Bakugo's Declaration! | My Hero Academia Newlyweds Reaction | Ep 8, "Bakugo's Start Line”

[@spectorthecritic1723]

One thing that I don't think people really talk about is the fact that bakugo was hyperventilating until allmight started talking to him meaning that he was probably about to have a full on panic attack

[@thegreendragon5390]

Oh, I didn't notice, but I get it. He's really dealing with his long standing notions about life being . All the way from childhood through middle school, Bakugo was praised and put on a pedestal, while Izuku was belittled and powerless to stop it. Now, at UA, not only is Izuku able to stand up for himself, but Bakugo is no longer "the gifted one". He's now just 1 of 20 in class 1-A, and his middle school attitude that never met resistance before now makes him the violent delinquent of the class. All of his world views are either being challenged, or straight up proven wrong. That'll do a number on anybody.

[@jazmoons]

exactly! I wish more people would talk about this scene when they watch it

[@MMSkittles-zw7zn]

As a 16 year old who has anxiety attacks (not the same thing as panic attacks), I automatically noticed that when I saw that scene.

[@GamerGrovyle]

22:54 "Who made him like this?" Everyone in his life since age 4 telling him he's the best thing since sliced bread and destined to succeed at Hero work. Bakugo has never faced adversity until the Sludge villain. All he's ever known is success and praise playing life on Easy mode. Suddenly he's thrust into Hard difficulty and realizes he's been a big fish in a tiny pond all of his life and now he has to compete with the sharks and an Octopus-Man.

[@12thLevelSithLord]

Bakugo's kinda experiencing a variant on "affluenza" when you think about it.

[@flyingstapler1241]

Nah he's still a big fish in a small pond and playing on Easy Mode. He's much more hardworking, intelligent and better in combat than most of Class 1A since the very start. It's just that there are 2 other big fish competing in the pond full of small fish now and he feels threatened that he's just top 3 instead of being undeniably number 1.

[@Regu269]

It's also important to remember that individual personality is also affected by the persons quirk. Bakugos quirk is explosions. Kinda speaks for itself

[@DigiVixen]

There's more to it than that. A lot more to it. I don't want to deep dive here though.

[@Unfindable_Creator_]

Honestly probably from before he was 4 to. Considering the small look we got in the anime with his parents, his mother seemed to have a really weird thing with weakness. (Which I assume is a big part of where he got that from, but open to interpretation I guess)

[@serrano333]

i feel like no one really emphasizes that bakugo was FOUR YEARS OLD when everyone including teachers and other adults, started telling him he's better than everyone else....like, if you tell a child, "you're special and so is everyone else" they'd be like "OH COOL!" but bakugo was told "you're special and BETTER THAN everyone else"at age FOUR

[@Marta-uv4id]

The thing about Bakugo is that he spent so long in a place where he was undoubtedly the best and had a quirk that is so incredibly strong that when he gets even slightly challenged, he starts to have an entire identity crisis. He could still probably beat most of his class, but him not being undeniably the best anymore sends him into a spiral.

[@spectorthecritic1723]

Bakugou could've easily been a classic, typical bully character, but instead once the early episodes are behind us, every step of the way he subverts expectations. He's smart, gets good grades, and he actually listens to criticism and admits to his own shortcomings. Really, the only things holding him back from being a proper hero are his ego and his warped perception of the way Izuku acts toward him. His character development over the course of the show is more of a slow burn, but boy is it worth it!

[@Kaempfdog]

I love Bakugo whole heartedly as a character. He is fantastic. I have to keep a lot of my thoughts under wraps because I want to discuss the better depths explored. This part of his character while necessary, is so UNBELIEVABLY painful to watch. At least for me.

"Warped Perception" is a very polite way to put the fact, he believes that 20% of all people should commit suicide. Name a single time, he has listened to anyone's criticism.

@@petercarlisle7044 I don't think Horikoshi really thought through this part of his universe. 20% of all people being quirkless is a *ton* of people. Like, about 25% of kids need vision correction and about 30% of people in general have diabetes. It really shouldn't be the big deal that it's made out to be.

