Hello hello hello, I wish to do a massive rant about the upcoming series of doctor who and my theories (or lack thereof).

Contains some spoilers for Lux and The Well.

Okay so first off I just want to say that I AM LOVING THIS SERIES. The first series was very hit and miss for me, like it had some good episodes and good parts of episodes, but generally I felt a little disappointed. Also, it didn't really interest me in the way that previous series and this new series did. Like it all felt a little anticlimactic??? Like nothing was really explained in a satisfying way. They made a big deal about Ruby's mum but actually she's just some regular teenager with trouble at home leaving her baby at a church because she couldn't care for her. They made a big deal about 73 yards, but then just leave it alone and never reference it again after Ruby leaves. They make it snow when Ruby's parentage is mentioned then never clear it up. It all felt like a bit of a let down, to me at least.

But this series has been great so far!!! They've had a really captivating yet light hearted villain with Lux, then a completely terrifying thing with The Well - I've missed the terror episodes! And bringing back the Entity was a risky choice, which would have either been incredibly gripping or completely ruined one of the best loved episodes in Doctor Who history - and they pulled it off!

Anyway, now I'm going to get to the point, only two full paragraphs in!

I was completely thrown off by Lux. Not in a bad way necessarily, just that it was unexpected. This may have just been that in my desperation to avoid leaks and spoilers, I missed something about the episode order, but I did not expect Lux to appear so early. I didn't know his name, otherwise I obviously would have guessed that the guy named Lux appears in the episode titled Lux, but I wasn't expecting him until way later in the series.

The reason for this is that I thought he was going to be involved in The Reality War. Obviously not as the main villain, that tends to be a surprise, but I thought he was going to be like a consequence or collaborator of the main villain for the finale. I don't know if I'm stupid or something, but to me what could be seen through the cracks in The Reality War's title shot looked quite like something digitally drawn or animated. I thought that the 'Reality' element of this war was going to be different realities bleeding into this one, including the realm of cartoons. I was thinking that Lux was going to be the most problematic manifestation of the cartoon reality, and that he would appear alongside several other different creation-bending entities. Clearly, I was wrong about this.

But then, that got me thinking. Because after looking at The Reality War's title shot again, I still believe that those cracks look like something animated. Also, a big, reoccurring theme of the 14th Doctor and onwards episodes has been The Doctor's mistakes causing powerful things to be released (The Toymaker because of the salt, the 73 Yards woman because of the circle, Sutekh because of sending him into the vortex, the Susan Triads because of Sutekh). So now, given how Lux was defeated, I'm wondering if that might lead to the shattering of realities that cause the war. Because Lux has not only become pure light, he has become all of the light in the universe. Like, I'm just saying, might that not have some sort of effect? Is it possible that defeating Lux has created something far, far more terrifying? I think that that is actually a very plausible explanation, considering it came from my brain. Or, again, maybe I'm just stupid. Who knows!?

About Bakugou's Hero Name

We still don't know what Bakugou's hero name is and I was thinking about possibilities and came to one conclusion...

Here are some hints about why his name might be Kacchan:

1. Manga Titles

Horikoshi is very specific when choosing the manga chapter titles. For the first fight between Midoriya and Bakugou, the title is Deku vs. Kacchan

The same title is used for their second fight in chapter 119: Deku vs. Kacchan, Part 2

You could argue that here, their childhood names are being used because the fights have an emotional meaning to them and their childhood is explored during their fights.

However, Horikoshi switches between hero names and civilian names depending on the context of the chapters, so this case does not just apply to the fights between Midoriya and Bakugou.

For instance, in chapter 171 the title is Gentle and La Brava, but in chapter 176 instead of Gentle’s cilvilian name, Horikoshi chose Gentle’s hero name “Gentle Criminal”. The title of chapter 176 is Deku Vs. Gentle Criminal, which implies that it is a fight between two heroes, same as when Midoriya and Bakugou fight as heroes (as Deku and Kacchan).

In contrast, in chapter 49, instead of Deku, the title is Midoriya and Shigaraki, which represents the characters as non-heroes.

2. The Future Heroes

There is no doubt that Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugou will be big heroes in the future, if not the top three.

Midoriya and Todoroki have already chosen their hero names and both have chosen names that are either their first name (Shouto), or a name that is derived from their first name (Deku). The kanji for their names fit perfectly to what they both want to represent as heroes:

焦 (Shou  = burn) and 凍 (to = freeze)

出 (Izu =leave; can also be read as „De“) and 久 (ku = old story), here the first kanji is read differently in order to get „Deku“, which sounds like the japanese verb „dekiru“ meaning „to be able to“. This is what Midoriya wants to represent as hero.

For Bakugou, he wanted some names that were flashy, but they were rejected.

Since his first name is Katsuki: Katsu (勝 = to win) and ki (己 = self), it is not far fetched that he would choose a name that represents himself and his desire to win. There is also the advice Best Jeanist gave Bakugou, which certainly helped him realize what he desires most (to be a hero who never looses instead of a hero who is explosive).

“Katsu” is part of “Kacchan” and it is derived from his first name.

3. Fighting As Kacchan

This panel from chapter 251:

Midoriya actively calls Todoroki by his hero name “Shouto”, while he calls Bakugou “Kacchan”. Yes, he always calls him that but the fact that we have the image of Todoroki as the hero “Shouto” here (plus the fact that they are switching to their hero gear right after), might be a hint for Bakugou's hero name, who is currently fighting as a hero with the others.
