[They can get back to talking sappy and pounding each other later. Bakugo isn't even sure why he suddenly launched all that on Yuji. Maybe things built up. Maybe it seemed an okay segue into that history.
Maybe Yuji needed to hear that someone else deals with guilt in his life that other people would say is "unjustly" due but can't be so simply accepted as such by the one carrying it.
Complicated.
Their stories aren't the same, the numbers and people aren't the same, even the stakes aren't the same, but there are similarities that pertain between them. Survivor's guilt. The onus of feeling responsible for someone else's decline. The thought of "If only I'd" fill in the blank and everything would've turned out better...]
all might said something similar... 'it's your turn'. though he meant it more for deku.
but we carry what those before us left behind. our teachers gave us lessons. our heroes gave us strength. i want to be greater than all might to repay what he sacrificed for me... i know nanami believed in you too. he wasn't the kind of man to die for someone he didn't.
thanks, itadori. i'm going be stronger. i'm not going to lose. all might was someone the world looked up to and i'm not going to be anything less than that. i'll carry what he left behind, what every hero who's died in this war sacrificed.
[All Might. Endeavor. Midnight. Aizawa. Jeanist. Edgeshot. Mirko. Hawks. His teachers, his heroes, his mentors... and all his classmates who are fighting their hardest to save as many people as possible to achieve that victory.]
if they believed in us, we can't do anything less than the same.
damn ninjas cutting onions
