** Shouto, Izuku and Ejirou each react to Katsuki's legal woes and the mystery surrounding them differently. Shouto immediately leaps to conclusions based upon his past experiences with Fujimori; neither Izuku or Ejirou ''like'' those conclusions, but have trouble refuting them. Izuku struggles more due to his ''own'' history with Katsuki, while Ejirou tries hardest to stay faithful and keep believing in his friend.

Ultimately, U.A. is just as concerned with preserving their own reputation, no matter the cost to others.

** Aizawa, like Bakugou, has his hands effectively tied by U.A. His history of harsh behavior comes back to haunt him as well - much like his class struggles to believe in Bakugou after how explosive his temper has proven to be in the past, Aizawa's ScareEmStraight attitude makes it harder for them to ''not'' see him as complicit.

* RevealingCoverUp: PlayedWith; Shouto immediately recognizes that Fujimori's involvement in Katsuki's case means that U.A. is taking pains to conceal ''something''. Unable to prove precisely what that '''is''', however, he and his peers are left to speculate and make educated guesses about what that might be.

** Izuku realizes that U.A.'s seemingly flawless reputation comes at a high cost, wondering just how far they're willing to go to preserve that reputation.
** Shouto initially assumes that Aizawa will take ''his'' side when he arrives, and is heartbroken when he realizes otherwise.

Bakugou has messed up. Completely, irretreivably screwed up. Done something that has left him sitting quietly in a police station, staring down past the handcuffs encircling his wrists, watching the floor without seeing it. Unable to see anything other than his dreams silently dissolving away. For he has crossed the line. Done something that has sealed his fate once and for all.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27195472 King]]'' is a haunting ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Phantomrose96/pseuds/Phantomrose96 Phantomrose96]]. A story about how much U.A. has invested in Bakugou Katsuki, and how far they are willing to go to ensure that said investment is well rewarded. It simply wouldn't ''do'' for him to prove all his worst critics right, after all... No, it wouldn't reflect well upon them at all. And so... steps must be taken to ensure that all goes well.
