with that said, I’d like to inform everyone that MY interpretation is that he’s OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO SAY SHOTA’S NAME AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS ERASERCLOUD FRIENDSHIP’S BIGGEST ANTI.
