Made this a while ago, so it looks kind of weird, but I thought I’d post it anyway.

A couple of years ago, there was this trend on TikTok where people would act like the eight main villains from MHA and sing the eight verses from the chorus of the song “I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE” by Måneskin.

I saw that trend and thought “Gee! I wonder how the Beyblade Burst boys would look doing this (which is pretty much my thought process for every piece of media I see)!”

Here’s what I came up with (based off of my Elemental Masters AU):

Genuinely cannot stop thinking about this but hear me out

Mha x monster au

Aizawa as Kenzo and Tenko and Hana as Johan and Anna

I just think it'd work so incredibly well with him similar Tenko and Johans pasts are

MetalBurst Project - Season 1: Beyblade Burst Origin

Includes the basics (bladers, beyblades, battles, events, debuts). Specific scores of individual matches & specific times new moves are learnt are not included. Oh, and Akira is a girl in my fan-made version.

Each opening would have different scenes from the original, but while I can draw I can't animate whatsoever, nor do I have time to draw an entire opening. So use your minds to imagine alternate scenes for the opening.

[English] Opening Theme (Ep. 1-26): Our Time

[English] Opening Theme (Ep. 27-51): Battle Above My League

[Japanese] Opening Theme (2 Versions - Ep. 1-26 + Ep. 27-51): Burst Finish

Classic Key Visual Novel ‘Kanon’ English Release Announced

From Noisy Pixel

Visual Arts/Key has announced an English release for Kanon. The classic game was Key’s first title back in 1999 and started the brand. It’ll come to PC via Steam but no release window was revealed.

Kanon tells the story of Yuichi Aizawa, a young man staying at his aunt's after his parents moved overseas. Seven years have passed since he was last in this town and his memories of back then are fuzzy.

On the day he moves, a young girl called Ayu Tsukimiya bumps into him. Later, he will get to know other girls who’ll become important in his life, including his cousin, Nayuki Minase, who studies in the same class as him.

Kanon had a recent Switch release by Prototype but that edition was only available in Japanese. This new Steam release marks the first time in 25 years that the game will have English subtitles as an option.

Kanon was Key’s debut title, with Jun Maeda at the helm of Makoto’s, Mai’s and Sayuri’s routes while Naoki Hisaya handled the others. The duo had also worked together on MOON. and ONE, and are well-known for their relevance in establishing the nakige genre (visual novels that pull at your heartstrings).

“Two of these are women.”

Father figures also count

“Some of these doesn’t have their own kids”

See point 1

“Why is there only a few characters from the same franchise going against each other but sometimes they aren’t”

Because I only recognized fire emblem, Pokémon, and JJBA at first.

“Aus doesn’t count”

As a previous undertale fan. I could care less. And I am not replacing Tim with BAMSE.

“Replace x with Bamse”

Sorry but. Findus and Skalman have already won. 3 times are a bit too much for us sweds.

“911 is copaganda”

You see Brooklyn 911 (picked by wheel) and you go against fireback mountain. Shame on you anon.

“Dad council these aren’t all random”

Yeah but Neon J vs Wubbox = chaos

"mr. aizawa-sensei? is that you?" the student's voice was quiet, small, like they weren't sure how loudly they were speaking. oh, it was the blind one from mic's class; naoki arioka. their glasses were missing, letting their leaf-green eyes show as they stared straight ahead of themself.

"Yes, its me. Are you alrigt? Do you need help?" He asks again, hovering nearby. "Where are your glasses?"

Self Preservation Level: Zero (Forging a family ch 2)

It wasn't every day you ran into All Might. Izuku was on the way home after a very irritating day that only got worse when a villain tried to use him as a hiding place. How does that even work?!

He'd been terrified. Not too long ago, some former friends told him to wish for a Quirk in his next life and now it looked like he might get the chance to do that.

A whoosh of air was the last thing Izuku felt before he blacked out, and he hoped desperately that it meant help would arrive.

Forging a Family

"Young man!" A voice that was used to being loud was currently hissing in his ear, and it was enough to break through his thoughts.

If not that, then the fact that someone is slapping him awake.

"Five more minutes, Oji-san. School is over. I get a nap."

"School is indeed over, young man, but this is not the place to nap."

Izuku scrambled blindly to his feet, lurching forward as he tried to steady himself.

"All Might!" He realizes breathlessly. "You're-."

"In the middle of capturing a villain, my boy, for which you have my sincerest apologies. I should have caught this man long before he got to you."

"Wait, no, why apologize?!" Izuku blurted out. "I'm sure you did everything you could!"

"You'd certainly think so, but if you remember anything else, remember that even heroes make mistakes."

"I can't imagine that. You're Number 1! The Symbol of Peace!"

All Might shot him a warm yet amused look.

"My boy, if we had the time I would tell you exactly what I think of hero rankings. But I must get this villain to the police."

All Might was preparing to take off but Izuku had questions! So many questions…

At the last minute, he grabbed onto the hero's shirt and was yanked high into the air by the single greatest leap he'd ever seen.

And it was terrifying. He barely managed to keep his mouth shut, gritting his teeth for fear of choking, but internally he was screaming his head off.

They landed on a roof, All Might having plucked Izuku from his lower side in midair and held him close as one would a baby.

Now, Izuku staggered upright after tumbling head over heels from such an abrupt landing.

"Young man," All Might ground out lowly. "That was dangerous, and it is inappropriate to invade one's personal space. You have a reason for doing so, yes?"

Izuku bobbed his head, struggling to catch his breath.

"Can I be a hero without a Quirk?" He blurted out.

All Might stood frozen at the question and Izuku knew that somehow, he'd gone too far.

Maybe it was because he'd grabbed the man out of nowhere. Maybe it was because he'd impeded All Might's plans for such a stupid, stupid question. Of course you couldn't be a hero without a Quirk, why would you bother-?!

"I should tell you no." All Might began slowly. "I should tell you that there is no making a way in this world without something to back you up. You would have to prove yourself a million times over for even a chance at what others have… but I will not tell you that. Because I am out of time, and have no idea what to say other than I see you going very far in life no matter what you do."

Smoke billowed from the taller man's form as he said those last words. All Might hunched over as he seemed to shrink in on himself, and then collapsed to the ground, coughing viciously.

Izuku narrowed his eyes. All Might was sick?

Izuku only ever heard that terrible cough from one person in his life. His uncle's partner looked American but spoke like he grew up in Japan. He was the oldest of his friend group, and whenever he came over to visit Inko and Izuku, he was fed a variety of strange dishes that Izuku's mother wouldn't normally cook.

"Oji-san…" Izuku whispered to the crumpled man before him. "What happened to you?"

Yagi Toshinori looked miserable as he attempted to respond.

"Nevermind." Izuku determined. "You're coughing up blood. Kaa-san said you shouldn't be doing that even with your stomach issues. Do you have your medicine with you?"

Yagi dipped his head in a nod.

"Pocket below the sludge bottles." He rasped. "I'll take them later."

"You should have something now. You can't say you aren't in pain, after what just happened."

"Transforming takes a lot out of me, yes, but I'm old and injured. Meds won't help me any more than if I took them later."

"You're not that much older than Naoki-ojisan." Izuku snorted. "But if you insist, can I at least escort you to the police station?"

"If you must, my boy."

Izuku wasn't sure how he missed something as obvious as Yagi being All Might. They spoke the same, they were the same ridiculous height, they both had blond hair and eerie blue eyes… the only conclusion he could come to was that he was a fool.

"No one knows what to look for." Yagi offered quietly as if reading his thoughts.

"So when you said you were a secretary at a Hero Agency…"

"Yes, I am my own secretary. It seems weird when I say it aloud, but I like having some measure of control over my life."

"So, why keep being a hero if you know you're injured?"

"Because I am a hypocrite, dear boy. Your mother has insisted that one must know their limits. This is what happens when you surpass those limits and keep going. Eventually, I will be forced into retirement, if I make it that long.”

“Of course you will, Yagi-san.” Izuku said, stopping in front of the older man so that they stared at each other. “You’re one of the smartest men I know. And All Might is an amazing hero. He’s been Number 1 for so long, is it any wonder he would think of retiring?”

“You are a smart one, my boy. Your mother raised you well.”

Izuku dipped his head in acknowledgment and they walked in peace for a while longer.

It wasn’t long enough, though. Up ahead was a large crowd. From the shouting that Izuku could make out and the number of heroes on the scene, someone was in trouble.

Forging a Family

"I got your number from your sister so please don't hang up yet."

"Five minutes."

"I messed up and I need you to yell at me."

"What?"

"You heard me the first time." Yagi ground out.

"Hold on. Have you talked to Naoki about this? Please don't tell me I'm the first person you called-!"

"He's working, I left a voicemail. On top of which I'll see him later today. What kind of fool do you think I am?"

"The last time you had a problem he could have solved you two didn't talk for weeks."

"Because he was being an asshole and invading my privacy. There's a difference."

"There's a… Okay. There's no time to unpack any of that so moving the fuck on."

"So I ran into your nephew today-."

"Huh. I haven't contacted Inko this week at all. How are they?"

"Good, fine. Inko seems happy."

"Well that's always a goal. But you ran into Izuku?"

"He was attacked by this pile of sludge that might have been a person-."

"He what?"

"I handled it… sort of. I captured the villain, Izuku woke up, that would have been that but I just knew something was up with him so I wanted to make sure he got home alright. I go to leave and this little shit decides to grab me at the last minute. I ended up sticking around to make sure he was okay but somehow the sludge pile escapes and kidnaps someone else. One of his classmates. So this kid… God, Shou, this fuckin kid… he tracked the sludge to a crowd that wasn't doing a damn thing and fired the first shot!"

"Wait a minute, he did what?! We're there other heroes on the scene?"

"Newcomers who couldn't think their way out of a paper bag, apparently!" Toshi snarled. "Just standing there and literally letting a youngster die!"

"Not everyone is quick to react. But go on, how'd he do it?"

"Threw his bag at the villain's face and scraped the boy out when All Might did a Detroit Smash."

"All Might did a-? Is he crazy?!"

"No, no. He times the attack perfectly. The kid knew what he was doing and All Might saw an opportunity and went for it. The villain was captured a second time, the kid actually got to go home."

"So what's the problem?"

"His mother recognized me. Didn't say anything, but she knew. And before that…"

"Yes?"

"I-considered-giving-him-my-quirk!"

"Repeat that?"

"I almost told the boy everything right then and there."

"Why?"

"He was so brave, my friend! He acted when no one else was able to! And before, on the way to the police station, he asked if he could be a hero."

Aizawa laughed, a short bark of a thing.

"Literally only that kid would ask his hero without knowing exactly what that means… gods above. But how does that lead to the boy getting your power?"

"I almost told him everything."

"But?"

"I remembered this is Inko's boy. She would flay me alive and have me for dinner if I tried such a thing!"

"Of course."

“So I kept my mouth shut but I seriously considered it. Which is why I need you to yell at me.”

Forging a Family

Naoki was not a happy camper when he got home from work. Nowadays it seemed like he rarely ever was. He never smiled, his jokes fell flat with most crowds, and he had this… knowing air about him. Like he could tell your deepest secrets from a single look. Granted, that wasn't far from his actual Quirk but he required contact to activate it. And it was foresight, not hindsight. The only secrets he would know are the ones that come back to bite you. And even then, he's not one to go looking. That was a lesson he's learned many times over, once at the cost of his livelihood.

It was taking everything he had not to scream as Yagi described the Sludge Incident.

“Just so we’re straight-.”

“We’re not.” Yagi snickered.

“This is no time for jokes! Some days I still can't believe I married such a dork.”

“Well, it certainly wasn’t for my looks.” Yagi deadpanned. “Perhaps for our mutual love of all things All Might.”

"Yagi, what happened out there?!"

"I wasn't on the scene, but I hear there were quite a few heroes trying to determine the best course of action while a young man was held hostage and slowly suffocating."

"They likely did their best. Not everyone can afford to be as quick and reckless."

"You think your former boss reckless?"

"Undoubtedly, but in this case it proved effective. So All Might swooped in and saved the day once more but I'm not seeing a problem."

"Your nephew has seen All Might's civilian form."

Naoki groaned, a deep and frustrated thing that had Toshinori laughing into his arm.

"You seem so burdened by the world's events that it's a winder you get any sleep."

"Some days, I wonder myself. You cannot honestly believe that this is anywhere near alright."

"Midoriya-san knew me already, and though I offered to stick around, she assured me it wasn't necessary. It's not like I intended to reveal such truths to the boy."

"And yet."

"Indeed… Izuku is a smart boy, and he's already got secrets of his own. If anyone had to figure out All Might's civilian form, I'm glad it was him."

"But we are definitely talking to Inko."

"Oh yes, absolutely. If only to make sure she doesn't chop my head off next she sees me."

Classic Key Visual Novel ‘Kanon’ Adding English Support To Switch Version

From Noisy Pixel

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the classic Key visual novel Kanon, Prototype has announced that the Nintendo Switch version of the title, currently only available in Japanese, will receive a free update, adding English and Chinese support.

Details on when this update would arrive were not provided.

The upcoming Steam port has been confirmed to feature Steam Deck and controller support.

Kanon tells the story of Yuichi Aizawa, a young man who stays with his aunt after his parents move overseas. Seven years have passed since he was last in this town, and his memories of then are fuzzy.

On the day he moves, a young girl called Ayu Tsukimiya bumps into him. Later, he will get to know other girls who’ll become important in his life, including his cousin, Nayuki Minase, who studies in the same class as him.

Kanon was recently released by Prototype on Switch, but that edition was only available in Japanese. This new Steam release marks the first time in 25 years that the game will have English subtitles as an option.

Kanon was Key’s debut title, with Jun Maeda at the helm of Makoto’s, Mai’s, and Sayuri’s routes while Naoki Hisaya handled the others. The duo had also worked together on MOON. and ONE, and are well-known for their relevance in establishing the nakige genre (visual novels that pull at your heartstrings).

Kanon will be released on PC via Steam at an unknown time. English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese subtitle support will be available.
