While the second opening was disingenuous to the heart of Izuku's solo arc, the actual content of the anime itself has remained quite faithful. Even going so far as to add or change some details to better represent the characters and their feelings. It's almost as if these changes were an amendment to the manga, just in case the manga didn't answer certain questions well enough.
Like the true reason Izuku decided to leave U.A. The manga presents Izuku's loved ones as a group, with Katsuki there as the last person your eyes should look at. But will readers make that connection? With the removal of just one word in the anime, the group part of the sentence, it shows viewers a more solid, concrete reason: It was explicitly because of Katsuki nearly dying.
Another example is how the various translations of Katsuki's line ("waatteru") created fandom friction, and they would flitter between "I know" and "We know," depending on who was translating it.
Tumblr media
I always thought it had a very personal "I know" vibe to it because as Katsuki stated, and this is something reminded to us only 3 chapters earlier: He is the person who "knows" Izuku best. The anime removes ambiguity of the I know/We know debate by having Izuku apologise only once he'd made it into Katsuki's arms, making their exchange of words appear even more intimate and direct to one another. Katsuki knows.
Tumblr media
Then after he stumbles his way into Katsuki's arms, there is that bonus clip of him being awake to hear Katsuki's gentle forgiveness of him. To express that the last of his resolve has crumbled because of Katsuki’s apology and being held in those arms he feels safe. He feels loved. So Izuku gives himself fully to Katsuki's care, murmuring out his beloved’s name with a "Ka…” right before finally succumbing to sleep. I think this extra moment makes the feel of their apology seem even more romantic… because it's supposed to.
Tumblr media
And now Ochaco's handhold! It being featured in the opening gave some of us grief every week simply because this arc was never about IzuOcha, it was about Katsuki and Izuku.
Katsuki realising his need for Izuku to be by his side and losing SLEEP over not knowing if he's okay. Katsuki's proud statement of knowing Izuku best and that he couldn't be left alone because of his disregard for himself. Katsuki instigating the search and rescue of Izuku. Katsuki humbling himself before Endeavor and Nezu, setting aside his pride in exchange for the safety of his most important person and best friend, PLEADING Endeavor for his help because he's SO AFRAID of Izuku being out of his sight and losing him forever.
Katsuki saving Izuku's life again. Katsuki humbling himself a second time, apologising to Izuku and telling him to put some trust into him and their hero friends; that they can be relied on to help him. Katsuki telling him his ideals of saving people weren't wrong, and they can only win by saving everyone: Izuku, the people at U.A and the people in the city.
The beautiful poetry in Izuku’s reason for leaving, to protect his most precious person, being overtaken by his reason to stay: Izuku’s unconditional, everlasting love for that person and his overwhelming need to be by their side. And here Katsuki was, finally telling him it was okay to; he wants him there.
Even Daiki-kun said the last of Izuku's resolve left him because of Kacchan’s heartfelt apology… Yes. The opening’s handhold was really out of place.
Tumblr media
And after Izuku is brought back to U.A, we get to the real IzuOcha handhold... But rather than grabbing his hand like she does in the manga, they have her grab the more impersonal wrist area instead. It's so hard to believe we are in a timeline where Bones are making an opening Ocha-centric, when it shouldn't be, and yet NERFING her handhold in the ACTUAL anime content…??????
All of this has got me thinking that maybe Hori himself has been directing Bones to make these changes - to make BkDk's growing love for each other a more prominent fixture in the story that’s almost impossible to miss, while dampening the IzuOcha teasing into little more than kindness between two good friends. And in doing so, the anime has now become spiritually connected to the manga because this is the exact same direction the manga has been going in lately.
Tumblr media
Why else were all of these changes and enhancements made in the anime? Maybe it’s because Horikoshi is preparing people for the bkdk romance that's about to go into full bloom.

Never forget Hori said chapter 11 was where he decided to keep Katsuki around Izuku and not have him develop separately and this is the exact same chapter where Denki asks Ochako out, she blows him off for Izuku but Izuku blows HER off for Katsuki who actually does wait for him! Hori told us his plan THAT long ago.
