Battle Report: A Retrospective on the Final War Arc

The Final War Arc is finally over. It's been a wild ride. And while I had my issues with it, I ultimately think was a good arc. I think it may go somewhere in the 7/10 to 8/10 range for my tier list of arcs. Who knows though. With all of that done though, I wanted to take a chance to look back on this arc and talk about what's transpired. Now, is this a little premature? Kind of. At the time of writing and posting this, the epilogue is still going on. The series has not ended and any of my complaints may be null and void after all of this is over. However, the arc is massive. It's eighty chapters long with dozens of plotlines and characters all mashing up against one another. I want to take the time out of focus on everything that has happened and leave the epilogue to it's own post.

And with that context, it is a lot to cover. Even if it's not the epilogue, it's still everything from chapter 343 to 423. So this post is going to be more disjointed, stream of conscious writing about my thoughts on specific parts of the arc that are worth talking about instead of doing some deep dive on the whole thing. Sure, I think the civilian stuff with Eri and everyone else in the bunker is nice in it's own way and I think how the pilots are used is hilarious, but that isn't enough for me to talk about. If you want me to discuss something in particular or expand on something here, I may talk about it later or add it to the post. With all of that being cleared up, my retrospective on the finale of the Final War Arc.

Shoto vs Dabi: This is the first fight of the arc, and we are definitely starting strong. I've already gushed about how much I enjoy this bit ever since it happened, so I will keep this brief. Of course, seeing Dabi back and all of his spiteful glory is great. Though, if we're being honest, the real start is Shoto and his new Super Move. The Phospher reveal is such a cool power-up for Shoto, and it works great in so many ways. It's a unique and clever way to counteract Dabi's firepower without just trying to overpower him. And it all leads to this beautiful and distinct art of flowing ice. It's so cool. And the best part is that it acts as the perfect cap to his character arc of trying to define himself, combining the two halves of himself into a combination that is completely his own. That's not even getting into the numerous references to phosphor, giving this even more depth.

All For One vs Endeavor: In spite of having a lot of focus, I don't have a lot to say about the forest fight. It's a lot of the same stuff as the Tomura fight, though not as egregious. I will say that I think Enji's bits in this arc are rather underrated. Having Enji fight All For One is a good way to wrap up that part of this character, finally growing past his own insecurities relating to Izuku and All Might while still achieving something that would make him worthy of being the top pro. The flashback about his father dying saving someone adds so much context to who Endeavor is as a person, and I'm really glad we got it. And having Endeavor burn away the past version of himself is such a cool image and a good moment for his character. Honestly, I think Enji continues his hot streak as one of the best written characters in this story.

Tomura vs Everyone: I didn't much care for this part. It felt very repetitive. Characters attack Tomura. It doesn't do anything. Tomura starts monologuing. Repeat. They couldn't do anything to Tomura, but as Hori has shown, he's reluctant to kill off named characters. It's why, despite getting ragdolled, none of them died. It didn't feel like the threat of death was looming over any of them, making this big battle feel relatively low-stakes. So we're stuck in this cycle of Tomura beating all of them up for dozens of chapters, only for neither side to really get anywhere. It feels like we're stalling. That Hori simply needed Izuku out of the picture to delay the final fight for him and Tomura. Which, sure, I get, but he could have at least made what was happening with Tomura more interesting. What's worse is that this is so much time spent with AFO Tomura. A character who isn't nearly as interesting as some of his parts and is a watered-down version of both.

Spinner's Assault: This is by far the worst part of the entire finale. Let's ignore the politics and message and how they may or may not apply to the real world. This mini-arc is focused on Koda, Shoji, and Spinner. All characters I like to varying degrees, but none feel like they have earned this kind of focus. The whole mutant discrimination plotline feels woefully underdeveloped, so having it be the center point of this part feels jarring. And saying it only happens outside the city is such a handwave. Not only does that make no sense, as bigotry can happen just as much, if not more, in metro areas, but it has little showing within the world. Hori, if you wanted to set this up, maybe you should have actually had some major focus on stories out of the city. So having so much time dedicated to it just feels wasteful and frustrating. I could go on a longer rant, but I will save it for another time.

