Buddy Daddies - Episode 12 -SPOILERS! Family? - Let’s Talk About That Photo Scene!
A lot of people found this moment a bit odd. Kazuki and Rei look at each other (faces seeming a bit frowny) and Rei asks, “Family?” This question does seem a bit odd doesn’t. After all, they’ve been a family for 10 years, Rei even told his father that he wanted to become a true family with Kazuki and Miri, so why this response to a photo?
Well, let’s rewind a bit! Right before this moment we have this:
Miri standing in the middle of Kazuki and Rei and a little in front of them. This is their usual picture setup:
In Episode 9 for her Field Day Gold Medal Win:
In Episode 12 for her Daycare Christmas Party:
In Episode 12 (Bulletin Board) for her Junior High School Graduation:
This is their family photo setup and dynamic for pictures. And as Miri has gotten older, they’ve also placed a bit more distance between themselves and her. This makes sense. They are Miri’s papas, yes, but they are still papas and she is still an awkward pre-teen girl in junior high school. So, there may have been times when she felt she wanted a bit more space between them all. Also, as children age in Japan, skinship - physical affection - tends to lessen as well. So, as she got bigger and they didn’t need to hold her as close anymore, the distance in their photos got bigger.
So, in more recent years it seems like they may have gotten used to standing a bit farther apart from themselves and Miri in family photos. So, Miri’s insistence that they need to scoot together more, and Kazuki just being like, “It’s fine like this.” And then her insistence that it isn’t, then kind of makes the two of them look at each other. They are a bit confused now, because it has gone against what they’ve gotten used to.
Rei also tends to express his thoughts, especially if he is confused or uncertain about something, in more limited ways (single words, parroting, etc.). So, him questioning Miri, himself, and Kazuki here when it comes to what they consistute as “family” in regards to taking photos together just comes out as:
“Family?”
Then Kazuki acts like his usual self and goes all in:
And this is the result of their new family photo set up:
At least, for Miri’s high school years and as long as she is using a selfie stick, lol. But, much like everything else in the show, there is a focus here on change. As Miri enters different stages of her life, their family, it’s dynamic, and even how they do things like take photos and pose - all of that will continue changing, with Kazuki and Rei smiling right there beside her.
Before, Kazuki and Rei were on either sides of her - protecting her. But she is teenager now. She has more independence and won’t need that same level of protection and looking after. So we see her off on her own a bit, while Kazuki and Rei finally connect on a physical touch level that they’ve never done before.
Like, that’s practically a hug (and Miri looks quite pleased about that, lol). It’s almost like another development for Kazuki and Rei too, another level for them to move on to and get used to (obviously, Rei isn’t quite used to it yet, he tends to take a bit more time to adjust). It’s fun to think about how their family photos will grow and change as Miri ages, if she gets any significant others herself, has any kids, etc. There structure and dynamic will just keeping evolving and changing.
The full version of SHOCK plays during this whole 10 years later sequence, and the lyrics really do match up with this.
“Let’s live our lives, loving and being loved.”
So sick of hearing bs from dudebros that minimise Katsuki's importance to the plot.
Katsuki IS the central plot.
I'm not kidding. This is an enemy to lovers romance set in a superhero world.
And our hero doesn't have to be conciously aware of they're in a romance story with their antagonist from the beginning. They in fact, typically, don't get it.
Now any half-serious writer knows about 'The Hero's Journey'. A guide to plotting out the narrative and developing the protoganist.
Every hero has to follow this. A writer may wiggle some things around to spice it up, but this is the blueprint they have to cover. It sets the entire plot direction. The purpose of our hero's story.
What's unusual is that the plot in MHA is deliberately misdirected by a dream to be a hero, and an eventual showdown with AFO. But I'm going to tell you the central plot is:
Protect/Save Katsuki.
He must win over Katsuki, be equal to Katsuki, and ultimately save Katsuki.
