Oh? Please, Madam

What Izuku rejects is the opportunity to be Katsuki's SIDEKICK. He doesn't reject being a hero or competing with Katsuki. He rejects working FOR/UNDER Katsuki. Which is hilarious because Katsuki accepts (apparently multiple times) showing up as a guest lecturer to help out Izuku's class. Katsuki tells Izuku that "If everyone is special, no one is special," which has the potential for SO MUCH DOUBLE MEANING. But what there is no ambiguity about to me is he's basically telling Izuku "Hey, notice this. I'm treating you special. You're special to me. NOTICE."

It's also implied that Izuku sees Katsuki more regularly than he sees most others from their class, which is emphasized by the previous chapter when Aizawa complains to him about Katsuki's behavior in public affecting his ranking. Katsuki basically tells Izuku he needs to start thinking about himself more, and he also ends their final interaction with a "See ya [later]." Katsuki is NOT talking about Ochako, but Izuku takes some of his advice as the impetus for going to talk to Ochako (specifically they just wanna talk more after the dinner since the dinner is now over and they didn't get to talk). So what was Katsuki thinking of? I personally read his "See ya later" as "You'll figure it out, just go handle what you gotta right now and you can catch up to me later."

Hilariously, Izuku calls Katsuki out for being the one to say "If you don't start thinking a little more highly of yourself, you won't notice the things you should." Izuku's response is basically, "Look who's talking." Again, the potential for double meaning here is painfully obvious. He could be referring to SO MANY THINGS and we're meant to infer what that is. WE GET TO GUESS. Izuku could be saying "You did stuff just as bad as what you're saying," or "You're STILL not noticing something, Kacchan."

And Izuku taking inspiration from Katsuki's words to go talk to Ochako is meaningful in another way--IT MEANS IZUKU LISTENED TO HIM. Katsuki is having an influence on Izuku in a way to improve who he is just like Izuku did for him in high school. Izuku takes Katsuki's advice seriously. NO ONE HAS EVER GOTTEN HIM TO UNDERSTAND THIS LESSON BEFORE NOW. It ends with Izuku and Ochako deciding to talk more, but what it shows us is the beginning of Izuku considering himself more. If Izuku follows Katsuki's advice long enough, he'll end up back in the competition with Katsuki just like Katsuki expects him to. That is just as easy of a conclusion to make from the theme of "inevitability" that Shouto gives us (and that Izuku also takes to heart).

This ending implies that inevitably Izuku's gonna catch up again, basically. Things will continue to change. So yeah, we get a beginning where he and Ochako meet up to talk, but it's just a beginning. It's one night of chatting. They're seeing if something's there now (which kind of implies that there wasn't much there before), but it's left open-ended. And I think it's left open-ended what happens with Ochako on purpose because anyone can read how that ends up however they like. You just have to decide as a reader what's "inevitable" for Izuku Midoriya from this point on. Me? I've decided Izuku is taking Katsuki's advice to treat people who mean more to him better. Ochako is just the beginning. Izuku has other people in his life he needs to show love to as well (because that's what this is, Izuku is learning to show people that they're important to him, that he loves them, because saving people doesn't do that--he saves EVERYONE). And then maybe he'll start to see how the people who love him treat him special too, like guest SPECIAL (same kanji) LECTURER KATSUKI BAKUGOU.

tl;dr there is a lot left open to interpretation and it's probably on purpose, read the chapter however you like, just like we did with the last chapter.

...and my interpretation which is the correct one is that Katsuki tells Izuku, "Here let me show you how to love people, damnit!" to give him the character development everyone has been begging for him to have for years, to realize that saving people doesn't mean they're special to him if he's known for saving everyone ever, so like, maybe go show them you care in OTHER ways, Izuku, and also I'll be waiting right here for you to come show you love me you jackass (and he does, he does come show him that)

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S (2023) — dir. Emma Tammi

I'm a simple girl. I don't want a lot, I just want is a guy like Peeta Mellark.

Rewatching gravity falls rn and this is one of my favorite jokes in the entire show

# cw: <mha spoilers> post-final mha! izuku x gn!pro hero reader, izuku's 24/25 in the og time skip!! fluff!! kisses on the neck and shoulder

# wc: 611 words

after izuku had to give up one for everyone he realized that he could continue to talk, analyze and teach about quirks, of course it wasn't the same thing as being a hero, but he would still be in touch with this world he loves so much.

you followed this closely, studied with him and class 1-a, graduated with them and being one of his best friends, watched how he studied to be a teacher, you knew he was going to be an incredible teacher.

you also saw how the loss of one for all hit izuku, after all, it was his dream to become a pro hero along with his friends. the years without having much contact with his classmates were very hard, he understood that everyone was busy, including you.

but 4 years after high school, the situation changed.

you were closer than ever, even with your busy schedule. you went to his house to keep him company while he studied, went out with him to buy other all might collectibles, several trips to convenience stores to eat ramen after a day full of offenders and different quirks, you went to the movies on your day off... it was already to be expected that both you and him would develop at least one little crush, not to mention the previous years in ua, the two of you were attached.

as the months went by, their outings turned into romantic dates, which after a while turned into a dating proposal.

on izuku's first day as a teacher at ua, he was so, so nervous, his feeling of accomplishment, for being a teacher at the school where he studied, where his old teacher works, at one of the best hero schools in the country and the world, it was rewarding. your pride in seeing him happy with how eager and excited he was to start was almost overwhelming for you. even more so after he commented that several students recognized him from the big final fight with shigaraki, he became an inspiration for the younger ones just as all might was his inspiration.

when all might came up with the idea of raising money for tech equipment for izuku, you were one of the first to agree. everyone from 1-a helped with the fundraising, especially you and katsuki. it took years to save money and deposit it to make the armor.

on a particular day, after izuku had met dai on the street, you and all might went after him to talk, more toshinori than you, since he was his mentor. katsuki was inside a helicopter a few meters away from you. you had the suitcase where the armor was stored, made of high technology, the perfect design for your boyfriend.

"technology evolves just like quirks, take this to heart, kid. you've earned this power too, fair and square". his expression of shock, excitement and how he was moved by the gesture of the people he considers and loves was like a reward for all these years. seeing the person you love so much fulfilling their biggest dream is so touching, it's one of the most pleasant sensations to feel, being part of it is even more pleasant.

he thanked, first to toshinori, then to you, with a tight hug, his face hidden in your neck, small kisses being distributed between your neck, shoulder, jaw, cheek, until he reached your mouth. a calm, sweet and affectionate kiss.

"come on, deku!", katsuki, who was watching from afar, calls izuku to enter and leave for the destination where izuku, you and class 1-a would reunite once again to fight evil.

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Thanks to your incredible kindness, we’ve reached 19,800 out of 30,000. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now: 🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us. 😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment. 💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 might not seem like much, but it could mean a meal, clean water, or a tiny bit of hope for my family.

I was literally fighting to stay awake when I drew everything but the first and last panels sorry if they look weird BUT I wanted to draw Izuku waking up. My urge to draw and write has been so reinvigorated by the latest chapter lmao
