KIRISHIMA:

☀️   best friends☁️  school friends

I won’t lie to you: Kirishima and Bakugou’s interactions are perhaps some of my favourites to come out of the series. I’ll never get over how Kirishima went from assuming Bakugou was some violent asshole to realising that his mindset and aspirations are actually incredibly heroic ( at least, Bakugou’s view of heroic ) and practical. Bakugou possesses a lot of what Kirishima aspires towards/wishes he had. Confidence, an incredibly strong quirk that he has near-perfect mastery over, a drive to win that is unparalleled, an ultimate goal. Kirishima is starting to find his feet and figure out what kind of hero he wants to be, and a lot of that is in part thanks to Bakugou ( of course, he’s not the only influence in his life, but he’s certainly one of the biggest and brightest ).

All of that being said, despite Kirishima’s admiration of him, I love that he never shies away from calling him out or teasing him. He’s never once been afraid of Bakugou’s ‘outbursts’ because he knows that he’d never intentionally harm someone. He understands that Bakugou’s a good guy beneath all the anger and frustration, but he won’t take any of his shit.

I don’t subscribe to the fanon notion that Kirishima is Bakugou’s handler. Have people been reading the same manga? They’re equals. Friends. Kirishima isn’t trying to stand above Bakugou, but nor will he stand below him either. He wants to be on level ground with him, to be his partner, a friend. I do feel like he’s a really excellent balancing force in Bakugou’s life, not that he needs to be mellowed and not that it’s Kirishima’s job to mellow him, but there’s that lack of feelings of inferiority ( at least, not as bad as it once was from Kirishima’s perspective ) in their friendship.

I talked about it with a friend once, but I feel like Kirishima was from the start what Midoriya and Bakugou could have been ( and are steadily working towards over the course of the manga ), just without the competitive rivalry the two of them have these days haha! However, that doesn’t mean Kirishima isn’t still aspiring to reach Bakugou’s level of heroism and strength. He does still feel like he has a long way to go before he can proudly stand as his equal in terms of a Hero.

With all of this in mind, I think it’s clear to see that their friendship is something I’d love to explore haha!

Oof. Now, this is an exciting one. Toshinori is still learning what it means to be a teacher and a mentor, so there are a lot of times where he falls short of the mark. Bakugou is such a complex, unique character that Toshinori doesn’t always quite grasp the depth and source of his emotions ( due to initially seeing and learning about Bakugou through his interactions with Midoriya ), but not for lack of trying. Once he sees beyond his aggression and understands his feelings of inferiority when it comes to Midoriya, a lot of things change. He understands Bakugou’s drive, sees his passion and determination, comes to understand that he’s a very prideful boy doing his best to grow and achieve his goals after a string of humiliating defeats.

He genuinely believes in Bakugou, he knows without a shadow of a doubt that he’s going to become a stunning Hero when he finally debuts and he’ll do whatever it takes to support him on his journey. Evidently, he trusts him a great deal, too. The fact that he’s willing to share the secret of One For All and Midoriya’s involvement with him speaks volumes. I believe he does this for several reasons: to bring Bakugou comfort in his perceived beliefs that he brought about the end of his Pro Hero career, to help push him towards even greater developments, but also give Bakugou and Midoriya a gentle push towards mending the gruesome rift between them, as he believes that their development is intertwined and that they’ll push one another to become even better Heroes through their rivalry.

All of that aside, Toshinori certainly has a personal stake in Bakugou’s development, even if it’ll never be to the same degree as with Midoriya. He’s invested in him, he’s constantly proud of seeing his growth and he’ll always root for him as a person and a Hero. He truly is the embodiment of Dad Might when it comes to his kids, and that’ll be no different with Bakugou.

BASICALLY. I’d love to explore the intricacies of their relationship. I think Bakugou could very well ( if he hasn’t already ) inspire Toshinori in ways we haven’t seen yet and I’m *grabby hands* in need.

