#as if a quirk would make a hero

It's so insulting that the IronSuit "Shoto" is everything Endeavor wanted and real Shoto had a whole arc fighting against...
(Being reduced to a quirk, to his left side, to his fire). To be thrown away like a broken lighter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like, I'm sure it's unintended, but it's funny how tone-deaf the whole Class-A gimmick is. It's a plain testament that they are not "inspirations", but just disposable pieces.
It's a fucking mockery of their character arcs.

the idea of ua teacher bakugou honestly makes me so sad, because you have to consider the possibility of him not making it to the end as a hero which !! is heart-breaking !!
but at the same time — there is something really cathartic i think about him growing up and growing out of measuring his worth by being number one, by being the best. and i like to think of him as a grumpy professor !! a bit like aizawa !! or him keeping a close eye on the shy, quiet students, watching out for them and always there to bully them (affectionate) along their path . or for him to be an all might to someone, a young kid that looked up to dynamight in his hay-day, now getting to follow directly under his lead.

Ghost King Danny AU where he meets the past OFA holders in the ghost zone and gets to know them personally, they're the ones that ask him to go to the future to help with some long awaited fight, to ensure that another person didn't die by AFOs hands. Clockwork reluctantly agrees and that's why he is there.

Anyway I wrote about this in my fanfic notes but I think this is credible
En. He's a One For All user, young, and dies from being cut in half by All For One. He cries, but manages to pass on One For All to Nana with a smile, and hides Nana with his Quirk so she can escape.
So En. Sixth. This cutie patootie guy right here
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's been viewed as cool and collected and I'm gonna call a bit of bullshit on that.
First: he is young. He doesn't have the fullest emotional maturity (brain caps out in the mid-20s), and even if he did, he can still freak out. But that's not what I wanna talk about with him
It's more the time period in which he was born and grew up.
Kudo and Bruce, at the least, die 18 years before En receives One For All. En was born during All For One's rule, and grew up in a society struggling to cope with the new Abilities on top of Japan's crumble.
En was born at an anxious time, and grew up in the flames of it as society tried collecting itself. Since he was born while people were just barely adjusting to Abilities, and were flighty and shellshocked from the events, En was the same: used to Abilities, but quick to jump and flee. He was raised in a world like that, and thus was like the others of his time.
Look at En at his death. His Smokescreen is active. He died with his back turned. He was running away and using his Smokescreen as cover.
Tumblr media
He later asks, fearful and stressed, why Midoriya/Ninth doesn't just run away. And Tomura calls him out on this. We'll go back to this later.
En is a product of the time he grew up—a time of trying to pick themselves up in the midst of civil war, shifting humanity, where no one trusted anyone and everyone ran to save themselves.
His Quirk is literally Smokescreen. There's no application to it beyond making smoke from the user's body to hide in. It obscures others' visions.
His Quirk hides him from others. That's its main function. He isn't as brave as the others. He's a coward when pushed into a corner. Nana describes his last smile in ch. 92 as this:
Tumblr media
But All Might, who does this smile, describes it in ch. 1 as—
Tumblr media
—tricking the fear inside of him. En is a combination of both; he smiled to reassure Nana, but was no doubt terrified, as he died running and got cut in half.
Tumblr media
I imagine the reason En was the first One For All user shown passing off the Quirk with his hair was because he was too afraid to reach down and feel himself cut in half. He could've gotten the blood from there, but the cognitive dissonance alone of feeling air where your lower-half should be is terrifying as is.
By hiding her in his Smokescreen and giving his hair, En let Nana run away too, to safeguard herself and the Quirk. En ran, he made Nana run, and later on, he wants Midoriya/Ninth to run, even knowing there's no next user or chance to beat All For One/Tomura.
En knows All For One is powerful. He's scary. He killed Banjo-senpai, and Shinomori-san hid from him until he died of "old age". Everything is mustered in Midoriya/Ninth, but even then, En wants to run away because they realize they can be stolen and really die.
Now, going back a bit to [His Quirk is literally Smokescreen], they would've started calling Meta Abilities Quirks around the time En is growing up. All Might is alive somewhere when Nana receives One For All, and Meta Ability is the first term for Quirks.
Since Quirks are reflective of personality, and En was born in the coming down of the peak of fear that's trying to create some semblance of normalcy, it makes sense that, with his Smokescreen, he encourages Midoriya/Ninth to run. Because he did the same thing.
That's how he grew up, that's what he knows, it's the first thing he thought of when he realized they really were in danger. They were facing death in the eye.
Tumblr media
Tomura/AFO even calls him out for this. Look at En's face when he's called out; he's scared of him. En is scared of just catching his attention.
The OFA vestiges know they can see into each others' realms. They wouldn't be surprised by this. They look into AFO's, they know AFO can do the same vice-versa.
Tomura is basically saying he's about to catch all the vestiges (rats) by their tails to make sure no one gets away this time.
Tumblr media
Even if En was a vigilante or Pro Hero when he was alive (he's Banjo's kouhai, and Banjo was one of those), he has a faint heart when he feels cornered and running is an option, no matter how bad.
En acts calm and rational, and entered into the Vigilante/Pro Hero scene, but he is terrified when it comes down to it.
Like Kudo and Bruce with the Resistance, Shinomori with society's state then, and Banjo stepping up when Japan was "a lawless land", En is a product of the era he grew up; trying to find stability in a lawless land, where it was everyone for themselves.

