@thatoneartistinthecorner and I have some amazing news for you all!!!

Both of us have been working a very long time on a Skeptic AU in our minds. We have headcanons for him in college, headcanons for his life after college, a whole ass book for this man! So, we have decided to share it with you all!

We are making a series called:

Demon Days

which will be an x reader story with the two meeting in college and making a life together. There will be angst, there will be fluff, and there will be a lot of world building around a man who showed up in MHA for 27 seconds!

We are really wanting to provide for the Skeptic fans who get 0 content for him and hope we can do it together through my fanfic and @thatoneartistinthecorner's art!

If you are a Skeptic fan, I would love for you to follow along, so let me know if you would like to be tagged in this series!! Also please go follow @thatoneartistinthecorner because she will be tagging you as well in the art she makes for the series!

Also, we are hoping to make a schedule for when chapters will come out, but don't know yet, so this may be a bit of a bumpy start, but know that we are just excited to get started!!

We are so happy to be collaborating on a series like this that we have just been hashing out and would like to thank all of our Skeptic enjoyers out there for all of your future support!!!

Hey! May I get some headcannons for Skeptic please? Can they be about the way he hugs, cuddles and kisses please? Thank you! Love your writing btw! <3

abso freaking lutely!! Tomo is my baby boy~

superiority inferiority complex and hidden insecurities??? he doesn’t know her! XD

He’s not very good at being affectionate and romantic in public, for one thing. If you act that way with him where others can see, fine, whatever, it doesn’t really bother him; just don’t expect him to reciprocate, at least not to the degree that you act. Much as he adores you, he doesn’t like seeming vulnerable around other people. That kind of thing can be exploited as a weakness, so he tries to hide it. He’ll return a kiss or give your hand a squeeze, but… there won’t be much passion in public gestures.

Even in private, though, it’s not usually easy for him to relax. Sometimes it feels like if he isn’t constantly working on something, he’s just… failing at life. But of course, that’s precisely the reason he needs to relax a little. He’s nearly always very stiff at first, mumbling some excuse about having something to do, and resisting your touch. It’s as if he has to let himself have ‘permission’ to chill out. Luckily, the simple fact that you want to spend time with him, unadulterated by any kind of responsibilities, often makes him soft. To the point that it’s easier, only around you, to let all the stress and worry melt down into something far more manageable. When he’s with you, he believes that everything else should come second ― time for you is time for you, and his being preoccupied with other things is disrespectful to his beloved. Though it takes practice, to feel his muscles go completely limp under your fingertips is the best.

Tends to rest his head on your shoulder or in your lap during cuddle sessions. Particularly around you, he has been trying to let his walls down a bit, so most of the time when you’re together, (only in private), he silently reminds you that there’s a lot weighing him down. So… he occasionally has to put it all down. The safest way to do so is to let you hold him for  awhile. He likes to watch TV or read books this way, too… snuggled up with you, head nuzzled into your neck or laying atop your thighs. You quiet his mind, somehow, and give him something more gentle to focus on. It’s a good thing he doesn’t have a Quirk which relies on stress to power it, because moments like this take it all away. (He has never been so glad to not be Rikiya Yotsubashi in his life…)

Regardless of anything else, he’s incredibly gentle with you during romantic moments, particularly in public. (Obviously, sex is another story!) He’s careful in where he puts hi hands, he doesn’t dare use any real kind of force, and even if you’re trying to work him up or get his attention, he displays a level of restraint that rivals a vow of celibacy. He does like to hold your hand… well. When he’s able to. Often his own hands are busy with his laptop, so, he can’t always take your hand. It’s a cautious gesture when he does, though.

Hugs from Tomoyasu are… desperate, in a way? Maybe he’s paranoid, but it’s a frequent thought in his mind: I could lose you, couldn’t I? Something could go wrong. And I could lose you. And it would be my fault that I didn’t ― couldn’t ― keep you safe. He knows he’s physically not the strongest person, and… while his Quirk is powerful, it really doesn’t tie directly into strength. He’s convinced he can’t do anything to protect you, so instead, he holds onto you tightly when he can. It scares him, the thought that a failure of his could lead to something bad happening to you. So he clings to you. He holds you in his arms for much longer than most people would consider a hug to last. With him, it’s more of a standing cuddle, except all his muscles are tensed with this singular purpose of holding you as close as possible. He nestles his face against your neck, rubs his hands up and down the small of your back, pats between your shoulder blades. It’s technically a hug! Just… a very, very long one.

