    Aoyama needs even more of an arc

    He's the damn best

    I'm still sad about him getting one shot during the tournament

  • MorivethMoriveth BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWNRegistered User regular
    Yeah I want to see more of Aoyama, Sero, Shoji, and Ashido.

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    At least Ashido and Aoyama should be getting more upcoming screen time than my fave lil edgy birb

    I should watch the sub!

    I do really like most of the cast dub, though. Especially Midoriya and All-Might.

    Comparing the the two the dub is good but the japanse cast has a few standout performances which make it definitely the way I like to experience it. Bakugo is way better in the Japanese casting. Shigaraki is way better.

    Bakugo is a jojo and thus has no time for women

    That pretty much is the only way to get him to do something, so well played, Ochaco.

    Bakugo loves throwing his baggage on other people so much I can’t not see him as an incel

    I feel like Bakugo gets laid though. He's too fake confident. He seems more like the guy who sleeps with as many women as possible to try and fill the void in his heart when all he really wants it to be loved.

    But he's afraid to admit it because it would show weakness.

    The only thing Bakugo cares about from any potential relationship is how hard they can hit things.

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    Actually come to think of it I wonder if Bakugou might be ace. He's never shown any inclination towards a romantic relationship or reacted to anyone in that way like Midoriya has

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    I definitely don’t see Bakugo as an incel but I agree he has no time for women right now.

    I wonder if the popularity of Ochaco/Bakugo (at least from what I’ve seen there’s a decent amount of fan content for it) stems more from Ochaco’s cheery personality being seen as a good match for Bakugo, or from a dislike of Midoriya/Ochaco?

    Both kids told us yesterday that MHA is one of their favourite shows. It’s Niko’s fave, and Anya’s ‘favourite of the shows I’ve watched with you’.

  • MancingtomMancingtom Registered User regular
    Eh, Ochaco/Bakugo is the same "primary girl/primary bad boy" ship you see in every fandom, like Katara/Zuko or Hermione/Draco. Midoriya/Ochaco gets less attention by comparison because, at least right now, it's the most likely thing to actually happen and therefore considered boring—like Aang/Katara and Harry/Ginny before it.

    I'm curious whether MHA will end when they finish school, or if there'll some sort of timeskip and we'll see everyone as pro-heroes.

  • GundiGundi Serious Bismuth Registered User regular
    Bakugo has I don't think at any point in the entire series show any romantic or sexual interest towards anybody.

    Also if we're talking crack ships then it has to be Deku/Todoroki.

  • CouscousCouscous Registered User regular
    I am not sure Bakugo would have a type he might like given he would probably see everybody as less than him or someone he hates for being stronger than him.

    Except for Eijiro, who is a precious boy.

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    Bakugo is not emotionally mature enough right now to have a romantic relationship.

    That is probably true of most teenagers.

    Yes, but it's especially true of Bakugo, who is currently incapable of viewing anyone as a stepping stone or an obstacle.

    Bakugo is volcel

    Bakugo’s mom is the reason he is why he is.

    After the first few episodes I knew exactly what his parents would be like, and I was correct!

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    She's why he's loud, but he's also got a flashy quirk and has been naturally good at everything society cares about, in a world that seems to really be into openly evaluating its young people constantly

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    Yet he wants to win fairly, and when we do see him fail, he doesn’t throw a tantrum. He doesn’t display the bitterness or blaming of others that you’d expect from someone who was spoiled or had incel tendencies.

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    Ochaco on Bakugo, from the School Briefs book:
    “What if you could be one of the boys for a day?”

    The girls thought about Kendo’s suggestion, and one particular boy popped into Uraraka’s mind.

    “I’d wanna be Bakugo for a day.”

    “Eh? Him, really?” asked a shocked Jiro. Ururaka smiled and blushed.

    “Mhm. He gave me a solid beating at the Sports Festival, right? During that battle, I really got a feel for how strong he is. Might be awesome to get a taste of that strength, myself!”

    Bakugou/Ochako comes entirely from the fact that at one single point in the series he treated her like a human being worthy of a bare minimum amount of respect.

    That's it, that's the ship basis.

    Oof I wonder if the new chapter’ll be adapted for the anime, because if so...

    This chapter 236, uh:
    JFC this chapter!

    Mon-chan noooo. You didn't deserve this! You were a good dog!

    This legit upset me, because whenever I'm upset my dog can just sense it and comes and finds wherever I am in the house and lays down on me, just like the dog in this chapter. They very notion of hurting a dog boils my blood. You fill them with love and you get manifold returns on it.

    Aside: when I checked the reddit thread for this chapter, 1000 people also had the same JFC reaction.

    I'm sure it will be but it will be heavily edited. You can't directly show that stuff on Japanese TV no way.

    Well, that’s one way to show how a villain came to be.

    JFC.

    Is that the JoJo author that shows how evil his villains are by having them abuse dogs?