Our protagonist refuses to voice this desire, but he is very aware (now). He does reach a moment of clarity and self-honesty (after lying about why blackwhip was activated), and from that moment on, we lose all narrated insight of his thoughts about Katsuki.
The story moves forward as though it's something else, but still critically revolves around the two of them. Everything else that happens is a sub-plot for other character development, or a plot-driver for their relationship.
What steps are in The Hero's Journey that make me think this?:
Introduction -Ordinary World
Call to Action/Adventure
Refusal of Call
Meet The Mentor
Accepting the Call/Crossing the Threshold
Let's have a look:
First we have an Introduction: Ordinary World. The world as it is in the beginning for our protoganist, inlcuding our first insights into their existing problems and inadequacies. Things they will need to overcome by the end of the story.
And here's Izuku's Ordinary World:
Izuku's ordinary world is introduced with his terrible relationship with Katsuki, and his quirkless inadequacy that feeds into this. He is not born equal to others, and most critically, not equal to Katsuki.
Next is Call to Action (Adventure). The hero is compelled to rise to meet the crisis.
Izuku's Call to Action:
Someone is dying. It's Izuku's fault. He knows someone has to act right now.
Refusing The Call: He doesn't act, he waits for a hero.
But hold up, you'll notice on our Hero's Journey wheel what is supposed to happen next is Meet The Mentor.. But this step has happened already! We know Izuku meets All Might before any of thjs happens. What the?..
Yes. Horikoshi subverted the Hero's Journey by having Izuku meet All Might BEFORE The Call to Action. And All Might REJECTS him.
But wait,
Accepting The Call:
Despite resolving to give up on his dream to save people, accepting he will never be equal to Katsuki, Izuku answers The Call by saving Katsuki.
All hesitation is gone, *because* it's Katsuki. The turning point. That's his whole reason. The Call is Katsuki, and he answers.
Some are going to argue that it's because of his 'save me' eyes, and it could have been anyone needing saving. If that's true, then Horikoshi could have made it anyone else. But he didn't, because it had to be Katsuki to set and drive the plot.
Narration: There were any number of reasons [one of is simply "Kacchan"]. But at that moment...
"YOU..."
"You look like you needed saving."
The first "You.." in a bubble all on it's own, is not an accident. There are no accidents in storytelling. It's the answer.
"There were any number of reasons. But in that moment... You..."
The Call is not becoming a hero, because Izuku never refused to be a hero. He has PURSUED being a hero his whole life. Aggressively. Painfully. Dellusionally.
He is ALREADY a schoolyard hero -even getting beaten to defend others. It's a huge dream, and Izuku will wreck himself over it, but it's not The Call.
It serves as his growth journey to become worthy and equal, and it's a high-stakes commonality to develop the relationship with Katsuki. There's plenty of subplot, explosions, noise and badassery here to enjoy as well. It also decoys and distracts the angsty-gay-romance adverse very nicely.
Just like in a romance novel where the main character is driven to be the greatest pole vaulter, etc, 'pole vaulting hero' is not THE central plot point, or The Call -even if she has self-doubts at any point about pole-vaulting.
The central plot is the relationship. Always. Pole-vaulting is shared high-pressure to grow as a person, and critically develop the bond with her sexy, amazing, but unreasonably angry, rival, pole vaulter. It's a vehicle. It could just as easily be professional dancer, marketing executive, whatever. As long as it drives the relationship.
Back to Izuku. He may have been heroic "saving" Katsuki, but it was also kind of pathetic. He doesn't "win" Katsuki over, or prove he is equal. Katsuki rejects him immediately.
No hero wins without a boatload of growth and suffering first.
Then we get a do-over of Meet The Mentor. And this time All Might accepts him, praising him as worthy of his dream, because Izuku had already fulfilled Answering The Call.
He gets to be a hero. Most importantly, he gets to go to UA with Katsuki. I don't mean to undermine his growth as a hero, but this career's main point is to drive the physical and emotional stakes skyhigh.
