ok but when she hit him he was literally just sitting there listening being quiet

Spoiler: Later in the manga, todoroki expresses how the way he was raised, and how a specific type of aggressive parenting is bad and harmful. Bakugo defends this however by saying that’s how he grew up, or ‘that’s how I was raised you know!’ But todoroki continues and bakugo, knowing that todoroki’s childhood was horrible due to overhearing the todoroki/izuku conversation before the sports festival, decides to not comment further by finishing with ‘is that so...’

holy shit i said the exact same thing when mitsuki was first introduced and everyone attacked me. i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks she is abusive.

In season 4 Bakugo said something like “we hit them” or something like that and then when everyone said no he said “that’s how I was raised”

This is kinda long but i want to go more in deapth on the Psychology: Bakugou’s mom litteraly said that it was his fault he was captured and that he was weak, and literally right before the last episode, when Bakugou had a mental breakdown venting out everything to Deku, Bakugo exsplained that everything was his fault Allmight was like that, and that he was weak for getting captured. Based on exsperience, we tend to think what judgment put on us by our parents, to be true. And if its horrible stuff like that, especially after a tramatice event like that you are 100% going to believe it. Its the same thing as a mom telling their child, they where the reason why her husband died. If that parent keeps ingraining that into the child’s mind, they start to question their sanity; it will get even worse if that child is completely ignored by everyone else. This is exsactly what happened to Bakugo. His mom said it was his fault and that he was weak, therefore believed it. No one from class A bat an eye to acctully check if his mental health is okay, instead (if i remember) they laughed at the thought of Bakugo being scared, the teachers didnt even check to see he was mentally okay. Why didnt Bakugo go to Kirishima or any counciler? You may ask. Well: 1. He has known Deku the longest, and they used to be friends, (again based on experience) we tend vent to people who knew us in thr past but we barely connect to them now, as a means of telepathicly saying “i dont want anyone to know this but i do need to tell someone how im feeling”. 2.Based on #1, Bakugo continues to cut ties with Deku by litteraly fighting him, again because of his guarded nature. He is fighting as a way to still seem strong and to show that it wasnt his fault and that he could of beaten all of the villains with his power. The writers did amazingly well with the lead up to Bakugou’s break down, as well as accurately portraying teen mental health and the reason behind all of their actions. From Deku careing more about other people than himself, Bakugou being very guarded about himself, Toderoki’s introverted nature. All of them have their issues.

Am I the only one who noticed that when we finally got to meet Bakugou’s parents, she slapped him when he did NOTHING wrong? Honestly you could see him just sitting there calm and quiet and she smacked him over the head. It didn’t exactly sound softly either. That really didn’t sit right with me when I first saw it.

Your Waifu is an emotionally abusive mother.

Every ten seconds Mitsuki: *SMACK*

bakugos such a sad character, i love this video. people forget that he has canon anxiety, trauma, ptsd symptoms and inferiority/superiority complex. edit : i made this comment a year ago and i don’t rlly like bnha now lmao it’s funny to see y’all’s comments.

We need this man in a church

The thing with Asian and South-Asian cultures is that parents automatically expect such conformity from their children it can often be abusive. But yes, I love that Bakugo’s ambition is HIS own. I cannot help but feel inspired by that. Subbed!

You really did your research. I'm impressed.

Mitsuki and Bakugou’s relationship is like: You tell a child that they did something wrong and keep repeating it till they become successful. It’s engraved in their mind, thinking that they are either cause of someone’s death or they are weak and they’ll never get through life. It’s like the more you blame on a child, the more they believe it. If your a mother or a father, you should teach them from their wrongs in a nice and calm way, not in some aggressive teacher way. Because they’ll always think, *”Parents are right, and we are wrong. We should look up to them, to fix what we have done.”* edit: hai, how ya doin’ today? 😊

best video. ive seen people endlessly praising mitsuki saying bakugo deserves that treatment; which, as someone who has had experience with abuse, is a little hard to hear lmao. thanks for this 👍

Wish this had more views. No one cares she's abusive because she's hot af.

