#ch 319

I love Izuru's characterization.

Because when you first see him, he looks like a passive, timid, person. But then you find contradictions in his behavior. That's what made him so intriguing for me.

Like when he attacked momo to defend Gin in ss arc then had a panic attack over it.

I was impressed by how brutal he was in his fight against this bird arrancar (his name was abirama or something?) I didn't except that anger and ferocity from him.

And he HATES Gin lmao (unlike the ther two lieutenants who got betrayed). His opponent saying his old captain's name and what he had done flipped on the switch for Izuru and he went savage mode.

the post i stole this pic from already translated the bottom part as okakede which I take as in "thanks for taking care of [me] / thanks to you"

the top part though is himitsu wo and then what appears to be kyouyuu

BRUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!

Ch. 319 was exactly what I wanted to see from Horikoshi! It’s starting to tie things up nicely and can we just appreciate for a moment that BAKUGO HIMSELF was the leader of this mission?!!!!!

Like the amount that he cares for Deku is unbelievable. He admitted himself that he knows Deku best (and I’m SO glad he said he was insane because boy, if there’s one thing that has really come to light these past several chapters is that Deku is unhinged).

And the way the chapter ended?! I am so ready for a Bakugo v Deku fight round 2. And I already know how I want it to end: with Deku pinning bakugo down and bakugo asking him something along the lines of “is this what you wanted? Is this how you wanted things to end?”

Seriously, I still think bakugo, Deku, and todoroki just need a good long loud group cry, but that’s just me.

ALSO, can we just appreciate Uraraka and Iida in this chapter?!!! Like bitches did not come to play and I’m here for it
