Thread of my Gramp’s reactions to BNHA characters!
For context: My grandpa is a japanese immigrant! We’re very very close and I tend to send him the leaks for translations, so he knows a bit, not much. Also all these are translations of texts he’s sent me!!
Midoriya Izuku
Grampa: A very warm boy...if he came home he’d compliment my cooking. We both like Katsudon.
Me: so you’d just snack together?
G: He’s a growing child. He also needs the snack break.

懐かしい or Natsukashii basically means something nostalgic or that brings back good memories, my grandpa loves Todoroki since he said he reminds him a lot of Japan and Todo’s room was like his