So with the acceptance of The Call, our journey to equality and saving Katsuki, has officially begun...
Katsuki of course, continues to aggressively reject him, but Izuku won't let him go his own way, or back down.
Even as their relationship develops, they won't stop emotionally tormenting each other, even though it's unintentional. Relationship conflict and saving Katsuki is the whole point. Finding their EQUAL place beside each other will be the resolution.
And that's exactly how it's playing out now. They are both in a crisis phsyically and emotionally. Katsuki is at death's door, and emotionally has gone too far in his view of their respective worths, now viewing Izuku as his superior (ref apology). Not equal.
Izuku is making desperate decisions to save Katsuki, like fighting on the ground to keep Katsuki out of the battlefield. He is also aggressively fighting his feelings, because he doesn't believe their feelings are the same.
Saving Katsuki and equality of worth, feelings, and abiliity, will have to be resolved for the story's climax. So I expect we are waiting for below:
*Izuku must save Katsuki.
* Izuku reveals he has been very flawed. Not superior. Eg. Lying. His secret feelings. Losing control. Leaving Katsuki vulnerable. He apologises. They both accept they are both flawed and have hurt each other, but remain each others' hero.
*They realise their romantic feelings are the same. Katsuki will ultimately bridge the gap.
* Katsuki will also need to save Izuku to restore equality.
* They will win the war because they work together, equally important to the victory.
* Enjoy peace and working together dor bright future side by side.
I'm rambling now, but...
There is a strong secondary plot arc, and sub plots. They are ultimately pot-stirrers to our central plot which really is: Protect/Save Katsuki. It is.
Protect/Save Katsuki is why the audeince has akways felt such a sense of unease about Katsuki's vulnerability and safety, despite the rough exterior, because it's the plot. You're supposed to be invested like this.
And Horikoshi continues to naturally progress the narrative along, by repeatedly putting Katsuki in increasing levels of stakes/danger (insulted, kidnapped, speared, "dead").
It's why Izuku had to fail repeatedly to save him, he narratively MUST fail until our climax.
It's why Izuku is increasingly torn up inside, and out of control in his heart to protect Katsuki, because Katsuki is his goal. He had to become increasingly emotionally obsessed with Katsuki as progression to match the increasing stakes to Katsuki's life.
It's also why Katsuki had to grow to love Izuku over time, and then goes too far in his respect/guilt over him as the climax draws near (superior/inferior). He reverses Izuku always chasing him, and instead longs to catch up to Izuku. To be equal, narratively, he should have extreme, tumultuous feelings and experiences to match Izuku's own, so he does.
He is concurrently responding to the same increasing stakes against Izuku's life. He develops a desperate need to also save Izuku. Equal. Equal. Equal.
As clearly identified in our introduction, Normal World, Izuku will need to have fully developed self-worth, and be equal in ALL respects to finally protect Katsuki. Katsuki must equally grow and reciprocate all of it.
MHA is ultimately:
Trails of Love Hori's been paving down in the build up for the series' ending
Part II: Decoding the love story being told through other characters
<- Part One | Part Two -> Gentle & La Brava I will now be talking about the other characters that have helped Hori tell his story. Part II of this meta will be released in multiple posts.
.•° ✿ °•. ❀。II. Intro ❀°。 ೋღ
Now we're going to be taking a deep dive into various moments left behind in Hori's trails. Something that a lot of these moments have in common with each other is how out of place they felt. I think the reason why these things felt out of place at the time is because Hori intentionally inserted a lot of these moments and dialogues into the manga for a very specific hidden agenda. This hidden agenda has always been BKDK and Hori has been doing everything he can to get their romance through to the finish line.
Horikoshi knew he wasn't able to tell BkDk's love story through Izuku and Katsuki's actions and POVs alone... and during his manga's infancy, he couldn't directly spell out the nature of their feelings *just yet*, but he still wanted to lay them on thicker, since BkDk couldn't become canon just out of nowhere. There needed to be an explanation for them. A build up.
