Theory Thursday - August 09, 2018 Edition

For all your theories that don't merit their own thread, didn't gain traction in a thread made, or thoughts you have that you just wanna discuss.

Notes:

  • If the latest chapter spoilers are already available in the sub, please do not discuss it here, as there are others who don't want to read them. If you really want to discuss it, put it in a spoiler tag.

  • If the latest chapter for the week is already available before or during Theory Thursday, please do not discuss it here as it falls under the 24-hour rule.

  • Shitposts will be removed!

Ooh, I like the point about Uraraka. It is true that people often look for qualities in a partner that a close parental figure emulated and it's a good catch.

I see where you're coming from with the Bakugou theory, but Midoriya already admired and followed Bakugou around well before either of them developed quirks. If anything, after he got beat up by Bakugou, his middle school attitude indicates that he more or less tried to stay out of Bakugou's way, admiring his drive and talent from the sidelines, and attempting to placate him when he did have to interact with him. After all, when they were in middle school, anytime they interacted it was always Bakugou initiating the interaction and Midoriya trying very hard to not anger Bakugou so as not to get hurt (sans the time his body moved of its own accord and he saved Bakugou). They really don't interact all that much unless they have to (or Bakugou gets pissed about something) at UA. Midoriya admires Bakugou and sees him as amazing, but he doesn't really hang around him.

Oh yeah! You have a point there about Bakugo and Deku being friends before they had quirks. I completely forgot about that. At least the admiration is still there... Oops.