Suffice it to say, his ‘hug’ is enough of an emotionally-charged romantic gesture that he doesn’t hug you like this around other people. When he does hug you in public, it’s nothing like his real hugs. In public, it’s fleeting, casual; more often than not, just a one-armed return to a hug you’ve given him. His arm loops around your waist briefly, maybe a quick squeeze, before he pulls away to continue whatever else he’s doing. His hugs in public and private are like night and day.

His kisses work in a similar way to his hugs. In public? You’ll be lucky if you get a peck on the cheek. It lasts half a second, tops… though, if he happens to be around the rest of the MLA and them only, he will occasionally be holding your hand, and tug it upwards to brush his lips over your knuckles. Kissing a partner’s hand is quite romantic, isn’t it? Particularly given his focus on hands in general, considering how much he uses his own, mirroring it and giving some attention to your hands is a bit of a significant gesture for him, even if it doesn’t last long.

Privately, his kisses are so, so, so needy. He kisses you as if he thinks you’re going off to war, like he’s never going to see you again. Of course, that’s only if the two of you have more than a moment to spare. Because those private, true kisses of his are so desperate, he takes a while to get through them. He might kiss you in long intervals, broken only by the need to catch his breath, drawn out over… twenty minutes, half an hour, or more than an hour. Or he might go intense in a different way, catching your lips with his over and over quickly, like machine-gun fire, and he’ll need to ‘reload’ every few minutes. Either way, he typically ends up quietly panting for breath, with his forehead leaned against yours and clasping your hand, softly begging you, “Do it again. Kiss me again.” Even if he can’t breathe, he wants more; unintentionally self-destructive, he would probably beg you for a kiss even if he knew it would kill him. He just… needs to know that you’re here. That you’re still here. That he hasn’t transformed himself into someone utterly incapable of being loved.

Skeptic - Tomoyasu Chikazoku

MHA S7E16 - "The Chain Thus Far"

[byjovewhataspend]

the vague idea of 'skeptic was a very high profile Goth Individual who cared about heteromorph rights back when tokoyami was a kid, so when PH!Tokoyami comes upon him ... he just thinks he looks pathetic and in need of help. Tomoyasu, high as a kite, does not realize he narrowly avoided arrest'

this was inspired by a fic that... did not contain any of this.

[kharmii]

OMG this beautiful art work.

I was very satisfied of the 5 seconds of screentime Skeptic had in today's episode of My Hero Academia. 👍

[tonberry-yoda]

this new year fic is for me because im a tomoyasu simp

(warning, there is a ... uh ... suggestive bit at the end ;) but i quite like it so tee hee)

You couldn't believe you were able to get Tomoyasu to agree to go to this party with you, you thought as you zipped up your new dress. Maybe wearing a super sparkly dress would be too much for a simple new year’s party, but you honestly didn't care. It made you feel cute and you’ve never really dressed up for Tomoyasu. And work skirts didn't count.

“Are you ready yet?” You heard Tomoyasu’s tired voice outside of the bathroom door as you were finishing up a dark eye look.

“Almost,” you said, looking yourself over in the mirror one more time. You couldn't believe you were doing this and you didn't even know why. You and Tomoyasu were never a flashy couple. I mean sure, you looked intimidating while you both went out wearing matching black suits in his nice old fashioned black car, but this was different. You felt exposed.

You didn't care though. You smiled at yourself in the mirror and walked out of the bathroom to see Tomoyasu waiting for you.

“Darling, you look,” he swallowed, his face flushing pink. “You look stunning.” You saw a smile flash onto his lips as he moved his bangs to look at every inch of you.

Your face turned bright red and you clutched the jacket you were holding. “Thank you, Tomo. You look great too.”