Lex "Let's grow a clone child to defeat the world's strongest hero Superman" Luthor is giving me the same energy as Endeavor aka "My greatest masterpiece will defeat No. 1 hero All Might".

Sigh.
I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna say it again.
1. I warn you against taking the story beats in MHA at face value. Just because something looks one way doesn’t mean Horikoshi won’t make it go a different direction later. He only puts like one or two major story beats per chapter. Don’t be fooled by them.
2. Just because Hawks lost his quirk doesn’t mean he’s done. If you think this, you’re guilty of the exact thing the moral of MHA warns you against: equating a person’s worth to their quirk. Why’re some of y’all agreeing with AFO on this? We literally got a flashback to chapter 1 where this perspective was explicitly debunked!
3. Heroes are heroes BECAUSE they make sacrifices for others. I guarantee that by the end of this, many characters will suffer permanent consequences not as a result of being heroes but because definitionally making these sacrifices is what makes them heroes in the first place. And yet I predict a significant, noisy portion of this “fandom” is gonna cry about how someone losing their quirk or becoming disabled or dying ruins everything because some of these characters can no longer be “pro heroes”--as if the story hasn’t been telling us all along that “pro heroes” aren’t necessarily real heroes. Anybody can be a hero, regardless of their quirk. That isn’t referring to PRO heroes but TRUE heroes. Some of y’all need to listen to Stain more closely.

Blurst idea. Manman given one for all. After he stops spontaniously breaking every bone in his body would he do well?
Initially I was going to say no, but since Manman's weekly beat downs are NOT the product of him being self-destructive but actually his terrible luck...
I'd say yes. He'd be a great hero!

The other night, for some incomprehensible reason, I dreamed Bakugou and Shigaraki’s moms started dating while their kids were little
I haven’t watched or read MHA in years and only occasionally browse the tags out of curiosity, but I get the vague impression that certain events from the last couple chapters would make this scenario a bit awkward

I'm not touching bnha canon with a ten foot pole, but I feel like this is a prime time for a fic self plug. Friendly reminder that two years ago I wrote an AU where the next little stray the HPSC would prey on if they ever lost control of Hawks would 100% have been Shinsou

Me getting sucked into BNHA is so bad because now I have ideas for them. I know that this kind of thing isn’t new but I have some ideas for their quirk (also I haven’t gotten catch up the series quite a bit so if anyone’s quirk falls a scary resemblance or is a reputation of an existing BNHA character’s quirk, please lemme know!)
— Shion’s quirk I think would be memory manipulation because I think about his memorization skills; but also I think he likes to tailor his skill in like a flower/nature theme like ‘Wither’ —> to temporary block a memory. I think that Shion’s skill can only temporary block, erase, or clears the memory, not exactly changing what’s in someone’s life. When he trains his quirk, Shion would tried to read thousands of books and tried to manipulate his own or someone’s mind with hefty about of information inside, which could cause painful headaches. This is a useful skill to hack into enemy’s strategic plan or to remember small details that can be helpful with planning and rescuing. The downside could be either (or both!) give Shion a massive headache or can erase some of Shion’s own memory, depending on his usage (i.e if he were to help a memory to be clear, then his own memories would be cleared as well)
Nezumi’s quirk allows him to turn any of his body parts to become sword like; a reference to his excellence in using sharp objects. For instance, when his hands are morphed into a sword, he can branch off into multiple swords, like a tree with multiple branches. His skills are based on old literature titles or maybe a scene like some ball room dancing. When he trains his skills, Nezumi wants to sharpen his morphed swords and have more mobility to shift his body. This is a very useful skill in melee combat where Nezumi can morph any parts of his body to a sword as he likes, best for any surprise attacks. The downside of the quirk is that his body doesn’t have too much movement when the swords morphed can stiffen his body, so Nezumi is not as agile when he has his swords! Also, broken bones are more severe especially if Nezumi used his quirk too much, swords are more brittle than bones.
I wanna do Safu and Inukashi’s too if I have time!
UPDATE: I DID IT!!!

