Analysis of Nine and Wolfram as Main Antagonists Against Class 1-A

This analysis explores a hypothetical scenario where Nine and Wolfram, two prominent villains from the My Hero Academia movie series, join forces to become the primary antagonists targeting U.A. High School’s Class 1-A. It examines potential alliances, the impact on existing factions like the League of Villains (LoV) and the Meta Liberation Army (MLA), and the consequences for the broader narrative, including how Class 1-A and their allies might respond.

Overview of Nine and Wolfram

Nine

Nine, the main antagonist of My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, is a formidable villain with a god-like Weather Manipulation Quirk that allows him to summon destructive storms, tornadoes, and lightning. His body, however, suffers from cellular degeneration due to the Quirk’s intensity, limiting his ability to wield it fully. Through experimentation by Dr. Kyudai Garaki, Nine gains a weaker version of All For One’s Quirk, enabling him to steal and hold up to eight additional Quirks (totaling nine with his original). His stolen Quirks include Air Wall, Scanning, Bullet Laser, Hydra, and Cell Activation, making him a versatile and unpredictable combatant. Nine’s ideology centers on a “might makes right” philosophy, aiming to create a superhuman society where the strong rule over the weak, driven by his past experiences of oppression due to his powerful Quirk.

Wolfram

Wolfram, the main antagonist of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, is a cunning and avaricious villain with a Metal Manipulation Quirk that allows him to reshape and control metallic objects upon physical contact. Enhanced by All For One with a Muscle Augmentation Quirk, Wolfram gains significant physical strength. His tactical intellect and leadership skills are evident in his orchestration of the I-Island heist, where he manipulates David Shield and Samuel Abraham to steal the Quirk Amplification Device, a headset that drastically boosts Quirk power. Wolfram’s motivations are profit-driven, and he exhibits a ruthless, manipulative personality, caring little for others and enjoying taunting his opponents.

Combined Threat

Together, Nine and Wolfram would form a synergistic partnership. Nine’s overwhelming destructive power and versatility, combined with Wolfram’s strategic cunning and battlefield control, would make them a uniquely dangerous duo. Nine’s Weather Manipulation and additional Quirks provide raw power and adaptability, while Wolfram’s Metal Manipulation, enhanced by the Quirk Amplification Device, offers precise control and defensive capabilities. Their differing motivations—Nine’s ideological vision versus Wolfram’s greed—could be reconciled if Wolfram sees profit in Nine’s new world order, potentially through mass-producing Quirk-enhancing technology or exploiting a society ruled by strength.

Potential Alliances and Faction Dynamics

Nine’s Crew

Nine’s existing team—Slice (Kiruka Hasaki), Chimera (Chojuro Kon), and Mummy (Hoyo Makihara)—is a tight-knit group of powerful villains who share his vision of a world where the strong dominate. Their Quirks and roles are:

Slice: Her Quirk allows telekinetic manipulation of her hair, which she can harden into blades, spears, or shields, and fire as projectiles. She is a versatile fighter with both long-range and close-quarters capabilities, fiercely loyal to Nine and emotionally invested in his well-being.

Chimera: His Quirk grants animalistic traits (e.g., wolf-like head, bird-like hands, snake-like tail, fire breath), making him a brute-force powerhouse with super strength and versatility. His past discrimination fuels his alignment with Nine’s ideology.

Mummy: His Mummification Quirk allows him to control objects and people wrapped in his bandages, creating mummy-like constructs from inanimate objects. His ninja-like appearance and loyalty make him a reliable subordinate, though he is less durable in direct combat.

This crew’s loyalty to Nine ensures they would remain integral to the alliance, providing a core group of elite fighters. Their combat prowess, as demonstrated in Heroes Rising, allows them to challenge multiple Class 1-A students simultaneously, making them valuable assets in a larger conflict.

Wolfram’s Crew

Wolfram’s team in Two Heroes includes:

Swordkil: An unnamed villain with a sword-based Quirk, transforming his forearms into blades. He is a close-quarters fighter but lacks depth, easily dispatched by Izuku.

Daigo: Possesses an unnamed Beast Form Quirk, transforming into a gorilla-like monster with enhanced strength. He is an elite mook, capable of facing strong students like Bakugo.

The Hacker: An unnamed villain with no known Quirk, responsible for hacking I-Island’s security systems. His technical expertise is critical for strategic operations but offers little in direct combat.

Nobu: A minor villain with no detailed Quirk, implied to have a close bond with Daigo. His role is minimal, serving as a standard mook.

Wolfram’s crew is less ideologically driven and more mercenary in nature, aligning with his profit-oriented goals. While individually less powerful than Nine’s team, their combat gear and Wolfram’s leadership make them effective in coordinated assaults. The Hacker’s skills could complement Nine’s group by providing technological support, such as disabling U.A.’s security or disrupting hero communications.

Potential Faction Alliances

League of Villains (LoV)

The LoV, led by Tomura Shigaraki and backed by All For One, is a major antagonistic force in My Hero Academia. Given that both Nine and Wolfram have connections to All For One—Nine through his Quirk transplant and Wolfram through his Muscle Augmentation Quirk—it’s plausible that some LoV members might join their cause, especially if Nine’s vision of a strength-based hierarchy aligns with their goals of societal upheaval.

Likely Defectors:

Dabi: His destructive firepower and disdain for hero society could align with Nine’s ideology. Dabi’s personal vendetta against Endeavor might be set aside if Nine offers a path to dismantle the hero system entirely.

Toga: Her fascination with chaos and blood could draw her to Nine’s vision, especially if she sees it as a world where her desires are unchecked. Her combat skills would synergize with Slice’s agility.

Spinner: As someone who faced discrimination for his mutant Quirk, Spinner might resonate with Nine’s and Chimera’s experiences of societal rejection, making him a potential recruit.

Unlikely Defectors:

Tomura Shigaraki: Shigaraki’s loyalty to All For One and his own ambition to destroy everything make him unlikely to subordinate himself to Nine. In Heroes Rising, Shigaraki kills Nine, indicating he views him as a rival or disposable asset. If Nine becomes a main antagonist, Shigaraki might oppose him to maintain his dominance.

