#Aizawa is probably the current authority figure for shinsou
Text
Shinsou: I hate all those things that were like, “they used to be so strong and funny…. ThEn [insert trauma here], now they are a shell of what they once were”
Shinsou: I can be traumatized and still be strong and funny. I’m the funniest fucker I know
Tsuyu: yesterday you said that you wanted to enter a coma so you didn’t have to deal with an authority figure being mad at you again
Shinsou: both can be true, am I not allowed to have duality, tsuyu??

Shinsou x reader headcanons
You met at the sports festival
He was just staring at the class 1A (wich you are part of)
After he watched you fight your opponent he was mesmerised
Later on you two will probably talk when he gets the courage to sit with you during lunch
It would jus tbe randomly
And he would stare too, not asking anything
Until you spoke up "hi can i help you?"
And that's when he heard your voice for the first time
And he LOVED it
Would sit randomly at lunch with you and just ask you questions about the hero course
Wich you finded out he wanted to join
And you fully supported him
Wanting to swap the current purple boy for a new one
And that's how your friendship grow
You two eventually got closer when he started training with Aizawa
Showing you the new moves he learned and stuff
You showing him what you're learning in the hero course so he doesn't go behind you all
And he will probably tell Aizawa about you
But without mentioning your name
Aizawa figured it out himself when he saw you two after school talking
And he conforted him about him
Telling him to ask you out
And he did
And you said yes ofc
Author's note: sorry this is shitty but I just wanted to write something for shinsou

The Ghost!Izuku AU no one asked for
Well. I asked for it.
Ships: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Izuku, Yagi Toshinori/Aizawa Shouta, Shinsou Hitoshi/Midoriya Izuku Other notes: Shinsou Hitoshi takes Mineta’s place
Midoriya Izuku is a ghost. He doesn’t really remember the details, but he thinks he was about 20 when he passed away. He’s also fairly sure quirks weren’t a thing while he was alive, and he had definitely never heard of U.A. before he found himself in an empty classroom.
Well. An almost empty classroom. Aizawa Shouta is dozing away in his yellow sleeping bag, mostly hidden under his desk. It takes Izuku the better part of an hour to notice, too busy trying to make sense of his situation. The last thing he remembers is... uh. He wants to say a bright light but it feels very cliché. Taking a look at his clothes doesn’t help him either. They’re not even his clothes - he knows enough to know that he wouldn’t have worn a turquoise - green? what’s a green shade of turquoise called? - hoodie over skinny black jeans with ripped knees, and red combat boots if he were alive. He takes another moment to question why he has colouring - if he weren’t transparent and floating he wouldn’t have thought that he was a ghost at all.
Actually, he wouldn’t have noticed that there were another person in the room at all if he hadn’t spent so long taking in his appearance and surroundings that Aizawa Shouta woke up due to the never-ending train of thoughts that came out of Izuku’s mouth. It’s perhaps fairer to say that Aizawa noticed him before he realised a yellow sleeping bag was taking up his vision.
They stare at each other for not even a second before Aizawa’s hair is floating, eyes glowing red, and a scarf is passing right through Izuku’s body. It’s very strange to look down and see something passing straight through your body, even if you have accepted that you’re a ghost.
Izuku opens his mouth to start asking questions, but Aizawa jumps out the door. Still in his sleeping bag. Izuku considers following but he hasn’t yet figured out how being a ghost actually works. How do you walk when you’re floating a solid foot above the ground?
Aizawa doesn’t come back and Izuku spends an unknown amount of time exploring the classroom after he has figured out how to move and interact with things. The sun sets at some point and then rises at another, but his vision is just as good in the darkness that he doesn’t give it more than a cursory thought. By the time he starts hearing people moving around outside the classroom he has deduced two things: the dead doesn’t sleep, and he can’t leave the classroom. ...also there are 20 desks in the classroom and he finds himself drawn to one of them in particular - the middle desk in the row closest to the windows - which is why he’s currently sitting on it.
Students start trailing in after a while. If he had to guess, they’re probably fresh out of middle school. They can also obviously see him but so far no one has commented on him casually sitting on a desk, basking in the warmth of the sun and taking in their curious appearances. With the floating hair and glowing eyes yesterday, he had understood that this isn’t the same place that he’s from, but to see so many variations! It’s strange and exciting, and he thinks being a ghost is the only reason he accepts it so easily.
A sudden explosion in his face draws his attention and he finds himself looking at a very angry blond. Izuku blinks a few times in confusion because at this point he has deduced at most probably think him a teacher or T.A. or something, and you shouldn’t try to harm an authority figure. This apparently doesn’t stop the angry blond, who rants something about a deku and seems very annoyed that the explosions don’t make an impact. Izuku is just happy that he’s still sitting on the desk because the whole interacting with things part is very hard.
