In the translation it seem bkg created a move to be on par with Deku not to surpass him but to help defeat AFO with him it circle back to 322 that why he wanted to train with him
That’s not quite how I’m reading it.
He’s just remembering this moment:
Tumblr media
Yes, Bakugou was training to be able to go up against Shigaraki with Deku. But now that Deku is not here, he’s not going to wait around for a “hero with the right power to come” like the pros did when he was held by the Sludge Villain.
Rather, he’s “assembling a team“ to try to win without Deku.
I take his lines about facing the power gap and conquering his fear not as giving up on any of his goals, but just accepting the reality and not letting it crush him.
Wanting to be the best is really not a bad objective in itself. The heroes who stood back and cheered on All Might in complacency are not praised by the narrative.
But I don’t see Bakugou ever doing that. He’s focused and driven and the type who will smile when he sees an unscalable wall.
Tumblr media
It’s the fundamentals of his character and always been a positive thing.

y’all.. we have 1 more episode left of bnha right after this if i’m not mistaken ;; since last episode (episode 23) adapted ch. 320 - 322 and assuming that it adapts the same way for the next episode (ch. 323 - 325), then most likely it’ll end right up around here 
Tumblr media
then the very last episode could adapt these chapters: ch. 326 - 328 and end up to here where they’re introducing star and stripe (this is actually a good place to end if they do!) 
Tumblr media
i also just want to take a moment that in the last episode, we’ll be getting these boys take a bath with deku  _(:3」∠) and i honestly can’t wait 
Tumblr media
plus katsuki trying to be a better/changed person ;;;

AU where, the day of the entrance exam, All Might loses the hair to a strong gust of wind right after explaining the condition to transfer One for All so Izuku hesites 0.02 seconds before biting All Might’s arm like a vampire.

I feel so sorry for the Twitter users who have just emigrated to Tumblr because when I saw the first Goncharov posts, I was confused for a few seconds before I checked the tag and nodded when I saw #unreality. I was “Ah yes, people are inventing stuff.” because all of Tumblr going insane on one specific thing is something I’m used to.
But I don’t think people who aren’t used to this strange environment are in any way prepared for that kind of craziness and oh boy, what a way to be introduced to Tumblr.

I already don’t like All Might bashing but nothing annoys me more than the specific brand of All Might bashing where All Might furiously discriminates against quirkless people.
When All Might tells Izuku that he doesn’t think someone without a quirk can be a hero? Most of his answer is about himself. He is the quirkless kid who became a hero and he is now horribly alone, depressed, has PTSD, too many organs lost in action and a husk of his former self while the pressure of being the number 1 hero is grinding down on him as he is losing more and more time to use his quirk every day while being extremely aware that criminality staying as low as it is fully depends on him being the number 1 hero.
When Izuku asked him if he could be a hero, All Might probably had a magnificent flashback to his whole life and couldn’t, in good conscience, tell someone so similar to him to follow the same path because of all the hardship he went through.
Izuku being the only one to help during the second Sludge villain attack didn’t make him realize that “Even someone without a quirk has the potential to be a hero!” but it made him remember what heroism really is about.

Loid is such a funny character, the first time you are introduced to him he seems like a cool, suave, charismatic but also ruthless man who focuses only on his mission and the embodiment of every spy character troupe there is and he is! But also few chapters in and he's like "My daughter/wife doesn't like me 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i am a failure of a spy 😩😩😭😭😭😭" at like every minor inconvenience
Loid, who bought an entire library of parenting books right after getting Anya and who makes sure to arrange dates with Yor despite being overworked and who gets actually angry when people say bad things about her: "I am just doing this for the mission."

Oh my god this fucking gremlin- Alright, yeah, Becky is just like that. She thinks she is above people, not because she`s rich or powerful, but just because she refuses to be part of her age group. She wants to be mature, responsible, but she`s just a kid, she doesn`t know how much she`s missing out.
Tumblr media
Martha cares a lot about her, and she really tried to make her understand that she doesn`t know everything, hell even adults don`t know everything, and that is important in maturing, understanding that there is always room to grow and improve yourself. Growing up is a journey without a finish line.