Tumblr media
For clarification…Hori said he planned to have Katsuki develop as a separate vector from Izuku but this chapter and him crying in front of Izuku made him realise some things and change his mind. And now we have even dudebros calling Kacchan a love interest cause of how intertwined he is with Izuku.
Tumblr media
It makes sense if you think Heroes rising was supposed to be the original ending. If at the start he planned to keep Katsuki away from Izuku and only have him accept Izuku and his hand at the very end and imply something between them but then he realised he should and CAN go much further.
So he discarded the original ending in a movie and developed bkdk MUCH more in the manga. He already had Katsuki accept Izuku a long time ago and now Izuku is the one suppressing his feelings and running away for reasons unknown to all of us because he has been hiding it. Their platonic relationship was already concluded and yet, Hori keeps taking it SOMEWHERE.
There’s nowhere platonic wise to go and yet, the buildup is happen in. Bkdk will not be implied or open. It makes no sense for it to be implied after everything. Hori already discarded the implication in Heroes rising because he’s gonna go all the way with them in the manga.
There’s a way to write an implied relationship and bkdk ain’t it. He’s gone way too far now and unless he spells them out, we’ll have plot holes and it will feel awkward. Because “control your heart” storyline is what’s locking canon bkdk in place. Hori literally cornered himself with it. Now if it only happened once, in chapter 210 and never again, it would be a cute implication. But it was turned into an ongoing storyline and it keeps happening without being addressed. Because Izuku keeps shoving it under the rug and that’s NOT a solution.
That’s a storyline that’s been ongoing since 2018. It has to be fully spelled out, addressed and explained and if it’s spelled out, so will bkdk be. It will HAVE to be cause there’s no other way to explain why this is happening except to spell out Izuku’s feelings.
Tumblr media
I’ve spoken before about this but Katsuki’s the reason this keeps happening and he hasn’t witnessed it yet. This only makes sense if he’s supposed to eventually witness it cause Hori deliberately took him out of every scene Izuku lost control of his heart because of HIM. It means that he’s the solution. He’s gonna witness it in the end and put a permanent stop to this. How will he do it? Process of elimination.
Now he’s done all actions.. chased Izuku down, almost died for him, sacrificed so much for him.. and it didn’t help Izuku’s problem. Cause chapter 348 narration tells us that unless the feelings are spelled out IN WORDS, Izuku doesn’t recognise them, it makes SO MUCH SENSE. The build up is perfect.
Tumblr media
There’s also absolutely nothing more platonic that he could SAY to Izuku to help him. That apology was beautiful, heartfelt, honest, vulnerable and yet, it wasn’t what Izuku wanted to hear. The problem wasn’t solved. His heart is still not calm. He is still not facing Katsuki. And we know for a fact the feelings are NOT negative.
Tumblr media
So by the process of elimination, the literally only thing Katsuki can do to help Izuku now.. the ONLY thing left..is a romantic confession. Because actions and platonic words didn’t work. If anything they made it worse and pushed Izuku away even further. It has to happen. Katsuki did everything else and he’s still being built up for SOMETHING while Izuku keeps getting worse and worse.. and what we have now, is Izuku being reckless and selfish for Katsuki yet again…as explained in this post.
OH also.. I love how Ochako tries to talk to Izuku and he just goes “ EVERYONE tried to talk to me but HE just left home..”
Tumblr media
Ochako being put under just “everyone” and the use of a “HE” for Katsuki instead of “Kacchan left home” for some reason makes it even more romantic..
Reminds me of chapter 318 and the “HE was the one who came” when Katsuki showed up to save Izuku.
For Izuku.. HE is the one and only. I swear this is so damn romantic..

Izuku: Wow, Britain is so big! Look at all the cool buildings!
Kirishima: Look, It’s Hogwarts!
Bakugo:…That’s Buckingham Palace. You know Hogwarts is fictional, right? It’s important to me that you know that.