Bakugou's "Death": What a waste. Come on now, did any of you really think Bakugou died here? Or would stay dead? And having his resurrection tied to his clustered sweat feels like a slap in the face of Edgeshot. The guy who reduced himself to a thin string just to save Bakugou's life. On that note, having Edgeshot be the one to save Bakugou feels… out of place. Edgeshot is a pretty minor character with no connection to Bakugou. Many figured that this sudden change would lead to some boost for Bakugou, but it didn't. So why Edgeshot? Why couldn't Best Jeanist be the one to do it, the one that is more important to both Bakugou and the audience? And this doesn't feel like a major change for Bakugou. If you have your character die and come, there should be some greater change to them or how they act, but it doesn't. At least, nothing as major as a death and resurrection should have. The biggest effect it has is on Tomura, bringing him out of the control of All For One, and Izuku, showing that he wouldn't lose control and break again. Once again, Bakugou's grievous injury is more important to the characters around him.

Rewound All For One: One of the more controversial parts of the arc. Is it a reach for Garaki to make the drug? Kind of. Is it annoying to still have All For One around? To a degree. Does it lead to some frustrating moments like All For One not unleashing his biggest area-clearing attack to start with when he knows he's on a time limit? Yes. However, I ultimately feel as though this does more good for the story than bad. By giving All For One this timer, it gives him a more definitive weakness to exploit and a ticking counter in the form of his body degenerating. And by keeping him around, it gives him a chance to go against Endeavor, Toshinori, and Bakugou. That way, they're completing their own arcs without feeling like any of their efforts are wasted or overstepping each other's time in the ring with All For One.

Dabi's Quirk: This is going to be a more personal annoyance, but I'm really frustrated with how Hori handled Dabi's Quirk. First off, him instantly using Shoto's technique against him is such nonsense. You're telling me that seeing it is enough for him to replicate it with no training?And him suddenly making ice for himself also makes zero sense. He hasn't shown anything like that before, and nothing about his power implies that he could. And don't tell me it's literally Rei's Quirks, but that makes even less sense. I could explain that as an evolution of his ice resistance, but that's more me trying to make sense of it. Could you justify it as being Shoto's sibling and their powers having similar mechanics and traits? Sure, but a lot of it comes across more as a convivence to keep Dabi's corpse moving. At least his design is cool.

Wasted Students: While the manga actually does a good job of distributing attention, there are some students that I feel were shafted. A special mention goes to Sero, Ojiro, and Sato, whom Hori pretty obviously just shoved together to get them out of the way. The ones I'm thinking about are Iida and Momo. Momo was one of the 1-A characters who had some arc, so having her be relegated to a living printer feels wasteful. However, I can at least forgive this a little. Her moment was during the PLF War, and her position makes sense. But shoot, Tenya was done dirty in this arc. He doesn't have any really cool moments of his own and very little in the way of character moments. I thought he was going to have something done with Stain, but no. Most of his time in this arc is spent supporting Shoto, quite literally in the case of the Ice Jet maneuver. Wait, why was he even fighting Dabi? Tenya himself admits he's a bad match for this, so why was he there?

Shiketsu Students: This is one of the few moments in the arc that actually surprised me, and it's a welcome surprise at that. As someone who thought that the Shiketsu students were interesting but underdeveloped, it was cool seeing them act as reinforcements. What was even a better surprise was Camie's "Glamour" trick with the fake Hawks. That has got to be the funniest movement in this entire arc, bar none. Of the three, Inasa gets the most focus, and I think he does pretty well with it. While I do like his soft cap on his arc with the Todoroki's, reflecting his growth as well as their own, I really enjoy how much he just shuts All For One down this arc. All For One is trying to do these big speeches and one-liners, and Inasa is out here yelling him down like any other two-bit criminal. It's equal parts hilarious and awesome.

Tokoyami: On the flip side of my statement about students, I think Tokoyami is really good in this arc. Tokoyami is one of the less prominent characters in terms of development and actual emotional moments to support him. The arc did a good job of giving him some kind of arc for his character. About how he sees his powers and how hard they are to control. And I'm going to be totally transparent here, I just think full-power Dark Shadow is really cool. There isn't anything deep or nuanced here. Seeing this giant shadow mecha loom over the whole battlefield and make All For One go pale is super sick. It's not just all action and character, either. He probably had one of the best reactions to anything ever in the whole series when illusion Hawks "died". So in spite of my issues with the other students, at least Tokoyami was done well.

