Uraraka said that her words won't reach him but...their actions will and Deku at last realised it and asked them to forgive him before passing out.

Bakugo has been getting so much character development, a bully accepting his actions just like how Endeavor is accepting and is trying to atone and so is Bakugo by working together with Deku or should I say Izuku? Endeavor and Bakugo are so alike.

UA fort looks just like Taurtatus prison, hope it doesn't gets invaded again.

Civilians don't want Deku to come to UA and so does Deku but they are right in their own perspective.

It's nice to see Endeavor training 1A.

"Save by Winning and Winning by Saving" and "Who saves the people when they need saving" these two lines have struck me.

A really great chapter yet again.

P.S- 13 is soooooo cute!!!

Next week is a break.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING 5 FUCKING YEARS FOR THIS. It was absolutely worth it and made me cry for a good long while.

The transitions of them from kids, to middle school, to high school, to heroes just made me weep more so.

Calling him Izuku was the nail that striked me the hardest.

I also love to point out this beautiful detail:



This panel is what young Kacchan was looking at from the volume 29 insert page with the cover of current Kacchan contemplating his decision to take Deku's hand. It's honestly. Beautiful.




The weird emphasis on Uraraka through out the apology and then at the end. Not sure where he's going with her character; as always. I'm done spinning wheels with her. I really need her to make big character strides here. Cause I'm pretty tapped out of caring.

It's good to see Bakugou doing what he should have done a long time ago and finally calling him by his first name and not Deku.

Now will have to see how it will go from here on

Dude I cannot help but want to freaking cry damn it. Dynamight really said it. He really took a big step in the ring. However, there is one problem. It looks like people knows that Shigaraki is after Deku. However, Uraraka steps in and holds Izuku's hand and tells him not to worry. AUGH!! I can't I really can't this chapter is freaking good. X3

DAMN, this was the ultimate character development chapter for Bakugou.

Also PISS OFF you stupid civilians and someone should TELL THEM if All For One gets Deku, its endgame for everyone.

Thank god Ochako was there for Deku at the end, now gets him a nice good sleep, a shower, food and a new Hero Costume.

Im guessing this is the end of the Villain Hunter Arc.

Also I didn't see no break at the end of the chapter, its just said Ch. 322 END.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Kirishima and Ashido xD

Anyway, Bakugo redemption was fucking everything. This was something I wanted to see since the very beginning and it really delivered. Bakugo acknowledged his mistakes by opening up and I love it how he made clear that he and the others will support Izuku from now on. One of the top moments in this entire series. Finally some good shit again.

The fanbase is waiting...otherwise Bakugo will take you away, which I'm sure a good amount of the fanbase wouldn't mind that.

Well, Bakugo finally spoke the truth. How he felt about Deku the whole time. Glad to see him improving so much. But, this is not enough for Deku to go back. And not sure that he'll go back. No one wants him there beside his own class and the teachers.

The transitions from kids to now was just amazing. Well done, it made Bakugo's speech x100 better.

UA school looks like a bunker LOL.

Awesome chapter, nothing to say but I hope not to confession from ochaco at this stage this couple is just simply forced, it is not in chapter 322 that you are going to develop a couple or romance does not exist at all, if there is a romance its will be just for the enjoyment of the fans and not for the story.

This whole thing dragged for too long and since I find Bakugo a cringey character I couldn't care less for what he said, the emotional response could have been way better instead of this "talk no quirk" thing.

It took Bakugo to start the clash between class A-1 and Deku, but in the end, it took Bakugo to settle it all down. And in the most uncharacteristic manner possible, Bakugo laid out all of his thoughts right there and then... His inferiority complex, his denial and his acknowledgement for Deku's capability and efforts. I am so fucking glad that he came right ahead and justified all of Deku's actions as not being misguided, it's simply a path that an inheritor of OFA is required to take. That alone eases my frustration, but Bakugo really went far and beyond and finally, after many long years, he finally apologized to the person he's envied since childhood, he apologized to Izuku.

This is a monumental point in Bakugo's character arc, a gigantic leap in character development and frankly, in the story's progression. From here on out, perhaps we might be able to see these two powerhouses fight it out alongside one another not based on spite or rivalry, but cuz they're fucking homies, despite how cheesy that might sound...

I was half expecting Izuku's mother to be in the frontline of that protest and shut down all these ignorant civilians who have forgotten the single kid they're preventing to enter is the one who saved a shitton of their helpless asses.
Something tells me Ochaku is about to spill some cold hard facts on these people with how determined she looks.

Oh and 13's face revealed, she's pretty cute, pog.

Legit never got goosebumps from a manga since Blue lock. This chapter was EPIC!

They are seriously thinking a simple barrier will protect them from Shigaraki's annihilation? They are so naive.
The ignorance of the civilians is probably the biggest I've ever seen in any anime/manga. It's common sense that if they let Deku leave alone then the world will go boom boom.

Everything about this chapter was amazing.