I would also like to say that most abuse is toned down when others are around and since misuki SLAPPED kasuki while people from outside of the family were around, imagine what it would be like behind closed doors

I am definitely gonna use this video to back myself up when people try to tell me that Bakugou is the worst character due to being mean

Isn’t Endeaver abusive towards shoto and shoto’s mom?

This man is a genius

THIS DUDE GETS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! literally putting everything ive thought into words 10/10

ngl, When he AND his mother was introduced I was very confused.confused on why Bakugo acts the way he is, mistaking affection as pity, being so aggressive, saying "THATS HOW I WAS RAISED" after talking about violence.And when Mitsuki appeared I was even more confused because of how she constantly hits him even though he didnt do anything.The first time he smacked him on the head, Bakugo was silent and doing nothing,just staring at the floor.Don't get me wrong I am asian as well and I always seem to witness abuse in my cousin's house.I found that the abuse i see in my cousins' is similar to Bakugo's: Both of them didnt do anything but were still hit anyway.I was genuinely confused on how Bakugo seemed to be "comedic relief" even after his mom called him a b**ch and weak which is the things he hates being called most.

A big factor of emotional abuse is your abuser being nice or affectionate towards you after they committed said harmful act, leaving you to wonder if it's just you being over dramatic and forgiving them.

I love this video so much. Most people just say “anime logic”. But no, this anime doesn’t do that. This anime doesn’t overlook anything.

Also the fact that bakugou feels guilt for All might loosing his power shows something. He himself was convinced that “I was weak and that’s why I was kidnapped.” He literally says that. Also I somehow feel like his mother (unintentionally) made him only value power in himself. That’s why he is so obsessed with it.

Glad I saw this, it makes me love my explosive best boi even more.

It connects!! I understand so well! For a long time I just thought Bakugou was a tsundere

I agree. Baku's Mom is abusive and i hate her for that. And don't come with shit like "She is deciplining him". The moment you intentionally hurt your kid physically or emotional you did something abusive. Intentions don't matter. If you hurt your kid intentionally you are a piece of shit who should rot away in prison.

My poor Explosive hedgehog

A bit of a Thank-You: Showing the way Bakugou acts with your own words is a good thing to hear. The music of suspense, thought, and more of emotinal ways is the way to show some information. Bakugou at a moment from this hides his true self easily. He doesn't want anyone to interfere through his problems. His attitude shows he doesn't really care for anyone, doesn't want anyone to care, and is really physical. His mother shows these ways telling him he is a threat. It's a hard time to accept kindness for him because his attitude is off his moments. Nothing really holds him back, especially when he gets it from his mother. I looked up what bad thing when you're suicidal for him, and checked he might have PTSD (POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER) and wanted to say this: the way you express his feelings and personality was perfect. Thank you.

I really hope he gets better

Honestly people seem to always hate Bakugou for being aggressive and mean but looking back on his childhood, how he was raised, and all the crap he had to go through you cant blame him too much. He's been through alot and his mom blames HIM for half of it. He has nobody, or thinks he has nobody, to talk to. So he uses aggression. Its really heartbreaking

I loved this video so much. I love Hero Academia and Bakagu's story. Also, I just enjoy listening to your voice. You are always just so poetic with your voice, so your voice is so relaxing to me lol

woah thanks for this vid! i feel like a lot of ppl brush aside mitsuki’s abusive tendencies and it makes me :/

Thank you for making a video. I remember trying really hard to convince some of friends that watch anime that he WAS ABUSED. All they said is “Oh she didn’t hit him hard tho” “it wasn’t like that at his childhood” “Doesn’t excuse his actions” “She isn’t abusive cmon, todorokis dad IS” and it was useless because they don’t know what an abusive parent is. (I mean it’s good that they don’t but being able to see abuse is good as well.) Now I have a video to show them) I hope they’ll listen to someone who isn’t me talking about how “you are weak that’s why you were kidnapped” isn’t ok.

ive always had a feeling that mitsuki was abusive because the way bakugo uses anger to guard himself was really similar to me doing it, and I've got a mother kinda like mitsuki so i figured there was something else making him act that way. it really fucking sucks hes had to go through this man. it's not fun and at this point i want to give him a hug.

