discourse ahead

i don’t fucking understand bakudeku like,, at all?? bakugo literally bullied deku since childhood and nothing can reverse that. i love bakugo as a character but even after all his development in the manga, he is still in no place to ever be in a close relationship with deku, be it platonic or romantic.

even all might acknowledges that, after their fight, izuku and katsuki can finally be proper rivals. they’re finally on equal footing and can both push themselves to be the number one hero. throughout their entire lives, katsuki has always looked down on izuku and izuku has always seen katsuki as above him. yes, this dynamic changes in the manga. but katsuki still sees deku as a rival; someone who triggers his aggression and represents everything he strives to overcome. this is in no way close to friendship.

and i’m not mentioning the abuse katsuki put izuku through because people will just cite the deku vs kacchan fight and how their relationship has changed, which i agree with as a bakugo sympathizer.

tl;dr: bakudeku is unhealthy and borderline abusive. feel free to unfollow if you disagree.