Then the classroom door opens and he looks at a mirror image of himself. Only younger. The angry blond is still exploding until a familiar sleeping bag shows up behind his younger self. Izuku waves, because even if the sleeping bag man is still a stranger, it’s a familiar face.
Aizawa definitely didn’t sign up for this. A classroom of twenty hormonal teenagers is one thing, a person who he refuses to believe is a ghost considering the number of quirks that exist is another. He glances down at the unruly mess of dark green hair in front of him, and then back up at the person sitting casually on a desk. Related maybe? Except the kid in front of him seems pretty shocked. Aizawa grumps and pushes his way past to his desk. His movement puts things in motion as the students move to sit at their desks, except for the blond responsible for the explosions, the young man sun-basking, and the student by the door.
“Izuku?” Izuku decides to ask because seeing an alternate version of his younger self is a pretty weird experience and he can feel the sleeping bag man - teacher? - staring at him. He very much wants to befriend the sleeping bag man.
It shocks his - okay, he needs a shorter way to say this... his... uh... his brother. That’s good enough for now, even if they’re essentially the same person. It shocks his brother out of his frozen state, and Izuku watches as he comes closer to the desk. Maybe he should move if the class is about to start. He can always just float above everyone since there’s not really any more places to sit.
He lets his brother sit down by the desk he had been occupying before he pushes off it. He floats awkwardly for a bit before he gets his bearings and walks over to the supposed teacher. Since he’s pretty much stuck, he should introduce himself.
“Uh. Hey. I’m Midoriya Izuku - feel free to call me Izuku to avoid confusion - and I’m dead. Whatever is going on here - and I would love to have someone explain it to me - didn’t exist when I was alive. I don’t want to be an inconvenience but I’m also physically unable to leave this classroom. Please take care of me!” He smiles brightly and does a bow just because, first in the direction of the teacher and then in the direction of the class.
The result is chaos and very curious hands going through him, resulting in uncomfortable shivers. The resulting chaos ends when the teacher’s hair starts floating and eyes glowing, as the students return to their desks. Izuku leans in close because it’s fascinating and he has never been good with personal space.
...uh. maybe I should just write a fic. i take questions and suggestions because i don’t really know where i’m going with this yet.

BnHA Chapter 217: The Same as Him
Previously on BnHA: Deku’s team beat Team MonoShin and secured the overall victory for class 1-A. Aizawa was all “hey Deku wtf was that shitshow out there” and Deku answered truthfully but vaguely and said he wasn’t sure. He credited Ochako and Shinsou with saving him, but then Shinsou got all down on himself and said that he only did it because Ochako asked him and because he knew his team would lose if he didn’t act. Aizawa was all “you bonehead, you’re being too hard on yourself” and said that no hero is born truly selfless and that that’s one of the qualities they train to learn. He and Vlad both agreed that Shinsou had more than earned a passing grade, and would most likely be joining the hero course in year 2. The chapter wrapped up with Monoma declaring that he would have won if he’d known ahead of time that Deku’s quirk would turn out to be a “dud.” This led Deku to ponder what exactly occurred when Monoma failed to use his quirk, and it also prompted Aizawa to ask Monoma to come see Eri, most likely to see if he can help her figure out how to control her quirk.
Today on BnHA: All Might, Deku, and Bakugou discuss Deku’s new OFA shenanigans in private. Bakugou points out that there must be some reason why this is happening now, and speculates on the possible connection to All for One. Later that evening, after unsuccessfully trying to draw the quirk out again, Deku heads back to the dorms ominously pondering the relationship between his power and AFO’s. Todoroki walks up to Deku and is all “dude does this make us two-quirks buddies now” and Deku awkwardly makes up some bullshit about it being an offshoot of his original quirk, which Todo buys into hook, line and sinker. The next day the faculty agrees to move Shinsou to the hero course, and Present Mic says the kid reminds him a lot of a young Aizawa. He also namedrops someone called “Shirakumo”, which immediately makes Aizawa go all stiff and hastily exit the conversation. Over at the teacher’s dorms, Monoma copies Eri’s quirk but proclaims it another “dud.” He explains that his power only copies the bare-bones of a quirk, and not any accumulated power stored within said quirk. Eri apologizes for having a “bad quirk” that’s so hard to deal with. Deku reassures her that powers aren’t good or bad and it all depends on how you use them. He realizes this applies to his own power as well, and resolves to master it no matter what.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my mostly-unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’m caught up with the manga now at chapter 225, so any ETAs will reflect that.)