It is not often that I see such amazing character development in someone who was a bully for most of the series. While Bakugou has been the bad apple for most of Izuku's life, ever since Bakugou found out about One for All, I feel that this is where his character development truly began. I love that Bakugou has been faced with accepting his flaws and acting upon them, and his apology to Izuku really hit the nail on the head for me. From transitioning from being kids to where they are now, calling Deku by his real name, and lowering his head - I cried... HARD. I truly love Bakugou as a character, and this chapter has really solidified that opinion for me.

This was simply amazing.
From the Flashback to the sludge-f@#%er to the montage while Bakugou apologized.

The only bump I see is that UA might have a civil war on its hands.

Honestly would have been better if the students followed Izuku and left in disappointment.

Those civvies need to be taught a few facts.

Horikoshi nailed the apology scene. The decision to show them throughout the years is brilliant, highlighting the length of their relationship and thus how far both have come.

The paneling itself is excellent as well. I love how it's divided between Bakugo's speech and Deku's reaction. Not only do we get to see the profound effect Bakugo's words are having on Deku but it pays off incredibly well with the next page, the apology.

Having the panel breaks during the Bakugo's speech constantly emphasize the gap between them, highlighting the apologize with a full page with them finally on the same panel is really effective visual storytelling.

What an amazing chapter, definitely one of the best chapter in the whole series. Mina saying she didn't wanna lose anyone else almost made me cry, it was a simple moment but it was very effective.

Bakugo finally apologized and now more than ever was the perfect time to do so, the way they showed them through different times building up to the apology and then the "I'm sorry for everything" comes and hits us like a truck. Very well done.

Fuck the civilians, but it's understandable that they think that way and also pretty realistic. Ochako holding Deku's hand and reassuring him that it's ok is so fucking sweet. I assume she'll talk some sense into the civilians. But you telling me we gotta wait 2 weeks for Ochako greatness? Fuck!

Also, obligatory Thirteen is cute, I wanna see her in color soon. Can't wait for the next chapter.

The way Horikoshi depicted Bakugou and Midoriya at each stage of their interwoven lives while Bakugou finally opened up to Midoriya and allowed himself to be vulnerable in order to save his friend was a masterpiece. Bakugou’s character development is just on point *chefs kiss*

To those who found Bakugou's character development amazing, good for you but I feel like his development is pointless.
Why do I feel it's pointless? Because his behaviour towards Deku never impacted emotionally at all. He told hurtful things to him but still Deku never minded that at all. He even told him to take a swan dive off the roof but it still never emotionally and mentally affected him.
He never even demanded any apologies from Bakugou. Lets see it this way, when Deky found out he was quirkless, his Mom said " I'm sorry you were born quirkless Izuku" but he wanted her to say "You can be a Hero too" but instead, his Idol, All might said that and that's why the conversation between Inko, All might and Deku when they were moving in the dorms felt so meaningful. While Bakugou's apologies never impacted to him cuz he doesn't care.
The scene could've been more meaningful if the words said by Bakugou in the past even hurt a little to Deku but he didn't mind those words at all.

"i have to free myself from his grasp, but i don't have the strength left to do so"
"of course i want to honor class a's feelings about all this, but no, i can't come back"

bakugo apology / character 'development' is also unnecessary and pointless as it doesn't really matter that much as deku don't give any f in the first place and he kinda past that era anyway.

i guess we back to boring 'academia' again.

thirteen face reveal is more exciting than the plot.

Bakugo's scene and apology was very well done, just wish Midoriya's part in their relationship wasn't so lame. All the development and complexity in the Bakugo/Midoriya relationship comes almost entirely from Bakugo's end because heaven forbid Midoriya was actually allowed to be realistically flawed and have any sort of genuine human emotions on the matter and didn't spend the entire series shilling and gushing about how strong and amazing Bakugo was.

I'm glad the class fight is finished, I could only take so much more of the other students being treated as nothing more than Deku's friends. Literally nothing that any of them went through because of the war even mattered because of course the only thing they can think about is how they can help Deku and ease his suffering...

when saved Deku from getting stabbed his quirk got awakened and he understood what does it means to "die" so it was his development. The whole point of this conversation was to stop Deku going solo and like Uraraka said their actions are also necessary to reach out him and after Iida caught up to him he was convinced for most part and Bakugo did the final act of convincing him by admitting his weakness which was his devlopment, Deku said that they can't catch up to him but Bakugo his childhood acquaintance and the person who Deku looked upto when his desire to win surpasses his desire to save he acts like Bakugo (in deku v bakugo part 2 he admitted it) and they are both friendly rivals to each other so saying that he can't win this on his own and showing how much he progressed made him reflect on how harsh he had been on his classmate and everyone grouping up to stand beside him showed their growth as well which was foretold by the 2nd user that he needed allies and 1A is there for him coz they all know what it means to lose someone they cared about and now they are serious as well and Deku asked for forgiveness as well before passing out.

OR

Maybe Hori or the editors might have wanted to use Power of Friendship so as Deli doesnt go edgy and works in a team but they know how hated it is and wanted to spice things up and get past this phase easily so they used Bakugo's development.

Whatever the case might be I am happy with the execution of the trope.

Your point is correct but the point was to stop Deku from going solo not to make Deku believe in himself.