The editing and script for this video are truly Grade A, well done Amra, well done.

I want to give him a hug

Bro how much am I gonna relate to Katsuki-San.

Bro, I'm in love with this because you actually know what you're talking about. Because it is clear that he is abused, but most people I have met use the excuse "Oh it is not abused because it was normal in Asian cultures." That is one stereotype and not true. BUT thank you for actually knowing what you're talking about. I love Kacchan's character and I love how other people can clearly see Misuki's not so great parenting skills.

This sounds like slam poetry. Beautiful.

Wow lol. That’s how I was raised too. I never understood why I resonated with kacchan so maybe that’s the reason why. I have the same mentality as him tbh (but I am more tame than him. Haha.)

I hate how some people justify her by saying:"She’s just disciplining him!". No. Hell no she’s not.

I'd like to mention the sludge villain incident. Have you seen ANYONE asking him how he feels and if he's actually fine. No. They just praised him for holding up instead of checking for his mental well-being. Yes, Katsuki is tough and brave, but he is a fucking teenager and this is one of the topics, which bother me the most. These characters aren't young adults, they are underaged kids and one of them was kidnapped by a group of MURDERERS and nearly got killed at the age of what? 14? Yet just a few ep after it was acted like fucking nothing happend. Noone even bothered asked him if he needed mental support from a professional. This kid still suffers from the sludge incident TODAY. Have you ever noticed that Bakugo's clothes got bigger and loser after the incident or how he always makes at least a few people stand behind? Well guess who got completely constricted at the point this shit went inside his mouth and he couldn't breath and got attacked from his back - yes this explosive aggressive kid. Instead of people even bothering to care about the following traumas he might suffer he got fucking mocked and made fun of it. He could have literally DIED. Btw I'd like to mention that there is the really plausible theory, aka scientific fact that nitroglycerin makes your heart rate lower dramatically and if he's not constantly stressed out and produces a lot of adrenaline he could literally pass out. This would also explain his mothers similar behavior, as a backlash of their quirks.

FINALLY! Someone who understands! I've always thought about things like this (mostly because of some experience). You also said a whole lot more that I haven't thought of, it made me cry. Here are my theories, if you're curious. I just wanna say something to all the people who hate Bakubro. No one gets angry over nothing, no one bullies for no reason. A few days ago my brother and I were talking (I'm not going into detail as this is a bit private). Basically, he had no one to talk to, he always did the wrong things. He felt as if he couldn't talk to anyone, even he and his dad weren't close. He was pretty much your stereotypical bad boy when he was around 11-13. It got me thinking about Bakubro. He doesn't seem close to his parents and even though his dad seems like a really nice person, you have to feel as if you can trust the person you're talking to, but since they aren't that close it makes it difficult. Some words can hurt him and some mean nothing at all. I think maybe that Bakubro didn't get much attention from his parents when he was younger, in the episode, they show his house it looks quite big and modern, which probably means his parents are rich, which is why he never got much attention as a kid, maybe because they were always busy. I'm not saying his parents are bad people, I'm saying that maybe they were just a bit too busy. This comes to the conclusion as to why Bakugou wants to be the number one hero. I think Bakubro wants to get his parents attention, especially his mum's. After all, she does call him a "brat", and most brats are useless. Maybe when he was a bit younger he started thinking a lot. So now he doesn't just want to prove the world wrong, he wants to prove himself wrong. When you have no one to talk to, it can make it hard to express your feelings (speaking from experience), which is why I think he tries to act all tough. Now that I'm typing all this down, it makes me want to meet Bakubro even more. What if my theories are right? Then I'd have someone who'd understand. The thing is, nothing that I know of has been confirmed, so I guess we'll just have to wait. Here's another theory. What if Bakubro bullied Deku because he actually likes him? As I said, it's hard to express feelings. What if he felt like that Deku would ruin his chances of being number one? What if he thought if he bullied Deku, he'd lose feelings for him. Because for some people their number one priority is happiness, and what if Bakubro thinks that the only way he'll be happy is by proving everyone wrong? That is just a theory of mine, but I think it makes a lot of sense, I don't care how offensive your opinion might be, so please if you have a different opinion please reply back. I want to know what everyone else thinks. After all, we're all different, so we all have different opinions and theories. I love you Bakubro. (I know he isn't real, but I like to imagine a world where I talk to him. Feel free to judge me all you want!) 🧡💚

