Boku no Hero Academia

[Kraco]

From Bakugo's pov it undoubtly looks like that, which is why he's so angry, but it's also because Bakugo can't understand someone might have something more important in their sights than winning this tournament and proving they are the strongest. It was a different thing when Todoroki was fighting Izuku as back then he was still confused and hadn't figured out what to do, so the only thing he could do was to push forward on the same old path. Between these fights and still during this fight he had enough time to realise what he wants to do, and winning that contest had nothing to do with it. He doesn't care about being recognized as the strongest hero candidate, he only cares about saving his mom for the time being. Yeah, if he can't even save his own mom, how could he be a hero who would save numerous other people?

You can say he's shitting on the determination of most of the students there, but so what? It's up to him to decide what he wants to do. If the others have something to complain about, they can start by getting strong enough to face him in the first place.

Because it's not something a real hero would do. And he still wants to be a hero. At least, that's what he told Midoriya.

It's a profession. If you took a hundred police officers or firemen and asked why they chose that job, do you reckon every single one gives the same answer? Aside from the fact self-sacrifice is also something a hero would do. He realised this competition doesn't matter to him, so he handed over the victory to a guy for whom it seemed to be of utmost importance. From the audiences point of view I'm sure Todoroki looked far more heroic than the guy one was in chains on the podium. Bakugo looked like a fricking villain.

Now her setting didn't look like a mental health ward, but that idea actually makes sense in a way.

You mean it doesn't look like an Arkham Asylum? No. Nor should it. The series takes place in modern/near future Japan, where they deal with such things in a more modern way, and mental institutions basically just look like hospitals.

They made it clear though why he wants to be a hero. Like Midoriya, he wants to be like All Might. Which leads us back to "That's not something All Might would do."

Bakugo looked like a fricking villain.

Bakugo ALWAYS looks like a villain. It's SUPER unclear(but also super humorous) why he wants to be a hero instead.

No. I mean it doesn't look like the 3 mental health wards I've seen over the past 4 years working in Australian hospitals. For one, acute mental health wards are designed to be low risk and low stimulus.

Her room looks like any other cookie cutter anime hospital room. If she's well enough to be in such an environment she's well enough for discharge and community cares.

If you say so. The only one I've been to here in the US looked exactly like a hospital.