So is the little villain au DFO? If so, it's hilarious to imagine AFO's reaction when he tracks down this new upstart villain who's been making a nightmare for the HPSC (good) but hasn't paid proper homage to him (bad), only to find out its his adorable five year old, founding a new criminal empire already! They grow up so fast! Now he can have all sorts of new daddy son experiences!
Yeah this is basically what happened, at first All for One thought someone was using Izuku because his son was five, but nope, Izuku did it all on his own. You can imagine the whiplash All for One got from finding this out, for a man that has seen everything that was a first. Although how I imagined them meeting changed this was originally the prompt for it:
All for One had been struggling through a unnecessarily hard process of meeting the boss of a growing villainess organisation, that seems to know how everything goes before it happens. But no matter how much All for One tried, the members refuse to let him have any contact with their leader. It isn't until after he forces his way into one of the organisations strong holds and finally come face to face with their mysterious leader did he realise why they been so relucted.
"What's wrong?" A four year old with green curly hair, and freckles yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Having just woken up from his afternoon nap, something he couldn't escape from these days.
All for One stared down at his four old son, sleepily tumble off his bed, blanket still in hand. "Oh" All for One whispered, not quite sure if he should be proud or angry, so he chose surprised instead.

I know it's not official so grain of salt; but this is really sus that AFO knows that A) Bakugou grew up watching All might winning and wanting to be just like him (to win). B) The fact that he also knows that Bakugou was blinded by his ego, instead of what Tomura though of before was that Bakugou was oppressed in hero society. And C) AFO knows that Bakugou feared being in Izuku shadow no matter how hard he tried to be stronger then Izuku.
it's disturbing that AFO knows so much about Bakugou fears that have stemmed from his childhood, and considering that Bakugou was friends with the doctors grandson, I have a feeling AFO been keeping an eye on Bakugou for a lot longer then realises.

Please tell us more about tiny villain, time-traveller, Izuku. It’s a delightful au
Sure!
Some more funny facts over this:
-Despite being a five year old boy who looks like a cinnamon roll that could kill you, Nagant find Izuku miles better then her old employees and becomes the wine aunt group.
-She convinces Hawks to join them via hot gossip, chicken wings and the joint power of flipping off the commission together.
-All for One follows around Izuku when the boy is doing his jobs, so you have little pre-school Izuku running around trying to set up an organisation with All for One chilling in the background, occasionally helping Izuku reach tall places.
-This backfires one day when they run into All Might at the shops.
-Izuku stops Toya from exploding into flames by spraying water on him every time he burst into flames.
-Toya follows Izuku soon after, he say it's because of the fire resistance quirk he got, but Toya also set Izuku up to play with Shoto every now and again, so yeah.
-When AFO finds out Izuku ate the replica of his quirk to get it, he never lets the child live it down.
-Izuku also takes quirks from AFO, but never anyone else, he get's them ethically, like a good kid, AFO the exception.
-Izuku meets Tomura and humbles him real fast, but then Tomura also basically adopts Izuku as his little brother
-Inko is has an interesting backstory in this AU.
-Izuku doesn't know All for One is his dad, everyone else guess it five minutes into seeing them together.
-Doctor Ujiro and Izuku hate each others guts, but unfortunately the Doc is the only one who can treat the All for One quirk and Izuku injuries.
-Izuku lowkey ditches bakugou because there are more pressing matters and bakugou actually misses Izuku.
-Izuku really underestimates learning to control All for One the quirk.