oh my fucking lord
Tumblr media
holy shit. it’s Todoroki not using his flames during the sports festival all over again. DAMN IT DEKU YOU’D BETTER FUCKING TAKE ME SERIOUSLY I’LL KILL YOU
that, or they’re both actually trying to see if they can draw the quirk out again. DEKU IS THIS A CONSENSUAL SPAR. OR DO YOU NEED ME TO COME OVER THERE AND GIVE THIS BOY A STERN TALKING-TO
they do seem to be in one of the gyms, so at the very least they were presumably smart enough to get permission this time and probably All Might is there watching them
lol
Tumblr media
on the other hand, All Might’s supervision doesn’t always mean much for keeping them in line. he has to learn to assert his authority more
oh good, my concerns were unwarranted
Tumblr media
it is indeed consensual! Katsuki’s actually out here trying to help Izuku learn to control his new ability! let’s just stop for a second to repeat that. Katsuki is helping Izuku to get a better handle on his quirk. yes, that Katsuki. and that Izuku
though it seems like he misinterpreted the goal of the exercise a little bit possibly lol. to be fair, in his mind he probably doesn’t understand the need to try and put training wheels on this thing and probably feels like Deku should fucking own that shit
(ETA: and having given it more thought, I’m gonna go ahead and say he’s fucking right, actually. I won’t get super in-depth about this since I’ve already posted about it before, but this shows how much faith Katsuki actually has in Izuku, though. in his mind he doesn’t view the new quirk as a danger, and he seems to be of the opinion that all Izuku needs is more practice using it. what’s more, once Deku starts muttering about how he tried to lock the power away, Katsuki immediately gets frustrated and leaves, declaring the whole thing pointless for the time being. pretty sure this is because he’s already come to the conclusion that Deku will also reach by the end of this chapter -- that it doesn’t matter what the nature of the quirk is; what matters is how you use it. in other words, Deku needs to stop being afraid of it and start embracing it.)
anyways, but the point is that yet again we’re only making forward progress with these two. no regression; no jealousy over Deku powering up yet again. and god but it’s just so, so gratifying to me to not have to go through the whole one-step-forward-two-steps-back thing with these characters. once they learn their lesson, it’s learned. this might be my single favorite thing about BnHA tbh
anyways so let’s continue with this chapter which I’m only one and a half pages into and am already in love with!
so Deku’s looking at his right arm appraisingly and confirming that the quirk isn’t activating
he says its “presence” has complete vanished
and now we’re getting a flashback to what I assume is earlier that afternoon, after the training exercise but before this little get together
and OH MY GOD BUT YOU GUYS
Tumblr media
KEEP KACCHAN IN THE LOOP 2K19
DEKU LOOKS SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM THERE THOUGH. AND LOL DID HE JUST INVITE HIMSELF IN OR WHAT. YOU JUST TRY AND HAVE A MEETING WITHOUT HIM AFTER THAT SHIT YOU JUST PULLED DEKU
All Might says that Katsuki is sharing this secret with them now, after all
AND WHERE WAS THAT ATTITUDE DURING LUNCH EARLIER TODAY, THOUGH. WELL WHATEVER, I FORGIVE YOU NOW ON ACCOUNT OF BEING SO HAPPY I COULD CRY
so Kacchan is asking if All Might knew about the whole black quirk thing
Tumblr media
fffffff so would that be the Shouto-looking one in the trenchcoat, then? godfuckingdammit, they really did only give us one female wielder of OFA and then fucking went and killed her ass
Bakugou please share some more bonding moments with All Might and Deku so I can take my mind off of this please
also sure would hope Shimura was unaware of it, otherwise lord only knows what she was thinking not telling you. though you were likely only a year older than these two when she passed away, so maybe she just hadn’t gotten around to it yet. that is, if she takes after you and waits ten million years before telling her successor anything
Tumblr media
again, not even a hint of ill will toward Deku for being so amazing. and after all, why would there be? he already sorted out his feelings on that on the night of the provisional exam. he knows what he has to do and he knows what Deku has been tasked with doing. so if anything, Deku getting stronger is only a good thing, because he’s All Might’s chosen successor and so he should fucking get stronger already
and I love that All Might also caught that as soon as the question was answered he didn’t waste time pondering it and immediately went to the next logical step in the deduction process. he is an official member of the Scooby Squad now
and also lmao at “don’t call people trash,” but I wonder if he’ll actually listen though. listen, at this point there is no Bakugou character development that would surprise me. he is crushing it; I wouldn’t put anything past him
Deku says that all Hellboy said was that “the time has come,” but I’m inclined to agree with Katsuki though that there was some sort of external trigger. what was it that triggered his dream last night? and I’m still not convinced it’s a coincidence that Shinsou has had some involvement with Deku both times that this Vestiges shit happened
oh SHIT
Tumblr media
FUCKING YESSSSS OH MY GOD
this. this is the kind of shit I’ve been waiting for THIS WHOLE TIME
how many meetings like this have All Might and Deku had together, though? they’ve discussed all kinds of things about One for All, and yet this is the one topic that they’ve never once addressed, aside from all the way back in chapter 59 when All Might first told Deku about OFA’s origins. they’ve just kind of skirted around this shit. and I mean, I understand why; obviously AFO is a huge trigger for All Might in general, and it’s just easier for both of them to pretend like he’s no longer a threat now that he’s safely tucked away in prison
except that both of them know that is some bullshit, though. because unlike Katsuki, these two clods know about Nighteye’s prophecy, for one. and there is a reason why there’s been a fire burning underneath Deku’s feet ever since the end of summer, and it’s not just because of the conversation the three of them had at Ground Beta. he knows. deep down some part of him knows he can’t afford to sit on his hands. there’s been an urgency in the back of his mind for quite some time now
and as for All Might, he’s been to visit AFO in Tartarus and he’s seen for himself what that situation is like. AFO’s total lack of concern over his current predicament, and his gleeful talk about the “machinations” he’d put into place and about how everything was going just like he’d planned. and we saw for ourselves not too long ago that even the guards over at Tartarus are fearful of AFO and he puts them on edge and they don’t appear to be at all confident in their ability to hold him if shit hits the fan
basically what I’m saying is that both All Might and Izuku have been walking on eggshells when it comes to this topic even though the situation is unavoidable. so I’m really fucking glad to see Kacchan bring it up almost immediately because yes!! thank you!