’ why even bother with a pumpkin ? just paint over a basketball, it’d be the same thing. ’ – halloween !

     “...Huh. You might be on to something.” She cups her chin contemplatively, finding no qualms with his last-ditch replacement for a pumpkin. Leave it to Yuzuki to remembering to buy pumpkins the night of Halloween. Given how last minutes things were, all the pumpkins left were those either too tiny or too bent out of shape to even be called a pumpkin. Mind made up, she gives an affirmative nod, and seemingly out of nowhere, produces a basketball from her bag.

    Suddenly inspired, she rummages through all of her decorative tools, settling on piles of hay and a bottle of glue before getting to work. She’s surprisingly efficient to detail, glancing up now and then to make her masterpiece look as realistic and as close to the real thing as possible. Let it be known that art has never been her forté. So when she finally pulls away from her creative piece, he’s met with her shoddy efforts of recreating his hair with strands of hay wilding all over the place. There were also a couple of bald spots here and there because, well... She ran out of hay.

          A LOT HAS TRANSPIRED; A mixture of emotions and inner contemplations remained bottled up, that eventually came to an EXPLOSION; manifested within ferocious actions that prompted a violent route to be taken. And yet, the man who is a remnant of what he was VAUNTED for, couldn’t place any traces of blame towards the adolescent. His own actions had a severe impact that brought CRUCIAL outcomes, and this particular circumstance was the epitome of it. His own INADVERTENCE played an enormous role in this play. Every action has its consequences, and unfortunately— it wasn’t just him paying the heavy price, including the unconcealment of vulnerability. But rather, BAKUGOU KATSUKI.

          The man who is a REMINISCENCE of the persona that once used to be the ‘ Symbol of Peace ‘, remained silent. Tranquility was a necessary tool amid the ambiance. He would glance at the young adolescent, VOICELESS; the sentiment of shame was prominent. After all, when it came to this particular individual, Toshinori was merely SCRATCHING THE EXTERIOR OF PRAGMATISM. But the interior remained UNTOUCHABLE, almost an afterthought– leaving him with the incapability and negligence of ACTUALITY; he should have known better. The ingenuous faux pas from Izuku Midoriya on exclaiming partial verity, he should have dealt with the circumstance differently. But it was too late. The DAMAGE has been done and treatment isn’t going to be easy. 

          GUILTINESS was apparent; he should have approached and provided SOLACE when it was needed. Lieu, his concentration was averted elsewhere. His retirement had a GARGANTUAN IMPACT on the entirety of mankind, and God knows how the world could handle such truth. He might have emerged as the lone CONQUEROR, but not without leaving that facade behind, once and for all.

                       But that’s not all. And he has acknowledged it now.

          He was beholden. He was GRATEFUL  to see such level of maturity and intelligence subsisting within the youngster’s mind. Not only he recognized the MAGNITUDE of the arcanum that lies within his own heart— from the BIRTH of his quirk, to the malevolence that exists to extinguish humanity; and overtly, choosing a SUCCESSOR. It was the least Toshinori could do; to tell the truth, instead of leaning towards pseudism and more secrecy. It was the LEAST that he could do. And he was THANKFUL that Bakugou would keep this secret sealed. The gratitude is ceaseless.

          Hesitancy was quite ON THE FRONT; accompanied with mindfulness. His own expression was indecipherable; BLANK AS A CANVAS, ready to be painted— as if it was lifeless. And yet, his heart would BETRAY such portrait. And it all began by having a slender limb raised, as a wide open palm was placed carefully atop blond spiky locks. Slowly and with a biddable manner, he would pull the shorter frame closer to his OWN. His other arm followed suit, as momentarily afterwards he placed it above the youth’s shoulder, eventually bringing him into an EMBRACE. A simple and significant act. Actions speak LOUDER than words, and the current image could illustrate a thousand of them. Hence, they were deemed to be UNIMPORTANT.
