Theories of Quinn Wade

Hello, fellow weebs, anime watchers, and manga readers! For those of you who watch anime/read manga, whether it’s Naturo, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, or any other anime then this is the spot for you. Once every publication I will post a theory or two based on anime, citing facts and reasoning. This issue is theories on My Hero Academia. If you’d like me to talk about a certain anime, fill out the form after the theory.

Brace Yourself:

This theory is my opinion and my opinion alone.

Some of this might not make sense.

This is about My Hero Academia.

Talks about a kidnapping.

A lot of spoilers - haven’t caught up? It’s best if you leave.

This is your final warning, leave while you still can.

THEORY:

Why Kirishima was able to befriend Bakugo quicker than Midoryia: Explained.

Honestly, a lot of weebs argue about this. How was Kirishima able to befriend Bakugo quicker? Today, with research, I have your answer.

Kirishima, everyone’s favorite sunshine extroverted red-headed anime character, was able to befriend hotheaded closed-in introverted Bakugo because he wasn’t scared of him like Midoryia. If you look at middle school, both anime and manga (though I haven’t read past the third.) you can see Midoryia was scared of Bakugo (not to say there wasn’t a reason to be scared of the blond) and some of that fear still remains in Midoriya for our explosive blond. Bakugo was one of those characters that you’d had to dig deep for to find emotions, and here’s what I’ve learned:

Bakugo does not do wimps.

In fact, he hates them with a burning passion, which most know with the tiniest glance or overhearing just a bit about Bakugo. Either way, Bakugo doesn’t do wimps. He just can’t.

Another common reason is that Kirishima was able to befriend him for a lack of better words was simply because he was low-key straightforward to understand. He was easier to understand, his main vocabulary is “manly” and “unmanly”, two simple words that detect his mood.

Because Kirishima is easier to understand, he was more likely to become Bakugo’s friend from the beginning. However, there is another reason that Bakugo chose Kirishima to be his friend, or rather, the closest thing he has that fits the friend definition.

Kirishima’s hardening quirk can withstand Bakugo’s quirk - the ability to withstand a quirk, one as strong as Bakugo’s, is powerful enough to make Kirishima seem more likely because Bakugo knows one thing: He can’t hurt Kirishima, not like he could hurt Midoriya. With this in mind, Kirishima seems more likely to be friends with our favorite angry pomeranian.

For one thing, Kirishima is physically and mentally able to befriend Bakugo just by his personality. He’s stubborn like a rock and didn’t give up, even when Bakugo pushed him away (literally and metaphorically). He stayed with him, not cowering from him. Midoriya is more stubborn, yes, always trailing around Kachann! A name that Bakugo seemingly dislikes. Like we previously stated, Midoryia is a wimp, at least by Bakugo Katsuki standards, and at the time Kirishima was more stubborn, always trailing around Bakugo, always pestering him, like Midoryia, but different.

Kirishima didn’t annoy Bakugo like Midoryia did, calling him “Kachann” every five seconds. He wasn’t tiresome to him, mumbling under his breath where he couldn’t understand. Kirishima was actually a somewhat okay person for Bakugo, he didn’t annoy him like the other people in Class 1-A. He was a manly dude, and Bakugo saw that.

Also, Kirishima was the only one willing to save Bakugo after the kidnapping. Without help from pro-heroes, because it was pretty obvious how they weren’t going to save him. Not right away at least. Midoryia says it himself: “It can’t be anyone else Kirishima. If his friend says come I’m sure he’ll listen.” Or something along the lines of that. My point is, Midoyira listed a bunch of people, Iida, himself, Uraraka, etc. Even Midoriya knew that Bakugo and Kirishima were closer than he and Bakugo had ever been.

I’ve heard a lot of people say “Midoriya should be Bakugo’s friend” and that the “Bakusquad” (Fan dubbed group with Denki Kaminari, Eijirou Kirishima, Mina Ashido, Kyoako Jiro, and, the person it’s named after, Katsuki Bakugo.) isn’t an actual squad.

To this I say, put yourself in Bakugo’s shoes. There is obviously trauma that no one wants to call out. Even if you don’t watch My Hero Academia, just from this you can tell, there is obviously something wrong with Bakugo. Something dark within his past.

To put it short, Kirishima was just him, Kirishima. Therefore he was able to become Bakugo’s friend. At first, he was seen as an ally, someone not to be close to but someone to tolerate. After that, they became friends - or, in Bakugo’s case, the closest thing he’ll ever have to a friend.

For the next, Theories of Quinn Wade, we will be discussing a topic I think is very important for the article to make any sense:
