A screem of soul. Here I will not trying to be polite here, I just need to vent, and I'd ask those who are particularly sensitive to please go away and not throw a fit about offending your feelings.

I'm pissed of the BakuDeku ship, I'm sick of BakuDeku shippers with their delusional conspiracy theories and cult-like obsession. I seriously don't understand why they need this ship to be canon, why they can't just enjoy their fantasy and not force their bullshit on the entire fandom. Why spread misinformation about Horikoshi planning to make them a couple but being forbidden by his editor, when no official source says anything like that ever happened, and not a single magazine interviewed by him ever mentions it. They talk about it with such certainty, as if Horikoshi came to their house and told them in person. They see evidence of attraction in every sneeze and fart, even if they just glance at each other. Fans always find some subtext in it. I've been in this fandom for a long time, and this parasite always seeps into my info field, no matter how hard I try to avoid it. The author never, NEVER planned them as a couple; he even explicitly stated that he deliberately avoided romance because that's not what the manga is about. I still remember how the BkDk shippers went into hysterics after the release of chapter 431. They all immediately realized there was romantic feelings between Deku and Ochako, but then a mass case of dementia and manic psychosis occurred, and they simply went into aggressive denial and continue to find vague evidence to support the idea that IzuOcha is just friends and BakuDeku is love. But even though all these arguments crumble like a house of cards, it's worth applying a little logic to this, and oh my god, direct evidence from the original source it's never end. If you like your ship, just shut up and stop fucking around. I'm tired of this shit, I have a hard time accepting human idiocy, I just want to enjoy the content I like.

my opinion is that Bakugo donated the bulk of the funds for the development of the suit for Deku, going to incredible hardships for it. I don’t think he lived hand to mouth living in a doghouse with cockroaches and eating instant noodles. It has been said many times that heroes make a lot of money, and top heroes make as much money as pop stars of the first magnitude. For example, Endeavor has a large plot of land with a huge traditional house, a personal driver, and his older children study at prestigious universities, and higher education in Japan means a lot of money. Accordingly, the higher you are in the ranking, the more money you make. Plus, heroes probably get a good percentage from the sale of their merch. At first, when Class A just started their pro careers, no one had money. Most likely, at the very beginning, they financed about the same, and only later, when Bakugo started making enough, but he took on all the expenses. I think he lived at least a comfortable life, but without luxury. In the end, he needs at least a balanced diet to stay in shape. And they invested money not over 8 years, but over 6, since the time skip starts around the beginning of their second year of study.

Change: it turns out that Bakugo did not donate most of the money, but rather led the fundraiser, but Class A donated the money equally. I checked it with the original. Shippers are messing with my head again and I fall for it like a simpleton. Then I can even more clearly say that he lived without denying himself anything.

I'm writing this post because the shippers have made me question my own adequacy time and time again, and the fact that we've been watching the same anime. This isn't a hate-ship post, but rather a refutation post, and why I believe that there are no romantic feelings between Bakugo and Deku, and an explanation of what exactly is going on in their relationship from my point of view. To begin with, the theme of the magic of friendship and the power of friendship to save the world and how friendship is important is in general, is traced through the whole story . Friendship is our pillar in life and friends are our strength and support. It's all written in plain text, and there are no secret messages and everything is pretty obvious, this tittle is not about love, it's about friendship and mutual support. Bakugo and his sudden change of heart towards Deku. The basis of why he changed his rage to mercy towards his rival and why he became so soft with him, and what everyone seems to forget is his guilt. Imagine yourself in his place, you have long hurt the person who was kind to you and believed in you, admired you, and you were just a monster to them, and waking up from this oblivion, getting rid of the veil of your own emotions and delusions you look at your own monstrous actions with a sober eye and think: "God…what have I done?". You feel guilt and remorse for your actions and wish to make amends and punish yourself for your actions. This is exactly what Katsuki feels, he feels remorse and as a counterbalance to his hatred he begins to treat Deku with care and concern. Not because he suddenly showed his 'true' feelings and he loves him and he was just being an evil tsundere and trying to deny his attraction. No. It's guilt, he's felt the depth of the harm he's done to Deku, and he's in heartache. This explains why he cried in the epilogue, finally realizing everything he'd done, remembering the moments of bullying. That's why during the Paranormal Liberation War, he rushed to cover Deku with himself without a second thought. In those infamous "my body moved on its own" moments, it's a "hit or run" or "save or freeze" reflex. The conscious mind can't keep up and the subconscious mind kicks in. And he is driven by feelings of guilt and remorse puts himself at risk, to some extent wanting to punish himself in the same way. At that moment, his own safety didn't matter to him: "I deserve this, this is what I have to pay for." He thought about Deku all the time, he thought about him in the last moments before his death (temporary) because that's what kept tormenting him and the image of Izuku stuck in his mind. So back to the epilogue and the very words that everyone saw as a veiled declaration of love.