OH MY GOD
Tumblr media
KATSUKI IS A DAD FOR ONE THEORIST CONFIRMED. oh you really are my son aren’t you
smdh fucking look at this shit
Tumblr media
and there we have it. he was thinking it as well but wasn’t going to say anything about it
two conversations in and I’m already fucking over the moon at Kacchan’s dynamic with the two of them and the refreshing change he brings to their plot pow-wows with his blunt and straightforward approach. I swear to god Katsuki if I could make you my favorite character all over again I would
so now we’re back in the gym, and Katsuki’s arguing with Izuku. “I’m tellin’ ya, you need to feel more like you’re in danger!”
Tumblr media
I like how confident he is that he’d still be able to kick Deku’s ass even with the new quirk activated sob
(ETA: and in fairness to Bakugou, @addermoray made a really good point a few days ago about his ability to keep up:
Tumblr media
this is an excellent take and I completely agree, actually. doesn’t really matter how many quirks Deku gets if Bakugou’s one single quirk gives him near-unparalleled firepower, speed, and agility. he can already pretty much do it all, and the one thing he is still lacking (experience) he’s gaining more and more of with each passing day. so good on him; the rivalry remains alive and well.)
and truthfully, his theory isn’t wrong. we all know that the next time Deku’s back is really against the wall OFA is gonna do some crazy shit again
meanwhile Deku is looking thoughtful and says that if the quirk really does respond to his feelings, “then, at the time...”
DFLKHSLDKJ YOU DON’T HAVE TO REMIND ME WHAT YOUR FEELINGS WERE AT THE TIME DEKU HOLY SHIT IS THIS CHAPTER REALLY GONNA GO THERE TOO!?
aww damn we’re going in a different direction lol
Tumblr media
you need to make up your damn mind son. do you want it or not. how about you imagine yourself unlocking it and having total control of it?
meanwhile Katsuki is fed up and walking away since they’re done with the plot talk and the fighting part and now it’s just Deku standing there pondering
(ETA: and as I said in the earlier edit, it’s clear that right now Deku isn’t on the same page as him as far as mastering this. I’m hoping to see more rival training sessions in the near future now that Deku seems to have come around as of the end of the chapter, though.)
so All Might’s saying they’ll call it a night then, and he’s asking Deku if he’s all right, and then dropping him off at the 1-A dorms
and there is yet another shot of Deku staring at his hand. he’s been doing that a lot lately
but! this time the panel is actually extremely intriguing though!
Tumblr media
okay two quick Dad for One things here
Deku staring at his own hand and thinking “All for One’s power” is the most blatant fucking foreshadowing I’ve ever seen though
look at the way his face is lit, half in shadow and half in light. that shit is intentional, make no mistake. Horikoshi knows exactly what he’s doing here. good and evil. light and darkness. the son of AFO and the heir to OFA. I am officially bumping up the likelihood of this theory from 30% all the way to 40%. closing in on fifty-fifty odds now guys
anyway, so believe it or not we’re only five pages into this chapter and already it’s a fave. god I love BnHA’s in-between chapters so fucking much
oh damn
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tetsutetsu what are you doing here in the 1-A dorms
and they’re having a conversation that is just impossible to translate to English free from any innuendos
Tumblr media
I feel for poor Turk over there at Mangastream, I really do. he’s just trying his best
out of curiosity I went to go check the Viz translation to see how Caleb handled it, and I gotta give him props
Tumblr media
that must have taken some doing
lol so anyway then we get this panel
Tumblr media
KiriTetsu is the purest ship in this entire canon and I will fight anyone on that
also, “everyone”, huh
oh wow
Tumblr media
lmao Ochako’s seemingly-disembodied head in the bottom right corner weirded me out for a sec, especially with her being right next to Hagakure
and jesus christ Toadette, mere hours ago you nearly killed this dude and now you’re hounding him for photos of Hawks that would more than likely get him in trouble to share even if he did have them. please be more considerate
I ship MomoKendou, and seeing Momo with her hair down is so nice. she so rarely does it. she usually has like an Ariana Grande thing going on
I don’t know what the hell Mina is doing to Mineta there but I support it
(ETA: apparently this is a reference to A Clockwork Orange. as previously stated, I support it.)