[@ryvnhaust5250]

I think the reason why I like Bakugo as a character is because I relate to Bakugo to a certain degree. I was once a "gifted kid" who was put ina apedestal by adults and my peers. I genuinely thought I was young Einstein, I kid you not. Entering highschool means entering a different territory. As I enter highschool, I met a lot of people who're much more intelligent and talented than I am. My self-image was questioned to the point of questioning my existence. My literal personality trait back then was, "the genius kid". Seeing Bakugo hyperventilate, seeing him cry and almost have a mental breakdown, I saw my past self. I sympathize with him in a way that, I WANT HIM TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. He has a long way to go. And without giving too much information to those who're not caught up, I'm proud of Bakugo.

[@tofu_golem]

I relate to Momo. She worked so hard to improve her mind and she still holds herself back with self-doubt.

[@mint-qg6ho]

Bakugo is very much someone who has never been challenged by anyone and is used to being the best without much effort. It's like a kid who never had to study for high school who gets a huge reality check when they go to college. He also based his entire identity on "being the best" and this was reinforced by everyone around him as a child, including Deku.

[@TheRaineyMan]

Montana on point with the predictions again! With the psychoanalysis for Bakugo, and her prediction of All Might hiding One for All

[@getshwifty3101]

"Who made him (Kacchan) like this?" Funnily enough: Society. Almost everyone around him when he was growing up praised him nonstop. Both kids, and even the adults. He's basically Homelander, if y'all've seen The Boys. But he's not Superman.

[@arelydelaluz8487]

Bakugou learn that he was not the best. I love how his character grows from this. I've said this before and I'll say it again, he is my favorite. His superiority inferiority complex is well-written. I love the OFA AFO confusion. You'll learn why it's important.

[@Sandro_de_Vega]

I dont think that some ONE is reason why bakugo is that way. I think is more about society. In this society good quirks are praised. And his is amazing. So everyone praise him at any point. And no one turn him down.

[@dekuisagreatmaincharacter]

