I will never stop being upset at people who notwithstanding their sympathy for the villains still say things such as ‘the villains need to be stopped’; no honey, they do not need to be stopped. They need to be understood, saved and taken care of gently. They are traumatised people who have continuously been driven up the walls until they started smashing through them because they were tired to be oppressed, used, frowned upon, undermined, refused, ignored. They need a hand and a kind word, a blanket for the lonely night spent under the stars wondering whether there is something good out there for them and coming up with no answer, an equal to offer them a hand that is there not because of a duty of a hero, but because they deserve to.

Apologising in chapter 235

First of all I don't really know how 'in norm' that is, and how much of it is just Kotaro's way of being father

But that one thing about 'don't let him in until he apologises' finally connected in my head with a moment from chapter 236

And yeah I don't know if anyone already said it so I don't know if I repeat something known to everyone!

And before we get there it's a sad thing that official English translation decided to translate it differently for some reason both first and second one

And with how it's not so uncommon for chapters to not make sense because of it it's probably that again

In official version Kotaro says that Nao and Tenko's grandparents shouldn't apologise to Tenko for Kotaro, that doesn't make sense especially with how other fan translations didn't choose it

And if you take easiest way and just translate this from original Japanese vers he actually said that Tenko should apologise and only then come home

That makes Nao's worry seem less weird because if it was Tenko's will to go home when he pleases he wouldn't stay outside without any reason

But if it's forbidden until he apologises that makes a little bit more sense

So if we're done explaining why that scene is different actually

It's important that it is, because that directly connects to Tenko trying to speak even if his voice doesn't work

He had to apologise to his Father, otherwise he's not allowed to come home

And with how he stayed outside until dark he probably didn't do it before his Quirk activated

So yeah if that scene didn't feel as bad, with how Kotaro reacted to Tenko's words... he understood why Tenko said it

So the fact that Tenko tried to get help from Kotaro only after apologising makes sense

And fact that Tomura apologised for Kotaro's hand falling is probably not so different from that, so that little rule never really left

And with how hands of his family and his Father allowed him to do everything he wanted with them close

Because he allowed himself to use his Quirk only if they allowed it

AFO said that he controlled himself not even knowing it and that's why

So that moment of Tomura destroying his Father's hand is kinda more powerful knowing this

He didn't need his Father allow him to do anything anymore

Buckle IN folks cause I NEED to talk about how Deku has NEVER valued his existence beyond his heroing ability.

Not as a son

Not as a friend

Not as a student

Not as a clever and quick thinking person

Not as genuinely loving and caring individual

Not as child who’s safety matters

Not as human being with needs and feelings

If that wasn’t enough add the fact that his being a hero isn’t even about him, it’s about what he can do for Other people

Everything he does, every skill he learns, every moment of self care, even his bs’ing around time all loop back to “how can this further me as a hero?” Even the trip to the mall and the pool was rationalized by him for hero stuff. The boy literally does modified wall sits in class and grip strengthening while studying. I have check high and low and the ONLY thing we know about Deku that isn’t hero related is his favorite freaking food!

Heroing could be a life ending career but it’s not a sustainable life long career?!! He’s gonna go down with the ship or be force into retirement with nothing for just himself but some AM merch and KATSUDON???!! Why?!!!

Bakugo wants to be a hero just as bad but he’s got a sense of personhood outside of it.

He wants to be the best at everything he does, not just heroing

We know he likes mt. climbing

We’ve seen that he has some kitchen skills

He can play the drums

He values his education for the sake of being educated

He wants to be a hero to prove himself to himself

When Bakugo said Deku “just doesn’t consider himself” he really meant it down to the most barebones of life. We’ve never seen a single moment of Deku doing something purely for himself just cause it sparked joy.

It’s hard to see at first because of Bakugos extreme and unhealthy behavior, but he’s actually not completely at fault for how their relationship broke down. I mean how do you even start to get close to someone like that?

