Despacito oh dios mio
stan and kyle. let them be best buds again. i’m begging.
CONGRATULATIONS SOUTH PARK ON EPISODE 300!
In Chapter 193, in Midoriya’s dream, Horikoshi hides two of the past users of One For All from Midoriya and us readers… for some reason. Maybe, it’s because we would recognize them?
And sure enough, Tumblr user @chonideno pointed out in this post that two figures in Midoriya’s dream look similar to Bakugou and Kirishima. The more that I look at these shadowy figures, the more that the similarities stand out to me, too.
Take the figure on the left.
This figure has similar hair style as Bakugou, has some sort of piece around his neck, and is wearing gauntlets on each hand.
Now, take the figure on the right.
There are baggy pants and some sort of belt-buckle shape on the stomach, as well as a face mask and high-spiked hair. And, possibly the most iconic part of the silhouette – Kirishima’s shoulder gears.
Of course, there are differences. The figure that looks like Bakugou is missing his headpiece. The figure that looks like Kirishima has a different headpiece that allows his hair to stick out a different way. But even still, the similarities are striking. In my mind, it’s too similar to be coincidence.
So, how could something like this be possible? Some people have theorized that it is their future selves. Horikoshi has mentioned that there will be a time skip in the series, so us seeing Class 1-A as pro-heroes is actually quite possible. This would also explain why the hero costumes are slightly different.
However, unless time travel comes into play, it wouldn’t make sense that characters in the future would be past users of One For All.
Unless that’s not who Midoriya is seeing at all.
Midoriya mentions that someone in the line-up of past users is missing. There is already some sort of discrepancy between the past users and what Midoriya is seeing in the dream.
So already, we know that things are happening in this vision, that Midoriya does not understand – including the identity of these hidden figures. They’re in shadow, which Midoriya points out. He attributes their lack of clarity to how far away they are.
But what if that’s not why they’re hidden?
Midoriya is only at 20% of his One For All power. The first user of One For All says so himself.
And only about 20% of Midoriya is visible – just enough for his eyes to be uncovered, allowing him to see the vision in the first place.
The rest of him is in shadows, just like these two figures. So, what if these two figures are hiden not because they are far away, but because they have not yet received One For All? What if they are future users?
I don’t know what would happen in the future for Midoriya to pass this quirk to Bakugou or Kirishima rather than to someone younger than him. Seems like it must be something bad. It also might suggest that, since they are the last figures that Midoriya sees, that they are the final users of OFA. Also, if this is the case, this means that not one, but three past users of One For All are missing.
The plot thickens!
[ 10:14 a.m. ] • bakugou katsuki
bakugou katsuki was originally about to head back to the dorms when he heard a rustling beside him. it came from the lush green bushes that lined up the walls of his highschool campus. and behind the greenery was a badly hidden figure sitting on the ground. it was a good morning, the sky was a vibrant blue and everything was pleasant. and you were too big for the small bush you tried to obscure yourself with. it made bakugou snort as he dug his hands to his pockets and looked at you. normally he wouldn't bother but you were an interesting person to him and you were — as much as he hated it — you were his friend.
“what in the fuck are you doing?”
“shut up!”
when you raise your head, his crimson eyes meet your teary ones. you were frowning and looked terrible, biting your lower lip hard to stop the sob from coming. it startles the blonde student a bit but he suppresses that.
“are you crying?”
“no!”
he crosses his arms over his chest and smirks at you, knowingly. “not yet. why don't you just go to your room and cry there, stupid?”
“the tears will fall before i even reach the door, stupid!”
“that's on you then, idiot.”
“what are you even doing here, bakugou?”
he fights the urge to blush from embarrassment. funnily, like you, he's also battling his emotions. bakugou forces a pout and nervously pats the tip of his shoe against the pavement, “just didn't want to be with the other extras yet. you?”
he curiously watches you sigh and look at your hands, “i want to disappear. i just... i miss my home. i like it here but i miss my home. but i can't go back, right? so, i want to disappear and let time pass and wait for all the trouble to go away and return home.”
before you even have a chance to look up and scream at bakugou to not tell anyone about your homesickness, a jacket is thrown to your face. it covers your whole head and neck and you stare at pure black, with the scent of men's cologne and fading sweat.
“here, you can disappear now. just for a while, though. i’m just lending you my jacket.”
it was unexpected of bakugou, which kinda clears up the tears in your eyes.
“go on, cry you big baby.” bakugou urges. “cry while you can. it's stupid.”
“me?” you sniffle.
“yeah, it's stupid of you trying to hold it back when in the end it's going to fall out anyway.”
tears start to roll down your eyes and you sniffle more, “can i – ?”
“ugh, fine you can wipe your tears with it. just shut up now and get on with it.”
“are you gonna stay with me?”
“yeah.” he says. “just for the jacket.”
“okay. thank you, bakugou.”
“tch.”
when you finish crying and pull the jacket down, bakugou’s got a water bottle and a few squares of tissue. “here. you look shitty.don’t you fuckin’ dare tell anyone about this.”
“okay,” you nod, smiling a bit. “that was good, by the way. the crying. can i disappear in your jacket again in the future, bakugou?”
“eh, we’ll see.”
[ 10:38 a.m. ]
Ad*m’s aunts names are Gaslight Gatekeep and Girlboss
So they really made Stan the “I will literally murder all of you but I’m soft for my (boy)friend” trope canon huh
a Baku shoes masterpost
because that’s exactly the kind of person i am
to start off with, little Bakugou doesn’t really seem to have a preference for shoes. on the left, it looks like he’s wearing sneakers, and the middle also seems to be some kinda sneakers. on the right he’s wearing sandals.
in the series proper, these are the first shoes we see Bakugou wear
however, they’re likely just school issued shoewear because Izuku is wearing the same kind of shoes
this is further evidenced later on, where both are wearing completely different shoes.
these seem to be their own personal shoes, since Izuku is wearing his signature red shoes here. we can’t get a clear image of them but, Bakugou it seems, favors loafer type shoes
this is once more shown in his two character pages, where he’s shown wearing casual clothes and on his UA character page, where he’s wearing his own shoes and not UA’s school regulated shoes.
next are Bakugou’s hero outfit boots.
Now, Bakugou actually didn’t design them. They’re an interpretation of his initial designs that the hero company came up with
however, he clearly seems to really like them because he specifically wore them during the Sports Festival. either that, or he wore them because they’re specifically designed for battle and work better than any of his regular shoes
(interestingly, he wears them two different ways during the festival. during the Cavalry Battle, he wears his pants over the boots, while later on he tucks the pant legs into the boots)
later on, while at the training camp and when he was kidnapped, he was wearing shoes that seemed like some sort of sneakers?
it’s hard to make out, but they don’t look exactly like loafers, and there seems to be laces on them
in one of the colorspreads, he’s wearing what looks to be combat shoes. this is the only time we’ve ever seen him wear these kinds of shoes, if you exclude his hero shoes.
return of The Loafers: red colored formal wear edition
and here we have some pretty cool lookin’ snow boots on the 2nd popularity poll colorspread (also why is he wearing snow boots while being shirtless. child. this makes no sense)
and finally
more loafers
long story short Baku really seems to like loafers
and boots, sometimes
but mostly loafers
dangan.. gay ppl I modelled for school
Old art but my humor is still the same.
