My Hero Academia - 6x9 Katsuki Bakugo: Rising - Group Reaction

It's so wholesome when you see Aizawa thinks about Eri before he cuts his leg off, because without his quirk no one would be able to train Eri.

[@AintNoWaye]

facts

[@TheZapan99]

There's a reason manga readers call him "Dadzawa."

[@Sephy723]

The way I interpret it is that Aizawa, like Deku, also believed that Eri's Quirk is a kind Quirk meant to restore hope to those who lost them, & not a weapon of despair that takes it away as wielded by the villains. Aizawa thinking of Eri before he cut off his own leg is like him saying, "Don't worry, kid. Your Quirk won't end the hero Eraserhead."

We see in this episode that Bakugo and Deku truly take after each other when their backs are against the wall. Deku said he starts hurling insults when he gets into a really intense fight like Bakugo. Where his confidence flares up and he has an overwhelming desire to win. And in this episode, Bakugo embraces Deku's behavior of running out to save whoever needs help. Anyone, even if the other person feels they don't need it. When Deku is pushed into a corner, he adopts Bakugo's win to save mentality. And now Bakugo has adopted Deku's save to win mentality. They both care about each other so much. Now onto Shiggy, that boy has the endurance of a lifetime. Taking blasts from Endeavor. Strikes from a dragon. Blasts from Bakugo. Multiple 100% smashes from Deku. All while resisting AFO's voice in his head. In fact, the only reason AFO was able to temporarily take over was because Shigaraki's body and mind were overwhelmed for a second. Which says a lot about Tomura's sheer willpower. Both sides are going beyond their limits.

Fun fact - if you ever read the My Hero manga, a lot of Horikoshi's art straight up looks like the most visceral horror art. I believe his next project is going to be a horror manga, even.

I love that this episode deeply delves into Bakugou's head. Having known Deku the longest, he's the first to catch onto his self-destructive hero complex. It also gives us more perspective on how he contemplates how he treated Deku, and, much like Endeavor, also wishes to atone for his actions.

I think it’s rivet stab mixed with forced quirk activation and that’s why there are red lines in the black tendrils, you hear all for one say forced quirk activation when he was fighting all might and it was the same red lined black tendrils.

bakugou's development and growth is so beautiful. I am in awe of how far deku and Bakugou's relationship has come from the first episode.

The Bakugo stuff in the ending was only for this episode. They did the same thing with the episode where Twice died. Always pay attention to the endings!

[@9TrixieTurner6]

Endeavor was straight cooking his ass. The animation on his fire attacks is always dope.

[@NoctilucaBloom]

We saw the "rivet stab" quirk which impaled Bkg and Endeavor during AFO vs AM. He used it to fling AM around as well as a conduit for another quirk, forcible quirk activation. One of my favorite episodes so far from this season, it was absolutely jampacked and the character writing is excellent. Many season 1 flashbacks and some translation differences from the Japanese version. So let me talk a bit about that because it all ties to a plot point I'm personally very interested in: In the manga and subs, Bakugou's "even if OFA is some kind of cursed power, it's still our only hope" is instead "even if OFA is a cursed power, OFA is..." and the rest is left ambiguous. That's always given me the impression that Bakugou has mixed feelings on the quirk: It might be cursed but it's the only power that can match AFO. It's allowing Deku to live out his dreams but is also destroying his body. It came from AFO but in the hands of AM it inspired a whole generation of young heroes, etc etc. And while saying "OFA is our only hope" puts emphasis on the quirk, I think it being left ambiguous with flashbacks to AM and Deku puts more emphasis on the wielders instead. "From now on Deku is the name of a hero" was originally "I'm the Deku who always does his best" in Japanese. And instead of Deku quivering in his shoes as he stands up against Katsuki in a training exercise, we get a shot of Deku now, looking feral and wild and spraying blood everywhere with his arms all messed up. It's scary: He's the Deku who always does his best and his best is currently killing him. Bakugou is aware of how Deku's heroic spirit can be detrimental to his health while we've only ever seen it be praised before. Lastly, Deku's "that's why I'm here" as he punches Shigaraki was "that's what this power is for" in Jp, and it's sad how he doesn't seem to think of himself as a part of OFA, but as a vessel for it.

[@mrrd4444]

The endings have been changing per episode whenever someone's major arc is shown! It happened with Twice, it happened with Bakugo here, and it'll happen more times in the future.

[@lightning_amv]

The ending sometimes is a little different depending on the episode. In this case, there was that slight change to reflect the current episode; a little easter egg. It's going to be the same case with some of the future episode if you guys want to look out for that

[@roarkoo4648]

I've never seen a character cries as much as Deku but Deku's crying is probably one of the best moment in this show. From crying for himself not being able to be a hero, to crying from rage of not being able to protect his mentors and comrades. Both reasons made him charge head first into danger. A statement to not underestimate an emotional man. Made me worry of what he could become if he's being pushed too far. Will he able to save people with all his might and a smile on his face like superman. Or will he be on a mission to exterminate all evil by any means necessary with a face of rage like the punisher.