Bakugo’s world is quite literally shattering. Now Deku didn’t just stand up to him or challenge him, he _beat_ him. And unlike before, Bakugo isn’t angry. If anything, he’s hyperventilating. Maybe for the first time in his life, he lost. And not just that, he lost to Deku, the person who was always behind him. And when all’s said and done, he’s not praised like he always was, he’s chastised for being reckless and finds himself agreeing with that. _And then,_ when he sees someone else win in a matter of seconds, he realizes he’s simply not the strongest anymore. By his own logic, he’s worthless. Moving away from him for a moment, damn, Shoto’s introduction is really cool, pun not intended. In one move, he shows he’s in a league of his own. And although it’s not action-based, I think Momo’s proper introduction also shows how much she’s ahead of her classmates as a recommended student, at least as far as intellect and analysis goes. Also, not wanting to pet myself on the back, but I lowkey feel like her explaining everyone’s performance on the battle trial in great detail when I write these super long comments. All Might and Recovery Girl’s scene in the infirmary is one I find really telling, but it rarely gets talked about. It’s the first time All Might’s actions are actively questioned. Even still, All Might says that if his secret ever got out, society would be seized by evil. This gives us a little more insight on the Symbol of Peace. More so than a mere title, it seems to be something that can hold evil in check by itself. All Might is willing to drain himself to keep this symbol standing. But it appears Deku, as his successor and new wielder of One For All, will have to inherit this role. And now, I can finally talk about Deku’s fatal flaw. I’ve seen a few people say that he doesn’t have any real flaws. I’ve once read a comment literally calling him a Mary Sue, which only proves how meaningless that term has become. But I will admit that, much like Bakugo’s nuances, Deku’s main flaw can be somewhat easy to miss. I’ve identified two possible reasons for this: 1) his flaw causes way more harm to himself than to those around him, and as such is harder to notice than something like Bakugo’s pride and arrogance, which often targets other people. And 2) also unlike Bakugo, Deku’s main flaw isn’t an individual personality trait or set of traits that need to be overcome if he wants to be a better person. His flaw actually derides from his typically positive traits taken to a harmful extreme. Deku’s defining traits are his heroism and determination. Above all else, he wants to help people. And he’s willing to do anything to accomplish that, even if it puts him in harm’s way. If he puts his mind on something, no one can stop him. These aren’t bad traits to have, in fact they’re frequently portrayed as strengths. They’re what allow Deku to become a hero and inspire others. However, a theme of MHA that will become apparent as time goes on is that extremes are never good. Heroism is no exception. Much like how he overworked himself during training, Deku has a tendency to go too far. Sometimes, his resolve becomes so strong, he’ll neglect his own well-being for the sake of reaching his goal. In these cases, he crosses the line of self-sacrifice and engages in self-destruction. These may look similar, but there’s a fundamental difference between them: self-sacrifice means accepting hardship to help someone else. Self-destruction means actively harming yourself, and can even get in the way of your goal. Like Aizawa said, the way Deku is now, he’ll become incapacitated after saving just one person and force others to come to his rescue. In fact, if I had to sum up Deku’s flaws in a single term, that’d be it: self-destruction. He’s so laser focused on his goals, he’ll stop thinking about himself. It’s like an extreme version of his defining trait of saving others no matter the risk. That brings me to another reason why I love One For All. Because it reflects this fatal flaw in a pretty on the nose way. The only way Deku can use his power at first is by destroying his body. And this time, unlike when he used it to save someone’s life or prevent his expulsion, he used it to win an exercise. The stakes were very low, but he still destroyed his arm to reach a goal when he really didn’t need to. Recovery Girl and even All Might recognize this, with the latter admitting he should have stopped the fight, but was afraid of dismissing Deku’s feelings. That’s very considerate of you All Might, but these feelings led this boy to blow up his own arm to win a mockery battle with no stakes. So the most considerate thing you could have done is stop him from unnecessarily hurting himself. Finally, there is another key element of Deku’s that plays a role in this. I’ve discussed before about how the bullying he endured as a child made him develop a very low sense of self-worth. That means he doesn’t see himself as someone important, which is what leads him to not think about himself in any given situation. To Deku, everyone else is more important and more valuable than him. So if someone is in danger, he has to save them regardless of what happens to him. After all, if he’s not important, then the least he can do is save those who are. Amidst all this, you’d hope All Might, someone who Deku admires and has a lot of respect for, would be able to guide him. But All Might has a lot of the same flaws as Deku. He’s so determined to keep his image as the invincible Symbol of Peace, he constantly puts his body under strain. This disregard for themselves is a trait Deku and All Might share as wielders of One For All, a Quirk whose very name implies serving the world. That’s all fine and good, until it becomes too much. Giving yourself to others is admirable. Giving yourself so much you no longer care for yourself because you’re so busy caring for others is harmful. So to sum it all up, Deku’s altruism and low sense of self-worth make him willing to not just sacrifice himself, but unnecessarily harm himself to help those he sees as worth more than him. That’s reflected in how he can only use his power in a self-destructive way at first. Similar to his master, it’s his heroism and determination taken to the extreme. And if he really wants to be a hero, he needs to learn to take care of himself as well. Wow, can you tell I love the character writing in this series? Anyway, even if it was crazy and brought about the worst in both Deku and Bakugo, their match inspired the rest of the class to give it their all as well. We’ve seen Deku inspiring others to action with All Might and Uraraka, but now it’s clear Bakugo can inspire others too. This shows that, despite his unpleasant and arguably downright villainous personality, he also has the makings of a hero. And to that, he makes an oath: _“I’m just getting started!”_ (That’s where the name of the episode comes from if you couldn’t tell) And yes, he is just getting started. But not just him, everyone in the class too. Deku and Bakugo themselves have a long road ahead, in what’s quite possibly the best written relationship in the whole series. And despite what some people may say, Bakugo is important to Deku, enough for him to reveal some of the truth behind his Quirk. They’re not friends or even rivals yet, but they’re moving forward. And what’s that, a post credit scene? Oh boy, that’s a fun one! Our first glance at any actual villains, and they’re not holding back! We just met these guys and they’re already talking about killing All Might. What will happen next?

[@phresh6199]

Yeah Dekus flaw is really highlighted when he goes Vigalante.

[@dekuisagreatmaincharacter]

@@phresh6199 Yes, because that’s when it’s most visible. But he acted this way from the beginning, _especially_ from the beginning. It’s no coincidence that as he starts to take more care of himself, he learns to use OFA in a less destructive way. The “Dark Deku” arc was a big period of regression for him.