The Big Three: Yeah, I didn't really care for what was happening with a lot of the Big Three. They ultimately fall into the same issues as everyone else in the UA Battle Zone that I talked about before. And while their massive railgun attack was cool on paper, it all amounted to nothing. It all feels like such pointless fluff to tide the user's over. It's not even like they have anything interesting going on character-wise, either. Mirio is easily the biggest victim of this. Ever since Mirio got his Quirk back, he hasn't really been given any chance to act outside of the costume or really be his own character. Seriously, the biggest moment he has is him acting as the butt of the joke in order to distract Tomura so Izuku can get in. Was there really no better way to do that? And as much as I want to remember him for other stuff he did, like yelling at Izuku, there really isn't anything else that sticks out.

Gearshift: Again, a more personal gripe, but one that bugs me a lot. I really don't like "Gearshift" as a power. Like "Fa Jin", it doesn't feel like it expands on any of Izuku's capabilities, only doubling down on what is already there. Unlike "Fa Jin", this had way more potential that went unused. Being able to alter the speed of an object or person is such an interesting concept. And for all of the hype surrounding it, it doesn't feel like it's used to its full potential. Really? We couldn't think of a better Quirk for him. Or at least come up with something more interesting for this one to do? All it's used for is to give a power boost to Izuku and make him go faster. The only time it's used to do anything else is when he uses it to speed up Bakugou. Why couldn't we get more stuff like that? Or at least maybe giving it a chance to interact with Izuku's other quirks for combinations?

Gigantomachia Battle: I like this well enough. As much as the reappearance of what's his face frustrates me, that's more of a carryover from my problems with Midnight's death and not the fault of this arc. It's a good follow-up for the brief arc with Mina and I like how much her new move ties into their growth with its name. Plus, it gave Shinso a cool moment that felt natural without stepping on anyone else's toes. I will say that I'm pretty confused at the sudden turn with Gigantomachia, who only really seems mournful over what All For One did once. And the one time he did, it seemed more regretful that someone as pathetic as Tomura was the successor. Otherwise, he just seemed like a loyal thug without much personality.

Todorokis vs Dabi: For the dramatic resolution of the Todoroki family storyline, I find myself having very little say about it. It's good. I really like seeing the feral, demented version of Dabi who is barely held together. Enji's lines about people watching him and taking responsibility become twisted with Dabi's view of him and his actions. I like the monologue Shoto gives as he's flying to stop Dabi. I guess my issue is that the rest of it doesn't stand out as much to me. And the actual resolution doesn't feel any different from the way Shoto fought him. It came across like the earlier fight with him was just there to keep him occupied so Enji could fight All For One and didn't serve any real purpose for the characters. That there needed to be this resolution for everyone else in the Todoroki family and for Dabi as well, but doing it like this lessens some of the punch.

Uraraka vs Toga: One of my favorite parts of the arc. This entire section was such a dark horse for me, someone who didn't put a lot of stock in the Uraraka and Toga storyline. It shocked me how invested I was in the fight. Just seeing how hard Uraraka fights is so enthralling to watch, going through so much to help Toga. And this is one of the few points in the series where Awakenings work, with an Awakening that actually feels earned and relevant to the character at that. All because she wanted to help and connect with Toga in order to save her. And if Toga did die here, I wouldn't mind because I think it fits. She was able to live and die as her own person, making her own choices. All in all, it's a highlight of the arc and a great capstone for both of the characters.

Aoyama's Section: Why does Aoyama have so much focus on him? I don't dislike Aoyama, and I'm glad one of the more minor characters is getting attention in a way that feels relevant to who they are. I just don't think he really needed this much space to himself, having his own battlefield and major villain to fight, with little to no other focus on other characters. Having him stand up against All For One felt like more than enough of a final beat for his character arc. It was him acting in spite of his fears, facing down the scariest person in the entire series. Hagakure's presence bugs me here as well, since it just reeks of convivence. And man, giving out yet another Awakening? Were these not supposed to be rare? It's yet another example of an Awakening that barely feels any different from before and doesn't feel earned.