is Kacchan eating by himself. by my reckoning there are still 17 other people unaccounted for so probably not. but I don’t see Monoma and I’m wondering if he’s gonna go bother him. I actually wouldn’t mind. it wouldn’t feel right if Monoma didn’t go bother someone
oh shit
Tumblr media
A WILD TODODEKU MOMENT APPEARS
(ETA: I was so excited about him coming to interrogate Deku that I completely glossed over the fact that this line confirms that Shouto also officially has two quirks. Viz’s translation confirms this (“I didn’t realize you had two quirks, too.”) so Deku and AFO aren’t the only multi-quirk users running about.)
oh shit, again
Tumblr media
gotta say, he’s been getting a lot better at passive-aggressively throwing shade lately. got some good practice in with the recent chats he’s had with his pop
ffffffff Deku is Struggling
Tumblr media
quirk deprivation! that’s right! look it up! it’s totally a thing and he definitely didn’t just make it up right here on the spot!
asdflskj
Tumblr media
oh like you’re one to talk, Mister “It Took Me Ninety-Four Chapters to Put Two and Two Together Even Though Deku All But Told Me Outright Back in Chapter Eleven”
but yes he is super trusting though sob
Deku says that Shouto was amazing too and he’s gotten a lot better at using his flames
but Shouto says he still has a long way to go
ooooooh
Tumblr media
hahaha I’m sure people are going to love this
Tumblr media
“please excuse me for a moment, this is a very important text from my estranged son”
and what the fuck is with that laughter though. does. does he just not know how to laugh. because it honestly wouldn’t surprise me. “oh look, the corners of my mouth are turning upward and there are these strange rapid breaths of air bursting erratically from my chest.” should probably go get that checked out, Endeav
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
ngl I kinda wish this projector screen was more high tech. you sent fucking hologram acceptance letters to every kid in the school for fuck’s sake
also this better mean he’s gonna be in class A! let Aizawa teach him!
oh shit. well we had BakuDeku, KiriTetsu, and TodoDeku so WHY NOT SOME ERASERMIC AS WELL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-- OKAY HOLD THE FUCK UP
what was that?? we have never seen Aizawa react to a topic like that before. Mic barely gets the name out and Aizawa is suddenly all “please shut up fast now”
also, so Mic calls him by his surname, at least in public. what’s up with that?? BUT MY FANFICS lol
well this Shirakumo had better be revealed in the upcoming arc then, and not dragged out for a hundred chapters as these mysteries so often are. well actually, they’re either dragged out for ages or explained not three chapters later lol. rarely a middle ground with this series
MY BABY GIRLLLLLL
Tumblr media
lol that’s right, she had a previous encounter with him and Mirio was not too pleased
Tumblr media
cotton-headed ninny muggins
so does Mirio fucking live at the teacher’s dorms for the time being or does he just commute here every day in order to have Mary Poppins adventures with his baby sis
now Aizawa’s walking up and apologizing for calling Deku and Mirio over
(ETA: which in hindsight confirms that Mirio’s not just there 24/7. aww.)
he says he has a request for Monoma, but he didn’t want to traumatize Eri by having the two of them interact unmediated
oh shit
Tumblr media
he’s got the horn though lol
so is this a fairly common thing with his quirk, then? strange that some of these quirks he’s able to control with ease mere seconds after acquiring them for the first time, but then with others he can’t do anything at all
ah, he’s explaining it now
Tumblr media
so pretty much what I thought. except I wasn’t aware that Eri’s quirk accumulated power too
although wait, that’s probably what the horn is. oh shit, so that means that even though she’s super powerful when she’s all charged up, it takes her months to recharge afterwards. so if she’s not able to decrease the recharge time as she gets older, that’s going to be a really effective limiter for her power then
LMAO
Tumblr media
I legit burst out fucking laughing. you almost exploded. sure dodged a bullet there
if he seriously thought that was a possibility, maybe he could have, idk, fucking warned the guy before their match started that his quirk was off-limits for Monoma’s own safety though
(ETA: I guess it just didn’t occur to him that Monoma might try it, what with them thinking he had a 3-quirk limit and him most likely copying his teammates’ quirks instead.)
and now Mirio’s asking why Aizawa wanted Monoma to try and copy it
Aizawa says that he thought if Monoma copied it, they could get a better idea of how it works so it might be easier to control it if it gets out of hand again. “but I guess it won’t be that easy”
Eriiiii
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(ETA: holy shit is Monoma elbowing Aizawa for making her tear up?)