“Oh, I'm wearing the same thing I always do.” He walked over to you and took your jacket, slinging it over his shoulder. He took in every centimeter of your dress, running his fingers over the sparkles. “You on the other hand,” he tilted your chin up, your lips inches away from his to where you could smell the mint on his breath. “You look breathtaking.”

Tomoyasu pressed his lips to yours, pulling you in by your waist. His lips were always soft and covered with a thin layer of chapstick. He pulled away before pressing one more kiss to your lips and grabbed your hands.

“You know, y/n. I'm actually kind of happy that we’re going to this party, as much as I really hate parties.”

“Oh?” You giggled, taking your jacket back as he led you to his car. “And why’s that?”

“Otherwise, this dress of yours would be strewn on the floor instead of being worn out.” He winked at you and opened the passenger door leaving you with a bright red face all the way to the party.

Bones Studio Screwed Over The Meta Liberation Army So I’m Doing An Analysis To Complain:

(Slight Spoilers: Mentions of Season 7 and the Manga)

So, As the title suggests, I’m going to be complaining about Bones Studio and how they handle my favorite arc and my favorite characters and how basically they water them down where it’s kind of lame. As I have written this, This could change after written/posted. We’re on Season 7 and while they showed the very important battle of certain hackers. They missed an important part...

That is Geten and Mr. Compress talking in prison about Geten’s family being toxic. This was an important part to not only Dabi’s backstory to reveal the harmful ways the Himura family bred for improved and better quirks, but also important to Geten’s story as well since this revealed, Geten is related to Dabi. They removed that scene even though this involved Dabi is loved by fans. This is truly beyond me since I believe it was a crucial part of the story. In my personal opinion, I believe it’s a personal hatred of the Meta Liberation Army on Bones’s part…

Which is why… I’m making this post, talking about everything Bones Studio did wrong with the MLA Arc and the Meta Liberation Army, why this makes me angry, and the created differences between the Manga to Anime.

——————————

How Bones Studio Handled The Meta Liberation Army Arc:

This is an arc I absolutely love and is one of my favorites, Even in the anime it’s still my favorite. HOWEVER, I can’t forgive them for what they done to it. I personally believe that if the arc was animated properly and included the scenes missing, The MLA would have been almost as popular as the other villain groups and a lot more fans would be on board with them. Have you seen the merch for the MLA it is very little and usually exclusive to Japan. Now you must be thinking but “Myvillainacademiafan, They cut a lot of those scenes out to make it work for the anime!” I’m aware you gotta make room for time and other purposes. I’m aware some scenes don’t seem relevant. And yes, I’m aware some scenes might be inappropriate for a TV-14 rating. I “MAY” have forgiven them if it was only like a couple of times. BUT THERE WAS OVER A DOZEN SCENES CUT OUT, CHANGED, CENSORED, AND MORE. At that point, you might as well either create a new story with the amount of changes and bonuses made. Now let’s get to the changes…

——————————-

Re-Destro’s Introduction And The Proper Introduction Of The Army:

In the Manga, instead of the introduction of the Meta Liberation Army being the call with the League of Villains in the episode “My Villain Academia”. It’s actually when the UA students are hanging out and a certain commercial comes on the tv. It’s Re-Destro advertising for his company Detnerat. The commercial shows how the company is to help people in society with mutant like quirks or abilities live in the world easier with the help of their items. (I would also say that in a way, whether his company or the army, he wants citizens to live freely with their powers and this commercial was a perfect way to show that). After the commercial plays, it turns out it was being watched by Re-Destro and his assistant as well. (they don’t even reveal his assistant in the anime. Rip Miyashita for not getting an anime adaptation…)

The two talk for a bit when suddenly Re-Destro lets the word “Meta Ability” slip. Miyashita questions this and this was a perfect time to advertise Destro’s book “Meta Liberation War”. While he was hoping the assistant would be on board of the Meta Liberation Army, Miyashita however wasn’t convinced and saw this book as harmful and Destro nothing but a “Ranting Criminal” So with a slight uncomfortable and chilling scene, Re-Destro makes sure the man didn’t have any close loved ones before cracking his neck. After doing so, He expressed not only disappointment in Miyashita disliking the book and insulting Destro, but mourned the loss of the life taken…

