Characters with wasted potential : Himiko Toga
Honestly it's such a shame she really was one of my favourite villains but was done absolutely dirty by the plot.
I have a few problems with togas character which a lot of them are caused by horikoshi himself:
HER INTERACTIONS. What I mean is that her interactions with characters tends to be inconsistent for the most part I really love her relationship with the league and how she views them as a family but it made no sense to me how her relationship with Izuku is gone/non existent and how her relationship with ochako is. I get that hori made toga specifically for ochako but I don't see the appeal in togaochoa or how they're supposed to be Parallels?
HER BACKSTORY. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of toga's backstory and how it shaped her as a person but i think it could of been expanded on earlier like why did it have to be the last arc for her to shine and then get almost everything stripped away? Also there are some inconsistencies in togas backstory since it is implied that she had siblings so what happend to that?
HER SCREEN TIME. What I mean by this is as the manga continues her score time decreases a lot and it comes to a point where she almost always shares her screen time with ochako which harms both of them
THE WAY SHE IS SEXUALISED. I don't know I blame this on both hori and the fandom but why is that she has to be clothless in majority of the scenes like their definitely could of been another way to avoid that.
HYPOCRISY. A lot of the time toga can come of as a hypocrite. I mean she loved people like twice and the league yet she never tried to kill them or consume them while she does that with the people like toga. TO FIX THIS MAKE HER BE CONSISTENT and treat everyone in a similar way. ALSO THE CONCEQUENCES AND HER FEELINGS FOR TWICES DEATH ARE BAREKY EXPLORED AND ARE PUT ASIDE FOR TOGAOCHA!!! WHICH SUCKS
As you can see there really isn't many problems with toga's character and she really is one of Horikoshi's best characters and villains. This is what I would do to improve her :
Give her more of her own screen time and monologues - horikoshi can already do this very well considering her whole fight with curious and her relationship with twice focused a lot on her as a character and helped developed her.
Have her interact with more characters and give us more moments with the characters she already interacts with - what I mean is that we get more with toga and the league and her feelings about them. We can also get more about how toga views izuku and ochako well I do understand her views of ochako I would of liked to see both of their relationships develop a whole lot more.
Fix the inconsistencies in her backstory - Toga has some major inconsistencies in her backstory that could be fixed or addressed. For example, it is implied that she has siblings so show us the siblings, show us how her family felt. I used to be a fan of the monoma being related to toga theories because I feel like that would of been an interesting dynamic especially if explored in canon but I do understand if it clashes with the todoroki family plotline but I still like it and it could add more depth and complexity to both of them.
Give her and ochako more Parallels- maybe Iam stupid but I really can't see the parallels between them except of both of them having a crush on izuku and wanting to become the person they have a crush on
There are two routes you can go with Himi's character which is the original route that horikoshi took which actually is a pretty solid route or the other route which is to actually redeem her and make her someone who shows others that you can change for the better when given the chance and opportunity
Toga is a brilliant character who seems like the most redeemable villain but I like the ending she got it made sense for her character. Toga is someone who tried to love the world around her but the world never appreciated or liked the way she expressed herself. While there were definitely problems with the way she expressed herself instead of getting help with learning how to use her quirk safely and quench her thirst for blood she was just abused and beaten into putting on a mask to hide who she was. As we know that mask broke ( her mask breaking can also be something related to her canonically having a crush on ochako making her a bi character however I DO THINK THAT PLOT POINT COULD OF BEEN BETTER) and left toga insane and obsessed with the idea of love and becoming someone loveable. Hori is also smart with her character design as it can be hinted or implied that toga does self h@rm and the way she dresses tries to make herself more youthful and cuter so she can appear as someone who is easily loveable. I also love the sneaky ways hori utilises spider lilies symbolism with her character as in multiple character pages and manga panels when she is talking about blood and her quirk there is always spider lilies. Also the ending, when one of her buns is undone it symbolises her death as she sacrifices herself to become one with the one she loves.
In conclusion, Toga is a very solid character who is a symbol of those who are critiqued and discriminated for being different in society yet she lives the way she wants to and finds her own happiness in a strange place and in a unexpected way even if she ended up dying for it.

I remember reading a post somewhere on Tumblr, I don't remember the exact one, I know it involved how Uraraka's plot was handled and how it could've been handled better.
One part is saying that Twice should've been her villain since they both dealt in poverty, one had support while the other had nothing.
