 “ua produces the best heroes! all might! the most popular hero in the country! endeavor! arguably the best hero by numbers! best jeanist! has given himself awards for being himself for almost a decade!”

bakugo: you’re from a private school? guillotine the bourgeoisie

it was rly interesting to see the lil changes from initial to permo designs! denki grew his hair out and mina’s hair got more gravity defying after this pic

hey quick question. what

ima be real with you the next ten pics are just aizawa being hot so i will skip them in this recap

Block Boy

i thought this was SO fucking neat ppl’s costume design reqs really say a lot about them. bakugo being a bastard as per usual.

i CANNOT get over how stoic this kaminari is. he is serving Serious Protagonist Looks which is so funny bc he spends the entire series being a certifiable dweeb who has never been cool and collected in his life

RISING FROM THE ASHES............ THIS POSE. THIS POSE. THIS POSE.

all of these notes.... i love. go for the full 90, kid. explosively petty. pull up your damned pants. also love the confirmation that his hands are callused as SHIT. 

Baby’s First Serious Blow To The Superiority Complex

ok but u don’t think it’s a little sad for bakugo? like genuinely asking bc ik im not normal

i think you're thinking of this page & ending, but i think i read is as much kinder than most people, at least from what I've seen go down on twitter but I don’t think it’s particularly sad?

Opinion under a read more since it’s p long sorry let’s just kill me

I think most people read this scene as one marked by rejection because bakugo thinks of deku as a special person and looks at him while deku turns around and leaves, but I think the paneling of this page says sth else

idk I like the contrast of deku walking away from bakugo in a sequence of small panels vs bakugo getting one big, static panel of him just standing there. I think this and the fact that he’s being pretty vulnerable in this chapter tells us that regardless of where deku goes in life, bakugo’s going to wait for deku to catch up to him again. I can’t read this goodbye as a symbolically final one when this back and forth has marked their relationship since preschool, it makes sense for them to spend their 20s on trying to figure out a good balance where they’re both happy.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing that deku sticks to teaching or wants to start dating and i think this chapter made it clear that neither would bakugo as long as deku makes these choices with his own happiness in mind. Bakugo tells deku to pay attention to what’s important to him, who is important to him, and to express that more. the fact that deku’s first act influenced by bakugo’s words isn’t one directed at bakugo himself isn’t anything tragic. i read this special person conversation less centered on who the special person is and more about deku giving these things a thought.

I think bakugo notices more than anyone else that the war has changed deku, and while you can def read bakugo’s statement as a plea for deku to notice romantic feelings or whatever, i think he just wants deku to be happy again and it is up to deku to find out what and who makes him happy, that’s not bakugo’s choice to make, but he’s ready to deal with any choice deku makes because he just cares about his friend’s happiness.

idk, I like that chapter 431 presents a 25yo bakugo who seems to be be so sure of what he wants, that he’s capable of expressing that and that he can wait. deku deciding to talk to ochako I.e., to acknowledge his feelings more is a direct result of the love that bakugo pours into him and I find that really sweet.

getting kind of rejected & hurt and maybe making a bit of a fool of himself in front of their friends who can see bakugo get rejected is worth it like it doesn’t matter to 25yo bakugo like it would have to a 17yo bakugo, he really values deku as a possible partner & just the guy he has always just seen beside him forever. I like that he makes it a point to stay and wait, even if deku doesnt, I think this page that had a lot of people in shambles is actually a great testament of bakugo’s growth & his unconditional love for his friend yuppp 👍

i don't care about the hero rankings and we should'nt even dignify their existence in the epilogue with commentary

some readers said bakugo's decline (?) in the rankings is indicative of his bad attitude and that's probably horikoshi's (comedic) intention here, but all I see is someoen who is just trying to do their JOB without some gawker shoving a camera into his face

3. and then juxtaposed to his we have shoto (god bless him), who is rising in the rankings, not just because he's good at his job, but also because he treats his fans well.

4. which proves once again how idiotic these rankings aer, who cares about how bakugo handles gawkers when he get's the job done like what does fan service have to do with anythingggg

5. they want you to be mother theresa

having a friend who's upset on your behalf, having a friend who is upset with you because you refuse to love yourself more and want better for youself is so beautiful tbh

Izuku feels out of character, but i love that we get to see just how much bakugo cares about his friend, whether Izuku gets it through his thick skull or not.

idk, this whole conversation is very ambivalent, but i guess i can see the silver lining

I’ve been telling u guys for months that 431 isn't as tragic as you think it is see how they all went back to being happy working together growing closer as friends lovers co-workers etc all is well -.- <3

meh, they should've held hands in a more romantic way, idk why horikoshi felt the need to show that they still like each other & that they haven't moved on fromy trying to be casual and "bros" like this chapter doesn't rlly add anything to their relationship even though it is officially implied,it doesn't feel like anything

i think it's crazy that fujoshis were heartbroken by this little confirmation like is this your first shonen!!!!!!!!!! sasunaru ended up married with kids, izuku dabbing up a baddie shouldn't be enoguh to shake your fujoshi spirit, get tf up!!!!!!!!!!