IT’S NOT A BAD POWER IT IS A VERY GOOD POWER THAT SOME VERY BAD PEOPLE TRIED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
and speaking of, the fact that we’re bringing this up again now makes me hope we’re going to segue to the League sometime soon! because as we all recall, Shigaraki Tomura was last seen some 57 chapters ago taking the Quirk-Be-Gone serum from Overhaul’s very overrated and now nonexistent hands. it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen our antagonist, Horikoshi, and the people are getting restless
(ETA: well, then. lol.)
anyway, so Deku is crouching down and telling Eri her power doesn’t just hurt people, and that she saved him
and he’s comparing it to a knife -- it’s dangerous, but you can also use it to make delicious food lol
and he says he thinks her power is wonderful
awwwwwww
Tumblr media
DO YOUR BEST ERIIIII
and you too, Deku. I believe in you. the journey’s not gonna be easy, but you can do it kiddo
so that’s it for this chapter. but damn, that was a hell of a lot of content packed within just 13 pages, though. this is definitely an insta-fave for me
(ETA: it’s in my top ten for sure. so much good stuff, oh man.)

BnHA Chapter 218: Purse Pilferage and Mouse Murder
Previously on BnHA: Kacchan and Deku sparred in an attempt to draw out Deku’s mysterious new power once again, but to no avail. In a brief flashback, the OFA Scooby Squad (now including Bakugou!) discussed Deku’s recent visions and his multiple quirks. Kacchan pointed out that it was very similar to All for One’s power, which seems to be weighing on Deku’s mind some. That evening at the fanfic dorms, Shouto approached Deku asking if he had been hiding a second quirk. Deku assured him that the new quirk surprised him as much as everyone else, and fibbed that it was probably derived from his original quirk. Meanwhile the U.A. faculty accepted Shinsou into the hero course, and Aizawa acted all weird and cagey about someone from his past named “Shirakumo.” Later, Monoma met with Aizawa, Mirio, Deku, and Eri at the teachers’ dorms and unsuccessfully attempted to copy Eri’s quirk. Eri apologized for being so troublesome, and the others assured her that she wasn’t and Deku told her that even seemingly dangerous quirks can be used for good. It wasn’t lost on him that this applied to his own powers as well, and he resolved to keep working to master OFA.
Today on BnHA: Early one December morn, the kids of 1-A gather in their common room to watch some TV while they wait to hear if Bakugou and Todoroki passed their provisional license retest. The news is reporting on a company called Detnerat which has recently entered the hero equipment business. Their CEO is some Joker-looking dude who’s apparently a big fan of AFO’s old nemesis Destro of Meta Liberation Army fame. Destro’s book has recently been republished and is making the discussion rounds. DetCEO discusses it with his cute lil mouse subordinate Miyashita, but Miyashita isn’t really a fan. This proves unfortunate for Miyashita, as DetCEO is all “that’s too bad, guess I’m just gonna have to snap your neck then.” Like, for real though. Anyway so then DetCEO heads to a secret meeting of like-minded individuals who are apparently Destro’s descendants and are seeking to make his goals a reality. We then segue to a group of purse-snatchers led by someone who I really thought was Shirakumo for a hot minute, ngl. He’s not, though. Anyway so they’re wreaking some havoc and stealing people’s shit -- that is, until two good boys who just earned their provisional licenses after three months of hard work show up to spoil their fun.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my mostly-unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’m caught up with the manga now at chapter 225, so any ETAs will reflect that.)
HOLY SHIT
Tumblr media
BABY WE GOT OURSELVES SOME MOTHERFUCKING SNOW IN THE FANFIC DORMS!!!
holy shit. and it’s the weekend! ARE WE GONNA HAVE SOME ANTICSSSS YES PLEASE I REALLY NEED THIS SO BAD RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Tumblr media
KIRISHIMA WHY ARE YOU TAKING YOUR CLOTHES OFF
I hope they get a ton! I WANT SNOWBALL FIGHTS AND SNOW FORTS AND TODOROKI TO LET IT GOOOOOO LET IT GOOOOOOO
ahh but apparently he and Bakugou are away right now
Tumblr media
wow they even got that class on Sundays now, huh
also, who did Sero borrow the tankoubon from? because more likely than not it was Bakugou since I can’t even picture Shouto reading manga (unless he borrowed some volumes from Deku, maybe). so that means Bakugou is (a) a big ol’ manga-reading nerd who brought his manga to school with him, and (b) sharing with friends. both of which make me so, so happy
(ETA: Viz translated this as “I want to borrow the next volume of this manga from Todoroki,” but as far as I can tell, in the RAW version he doesn’t specify who he borrowed it from. I think Caleb Cook just doesn’t think Bakugou is capable of sharing. give him some credit, Caleb Cook.)