Toshinori Yagi vs All For One: Unlike a lot of fans, I wasn't as bothered by this part. On paper, Toshinori fighting All For One with a massive mecha suit kind of flies in the face of one of the core ideas of the series. That people without Quirks cannot be heroes. However, the story makes it clear that this is something that cannot stand up against All For One, requires all the resources of his decades of hero work, has decades of experience as the top hero, and he's only doing as well because he's fighting All For One because he's acting irrationally. My only reservation is that All Might is using parts inspired by the students. While I think these are cool, it seems like this is supposed to be his big moment as a teacher. And... I guess the story wants us to believe that. I don't know. It feels like Hori hasn't really put in enough work to have this be a satisfying payoff. He only really has two or so scenes involving the other students outside of Izuku. I believe he's a proper mentor to Izuku, sure, but as a real teacher for the whole class? Not really. Don't get me wrong, the idea and execution of it were fine, but the set-up needed more legwork.

Stain's "Moment": Yeah, this is something I can't forgive. Stain is such a major figure in My Hero Academia, both in and out of universe. He's the guy who changed the whole trajectory of the story and brought a whole new level of respect for the story. Hori brings him back to restore Toshinori's motivation and give them plans for All For One. And then he comes in for a big moment in the final fight. Only to be ragdolled, having accomplished nothing. There was no final moment of sacrifice, no heroic last stand. Just slapped aside and exploded. Not only does All For One's escaping feel like a mass convenience, just so happening to have a Quirk to push all the blood out of his body, but it's so disappointing for Stain. It feels like an afterthought. Like Hori remembered that Stain was around and threw him in to die. He doesn't even get a moment in the ghost realm. Come on, Hori. If you went through the trouble of having his Quirk stolen, why not do something more with it?

All For One's Backstory: Yeah, I still think this part of the story is hilarious. This is so over the top and dark that it comes full circle into being funny again. All For One's backstory feels like some edgy teenager fanfiction. Like he was born to a drug-addled mother, literally drained the life out of her to the point she died. He was nearly eaten by rats at birth, he was the real first Quirk user, he's been killing people since he was four years old. It was to the point that I thought All For One was lying about it to make himself seem cooler or more inhuman than he really was. But no, we're actually supposed to believe all of this and take it seriously. I really have to wonder what Hori was thinking with this. Is it supposed to show All For One as evil to the core? But doesn't that go against the idea that it's nurture over nature? Or maybe it's to show that the worst circumstances made the worst evil? Okay, then why is All For One so unapologetically evil, supposedly even before he was born?

Bakugou vs All For One: I find myself having very little to say about any of this. It's a big-ole fight scene with Bakugou and All For One. It doesn't feel like it really completes anything from Bakugou arc outside of his hang-up with All For One and All Might retiring. Yeah, I'm glad it got tied up and that Bakugou got to save Toshinori, but it hasn't felt all that relevant to his overall arc. Maybe I'm downplaying this a lot more than I should, but that's just how I see it. The only major hangup I have is with the whole "people wanting it bad enough changed the future for All Might." I chose to interpret this as more metaphorical than literal. Like everything that's motivating Bakugou is pushing him forward, or that all of the steps everyone took up to this point defied fate. Otherwise, we are getting into some stuff the series never talks about and never explains. At least this fight gave us the "Bakugou deals bonus damage to children" meme.

Dream Hawks: Okay, this isn't so much a real problem, but I feel like this is a big missed opportunity: why isn't Stain the one getting the vestiges to rebel? You know, the guy who had such focus and determination that he was able to ward off an entire squad of top heroes from attacking him with sheer force of will. The guy who ironically sparked a whole villain renaissance with his words about the rot at the core of the world of heroes. It'd give his death some purpose and give him one final amazing scene against All For One, giving him a chance to redeem himself after all the problems he caused the world with his dogma. Ironically, he'd be dying a hero and stopping one of the biggest threats to the world. But sure, give another scene to Hawks. It's not like he's been already been a heavy focus of the arc.

Izuku vs Tomura: We've been waiting for this fight for a while, and it did not disappoint me. Not only is the part where we finally get Tomura back, immediately making this fight far more enjoyable, but the fight itself is so cool. You can feel the struggle, exhaustion, and desperation in each of Izuku's panels. We get to see more of feral Izuku. Who doesn't want to see more of feral Izuku? What's better is that we actually get Izuku using some interesting strategies against Tomura, like pushing up the rocks to stop the spread of "Decay" while using it as cover to perform a counter attack. And having this be topped off with the sacrifice of "One For All" makes this all feel that much more harrowing of an experience, with Izuku piece and piece of himself just at a chance of victory. It's one of the few final fights of a series where I was actually worried about the main character.

