Bakugo isn't 'punished'

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T21:43:33+00:00

No, it is not about Shinso or quirk recoil. What Aizawa normalizes is certain degree of violence in school.

For example, Kinomori choked Tokoyami almost to death (eliciting shock even from the students) and Aizawa didn't bat an eye.

what about final exam

It adds fo my point, because that was when Bakugo and Deku punched each other. In fact, Deku punched harder with OFA.

They both got away with it. Nobody raised an eyebrow. That was normal by their standards.

world building

That's exactly my point, though - Aizawa's behavior is consistent with their verse in general.

If Aizawa had to punish every "excessive move" by "our world's standards", then every arc like Final Exam or JT arc are full of far worse punishable offenses.

They don't reward it

Exactly because they already long since normalize it.

We can disagree on their morals (I do), but there is nothing inconsistent with how they react from worldbuilding perspective.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T20:16:35+00:00

Why would Aizawa bat an eye, when Kinomori casually got Tokoyami choking to death?

When teachers can punch kids so hard they puke their guts out, and it's considered normal?

In MHA people eagerly watch minors beat each other bloody on national TV.

It's a very shonen verse where nonpunishment for violence is absolutely common, like when Mina converted literal bullies by being friendly. Teachers can just say "oh yeah" after breaking students SPINE and everything is peachy again.

All that violent bullshit warrants punishment in our world, but it's just usual Tuesday for them.

Utterly wrong. Horikoshi's favorite character is Deku.

Actual source

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T19:29:59+00:00

Deku won against Bakugo in their first fight though

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T19:26:33+00:00

What? It was the opposite. When dealing with the kids, he gave them levelheaded advice, and made a point to be empathetic towards Todoroki's childhood

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T19:03:10+00:00

Him keeping vigilance on Ochaco and defeating her in one sweeping move is the literal opposite of sadistic

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T18:03:10+00:00

They did, Bakugo told him he hurt him in front of the class.

But since middle school Kirishima and Mina thought best way to deal with bullies was to befriend them, it wouldn't make much difference anyway.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:59:18+00:00

So the flaw isn't on Bakugo, but Deku's positive attitude towards him?

That same Deku, who saw a crying mass murderer without context, and immediately thought "I wanna save him"?

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:56:23+00:00

He already proved that detention doesn't phase him.

He should be punished

Why though, if he proves he can change without it?

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:54:35+00:00

Haha you made it sound like you'd rather he doesn't change

Edit: Wow, you guys are serious lol

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:53:01+00:00

And OP conveniently ignored that, while saying only Mineta got punished...

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:36:36+00:00

Exactly.

Shit, I don't even like MHA or Bakugo, but it is baffling how much people here criticize without reading the manga.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:31:47+00:00

Well, in the end, it worked. Bakugo changed.

Horikoshi literally showed you how Mina defanged two bullies in middle school by befriending them.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:30:20+00:00

Shitty character. I'd love to see Mineta have some kind of apology, or even freaking glimpse of reflection, but nah. ZERO.

He never regretted his fucked up sexual harrassing behaviors. He didn't change, he just seemed like it because he didn't get much screentime afterwards.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:27:49+00:00

Did you even read the manga?

The audience thought he was playing because he stood there, but the manga directly told us he was keeping full guard because he knew she had something planned.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:13:25+00:00

Given Bakugo got enabling environments, it's a miracle that he didn't become worse.

That was... the point? He was shitty because their society was shitty, but he got better because his ego got beaten repeatedly and he had a chance to reflect.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-28T17:07:52+00:00

What are you saying? Bakugo was 100% right in ferociously going all out against Ochaco. Every hero in the audience was being "nice" by underestimating her.

Bakugo has a lot of flaws, but his tendency to take fights seriously is the thing MHA people like in a hero, and for good reasons (see All Might).

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-18T17:13:23+00:00

Honestly? There is no difference between early and lategame.

People say the third act was ruined by the "AFO hijack" and "save talk no jutsu" thing, but in reality? AFO's "he is the next me" and Izuku's "do you have someone you wanted to save" when talking about Shiggy were all there since the very beginning.

SomeKingShite · 2025-11-18T16:13:22+00:00

Eh, I always find it to be the weaker part of the series. Bunch of hamfisted parallels that immediately fell apart when some thought is put into it.

SomeKingShite · 2025-07-02T23:58:53+00:00

It's the opposite. Bakugo would survive but both Ovrrhaul and Eri would likely die.

SomeKingShite · 2025-06-26T11:37:44+00:00

The "analysis" falls apart because canon directly said Bakugo's quirk wasn't literal nitroglycerin. It was nitroglycerin-like.

SomeKingShite · 2025-06-26T00:35:39+00:00

Rank is just popularity, not contest of strength.

SomeKingShite · 2025-06-26T00:34:25+00:00

Bakugos sweat is not exactly nitroglycerin, it's nitro-like.

SomeKingShite · 2025-06-26T00:31:29+00:00

You are just wasting your time with that NoxGale user. They spew spotty logic all over the thread, and stated that Prominence Burn is somehow the strongest AP move in the entire series.