And if BkDk couldn't come out and explicitly say how they felt about each other, then Hori's other characters in the manga would simply have to do it for them. That's why the implementation of these moments in the main HeroAca story at times felt a little unnatural.
My intention with this meta is only to show you some of the curious and fascinating moments in the manga, that have the potential to be another moving cogwheel piece of Hori's larger BkDk agenda.
We'll work our way through them one by one until the very final boss BkDk need to defeat for their happy end. (Gentle and La Brava played a huge role in this meta, so look forward to them in the next post!)
.•° ✿ °•. ❀ 1. Compress ❀°。 ೋღ
Up until this very moment with Compress, I didn't even consider the possibility of Izuku being in love with Katsuki. As someone who personally loves displays of possession when it comes to showing love, this one really stuck out to me as an odd insertion in the manga. Because did Compress really need to respond to it? Really?
Sure, by itself, Izuku saying "Give him back." is actually more than fine. They're childhood friends. Despite all of Katsuki's flaws, Izuku is still able to acknowledge all of the amazing things about him and clearly cares. Of course he doesn't want anything bad to happen to him. I could give him a pass for it... if it had been just this alone.
But when we add in this additional input of Compress's reaction, calling out Izuku’s “give him back” with a "He's not yours, you damn egotist," bringing specific attention to what Izuku just said, and him responding by doubling down with yet another impassioned “Give him back!”, things change DRASTICALLY.
We're left wondering what Hori's intentions really were with this interaction that plunged a platonic at best BkDk into the deeper, murkier waters of something a little more vague, at least on Izuku's end.
Pass removed, Izuku.
Next Part -> Gentle & La Brava
Has anyone else become EXTREMELY more picky about BkDk fics recently? Like you can’t enjoy them as much as you used to because of how high canon’s put your expectations?

Hey idk if this person has a tumblr but I wanted to share this meta from twitter. It went into more detail about things I’ve mentioned related to manga publication and uses that context to interpret how a certain ship appeared to be endgame in the early days. Check it out!
Unrelated, this also made me realize that the title of this manga might better be referred to as “My Hero: Academia” rather than “My Hero Academia.” Because yeah I remember Horikoshi said in his one video recorded interview that the decision to make it about high schoolers was purely a business one.
I just keep thinking about a bkdk reunión.
Like will there be a moment of shock and silence when they see each other again?
Will they run to hug each other inside of OFA or will Katsuki remain injured?
Will there be crying from both Izuku AND Katsuki???
WILL KATSUKI FINALLY SMILE AT IZUKU?!!???
Will they confess their love?…
I mean, I just can’t stop thinking about it.
Since we just got the season 7 confirmation, and although we’re still not done the last arc in the manga, I’m curious to see what everyone thinks before we get any official announcements:
How should the BNHA anime adapt the rest of the manga?
Everything adapted in season 7 (extended length)
Star and Stripe + U.A. Traitor arcs in season 7, then Final War Arc in season 8
Star and Stripe + U.A. Traitor arcs in season 7, then a Final War Arc movie
The manga won’t end with the Final War Arc/we’ll get more than 8 seasons

Currently obsessing over the possibility of AFO possessing bakugou in the endgame and the potential to get scenes where AFO taunts izuku like this
When of course we know that AFO is aware of how much they care about each other (and that AFO can’t be lied to)—
The possibility then that AFO uses bakugou’s body to expose izuku down to his emotional core, or to reveal certain truths… It’s a goldmine of angst potential
Also, can we please take a moment and imagine the kind of expression bakugou is gonna have on his face
Because it's doubly good if it's not the usual taunting face he's had before
If it's slightly hooded, almost sensual in a way
But all wrong, with 0 vulnerability for himself while afo's words cut izuku open and leave him bleeding and raw