Not to get emotional or anything, but this makes me realize why I like bakugou as a character so much. I looked up to him in the past because he was confident, strong and fiery, and I wasn't like that at all. Now I realize how much we actually have in common. We've both gotten this idea in our heads from an early age that we needed to do well and succeed or else we wouldn't be worth anything. We both hate the thought of needing help because we feel like we shouldn't need it. We both blame ourselves for not being enough. Externally, though, we handle these in different ways. He hid his insecurities through being aggressive and violent, I hid mine through people-pleasing and staying quiet.

I hate it when people call bakugo or anyone 'heartless' because everyone has a heart of gold it is if that gold is clean and shiny is when we only see how much it is worth. What I am trying to say is us humans only see what is on the outside, if you have a dirt covered piece of gold you can't see the worth of it. Only when you take care of it and clean it can you see it's true worth, and everyone is worth more then world.

I've never been able to stand Bakugo for the most part; almost everything about him was tailored to piss me off. I hate bullies, I can't stand cocky "everyone sucks but me" kind of characters, I hate when amazing powers are wasted on characters who SEEM to not have the personality God gave a pile of mud, and other triggers. When I see Bakugo I see a lot of those traits, but even I have to admit that distaste is tempered by his genuine, if self serving, desire to be a hero. Even if it's to validate his ego; one built up by everyone around him except Mitsuki for the most part, the kid still wants to be recognized as a hero. Hearing this kind of psychological breakdown of Katsuki and his further development as a character; it's taking him further and further away from characters I tolerate with clenched teeth to a character I actually enjoy.

I may be late to this but you can also see when he is having a mental breakdown infront of deku he repeats the words his mom told him about “not being strong enough” / “too weak” or “it’s my fault” And he also says that “it keeps playing on a loop in my head”. He also takes being a hero too seriously as in he said ‘he would break himself because that is what heros do’ which makes me think he was raised with the mindset of being strong and covering up everything. He yet again also wants everyone to use all their power on him as in that he has to ‘prove’ something,like if he doesn’t wanna let anyone see him as “weak” and wants to come off as “never giving up” person. I haven’t completed the anime so I may be wrong but from what I’ve seen, I have always liked bakugou because of we all know what type of character he really is. He basically had a rough childhood and my sister who has anxiety and panic attacks said that he seems to be having them in certain scenes which most people laugh at- but I don’t wanna sound a like someone who ruins the fun and is overreacting but ehhhh

Okay, here’s my opinion. I do think that Mitsuki truly loves and cares about her son. But just like Katsuki, she doesn’t know how to properly express herself. She might be emotionally abusing him without realizing it. A lot of people say that Mitsuki hits and yells at him to put him in his place for being disrespectful towards her. But from what l seen, Katsuki inherited his mother’s anger and aggression. In the episode, she said that Katsuki was like that because of the praise. That might be half true, but as a parent, it’s her job to properly raise her child and teach him how to be a decent human being. (Sorry if my english sucks, it’s not my first language lmao-)

So thiiis is why I love Bakugou so much.

Thank you for explaining this so now I’m going to show this to my non-believing friends that I’m right and why I love him.

He most likely was abused for not being good enough, so once everyone looked up to him he desired that love and praise, making him grow up to think he is above the rest.

This is a video everyone needs to see and watch

Next can you do an episode of on bakugou's Dad And how are he tries to extinguish the flames of his dysfunctional family

This is a wonderful in-depth analysis of a character that on the surface seems one dimensional, but in actuality, is very complex. But I find that people who are quick to dismiss Katsuki as a “ troublemaker” do the same to real people. Everyone is the way they are for a reason, and until we have walked a mile in their shoes, we have no room to judge them. Does it excuse toxic behaviors? Absolutely not, but one would shun or hate someone for a leg wound, so why should we do it for a wounded heart and mind? I guess my point is, the world could stand to be a little kinder, a little more empathetic, and everything starts with us as individuals.