At this point, my explanation is as follows: he was emotional, and for that reason he could hyperbolize his thoughts, and besides, he's still a teenager, and teenagers are prone to throwing around big words like "forever", "never" and other maximalistic epithets. He is still a child and does not feel that the years have weight, and the concept of eternity changes with the years, and what once seemed like eternity will later become a piece of life.

Addendum. And so, I completely forgot about Deku's feelings. His feelings for Katsuki are friendship - admiration, and it's stated in the story explicitly. I know exactly what those feelings are because I've had that experience. Imagine that it seemed like the most amazing person, who has all those qualities that you would like to have in yourself, who causes you a sense of awe, you watch everything they say and do with your mouth open and it makes you marvel, and that person is friends with you. I was like Deku back then, a kind of insecure outcast, and that such an amazing person honored me with their attention made me cherish them and be obsessed with them in a way. I'd sell my soul to have them with me forever. It's a lot like falling in love, but no it was exactly admiration underpinned by a sense of loneliness and abandonment, and losing that person was my biggest fear. And I did lose them, they left me because I smothered them with my attention and I went into a long depression. And looking back, it seems like there will never be another person like that in my life, that relationship was unrepeatable. And I see that Izuku has very similar feelings for Katsuki, and it's not romantic feelings, it's admiration and looking up from the bottom up

I have a theory about how Shigaraki's story will end in MHA.

There is one moment that seemed prophetic to me. The moment from the opening of Season 6, where Shigaraki becomes Tenko again, falls at Izuku's feet, and Izuku extends his hand to him.

That is, I think that perhaps Shigaraki will be saved by becoming a child again. It might sound crazy...BUT! Do you remember Eri? So far she hasn't played a major role in the plot other than giving Mirio his quirk back. She is constantly in the background.

I think her quirk Rewind can return Shigaraki to the state before he was injured, namely when he was only 5 years old.

I see that Eri is definitely a Chekhov's gun that definitely needs to go off. Otherwise, why would the Horikoshi hang this gun on the wall?

Osomatsu and Big Brother Syndrome (analysis of character)

Perhaps this is the Matsu who is most afraid of growing up, who wants his carefree life with his brothers to never change. In a sense, HE is one of the reasons why NEET boys are still stuck at the bottom of the social hole, because he is the leader followed by his brothers, and it is his position that influences the rest.

Why exactly the brothers became NEET is a multi-faceted topic for analysis that combines several social and psychological factors, and I will focus on Osomatsu in my essay. Here I will touch on the topic of how the role of an older brother affected him.

To complete the research, of course I should watch Osomatsu-kun, but I will go from what I know.

So, the main problem lies in the model of raising sixtuples chosen by the parents. They are all the same age, the difference in the order of their birth is several minutes, from birth they are equal to each other. It was an extremely strange decision to attach importance to their seniority and build their upbringing on this, so a clear hierarchy inevitably formed between them, with Osomatsu at the head.

Many of those who have younger brothers and sisters are familiar with what it's like to suddenly have a responsibility that you didn't want or ask for (I'm one of them too). In the case of Osomatsu, this seems doubly unfair, because they are gearheads, where the division into seniors and juniors is simply ridiculous.

Childhood is that bright time of our life, where we have no worries, there is nothing to worry about, because there are adults who take care of you and solve your problems. The child does not have this burden of adult life and they can enjoy their time without unnecessary worries.