Deku says they should be back around six, and Iida says it’s apparently the last day of their provisional class!
OHMYGOSH. hold up. so that means that their re-test is in like a week, no? holy shit. oh my god I’m so hypppppped ahhhhhh
SDLFKHASLDFKJLK HOLY SHIT
Tumblr media
IT’S TODAY!?!??
Tumblr media
YOU CAN DO IT KIDS I BELIEVE IN YOU. YOU GOT THIS
KACCHAN ARE YOU READY TO OFFICIALLY BECOME KACCHAN THE HERO
(ETA: maybe we’ll actually get Kacchan’s hero name before I grow old. maybe.)
SDFKASLDHK AND LOOK AT THIS SETUP!? AHHHHHH PLEASE DON’T CUT AWAY FROM THIS. OH MY GOD
but snow antics though. oh my god I’m so torn lsdkjlk
anyways of fucking course we cut away, and I don’t really mind because I love cozy 1-A snow day dorm antics also. plus everyone is gossiping about Todo and Baku, and Satou is baking a cake like the Princess Peach he is
Tumblr media
Kami is playfully lamenting the fact that he’s about to lose the one leg-up he had on those two, and flipping on the news
oh shit are we gonna get some Plot
I guess so. what is this
Tumblr media
Detnerat?? is that a portmanteau of something? an acronym? or another Star Wars reference I failed to pick up on??
(ETA: yeah so it’s the word “talented” spelled backwards. except with an r instead of an l.)
so the news is showing some people with mutant quirks, including a four-armed lady, a jello child, and a walrus with a bowler hat
and the narration is talking about how people like this used to be a minority but now “their era arrived”
Tumblr media
interesting. I guess there’s pretty much no such thing as “one size fits all” anymore these days huh. so does that mean there’s been a shift back to custom-made tailored items?
this pointy nose guy is extremely theatrical
Tumblr media
calm down buddy
so he says his company has come all this way while building products that meet the needs of each of their customers individually
this is cool and all but I’m trying to figure out why this new arc is opening with an infomercial
Tumblr media
I’m expecting things all right, but I think it’s a little too early to say if they’ll be great
and now we’re cutting to this guy’s office, where his employee is concluding his presentation. apparently he was showing his boss the finished commercial
and now they’re discussing the thus-far lukewarm reception to their recent announcement
Tumblr media
(ETA: holy shit. famous last words. fuckin’ jinxed it Miyashita.)
are you guys... good guys? bad guys? how is this related to the plot?? a new arc all about stock holdings and market shares. Iida did you write this arc
so pointy nose says that they’ve been doing this on a much larger scale for a long time already, so he’s confident they’ll be successful
oh shit
Tumblr media
it only just occurred to me that he used the word “superpowers” instead of quirks
AND LOOK AT THIS SHIT
Tumblr media
IT’S THAT BOOK. THE ONE THAT WAS PROBABLY WRITTEN BY DESTRO OMG
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
IT WAS DESTRO. CALLED IT WOOP WOOP
Mishiwhatsa says he read the book too but “it’s a load of crap if you ask me”
he says that what the army was doing was nothing but terrorism at the expense of innocent people, and yet Destro “had the gall” to act like he was in the right
hot damn this guy really was Magneto. are we going full-on X-Men in this arc. I want the works. I want fucking sentinels and everything oh god please
oh shit I’m starting to worry about ol’ Mishi here
Tumblr media
MIYASHITA, RUN
OH SHIT
Tumblr media
IS HE GOING TO SNAP HIS FUCKING NECK!?? HOLY SHIT!??
holy fucking shitballs oh christ
Tumblr media
this dude is straight up murdering his best employee, Nezu’s cousin, all because he didn’t agree with his favorite book!?
...
