hello is there anyone in 1b or 1a you gave siblings that either dont have siblings in canon or its canonically unknown if they have siblings? & is there any students don't live with their biological parents?

Hello!

-

I have, actually! Eijirou had a cousin, Hanta has a little sister, Rikidou has an older brother, Kyouka has a cousin too.

In 1-B, Yui is a middle child with an older sister and a younger brother, Itsuka has a cousin, and Sen has a little sister.

At the moment, nobody really lives with their parents, due to U.A. being a boarding school. Before that, nobody lives apart from their parents, apart from Shouji and Fumikage, both of whom are adopted.

These family members won't be super important, and likely will only appear when the entire families do, but they will be referenced by these characters, linking them to motivations and backstories and such.

Thanks for the ask!

hi! is there anyone in 1a or 1b that participates in any Japanese/alternative subcultures like gyaru, lolita, goth, scene, etc etc

Hello!

-

There aren't many students who are part of different subcultures, and that's mostly because I'm not confident in writing that kind of stuff. It doesn't particularly interest me, so I can't bring myself to research it thoroughly. That being said, there are a few who dabble in that kind of stuff, specifically with the fashion cultures.

Mina is really into Gyaru fashion, though she can't exactly pull it off as it's usually seen due to both her skin and hair colour. She mostly likes it due to how eccentric it can be, as she relates to that, rather than the Americanism.

Shouto is a weird mix in that he likes Kireime Kei fashion, and the most outlandish Visual Kei. One day, he's wearing a timeless, simple, preppy outfit. The next, he's wearing the most emo, gothic outfit fit with all the spikes and tears. Mostly because Endeavour hates it and he enjoys it.

Momo once dabbled in Gyaru, but eventually gained more of taste towards Kireime Kei due to its more professional and classy vibe. The only real reason she was interested in Gyaru is because she felt restricted in her environment and saw Gyaru as rebellious.

Kyouka likes Rockabily. I mean, that's a bit obvious, but yeah. She likes the punk-rock and the joviality of those who partake in it speaks out to her, and it's one of the most expressive subcultures, which kind of conflict her deadpan nature, but helps it all the while.

Pony adores Lolita, specifically the girly, cute genre of it. It's one of the most well-known subcultures, especially in America, and she loves it. Her blonde hair and blue eyes suit it well and she will wear all the frills. She also likes acting cute.

Yui likes the Mori Gal fashion style, and it works. The more natural aesthetic and muted colour palletes fit both her behaviour and appearance.

Thanks for the ask, and I hope this wasn't disappointing!

when it comes to charactization of izuku in your rewrite have you decided to take any charactization from protype!izuku/Akatani Mikumo?

Hello!

-

I have not. I was initially going to, but I decided against it very early on. Instead, I looked at the basis of the plot, that of a quirkless boy striving to become a hero, and the introduction of Izuku, as well as what we know of him pre-canon, and designed him based on that.

He is an empathetic crier, he loves heroes, he analyses heroes as a hobby, he's incredibly smart, and he has the heart of a true hero. That is all present within canon.

The only real difference I made was him working out and taking actual steps to becoming a hero, because of his aforementioned intelligence. It's more than stupid to believe you can become a hero, a position known for action, without working out once.

However, I was going to base Bakugou off his prototype, as I felt he would have been more interesting and serve as a point of humour. I eventually decided against this as it would allow me to develop the idea of a hero's story and how heroes come to be. The idea that heroes are made, not born. Nature vs nurture and all that jazz.

Class 1b doesnt get enough love- what random trivia do you have for 1b in your rewrite?

Hello!

