If you were to ask me how would I describe Bakugo’s development in short words, it would come across as being boring and predictable. Let’s start with the fact that despite being a secondary character, Bakugo has no real purpose/contribution in the main story line. His involvement with Deku and OFA doesn’t amount to anything other than mindless yelling, guilt tripping, and just him treating it as a competition to try and surpass Deku when he unlocks his other quirks. The only reason he’s involved in a lot of what’s going on is because of his popularity. He started gaining popularity when he won the Sports festival and because everyone like the stereotypical angry rival trope. He can be replaced by literally any other character and nothing would change.
It’s basically a pattern whenever Bakugo is involved with something.
- Bakugo will treat others beneath him and continue to call the extras.
- Whatever is going in the story if it’s a fight between the villains or something school related, he’ll treat it as a competition.
- He’ll either verbally attack Deku and everyone around them or get physical to get what he wants.
- Deku won’t see this as an issue and continue to gush over Bakugo about how he’s a good friend and the idea of him being the symbol of victory
-Anyone that calls out his horrible behavior will do a complete 180 and talk about how whatever he said either makes sense or to give some baseless excuse about how he changed
- Aizawa, All Might and or anyone in UA will make some claim about how his some kind of an inspiration for 1A and Bakugo is trying harder than everyone else(completely ignoring all of 1A’s accomplishments and improvements throughout their first year)
- After winning or coming out on top whatever Bakugo will take his win for granted and will act like it doesn’t mean anything while acting aggressive when someone compliments him
- What ever punishment or consequences he gets(not matter how fatal is) will be minor and the story will find to way to have him come out at top without any struggle
- The story will have characters feel bad, guilty for Bakugo for something so minuscule and or try to punish them in a similar manner like Bakugo (A recent example of the story punishing characters because of Bakugo’s actions is in the Card OVA. I didn’t bother watching it because I knew it was just a product plug for training cards but from what I viewed from other people’s discussions, the match between Deku and Bakugo ends with a tie. Apparently Bakugo threw another hissy fit and not only destroyed the card game but blew up the dorm with everyone inside. Instead of punishing Bakugo for destroying public property and potentially injuring his classmates, Aizawa decides to punish all of Class 1A and ban them from playing any other games in the dorm.)
I know everyone has their own interpretation on how they feel about Bakugo and that’s perfectly fine. I don’t have problem if you like him, but Bakugo is written as if everything he did or stood for never mattered. Izuku, Class 1A , UA and by extension Horikoshi, wants the audience to believe that all the positive aspects about his character somehow outweigh the negatives and we’re supposed to accept that Bakugo has fully grown while at the same time instantly forgiving him for being a spiteful and petty bully. No matter what happens to him, he’ll still come out on top as if what he went through wasn’t consequential or lethal. He’s constantly giving wins and random asspulls to favor him despite either doing the bare minimum of his supposed development or not doing anything at all. Bakugo in the eyes of others will always be seen as the true MVP and is the one that always has to win. He’s nothing but a pet under the care of his creator who will go out of his way to make every other character look bad and pathetic than they already are; including the main protagonist.
Muzan as a medication ad
I decided to do this solely based on canon, except for F which are so bad that they transcend the rule. I also put this in the lens of do I enjoy watching them, or do they infuriate me. Most of the ones in G are there because I can't tell who they are from the picture, or are so minor I don't get why they were on the list to begin with
Hawks was the hardest to place because as I've mentioned before I love villain fanon Hawks, and hate Canon for all the missed potential and the guy being shit.
Before the last arc, Deku would have been in C, and I felt most criticisms of him were undeserved. I still feel a lot of them are dumb, however, he's canonically a hypocritical, suck-up to labels, abuse apologist, idiot, etc. As much as it feels like character assassination it's canon, same with Shoji. I also just don't care to read fanfiction of him, and feel he takes a lot of roles where other characters would make more sense. If I'm not already following someone I'm not going to read fanfiction with him in it
Most of E I hate as much if not more than F but the fandom either doesn't write about, or treat them like the pieces of crap they are, looking at Mineta of course.
Fun fact Edgeshot is in E for bringing Bakugo back, and causing me both meta and dramatic issues for me. What the fuck was the point of killing Bakugo to immediately bring him back. How the fuck did Edgeshot know he could do this? How the fuck did he know how to do this? Why the fuck is he doing this for some random teenager he has never interacted with before, in the middle of a war? And now why the fuck does this fucker get to live, no one gave a single fuck about Edgeshot but he gets to live!