After this we get the familiar scene we got with Re-Destro walking in to the lieutenants of the army to talk about their updates of the league in the episode “Revival Party”…

Why Removing This Scene Was Wrong And Makes No Sense:

While starting with the call for the League Of Villains is good at giving Re-Destro a mysterious feel to him, I believe you still would have gotten the same even if you included the original scene. Not only that, but it gives Re-Destro some unpredictably with how he’s going to react when you insult basically his lively hood. The commercial was a smooth and charming introduction of the character himself and having him talk and introduce the book was an excellent way to introduce the reader/viewer to the next arc. The murder of Miyashita was also an excellent way to introduce the threat and uneasiness of the Meta Liberation Army and what’s to come, Especially since it perfectly transitions to the fight with the ice villain fighting Shoto and Bakugo and that the villain was using Detnerat products. (Revealing panels later that Detnerat also helps villains in the black market as well)

In the anime, nobody is going to understand the ice villain and why his weapon was destroyed after he was caught because the manga explains better with the context. People were confused at first on Slidin Go’s sudden appearance and relevance to the story, (however, that could be a fault on both ends). When you go straight to the phone call for the introduction and appearance of the army. A lot of people were confused on who the hell those guys were anyways. So, instead of seeing them along the story and getting excited to see them finally go into action when the League of Villains do fight in Deika City. You’re left a bit confused with the anime…

AND SPEAKING OF CONFUSION, Is anyone going to talk about Giran in this?…

————————————

Giran’s Sudden Kidnapping In The Anime:

While both the anime and the Manga don’t reveal how Giran got captured in the first place. The Manga added a bit more understanding compared to the anime. Before they show Giran in the Manga, We cut to the Meta Liberation Army talking with each other about Re-Destro’s black market items. (Which was played exactly after the ice villain was arrested. Literally a perfect transition and explanation on to the MLA as a threat and why everything happened the way it did) To which Skeptic told Re-Destro their “Guest” has arrived. We see Giran being dragged in by two body guards. And while the army has tried to beat and threaten the information out of Giran. He refuses to sell out his clients/League… And then after that we cut to the introduction of Gigantomachia like how we have in the anime.

…For the Anime, He’s just already there… He’s already Kidnapped, tortured, and had his stuff recovered while looking sad… Where’s the stubborn refusal and where’s the context on the anime’s part? While I guess it could be forgiven, they went easier on Giran in the anime given that his bruises are a lot more tame compared to the manga. It’s just confusing to have him suddenly there with not really any context. BTW, in the manga, they LITERALLY showed Giran’s fingers being placed around the areas the League has been. The anime really cut down the gore for that. (Not to mention the small dialogue revealing Skeptic got the information from Giran’s files after he thought he deleted them) Anyways, It’s just giving me earlier Mario games where you hear Princess Peach is kidnapped but they don’t show it. At this point, I feel like Re-Destro is going to tell the League “Their Broker is in another castle.”

The Mistakes With The Beginning Fight Of Deika City:

——————————

I’m not going to go over the missing details with the League of Villains and such because this post is talking about the Meta Liberation Army. So here’s a list of missing mistakes until we get to the major big con of the anime again (While these are not really a big deal, I felt it would have been more cool if they kept these)

*After Trumpet welcomes them to the Revival Party and the fight begins. We see several shots of security cameras around the city. In the anime, They usually show the security cameras like once or twice. (While I can understand this being cut out. It’s a way that not only shows this is being recorded and that the citizens of Deika City are constantly watched. But it is also implying the incoming threat of Skeptic)

*Theres a shot of a hero trying to stop a worker from heading in Deika City area and Re-Destro talks about how it’s a city in a far away place covered with trees, Explaining it’s a perfect place to lay low in. (This one is understandable too and anime fans may already get the point. It’s still a way to show how the MLA haven’t got caught yet)

*The small dialogue removed from citizens/soldiers defending the army (Personally. I like them all to have a word. It just makes it more lively).

*The gore and violence being toned down. (I’ll talk more about, this but Bones Studio tends to have this thing where they either tone down certain things, Go off screen, they even clean them of blood. I understand it’s for TV-14 but if you’re going to develop the manga. Develop it right.)