Shared Dreamspace: This might just be my favorite moment in the whole arc. We get all the shared visions as our two protagonists begin to understand each other more. And for all of this talking, it never once tries to excuse Tomura for what he did. Even Tomura talks about how he doesn't regret what he's doing or why he's destroying everything. He's doing it all for himself and the League. And while Izuku can understand this, he can't condone it, and it doesn't excuse what Tomura did. It's a good way for both sides to get their points across in order to get some kind of resolution without feeling like it's breaking either of them. It's all about understanding and learning from each other, which is what this conflict has been all about. It's all so well done and pretty much exactly how I imagined a confrontation like this would go down between these two.

All For One's Return: Is it kind of frustrating that All For One has returned yet again? Sure. I can understand people getting sick and tired of him, now more than ever. However, I think it's explained well enough not to bother me, and ultimately, the only way for the story to have its cake and eat it as well. It's a clean way to remove Tomura from the story without having to dirty Izuku's hands. Tomura has made it pretty clear that he has zero intention of ever stopping, and redemption was not on the table for him. It also gives Izuku a final fight against All For One, who, while not as personal to Izuku, is the biggest evil in the series. On top of that, it fits with the idea of everyone coming together to be the greatest hero by getting their licks in on All For One. It's what the story has been pushing for the whole time: One For All fighting back against All For One.

Oboro, Aizawa, and Yamada: As much as I wanted to get excited about this part, it did feel woefully undercooked. Oboro's condition and Aizawa and Present Mic's reaction to it feel pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. They only get one chapter to hash things out, and it feels very rushed. Which is odd because it has some of the biggest impact on the arc itself, with Kurogiri teleporting everyone around and being the lynchpin in the two major paradigm shifts in the arc. It's Spinner's whole motivation for attacking the hospital, it removed Aizawa from the playing field at UA, and it ends up sending all of the doubles from the island to the fight in the forest. What we got was nice, especially Kurogiri saying he wants Tomura back when they are all fighting All For One, but sadly, it wasn't enough.

The Final Run-Up: Look, I am the biggest sucker for moments like this. Izuku is still standing in spite of losing both arms. Then everyone is coming out of the portals to the final fight, all firing out their attacks to go down. It's like Endgame, but actually thematically relevant to everyone coming together to beat the greatest threat to the world. And the part where all the good guys are helping the protagonist forward just so they can deliver that final blow. I can't help but feel hyped up as each of the other students and heroes fight back against All For One. We get All For One going out like a total punk. And we can share a final vision between Tomura and Izuku. I cannot say anything analytical or in-depth about this. I just think it hits all these different sweet spots in me while still ending things on a good note, and it brings me so much joy.

Imagine we get to the Paranormal Orphans chapter (410) in the anime, and instead of a normal narrator like Midoriya or AFO, it's just- Present Mic.

*Present Mic*

DAMN MAMA-RAKI! YOU REALLY GAVE BIRTH TO THAT?!

If only he was swept away by the river at birth and drowned- COUGH!!!

#the concept was funnier in my head #present mic spites afo at every turn and pities yoichi #has no idea about ofa and midoriya he just thinks yoichi is a poor person to be this guys younger TWIN brother #mic: *checking the papers* wait theyre twins?#the scary resemblance of Kudo to a known student (bakugo) but this kudo guy looks much nicer than “FIRST PLACE IS NOTHING” “DIEEE”#the raging Bakugo the public always saw #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #yoichi shigaraki #afo #all for one #spoilers #bnha spoilers #mha spoilers #almost forgot those had to be separate tags #present mic #hizashi yamada #i think that when we go to the past AFO should be the narrator #because then we get to see AFOs perspective twisting everything from what we actually see and later understand #that to fit everything into his Demon Lord persona everything must match the narrative #so he looks and things and changes it around to fit his being Demon Lord rather than a lonely man #“I loved my brother” ‐> “Hes my possession must keep alive” (quirk makes him want things he likes or is interested in)#(which influences how he shows love too. but it does say he was born an arrogant hubristic baby)#(so. is that afo talking or the facts)

