Star Signs as Low Quality MHA Screenshots-Part 2 Aquarius i love him so much mha bnha my hero academia boku no hero academia kirishima eijirou ashido mina bakugou katsuki midoriya izuku monoma neito the ships are more subtextual but I'll tag em anyways kiribaku kirimina ellie speaks Kirishima Eijirou is a wonderful character who has grown so much and is the best friend anyone in class 1A could ask for. Someone who doesn’t instinctively take Midoriya’s side. Of course he doesn’t know about their entire relationship, but he understands a little and he’s persistent with trying to get Bakugou to open up. He’s super thankful for Ashido being there and that’s why when he realises Bakugou doesn’t like Midoriya because he doesn’t like help, he goes “well now I have to befriend you, because I know how much having someone on your side no matter what means” He had Ashido for a bit of moral support (we were CHEATED out of them being canon gym buddies) but all of his other friends doubted him. Like I said, Kirishima did all his training alone. So when he works out Midoriya was the other kid, he kind of sympathises with how Bakugou - who needs to be the best - needed help. That’s clear to everyone, but Kirishima’s a good people person (see where he starts crying with Asui and him defending Bakugou from his middle school classmates in one of the light novels) and I can see him being great with emotions - being in tune with your feelings is hella manly. Kirishima gets to know Bakugou’s personality throughout the USJ attack and the sports festival etc and how he needs to be the best. It’s just a theory, but what if when he learns that it was Bakugou who was attacked by the sludge villain, he understands Bakugou’s relationship with Midoriya more. If they could do it, why couldn’t he? Why couldn’t he go? They’re the same age, aren’t they? Those two kids were an important part of his development. He probably would have worked out that Midoriya was the other kid from middle school. He struggles a little with some of the academic side, namely laws (shock horror, he isn’t an angel) and sometimes makes brash and ill thought out decisions, but he isn’t stupid. (It’s never technically addressed, but as you can see in his flashbacks, no name was mentioned, and as Kirishima was on Bakugou’s team, it’s safe to assume he heard Monoma) He did everything on his own - all his training! And worked so hard! I’m just, so proud.Īlso, Kirishima didn’t actually know who those two students from the sludge villain attack were until Monoma blurted it out during the calvary battle. He’s always wanted to help people in danger, he just has an inferiority complex because of his quirk. He worked so hard during that last year of middle school (and ever since duh) I feel like we as a fandom don’t talk about this enough.