For parents, the eldest child becomes a kind of substitute for their parents, their little “adult” assistant, he has not yet learned to be responsible for himself, but he should already be responsible for someone else, and no one asks his opinion “you are now the eldest ". As a result, we get a person endowed with the responsibility of an adult, but deprived of the privileges inherent in adults; they are still subject to childhood restrictions.

In the case of Osomatsu, he is the eldest by default at the start. He was deprived of the privileges of a child, the right to be carefree and free from the burden of responsibility.

Throughout the series, he asked a reasonable question: “why the hell am I the eldest, we are sextuplets, we are all the same age!” and it’s hard to disagree with this.

He also repeatedly stated his desire to be an only child, because he lived in constant competition with his brothers; if he were the only one, there would be no competition.

Due to early independence and lack of attention to him as a child from his parents, he had problems with self-determination, and as a result, difficulties in finding his place in life.

On the one hand, he takes on the role of an elder, and on the other hand, he wants to escape from this, tightly clinging to his right to remain a child, which they tried to take away from him. As a result, he was mired in lifelong stagnation.

Karamatsu is not narcissus (analisis of character part 2)

Assuming that Karamatsu's behavior is not entirely a game, then we can assume that he really does have a personality disorder, namely...

Histrionic personality disorder.

This is where the interesting part comes in and why Karamatsu is considered a narcissist when in truth he is not.

The fact is that HRD has similar features to NRD, but has a number of significant differences. The term “narcissist” is much better known than “hysteric”, hence the confusion.

As in the case of NPD, a person’s main need is to always be the center of attention, the personality is also self-centered, however, for a hysteric, receiving attention from others is an end in itself. The narcissist, on the contrary, attracts attention to himself in order to demonstrate his superiority.

The next obvious difference is the absence of problems with empathy. Narcissists can show it, but only externally; internally they are not capable of compassion.

So, who are the hysterics? These are very extravagant, bright personalities who strive to attract attention to themselves in every available way. Moreover, attention can be different from love and admiration to anger and disgust; they will be happy with anything as long as they are noticed. When they are not noticed or ignored it causes discomfort.

Features of behavior. In speech and behavior they are similar to theater actors, they are prone to vivid displays of emotions, their speech is dramatic and, as a rule, figurative, impressionistic, grandiose, but at the same time not specific and contentless. The intonation of the voice is also dramatic, the voice can be comically cartoonish, childish or seductive.

His outrageous behavior most of the time irritates Ichimatsu in particular, while the others try to ignore him. In fact, Ichi reacts more than others to his ridiculous phrases and antics, despite the fact that he expresses this through anger and irritation, but this is still the attention that Karamatsu desperately needs.

Also, the main way to stand out from the crowd is appearance. They choose bright, extravagant, revealing outfits that often border on absurdity. Let's remember his T-shirts with his own face, shiny pants and boots, short shorts and cowboy hats, sunglasses that he wears even at night.

For narcissists, being ridiculous, funny and stupid in the eyes of others is humiliating and like death.

Causes of HRD. Lack or complete absence of attention in childhood and adolescence.

Karamatsu is from a large family in which he could not get enough love and attention from his parents, in high school he was a lonely, quiet child whom no one noticed, he had no friends, which also left a mark on his mind and brought him to creating your dramatic self.

If we briefly compare these two personality types, narcissists are vain, arrogant people who consider themselves to be among the elite, hysterics are clowns who are not ashamed of being clowns.

I'm more inclined to think that he's just pretending. With my analysis I wanted to prove that even pretending Karamatsu does not behave like a real narcissist.

Karamatsu not narcissus (analyse of character part 1)

[Dear reader, you are reading the translation of my original text into English, I hope I didn't mess up the translation too much😅]

Karamatsu is always given this short description. This constantly raised doubts in my mind; in my opinion, although he has some narcissistic traits in his behavior, he is far from a real narcissist.

I decided to look into this issue and did a little psychoanalysis of the character.

Narcissism in psychology is part of the dark triad, which implies negative character traits characterized by malicious intent and a detrimental (sometimes destructive and dangerous) influence on others.

First, let's figure out what narcissism is. I will consider this term at two extremes: as a character trait and as a mental disorder.