Kurogiri: His loyalty to All For One and Shigaraki would likely keep him with the LoV’s core faction.

Mr. Compress: His pragmatic approach might make him hesitant to join a new faction unless it guarantees success.

The LoV could fracture, with some members joining Nine and Wolfram, while Shigaraki’s faction remains independent or antagonistic. The LoV’s resources, such as Nomus, could be split, with Nine potentially gaining access to lower-tier Nomus to bolster his forces.

Meta Liberation Army (MLA)

The MLA, led by Re-Destro, seeks to liberate Quirk usage and establish a society where strength determines status, aligning closely with Nine’s ideology. The MLA’s vast resources, including Detnerat’s technology and a large paramilitary force, would be a significant boon to Nine and Wolfram.

Likelihood of Alliance:

The MLA’s philosophy of Quirk liberation mirrors Nine’s vision of a strength-based hierarchy, making a partnership natural. Re-Destro might see Nine as a figurehead or ally to advance their cause, especially given Nine’s overwhelming power.

Wolfram’s greed could be satisfied by the MLA’s wealth and technological resources, particularly if Detnerat can replicate or improve upon the Quirk Amplification Device.

Key MLA members like Geten, whose ice-based Quirk complements Nine’s Weather Manipulation, could form a devastating combo, creating blizzards or hailstorms. Skeptic’s technological expertise could enhance The Hacker’s capabilities, enabling large-scale cyberattacks.

Potential Conflicts:

Re-Destro’s pride and leadership ambitions might clash with Nine’s vision of himself as the “true ruler.” Wolfram’s manipulative nature could exacerbate tensions, potentially leading to a power struggle.

The MLA’s structured organization contrasts with Wolfram’s mercenary approach, which could create friction unless Wolfram’s crew integrates into the MLA’s hierarchy.

An alliance with the MLA would give Nine and Wolfram a massive army, advanced technology, and ideological legitimacy, making them a global threat. However, internal power dynamics could destabilize the partnership if not carefully managed.

Other Potential Allies

Dr. Kyudai Garaki: As the scientist behind Nine’s Quirk transplant and a key LoV figure, Garaki could be persuaded to join if Nine’s vision aligns with his experiments. His Nomu production could provide additional muscle, though his loyalty to All For One might limit his commitment.

Independent Villains: Villains like Stain, whose ideology of purging “false heroes” partially aligns with Nine’s disdain for the current hero system, might join temporarily Ros as temporary allies. Smaller-time villains or mercenaries could be recruited by Wolfram for profit.

Impact on the League of Villains

If most LoV members join Nine, the LoV would be significantly weakened, potentially reducing it to Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and a few loyalists. This could:

Shift Power Dynamics: Nine’s faction, bolstered by MLA resources and defected LoV members, would eclipse the LoV as the primary villainous force, forcing Shigaraki to adapt or seek new allies, possibly accelerating his alliance with the MLA in the main series timeline.

Reduce Nomu Availability: With Garaki potentially siding with Nine, Shigaraki’s access to Nomus would be limited, hampering his ability to wage large-scale attacks.

Alter Shigaraki’s Strategy: Shigaraki might focus on guerrilla tactics or seek to eliminate Nine as a rival, leading to a villain civil war that could benefit the heroes by dividing their enemies.

The LoV’s influence would wane, but Shigaraki’s cunning and Decay Quirk would keep him a persistent threat, potentially leading to a three-way conflict between Nine/Wolfram’s alliance, the LoV, and the heroes.

Scenario: Nine and Wolfram vs. Class 1-A

Strategic Approach

Nine and Wolfram’s combined forces would likely target U.A. High to dismantle the hero training system and capture powerful Quirks like One For All. Their strategy might include:

Infiltration and Sabotage: Wolfram’s Hacker and MLA’s Skeptic could disable U.A.’s security, allowing a surprise attack. Slice and Mummy could infiltrate stealthily, using their Quirks to restrain or control students and faculty.

Massive Assault: Nine’s Weather Manipulation could isolate U.A. by creating storms to cut off external support, while Wolfram’s Metal Manipulation constructs barriers to trap heroes inside. Chimera and Daigo would lead frontal assaults, leveraging their brute strength.

Quirk Theft and Amplification: Nine’s Scanning Quirk would identify high-value targets (e.g., Izuku, Bakugo, Todoroki), and the Quirk Amplification Device could enhance their stolen Quirks or their own, making them nearly unstoppable in direct combat.

Class 1-A’s Response

Class 1-A, supported by U.A.’s faculty and pro heroes, would need to counter this multifaceted threat:

Teamwork and Strategy: Izuku’s leadership and strategic mind, combined with Momo’s creation abilities, could devise traps or countermeasures. For example, Momo could create insulated materials to counter Nine’s lightning or electromagnetic devices to disrupt Wolfram’s metal control.

Key Matchups:

Izuku and Bakugo vs. Nine: Their One For All-enhanced abilities would be critical to counter Nine’s overwhelming power. Bakugo’s explosions could disrupt Nine’s Air Wall, while Izuku’s speed could exploit Nine’s predictability.

Todoroki vs. Chimera: Todoroki’s ice and fire Quirks could counter Chimera’s animalistic strength, as seen in Heroes Rising when he froze Chimera from the inside.

Tokoyami and Mina vs. Slice: Their teamwork, as demonstrated in Heroes Rising, could exploit Slice’s hair-based weakness by targeting it with Mina’s acid or Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow in low-light conditions.

Iida and Kirishima vs. Daigo: Their speed and durability could match Daigo’s beast form, with Kirishima absorbing hits and Iida outmaneuvering him.

Kaminari vs. Wolfram’s Metal Constructs: Kaminari’s electricity could magnetize or overload Wolfram’s metal, disrupting his control.

Faculty Support: All Might, even weakened, could provide tactical guidance, while Aizawa’s Erasure Quirk could temporarily neutralize Nine or Wolfram’s Quirks, creating openings for students to strike.

