First of all, I both hear and understand why everyone is upset with the new opening and ending sequences. In fact, I agree with most the posts I've seen so far about it...BUT I also have another set of feelings about it.
I was just looking back on posts trying to predict how Bones would animate "Katsuki Bakugo: Rising" and let me remind you people, the bar was low. The expectation was grim. And then? We were all so pleasantly surprised at how well they did. They took their time with Bakugo's moment and isolated it.
I'm not saying these op/edings aren't bogus but I do wonder if they are actually trying to give bkdk their space here. Giving them a moment before our big apology scene. If you'll notice, all the big scenes that these sequences allude to are all big, major scenes. But what's the biggest one? By not highlighting it in the sequences, I feel like it will be more unexpected and will shine brighter BECAUSE of the lack of expectation.
You see these moments with Ochako and that becomes your expectation for the season progression...but that's not what happens. Remember they've been playing the long game leading up to this season.
In the past I stated how they handled "Katsuki Bakugo: Rising" would tell us how they will handle the rest. I think for now, I'll trust in that. And I mean, hey, if not? THEN we riot 😜