Tumblr media
holy shit
fuck. I’m speechless
okay. okay shit. well. uh. Detnerat, huh
you have my attention, plot
Tumblr media
hooooooooooly shit
Tumblr media
holy shit holy shit holy shit
okay. calm down, self. let’s jot down some thoughts real quick
okay so one, that one shot of that guy with his hand on his hat has a decided Ian McKellen vibe to it. I’m telling you guys. X-Men references all over the damn place in this arc
two, the word “supremacy” was used. meaning this wasn’t just a “quirk rights” group, this was a quirk supremacist group. or is a quirk supremacist group, I should say. these people believe themselves to be the future of humankind. they don’t want liberation, they want control. and assuming we continue to follow the X-Men parallels here, they also believe themselves to be superior to those without superpowers and they’re looking to assert their authority over them
they clearly believe the current laws restricting the usage of quirks are a form of oppression and persecution and are looking to eradicate them
this seems like exactly the type of philosophy the League of Villains would be eager to spread, and I wouldn’t be surprised if another team-up is in the works here
lastly, if these guys are now in the business of making hero equipment, whoever buys from them had better be really careful, as I can easily see some sort of Iron Man 2 plotline going down in which there’s a secret command built into the coding of the new equipment which will sabotage its users once activated. or if you’d rather think of it in Star Wars terms rather than MCU, call it an “order 66” ploy
(ETA: well I partly called this one. still up in the air honestly, who knows.)
also: friendly reminder that Bakugou’s gauntlets were recently destroyed and he’s gonna be needing new ones! (:
so having said all that, let’s see how this pans out!
and right away, the prediction about them teaming up with the League is panning out. waste no time, huh
Tumblr media
so Hooknose is telling him to do so at once
oh shit hold up
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WELL I SURE GOT THAT BACKWARDS NOW DIDN’T I
lol oh shit. I totally forgot that AFO was the one who bombed the Army’s HQ all those decades and possibly centuries ago. I can’t believe these guys still remember that and know how AFO was connected to boot
also, is there a Rorschach thing going on here? I wonder if it’s a reference to the psychologist or to the comic book character from Watchmen. I’m betting the latter given the way they’re using the inkblots as masks, and also because this is a manga based on superhero comics after all
(ETA: yeah, Rorschach, Joker, and Magneto... drawing on a lot of classic villains and anti-heroes in this arc.)
ah so now we’re getting details on their new bid to enter the hero market
Tumblr media
HOLD UP
Tumblr media
WHAT THE FUCK THIS GUY LOOKS AWFULLY FUCKING FAMILIAR
Tumblr media
IS THIS SHIRAKUMO??? AIZAWA WERE YOU NOT CONTENT WITH THE STRIKING SIMILARITY YOU ALREADY BORE TO KAKASHI? HAD TO GO AND ADD THE OLD FRIEND TURNED EVIL BACKSTORY TOO?? OR WHAT
given that this guy seems to have some sort of cloud-based power (look at what he’s riding! and now the people he just harassed and stole from are describing it as “carbonated water”), and kumo means “cloud”...
(ETA: nope, this is just good ol’ Soda Sam. Carbonation Carl.)
okay and now we’re cutting to a conversation between two as-yet-unknown parties that seem to be witnessing this robbery from a distance, and deciding whether or not to intervene
Tumblr media
for a moment I entertained the idea that this might be Kacchan and Shouto with their hot-off-the-presses licenses, possibly talking to All Might? but none of this dialogue seems to have that Kacchan flair, and it also doesn’t make much sense for them to have attended the lesson accompanied by All Might and no one else. Aizawa’s been pretty good about making sure there’s always at least one other fighting pro accompanying them
so now this group of merry bandits is celebrating their new haul
OH SHITTTTTTT
Tumblr media
ODDS OF THIS BEING BAKUGOU AND SHOUTO JUST SHOT WAAAAAAAAAY WAY UP OH MY GOD?!
OH MY GOD IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT?!
Tumblr media
I SHOULD STOP DOUBTING MYSELF AND HORIKOSHI’S PROPENSITY FOR GIVING ME EXACTLY WHAT I WANT ALL OF THE TIME
motherfucker. you just know Kacchan spent that entire cab ride with his nose pressed to the window trying to sense danger and keeping his fingers crossed something like this would happen
(ETA: him and Shouto both, since the dialogue suggests it was Shouto that spotted it first! so basically one of them stationed at each window with All Might sandwiched in between wondering if he’s even going to survive this trip. the answer is yes, All Might, but not without it becoming Eventful.)
also, 30 minutes or 30 seconds, it hardly matters All Might. you know these two spent the last three months anticipating this moment every single minute of every day. they’re gonna go do reckless hero shit, All Might. THEY’RE JUST GONNA
oh my godddddddd
Tumblr media
TodoBaku fighting against Aizawa’s possible friend-turned-villain in the snowwwwww having JUST EARNED THE SHIT OUT OF THEIR NEW LICENSES HELL YEAHHHHHHHHH
and it appears Kacchan does have a gauntlet. goddammit. make that propensity for giving me almost exactly what I want, most of the time
anyways, I don’t really care! life is good. life is fucking amazing, fam