MHA: Heart of Glass Chapter 5: Crystal Clear

The very next morning, Ochaco woke up at home, her beautiful dress from the night earlier on a mannequin nearby, with its many accessories safe in the drawers of her closet. And everything was business as usual, as if nothing had ever happened- well, almost. “Guys, I think had the time of our lives last night.”, Ochaco said over the phone, grateful to the friends who had accompanied her to the gala. “And I think that you have something to remember the party with.”, replied her mother as she pulled out one of the dancing shoes from Ochaco’s pocket. “Mhm. I have Best Jeanist to thank for all of it.”, replied the grateful girl as she held the shoe close to her heart. Although the gala was over, Ochaco’s memories of it were crystal clear, even going as far as to take many pictures of her and her friends enjoying the evening.

At the same moment, at U. A. High, All Might was busy pondering over the shoe he held, with its transparent blue hue, pearly pink satin rose, and glitter sprinkled throughout the footwear. “What are you doing, Toshinori?”, Midnight asked as she approached the number one hero in all the world. “You know, I think I might just have an idea on how to find the winner of last night’s sweepstakes.”, he said as he presented the shoe. “With a shoe? Ok, now you’re just being silly.”, replied Endeavor as he combed back his scarlet hair. “Nonono! What I meant was that we can go around town to find who fits the shoe, and whoever fits this very shoe is the winner of our sweepstakes!”, All Might replied as he presented. “You know; I think that’s a pretty good idea!”, replied Present Mic as he sketched out the plans. “Yes, but you have to consider the amount of people that attended the gala…”, replied Aizawa, gulping down a coffee. “I hope we can find the shoe’s owner.”, said Eri, holding a unicorn toy.

Mere hours later, Aizawa and Hizashi were running all across town, taking the dancing shoe near and far to be tried on by all the people in the city, just to find the winner of the sweepstakes. But they both forgot how many people were at the gala the night before, and they all wanted that dancing shoe. But no matter how big or small the size of their feet were, they couldn’t even come close to placing the dancing shoe on perfectly. “This is gonna take longer than we thought…”, Aizawa replied, seemingly close to giving up the search. They had gone through rich fellows, poor folks, youngsters, seniors, and everyone who had been at the gala the evening before- but none fit the dancing shoe. “You took the words right out of my mouth.”, replied Present Mic as they cleared out an area.

Finally, they came to the area where Ochaco lived, and were exhausted to the point of giving up, but they persevered and hurried inside anyway. “This very dancing shoe was left behind at the Hero Gala last night. Whoever fits it is also considered the winner of the sweepstakes.”, said Aizawa. “Then let me try it on!”, replied Twice as he excitedly ran forward. But try as he might, he couldn’t get his toes into the dancing shoe- because the shoe was tailored only for a specific person. “You know, Twice, you should really consider cutting off your toes. That way, it’ll be much easier to get your foot in.”, All For One said, taking out a butter knife. “What?! That’s nasty! I’m not risking it!”, replied Twice as he gave up easy. “Then I might as well try it on. After all, I might get the chance to finally attend U. A.!”, Toga said as she placed her foot into the shoe. Although her toes slid in perfectly, her heel couldn’t. “Toga! Do you mind if I cut off your heel to help fit?”, Overhaul said, holding the same butter knife that All For One held moments earlier. “What?! No!”, Toga shouted as she took the shoe off.

The duo was just about to leave the area, when a voice came over. “Wait!! We know the owner of that shoe!” It was Izuku. “Hold on, you attended the gala last night too, eh?” Replied Hizashi as he and Aizawa approached the gang. In seconds, they had brought Ochaco down, who was excited to place that shoe on her foot. “Go on, try it on.”, replied Aizawa as he showed the shoe. “Tch. There’s no way that a SCULLERY MAID like her can fit in that shoe!”, replied Stain as he watched onwards. The other villains laughed heartily, but their laughter soon turned to shock when the dancing shoe fit Ochaco perfectly. “It fits��!”, replied Overhaul as he fainted. “It fits!”, shouted Ochaco’s parents as they ran over, filled with joy. “It fits!!”, sang Best Jeanist as he appeared. “Then that means…”, replied Shoji Mezo as he walked up. “You won the sweepstakes!”, Denki Kaminari yelled. Ochaco smiled as she took out the other dancing shoe, much to everyone’s sheer delight and the horror of the nearby bullies. “This is amazing, Ochaco! You won the sweepstakes!”, cheered her father. “And the fact you and your friends will be attending the most prestigious school for heroes in the world… we’re so proud of you!”, replied her mother.