Centipeder would have been in E if not for the fact I know what my ringtone for him would be, Red Flags by Tom Cardy
Uraraka owes her rank in B for her arc with Toga, otherwise, she would have been in D. For the plot forgoing her original motivations so they could turn her into a generic love interest. Toga tried talking crushes with her 'twice' everything else regarding that shit, which started before they ever met, is on her
I actually love Endeavor fanfics as most of them either a treat his abuse for what it is, or b I view them as an own on canon Endeavor and his incredible laziness and selfishness. But Twitter exists and they flock to him and his bullshit so to F with him.
Speaking of Fs, Bakugo is a whiney spoiled rotten brat with a silver spoon shoved into his mouth since birth. I hope he never breeds. Damn near every shit thing that has happened to him, was either brought on by himself, literally applied to everyone, he literally doesn't care, and even with the two exceptions I'd give this, the Sludge guy, and being chained up at the sports fest (he should have been disqualified), do not justify his shit
Congrats to Dark Shadow and Tokoyami for being the only hero (student) to make it past B
Needless to say I love villains, Dabi is by far my favourite, followed by Himiko, they are way more engaging and convincing than the heroes. And by convincing I mean it actually feels like they are going to put in effort to make their goals happen, not just wish really hard. I truly wish we could have seen how Shigaraki's goals shifted during his reign over the PLF. We had already seen how he wanted the League to be happy and an exception to his goal of destruction
So I found this comment in a poll asking which is more overrated: anime or videogames, and I think this comment applies pretty well to the state mha is in. Emphasis on the explosions part.
The fact that Horikoshi had ALL the opportunity to have a "power of friendship" moment with the League coming together and breaking Tomura out of the possession/mind control and going on to band together against AFO but instead chose to kill them off or imprison them without any closure is my villain origin story
Movie!Gabriel: Where have you been? You didn’t return last night?
Show!Adrien: Wait, you care?
Movie!Gabriel: Of course I do.
Show!Adrien: (teary eyed) The girl I like didn’t like me back.
Movie!Gabriel: oh… my boy.
Show!Adrien: (hugs his dad) It hurts Dad.
Movie!Gabriel: I know… it will be alright. I’m sorry I haven’t been present since your mother…
Show!Adrien: I just want you present now.
Movie!Gabriel: (crying) my baby boy.
(And now for a swap in the other direction)
Show!Gabriel: Where have you been?
Movie!Adrien: (sad from earlier) So now you care?
Show!Gabriel: What is with that tone?
Movie!Adrien: (starts walking to his room)
Show!Gabriel: Adrien. I am your father and you will tell me where you were this instant.
Movie!Adrien: Just go back to focusing on your work, it’s what you really care about. (Walks off)
Show!Gabriel: (fidgeting with the ring) what is wrong with this thing, why didn’t that work?
☾I finally began the multi-chaptered fanfic based off of my AU here.☀
Summary:
Kokushibo stumbles upon Muichiro and Yuichiro in the midst of a desperate struggle-one battling a demon with little but his bare hands, and the other on the brink of death. Kokushibo impressed by Muichiro's skills, and recognizing them as his descendants, saves them, and they perceive him as their saviour. Initially contemplating turning them into demons, Kokushibo convinces them that embracing demonic nature is superior to remaining human. Yuichiro, enticed by the idea of becoming powerful enough to protect his brother, readily falls for the deception. However, Muzan seizes an opportunity. He will only allow Kokushibo to turn them into demons unless they infiltrate the Demon Slayer Corps and reveal there secrets and where the Ubuyashiki family is hiding. As they infiltrate the corps and become the newest Hashiras, Muichiro excelling in ‘Moon Breathing’ and Yuichiro adapting with his own breathing style “Eclipse Breathing” and sabotage missions. Muichiro begins to feel torn between loyalty to Kokushibo and newfound friendships with the other slayers, and grapples with a moral dilemma as he uncovers the truth that had been hidden from him, all the while the threat of being revealed as traitors looms closer.

A SFW request where Muzan is REALLY just a timid and easily scared guy, who everyone somehow thinks is terrifying and evil.
Only the uppermoons knows what he's really like and is very protective of him because if his kind and timid personality.
Could I have some headcanons about their thoughts on this Muzan?
I don't usually write for Gyokko due to my incompatibility to understand his personality well enough to write about him, but I figured it'd be a good writing challenge for me.
