you've never thought about why they shout their move names, huh. figures.
[So many people here think they know "heroes" and "villains" and can apply those ideas to the ones in his world. yet so often, those simple definitions are shallow, if not outright wrong.
Oy, don't put him between you two's spat.]
"bakugo" - we're not that close, scruffy. [Welcome to Japanese culture, man.] i always back up what i say; i'm not a liar.
i know we're not close. i'm teasing you. keep up, blondie.
[Honestly, given how quickly Esikko corrected him, Dodger's surprised he didn't get a more explosive (hah) reaction to misnaming him. But he's starting to get the sense that Esikko is just like that about the people he likes.]
haa? how the hell would i know that?! you're western; first names are normal for you guys.
[One of Bakugo's closest friends here is Western and had the same thing. Though Scott could probably get away with calling him "Katsuki" by now. Besides, Dodger's calling about his Christmas present, so Bakugo's in a better mood than normal.
first names are for friends. and i don't really do friends. i figured pissing you off would make sure you don't hold back later.
[This is for sure not a normal stance in Dodger's world, he just needs everyone to know he's holding them at arm's length. He even calls his best friend by his surname, much to Palo's constant frustration.]

if you play your cards right you might get a taste once i get bored of beating your ass.
["If you play your cards right" like it isn't exactly what Dodger's aiming for. That's the point of sparring as far as he's concerned.]
