Alright, so I'm here to address some reviews about Chapter 2.

First of all, I would like to address "OOC-ness". Yes, I did try to stay true to how each character is in the anime/manga, but keep in mind, that this is fanfiction. There will ALWAYS be OOC-ness regardless of how hard you try. The characters go through different experiences in fanfiction and that affects a person largely or in just a small way. Either way, that change is perfectly normal but will make the character just that much different from canon.

Now, I want to address the ending with Bakugo. A review I got said that that was something Bakugo wouldn't do and was unlike him. That he's an asshole and would see himself as the main cause of Izuku's suicide. I would like to voice my opinion on this and what I was thinking when writing The Aftermath because I don't think it was clear from what I'm seeing.

I can understand where that reviewer was coming from. Bakugo is more of the person to confront the problem head on, but my idea/opinion, was that he was determined to make All Might pay. Not just telling him about it or some shit, but want to destroy All Might like he had destroyed Izuku's dreams. He would know that he couldn't defeat All Might, the number 1 hero, so confrontation was out of the question. He needed to hurt All Might and he decided to target his reputation. The news always twists things, sometimes everything they say is true, sometimes not so why not tell this story to the channel that would tell everyone what this supposed perfect being did. He's only getting started, but he wanted the first blow to HURT. He's accepted that he's to blame as well. He won't hide that. He's ashamed of it, but he would only be spitting on Izuku if he tried to deny it or hide it. I don't think I quite made his stance clear enough.

Bakugo is brash, and tends to things without thinking, but he is in no way stupid. He was one of the (if not the) top students in his and Izuku's middle school. He's intelligent and he knows strategy. Yes, he's not Izuku smart, but he's got brains. The incident would force him to think everything over. Not only Izuku, but what he had been doing. He basically had to rethink his life. His emotions would've forced him to think things through before acting, especially if he was going to go after the Symbol of Peace. I don't see Bakugo as a temperamental child like a lot of people seem to. Well, I mean he is in a way. That was a bit how he was portrayed in canon, but if you've read the manga, you can see more of his character and his reasoning behind his actions. A great example is his fight with Izuku over All Might losing his powers after the fight with All for One. Another example of character development is during the remedial test for that Bakugo and Todoroki had to do. Bakugo had told a kid, and I quote, "You won't be able to recognize your own weaknesses if all you ever do is look down on people." From what I remember of this scenes, his previous reactions, and even how his character further develops in the manga, this was how I figured he could've reacted. People tend to forget that he's one of the top students academically and in strength in Class 1-A. This was what I was thinking and considering when writing this.

As for All Might, having this suddenly happen would be quite a shock. He remembered talking with Izuku. He remembered his words to him, and looking back, he thought about how hypocritical his words were. He himself had been quirkless, but still strove to be a hero. I personally felt he had no right to say tell Izuku that he couldn't be a hero without a quirk (in canon as well). With sudden revelation of Izuku's suicide on the news, he would've been on autopilot while he processed this. He would've felt great shame and guilt. With that mindset, it would've been so very hard to face the family of Izuku. Not only that, but he didn't even know who his family was. He knew nothing about the boy except for what was said on the news and the fact that he had dreamed of being a hero. He couldn't go and confront anyone. On that note, neither could Bakugo. Keep in mind that they don't live in a big area. All Might's presence there would be rare and shocking. Bakugo couldn't have just gone out and searched for the hero to confront him. So even if Bakugo considered it, he would've gotten nowhere.

Now, I want to address kinda where I see Bakugo's path leading. My thoughts were, that he wouldn't be a hero. Hell no. Not with his guilt-ridden conscious. He wouldn't be able to face himself if he became a hero. Wouldn't be able to face Izuku. Yes, you could argue that he would strive even harder to be a hero, one that Izuku would be proud of, but that's not where I saw it going. I could maybe see him becoming a vigilante, but no. I saw him becoming a villain. I saw him hating All Might and stopping at nothing to get to him. I saw him joining the League of Villains with their similar goals and Bakugo isn't stupid enough to not see that they could be beneficial to one another. As for his thoughts on Stain, I can see him not necessarily agreeing with his actions, but I can see him agreeing with his view/goal. Honestly though, Stain's reverence of All Might being a true hero would probably falter if not shatter at the news. Would a true hero drive a young child to suicide? I can see that happening, but that's for another conversation.

I hope this clears up some questions or anything. I also hope this helps you understand Bakugo a bit more and his actions. I personally don't think he's a bitch nor did he 'conveniently' forget all the shit he put Izuku through. Yes, he blames All Might, but not for everything. He knows they're both to blame and accepts that. However, he knows that while he did a lot of shit, and probably pushed Izuku to the ledge, he recognizes that All Might is the one that pushed him over. Yes, Izuku was heartbroken, and extremely depressed after his encounter with Bakugo, he was only cracked. All Might broke him and took away the last thing he was holding on to.

Thank you to all who read this and sent me reviews, but I do ask that you keep them polite. I welcome ideas, questions, and even criticism, but still. Yes, it didn't take me too long to write this, and it's quite short, but I worked hard on this and I'm quite proud of how this turned out. Please respect that and, now, my thoughts on this.

I hope you all have a lovely day/evening/night!