External Allies: Pro heroes like Endeavor or Hawks could be called in if communications are restored, countering the MLA’s numbers or Nine’s environmental control.

Outcome

The battle would be intense, with U.A.’s defenses pushed to their limits. Class 1-A’s success would hinge on exploiting the villains’ weaknesses:

Nine’s Health: His cellular degeneration could be exacerbated by prolonged combat, weakening him over time. Students could use hit-and-run tactics to exhaust him.

Wolfram’s Reliance on Technology: Destroying or disabling the Quirk Amplification Device (e.g., through Uraraka’s gravity manipulation or Sero’s tape to remove it) would significantly reduce Wolfram’s threat level.

Teamwork Over Brute Force: Nine’s predictability and Wolfram’s overconfidence could be countered by coordinated attacks, as seen in Heroes Rising when Class 1-A’s combined efforts overwhelmed Nine.

If successful, Class 1-A could defeat or capture the villains, potentially securing the Quirk Amplification Device for hero use or destruction. However, the MLA’s resources and potential LoV interference could prolong the conflict, leading to significant collateral damage and potential Quirk losses among students.

Long-Term Consequences

Hero Society: A victory would bolster Class 1-A’s reputation but expose vulnerabilities in U.A.’s security, prompting reforms. Quirk thefts could weaken the hero roster, necessitating new training methods.

Villain Dynamics: A defeated Nine/Wolfram alliance could lead to Shigaraki capitalizing on their failure to reassert LoV dominance. Alternatively, surviving MLA members might regroup, creating a new threat.

Moral and Ethical Questions: The use of the Quirk Amplification Device or stolen Quirks could raise ethical dilemmas for heroes, potentially leading to a schism in hero society over power enhancement.

Conclusion

Nine and Wolfram as main antagonists would create a high-stakes, multi-faceted conflict for Class 1-A, combining brute force, strategic manipulation, and ideological warfare. Their alliance with the MLA and LoV defectors would make them a near-insurmountable threat, but Class 1-A’s resilience, teamwork, and ingenuity could turn the tide. The fallout would reshape hero society and the villain landscape, setting the stage for new challenges in the My Hero Academia universe.

His power is, in a small sense, similar to Storm from the X-Men and that is really cool and hated how he was created to die.

Overview of Nine as the Main Antagonist

Nine’s Profile

Quirks: Nine possesses the god-like Weather Manipulation Quirk, allowing him to summon destructive storms, tornadoes, and lightning, but it causes cellular degeneration, limiting its use. He also has a weaker version of All For One, enabling him to steal and hold up to eight additional Quirks (totaling nine), including Air Wall, Scanning, Bullet Laser, Hydra, and Cell Activation. These make him a versatile, unpredictable, and immensely powerful combatant.

Ideology: Nine envisions a superhuman society where strength determines hierarchy, rejecting labels like “Hero” and “Villain.” His past oppression due to his powerful Quirk drives his ambition to create a world where the strong rule.

Leadership Style: Nine is a charismatic and strategic leader, as seen with his loyal crew (Slice, Chimera, Mummy). His indomitable will and keen intellect allow him to inspire loyalty and devise complex plans, though his predictability in combat and health issues are weaknesses.

Context from Prior Conversation: Nine’s potential alliance with Wolfram highlighted his ability to synergize with tactical villains. His crew’s loyalty and the possibility of recruiting LoV defectors (e.g., Dabi, Toga, Spinner) and aligning with the MLA suggest he could build a formidable coalition. His conflict with Shigaraki in Heroes Rising (where Shigaraki kills him) indicates tension with the LoV’s leadership.

Scenario Assumptions

Nine replaces Shigaraki as the main antagonist, inheriting his role as the central threat to hero society.

He actively recruits new lackeys to bolster his forces, leveraging his charisma and ideology.

Existing factions react to his rise, either aligning with him, opposing him, or remaining neutral.

The Quirk Amplification Device (from Wolfram’s arc in Two Heroes) is available, potentially enhancing Nine’s and his allies’ powers.

Class 1-A and U.A. High remain the primary heroic opposition, supported by pro heroes.

Nine’s Strategy and Recruitment

Nine’s approach would focus on consolidating power through recruitment, leveraging his ideology to attract like-minded villains, and using his Quirks to dominate or eliminate rivals. His actions would include:

Recruiting Lackeys: Nine would seek powerful, ideologically aligned villains to replace or supplement his core crew (Slice, Chimera, Mummy). Potential recruits include LoV defectors (Dabi, Toga, Spinner), MLA members, and independent villains like Stain or mercenaries drawn to his vision or promised power.

Utilizing Technology: If allied with Wolfram or the MLA’s Detnerat, Nine could mass-produce the Quirk Amplification Device, enhancing his crew’s abilities or offering it as an incentive to recruits.

Targeting U.A.: Nine would likely prioritize attacking U.A. High to dismantle the hero training system and steal powerful Quirks like One For All, using his Weather Manipulation to isolate the school and his Scanning Quirk to identify targets.

Exploiting Weaknesses: His Scanning Quirk would allow him to assess and exploit the weaknesses of both allies and enemies, ensuring strategic dominance.

Reactions and Interactions with Factions

Below, each faction’s reaction to Nine’s rise is analyzed, considering their goals, leadership, and compatibility with Nine’s ideology, as well as whether Nine would align with or oppose them.

1. Shie Hassaikai

Overview: Led by Overhaul (Kai Chisaki), the Shie Hassaikai is a yakuza organization aiming to restore the underworld’s dominance by developing Quirk-destroying and Quirk-enhancing drugs. Overhaul’s Quirk, Overhaul, allows him to disassemble and reassemble matter, making him a dangerous opponent. The group values control and order, contrasting with Nine’s chaotic vision.

