#dvk3

But I think Kacchan-Deku talks should resolve during battles - whether it’s fighting each other or the two of them mouthing off as they fight some else in perfect tandem.

It makes the talk more exciting and dynamic. I think the adrenaline helps to bring to the surface long-repressed feelings as it’s always done in their case.

The apology was the opposite of their normal. It stood out so much, because there everyone else was using the “normal” BKDK language of yell & fight. And then the fighting stopped, time stopped and Bakugou stood out there and made a speech very much unlike their usual - rehearsed and practiced and calm and fully deliberate.

I’m fine with them returning to their usual though, where being in a fight helps them release. Especially for Izuku, I think it’s much needed because usually he’s so relentlessly polite and kind, but in those high-stake situations, sometimes his other side, “the need to win” side slips out and he gets just a tiny bit more honest about his less-than-noble feelings. And I personally feel like it’s rewarding when that happens.

I personally hope that dvk3 actually happens but seeing how rushed things been im scared it wont happen lol

No, it hasn't been "confirmed" in an interview or anything, if that's what you are asking.

HK said in his Jump Festa message:

"Katsuki will be having his greatest scene in the manga in future developments. I hope people who like Katsuki and hate Katsuki will look forward to it."

I think people expect it, because in Act 1 we had DvK (where Deku won), in Act 2 we had DvK2 (where Kacchan won) and it feels like there should be a DvK3 in some form that brings final closure to their relationship.

The apology was a step - but it left things open. Bakugou told Deku that he didn't expect things to change from this - i.e. the ball is in Deku's court to decide what kind of relationship he wants with Bakugou.

And I think Deku has buried a lot of feelings - including Kacchan almost dying for him - and he's putting it off to face them. So it feels like something will have to trigger their last discussion - a crisis situation of sorts. Now I don't think they'd be willingly beating each other up on the eve of the big final battle, but some kind of possession/mind control could play a role. Or they could have an argument about some self-sacrificial move one of them tries to pull.

I'm sure that the DvK3-talk will happen - but it being a bkdk talk - it is more likely to involve some smashes and explosions.

I'm not sure what the trigger will be - but one of them being possessed (e.g. reverse Sludge Villain-type scenario) could be a way into the fight.

Addendum to the last ask: for the record, that would not be the healthiest acknowledgment of his mistreatment of Deku on Bakugou's part, since it'd be him essentially yelling at Deku about Deku's reaction to Bakugou's own shitty behavior. But lord knows Bakugou's emotional responses aren't perfect, and it'd definitely show Deku that 1) Bakugou's been thinking about it, and 2) Bakugou regrets his actions deeply and wants to make things right, even if it doesn't ever contain the words "I'm sorry".

I doubt that we’ll see a fistfight similar to Dvk and DvK2.

But an emotional talk? Very likely. Possibly a friendly punch? Maybe.

This chapter showed the post-apology dynamic between Kacchan and Deku and it feels like there is still distance. Maybe even a little bit more distance than during the Endeavor internship and the war arc.

Bakugou visibly pulled back - he didn’t participate in the Deku-washing, he is trying to treat Deku exactly the same as his other classmates, he sits on the “Bakusquad sofa” leaving Deku space to be with his Shouto and Iida, he lingers in the background when All Might appears. I think it’s because he’s not completely sure how to act and he’s also giving space for Deku to set the tone of their new dynamic or to reveal his preferences.

And Deku seems equally lost at how to behave. I think seeing the scars on Kacchan really hit him hard and he says very little afterwards other than being called Deku is fine. But then he kind of very obviously not even looking at Bakugou.

So yeah, it feels like they still have stuff they need to say - especially Deku since he was the one who left the apology without response.

I don’t know what will be the trigger. Maybe something happening to All Might or maybe Deku again being reckless or maybe something about the 2nd OFA holder.

I think this is Deku’s goal in this fight to shake class A, not to hurt them.

But I think also it’s very important for him to face Kacchan’s injuries and process his own feelings about it. So this is why he won’t be able to shake Kacchan off, the same way Kacchan was never able to leave him behind either. So Deku will be forced to stop his current avoidance and will have to acknowledge it. How much it hurt him to see Kacchan sacrifice himself like that.

Deku will try to get away. Class A will try to catch him. They’ll manage until Deku activates Fa Jin, which will be a surprise. Bakugou will chase after him, cliffhanger is start of DvK3.

I'm VERY worried that this will end in a shit-show.

But, I've been speculating since the War Arc, and seeing Bakugou ascending to really great levels of teamplay that this could be his way of matching Deku. Without a totally BS power-up, there is no way Bakugou could match 6quirks+Faux100% Deku on pure power levels, but if there is one way Bakugou could match him is to combine everyone else's strength:

We had the All Might era, where All Might was doing everything alone.

It was replaced by the Endeavor era, where the non-OFA heroes discovered teamwork and almost managed to end AFO / Shigaraki. As people have pointed out again and again, Deku often worked cross-purposes to the rest of the team.

In Deku's mind, the conclusion from the failure that things have to go back to the All Might era way - where he alone will have to level up and handle everything.

But I think Bakugou's conclusion is that the OFA-holder and the rest of the heroes have to work together. No previous OFA-holder managed to overcome AFO, and the heroes together couldn't do it either, so the solution is putting everyone's strengths together and work on a strategy for perfect victory - no casualties.