Izuku travels back in time fix it AU...with a twist.
11 pm idea that hit me one night (might have been done before but hey, here's my turn at the idea) Izuku is transported back into his Five year old self, and has the chance to do everything all over again; and makes things right this time...
But there are several problems getting in the way of saving everyone, namely that he's a quirkless five year old, that has none of his friends, allies or strength he had in his teens. All of them don't know he exist, plus half of them are toddlers. There's also a lot of stuff that won't happen until much later, not to mention he isn't sure how a lot of stuff came to be. He has no idea how Dabi survived were toga grew up, and Tomura has already killed his family four years prior and is living somewhere with All for One.
He knows won't get OFA until he's fifteen, and he's not even sure he might this time around. Because changing history means that All Might won't get injured and never have a reason to pass it on. Getting it when he's four would be impossible since he's young, and because people might not believe him when he say's he from the future, and can he blame them?
So after thinking over all the options, Izuku decides that if he can't be a hero, then he's going to be a villain...or at least pretend to be one so that he can stop the villains before they become huge threats. Basically Izuku decides to fight fire with fire, which he cranks up to 100 because he know a way to get a strong power that could go toe to toe with All for One and the person to go to get it from.
So Izuku sneaks into All for One doctors office and get's a hold of the replica of All for One quirk, with added hijinks. Now Izuku my have the replica nicely stored away in a glass tube, but he doesn't know how to acquire it... so he just decides to eat it because it worked the first time.
It's not meant to work like that, but for Izuku it does, after falling sick for like three days. Because eating a quirk wasn't the best idea. But who cares Izuku now got All for One, foresight on future events and his New villain career to kick off at the ripe old age of five.
And boy does he go off with a bang, by breaking Nagant out of Tartarus (Izuku needed a body guard, and Nagant was innocent), convincing hawks to run away from the HC (it was Nagant idea really) and recruiting the number two hero eldest son (Well Toya more recruited himself) among other things.
This unsurprisingly, this get's All for One's attention, but Izuku sure that he won't get caught because who would expect "quirkless five year old Deku" to the the next be up and coming villain? Apparently All for One, because the guy awkwardly walks in to his preschool one day, picks him up and is both quite shocked and amused to find this villain, that's been causing the Hero commission so much strife, is just a four year old boy.
Izuku thinks this might be the end, but instead of snipping of this bud before it grow, All for One decides he'll let Izuku keep doing what he's doing, because the whole things amusing. Except Izuku still "only a baby, not quite a big bad villain yet" so All for One will be "probably supervising" Izuku growth into villainy.
Izuku doesn't know weather to yell in joy at getting a one up on All for One or scream in anguish that now he's got the worst villain in the world making him his personal pet project.
Izuku decides to burn that bridge when he get's there.
I have more of this AU if anyone wants to know about it, but just baby toddler villain Izuku getting followed around by his older villain father, during his first errands. All dress up in his preschool uniform carry several books on "how to commit crimes and get away with it" well telling AFO to buzz off.

You ever like. Listen to songs and make them all about your current interest?
But there's always a couple songs that are cool, but dont quite vibe/fit with your current interest
And then later, after acquiring a New Interest, listening to your music and hearing a one of those songs and going "Oh. OH. OOOOOOOHHH THIS FITS THIS PERFECTLY HOLY CRAP THIS SONG WAS JUST WAITING FOR THIS INTEREST!!!!"

Traitor Confirmed (chapter 328)
Rando 1: Stain out here doing god’s work

Rando 2: Shigaraki will be complete in   T H R E E   D A Y S
Me: [narrowly squeezes through the crowd]

Me: [pushes them aside]