Reaction to Nine: The Shie Hassaikai would likely view Nine as a threat to their monopoly on Quirk-altering technology. Overhaul’s meticulous and controlling nature would clash with Nine’s ideological ambition to upend society. Nine’s Quirk-stealing ability and the Quirk Amplification Device would render Overhaul’s drugs obsolete, threatening his business model.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine would see the Shie Hassaikai as a rival faction with incompatible goals. Overhaul’s desire to control rather than empower would conflict with Nine’s strength-based hierarchy. Nine might attempt to steal Overhaul’s Quirk or destroy the Shie Hassaikai to eliminate competition, using his Weather Manipulation to devastate their hideouts.

Outcome: A confrontation would likely favor Nine, given his superior firepower and versatility. Overhaul’s Quirk requires close proximity, which Nine could counter with long-range attacks (e.g., Bullet Laser, Weather Manipulation). The Shie Hassaikai’s Eight Bullets might be recruited by Nine if they defect, particularly Mimic or Chronostasis, whose Quirks could enhance his operations.

2. League of Villains (LoV)

Overview: With Shigaraki sidelined, the LoV is fragmented. Key members include Dabi, Toga, Spinner, Kurogiri, Mr. Compress, and Twice, backed by All For One and Dr. Garaki’s Nomus. The LoV seeks to destroy hero society, aligning partially with Nine’s goals but differing in leadership and methods.

Reaction to Nine: The LoV would be divided:

Defectors: Dabi, Toga, and Spinner, as noted in the prior conversation, might join Nine due to ideological alignment (Dabi’s hatred of heroes, Toga’s love of chaos, Spinner’s experience with discrimination). Twice’s cloning ability could be a major asset, creating duplicates of Nine’s crew or stolen Quirks.

Loyalists: Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and Mr. Compress would likely oppose Nine, viewing him as a usurper. Shigaraki’s killing of Nine in Heroes Rising suggests he sees Nine as a threat to his leadership. All For One’s influence would push Shigaraki to maintain control, potentially leading to a villain civil war.

Nine’s Stance: Mixed (Allies and Enemies). Nine would actively recruit LoV members who align with his vision, offering them power or a role in his new world. He would oppose Shigaraki and loyalists, using his Scanning Quirk to anticipate their moves and his Weather Manipulation to overwhelm them. He might also attempt to steal Shigaraki’s Decay Quirk, though All For One’s original Quirk could complicate this.

Outcome: The LoV’s fragmentation would weaken it significantly. Nine could absorb most of its members, leaving Shigaraki with a small but dangerous faction. A direct confrontation would be costly, with Shigaraki’s Decay posing a threat to Nine’s physical form, but Nine’s range and versatility would likely give him the edge, especially with the Quirk Amplification Device.

3. Humarise

Overview: Introduced in My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, Humarise is a cult led by Flect Turn, believing Quirks are a disease and seeking to eradicate them using Trigger Bombs. Their ideology is diametrically opposed to Nine’s, which celebrates powerful Quirks.

Reaction to Nine: Humarise would see Nine as the ultimate embodiment of their fears—a villain with god-like Quirks threatening global destruction. Flect Turn’s Reflect Quirk, which redirects attacks, would make him a formidable opponent, but Humarise’s focus on mass destruction via bombs contrasts with Nine’s targeted approach.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine would view Humarise as a direct threat to his vision, as their Quirk-eradicating agenda undermines his strength-based hierarchy. He would likely target their Trigger Bomb facilities, using his Weather Manipulation to destroy their infrastructure and his Scanning Quirk to locate their leaders.

Outcome: Nine’s superior combat abilities and Quirk versatility would likely overpower Humarise’s forces. Flect Turn’s Reflect Quirk could counter some attacks, but Nine’s Air Wall and Hydra could restrain him, allowing for a decisive strike. Humarise’s rank-and-file members might be too ideologically rigid to join Nine, making their elimination or subjugation more likely.

4. Meta Liberation Army (MLA)

Overview: The MLA, led by Re-Destro, seeks to liberate Quirk usage and establish a society where strength determines status, aligning closely with Nine’s ideology. Their resources, including Detnerat’s technology and a large paramilitary force, make them a powerful ally. Key members include Re-Destro, Geten, Curious, and Skeptic.

Reaction to Nine: As noted in the prior conversation, the MLA would likely see Nine as a natural ally due to their shared vision. Re-Destro might view Nine as a figurehead or partner to advance their cause, while Geten’s ice Quirk could synergize with Nine’s Weather Manipulation. Skeptic’s technological skills could enhance Nine’s operations, complementing The Hacker from Wolfram’s crew.

Nine’s Stance: Alliance. Nine would embrace the MLA’s support, leveraging their numbers and resources to amplify his influence. He could offer the Quirk Amplification Device to enhance MLA fighters, while Detnerat could mass-produce it. However, Nine’s insistence on being the “true ruler” might create tension with Re-Destro’s leadership ambitions.

Outcome: A Nine-MLA alliance would create a near-unstoppable force, combining Nine’s raw power with the MLA’s army and technology. Class 1-A would struggle against their numbers, requiring external hero support (e.g., Endeavor, Hawks). Internal power struggles could weaken the alliance if Re-Destro and Nine clash, but their shared ideology makes cooperation likely.

5. Dark Might’s Group

Overview: Introduced in My Hero Academia: You’re Next, Dark Might is a villain impersonating All Might, leading a group with a twisted vision of heroism. His Quirk, Fa Jin, mimics All Might’s strength, and his group includes loyal followers like Anna Scervino (with a Quirk negation ability) and others with combat-oriented Quirks. Their goal is to impose a warped hero society, which partially aligns with Nine’s disdain for the current system but differs in execution.

Reaction to Nine: Dark Might’s group might see Nine as a rival or potential ally, depending on whether they view his strength-based hierarchy as compatible with their vision. Dark Might’s ego and desire to emulate All Might could lead to conflict, as he might reject Nine’s claim to supremacy.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine would likely view Dark Might as a pretender, especially given his imitation of All Might, whom Nine targeted in Heroes Rising. Dark Might’s Fa Jin and Anna’s Quirk negation could counter Nine’s abilities, making them a threat. Nine might attempt to steal their Quirks or eliminate them to assert dominance.

