We typed him too quickly. He recently had some character development in the manga revealing it all... (chapters referenced: 140-142) He had this upbeat, outgoing, excitable and friendly persona and thought "Se dom!!" We payed no mind to how he spent a lot of time studying or at his part time job, because his friendly persona really showed in his character much more than his workaholic side but now we know why. Inuzuka was a distant, objective-driven child who failed to comprehend his friends' needs for closure: "In my secondary school years, I went out on an adventure. With a bicycle and little money, and my trusty phone, I'll never feel lonely no matter the distance I travel. That's why I looked inside myself and went where I wanted to go. With no hesistation, by myself, to the ends of the earth." >this immediately introduces us to Inu's objective style of thinking. The whole idea of never feeling lonely and being a minimalist who finds going after his goals alone a satisfactory style of living is a strong representation of dominant Te and inferior Fi. Inuzuka is reluctant to form emotional bonds and satisfy emotional needs so long as he was a goal to achieve: ["Hey, Inu-ccho, you're a nice guy but you're a little distant sometimes." "Uhh, did I do something wrong?" "No...it's more like, I was wondering when you would tell us which high school you're aiming for." "Huh? You never asked, though." "That's what I mean! You're being distant again!"] ["I like my friends, I've got a lot of friends too, and I do feel that I need to help them when they're in need." "But you're never in doubt. You never think about wanting help from others. You even learned to ride a bicycle all on your own. You know it's totally normal to have someone to talk to for help, right?" "Why do I need to ask someone whenever I'm doing something? It's my own business!"] ["Inu-ccho! Wanna hang out with us on the way home?" "My bad, I've got stuff to do!" 'I always interact with them in school. Just what are they not satisfied about?'] >He doesn't really understand the concept of being open and friendly with others as he just generally doesn't feel the need to do so - he's fine on his own. So he fails to understand why others would need to know his business involuntarily. Of course, if his friends need his help, he'll offer but it's not in his nature to do it when he feels it isn't required, because he doesn't read the emotional atmosphere. There're a few scenes with Izumi which show us how he had a wake-up call and realised his flaws. He never went out of his way to talk to others but he managed to form a bond that felt natural: ["I just feel like there's a difference between consciously making the time to talk to each other and being able to talk causally like we are now. Like, you know, it never really bothered me until now."] ["It's not like I'm insecure or something, as long as I have a phone, I'll be able to contact you."] >see, he doesn't really feel emotional, so, until Izumi, he wouldn't have suspected that others might feel emotional about it. The way he viewed Izumi was quite 'Te-like' in itself too: "Ah, that's because I've made a rival!" "A rival?" "Yep, he's really interesting you know? He was being all insecure and unconfident until recently. And he's such a sore loser! Looking at him makes me feel determined aswell!" "I'm glad." "Eh?" "What you're calling a rival is what they call a bestfriend. It could be that, that was what you needed..." >After this, we see Inuzuka cry for the first time in the plot, finally allowing himself room to consider his emotions and how his emotional life intertwines with others'. As for Ni, he already had his life planned out ahead from a young age (to be a veteranian and study at university in the countryside), which Izumi admires since he lacks that in himself - "It's really admirable that you have a goal." And in terms of Se (which we all mistook as his dominant function) - he uses it a lot. Se is his inner child function (tertiary) so he enjoys things like biking, sport, athletics, eating, gaming etc. just for his fun friendly side. He likes to seize the moment (especially with others) too. It also work along with his Te, because what makes his Se more enjoyable is turning it into an objective and engaging in Se required activities competitively. To conclude, Inuzuka is a healthy example of an ENTJ. It's not like he was living an over indulgent lifestyle or had an unhealthy use of Fi, he just needed to develop it - which he did eventually. That's why he developed the extremely friendly persona that he has; to avoid neglecting or letting down his friends. So he wasn't an Se dom after all, guys. ... So not only does he look like Bakugou, but now he's getting similar character development. I wonder if the author is a fan hehe.