I honestly think that bakugo has problems and that he covers it up that's why he is my favorite I can kinda relate

Awww I misjudged you Katsuki.😕

Thank you so much for making this. I've been saying this since I read that manga scene but no one believes me!

Damn I relate to bakugo always being mad at the world feeling like it’s your fault & your not enough

I never really looked at it this way the video is amazing 😁

I relate to Bakugo although not physically but I have been abused mentally and emotionally, I’ve been taking my anger out like him letting my anger rise up before I let it explode where I can’t control myself

Awesome Review!!! Also His mom was never showed to stop him from bullying other kids and all of a sudden she wants to educate him??

No wonder I love him so much, I relate to him. My father and mother remind me so much of his parents, and I really hope he gets better. I think being away from home and in the dorms will do him good.

Have you guys noticed that Katsuki slowly seems to get better while he´s staying at the dorms with the others, away from his mom?

THANK YOU!!!! I KEEP TRYING TO SAY THIS

amazing video! loved it last weeks episode put kachan in another perspective for me, this was really interesting

As someone that personally dealt with a toxic parent growing up, that's how I developed traits like Bakugo...literally, I was aggressive, isolated, depressed, I bottled up all my emotions so I would react to everything in anger. I had huge insecurity issues and the only person I could rely on was myself. As I watched MHA, I realized I used to be Bakugo. Not as intense though, because at least my dad didn't hit me. I'm 23 now though, and got all my issues sorted out and made up with my dad for the most part.

I literally cried watching this

I relate to his character so much that I guess I didn't realize how bad the treatment from my parents were...for a long while i thought it was normal for parents to do this to their kids. I see that's not true now

damn, lol, wasnt expecting ACTUAL facts with this, and omg something about the editing is hilarious🤣

I love this style of video! You should try this stuff more often!

This's so well made xD Good job Flitz ♡

I’ve explained this to others before, and I’ve been told: “Yeah but he was older when she hit him, so it’s not abuse.” As we know and can see from this video, it has NOT just been when he was older. Also, age DOES NOT MATTER. Abuse is abuse, no matter who is the abuser, why they decided to do said abuse, or what age the victim is. It does not matter in the slightest. If you have ever endured abuse or think that you have, please speak to someone or do research on the topic(s)-Stay safe out there!

Good quality content Plain Simple (Love the video style)

Now I have more in common with Bakugo.

This was such a brilliant video you seriously deserve more subs Flitz-sama.

This is breaking my heart! Your facts and thoughts on this were perfect and i absolutely hate that this has been ingrained into him, that he was weak and it was his fault. I hate that the only way he can get attention is by making trouble. Hopefully it will get better as the show progresses

The editing! Yes Ra ❤

I agree with Mitsuki being abusive, treating your child like that especially from a young age shapes a human being(I've seen it with my own eyes), I also agree with the fact that Bakugo being abused doesn't give him a free pass for how he treated the people around him though I think that Bakugo is surrounded by people who can help him learn important things and he's on a good path for the future, and one day he can virbualy tell Izuku sorry! (Spoiler alert!!) (so far he's doing pretty good on the whole being a more descent human being, especially with the whole sacrificing himself for Deku!!)

I've probably added like 100 views to this video by myself because my god. The rhythm combined with the amazing ass points, the voice, the background effects, the editing, the humor. Everything is just amazing and I think I'm addicted

Everyone that has no quirk has a nosebleed to mt.lady

I see that hair petting scene between Mitsuki and Katsuki as a master petting a dog. Like.....she keeps talking AS SHE'S DOING IT! Keeps insulting him like he's not even there listening to her do it, whille he's sitting there visually being mad about being smacked over his head! She's not seeing him as a human, she's seeing him as a pet who can't understand a single thing she's saying. Like......there is something seriously wrong with her head. I feel like she's in some ways WORSE then what Endevor did to his wife and kids and either way it's really not ok.

