you literally cannot make me give a single shit about bakugou until he actually shows even the vaguest sign of being sorry for what he did to izuku but the likelihood of that is so low. bakugou continues to be an entitled bastard and his opinions about quirkless people haven’t changed in the slightest nor will they since presumably everyone agrees w him
Has the manga explained what Todoroki Rei’s diagnosis is?
In the absence of a diagnosis I’m seeing a bad possibility and a worse possibility.
Bad possibility: She’s committed herself because she has no money of her own and nowhere to go but back to Endeavor’s house. No one has provided her with other options. (Natsuo? Is he too broke, or she thinks she’d be a burden? Her parents? Do they care about her even a little?)
Worse possibility: Endeavor has had her involuntarily committed to try to keep the whole mess under wraps. She’s embarrassing. Rei probably could be found competent looking at the actual facts, but lawyers and confrontation would be involved, and she just can’t.
…Other possibility: This is actually normal for the mental health care system in Japan, which I know nothing about.
She had a short-term… whatever. Psychotic break, dissociative episode, I don’t know what it would be called. Hospitalized overnight, definitely. Hospitalized until all the legal fallout of injuring the child is worked through, justifiable. But – in the absence of some additional diagnosis – I don’t see actual treatment taking more than a year. Tops. Less if she had somewhere else to go.
And if Endeavor was worried about preventing another attack, all he’d have to do is divorce her.
And if the Worse Possibility is the case… ffs, Endeavor, if you want to make amends, you don’t send flowers, you stop falsely imprisoning her.
If Rei doesn’t have a proper diagnosis and reason for continued hospitalization, the whole Endeavor redemption thing goes from “not to everyone’s taste what with the whole reconciliation with an abuser” to “asking us to believe he is a good guy while he is actively doing something morally reprehensible”.
when the fandom sucks you find other people who really deeply dislike bakug0u and huddle with each other against the cold, cold winds of shitty meta and a poorly written character arc
it’s also worth noting that t0doroki would never ever ever date someone who’s like…..a mini version of his father. bakug0u isn’t as bad as 3ndeavor and i’m not suggesting as such but they’re designed to be similar characters and bakug0u blows up like 3ndeavor does.
not only did it reinforce the “ah, it was mutual, they just didn’t understand each other” narrative pushed in the final fucking exam arc (SHITTY) im expected to believe that bakug0u unloading all his emotional labor onto 1zuku and beating the hell out of him is some kind of positive development (at the very least he should not have won that fight) and honestly i just. REALLY hate how every confrontation w/ bakug0u goes he just falls back on old habits and horikoshi never takes the bully-ism he wrote himself seriously urgh