And I think that would've been way better than what we got. Because if Uraraka and Twice were to have more genuine interactions with each other, she probably would've seen some of herself in him and how she could've turned out if she didn't had her parents or her friend's support.
Twice also probably would've been touched that a hero had suffered something similar but is able to keep moving forward despite the hardships and not having as much.
So what do you think? You think it would've worked better than the stupid love triangle that's happening?
Hi @theloganator101 👋,
Yes!! Twice as Uraraka's villain would have worked so so much better narratively.
In fact, this will be an unpopular opinion, I feel like because of how Toga and Twice were set up by Hori, their roles in the narrative being switched would also work better if one of them had to die.
Hawks killing a minor (Toga is seventeen) would be harder to excuse and brush under the carpet for him. So more consequences.
Twice would feel extremely guilty because now his worst fear has happened and his best friend has died because he trusted the wrong person.
Twice having a big moment of going full villain in the final battle would be more impactful and jarring than Toga who was honestly a full villain before she joined the LOV. Since he would go from a kind, goofy guy led into villainy and crime through his circumstances, mental illness, poverty to someone consumed by the need for revenge (rather like Dabi.)
Speaking of Dabi, there was more of a friendship between him and Twice and him and Toga. So having Twice fighting Uraraka getting more distraught because he was thinking he lost another friend while fighting her would be more impactful.
Also his fight with Uraraka would be more focused on his grief, his circumstances (that are rather like Uraraka's sans support) - the parallels between them both would be interesting to explore. Uraraka would have an easier time empathising with him.
Hawks would not have a fun time - could imagine Twice sending a legion of Toga clones his way, and only calling off the attack when Uraraka gets through to him.
Plus we would see more Twice asking the honest questions to her like "How do you keep going?" "How do you stay so positive and strong? I admire you, dude." "I was so stupid I trusted the hero who went and killed Toga-chan. How do I know youre not like the guy that killed my buddy? Toga-chan just wanted a place to belong like me..." Uraraka I could see providing him with the answers, support he needed as well as helping him forgive himself for what happened.
Toga (other than her sweet moments with Twice) was set up as an unrepentant blood yandere. Her friends? Her family? No mention of them (no build up of a mysterious past like Dabi either.) She's also a mass murderer prior to joining the LOV - so that's harder to redeem than Twice who wasn't and to my memory only committed burglary.
In my opinion, the Toga/Uraraka fight as it played out in canon was a mess. Hori seemed to try to do too many things at once and failed to give any of them real depth in the process.
Not only that by he failed to explore Toga's vengeance for Twice in more depth by distracting it with the love triangle B.S.
Hori doesn't allow her to really go all out trying to kill Hawks like she could have with the clone army.
He failed to explore Toga's backstory properly (I.e did her parents actually hit her? Her kissing her friends wound better - what happened there? Did she actually just press her mouth to the wound and suck? We don't know but she's covered in blood.)
Uraraka just her 'bond' with Toga, calling her the "cutest" and saying she wants to talk about romance now is all SO forced. Whereas the parallels with Twice were all already there.
TLDR - Twice should have been Uraraka's villain instead.

FAN :Toga Himiko can be a bit of a self-harm.
It might not be that long. I was just reading for fun and came across a fan of Toga saying, “Tōga wears a shirt, or she wears clothes that cover her wrists. Wear a bracelet, etc. because there may be scars from self-harm.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They “think” that because of Toga, she hates herself and therefore harms herself. and make her want “Sucking the blood of others” so as not to be oneself And you are so pathetic, wah wah But what do you know?
Tumblr media
How are you going to explain this picture to me when I don't see anything resembling bite marks or scars? And do you know why Toga likes to wear clothes that are bigger than her size? Until the wrist was closed and her little fingers were visible.
Tumblr media
They look small and cute when they wear them, right? And now tell me They wear it as fashion. Or are they wearing it because they don't want anyone to see the scar? This story has been bothering me for a long time so I brought it up. You can imagine, but don't go overboard. It would be better.
Don't get me started on Stan. That guy has a knife armband there. Do you know what he's doing? Trick the hero's eyes into thinking he took out all his knives.