Outcome: A battle between Nine and Dark Might would be intense, with Nine’s Weather Manipulation and multiple Quirks giving him an edge over Dark Might’s raw strength. Anna’s Quirk negation could temporarily neutralize Nine, but his Scanning Quirk and tactical allies (e.g., Slice, MLA’s Skeptic) could outmaneuver her. Dark Might’s group would likely be defeated or forced to submit, though some members might defect to Nine if offered power.

6. Creature Rejection Clan (CRC)

Overview: The CRC is a minor faction opposing mutant-type Quirks, driven by prejudice against those with non-human appearances. They lack a central leader in the main series but are a hate group with moderate influence.

Reaction to Nine: The CRC would likely oppose Nine due to his association with Chimera, whose mutant Quirk (animalistic traits) aligns with their targets. Nine’s ideology, which values strength regardless of appearance, would also clash with their discriminatory views.

Nine’s Stance: Opposition. Nine, having faced oppression for his powerful Quirk, would empathize with Chimera’s discrimination and view the CRC as a minor but annoying obstacle. He would likely use his Weather Manipulation to crush their gatherings or steal their Quirks to weaken them.

Outcome: The CRC lacks the power to challenge Nine effectively. His overwhelming abilities and potential MLA support would allow him to dismantle the group swiftly, possibly absorbing any useful Quirks or fighters into his ranks.

Nine’s Overall Strategy with Factions

Allies: Nine would prioritize an alliance with the MLA due to their ideological alignment and resources, integrating their fighters and technology (e.g., Detnerat’s manufacturing, Skeptic’s hacking). He would also recruit LoV defectors like Dabi, Toga, and Spinner, leveraging their combat skills and resentment toward hero society. Dr. Garaki could be persuaded to join if Nine offers a role in his new world, providing Nomus and scientific expertise.

Enemies: Nine would oppose Shigaraki’s LoV loyalists, Humarise, Dark Might’s Group, and the CRC, viewing them as threats to his vision or rival power bases. He would use his Scanning Quirk to identify their weaknesses, deploying Weather Manipulation for large-scale destruction and his stolen Quirks for precision strikes.

Neutral/Opportunistic: Minor villains or mercenaries (e.g., Stain, Wolfram’s crew) could be recruited as temporary allies, especially if Nine offers the Quirk Amplification Device or stolen Quirks as incentives. Wolfram himself might join if promised wealth, though his greed could lead to betrayal.

Impact on Class 1-A and Hero Society

Class 1-A’s Response: Facing Nine’s coalition, Class 1-A would rely on teamwork, strategic planning, and faculty support. Key strategies include:

Izuku and Bakugo: Their One For All-enhanced abilities would counter Nine’s power, with Bakugo’s explosions disrupting Air Wall and Izuku exploiting Nine’s predictability.

Todoroki, Tokoyami, Mina: They would target Nine’s crew, with Todoroki countering Chimera, and Tokoyami/Mina exploiting Slice’s hair-based weakness.

Aizawa: His Erasure Quirk could neutralize Nine temporarily, creating openings for attacks.

Momo, Kaminari, Iida: They would counter technological and physical threats, with Momo creating countermeasures, Kaminari disrupting metal constructs, and Iida outmaneuvering slower opponents.

Pro Hero Support: Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist could counter the MLA’s numbers or Nine’s environmental control, though Quirk thefts could weaken their ranks.

Outcome: Class 1-A’s victory would depend on exhausting Nine’s health, destroying the Quirk Amplification Device, and exploiting factional infighting (e.g., Nine vs. Shigaraki). A prolonged conflict could lead to significant hero losses or Quirk thefts, reshaping hero society.

Long-Term Effects: Nine’s rise would expose U.A.’s vulnerabilities, prompting security reforms. The MLA’s involvement could radicalize public opinion, while LoV fragmentation might give heroes a temporary advantage. Ethical debates over Quirk enhancement (via the Device or stolen Quirks) could divide heroes.

Conclusion

Nine as the main antagonist, replacing Shigaraki, would create a seismic shift in the My Hero Academia universe. His alliance with the MLA and LoV defectors would form a powerful coalition, leveraging his god-like Quirks and ideological appeal. Opposing Shigaraki’s LoV, Humarise, Dark Might’s Group, and the CRC, Nine would dominate through strategic recruitment and overwhelming force. Class 1-A’s resilience and teamwork could counter him, but the cost would be high, potentially reshaping hero society and the villain landscape. Nine’s vision of a strength-based hierarchy would challenge the core principles of heroism, making this a defining conflict for the series.

[mikeellee]

I love how a good number of the LoV joined Nine in this au. This could be a wake up for Shig...or not.

Dr. Evil is watching the girls fighting.

League of Villains Members Likely to Join Nine

The LoV, without Shigaraki as its leader, would likely fracture, with some members drawn to Nine’s charismatic leadership and vision of a world where strength reigns supreme. Below are the LoV members most likely to join Nine, their motivations, and their roles in his organization:

Dabi (Touya Todoroki)

Motivation: Dabi’s hatred for hero society, particularly his vendetta against Endeavor, aligns with Nine’s goal to dismantle the current system. Nine’s ideology of strength-based rule would appeal to Dabi’s desire to see the weak (or “false” heroes) subjugated. The promise of power through Nine’s Quirk Amplification Device (from Wolfram’s arc) or stolen Quirks could further entice him, especially if it enhances his Blueflame Quirk, which is already destructive but limited by his body’s frailty.

Role in Nine’s Group: Dabi would serve as a heavy-hitting combatant, using his fire-based attacks to complement Nine’s Weather Manipulation (e.g., creating firestorms or amplifying heat with Nine’s storms). His strategic mind, seen in his manipulation of Hawks, would make him a valuable lieutenant, potentially rivaling Slice for influence.

Integration: Dabi’s independent streak might cause friction with Nine’s leadership, but his shared disdain for heroes would ensure loyalty, especially if Nine targets Endeavor. His synergy with Chimera’s fire breath could create devastating combo attacks.