Yes, Deku held out his hand but it’d be like grabbing at smoke. Dekus the kind of individual that they’ll be your everything friend, would give you the shirt off his back, but it doesn’t feel like you can be his(Iida actually says I wanna be there for you like you were for me and we ain’t heard from our speedy boi since) like you wouldn’t even know they’re struggling until it’s too late.

Bakugo has a hard time accepting help but it’s always very clear when he needs it. Deku is damn near in capable of realizing he needs it, just fully accepted that he’d have to shatter his limbs a few dozen times to master OFA and that it was on him to do so and everyone around him except RG and Aizawa(who’s main point was your not useful if your down) also accepted this. If I’d been Dekus friend I’d have lost my fucken mind, and Bakugo DOES in the first Deku vs Kacchan

Look at his face, he’s god damn horrified! Not only did he lose the match but Dekus arm is ruined

He’s clearly upset as he looks up at the disctrution and sees how Deku played him

But when the smoke settles and he sees what Deku looks like he completely freezes, looks like he’s having an out of body experience honestly.

It’s not until after AM victory screeches “HERO TEAM WINS”🥳 and Dekus already being carted off broken and unconscious to the nurse to be safely rebuilt that he actually starts the whole “if we went all out” panic attack rant. I think Bakugo doubles down on his inferiority/superiority complex simply because that’s 3x easier to deal with than trying to wrap your head around whatever tf Dekus got going on with his idol and blowing up his fucken limbs.

Bakugo tries to build a fortress to keep people out, Deku freely gives you a key to his quaint little cottage heart but he’s never home.

Dabi is a powerhouse. People don't understand how hot his flames are: to cremate a body you'd need around 980ºC/1800ºF for almost 3h yet he burned that group of villains in seconds and that's not even close to unhinged Touya from the current chapters.

Yep! He really IS a powerhouse, and that's the tragedy in his writing. During his backstory, it was mentioned that the fire at Sekoto Peak burned at about 2k degrees Celsius. CELSIUS, not Fahrenheit. That's about double the heat you need to cremate a human body in a crematorium. And Dabi can reach those extreme temperatures stupidly fast:

Faster than his little brother, in fact, despite, or maybe because, of Shouto's natural predisposition to balance his two sides. My guess is that Shouto is slower because his genetic make up has some kind of built-in safety setting that helps him avoid freezing or burning cold turkey, while Touya doesn't have anything of the sort. That way, it's possible for Dabi to reach those temperatures at the drop of a hat, even at the expense of his physical wellbeing. To make a different comparison, Dabi's like a Ferrari with no brakes. He has the parts and the tech to pump the gas and zoom faster than most, but once he does that, he also has no way to cushion the crash.

The interesting part about this is that the heroes realize that his sheer firepower is insane. Enough so that they are specifically wary of Dabi, and judge him as a threat on a mass scale on par with Shigaraki and AFO. They give him his own pin and make room for countermeasures to deal with his quirk.

Of course, the only reason why Dabi is now so dangerous is because he doesn't care anymore about surviving the battle, and thus can go full out without having to think of the aftermath. But because the heroes only see him as a powerhouse, as a generic threat that needs disposing, they can only focus on all the people he has the ability to hurt

But not on the fact that this insane firepower is hurting Touya as well. Only Shouto seems to recognize that, and for that, I'm glad he's the one fighting him

sometimes i remember that katsuki fucking bakugou, the boy who once reveled in selfish power and violence, is now canonically desperate to keep izuku midoriya safe, so much so that he’d risk his life and tear open his own wounds and spill his heart out in front of their class; that katsuki unequivocally values izuku - izuku, the boy, the human, his clumsy otaku childhood friend, not deku the symbol - more than life itself… and then i go a little feral

I already don’t like All Might bashing but nothing annoys me more than the specific brand of All Might bashing where All Might furiously discriminates against quirkless people.

When All Might tells Izuku that he doesn’t think someone without a quirk can be a hero? Most of his answer is about himself. He is the quirkless kid who became a hero and he is now horribly alone, depressed, has PTSD, too many organs lost in action and a husk of his former self while the pressure of being the number 1 hero is grinding down on him as he is losing more and more time to use his quirk every day while being extremely aware that criminality staying as low as it is fully depends on him being the number 1 hero.