And Finally, How they handled Curious’s Death which is my next topic…

—————————————-

Curious’s Death And How It Had Much More Effect In The Manga:

From what I described in the little difference above after Trumpet introduces the army and the fight with Curious, There wasn’t a lot of major changes to complain about (I still will though) However, one thing I found specifically interesting is Curious’s death and how it was almost completely brushed away in the anime…

In the Manga, When Curious fell down it was brutal. They did not shy away from hiding the bodies dropping to the ground. After her death and Toga finding the shed to hide in. We cut to Re-Destro talking about Curious’s death and mourning her as Skeptic comes in. We see Re-Destro actually cry at the loss of Curious. Which brings me to the next part of this topic…

How The Lieutenants Handled Curious’s Death In The Manga:

While neither the Manga or anime showed Geten’s reaction to the news, The Manga showed how Re-Destro, Skeptic, And Trumpet handled the news of their comrade.

As I mention, we seen Re-Destro cry. He has cried TWICE. And yet, Bones Studio decided to cut those scenes out! (It’s like they don’t want Re-Destro to show emotion) But removing this was such a huge waste to his character because having a villain that cares so much about his subordinates is so rare to see these days and while we know he cares, It’s good to see this.

Now back on subject, Skeptic then talks about how they can’t use the footage of Curious’s death because “Toga isn’t a good fit for the tragic lead of narrative they’re pushing” Giran asks about the footage and Skeptic lectures and nags Giran about being stupid and to ask properly. Just like with Re-Destro’s scenes, Removing this is also a waste since it shows Skeptic’s character and behavior that could have been entertaining in the anime. (I will go over how they toned down Skeptic’s character in the next topic)

After, Skeptic goes on his tirade, Giran questions the MLA, and Re-Destro remains determined, We cut to the scene of the league fighting (It’s the same scene we see after Toga kills Curious however with a twist) Trumpet comes in on his political van and announces some tragic news. He announces the death of Curious and the soldiers/citizens are distraught. Trumpet uses his words to let them know of Re-Destro’s wishes and to fight harder making the crowd even more determined and angry, A harder challenge for the League of Villains.

Obviously with the anime, Curious just dies and nobody says anything about it. Removing those scenes is also a wasted opportunity because Bones isn’t showing how the lieutenants value one another, They don’t show the effect on everyone and how it would make the MLA fight harder after the league killed a valued member. It also makes it look like they just don’t care that she was killed to begin with. She just dies and we’re done. If Anime!Curious was in the afterlife watching them move on just like that, I bet you she would be fuming…

While Geten’s and Dabi’s fight remains the same, As we move on. There is some slight differences we notice with one Lieutenant with the Manga compared to the anime…

—————————————

Skeptic Being Toned Down In The Anime:

(Btw we never got this scene with the manga, Below is merch. While I love the art, I find it frustrating he was never seen animated like this) Anyways, while I’m aware this one isn’t really too much of a big deal and I’m happy to see Skeptic anyway I could since he is my favorite character, I believe Bones Studio toning down Skeptic really effects his character and removes the charm from it. It’s like Bones studio shoved chill pills down his throat.

For the manga, we get almost the same scenes we have from the end of “Revival Party” and the Beginning of “Sad Man’s Parade” Despite some subtle and not too much of big deal things, it’s a bit noticeable that Skeptic’s attitude is toned down. We talked about the reactions of Curious’s death, there was a scene cut out between Giran and Skeptic. Bones Studio has removed his nagging moments. (They removed another scene with him nagging at Slidin Go after the war so it just seems like Skeptic was always watching and collected. Interesting way to go at it but where’s the spice, You know)

But throughout his thing with Twice in the manga, Skeptic’s movements and behavior was slightly more chaotic. His poses were more backbreaking and animated yet his dialogue stayed similar to his character (And how it is in the anime). It was a way of showing that Skeptic doesn’t care how he acts, he’ll do whatever he wants and get the job done.

