Interesting bit about Bakugoâs character:
I was scrolling through some old liked videos on tiktok, and I encountered a post by user ttenkos (on tiktok) about how Katsukiâs eyes are hidden when he experiences a lot of hurt and emotion.
Because of that, itâs likely heâs crying here, they argued. (below)
Or heâs at least really hurt, and itâs apparent in his eyes.
And so a lot of us have made that connection. That Katsuki hides his face because heâs about to or is crying.
But like, I finally put two and two together and realized just how significant Katsukiâs eyes areâ
Bakugoâs eyes betray his emotions.
Which is a trait unlike of any other character in My Hero.
This is established in the first damn chapter of the manga.
Bakugouâs eyes are like literally the thing that propelled this story forward because when Bakugo was shouting insults and blasting his quirk, they exposed his fear and motivated Izuku to act.
ThenâĻ Izuku tells Bakugo his secret. And the whole time, Bakugo is on the verge of crying.
From puffy eyes to a clouded glare, thereâs something about his eyes in every panel.
He hides behind his hair for a while, and after that itâs revealedâĻ
That Katsuki is crying :(
I love this scene so much. Wanna give it a kiss on the cheek /// thereâs so much insight into their characters!
That same pattern is shown here:
And in that scene with Endeavor. But this time, he doesnât cry when his eyes are exposed. Which I think says as much about his character as the previous examples.
And then thereâs this, finally.
Yeah baby, thatâs what Iâve been waiting for. Thatâs what itâs all about.
Anyways, there wasnât really a point to this post. I just love what Horikoshi does with Bakugoâs character, and this little quirk (haha) of Bakugo just has a special place in my heart. So I wanted to share :)
