So loud, ‘Kacchan’.
Old先's fanart for the movie "The Legend of Hei"
I got a very painful headcanon here: So Deku fights class A and Bakugou hasn't taken any concerning damage yet. Deku defeats everyone except Bakugou and decides to walk away. Bakugou flies towards him with his blasts and Deku turns around and just lands a sickening blow to Bakugou's stomach (which shouldn't yet be healed if were taking his shoulder into account as well) and Bakugou just crumples to the ground and 1-A just watches in disbelief.
ANON MY HEART OH MY-
I hope u don’t mind me adding on (this is v fanfiction-y so beware):
Bakugou crumples to the ground as Deku looks down in confusion at him and at the class who are staring at him in disbelief. However, he quickly ignores them as he reaches out to Bakugou and starts asking what’s wrong and if he’s okay. He knows Bakugou would have been able to take that kind of hit. He has been able to take it many times. Deku pulls up the shirt of his costume to see that he has a bandage on his stomach— the spot that he hit. Deku then remembers Bakugous sacrifice and starts apologizing like crazy. However, Katsuki isn’t mad as he pulls Deku into a hug

Why is Satoru so fixated on this idea of “never letting anyone be alone again”?
The answer at face value is obvious, Suguru was alone after they started taking solo missions, but let’s really talk about the gravity of that statement, and also the relevance that Shoko’s “I was there too, you weren’t alone” has with this concept.
I’ll be discussing the manga so spoilers if you aren’t caught up:
This analysis cooks I tell you
In Jujukai 0, Satoru sees that Yuuta tried killing himself with a knife to prevent hurting other people. He wants to confine himself completely and be alone, exactly like what Suguru had to go through a decade earlier. Satoru recognizes this and forces Yuuta to join the first years so that he won’t be alone and face the same descent into madness that Suguru did. He feels that he failed Suguru, and this is shown time and time again throughout the story, such as here:
Here, Satoru had a discussion with Shoko, who is remembering that conversation. He said that he’ll raise the next crop of sorcerers to be allies so no one will be alone (his prime motivation for everything), and then Shoko responds effectively, “I’d never fall in love with either of you, but even still, I was still there, you weren’t alone”
But she isn’t recognizing the full meaning behind Satoru’s words. Because what happened after Satoru became the strongest? This became his belief:
He advanced at such a quick rate that he left Suguru in the dust. And that caused both of them to be alone. He was alone in being the strongest, and Suguru was alone in being unable to reach that same level, alone to deal with curses on solo missions, and alone in his descent of madness. It drove them apart, and got in between their bond.
I think Shoko recognizes that much. But I thought it was weird when she suddenly said “I’d never fall in love with either of you” because it was like…well, yeah, but why say that? Bringing up love seemed kind of random and out of place.
And then I realized it’s because she recognizes that Satoru and Suguru were in love with each other. Being in love with someone means that you feel a certain level of depth unmatched with anyone else. You feel like the two of you are at the top of the world, or in your very own world, apart from the rest, completely untouchable. Time and time again we see this shown throughout Satoru and Suguru’s interactions.
That is what Shoko means when she says “I’d never fall in love with either of you”. She’s saying “I recognize that I never felt the kind of love you two had for each other, but you were still never alone.”
And I get that. But because she doesn’t comprehend the bond they had (and really, she couldn’t, because the only ones who can truly feel it are the two of them), Satoru and Suguru really were alone once they split up. Maybe not physically, but emotionally, they were all alone.
And Satoru left Suguru first. Not physically, but emotionally. Because of the stark difference in their abilities. And that is what lead Suguru down his dark path, because he felt alone, and Satoru wasn’t there to chase away his contempt for non-sorcerers like he used to.
When Satoru says he wants to raise strong allies so no one is alone, he’s saying that he wants no one to be the strongest, he wants everyone to be at the same level, so that there’s no barriers, there’s no blind reliance on power causing someone to take what they have in front of them for granted like he did to Suguru.
That’s why this hits harder given that context:
“Trust, huh? To think you still had some of that for me.”
Suguru spent these last 10 years thinking that Satoru didn’t trust him, didn’t need to, because of the difference in their abilities. Why trust someone else when you need only rely on your own powers? Or, in the animated version, Suguru says,
“You want to talk about trust? I didn’t think I still had any of that left, with the shit I went through.”
Satoru left him alone when he “alone became the honored one,” breaking Suguru’s trust. From that point, he didn’t pay real attention to Suguru. When he asked Suguru “have you lost weight? Are you okay?” And accepted Suguru’s half-baked answer, that showed Suguru that Satoru didn’t really care. Or at least, wasn’t paying enough attention to know something was seriously wrong. Broken trust. Satoru had abandoned him and their bond.
Too late, Satoru recognizes this. And he makes his vow to raise the next generation to be strong allies so that no one gets left behind like Suguru or isolated and “special” like himself. You can even see it when he decides to put Itadori in the room right next to Megumi. He never wants it to happen again.