One more scene was cut out and as a Skeptic fan, It really frustrated me and that’s when he uses his quirk in action. After we get Twice becoming stronger, Skeptic telling Re-Destro he didn’t fail, the League fighting hard, and Dabi and Geten fighting (All which we have in the anime) We cut to Twice trying to clone Toga to do a blood transfusion. One of the Twice clones gets knocked back and they see that it’s one of Skeptic’s anthropomorphs to which soon… More start appearing! We see Skeptic looking insane and determined as he began to make multiple clones, commanding them all to go after Twice and capture him as he began to run after him. He was determined to capture himself because Skeptic “did not” fail.

Bones removing that scene was ridiculous because not only would that given Twice more of a challenge and show that the MLA will get their hands in there if it means success, but it also takes away showing how Skeptic’s quirk works in action. Having the scene removed and he’s just out in battle is a little strange, Like he’s just roaming and standing around? That isn’t like his character at all, he would take action! We finally got to see how his quirk works in season 7, however it was a little late when it should have been included in Season 5 to begin with… It would have been so cool to see the animation of the anthropomorphs forming and Skeptic running through the city madly and it would have been so cool to see the nagging scenes animated. (Think of it like Deku’s mutter scenes. But instead, It’s an a slight creepy nag with a dark background and the words “Nag” popping up haha)

And there is several times where Anime!Skeptic was toned down more compared to Manga!Skeptic however this is talking about the MLA arc so that’s a complain for another time probably…

Before we got that scene with Skeptic running after Twice, Most of the scenes are pretty much similar to the anime (With a scene from Hawk being placed in the middle of the MLA fight instead of earlier in the anime. That’s the only thing I will agree with for the anime’s decisions.) But one detail was also changed strangely that I also can’t help but notice…

—————————————

Regards Of Re-Destro’s Relationship With Destro In The Manga Vs Anime:

I don’t know what Bones Studio was thinking when they decided to make this choice, But in the anime Re-Destro claimed and was heavily hinted to be Destro’s son, when all actuality and in the manga, Destro is just his ancestor. There is so many reasons wrong with this and why this couldn’t work.

First of all, the time of Destro being alive wouldn’t work with Re-Destro’s because this was a time quirks were starting to appear and this was a time All For One was starting to make his ways in the world of villainy and All For One is confirmed to be over a hundred years old. (If Re-Destro was Destro’s son then he would be so old and wrinkly at this point of time… Or dead because how?)

Second, It’s just incorrect. It’s not true. Destro is just an ancestor to Re-Destro, Not his father. And when you talk about Re-Destro and Destro to fans who only seen the anime, They get confused when told Destro is actually an ancestor to him and not a father. At this point, If Bones Studio is mixing up the characters’s information. We should too, why not make AFO Shigaraki’s Biological father or make All Might related to Mineta. Because it’s fun ig!?! (Obviously people can have their headcanons, I have mine too! But when a whole studio is just getting information wrong, It’s just annoying)

@Stillness-in-green made a very good post talking about this and explains it much better then I could. So definitely check that out!

—————————-

More Minor Mistakes Before We Talk About The Final One:

*More dialogue from citizens/soldiers missing. (I already explained why this annoys me)

*Some dialogue between Trumpet and Spinner was removed. (Especially since it helps with Spinner’s character development and trimming while still works in the anime in terms of understanding and plot is still frustrating to manga readers)

*A scene of Slidin Go blocking a van from entering at the outside of Deika City when suddenly loud booming noises are heard and the hero mistakes it for earthquakes (While not really a big deal or a must have scene. This would have given Slidin Go more on screen moments… Maybe where he wouldn’t be forgotten).

*A scene/panel of a page from a children’s book talking about being kind to those with Mutant based quirks. (While also not a must, It would have been cute animated. Plus it would have been very funny if that plays after Trumpet gets offended to be compared to Spinner).

*Even though I said I wasn’t going to talk about the scenes missing with the league, this one I will. There’s a scene/panel with young Shigaraki looking on at a mysterious man leaving as his mother bows in apology. (If you’re caught up in the manga, You would know why removing that scene was a big mistake. Once again, Bones Studio picking and choosing what they want to add or not. I had to point this out because that’s what they did with this whole arc.)