Himiko Toga

Motivation: Toga’s fascination with chaos and blood, coupled with her desire for a world where she can express herself freely, aligns with Nine’s vision of a society unbound by hero-villain labels. Her emotional attachment to strong personalities (like Stain or Izuku) suggests she could be drawn to Nine’s charisma and power. The Quirk Amplification Device could enhance her Transform Quirk, allowing her to use stolen blood more effectively.

Role in Nine’s Group: Toga would act as an infiltrator and assassin, using her shapeshifting to gather intelligence or sow chaos within hero ranks. Her agility and close-quarters combat skills would pair well with Slice’s hair-based attacks, forming a deadly duo for stealth operations.

Integration: Toga’s loyalty would depend on Nine’s ability to indulge her chaotic tendencies. Her emotional volatility could be managed by Slice, who has a softer side, fostering a bond similar to Toga’s relationships in the LoV.

Spinner (Shuichi Iguchi)

Motivation: Spinner’s history of discrimination due to his mutant Gecko Quirk resonates with Nine’s and Chimera’s experiences of societal rejection. As noted in prior discussions, Spinner and Chimera could bond over their shared struggles, making Spinner a natural fit for Nine’s group. Nine’s vision of a strength-based hierarchy would appeal to Spinner’s desire for a world where mutants are respected for their power.

Role in Nine’s Group: Spinner would serve as a versatile fighter, using his agility and swordsmanship to support Chimera in frontal assaults. His loyalty to a cause (seen with Stain and Shigaraki) would make him a dedicated foot soldier, potentially leading mutant recruits from the CRC or other groups.

Integration: Spinner’s admiration for strong leaders would make him loyal to Nine, especially if Nine validates his worth. His bond with Chimera could strengthen Nine’s crew, creating a cohesive mutant faction within the group.

Twice (Jin Bubaigawara)

Motivation: Twice’s Double Quirk, which allows him to create clones, would be highly valuable to Nine, who could use clones to amplify his forces or test stolen Quirks. Twice’s loyalty to those who accept him (e.g., Toga, Hawks) suggests he would join Nine if offered camaraderie and a sense of purpose. His mental instability could be stabilized by Nine’s charismatic leadership and the promise of a world where his Quirk is celebrated.

Role in Nine’s Group: Twice would be a force multiplier, creating clones of Nine’s crew (e.g., Slice, Chimera, Mummy) or himself to overwhelm enemies. His clones could also serve as decoys, distracting heroes while Nine uses his Scanning Quirk to target key opponents.

Integration: Twice’s emotional need for acceptance would be met by Nine’s inclusive ideology, especially if paired with Toga. His clones could synergize with Mummy’s mummification, creating armies of controlled constructs.

League of Villains Members Unlikely to Join Nine

Some LoV members would likely remain loyal to Shigaraki or All For One, opposing Nine due to personal loyalty, conflicting ambitions, or ideological differences:

Tomura Shigaraki

Reason for Opposition: Shigaraki’s ambition to destroy everything and his loyalty to All For One make him a direct rival to Nine. As seen in Heroes Rising, Shigaraki kills Nine, viewing him as a threat or disposable asset. His Decay Quirk and leadership role would prevent him from subordinating himself to Nine, especially if Nine claims to be the “true ruler.”

Impact: Shigaraki would lead a splinter faction of the LoV, potentially including Kurogiri and Mr. Compress, to oppose Nine. This could lead to a villain civil war, weakening both groups but complicating Class 1-A’s efforts to defeat them.

Kurogiri

Reason for Opposition: Kurogiri’s loyalty to All For One and Shigaraki, stemming from his Nomu programming, makes him unlikely to defect. His Warp Gate Quirk is critical to the LoV’s mobility, and he would prioritize maintaining Shigaraki’s leadership over joining Nine.

Impact: Kurogiri’s teleportation would enable Shigaraki’s faction to launch guerrilla attacks against Nine, disrupting his plans. Nine might attempt to steal Kurogiri’s Quirk, but its complexity could challenge his All For One duplicate.

Mr. Compress (Atsuhiro Sako)

Reason for Opposition: Mr. Compress’s pragmatic and theatrical nature ties him to the LoV’s original vision under Shigaraki. His Compress Quirk is versatile, but his loyalty to the group’s camaraderie and Shigaraki’s leadership would likely keep him from joining Nine unless offered significant incentives.

Impact: Mr. Compress could act as a strategist for Shigaraki’s faction, using his Quirk to trap Nine’s allies or steal the Quirk Amplification Device. His defection to Nine is possible but unlikely without a clear power advantage.

Integration with Nine’s Existing Crew and Other Factions

Nine’s Core Crew (Slice, Chimera, Mummy):

Slice: Her loyalty to Nine and caregiving role would make her a stabilizing force for new recruits like Toga, with whom she could form a sisterly bond. Her hair-based Quirk complements Toga’s stealth and Dabi’s ranged attacks.

Chimera: His animalistic Quirk and shared discrimination with Spinner would create a strong partnership, potentially leading a mutant-focused subunit. His brute strength pairs well with Dabi’s firepower.

Mummy: His Mummification Quirk could control Twice’s clones or captured heroes, enhancing Nine’s battlefield control. His ninja-like style would synergize with Toga’s infiltration tactics.

Meta Liberation Army (MLA):

As previously discussed, the MLA’s ideology aligns closely with Nine’s, making them a primary ally. Members like Geten (ice Quirk), Skeptic (technological expertise), and Trumpet (propaganda via Voice Quirk) would join Nine, with Geten’s ice enhancing Nine’s Weather Manipulation (e.g., blizzards). Skeptic could work with Wolfram’s Hacker (if recruited) to disable hero communications, while Trumpet’s affability (noted in prior discussions) could rally recruits.