Trait. A narcissist is a person with high self-esteem, inclined to exaggerate his talents and achievements, self-centered (aimed at satisfying only his own needs, without focusing on the feelings of other people). As a rule, they tend to manipulate other people to achieve their goals and satisfy their own needs. Empathy is either weak or absent. Cold and sometimes cruel cynics.

Narcissistic personality disorder.

An extreme and painful manifestation of narcissism that develops into a mental illness.

People with NPD consider themselves special, exaggerate their abilities and achievements, exalt themselves in front of other people by belittling and devaluing others. It is important for them to be an object of admiration. They are very sensitive to criticism, since their high self-esteem is very fragile, they are extremely dependent on the opinions of others. They react to a negative assessment aggressively and with contempt, or with condescension and withdrawal into complete denial. Incapable of love and empathy. Narcissists have a vague self-image and invent an ideal persona that everyone should love. For a narcissist, being less than perfect in the eyes of others is unbearable and painful.

From my experience of communicating with such people, I can say that narcissists are cunning bastards, their true nature is difficult to recognize right away. They know how to put you at ease, lull your guard, they flatter you, praise you, show interest, not forgetting to mention how lucky you are to meet such an amazing person like them. And you unconsciously begin to believe them. Then devaluation, manipulation, emotional swings and gaslighting come into play. If you don't notice the trick in time, the narcissist will destroy you.

Their grandiosity is mostly a lie in which they themselves sincerely believe and this reaches the point of delusions of grandeur. With delusions of grandeur, it is simply impossible to convince a narcissist of one’s own imperfection.

So, narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by:

• A persistent pattern of behavior with a sense of self-importance, a need for admiration and a lack of empathy.

This pattern appears when the following signs are present:

• Exaggerated, unreasonable sense of self-worth and talents (yes)

• Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited achievement, influence, power, intelligence, beauty, or ideal love (yes)

• Belief in your own specialness and uniqueness (yes)

• Need for unconditional admiration (yes)

• Exploitation of others to achieve one's own goals (no)

• Feeling of the right to special treatment (possibly partially)

• Lack of empathy (none)

• Envy of others and the belief that others are jealous of them (possibly partially)

• Arrogance (no)

So, many points coincide and we can say with confidence that Karamatsu is really a narcissist, but I will give you arguments to refute this statement.

1. He never manipulated or belittled or devalued other people. He cannot be called arrogant and cynical.

2. One of the fundamental traits of a narcissist is weak or absent empathy. Karamatsu has demonstrated more than once that he is capable of compassion. In 1s in the "flower fairy" ep, he feels pity for Chibita and for the blind girl in 2s 18ep, stands up for Jushi in 1s 24 ep, in 3s 5 ep he was ready to give up on the girl from the pharmacy, seeing Totti's progress in communicating with her, feels sorry for Totoko in 3s when she is depressed about her failed idol career. The narcissist can feign compassion, but in the examples listed there were cases where no one saw him and there was no point in pretending.

3. Despite praising himself (even alone with himself 3s 25ep) he is well aware of his position as a NEET and a virgin, and accepts the fact that he is at the bottom of the social ladder. He acts demonstrably self-confident only around family and friends, but when confronted with other people who are higher in status than him (that is, he recognizes that ordinary people are higher in status than him) (1s sp, 2s beach episode, first film) his self-confidence evaporates. A true narcissist never admits that he is inferior to others.

His unhealthy self-esteem and belief in his own exclusivity are just a mask and self-hypnosis, which already calls into question his status as a narcissist. In addition, there is one important point that is worth mentioning, namely the prerequisites for becoming a narcissist.

Narcissists are people with deep psychological trauma rooted in childhood and adolescence when the child’s psyche is very malleable.

Children of 3 types of parents become narcissists: absentees, when parents do not care at all about their child; parents are sadists, who can also be narcissists (heredity and adoption of the parent’s behavior model also play a role here), upbringing is accompanied by mental and/or physical violence; overprotective parents who plant in the child’s mind the idea that he is the best and unique. Karamatsu does not have these prerequisites.

Thus, I can confidently state that Karamatsu's narcissism is only an image, a fictional personality created as the opposite of what he was like during his school days.

But I won't dwell on this. Assuming that Karamatsu's behavior is not entirely a game, then we can assume that he really does have a personality disorder, namely... continue in part 2
