This scene is still such a tease. We know nothing about what’s going on here. Why 2nd is smiling. Why AFO apparently has tears streaking down his cheeks. Despite the lack of concrete information, though, I think it’s pretty clear what 2nd’s association with Katsuki is.
AFO’s words here remind me a lot of Katsuki’s “you were supposed to be a pebble in my path” frustrations about Izuku. His insecurity was that Izuku was somehow more powerful than he could even comprehend, for reasons that didn’t have to do with whether he had a quirk or not. During Katsuki’s fight up to ch 362, SFO threw this insecurity in his face, calling him an “extra,” saying he’s nothing compared to OFA, etc. And yet. Something about Katsuki still terrified him and made him have a flashback to 2nd. Based on ch 369, I’m inferring that this was because AFO’s entire ideology revolves around the power dynamic of quirks. To him, a person’s worth is entirely based on that, and someone like 2nd or Katsuki should therefore be beneath his notice.
Defying AFO’s expectations, 2nd did something that sabotaged his plans for total domination and sent him on a multi generation wild goose chase to regain that power (OFA). We don’t know what all 2nd was responsible for exactly, but the emotional tension in the opening scene of 369 alone says it all. If Katsuki triggered a flash of that same fear, perhaps he too is capable of such a defiance. Maybe OFA exists because of 2nd, figuratively and/or literally, and now OFA will either be completely altered or ended because of Katsuki.
AFO should fear Katsuki for his convictions about Izuku, and for how deeply he understands but has now rejected AFO’s quirk-based ideology

Yo! I don’t know why—and full disclaimer that this is just an initial fast fan translation—but how one of AFO’s Quirks is described reminds me “Attraction of Small Objects” (a.k.a. Inko’s Quirk).

SO. I’ve got something I want to say about this leak in particular:
“The quirk is stronger because One for All can now control each cell individually”
So since we’ve established that ofa works on a cellular level, that means Deku could potentially use the second’s quirk to accelerate the speed in which his (or anyone elses) cells can heal.
And you know who could really use some healing now:
This man.
If Edgeshot’s heart fails for whatever reason, Deku could be the one who saves Bakugou’s life

No because this has to be the most ‘Bakugo looking’ panel since Deku started fighting

I am losing my mind over this Original Gays panel… sh- … Yoichi is SO fine… why am I shipping him and 2nd together so hard?!
Maybe it’s because if they’re ever confirmed canon, bkdk’s own romance status would be elevated to inevitable and nothing and no one could stop their hearts from crashing into each other before the finish line🚊🚞 😌

Tenko, I know you’re frustrated but you don’t have to keep coming for him and these kids, like if you want Aizawa to adopt you too, I’m sure he can definitely do that