Wolfram’s Crew:

Wolfram, as a potential ally, would bring his Metal Manipulation and Muscle Augmentation Quirks, along with the Quirk Amplification Device. His crew (Swordkil, Daigo, The Hacker, Nobu) could join Nine, with The Hacker supporting Skeptic and Daigo complementing Chimera’s brute force. Wolfram’s greed might lead to tension, but Nine could appease him with promises of wealth or power, as suggested in prior conversations about his power-hungry nature.

Other Factions:

Shie Hassaikai: Unlikely to join due to Overhaul’s conflicting goals, but defectors like Kendo Rappa (noted in prior discussions) might be recruited for their combat prowess, aligning with Nine’s strength focus.

Humarise: Opposed due to their anti-Quirk ideology, but Nine could steal Flect Turn’s Reflect Quirk for defensive purposes.

Dark Might’s Group: Unlikely allies due to Dark Might’s ego, but Anna Scervino’s Quirk negation could be stolen to counter heroes like Aizawa.

Creature Rejection Clan (CRC): Opposed due to their anti-mutant stance, but Nine could recruit mutant members disillusioned with the CRC, leveraging Spinner and Chimera’s influence.

Strategic Implications and Class 1-A’s Response

Nine’s Strategy: With Dabi, Toga, Spinner, and Twice, Nine’s group gains firepower, stealth, loyalty, and numbers. He would use the MLA’s resources and Wolfram’s technology to launch large-scale attacks on U.A., aiming to steal One For All and dismantle hero society. His Weather Manipulation and amplified Quirks would isolate targets, while Scanning identifies key threats like Izuku and Bakugo.

Class 1-A’s Counter:

Izuku and Bakugo: Their One For All-enhanced abilities would target Nine, with Bakugo disrupting Air Wall and Izuku exploiting Nine’s health issues.

Todoroki and Kirishima: Could counter Dabi and Chimera, using ice to douse flames and durability to withstand brute force.

Tokoyami and Mina: Effective against Slice and Toga, exploiting hair-based weaknesses and stealth tactics.

Aizawa: His Erasure Quirk could neutralize Nine or Dabi temporarily, creating openings.

Momo and Kaminari: Would counter technological threats (e.g., Skeptic, The Hacker) with creations and electricity.

Outcome: Class 1-A’s teamwork could exploit Nine’s predictability and health issues, but the MLA’s numbers and Twice’s clones would make the battle grueling. Shigaraki’s splinter faction could inadvertently aid heroes by attacking Nine, creating a three-way conflict.

Conclusion

Dabi, Toga, Spinner, and Twice are the most likely LoV members to join Nine, drawn by his ideology, power, and charisma. Their integration with Nine’s crew and the MLA would create a formidable coalition, enhanced by Wolfram’s technology. Opposing Shigaraki’s loyalists, Humarise, Dark Might, and the CRC, Nine would dominate through strategic recruitment and overwhelming force. Class 1-A’s resilience would be tested, but their teamwork and Shigaraki’s interference could tip the scales, reshaping the My Hero Academia universe in this alternate scenario.

A bunch of fanarts for @scary-grace's "Love like Ghosts" fanfic ❤️

This got me on chokehold ngl

just a cute little fact but august 1st is also designated as the universal birthday for shelter dogs whose actual birthdays are unknown

i think what bothers me about a lot of "girl power" narratives is that they function on the implicit idea on the idea that women can become worthy of respect. and i happen to think that really caring about women means believing they already are worthy of respect. that historical seamstresses and soccer moms and forgotten sisters and sweet polite little girls and someone's weird grandma matter just as much as the warriors and politicians, even if they, personally, never accomplish anything "cool."

[mikeellee]

I can't stop laugh at how SS and NH were so triggered by this post for speaking the truth,

that they tried to argue back with the most braindead arguments to ever exist LIKE...

Exhibit A:

Coming for shikatema itself is crazy and saying they had zero romantic interaction in canon is lying. I don't even ship shikatema that much, but I can see the build up from Chuunin exam arc and one thing they had is DEVELOPMENT. Sure, Temari is not pathetic lovesick stalker that can only gushing over her crush, unlike Sakura or Hinata.

But Temari had the most important things that neither Sakura or Hinata got from their supposed love interest is: mutual respect, attention, and attraction.

Saying "NH and SS had build up from day one" is a big fat delusion too, BUILD UP and all they had from the beginning is ONESIDED OBSESSION that was ignored and rejected by the boys lol, that was build up for ya? 🤣

Saying kishi teased it is funny too, most of the time he plainly MOCKED them, he kept talking about them in negative light instead of in supporting tone.

Why do you think he made both of men as deadbeats that barely home, one which did not even exist in his family's life for a decade; and one who prefer stayed in his office, sleep there or in different bedroom than his wife, and sending clone to his family.

Kishimoto did not give a shit at all ✌

Exhibit B

This one got me laugh for five minutes straight, thank you for the laugh.

"Everyone knows their love is pure" Yeah its just you and your minions, because there are more people asking how the hell they end up together, and you need whole ass garbage movie where the character of Naruto got butchered to elevate your Hinata 🥳

"Pure love and naruto has been interested in her from the beginning, unlike other girls" Oh but he did thought of her as world class weirdo and flat out ignored her confession throughout 700 chapter of manga, they need to killed fan favorite to remind Naruto that Hinata exist, which he kind of ignored again :) That was interest from the beginning and pure love to you?

I'm not even going to talk more about that garbage movie but stop lying about attractions from Naruto's side because it's embarrassing how he kept ignored her, the fact he did not give response to her confession SAYS A LOT. She was never in his radar from the beginning.

I applaud the effort making the dramatization edit of whatever is that in the picture since some of of them are just plain Naruto get worried for everyone else or just for her as human being. But what can I say, you only had 40 panels, of course you had to cherrypicking and twist everything.

Exhibit C

Girl, there is no way you said this with your whole chest in public 😭😭😭 everyone and their mama mocked your fav ship everyday and everywhere too, must be nice to live in delusion since apparently you are so proud with your stupidity.

Only when hell freeze you could say SS and turned out well in the same sentence. I don't even have to point out how suck your beloved SS, since everyone got the point already. A decade later you all kept grasping at straws seeking validation and picking a fight everywhere because how undercooked your ship is.

