Kirishima’s favorite things of “tough guys” is 硬派なもの, which literally means “manly things” but the もの part of this implies “guys.” If you’re curious about the characteristics of a “manly guy” according to a Japanese lifestyle website, here’s a translation:
Characteristics of “tough guys”:
-Treat their partners with respect and are very chivalrous
-Hard on the outside but soft on the inside, with a gentle heart
-Takes his friends seriously
-Always keeps his promises
-Very strict on himself and stoic
-Somewhat narcissistic and full of himself at times
-Never cheats on their lovers, is very devoted to their significant other
-Doesn’t like people who try to hide things from them
-Not good at dealing with complex emotions
-Silent and quiet at times
-Very serious with work
-Doesn’t take shit from anyone
-Always focused on the job
-Sometimes passive
-Will do anything to reach their goals
-Views himself as the boss
-Marries early
-Won’t speak his mind until asked
-Although he looks hard to approach on the outside, he’s actually very kind inside
-Does not talk excessively and gets to the point
-Protects those he loves
-Charm points is his extreme devotion to his lover
-Not exactly the lovey dovey type or a good texter
-Willing to help out his lover overcome problems
-Trustworthy
-Hates liars, hates backstabbers
-Ideal lover
T/N: The reason I chose to translate 硬派なもの as “tough/manly guys” instead of “manly things” is because the もの in this just does not refer to things but people instead. If you enter that in google in verbatim, you get a bunch of search results for dating sites on what are the qualities of a tough guy or a tough girl. So, rather than “manly things,” it could be translated more generically to “manly people,” but for Kirishima and his obsession with manliness, I’m leaning towards “tough guys.” Tell me that these characteristics doesn’t sound like Bakugou lol