Wow... You just earned yourself a new sub, my guy

Dang. This actually change my mind about Mitsuki. I still wouldn't call her a bad mom, cause a bad mom doesn't give a damn at all or put in any effort to raise their kid properly, which Mitsuki clearly has even if the way she does is very wrong. She does care about him and his goals and aspirations and likely encourages them. But you are 100 right that she is probably part of the reason Katsuki has such a Might is Right world view for so long and has difficulty expressing emotion in a way that doesn't involve his fist. I would enjoy seeing more of her to see if this is ever brought up or addressed, cause if Endeavor can be redeemed and forgiven or at the very least given a chance, I think the same can be done for Mitsuki.

Tbh for me the way Kacchan was trembling after the first hit lowkey alarmed me. Such a small detail that was overlooked

Everybody overlooks the sports festival but like-- They CHAINED AND MUZZLED a teenager to a post, ON L I V E T E L E V I S I O N. sHOVED A MEDAL IN HIS MOUTH that he had EVERY RIGHT TO REFUSE, ACTED LIKE HR DESERVED IT AND SMILED-- That shit has to be TRAUMATIZING--

You sound like my old favorite PASAR teacher and it really soothes me! I really love this this video!

He be spilling sm tea rn

THANK YOU! Finally someone understands.

Damn, That Mapo Tofu make me hungry. (Mapo Tofu is one of my favorite food)

Lol he went from complimenting Mitsuki to that depressing stuff 😂😂😂

bro, my sister will not believe me when i say bakugos behaviour makes sense. maybe she’s gonna heccin listen to me now

When I first saw the scene I thought it was funny but after watching this I feel terrible about not understanding what made that scene wrong...

Not to mention but I would think as a mother who had nearly lost their child to powerful villains she would act more worried but no. Even though Bakugo is tough as hell, either she is completely confident in him or did not care, unlike Deku’s mom who gets very worried when Deku gets hurt. ALSO to blame her child after something traumatic does not sit right with me at all.

That's how i raised too i have anger issues mom still hits me for not being good enough

This is such a good analysis, very entertaining!

Here’s the thing tho ever since kacchan got his quirk everyone always already expecting an amazing hero out of him thinking that he was amazing n praising him and he as a child believed those praises he believed he was the best to him someone with power is strong that’s y he hated deku and saw as an obstacle n when he into U.A he realized that there are ppl better than him n with deku showing up wit an amazing quirk n everything his mom sees this but having such a stubborn child she can’t just tell him dat she has to show him dats y she tells all might not to praise him n tells him he’s weak to push him into getting better n not thinking he’s the king of the world like in middle school

everyone always overlooks his story, it makes me sad that his story is actually really deep and sad but most people overlook it all while paying attention to characters more like Deku. People pay attention to things like how Deku normally only cry’s from joy yet ignore that Bakugou clearly stated he was emotionally abused in many episodes. In some like the one mentioned in the video we even see it happen. I think people probably only overlook it because of the way they normally say it, like how they yell in a tone that sounds like it’s supposed to just be comedy and the faces they make while doing so. (not all episodes apply like the “Deku vs Kacchan” episodes, where he complete vented and let out more emotions) we can also tell he’s not to confident in himself, as clearly stated in multiple episodes from the anime. Most likely he covers up how he feels by putting others down (I don’t know to much about phycology but that would be my best answer)

Subbed. I love a good analysis.

I have seven out of ten but I'm not surprised. I already knew exactly how the shit from what should have been a childhood messed me up. But, some of us figure out how to turn all that damage into strength, as a result of all that, I have an insane amount of self-awareness. Unlike before, that self-awareness no longer does me harm, I use it to better understand myself. Being able to do this does take growth and maturity, I only figured out how to use it to my advantage now that I'm 27. But I don't think like others my age, I've always been described as being, "very mature" for my age. Maybe that's why others haven't figured out how use their trauma to their advantage... I'm gonna be thinking about this for a while, more self analyzation and observations to do...