*They removed Spinner clinging on Trumpet’s political van as Trumpet tries to reach Re-Destro, Basically clinging on to the van as it drives. (Suppose Spinner just ran over there quick in the anime)

*Re-Destro’s Claustro slowly breaks down in the manga. (Not much to complain. It just would have been cooler animated like that)

*And finally the last thing to complain about is the gore… Or less gore in the anime…

————————————

Bones Studio Censoring The Gore Of The Meta Liberation Army Arc:

When people complain and talk about the comparison of censorship between the manga and anime of My Hero Academia, it’s this arc that has a lot of examples… A lot. While I’m aware and understand that this is a TV-14 rated show, it’s still in the manga and it should be represented to keep it faithful. The violence was toned more down with Giran’s bruises, to Toga’s bloody face from Curious, Shigaraki getting his fingers snapped off, and finally to the one picture above where Re-Destro’s legs were chopped off to save himself from decaying from Shigaraki’s quirk. The final scene with Re-Destro bowing to Shigaraki as his new leader was so chilling yet so cool in the Manga. It’s cool in the anime, But we could have had much more of it if it wasn’t toned down. It just feel like a cop out and lazy on Bone’s part…

————————————

In Conclusion:

After the scenes I talked about, Everything is almost pretty much the same in the anime as in the manga as well, leaving my talk of the Meta Liberation Army Arc closing.

While I’m thankful for Bones Studio animating the anime I love, I feel frustration with how they handle not only the Meta Liberation Army but characters that are not as popular to fans or the main characters, Villains or not. Bones Studio usually will focus on characters that are more popular and give them as much screen time as they can while depriving others who aren’t as popular with scraps. (If you also notice, Throughout my talk, I had no complains of Geten’s scenes because he was usually seen with Dabi who is considered a popular character. So Geten’s scenes remain in tact because Bones knows Dabi is popular)

What caused them to do what they did to the Meta Liberation Army in the anime adaptation is beyond me? Whether it’s simply not caring about them, putting more focus, time, and money on characters that are more popular, Someone even theorized it was to put the budget of animation on the filler episodes or the movie that was coming up at the time. Whether it was, the fact that the characters I love were discarded and basically fans either don’t know or don’t like/care about the MLA and/or Arc, Hurts because THIS IS MY FAVORITE ARC. And I’ll be damned if I lie and say it isn’t because a lot of people say otherwise.

Whether anime or not, The MLA and the arc will still remain my favorite even if the studio working on doesn’t think so. These are characters I love and value a lot when it comes to My Hero Academia. But with how the Meta Liberation Army was handled and continued to be handled in the anime to this day is just frustrating. In Conclusion, Bones Studio do better…

Skeptic is so criminally underused in the Final War arc…

His quirk, Anthropomorph, is very similar to Twice’s… he can make puppets out of human-sized inanimate objects. In a war-torn Japan, where most have evacuated their homes, Skeptic would have nearly infinite material to work with. Rumble, fridges, desks, bookcases, mattresses, etc… everywhere.

The heroes were scared of Twice? Imagine how scary Skeptic could be… It seems his quirk doesn’t have a measurement requirement and with his hacking skills, he could probably produce a puppet of whoever he wants. The biggest drawback? How many he could control and the durability of his puppets.

He seems to be capable of controlling at least 10 puppets at a time, if his Twice puppets are any indication. However, it seems he can give direct or indirect commands to his puppets, meaning he might be able to give general commands to a much larger multitude of puppets using the comms and video system.

Skeptic could have potentially produced an army for the League, tricked the heroes into believing Twice was still alive, or even made puppets of Toga, Dabi, and Shigaraki to confuse the heroes.

Heck, depending on his limitations, he might be able to make Nomu puppets and/or have his puppets receive quirks from All for One.

Plus, Skeptic uses psychological warfare. Imagine puppets of young Touya attacking Endeavor, using family members of other heroes, or even confusing the heroes with puppets of each other.

Better yet, his puppets could have gone and freed the imprisoned Meta Liberation Army, and Mr. Compress, while the majority of the heroes were fighting against the villains.

He might not be Twice, but I’m surprised AFO didn’t incorporate Skeptic’s quirk into their battle.