Wordcount: 996
The title “Demon King” is already fearsome enough. No demon dares utter the king’s name in fear of his curse he’s instilled to the species. Any demon who talks bad about their progenitor often faces the wrath of the Upper Moons. Demons who get summoned to the Infinity Castle assume the king is mad at him, why else would he be shaking in anger?
In truth, he’s shaking of fear. The Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, the one who leads the Demon species, is a total coward. Understandably, having a burning feeling in your throat after taking a vaccine in hopes to strengthen the weak body that left you bedridden for almost your entire life would be scary. Finding yourself with growing strength and hunger after taking said vaccine, then killing the doctor who made a cure to save you from death, then the terrible thirst for human flesh and cannibalizing the species you used to be, would be terrifying for anyone.
Muzan’s newfound abilities and thirst for blood left him feeling scared, especially once the Demon Slayer Corporation formed and sought out to destroy him. He eats humans to survive just as humans eat cattle to survive, why are they attacking him when he’s just trying to live as another other human would? To save himself from being hunted down, he’s found a way to multiply demons and build himself his own army to defend himself (more so slow the slayers down from getting to him). As the years went by and demons populated Japan (possibly the entire world) six demons made their presence known in the demon world for their strength.
As possibly the first Upper Moon and one of the oldest demons to still exist, he’s been by Muzan’s side for centuries. The Upper Moon originally joined Muzan after gaining his mark as a Demon Slayer, but after learning a slayer with a mark doesn’t live past 25, he became a demon.
Now that he works under Muzan, he's seen Muzan true self (the one most demons aren't aware of) he's not entirely sure if he's scared of the demon or not. The only reason he doesn't fight or kill Muzan would be because of Muzan's abilities. Muzan may be a coward, but he can certainly protect himself if it comes to that.
Kokushibo thinks it's a little admirable, to live in a world where those hate and seek to kill you, then to dominate an entire species to your beckoning call, it evens the scale out and makes up for Muzan's cowardliness.
Douma thinks it's quite enjoyable that Muzan is a scaredy-cat. He likes hiding in the Infinity Castle and waiting for Muzan to turn the corner so he can jump at him (he almost got his head slashed off for that). Douma might hold back on his teasing of Muzan if Koushibo says something about it.
During meetings, he'll purposely act out to see if Muzan is brave enough to punish him (it usually results in a fight with him and Akaza, a argument with Daki, or Nakime having enough and teleporting him out of the Infinity Castle).
Douma doesn't understand how mean his actions are due to his inability to understand or feel much emotions, but Akaza can hit him enough to realize when his words are uncalled for. Douma doesn't see Muzan as weak, he understands Muzan's strength, he just doesn't have much attachment to his own life and therefore has no fear in teasing Muzan.
Akaza loathes Muzan's real personality. He doesn't like weak people; demons are no exception—especially if you're the demon king. He believes that Muzan should pass his title down to someone with a more authoritative persona, but that's until he realizes how powerful Muzan truly is.
Akaza may not like Muzan's timid personality, but he does respect Muzan's ability to hold up in battle, earning Akaza's position as the third Upper Moon. Akaza doesn't know whether to interpret Muzan's kindness as him pitying Akaza for being weaker than him, or if Muzan's just truly being nice because of the goodness of his heart.
Hantengu understands Muzan's timid personality. Hantengu will gladly hide with Muzan somewhere if one of them feels threatened or scared. Despite them both having a timid personality, he does still feel fearful of Muzan and acts like he's walking on eggshells because he knows of Muzan's true strength. He believes Muzan's personality is misleading.
Gyokko isn't sure whether to feel pity for Muzan or make fun of his personality. He might make a few teasing comments, but unlike Douma, he values his life a bit more. He thinks it's artistic (oddly enough), he believes Muzan's appearance and aura screams "intimidation" yet Muzan's true personality is just being a scared and loving coward.
Gyokko likes to make vases for Muzan, he believes Muzan won't take it as a sign of disrespect to his higher up (Muzan loves the vases).
Gyutaro laughs at the irony; the most powerful demon being a scaredy cat, it's funny to him. Gyutaro doesn't make fun of Muzan because he's afraid of Muzan's strength. Daki, however, does not find his personality as funny like how Gyutaro does. Daki has a little crush on Muzan because of his thoughtfulness to her and Gyutaro.
Daki will defend Muzan and lash out at Douma and Gyokko if they pick on Muzan (Gyutaro will reluctantly back her up). Gyutaro might feel pity for Muzan at times, but in those cases he doesn't really do anything other than listen more to Muzan. Daki aims to please him so she does whatever he requests of her, going above and beyond to prove how useful she is to him.
