The talk Deku is giving to Katsuma is about the difference between save to win and win to save, and how they lead to the same thing: helping others

Bakugou is conflicted, so Deku pleads with him and finally Bakugou accepts

Deku and Bakugou stretches their arms, so that their fingers touch. Once Deku's blood is on Bakugou's finger, they still squeeze each other's hand, in a way to reassure each other

After the transfer, Bakugou asks Deku if he will still be able to use OFA

Bakugou is still worried, telling Deku that this is the end of his dream and he might go back to being quirkless. Deku replies that it is okay, if it is him and All Might would approve

"If it is you, it is okay" because they always tried to be the same hero