I love gentle criminal are we say his hero now
Tsukauchi being entirely correct all chapter a crime is crime the past doesn't go away this gives me some hope that the lov will be held accountable for there crimes
Tumblr media
Yes no matter what crime you've committed your still human at the end of the day but there's a but
Tumblr media
You can only really change if you have the desire to change
Tumblr media
And of course we have gentle criminal actually acknowledging his mistakes unlike the lov and actually trying to make for them point being the villains are human and should be treated as humans but should be held accountable for there crimes and crime is a crime the past doesn't go way
I know people want the lov to get a redemption that's not happening first to even turn there lives around they would have to have the desire to change none of them want to change
And none of them acknowledge the crimes and mistakes I know some people genuinely want toga to have redemption but how can she have a redemption when see doesn't even think about how her actions affected the families of the boys she killed even after twice death
For any lov member expect for kurogiri his nomu to get a redemption they actually have realise that they are wrong for murdering innocent civilians and heroes and I know much lov stans complain about the heroes dehumanizing the heroes when the villains do the exact same thing
The lov doesn't even acknowledge the people they kill as human dabi constantly dehumanizes shoto the league litteraly uses the nomu and don't even considered the fact that dead people are used to create them don't even consider that those people had families don't even consider the fact that the doctor owned orphanages and children hostiptals so atleast some the nomu where made from children
Kurogiri being a prime example being made form shirakumo innocent 17 boy who there now using as a tool
As you can see it's not the heroes responsibility to redeem them if the lov members want any version of redemption they would have to decide to change on there own just like gentle criminal la brava lady nagant and endeavor

I've never like Toga since she's such a hypocrite. She knows how it feels when someone she cares about is killed, yet proceed to kill people without any remorse, not even considering the feelings of the victim's family. Not to mention her idea of "love," the urge to suck the blood of a loved one to the point of exsanguination. If that were the case, she would have killed Twice too, at some point.
Notes:
*Anti LoV
*Anti-Himiko Toga
*Himiko Toga Critical
Pretty much.
Tago’s quirk pushes her for blood, but she has been shown to hold back her urges to kill, she just CHOOSES NOT to. As you said, she understands the fear of death and the pain it can cause yet she continues to do it. And despite what others say, she never had to. It has been proven that she does not need to kill to satisfy her quirk.
Tago is selfish. She only cares about her own life and needs. She has empathy but purposely ignores others for her own desires. Even when looking at the results of her actions, and seeing an entire city destroyed because of her, all she thought of was herself.
Would it have been different if her parents had been better? Maybe.
That doesn’t change the fact that SHE still took a lot of lives with her own hands, helped others to take even more and, if not stopped, will continue to do so. And even if she does stop due to a power of love bullshit speech, that doesn’t erase the things she did.
Regardless of the reasons, she KNOWINGLY did all those things, knowing the outcome. She made a CHOICE knowing those choices would cause harm in some way to others.
The lives she stole can never come back. The pain she caused can never be mended. The very least that should be given to the people she hurt is the knowledge she won’t hurt anyone again and that she didn’t get away with it.
Sadly, she will. She’ll get away with all of it. Her violent assault on Saito, her killing spree, her acts of terrorism--all of that will be forgiven because the world of BNHA decided that her pain matters more than anyone else's.

You know it’d be funny if it weren’t so sad how many times the villains are the ones to attempt to open some form of dialogue.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Only for the heroes to respond “No. You hurt people. Shut up.” Or perhaps worse; “I just don’t care.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then wonder why they keep resorting to violence when there must be better ways available. Surely they, the heroes, take no part in fostering their belief otherwise.
Tumblr media
I wonder if this will come back to bite them? Like eventually some of the hero kids are gonna directly ask the League to trust them to act as the next generation of heroes and guardians of society; only for the League respond:
What, you? Mr. “Come home to your abuser”? Mr. “Just be a good role model for the next generation to solve discrimination”? No, its not gonna work that way Ms. “Consequences for your actions”. Because you’ll just say “but what about this or that or these guys who’d be inconvenienced” instead without doing anything. So no, we don’t trust you.
Because really, this stuff does genuinely make them hard to trust right now, especially when it keeps happening. And I want them to grow past that; but I also think it’d be neat if they ran into trouble for having these views at all and had to really prove they grew past them.