5:30 as a theatre kid I can actually confirm, sometimes the nurse comes to the auditorium

[@RoyMust4ng]

something that is lost in translation is the "kozei" word, it is translated as quirk but its meaning is more of "individuality". The quirks not only give them powers but also affects their presonality. So, it is understable that a guy with an explotions power has an explosive personality. I think the only hint given in the anime is when Deku says that once Bakugo's quirk manifested he started to change.

[@Kaempfdog]

If there is one thing this show does well, it is telling us a fight isn’t the ending of a conflict. (Among countless other things but you get the idea.) In regard to this fight, we can tell if anything it started a whole new branch of chaos on this alone. I love how this shows that to Bakugo, he can quite literally gauge the size and scale of his charged attack to Deku’s between the hole in the wall and UNBELIEVABLE size of the attack from Deku in the ceiling. And he knows Deku has him completely outclassed in force. And considering his bullying, this has to be absolutely TERRIFYING. The backlash and control difference doesn’t matter yet, because if he can’t match the force, Deku could VERY easily get to a place where he makes him irrelevant. So he stands there stunned at this revelation and it spins him out of control. And worse, we aren’t even looking at the strongest person in the class. Because this show subverts that expectation of the main “rival” and protagonist being the top people in the class. Because we have now been introduced to recommendations students. The system is simple. There are 2 in each class. 1 based on power, the other based on intelligence. And it doesn’t have you guess who has what just considering the size and scale. (Though we won’t meet the other 2 for a WHILE. So I’ll just point them out when they show even if the show won’t say.) Shoto Todoroki has been established as the strongest person in the class. And with the control to go up and down walls, floors, and ceilings to that exact level inside and out goes to show this guy’s control is RIDICULOUS. Any recommended student tends to be in a VERY different wheelhouse than the other characters. Momo Yaoyarozu is the same way. Momo might be thinking on the level of All-Might teaching, which is years ahead of herself here…and makes All-Might look PRETTY out of his element. Most powers are still unestablished at what they can do and their rules. The show hasn’t taken much interest in it’s background yet, and will only set aside the ones that are meant to be treated as outliers and everyone else more or less shares brain cells. And with so little internal dialogue or much difference in thoughts, it’s hard to set them apart no matter how crazy their designs are. Except Mineta. I’ll…hold my thoughts on him. I won’t cover the other kids when all we saw was the briefest of moments with their powers. And some are still very unclear. We do have a lot of All-Might to go over though. All-Might has a small circle of people around him that know what OFA is and how he’s held it secret. A grand total of 5 people. 3 relevant now, and 2 off his grid. But he still plays politics about it even now so everyone still relies on him. The very fact he had to show his weakened form to the faculty as a necessity for this job is crazy in of itself. I do despise how he teaches, but one also just has to think about his whole ideal. One For All by name is like a complete devotion of selflessness. But with that comes self-sacrifice. And he teaches that to Deku…while forgetting to check on him. That’s the idea of OFA. It’s used to be this godly power meant to sacrifice for others. He’s distinctly teaching Deku to be more self-sacrificial. I know people say he didn’t know of the true backlash of OFA, but this is now the 3rd time he has seen up close that Deku is getting COMPLETELY wrecked and he doesn’t even so much as address anything with him. No ideas to try, and no greater focus. It’s hard make that defense when he runs right past his broken successor to instead cheer up Bakugo, and STILL doesn’t so much as ask Deku how he’s doing after. Also, the fact that this man just told Bakugo that pride is a great attribute and he ABSOLUTELY has the ability to be a hero is just furthering the problem. He stops at the most important thing to say and even writes off Bakugo as over the situation. Let’s let clearer minds prevail, heroes can’t afford to be completely reckless, SOMETHING other than what he says and leaving at that AND shrugging it off as unimportant when it is so COMPLETELY important to Bakugo. Both directions he took this episode are CATASTROPHIC for both of their emotional health. Physical health and growth it’ll do wonders admittedly for Bakugo at least. Deku just got absolutely shafted in this situation. Deku only fights to prove himself to All-Might, and to help others. Deku is NOT a factor of this power yet to himself. And it literally puts him out of commission a whole day. While Deku is getting acknowledged by his classmates now, he sees it as a result of using OFA. Which is sad. Deku has such low faith in himself and any positive interaction he has with people only ever seems to occur after he uses OFA. (Except Uraraka) Even if it’s not about that, it is definitely a pattern Deku sees. He feels so deflated he has to knock himself for NOT being practiced and it just pops out with Bakugo. And he hopes that him knocking on himself will make Bakugo feel better in some way shape or form. (Good job! Bullying yourself always satisfies the bully! No notes!) To end off, Bakugo at the very least isn’t some Moron. He does take things in. There is no quirk that can move from person to person on the upfront of public knowledge. So he does consider the borrowed power a lie. Plus he takes mistakes as breaking him. And that kind of drive goes to show that although he always makes it personal, he does keep himself on the road to be the best. He doesn’t give up at the 1st sign of resistance and he forces himself forward. He now has to compete and he won’t give up. Humbled and humiliated seem to be the same to him. And it continues to be the fight of the incredibly high standard he has had with him all his life. And he won’t surrender it to anyone or anything. So that can still go places. Overall, a pretty decent episode. At least by season 1 standards. It does have trouble holding up as a standalone, but with what it sets up and having that context does make it better. And apparently proper antagonists can be introduced as well now. So we shall see that happen.