-

This made me happy to see, as I, too, love 1-B and do have some random bits of trivia. In no particular order:

Neitou is a big fan of the pre-quirk era, including music, games, fashion, and media in general

Shihai is very into K-Pop, but hides it to keep up his 'dark knight' portrayal

Itsuka has a collection of mittens. That's it, she has a collection of mittens

Tetsutetsu cries his eyes out whenever he watches anything even remotely sad

Pony once accidentally ate a spoonful of wasabi and has been traumatised ever since

Nirengeki doesn't fold any of his clothes. He shoves them in and irons them whenever he needs it. He thinks it saves time, (it does not)

Rin has a running gag where he'll say he was made in Korea, because that's where the 'Made in China' stickers originated from

Yui likes pottery. She's not that good at making them, but she'll enjoy the craftsmanship and collects some

Manga will sometimes jumpscare everyone with a particularly loud 'BANG!' just for the laughs

Shishida doesn't sleep on a bed. He sleeps on a bunch of blankets laid out on the floor. Might use a pillow

Sen is really into romance novels, but refuses to tell anyone

Kosei once blew a bubble with gum and accidentally used his quirk during it. The bubble was solidified over his mouth and blocked his nose. The doctors had to saw it off. He's never having bubblegum again

Kinoko has once tried to produce magic mushrooms and was only stopped when her parents caught her. She feigned innocence, but one day. One day she will have her own shrooms

Setsuna, when she was young, used to accidentally leave her hand at home and only realised when she took her shoes off at her school's entrance

Bondo has gotten high on his own glue. It's only happened once and he will never do it again after accidentally glueing his younger siblings to the sofa

Yosetsu tends to use his welding whenever he's excited, which has led to many phones being destroyed

Juuzou will sometimes swim in the ground, mostly because he can't be bothered to go to the pool

Togaru, during a bout of sleep deprivation, has once eaten cardboard and didn't realise it until he was nearly finished. He will never speak of this again

Ibara's hair has caught on fire many times. Once, she didn't realise it was on fire, due to a bbq taking place nearby, and all but ran into a nearby pond

Reikou will prank her friends by telling ghost stories and start levitating things nearby. She has attempted to levitate herself, and that ended with her face-first in the ground

-

Just want to explain why my replies tend to be slow: I get most, if not all, of these asks around 2 am, probably due to time difference. I also tend to have work most days these asks come in, and I get distracted very easily.

Sorry if anyone feels as though I've been ignoring them! Life gets in the way, you know?

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

what are class 1-a's (and 1-b's, if you want to include them) childhood favorite heroes and what are their current favorite heroes (if it changed)?

Hello! I do actually have them in my notes, though I don't have it for 1-B. Sorry, but I can do 1-A!

-

Aoyama Yuuga: All Might. No question, he loves the way All Might presents himself, and how he smiles in the face of despair. All Might is the pinnacle of heroism, in his eyes

Ashido Mina: Ryukyu. She thinks of her as an absolute icon, adoring her humble attitude, yet her ferocity in battle. Plus, all those clips of her being soft with children helped fuel her adoration

Asui Tsuyu: Gang Orca. Along with his aquatic-based quirk, she indentifies with his past, which he's open about, admitting how people would mock and bully him for being mutant, but strived towards heroics to help others accept their traits

Bakugou Katsuki: All Might. Mostly due to his strength and how he never loses. Alas, his ultimate dream is to surpass All Might and become the strongest, though this conflicts how he percieves All Might as unbeatable

Hagakure Tooru: Gunhead. It's less due to his strength or achievements, and more due to how threatening and strong he looks, only to be absolutely adorable in all the interviews. She loves that dichotomy

Iida Tenya: Ingenium, as if there is another option. In his eyes, Ingenium is the ideal hero. While he may not be as strong as All Might, or taken down as many villains as Endeavour, he will always see his brother as the best there could be

Jirou Kyouka: Present Mic. His tenacity, his never-ending joy, his pure enthusiasm, everything. She adores it all, and when he speaks up about how music can save people just as much as heroes do, it solidifies her choice of favourite hero

Kaminari Denki: Endeavour, (subject to change), due to how strong he is, and how many villains he's taken down. As someone with a dangerous quirk, Denki sees Endeavour's Hellfire and admires how he's able to control it so easily, especially with his flaming beard

Kirishima Eijirou: Crimson Riot, all the way through. His manliness, his view on courage, his inspirational speeches towards the newer generation. Maybe Crimson Riot isn't as well known as modern-day heroes, but he will forever be Eijirou's number one

Kouda Kouji: Hound Dog. While he may appear threatening, Hound Dog genuinely cares about others, and takes pride in his counselling job, (unlike canon). Plus, he has an animal-based quirk and Kouji adores all animals. Apart from bugs