Ah fuck it Changes I would make to mha if god came down, pt 2
Fuyumi Todoroki should have been a hero and the more I think about this the more I will die on this hill. A) there's a severe lack of important female heroes and while Fuyumi is a side character I would have her take Endeavwhore's place in almost ALL of the times they fight Touya, both to give her more presence and because Touya being 'taken down' in any capacity by his abuser kind of sickens me. B) I want Enji a lot less present in the Todoroki plot than he currently is, even if he still gets some kind of a redemption. Fuyumi being a hero could both take his role physically and ALSO would give Shouto an actual reason for wanting to be a hero. C) I've always wondered like... why exactly Shouto would continue wanting to be a hero as he distanced himself from his father. His admiration for All Might doesn't seem like a good enough reason if his entire life has just been so isolated to only a few people and the major presence in his life his is abusive father who he's only ever seen misuse the power he has as a hero for his own gain. Fuyumi being a hero would actually give Shouto another hero role model to look up to, another reason to only use his ice, and give him a CONTINUED reason to want to be a hero. D) Also, Fuyumi's supposed to represent the 'fawn' response to abuse, and so her actively trying to do exactly what her dad wants and make a hero of herself and STILL be overlooked and discarded by him could really hammer in how Endeavwhore doesn't actually give a shit about any of his kids, even if they do what he wants; unless they're strong enough to beat All Might *with fire* like he wants he doesn't care.
I'm changing the entire entrance exam. It emphasizes entirely the wrong thing - killing things - above what heroes are actually supposed to focus on: saving people. If your hero school and society puts such an emphasis on 'taking down the bad guy' as opposed to saving people as heroes are supposed to do, that should actually be a point of discussion. That said, even if hero society still emphasizes defeating villains and looking cool for the camera above saving civilians, I'm changing it anyway:
Paper portion is the same as we get very little detail on it. My only change is UA students are tested on three foreign languages as well: English, Chinese, and Korean. They're expected to have a high level in all of them, mainly to add emphasis on just how hard UA is to get into (1 in 300 acceptance rate is fucking INSANE)
Practical portion!! This is completely revamped. Instead of the robots, current UA students are used as stand in civilians during a villain attack in a simulated urban area (a la the canon exam). There's only one giant robot, a few smaller ones, and the zero pointer. Students are put into groups of ten and are tasked with working together to rescue as many people as possible and take down as many villains as possible. Villain points are still emphasized over rescue points (which can now be gained from rescuing civilians and taking down the zero pointer, though very few do the latter), and the UA students are given pathways under the simulated area they can escape to if need be for safety. The practical feels more well rounded and realistic this way.
Also, this gives Shinsou an actual reason to be pissy about not getting into the hero course; the reason he got so few points in the practical was because as soon as the other people in his group found out about his quirk they refused to work with him, tanking his chances of almost any villain points (the mini villains are also robots). It also actually shows discrimination against people with 'villainous quirks' in hero society, something Horikoshi bought up but conveniently forgot about.
Kaminari doesn't have Whey Mode, it's a huge weakness and it's insane no one ever takes it seriously because of how big a safety risk it is for him. He can give himself nerve damage or kill himself if he uses his power too intensely, yes, but that's it.
Iida Tensi actually dies after being attacked by Stain.
Inko Midoriya is told about One for All and All Might's identity. She deserves to be in the know and it gives both All Might and Izuku another person for their support systems; she's the main character's only parent and yet she's so uninvolved in everything. It's disappointing. She would get more of a chance to voice her worries to both Izuku and Yagi, and she and Yagi could actually develop a friendship, which in all honestly Yagi really needs.
Momo is Class President and Tenya is Vice President.
Also like... Momo actually gets a chance to show off how powerful and strategic she is before we see her weaknesses hurt her. She's one of the most potentially powerful character in the fucking show die to her ability to literally create anything and yet we barely see what she's capable of before she is functionally rendered useless due to the author's inability to write female characters. I do like her arc about how her insecurities can get the best of her in the worst times and overcoming it but I want to expand on that. I want several scenes of her being academically and physically fantastic, top of her class, winning spars and overall seeming like the perfect up and coming hero, and THEN in the Sports festival, where she's one of the last few players, that's when we see her freeze up for the first time when one of her plans goes completely out of wack. And then, later (bc I'm putting the first villain arc as the Stain arc so USJ happens after that) when they're attacked for the first time, totally unprepared, she freezes up again and is saved by Jirou. This establishes her weakness - when she's in a situation she hasn't planned for or can't control she freezes up and that gets the best of her. Her arc is then learning how to better improvise in the heat of things (possibly becoming closer friends with Midoriya due to his ability to do exactly this) which she gets to show off during the Final Exams.
Also GIVE NEJIRE MORE PLOT TIME. Her, Mirio and Amajiki are meant to be a TRIO. I want her to get just as many fight scenes and emotional scenes as the other two, and let her be an inspiration to some of her younger classmates as well who also may have less conventionally strong Quirks, like Uraraka or Hagakure!!
