When Did Bakugo Realize His Feelings?
So,I do not write about Bakugo enough :p Also,I'm writing something about Horikoshi's Frame Placement and I realized it's going to take a little more time,so,have this in the meantime.
I think we can all pinpoint when Izuku realized his feelings; the Joint Training Arc of course. Izuku realized Kacchan was showing his true heroic side,the side Izuku hasn't seen see they were little. It was probably when he realized, "Oh...ooh...OOOH,I'm gay." I think deep in his mind he knew he wasn't "normal" about his feelings for Kacchan.
But he never once let himself really think about it like that. Deep in his mind;he knew he didn't have a chance with Kacchan like that. But,when they stated getting closer,Izuku wanted more. He got selfish,and that's why he needs to control his heart. When you love someone you'll have negative feelings too. Like,you hate it when you see someone you care about get hurt,that's a negative feeling driven by positive emotions. What Izuku feels for Kacchan is positive,but when Kacchan gets hurt he has a negative reaction. The more you love someone,the more negative your reaction will be.
MAN. Izuku is just too fun to write about. Lord save me now. (I mean they both are,but Izuku is just something else.)
This one is a little harder for most people to pinpoint. I think like Izuku,he had a realization that he wasn't "normal" about Izuku. Izuku wasn't an extra,he never was one in Katsuki's eyes. In the beginning it was; "Because he looks down on me," and the more he grew the more that reason wasn't valid. The more he realized, "I'm weak too," can also be seen as the beginning of the realization "I'm not normal about him."
(*But,can we a just agree him thinking about his experience with Izuku when he's struggling is so..JKSHSKJSK? Like,him constantly thinking about Izuku and his experiences with his feelings for him is just so telling how much he's grown.*)
And who's willing to bet he had a flashback to the lake?
This. When he's having a flashback about how much he cares about Izuku as he's saving Izuku...that's when it clicked. Why he isn't normal about Izuku. I think he was like, "I care about him. That's it." But when Izuku left and he couldn't sleep he realized the feelings were much DEEPER. That he doesn't care about other people the way he does for Izuku. His feelings are something else entirely. So,in my opinion,he realized, "I'm in love with this damn nerd" when Izuku left. When he got that letter.
When he realized he NEEDED him. That's when it clicked;he'd get stabbed through the gut,he'd stand in the rain,he'd die,just to make sure Izuku was okay. That he could smile,that he could be with him again.
So,I think it was the vigilante arc when Bakugo realized ,
"Oh,I'm not normal about him because I love him."
And I think that fits perfectly. That arc being the arc Katsuki realized he was in love,and that arc being the one Ochaco realized it. She realized they loved each other,and that was the arc she moved from Izuku. She became her own hero,without Izuku's influence,without wanting to be like Izuku.
The vigilante arc is my favourite one by far.
Izuku realized he was gay gay when Bakugo learned how to save again,Katsuki realized he was gay gay when he couldn't sleep without Izuku,and that he wanted to be with Izuku. And Ochaco is a girl boss.