Midoriya Izuku: Of course, All Might. Not just his strength, or his no-lose win streak, (apart from AfO), but his actions. The way he inspires everyone, his yearn for peace, his unwavering smile. His message of: anyone can become a hero. Even after All Might says no, Izuku still greatly admires him

Mineta Minoru: Midnight. Yes, groan all you want. He admires how, rather than just using her looks for popularity, she weaponises it, using it to distract men, (and women), getting their guards down. For once, he admires something other than physique

Ojirou Mashirao: Swinger. He's an original hero, who has a monkey mutation. He's very crafty in the way he uses his mutation. He inspired a lot of Mashirao's moves, and helped him look past his bullies

Satou Rikidou: Lunch Rush. His stance on cooking helped Rikidou find pride in his baking, and his upbeat attitude. The fact that he cooked a full-course French meal for up to ten-thousand people says a lot, and Rikidou admires it

Sero Hanta: Spiderguy. He would have called himself Spiderman, but it'd been copyrighted long before. His use of webbings to capture criminals and to swing across the city inspires Hanta to use his own quirk in similar ways

Shouji Mezou: Godzillo. Ever since he was little, he liked watching his interviews about how he was bullied for his appearance when he was young and strove to be a hero to help others accept themselves. It helped him strive to become a hero

Todoroki Shouto: At first, he doesn't really have one. He doesn't really admire heroes, when the only one he's had a close look at is Endeavour and, well... This is subject to change

Tokoyami Fumikage: Hawks, (subject to change). He admires his strive, how he became such a high-ranking hero at such a young age. His creativity with his quirk is also an inspiration

Uraraka Ochako: A la canon, Thirteen. They're the staple of resuce-based heroics, and both of their quirks affect force. Plus, Thirteen isn't ashamed to admit to being brought up poor, which Ochako identifies with

Yaoyorozu Momo: Miruko, no question. She loved her ferocity in battle, and while she dislikes her lack of cooperation, she still admires her strength in battle, and how her status inspires a generation of women and women in heroics

Is there any types of time consuming hobbies and/or out of school lessons (stuff like dance classes, piano lessons, acting lessons, etc) class a-1 did pre-ua that they had to drop or do less of due to how time consuming ua & being a hero course student is?

Also, since ua is also dormitory since the start, if a student was taking, say, private piano lessons would they be allowed to continue those lessons once school started.

Hello!

-

There aren't many, as most of spare time went to trying to improve their heroics, specifically combat, theory, referencing past heroes. That being said, there are still a few.

Ashido Mina: Dance lessons, once a week

Jirou Kyouka: Music lessons (online)

Midoriya Izuku: Piano (online)

Satou Rikidou: Baking (self-taught/parents helped teach)

Uraraka Ochako: Zero-hour, no contract job helping her parents

Yaoyorozu Momo: Fencing, violin lessons

Most of these had to be given up, as they'd begin to focus more on U.A. and heroics, though they remain as hobbies. From time-to-time, Momo will play the violin, Kyouka will play some music, Rikidou will bake (and offer it to everyone else), Mina has a tendency to dance when excited, and so on.

Obviously, people have hobbies outside of heroism. For example, Izuku has his analysis, Shouji likes to people-watch, Tooru likes to draw, and we already had a post about who likes to read/write fanfiction.

U.A. doesn't force anyone to stop any outside lessons or hobbies - students tend to drop extra lessons in favour of focusing on their studies. Online classes, where you can decide when you take the lessons and set your own pace, tend to stick around more than physical ones.

Hope this helps :)

Hello! what are your plans for Tomura? are you going to change him or just adjust the way he is in canon? I really love him and you can guess how I feel about the way hori treated him. even from the start, Tomura's character was flawed which really bothered me a lot. I hope you do him justice. and thank you for rewriting this serie. (sorry for any grammatical mistake, English is not my first language)

Hello!

-

I, too, really likes Tomura. I hated the way his character went, especially as he lost a lot of what made him interesting.

I want to do him justice. His goal will be different. I didn't like that the only reason he had to do anything was to destroy it. Destruction will still be part of his character, but there's more intricacies and isn't so simple.

