Good chapter. Hope it doesn't go full Naruto like it's echoing though.

why are people so obsessed with comparing this to naruto edit: Also I started liking Bakugou during the tournament arc when he was the only one who gave Urakara her due.

Endorph posted:why are people so obsessed with comparing this to naruto Naruto was also a series about a superhero school full of interesting side characters with unique powers, it had a strong start and a couple incredibly good early arcs, and it mostly played shonen tropes straight but delivered on them super well. Its hard not to make comparisons. People have been worrying this series will fall into a shonen pit of bad plotlines eventually like Naruto did, like most shonen manga do, and it hasn't yet. And yeah I think that moment in the tournament is where I also started to like this guy. It helps that he followed that up with being the sorest winner to ever win a shonen tournament. The kid loses even when he wins. Bakugou's a way better Vegeta than Vegeta ever was.

this scene specifically is pretty similar to naruto. like yea, the comparison is usually not fair, I get that. but this one is bakugou's been watching scrublord deku get better and better and even overtake him occasionally, plus the person he admires most has shown a greater interest in deku than in bakugou himself. now he wants to fight deku to prove his worth because his sense of superiority is threatened. the parallels to sasuke are pretty obvious here. I don't think we're gonna spend the next 300 chapters chasing bakugou as he goes full emo or anything, but this scene absolutely has similarities to the way sasuke was characterized in early naruto. if you're caught up on why naruto in particular, well, it was really popular and everyone knows about it? I guess you could try the dragon ball/vegeta comparison but that's way less appropriate

the reason sasuke was bad was that he was a character who only existed because the editors demanded he existed and then he was made the focus of the entire story because he and the characters related to him were dominating the popularity polls, neither of which is true of Bakugou. Sasuke was also bad because even though he was in a very similar situation to Naruto, everyone loved him and put up with all the terrible poo poo he said and did, which, again, isn't true of Bakugou. Bakugou has consistently faced consequences for his actions and only has two or three people in the entire class who put up with him, and he certainly doesn't have every female character arguing over who gets to date him. Even if Bakugou were to become much more of a featured character, he wouldn't be able to do it in the same way as Sasuke because there is literally nothing connecting the two characters. They don't even have the same relationship with the main character, since Sasuke and Naruto didn't know each other from a hole in the ground until the story started, while Deku and Bakugou have known each other their whole lives. It's fine to have a fear that maybe this manga will go downhill as the years go on but worrying that suddenly literally everything about the manga and its characters will change overnight is just pointless. You might as well worry that the next chapter will show that Deku died in that first incident where All Might saved him and the entire manga has been a trial on his way to Heaven.

nobody is saying that bakugou is bad like sasuke was. obviously they have differences because they're not the same person, but that doesn't mean that similarities don't also exist. early sasuke's arc from around the exam until he fights naruto on the roof is pretty similar to the way bakugou has interacted with deku. I never said I was worried that he'd turn out like sasuke either so idk why you're directing that at me

It's only like Sasuke if he were to lose and then run off to join the villains. What I expect is that he doesn't win (loss/double KO/draw) and actually starts to respect Deku for who he is. In his own way of course...

Remember folks: NOBODY IS SASUKE I do like how the difference in their ideals is so stark that Bakugou cannot even fathom that what All Might saw in Deku wasn't fighting prowess, but a good heart and the desire to save people. It's entirely incompatible with his world view. I have a feeling someone is going to break the fight up before it gets big, and all might'll have a conversation with bakugou.

Bakugou will probably figure out that the moment when All Might decided to give Deku his powers was when Deku "saved" him and oooh boy I look forward to that!!

Piriwi posted:It's only like Sasuke if he were to lose and then run off to join the villains. Precisely, but it's set up in a way where it's a realistic thing that could happen and the thing Horikoshi will hopefully avoid. I don't think Bakugo will defect, personally.

I'm cool with the development right now. Bakugou doesn't seem to be going full Sasuke because he's not losing his head over it. Seems more like he wants to get his feelings right through a bro fight. Don't think he's gonna emo out or anything.

No, I'm with Monsieur chocolat and the others: this isn't bakugou breaking bad, it's him figuring out things in the best way he knows how. This is the guy who told the big bad where he could stick it when the chance of corruption came up, after all; I doubt any kind of answer one way or the other is going to change his motivations.

All Might didn't stop their fight last time because he wanted to give Deku the chance to duke it out. I wonder how his attitude has changed since then since he's been reading Teaching For Dummies

I think that this probably the best point for Bakugou to bring this up. Deku spent all this time trying to catch up to Bakugou, and after the license exam its official: Bakugou must now try to catch up to Deku. Just this fact alone probably lead to this confrontation.

Bakugou isn't Sasuke, because in Naruto, the rivalry between Narootoo/Sasook seemed to actually build up to something after the chuunin exam, only for kidnapping to follow. This time the kidnapping came first, and now after these two get this out of their system I assume their rivalry will finally start building to something. It's basically what I wanted from Naruto 47 years ago. I have faith Bakugou is gonna be a

Somehow I knew it was gonna turn into a slobberknocker between Deku and Kacchan but drat that chapter was intense Also, Pokemon update: I now have an Alolan Vulpix named ShotoTodroki, a Mimikyu named ToruHagakure, and a new Crabrawler that I've bestowed the name of All Might to (Nana Shimura has been let go as of this post). I also got a Turtonator that I was gonna name after Bakugou, but it only half-fits since Turtonator has explosive attacks, but is more defensive compared to Bakugou's offensive approach

Yeah, I see this fight going a chapter or two then it ending with them both loving exhausted. Nobody goes evil, but maybe a little character develops. One thing I see popping up in this chapter here is one of the problems about the world of MHA that we were introduced to in the first chapter (embodied in Bakuguo's view of the world and Todoroki's very existence) is the inherent inequality of the new system and how people are valued more based on random chance. A good quirk gets you praise and means you are a better person in many people's minds (including Bakuguo). So all this is the violent conclusion of Bakuguo's worldview finally shattering.