[@dekuisagreatmaincharacter]

I’ve written about in my weekly comment, but if self-sacrifice is an admirable and necessary quality for a hero, self-destruction is the dark side of that coin. It’s self-sacrifice taken to the extreme to the point of actually getting in the way of heroics, not to mention how harmful it is to Deku.

[@Kaempfdog]

@@dekuisagreatmaincharacter well self sacrifice is often a trademark of Empaths. They often give themselves to others. They want to solve others problems so they can unshackle themselves once they are better. Providing some type of relief. And it’s easy to fall deep into that rabbit hole. And once it gets exhausted…well…that DEFINITELY gets to self-destructive. I’ll talk about that depth later on. It just makes me antsy for getting to season 2. The depth change is IMMEDIATE.

[@tofu_golem]

I love all the personalities in this show. Every character is a joy, and they only get better as you get to know them. Except for the creepy little pervert guy. Believe it or not, that is the mangaka's self-image. Mina Ashido (the pink girl) has a fairly weak superpower. Her real power is her personality, which is a force of nature. I love them all. Iida is so uptight because he's placing a lot of expectations on himself. I don't want to spoil the details of that. Tsuyu is down to earth and so easygoing, but fierce and perceptive when she needs to be. Momo Yayorozu worked so hard to develop her mind, but still holds herself back with self-doubt. There's so many great characters.

[@LorisNoKami]

For this early part of MHA I always likened Midoriya's situation as he is starting out as a level 1 Character that's glitched himself a Level 100 ability, competing against a class of Level 30s.

[@halfknight2310]

Yeah. But it’s also not just him gaining a level 1 hundred ability. But he’s debuffed by his lack of knowledge to use this ability. And the fact he (at least right now) had an ability only specked into one area. So he was a glass cannon.

Welcome to the Ocean, Bakugo. You got mighty conformable in your guppy pond, but this isn't your pond anymore. You now in a class full of the biggest fish from other ponds. And you don't have power over Izuku any more. Your new classmates only see him as he is now, not the defenseless kid childhood or even 1 year ago. The world is changing, Bakugo. The question is, will you fight that change, or adapt to it?

[@stanfromuzbekistan8282]

Bakugo was a big fish in a small pond, suddenly he finds himself swimming with more dangerous fish and he’s struggling to remain the biggest fish there.

[@maddaya]

As you continue to watch Bakugo grow as a person, you will notice how quietly he makes his strides and progress. Once things click for him, or he decides something, his growth suddenly is leaps and bounds. He doesn't broadcast it, so paying attention to him is important, or you may miss the process entirely. The scene of his panic attack this episode is so glossed over by many, and it's a bit alarming. I'm glad you both acknowledged he was struggling, not in a negative way necessarily, but he was overwhelmed. Which is valid when you believe you were praised and special most of your childhood, and immediately humbled not just by other classmates but by a childhood friend you thought wouldn't be a threat. Secretly, he always saw Deku as threat regardless of his quirkless status. Side note to the unsettling sight of Shouji (the guy with multiple arms etc) those with very appearance altering or morphic quirks are sadly looked down on, or bullied, beat down by society. they are shunned and you'll see more of that in the show. just an interesting thing to keep in mind.