Ochaco just smiled humbly as she and her friends helped pack up her family’s whole apartment (As well as the dress she wore to the gala) so they could move to a neighborhood much closer to the school. And even better, they were escorted in a charter bus like no other to the school, where they would attend very soon. And so, a poor young girl with a beautiful heart ended up attending the most prestigious hero school of all, where she found the happiness she deserved. And everyone lived happily ever after- except for the bullies, who were now forced to do the same housework chores that she had once done.

The End

Busts through the door

Au where Personas exist in the MHA universe and all of Class 1-A slowly gets Personas over the course of their first year.

It is first to be said though that this is not the first time that someone was brought into the Velvet Room to fight against a threat endangering the world. It is not the first nor it will be the last.

This however, is perhaps the longest instance of Persona Users fighting a Threat and arguably the most dangerous one.

It should not be a surprise that humanity's downfall would come from a human. Though, many would go and argue that All For One is hardly human now. Instead more of a caricature of what is believed to be all the worst villains in media and blended together into a terrifyingly cruel and powerful man.

Across time, One For All users would take up arms and unlock their Persona to fight All For One in both the real and cognitive world, all passing down the Quirk in hopes for someone to beat All For One. At the same time, they pass down access to the Velvet Room and potential to unlock their Persona.

When All Might landed the final blow on All For One all those years ago, it was thought to be the end of the conflict and a final goodbye to the Velvet Room for quite some time.

That of course did not happen. All For One is somehow still alive, Yagi doesn't have a successor and can't quite use his Persona as he used to, and it is becoming apparent that this World is running out of time.

So Igor does what he does best, he looks at humanity, chooses one person, and invites them to the Velvet Room.

Ruin has once again threaten this world. And now, the world needs its tricksters to stop it.

------------

Shouta sighs. “I hope you all know the gravity of the situation.”

He flips through the papers. “Breaking and entering, Larceny, Vandalism, Computer Crime, Destruction of Property, Possession of Firearms, Involvement with the League of Villains, Obstruction of Justice, and Vigilantism. You all have a file and it’s going to affect all of your futures.”

He looks up at all of them. “Especially since all of you are heroes in training.”

The entirety of Class 1-A looked away from him. None of them particularly looked like the famed Phantom Thieves but it's always the ones you least expect.

Again, he sighs. "You all are incredibly lucky that you were allowed to be interrogated together. I don't know what Nedzu pulled to allow this but it's something that you should be grateful for."

Silence, before a quiet- "...Mei should be with us."

Shouta winces. "I am aware that Hatsume Mei is part of the Phantom Thieves but she was to be requested to be interrogated alone due to her separate crimes of both Vigilantism and illegal manufacturing of Support Equipment and Firearms. If you're worried for her then I want you all to know that Nedzu is making sure that the police won't arrest her for anything she didn't do and that she is getting a fair interrogation."

"How about Present Mic? What's going to happen to him?"

It takes all of Shouta's willpower to show nothing on his face. Hizashi is...What Hizashi did throughout the entire school year turned out to be a lot more than just "Figuring out who the Phantom Thieves actually were". He doesn't understand what Hizashi found and why he kept digging for more and why he continued to keep in touch with the people he did but he hopes- And he goddamn hopes that Hizashi did it for the right reasons.

There was a reason why he was here and not helping Tsukauchi with interrogation.

Instead of answering, he takes a deep breath. "Look, I can't help you if none of you say anything. And considering the present...circumstances of the world, you have to say something so that all of you may avoid jail time or worse. I can't guarantee that you'll still be able to attend this school, but I will try my best to protect all of you."

More silence.

"What about Shouto?" asks Kaminari. "What- What about him? He isn't here right now and- And I trust you Mr Aizawa I really do but we don't even know if he's-" Kaminari hiccups. "He got hurt really badly and we don't know what happened to him."

Kaminari looks at him with wide eyes. "Mr Aizawa is he-"

"He's recovering," he says immediately. "He's recovering and doctors are optimistic about him waking up soon."