I want to expand on his backstory, really dive into what sent him down a darker path. I want to push him to be more of his own character, rather than a tool for AfO.

Him being a foil will be properly emphasised, and I do not plan on letting him just die such a lousy death.

I also hope I can do him proper justice. At the very least, it will be better than what Horikoshi did to him.

-

Thanks!

Can you tell how you will plan Bakugou's redemption? Like I already like how you're dealing with him, like making him have difficulties and no one likes him at first. Will he and Izuku be friends again?

Hello!

-

In order to redeem Bakugou, I'm really going to throw in his face how awful he was, and how he can't keep his attitude. Especially not as a hero.

Realistically speaking, it takes many years for a person to truly change, but this is fiction. He will change throughout the rewrite, but it won't happen within a few months.

Bakugou will not become friends with Izuku again, not after all he's done. He'll leave Izuku alone, and he will improve, but he won't ever become Izuku's friend again. Which may seem weird when I do want to build an actual found family with 1-A, and Bakugou is part of 1-A, but it makes more sense to me.

Bakugou will eventually make his own friends, becoming close to them who are close to Izuku and others. As much as I don't like him, that's mostly due to his writing, rather than his person. I prefer to treat every character equally when doing a rewrite.

Hello! Are you planning on including the movies in your rewrite and is there any plans on including the lore & characters found in the Vigilante Spin-Off Manga?

Hello!

-

I... haven't decided just yet. I'm not a big fan of the movies, though I do love Melissa and Rody Soul. I am a fan of the Vigilantes spin-off, probably because it wasn't written by Horikoshi, so I do plan on, at the very least, referencing it, maybe having Crawler show up seeing as he is a pro-hero.

I probably won't be adding any lore to Vigilantes, as it is a good series on its own with excellent writing. I feel like it's just not necessary.

So, yeah. Characters from the movies and Vigilantes will probably appear, especially in later arcs, but I do not plan on rewriting the movies. Mostly because it would mean I'd have to rewatch it, which I do not want to do.

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

of course feel free to ignore this if you're planning on addressing this any of this in a future post, but compared to canon, how heavily does the media/the press keep an eye on UA? And how well known is it to the public that one of the first year hero students is quirkless?

Hello!

-

I am going to address this later on, but it wouldn't hurt to divulge some information now.

The media/press keep a very heavy eye on U.A., as it's considered the best school in Japan, including universities/colleges, and ranked fourth globally. Most are searching for any reason to paint a bad light, some are searching for ways to make it look perfect, a few are searching for ways to present it as it is.

The quirks for students are not listed, and only 1-A and the staff actually know Izuku's quirkless.

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

What are you planning for Hitoshi? Like how important will it be in your rewriting?

Hello!

-

Hmm, Shinsou is a weird case. Like Bakugou, I am not a big fan of him, and I don't like how a lot of fanfic present his character. There have only been a few iterations that I actually like.

Shinsou's quirk is strong. Canon likes to say that others would call it underpowered, but it's not. Not if you improve your technique and charsima, both of which Shinsou lacks at the moment.

He will grow to become a more involved character, like canon, but I will also be taking creative liberties, such as creating an actual backstory, (one without all the common tropes you'd usually see associated with him), calling him out for his toxicity, and so on.

As I said, I'm far from his number one fan. Much like Bakugou, he will be called out and such, which will lead to a redemption arc. I also want to explain why his worldview became so warped.

Another thing I will say is that he will not be joining the Izucrew - sorry, but he just isn't interesting enough to do so, and he's an all-round jerk who wouldn't get along with the 'sweeter' characters. He'll have his own friends, maybe interacting with the Izucrew, but never actually joining their bunch.

Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it is warned in the pinned post that Shinsou-stans will not enjoy this rewrite much. I'm not going to bash on him, as that's more of a method of venting than a proper story, but he's not going to be handed much until he gets his head on straight.

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

Psssst! Whatcha got planned for Present Mic?

GASP! Is this... Rewritten Sparks Author? I believe it is! Hello!! :)

-

Mic is absolutely my favourite adult in MHA, which doesn't actually say much, but it means a lot to me. I love his genuine support towards his students and his enthusiasm when it comes to teaching. He's also a hidden genius, and I love that.