22:54 he’s a product of his environment obviously HE chose to be a bully, but growing up there was a huge emphasis on being the strongest !! spoilers for those that haven’t gotten to season 3 yet !! we get to see his parents after his rescue and people often point fingers to his mother for his behavior and call her abusive, granted she did slap him and blame him for getting kidnapped however i disagree with this opinion, as its implied as a gag in both the manga and anime and in the manga we get to see several panels of mitsuki worried about her son and looking back at his childhood

Calculus I is very easy with the formulas so it is VERY important to "discover" calculus by yourself the "old way" before the actual calculus equations. I think it's very common for teachers to let the class learn the basics traditionally

Ahh, Momo (the girl who criticizes the entire match). If only she was ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO DO STUFF IN CANON. Seriously, you’ll get to see her quirk later on and it’s one of the strongest in the series, but she gets treated as being useless for “real” heroics (namely combat) both in and out of universe and is never given the chance to prove herself in that way, being more and more screwed over by plot as time goes on.

My Hero gets some criticism here and there, but one thing I haven’t seen anyone criticize is Bakugo’s development throughout the show. Believe me, at the beginning of the show I HATED Bakugo, now he’s in my top 3. His progression is kinda slow-burn, but so very very worth it and deserved.

They didn’t watch the after credits 😭

[@williamhoeft2903]

This is my thinking from the previous episode. (I've got bad punctuation) I don't think I would ever want to be healed by recovery girl. I think personally that she could take seconds, months, or even years off of your life span in the long run of things. in the previous ep it was said you could die from exhaustion. Right so it's taxing on the body so I'm thinking it either speeds up time just contained to your body or it puts your bodies blood cells into overdrive so it heals at an accelerated rate. which brings me back to the seconds moths and years thing and what makes me think she's the true villain ending you slowly one creepy granny kiss at a time!

Deku's simping for Bakugo is another thing I hate. The guy's treated him like dirt since they were 4 and Midoriya still respects him enough to mostly out All Might's secret just to spare his feelings. It's basically a form of Stockholm syndrome. Mina and Kirishima later simping on him also dragged them down considering they're supposed to be avid bully haters.

[@felipeviana9949]

There’s this fan theory about how Bakugo’s temper, anger and anxiety might be actually a side effect of his Quirk, I’ll try to explain it here, and please let me know your thoughts. (TLDR at the end) At the basis of it, Bakugo’s Quirk, Explosion, consists of his body creating nitroglycerin that’s secreted as sweat on his palms, which he can ignite at will and control the size and strength of the explosion itself. However, nitroglycerin, when inside of the body, can slow down heart rate, and given how much of Katsuki’s body produces, it could slow his heart down to lethal levels. So, as a side effect, his body could induce emotions which elevate the heart rate (anger and anxiety for example) as a way to keep his heart rate stable at a normal level. Which would explain why he tends to lash out at people in situations where his nitroglycerin builds up without a release (him using his quirk). And why he’s usually calmer after a fight, where he purges the nitroglycerin stored up in his body (like how calm he is at the end of the movie, 2 Heroes if I’m not mistaken, because he’d fought the henchmen alongside Kirishima and Todoroki). And the same could technically apply to his mother, Mitsuki, whose quirk is glycerin and also has a temper and anger management issues. Obviously this is just a theory and none of it is confirmed, and that also does not excuse his behavior towards Izuku in any way, it just might be the root of his behavioral issues. TLDR.: basically his quirk gives him nitroglycerin poisoning, which slows down his heart, and his body uses anger and anxiety to regulate his heart rate.

One thing i noticed in the mha fandom is that people treat bakugo as an irredeemable villain, he was a bully sure, but his story doesn't end there, i think people project their own experiences of being bullied onto him, well, hate to break it to you all but he's not your bully. I think this because people tend to like or even stan actually bad characters, like literal villains that actually kill people, but bakugo was a bully, we all dealed with bullies, most of us have never meet a serial killer, so the bully becomes more real than the cartoon villain and thus irredeemable in our head.