coming out of my baldurs gate 3 delirium (aka i am working a night shift and can't physically play it. at work.) to say that horikoshi. horikoshi when i GET YOU. you are NOT leaving izuku with no quirk and no arms. i am in your walls
#bnha spoilers#also. more evidence that horikoshi read zero-sum game#like come on the twins thing the izuku losing his quirk thing the losing his arm thing the shiggy getting decay from afo thing#TELL ME THE TRUTH HORIKOSHI. DID YOU READ MY FANFIC.#i'm joking of course. he's just done a really good job of foreshadowing through the series. its a marker of an amazing author#and i know that izuku probably won't lose both his arms and his quirk. i fully expect it to be a happy ending in some way shape or form#this is a sixteen year old boy who sacrificed EVERYTHING. more than he ever had to give#and he had less than a year. LESS THAN A YEAR.#sorry i'm already crying thinking about the scene of him holding shigaraki's hand even though it will decay him........#izuku who knows better than ANYONE what shigaraki's power can do.... reaching out to him. caring more about others than about himself.#he's just. he's so good. he's SO GOOD. he deserves the world#tbh i feel like eri HAS to be involved at this point. she's the deus ex machina in all this#that or overhaul#both of their abilities can at least physically restructure izuku's body#it would actually be a very interesting redemption point for overhaul.......#i mean WHY ELSE RESCUE HIM. and why give him THE SAME FUCKING INJURY#what a powerful thing it would be to have eri give overhaul his arms back#and overhaul learning about goodness and forgiveness from this girl he's done nothing but abuse and torture#and saves izuku........#its about ATONEMENT. its about GROWTH. its about IT NEVER BEING TOO LATE.#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU MY HERO ACADEMIA#... ok. i'm normal. its fine.#on another note#i loved the ending to my first bg3 run which i think i finished Tuesday/Wednesday. i cried.#IMMEDIATELY started a durge run where i'm playing a male human bard instead of the female half-wood elf ranger#i was like 'haha. i'll make a character based on hisoka from hxh! i'm gonna be SOOOO evil! >:))#and guess who still isn't good at being big evil. ME. at worst i'm probably chaotic neutral.#its wild i'm already finding SO MANY new scenes i missed on the first playthrough even though i'm making a lot of the same choices#so it still feels super fun and fresh. more so now because i kind of know the characters and the mechanics better#my current playthrough i'm with lae'zel shadowheart and asterion with no intention of switching out

oh man. so we're finally getting an expansion of the quirk prejudice? i think the full chapter needs to be released before i go in depth but i will say on a personal level im pretty happy to see it.
i will also say, i don't think hori is really trying to make a real world narrative about discrimination through this. while bnha has always to some extent been about quirk discrimination - this type of specific story doesn't seem appropriate or in line with the direction of the manga. this chapter is meant to be a story device that specifically touches on in universe issues.
it's about story-building much in the same way shinso has a villainous quirk or deku being quirkless is. i think people expecting like.. an indepth depiction of real-world issues are a bit delulu in this sense (everyone on twt..)
but it's a part of the bnha universe that i've very personally wanted expanded upon so i think this chapter accomplishes that. mostly im excited that we're actual getting an entire few chapters dedicated to the issue and to the story and im very very excited to see shouji!!!!!!
it's a bit mind-boggling that so many people found these leaks boring? im always delighted by chapters that expand story-building elements and appearance-based quirk prejudice has been something that i've found very interesting since it's appeared in bits and pieces for so much of the story.
either way i thought the chapter was very engaging !!!!! and it made me excited in a meta way!!!