That echo chamber must be so damn thick if this person is so out of touch from reality, but keep going, this level of stupidity is kind of amusing 😭

There are a lot of more people screaming and crying with similar response lol, all because they could not accept SS or NH generally disliked by people lol.

No offense to saiino or choujikarui ships, they were coming from nowhere too but at least they were shown as having functional marriage and family, good for them I guess. The same can not be said for you-know-who 🤪

mh fans keep boosting their ship with the help of sns and sasuke's fame and I find it so funny because nothing they say is true

"both are so similar" and they will only talk about Hinata the last because it is a modification to make her fit with Naruto

In the manga Hinata has violet hair, gray colors, big eyes and a round face, Sasuke has black hair, sharp eyes, sharp face and contains feminine characteristics

Sometimes Kishimoto gives Sasuke blue tones in his hair, but Sasuke's hair is naturally black

"both have powerful eyes" and only one knows how to use it, well, I could rule it out here because Hinata is just a tracker but when she has to use her byakugan for a battle, She always ends up on the ground, compare that to Sasuke who continually modifies his Sharingan and constantly uses his eyes in battles

"both are so pretty, they are the only pretty ones in the manga!! " and only sasuke is recognized for his beauty, hnt fans will only be able to see scenes from the novels, but we all know that the novels are not canon

Just look at the comparison with flattery lol, Sasuke is recognized in the manga for his appearance, his beauty, the author himself can see it and talk about how he always needs to make him beautiful,Hinata in the manga is only described as dull, soft, weird, shy in appearance.

"same color palette!! " And it's just a picture of Sasuke wearing violet and that's it, considering that Sasuke constantly changes clothes, while Hinata only has two changes I don't think Kishimoto wants to make them the same

Comparing Sasuke's character to Hinata should be considered a joke, just look at the battle scenes, the scene entrances, Hinata can only talk about her selfish love and then fall to the ground, In war it is repeatedly shot down and saved

When we talk about Naruto's relationship, which is what they most want you to believe that they are the same, it is too funny

Sasuke is Naruto's priority, he is the person who accepted him the most when he was hated, the first person to feed him when it was forbidden, Sasuke is his idol and rival, his one and only, in the manga he never stopped thinking about him for a single second, he never gave up on Sasuke because Sasuke didn't give up on him, It is the couple that has the recognition of Kishimoto himself, the author, they are so complementary that Kishimoto cannot think of one of them without thinking of the other, both grow as characters to reach out to each other and understand each other

Naruhina is no match for them, Naruto continued to grow as a character while Hinata just remained stuck as a character who does nothing and when she does, she causes disasters, stays halfway and never by Naruto's side.

Naruto stays out of habit but then leaves and doesn't want to see his wife, In his youth he still treated her as a friend until they began to belittle him, insult him and fill him with guilt, None of them know each other, Hinata can't even talk about Naruto's childhood with her son because she has no idea who Naruto Uzumaki is, Naruto has to think about Sasuke even if Hinata has something special to give him

Kishimoto can't be the source of them when he literally hates nh and hnt LMAOO 😭

He doesn't understand why anyone would like the character, the kiss nh bothers him and I don't participate in that movie, He talks about how Naruto is just a trophy for Hinata because she felt sorry because he never made Naruto notice her

and how to do it? Hinata has nothing that Naruto likes, she is submissive, shy and never responds to further aggression, while sasuke is serious, self-sufficient, proud, He is determined, emotional, intelligent and most importantly, he is not a submissive doormat, he responds to Naruto

these people are the ones who then get angry and make fun of skr fans for comparing Sakura to Kushina or saying that Sasuke is bisexual because he loves Naruto and Sakura

However, they do the same thing and spread false words so that people believe their thoughts

This movie was fantastic, man....

[mikeellee]

Once again, I find Izuku fascinating bc he is the good victim and is reward by getting nothing. He is the proof how victims are to be used to make the abuser be better or seem a big deal.

And its another thing is paralleling with Shig. "Shiga never flinched" true, as far memory serves me, but he had an abuser breathing down his neck.

He had Satan.

Izuku had a down grade Satan of his own.

I didn't notice until now that Izuku is actually shaking here. At first I thought the lines were supposed to indicate the movement of him vacuuming, but they're not.

The motion goes out from his shoulder rather than his elbow which makes little sense for someone moving a vacuum. He and Katsuki spend the entire scene cleaning the carpet, but the shaky lines are only in the panel at the climax of the uncomfortably stretching silence after Izuku's "What'd you think of it..."

Izuku isn't even wrong worrying that, without All Might's deus ex machina intervention, their situation might escalate again. Katsuki is gritting his teeth like he needs to stop himself from flinging back the usual verbal abuse.

And his resolve doesn't last longer than a few days.* While the lesson of "Win to save, save to win" and the accompanying cracks in his worldview stick, his treatment of Izuku reverts back to almost normal by the time the joint training arc rolls around - like seriously, compare this scene and their interactions afterwards, it's a world difference.

Contrary to much of the fandom's rose-tinted view of the dvk2 aftermath, Katsuki doesn't magically become a different person. He has to put tangible effort into not treating his favourite hero's legacy like dirt and Izuku knows.

Have you ever thought of what Marcille thinks of the toudencest?

She think it's hot. She feels very guilty about it tho. We know that marcille is a bookworm and that incest is a staple in classic literature so it'd be funny if marcille was really into fictional sibcest and the whole forbidden romance and co-dependency of it. Except that laios and falin are real people in-universe so she feels very conflicted about it, at least at the start. The one time she caught them doing it, her brain freeze from sheer shock and horniness "this is so hot... Wait those are real people, those are my two best friends this is so wrong" and she pass out. The siblings are very worried and escorts them to the bed. Marcille, surrounded by two hot siblings that she just saw fucking is not calming down. But after her brain sort shits out and a good talk with the siblings, they arrange some threesome sessions for her to sort out her feelings. The tousibs love marcille and are more than happy to welcome her into their sexual activities.
