KYLE CROUSE: Here's a question from Blue Dragon! "​How would Shadow react if Maria was resurrected? How would the cast interact with her and would Shadow change with her being there?"

IAN FLYNN: Uh, it would definitely be shock initially. A degree of disbelief and probably distrust, because... he's probably of the mentality that he can't have nice things. So, how is she back? Is she a robot? Is she a clone? Is she a hallucination? Is she a phantom... thing? Is this a trick? Everybody else only kind of knows of her tangentially, so I think they'd be more accepting once they realize, y'know, what a big deal her return would be. And once Shadow got over himself and acknowledged that she's here and she's back -- assuming, y'know, assuming that she's just here and she's back now -- I think too much time has passed. He can't go back to who he was when they first met up on he ARK, but he might loosen up a little bit. Oh, now Maria has a kind of twenty-four-seven guardian angel just on the fringe. KYLE: [chuckles] Nice.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Please remember that nothing that is said on BumbleKast is canon! It's just some guys and their opinions occasionally spitballing ideas. If you don't like an answer, you don't have to take it as Word of God or anything like that. It's all just for fun!

Kacchan becomes rather quiet for a long while after that.

He still uses his quirk, but as far as speaking, he kind of goes a bit mute.

What were the last things he was going to say to Deku? He wasn’t sure, but he knew they weren’t kind. What was the last thing he said to him, anyway?

Of course, he knew what Deku’s last words were.

“Kacchan!”

In a panicked tone, a little breathless from running up to him so suddenly and shoving him.

Right before a near deafening thud and the feeling of something wet on his cheek.

It just…

It really happened so fast.

And it all ended with Deku saving his life.

Usually, he’d be angry. He’d throw a tantrum over the uppity idiot thinking he needed saving.

But that could’ve been him.

That could’ve been him.

That should’ve been him.

A splatter on the concrete. A little arm, separated from the rest of his flattened body.

They had to scrape him off the walls and ground.

Deku saved him. Deku died saving him.

And where he’d usually be angry, he was only empty.

Because if “useless” Deku could save his life and die, how much more useless was he, someone with a quirk, that someone quirkless had to die for him?

…Katsuki doesn’t talk about heroes for a long while after that.

—

“Bakugou-san, your quirk is amazing!”

“Bakugou, you made it to the top of the class again. You’re very smart!”

“Bakugou-kun, you’re a very good student with a strong quirk. Have you ever been interested in being a hero?”

People tell him these things often, now that he thinks about it.

But every time they mention these things, he imagines himself below the debris that should’ve fallen on him.

“Your quirk is amazing!”

It wouldn’t have saved me.

“You’re very smart!”

But too stupid to avoid getting someone killed.

“–Interested in being a hero?”

…He made a great one, in the end.

Perhaps it wasn’t healthy, being so preoccupied by thoughts of someone who could never come back. Someone that Katsuki himself basically killed. He wasn’t strong or smart enough when it counted most, and Deku picked up the slack when no one asked him to.

…Now that he thought about it, Deku didn’t have a quirk, but other than that, there wasn’t anything to excessively bad about him. In fact, he saved him even without one. So what exactly was so bad about Deku?

What had been bad about him?

…A lot of things.

He was nosy. He was a creep. He didn’t know better when it counted. He couldn’t leave people alone. He always tried to be a hero, practically obsessed with it when people kept saying he couldn’t be one. 

Deku proved them all wrong.

Deku proved him wrong.

Maybe…if he hadn’t tried so hard, things could’ve turned out differently.

Katsuki knew he was part of the reason Deku tried so hard. After Deku turned out quirkless, Katsuki was among the first people to tell him he couldn’t be a hero. So he kept trying, over and over again.

…Well, he proved him wrong.

But Katsuki, when his spiraling thoughts went especially far, wasn’t sure he was quite worth saving.

I don’t think y’all understand how crazy this is. Well, I know you do but I like yapping and I need to type things out to completely understand for myself what’s going on.

Katsuki pushed Izuku away their entire childhood after Izuku was diagnosed quirkless. Before that, it felt like he wanted Izuku to push himself in more things. In his own weird little way, he believed in him. Katsuki was good at everything and he was self aware about that so the reason he always singled out Deku to try out the things he was trying and comparing their furture quirks was because he always wanted Izuku as his rival. He saw something in Izuku that he couldn’t find in himself which at that age deemed him “worthy” of competing with him.

When Izuku was confirmed to not have a quirk and everyone was telling Katsuki that his quirk was amazing, he felt like Izuku wasn’t worthy of competing against him anymore and was offended that Izuku didn’t understand that. He legitimately thought that Izuku was trying to stoop Katsuki “down to his level” because he didn’t understand that Izuku just wanted to be around him and be friends with him. He wasn’t trying to sign up for his life long rivalship that Katsuki had made up in his head that his four year old self established he had already won.

Even then, Katsuki still believed in Izuku. In the TUMs where Katsuki is trying to chase down Nine but Izuku finds him first. He’s not surprised. He’s angry that he didn’t have the same skill that Izuku did in that department. Or when Izuku was talking about applying to UA, Katsuki didn’t laugh it off. He wanted Izuku to not apply at all because he knew there was a chance he could actually get in. Or when Izuku actually did get in, Katsuki wasn’t surprised, he was just wondering how. He has never not had faith in Izuku.

And now, after he established that Izuku never meant ill will towards him and realized that he was just being a jerk towards him for no reason, he started to view him as a proper rival again. Izuku is the only person in his life that has been able to push him to become his best self. He grew so much as a person. But, Izuku’s influence and just his care for him in general landed him wounded on several occasions now. He almost died. Yet he’s unable to think of himself first anymore like he used to.

He went to Izuku’s hospital room and cried like a baby because of Izuku losing his quirk. Because he lost that rival that wanted and needed for so long. He lost his second chance to compete with him after losing so much time. He feels like the person he cares about most just lost his dream because he wasn’t there to help. He blames himself for Izuku’s misfortune yet couldn’t care less about his own.

And from Izuku’s POV, he just experienced a heavy loss for not being able to save Shigaraki (yet/in the way he wanted to). He lost his quirk which made his dream come true even if it was only for a short time. He’s quirkless again yet the first person who came to check on him was the very person that used to give him hell for not having a quirk. The guy he chased after his whole childhood because he wanted to be like him and be his friend. And that guy that always used to push him away pours his heart out and tells him, “I wanted to play this game of cat and mouse with you for the rest of our lives,” and he can’t be anything other than shocked and reassuring at the admission.

This scene single handedly began the healing process for both of their inner child’s. Katsuki feels comfortable to show his emotions and admit to wanting a rival and Izuku finally gets to see just how badly Katsuki wants him around.

But, Izuku still hasn’t even truly acknowledged Katsuki’s apology. And even in this chapter, all he said were things to make Katsuki feel better. He hasn’t explained how he feels about anything yet.

I want Katsuki to tell Izuku that even if he’s quirkless, he still wants to be by his side. And I want Izuku to tell Katsuki that he forgives him for everything he’s done. I NEED THEM TO TALK!

HORI PLEASE LET DEKU TALK ABOUT HIS EMOTIONS NOT EVEN JUST ABOUT KATSUKI BUT ABOUT EVERYTHING. I NEED TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN IZUKUS HEAD. LET THEM HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION THAT ISNT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF BEING CRITICALLY INJURED. I BEG!!!
