🍀✨ — this piece is based off of @/Nxhqt's art style on twt! the textures in their art is super neat even though my brush in procreate doesn't have quite as much grain. I think it still turned out nice w Sanemi c: hopefully I can do a Genya version soon.
I don't know what to think about it 🥲
Inspo from @yugiohz post bc it made me laugh and then I couldn't get it out of my head
Og:
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 🤞
What is I said after the first Agni Kai the healers tell Iroh Zuko's not gonna make it. What if Iroh drops everything and takes Zuko to the North Pole where he begs for help from the waterbenders because his boy, his son, is gonna die. What if Chief Arnook sees the same desperation he had when Yue was born dead in Iroh's eyes. What if after Zuko gets help from the Northern Water Tribe he stays because it's safer. What if Iroh had to go back to the Fire Nation and Zuko stayed back. What if Yue and Zuko became friends. What if Zuko from the Northern Water Tribe. What then, huh? What are you gonna do about it.
On July 28, 2024, my world was shattered when my mother and sister were tragically martyred during an attack on a tent for displaced people in the safe zones of Mawasi Khan Yunis
Imagine losing everything that is dear to you in one day. This is the harsh reality my family faces in Gaza
I reach out to you with a heart full of pain and a desperate plea for help
Our family of seven was devastated: my parents, my only sister, and my four brothers. Now, we are just five people, struggling to survive under horrific conditions.
