im two weeks late to this but i would like to look at this panel for a second with everyone
when it dropped i was seeing people repeatedly crop this to only deku and bakugou or including shouto with the caveat that “shouto is being a good friend letting deku and bakugou bond (without interjecting)” as if he isn’t a part of the “we” in question here
aside from the fact that that’s a bit of a wild take to have on a singular panel showing only a snippet of conversation… katsuki mentions remedial lessons and house arrest. not just house arrest. he’s referencing both his house arrest with izuku as well as his supplementary course with shouto. so when deku says “unlike WE were” … the WE is all of them. shouto is in fact a consideration in this dialogue guys… they are ALL bonding. it is not deku and bakugou bonding and shouto standing idly by as a “good friend allowing them to bond” (which is a crazy take btw)
it’s cool to celebrate bakugou and deku getting to work together but god forbid all three of them be friends at the same time am i right
