I love this
Of all the things I see constantly mentioned about SaneGiyuu, or just in an analysis of Sanemi and Giyuu's relationship, I very rarely see people mention the Masachika/Sabito parallel. And even if it's mentioned, this moment in particular:
Like, yeah, Giyuu is very non-confrontational (best example of this being Giyuu full on knowing Shinobu was pale and yet saying nothing), but I also do like to interpret this as Giyuu understanding exactly what Sanemi felt in that meeting. Believing someone else could become a hashira and getting mad at the idea of them not making it, but instead, you do.
If Giyuu was ever someone to truly get angry and express it loudly, he'd be exactly like Sanemi in that meeting. He gets it more than anyone else. I think this "opposites" relationship they have is neat.
I've seen bakugo being compared to sanemi surprisingly a lot. The reason why it's so surprising is because they're not similar ? The only way I see a similarity is their constant anger.
But their anger stems from different reasons which sets their characters completely apart !!
This is NOT a bakugo vs sanemi u reading the wrong thing if ur looking for that lmao I suck at analysing character fighting styles and how they could compare ( like wth is hax 😭) I DIGRESS
AND ALSO SPOILERS FOR BOTH MHA AND DEMON SLAYER (?)
sanemi's anger mainly from what we see is a portrayed as a hatred for demons which stemmed from his traumatic past (where he ended up killing his own mother due to her turning into a demon and killing the rest of their family.)
Seems straight forward but it's literally why everytime we see him it's like he has 10 sticks up his ass.
His whole career is based around killing demons so when he sees ppl with the same job slacking and not able to fend for themselves, he most likely thinks that no one is taking it seriously- as if they haven't had bad experiences; that they aren't fortunate to have had survived and are still able to get up protect others. His anger is almost encouraging if you think of it from this perspective.
You can see it as him basically forcing them to get better so they're not a burden to themselves and others in the battlefield (just in a really aggressive, violent, and not necessarily *right* way).
I'm convinced that some of his anger is also stemmed from fear. Obviously as a hashira he has the responsibility of protecting the lower ranks whilst fighting but maybe the training arc really puts into perspective just how many lives are actually at stake which makes him realise *how much* humanity is depending on him as a hashira. I feel like the fear is deeply rooted from his past of not being able to protect those he loves, his family, masachika, etc. So if he can't even look after his close ones, how's he supposed to protect a bunch of random ppl ? Ygwim ?
BAKUGO on the other hand -- >
This guy's anger stemmed from an inferiority complex that was so severe that he put on a facade to make himself seem so much bigger than he actually felt.
I think midoriya could always see this, which was why he never held him at Gun Point for an apology for the literal torment he put him through.
We can also see a small glimpse of his constant self-criticism during the fight against midoriya after all might's fight with afo, when he blames himself for all might's downfall.
This is key because it shows that he doesn't just direct his anger at others but clearly at himself, too. Using this, you could probably make the judgement that when he lashes out at his friends, he probably regrets it straight after. *especially* after his character development, where he acknowledges that he always felt inferior to midoriya and decided to bully him to make himself feel bigger.
Old habits die so hard, so he probably struggled to be less aggressive towards everyone around him.
The difference between sanemi and bakugo is that:
Sanemi is confident in himself but not so confident in others and their strength which is why he pushes them *so* hard. His training is definitely the most brutal out of all the hashiras'
You can argue its gyomei but his training hasn't given slayers black eyes and swollen knuckles. Tanjiro is exhibit A if you want an example. I DIGRESS (again)
Whilst bakugo is not confident in himself, which to, what I believe, is the reason for his aggressive attitude towards others.
BASICALLY the way I see it is that sanemis aggression isn't necessarily presented to show him putting other characters down unlike bakugo who's entrance was literally as a bully who told midoriya to kill himself setting in stone that his anger resulted in others feeling inferior to him.
I really like both characters - sanemi more tbh so if u think I missed anything out pls point it out 🤞

Inspo from @yugiohz post bc it made me laugh and then I couldn't get it out of my head
Og:
i love seeing posts where its dabi and hawks but its switched in a way where
people think dabi is the stone cold silent type while hawks talks talks talks and loves people when IN REALITY
dabi his theater kid attention lacking ass goes public w his shit and is a dramatic mf while
hawks has been shoved in the spotlight too often too much and needs to be nonverbal sometimes and genuinely hates doing flashy things because its too much work
que dabi mumbling to hawks about the shit he went through when he was homeless like "this drunk girl just kept crying on me!" and hawks laying on dabi on tummy cooing to show hes listening <333
100% !! there's no way keigo isn't exhausted after faking his persona for hours on end, he is still human !! and touya is there to remind him of that 🙂↕️🙂↕️ it's the combo of constantly aiming for perfection and faking his reactions that make keigo sleep like a log when he's with touya, who literally expects nothing from him ( and who is touya to judge, when he finally notices that keigo isn't perfect )
late afternoon cuddles is so them idk how to explain it
touya's unreasonable jealousy is partially what makes them so entertaining to me lmaooo. i imagine some of their rare peaceful moments are cut short bc touya brings up some girl who stared at keigo for 2 seconds too long, 3 days earlier LOL. i feel like everytime touya provokes keigo in this way, it's also him testing keigo, as in, is it the girl or me ??? and keigo is just pissed bc why is he even asking that in the first place, is the answer not obvious-
oh gosh college au keigo gets a job as a tour guide and it’s his least favorite thing ever but he wants the spending money (his parents (adoptive) only fund certain activities and he wants to have more of a life than that (and buy touya things what who said that))
just picture it. keigo takami. gorgeous guy. walking around campus (even when it’s cold) having to tell all these people he doesn’t know and doesn’t like how awesome this university is (is this not just propaganda his “mother” is the university president)
and when he’s not working and encounters other tour groups he’s all but seething because they’re loud and take up space and he does not want to deal with it