Which means he will absolutely be getting more attention and screen-time in this rewrite. Originally, I was going to have him be the Student Council Advisor, but then I remembered he already had three jobs and did not want to increase that to four.

That being said, I do have plans with him, with the intention of making him a more prominent character with a proper backstory, (not just an addition to Aizawa's), and interact a lot with Izuku and 1-A in general.

I don't want to spoil much, as any more will reveal plans for later arcs, but I will say that he has a more integral role than in canon.

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

Do you already have the character who will receive One for All, since Izuku looks like he won't be the ninth bearer?

Hello!

-

Well now, that would be telling, wouldn't it? :)

In all seriousness, I do have a general plan for OfA, but I feel like it'd be best kept secret until I get to that part. Fear not, it shouldn't be that long until we get to that point.

[my-rewrite-academia]

Are you planning on giving charcters back stories not present in Canon to expand on them or will you simply build on what's already there?

Hello!

-

A little bit of both, really. If there isn't already a backstory to a character, I'll be looking at their current state and creating a backstory, sort of backtracking to figure out how they became who they are.

That being said, U.A. is the backstory for a lot of the characters.

For characters that already have a backstory that wasn't very, well, good, I'll be taking the basis of that backstory and tweaking it to fit better. Just to name a few: Hawks, Tomura, Stain, and so on.

There are character whose backstories I won't change at all, such as Shouto, Bakugou, Tenya... I'm focusing more on their journey, and how that changes from canon to make a bit more of a statement.

People like Neitou and Mezou will have their backstories expanded upon, digging into things such as how discrimination affected them and how it still does, even after they've escaped it and proved people wrong, or maybe they proved them right just to make them wish they were wrong.

A big theme I want to go into is how heroes and villains are not born - they are made. In the end, they are two sides to the same coin, and it takes only one minor difference to flip it. And one of the best ways to do this is to explore backstories to compare and contrast.

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

In your version, does the UA have clubs for leisure activities (such as arts or games) and sports? Just like the clubs that exist in Japanese schools.

Hello!

-

U.A. absolutely has clubs, but they're mainly for the gen-ed course, as the other courses are simply far too focused and specialised to have time for extracurricular.

We won't really be exploring those, as the main focus is on the hero course, and how it interacts with other courses.

-

Thanks for the ask!

[my-rewrite-academia]

In your version, is Izuku autistic? Will there also be arcs in your story for the three years of the hero course? Or will there be a timeskip at the end of the first year?

Hello!

-

While this can be ignored if it doesn't match your headcanons, Izuku is autistic in the rewrite. Tenya, Tsuyu and Shouto are also autistic, with differing traits. While they're all high-functioning/level 1, Izuku feels very strongly and expresses it, whereas Tsuyu and Shouto have a harder time doing so. Tenya is somewhere in the middle.

A lot of Shouto's traits can be attested to the abuse he suffered growing up, but there are others than tie to autism, such as struggling to understand sarcasm and sayings, like 'lady killer' or 'break a leg'.

Tsuyu is very blunt in nature, another sign of autism, which unintentionally can lead to harming others. She also has ticks, such as touching her finger to the side of her cheek, and saying 'kero', and her raptor arming, (holding her arms up like a velociraptor).

Tenya, of course, struggles with autism: projecting his voice without realising it, his arms practically being a physical tick, a lot of passion in specific interests... A lot of jokes also go flying over his head.

Of course, Izuku is almost universally agreed to be autistic, (to those who have headcanons about neurodivergency), with his stims, (mumbling to himself), his special interests, (analysis and heroes), strong emotions, and high intelligence.

-

This rewrite will take course over all three years. Canon arcs do happen, but there will be original arcs to build up on different characters and relationships, as well as world building and lore. Mainly things I felt were either missing from canon, or simply waved-off.

The gap between Year 1 and Year 2 is actually only about two-three weeks, as opposed to the west where it's about six-seven weeks. The six-seven week break happens in the middle of the year.

Either way, any times skips will be small and nothing important.