Speaking of which: let Ochako be overpowered god damn it. Gravity manipulation is ALWAYS op (just look at Chuuya from BSD) and yet Ochako's never allowed to be just as powerful as she really should be. She has the potential to be one of the strongest characters in the series - she could basically neutralize as many hits or weapons as she could touch, could crush people into the ground with gravity, make herself or other people faster by making their feet lighter, or any other number of things but we never get to SEE IT!!
Also Ochako's foil is now Twice and Hawks kills Toga instead. I love both of them but Twice is unquestionably the more interesting character between the two from a narrative stand point and makes a very good foil to Ochako.
Hawks should have been used as a scapegoat for the Commission. From the beginning we've seen how he was basically brainwashed and conditioned to see everything they did as right; yet even when given chances to go against them that people in situations like his did take he continued looking up to them and supporting their actions. Like maybe after Dabi released the video of him killing Twice; the Commission uses him as a way to be like "hey, see!! We're the good guys!! He's the bad one so he's gone now!" Hawks killed for them and believed in them till his end and his reward would be either dead or as good as, a scapegoat for a mission they gave him. A tragedy of his own making, because he had chances to step away from them but chose not to. It would also be used to show how while the Meta Liberation Front aren't the good guys... well, neither are the HPSC. Like, at all.
Nana Shimura was a vigilante not a legal hero
And I've reached post character limit. Damn

Was thinking about a few reviews I got on my fic "Let it go" and while yes the adults failed Izu once again...the people of his age is any better.
It makes me want a scenario where when Ochako confess her feelings...I so want Izu to say no.
I know this wont happen at all.
But the more I think about ...the more I realize that if Ochako tells "I like you" Izu will cry and Ochako, at best, will think is a silly thing he does sometimes.
Aka she has no idea Izu thinks so low of himself.
But she was ok in being Toga's blood bank.
Hori vai tomar no cu!
Hi @mikeellee 👋,
Here's why IzuOcha is no longer a ship of mine, despite the fact that I liked it when the series first began.
It is so so poorly built up and the development of it has stagnated to the point where I no longer root for IzuOcha to be a couple.
The only hints of it in canon is Ocha blushing around Izu and others like Aoyama and Mina aggressively shipping them. Add on to the fact that this sudden crush comes from nowhere. Ocha suddenly likes Izu now, despite calling him plain at the start of the series and his looks not changing... Ok Hori, this needs development! Why does she suddenly like him now? Does Izu even like her back? Tell and show us please, Hori!
But we hardly see Izu and Ocha around each other anymore, they rarely confide in each other or spend time together. In fact, Ocha actively surpresses her crush for Izu "I must push these feelings down" yet freely offers to be a blood bank for Psychopathic Toga without any shame. When actually the latter, simping for an unrepentant villain, should garner more shame.
Toga is unrepentant in her murderous ways and is now being rewarded for it in the narrative by getting one of her crushes as a blood bank.
Yet Izu cannot be allowed to have his love interest even confess to him or support him.
Izu is one of the nicest characters in MHA. He should have people lining up to be with him, not have his canon love interest Ocha push her feelings of him down as if they are something to be ashamed of!

Mha 378. I love gentle criminal though I geuss he can be considered somewhat of hero now I geuss we can give him a hero name how about how about the gentleman
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I know there's people who want the lov to get a redemption like gentle criminal is getting now but you need understand the difference between the lov and gentle criminal
There are similarities sad backstory leading someone into becoming a villain here's the difference we have gentle criminal who turned himself in and is held accountable for his crimes and he mentions his mistakes in this chapter and holds himself accountable and is that moment making up for all his mistakes and we had him flashback to the gorilla cop saying he could start over
He the main reason the all those prisoners from the 7 th prison are locked up
For the certain lov members to be redeemed like gentle say for example toga she would actually have to acknowledge her own crimes and how her killing those boys affected there families twice died and she's still can't comprehend that her actions could have affected other people the way twice death affected her
The reality is if the league survives there going jail I'm not saying the lov can't be redeemed I'm saying for that to happen they have to hold themselves accountable for there crimes and they have be held accountable as well
The only one in the lov that won't go to jail is kurogiri because again his nomu and has no choice but to follow orders and his programming there probably gives to continue to try and find way to undo what ujiko did to him
I'm certain that kurogiri will be helping the heores soon if aizawa and mic can get through shirakumo again
And also lady nagant is back and it's seems she's also realized her mistakes and is back to working with the heroes

So, I’ve been seeing people say that Bakagou is worse than the League of Villains.
