We can make it come true.
Join us. Kacchan: Interesting offer. Here’s my response: Fuck yourself with a rake. The sharp end. With the spokes. Shove all the spokes up your asshole. All of them at once. As far as they go. Until they’re poking out your throat and you choke on them and die. Then I’ll kill you again. And then I’ll kill you a third time for good measure. And a fourth time because you had the fucking audacity to kidnap me. I’m angsty not evil you fucking shitstain.
I’m fairly certain it’s just a cutesy nickname, no extra meaning attached.
Bakugou is his last name–his full name is Katsuki Bakugou (most people address each other by their last names though, hence most people calling him Bakugou-kun.) And “-chan” is a common honorific for girls and for little kids. My assumption is that when Bakugou was much much younger, friends and teachers called him Katsuki-chan, which then got shortened to Kacchan.
I’m not overly familiar with the nuance of honorifics, but this cracks me up because it’s like three layers deep of “cutesy nickname”-ness
It uses Bakugou’s first name, which is already unusual
It uses the -chan honorific, which is NOT typical for a 15 year old boy
It’s even cuter because it’s a petname version of Katsuki-chan (Kacchan)
This just cracks me up endlessly because it’s being used for fucking Bakugou of all people. The angriest, most violent 15 year old in the world. Is fucking “Kachaaann~~~” And what’s more it’s Deku of all people who he lets call him this.
I figured it out. The reason I love Kacchan is because no one puts up with his bullshit. Like I’m tired of edgy, angry anime anti-heroes who just get endless praise because they’re so talented. Then there’s Kacchan, the edgy, angry, mega-talented anime anti-hero who everyone absolutely fucking drags because he’s a piece of shit.
And “everyone” includes the manga-ka himself
Like everyone gets info pages scattered throughout but only Bakugou’s fucking drags him and his stupid baggy pants
honestly what cracks me up about the latest mha ep is the fact Deku was apparently watching Bakugou and Kirishima closely enough to know Bakugou Actually Likes Him, a fact Kirishima himself did not actually seem to be fully aware of
I know the answer for WHY Deku knew this is he’s emotionally perceptive and it was very noticable to someone who’s grown up with Bakugou even if you weren’t paying too much attention
but his whole breakdown of them was so specific and passionate and detailed- SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOL YOUR RELATIONSHIP HAD BEEN SLOWLY BUILDING-that the idea he’s been tracking this development with intense interest is really funny to me and honestly not too out of character.
he saw this unfolding and was SO FASCINATED to see Bakugou actually liking somebody this much, like it was this PHENOMENON he couldn’t help be riveted by both as someone who never thought this day would come and from a scholarly nerd perspective. he even took notes on their profiles in his nerd notebook. It’s something so bizarre and at odds with everything he’s known about this kid for ten years he simply must document it and attempt to understand it.
log date 847: they went on multiple study dates and Kirishima came back from them not only alive but completely unharmed. WHAT IS GOING ON . what is his secret. Must keep an eye on future developments.
He’s also got a personal stake in this because “MAYBE IF KACCHAN DATES SOMEONE NICE HE’LL CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND STOP FREAKING OUT AT ME SO MUCH. MAYBE THIS WAS THE SOLUTION ALL ALONG. I’VE HEARD IT CAN HAPPEN”.
he has hopes. he has dreams. he has a relationship chart for them and it’s a little weird.