Me: Ahem.
Tumblr media
How the hell are y’all sleeping on this????
I’ll go ahead and plug @hanashimas​ for the superior translation of this chapter I’ve seen thus far. (The fan translations I’ve seen have been...really inaccurate, both this week and last.)
(“But Pika, why didn’t you translate anything? Could it be you’re avoiding talking about-?” Yes. Yes I am. I’m going to ignore everything else in this chapter until Horikoshi has the chance to explain himself lol.)
Anyways, every page in this chapter is FLUFF in comparison to the bombshell that was this page and we should all be scanning it for clues like Nick Cage with the Declaration of Independence:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is so huge HOW ARE WE NOT ALL TALKING ABOUT THIS???
This basically confirms that AFO has the same relationship with the vestige in his quirk that All Might does with his own. HORIKOSHI IS SPECIFICALLY BRINGING UP THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PERSON AND THEIR VESTIGE AND THROWING JAZZ HANDS UP AROUND AFO.
So yeah.
We know who the traitor is now
Premise 1
AFO leaves vestiges of himself in the quirks of those he passes to other people.
Evidence: His identical ego (vestige) taking over Shigaraki’s body, his remote knowledge of the assassins he sends after Izuku, particularly Lady Nagant’s defection
Premise 2
AFO communicates indistinctly with his vestiges via vague emotions.
Evidence: Chapter 328 (as referenced above), that conversation he had with the guard in Tartarus in chapter 94, the repeated references to AFO’s emotions as an important plot point, AFO’s plan to use Shigaraki’s emotion of hatred to overpower One For All and steal it, AFO's commentary on heart/emotions as he remotely blows up Lady Nagant
Premise 3
AFO left a vestige of himself in the Power Stockpiling quirk that became One For All.
Evidence: AFO “hearing his little brother’s voice” all the way from Tartarus, whatever the fuck is happening here, Machia picking up two separate objects with his master’s scent as Shigaraki and berserk!Izuku face each other in chapter 286
Premise 4
All intel leaked to AFO and the League of Villains was available to Izuku.
Evidence: The intel leaked was the location of the USJ, that Thirteen and All Might would be with the class, and the location of the summer camp. Izuku knew all of it by the time the intel was acted upon by the villains.
Oh, and this:
Tumblr media
Premise 5
The leaked information was not specific to knowledge but discernible via emotional reaction.
Evidence: Re: chapter 328 All For One could only know specific information if it was communicated TO him via Radio Waves (he couldn’t be the one using Radio Waves).
Regarding the leaked intel:
Izuku was emotionally excited to learn Thirteen would be teaching the class at the USJ
Izuku only learned All Might would not be joining the class right as the League of Villains showed up
The League didn’t know Eraserhead would be there; Izuku had no emotional reaction to Eraserhead that day, having already met him as the homeroom teacher days before
The League didn’t know the kids’ quirks because that isn’t information knowable via an emotional reaction
Izuku’s location was off-campus, so his coordinates may be knowable when he has an emotional reaction
Izuku’s location at the summer camp would thus also be knowable the moment he gets excited about meeting the Wild Wild Pussycats, and only AFTER that do we see the Vanguard Action Squad congregating nearby (before that they’re waiting in a warehouse)
AFO didn’t know Izuku and the others were sneaking around in Kamino, but Izuku had already HAD his emotional reactions for the day by the time they went to Kamino (and AFO would have been distracted by Shigaraki, Katsuki, and All Might through most of it anyway)
AFO could come to conclusions about what’s happening in post-Kamino society from Izuku’s emotions without knowing the true specifics, hence his conversation with All Might in Tartarus above
AFO “hears his little brother’s voice” as Izuku has an emotional reaction to Monoma’s taunting during training (and THEN Blackwhip manifests, so Katsuki may be right that AFO had something to do with it)
Conclusion
Izuku is the (unwitting and non-malicious) traitor
Tumblr media
He’s bugged, your honor.

Well…?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Todoroki might have been behind Izuku but he didn't matter. The exhausted teenager knew when his friend saw Star and Stripes, knew what he immediately thought and knew the exact moment when he opened his mouth to throw a theory that would make Izuku once again screech like a pterodactyl.
"No," Izuku hissed as low as he could saw the number 1 hero of America wouldn't hear it.
Fortunately, Star and Stripes was too busy giving a bear hug to All Might to hear them. It was quite impressive. The Symbol of Peace's feet weren't touching the ground anymore.
"No what?" Todoroko whispered but even Bakugou, who looked like he was about to have a heart attack, knew his innocence was feigned.
"No, she isn't All Might's secret sister, just like I'm not All Might's secret lovechild. Please, don't embarrass me in front in front of a foreign hero," Izuku begged.
"One would argue that you protest too much, Midoriya."
Star and Stripes was done hugging All Might and walked toward them, prompting the UA students to stop whispering and Todoroki to put the lids on his theories for, hopefully, the next fifteen minutes.
Izuku expected the hero from America to introduce herself or even to just wave at them from afar but instead, she made a beeline to them, walking with determination and what he would later recognize as barely restrained glee.
He realized too late that she was walking towards him.
"NEPHEW!" she roared in English as she was trapping him in a bear hug that should have made him worry about his ribs.
Alas, he was far more worried about the vindication he could feel oozing from Todoroki's every pore.
