What’s your take on Bakugo being well...a bully? Do you think he’s redeemed himself? He’s come a long way, but man, that first episode with Bakugo picking on Deku always makes my blood boil
hey there! i’ve written my thoughts on Bakugou’s character arc here, if you’d like to check it out!!
- How Bakugou isn’t ready to apologize for what he did to Izuku, but the narrative is working towards that
- Uraraka confronts Bakugou about his feelings of fear towards Izuku in the Omake
- A meta about Bakugou and Izuku’s relationship throughout the series and how it was abusive
- A meta about Bakugou’s development and how he’s starting to feel guilt about what his actions led to and may begin to regret what he did towards Izuku
- A meta about Bakugou’s building guilt about what his actions caused
- A meta about how Bakugou has feared Izuku and his potential for most of his life
- Bakugou is giving Izuku his support in a round-about way after his and Izuku’s fight
- A meta about why Bakugou has already been punished by the narrative over and over again for his actions towards Izuku, and why Aizawa punished Bakugou (and Izuku) by giving them chores
- A meta about why the narrative keeps pushing for Bakugou and Izuku to reconcile and why it would be better for the both of their mental/emotional health
- A post on Bakugou’s character growth and why I refuse to ignore or excuse the awful things he did
- A post on why i like Bakugou, how the narrative is treating him, and how he’s growing
- A meta about how the entire series is Bakugou’s redemption arc
- A small update to Bakugou and Izuku’s relationship in the manga so far
- My favorite Bakugou character moments with detailed explanations why
long story short, he’s done a lot of bad things, but he’s a complicated character with complicated motivations. it doesn’t excuse his actions, but in the end he’s still just a child who’s still growing and learning, and realizing the error of his ways. the entire series is his redemption arc, and he’s slowly making his way towards becoming a better person.