When Izuku asked him if he could be a hero, All Might probably had a magnificent flashback to his whole life and couldn’t, in good conscience, tell someone so similar to him to follow the same path because of all the hardship he went through.

Izuku being the only one to help during the second Sludge villain attack didn’t make him realize that “Even someone without a quirk has the potential to be a hero!” but it made him remember what heroism really is about.

BNHA LN3: Ch. 3 Thoughts & Impressions

Volume 3: Ch. 1, Ch. 2, Ch. 3, Ch. 4, Ch. 5, Ch. 6

In which Monoma decides to invite himself into the 1-A dorms and get to know more about the 1A students. To inspect! To scout for weaknesses to exploit! To…hang out? He keeps changing his story. Who knows for certain. But we do get a bit of all of those, with Monoma checking the boys’ rooms at 1-A and 1-A getting to see a few of the rooms at 1-B’s dorm, and later the two classes playing the pirate-pop-up game with some Hatsume flare to it.

It starts off with Monoma forcing his way in the dorm and ‘inspecting’ class A’s dorms, claiming to see how their buildings are different. Around the time he checks Kirishima’s room, Kendo shows up to put him in his place and control him, accompanied by Tsunotori - who tipped Kendo off to Monoma’s schemes - and Tetsutetsu - who accompanied the two girls to class 1-A’s dorms to make sure they’re safe, despite the buildings being right next to each other (he’s a good boy. I’d like to imagine Kirishima would do the same if the girls were to visit Class 1-B’s dorms).

sorry if uve answered this before but do you consider the light novels canon too? or only the Manga installments written directly drawn/written by HK?

I consider it "canon-adjacent".

It has small tie-ins into the manga - like the Shouto-chapter of running into Hatsume and Recovery Girl before he re-builds his room Japanese style or in Novel 5, where the boys find the mysterious tunnels that are very probably part of Nezu's new security system or the study session in Momo-palace.

The Light Novels fit around the manga, and I think some of the stronger chapters do contain material that Horikoshi had thought of while outlining the story, but ultimately decided against including into the manga, for wanting to move the plot along.

Sometimes they become though taken over by manga events. Like in the first LN there is a parents' day, where Fuyumi participates, yet in Ch 249 she introduces herself to Deku and Bakugou like they never met. So little things like that feel sometimes "off" especially if you re-read early chapters.

I'm also not always convinced with the LN characterization, although it's always very light, very vanilla, and sticks very much to the most obvious traits of the characters. But that's precisely why as the plot moves along, it starts to feel very stale, magnifying certain aspects of characters until they are almost a caricature of themselves (like Shouto being clueless or Bakugou being angry), and very much shying away from showing the growth the main manga shows.

Even in the latest LN, while it tries to show Bakugou's thought process on Deku's growth, I think it felt really childish and a back-step compared to the Bakugou we saw in Ch 284 whose reflection carried a very facing-reality-with-no-excuses gravitas. Or take the Eri-chapter, where Bakugou still apparently struggles how to deal with children, when we saw him ace this several months ago in the Remedial arc. Or how Shouto "spams ice mindlessly" in a timeline when he's focusing on mastering flashfire or apparently freezes a vulnerable-to-cold Froppy, when he's introduced as a character who is extremely aware of the damage his ice can do as early as his first manga appearance.

So I read the LN for the odd fun fact, or the rare conversations that really feel like adding to relationships I wish the manga covered more (the Shouto-Natsuo chapter for example) but I very liberally discard things I don't like or don't fit with my "feel" of the characters.

If you want good reflections on canon vs not-canon in the BNHA universe, I recommend these Twitter threads: Caleb’s take and this thread by Shibuyasmash

I do consider the sketches themselves canon though - as those are from Horikoshi. So even if parts of the story don’t make sense, those singular moments sketched and the little details they contain (like Shouto drinking strawberry milk), I consider to be canon.