Really. A kid that was a bully is worse than an organization of kidnappers, murderers, and TERRORISTS?
Guy. Guy, please. Don’t do this. Don’t stir my moral pot and make me defend Bakagou—sigh.
Bakugou Critical and Bakugou defenses below. Both parties have been warned.
Severe anti-League of Villains below.
Okay, look; I will be the first to admit that Bakagou pulled shit in the past,t and the writing lets him get off with a lot. (Those will get their own posts.) However, all the damage he’s done can be repented for. And in his own way, he is trying to grow. However, he’s taking the long way (the VERY long way) because Bakagou very rarely, if ever called out on his shit. Name one time Bakagou was called out for his actions before UA. And even at UA when does he get more than a slap on the wrist? Not to mention the VERY few times people call him out they always cover it up by saying, that’s just Bakagou, or admiring his determination. It’s like a dog pissing on the couch, and you raise your voice for a minute, then give them a treat a second later. If you don’t teach them, they’re just gonna keep pissing all over the place.
“Well, he should just naturally know this” not really. While there’s no canonical evidence that Bakagou was abused, it is shown they have a very volatile way of expressing their feelings. So it’s only natural that Bakagou may have a bit of confusion about how to deal with others and how to express himself.
Because of all of these factors, Bakagou has to learn what he’s doing wrong on his own.
While I feel Bakagou has a long way to go, he does show remorse and, in his Bakagou way, is making a minimum effort. He is SLOWLY understanding what he is doing wrong. More than that, while the damage to Izuku can’t be fixed it can be healed over time. The damage the villains did can’t. Do you know why? You can’t fix dead people.
Now, the League of assholes I’ll admit are more sympathetic than Bakagou, but they do NOT hold the moral high ground.
Whatever sad story they have they caused damage that can’t be forgiven. Why? Because the dead can’t forgive. Tago killed 13 teenage boys (unless Hori changed that as well). Dabi killed 30 people—delinquents or not, he still hunted them down with the intent to kill just to get at Endeavor. And then there’s everyone who died during the hospital raid.
Death is still a big thing in this world, everyone knows that and understands the pain it brings, which is why even heroes only kill as a LAST resort.
Nearly everyone in the league KNEW what they were doing was wrong, they just used the pain of their own past to justify it. Tago knew killing people was bad, but didn’t want to suppress the part of her that craved blood. Dabe knew the same thing, but he only cared about making his father pay. Even Twice knew that committing his crimes of vandalism, theft, and assault was wrong, but did it anyway because he was angry that he was fired and tossed out on the streets.
(That being said Twice was one of the villains that could have been redeemed, which is what makes his death tragic. Tago—as much as I loathe her, I’m willing to give a SMALL pass to her as she basically never got help for the BNHA equivalent of her mental illness.)
Now, Shiggy is the ONLY member with a get-out-of-jail-free card as he has the excuse of being brainwashed his whole life. (And Kurogiri, I guess as he’s a reprogrammed animated corpse, but I digress.) But the others? They knew the consequences of their actions and did it anyway. Everyone who died or were hurt in the hospital raid? The destruction of Japan? All the pain afterward? That’s all on them.
Again, Bakagou did bad, and his writing frustrates me. I’m upset that he never had to face the consequences of his bullying, and no. The sludge villain incident and his latest wound from the villains don’t count. Neither was karma. It was the wrong place, wrong time for the first, and the second one is just a severe injury from a brainwashed villain. Now, if the villain was, oh say, the kid from the first chapter that Bakagou was beating on before Izuku intervened, then that would be karma. As is, it’s just a consequence of Bakagou being reckless. (Which he should have learned his lesson about, but I digress.) But I digress.
Bakagou is annoying (to some), but he—and the majority of the heroes—still have the moral high ground over the villains. 
And if we’re going to but the two on a scale, I’ll side with Bakagou over the terrorists who don’t care about the people they hurt.

Proshitter Bnha fans be like 'Dabi would flirt with Izuku/Bakugou/Momo if they were villains!!!' as if Dabi 'Eldest brother who's a disabled punk that brutalized and publicly humiliated a cop for killing his best friend over having DID' Todoroki wouldn't see a severely traumatized kid with a hodgepodge of neurodivergent disorders join his team and immediately adopt them as his younger sibling(which btw he already did with Toga in canon but as far as they're concerned she dosen't exist)