Immediately, the entire class breath out a sigh of relief and god. That shouldn't happen. They shouldn't have to worry about their friend dying now. They shouldn't have to ever worry about their friend dying. He's trained them so that they can save people while also preventing their own deaths. So that this scenario will never happen to any of them.

So that someone doesn't have to see their best friend die in front of them.

Shouta can't help but wonder where it went wrong. When this year started, all of his kids were heroes in training, all promising, and all ready to do what was right.

Now he sits across from them interrogating them about Vigilantism and Association with the League.

"...Mr Aizawa?"

"Yes Midoriya?"

"I'm the Leader of the Phantom Thieves."

"Yes. You went and told us that the moment we first apprehended you all."

"Yeah. That also means I know how this started. And uh..." His student pulls on his sleeve. "Mr Aizawa, when do you think this started?"

Shouta thinks for a moment. "The Aldera Junior High Incident. A principal confessed all of his crimes regarding the mistreatment of students, bias towards Quirks, complacency towards bullying, and poor management of staff."

"Bingo. That's where it began. But uh- That was just our first successful mission. We had to go back and forth between it all so that we could succeed. To go and find a route to steal his Heart."

"And how, Midoriya did you manage to achieve that?"

For a moment, Shouta thinks Midoriya would close up again, that this was a piece of a puzzle that he had to figure out, but instead Midoriya talks.

"On my phone," he says. "There's an app. It's red and it has an eye in the middle of it. That's how me and Kacchan stole our former principal's Heart. That's how all of us were able to steal all the Hearts of our previous missions."

"...And how does that work?"

Midoriya leans back. "Mr Aizawa, I want you to first suspend all disbelief because if you don't then this is going to feel more confusing than it already is."

Shouta looks at his Class and sighs for what seems like the millionth time this hour. "I think considering the state of the world, I feel like I can believe anything at this point.

Midoriya nods and takes a deep breath. "That app is called the 'Metaverse App', and me and Kacchan got that app around our final months of our Second Year at Aldera Junior High."

Funniest thing to me about seeing Midoriya, Bakugou, Todoroki or any of the other male students being drawn and/or written older with undercuts a lot is that...

The adults don't have undercuts (I can't think of any who do) and the one guy who does have an undercut is TENYA IIDA WHO IS A TEENAGER.

Aizawa and Yamada had shorter hair as teens and as adults, their hair is longer!

#honestly i prefer my green bean with all of his curls #something about cutting curls makes me scream #like NOT THE CURLS LEAVE THE CURLS ALONE #undercuts aren't bad #but i don't think every male character would grow up and have one #iida would though #BECAUSE HE HAS ONE #just kiya's thoughts #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #midoriya izuku #todoroki shoto #iida tenya #present mic #yamada hizashi #aizawa shota #eraserhead

Predictably, Izuku nodded, almost hopping in place, confusion already forgotten.

“Can I seek, Mama?” He leaned forward, lips pressed in a pout, hands propped against her arms while still hopping in place, “Kacchan never lets me seek.”

“Sorry, Izuku,” Moving her hands to grasp his, Inko squeezed them reassuringly, “I want you to hide for me. It’s important, alright?”

The last thing that Izuku hears from his Mama is to hide.

Izuku is an earnest boy, a good boy. He takes those words to heart.

Could you please help me to find Fanfics where Izuku reveals the truth about One For All to Aizawa?

Or also some Fanfics where Shinsou is an idiot with prejudices towards Izuku but then they talk and he realizes his mistake and they are friends afterwards.

I don't care if it's long or a One-shot, thank you very much ☺️

MORE NAGA AU!

YO! IT'S ME AGAIN WITH NY RAMBLES!

Anyways! I have been able to think about it more!

Warning! Character Death! Angst!

Summary!

Before I ramble if you don't know about my Naga AU Izuku is basically a bitter person who has issues and after the events of the USJ and Sports Festival transfers to the Hero Course, albeit reluctantly.

Now Onto More Plot Points!

I was thinking about his backstory because I wanted it to affect him and have Izuku hold some hatred and disgust towards his quirk. Not by a lot, he learned to love his quirk overtime but in the beginning? Yeah. He did not love it. Here's what I gathered:

Izuku was eight when he got his quirk. He had four years of quirkless discrimination under his belt already, however, how did Izuku get his quirk? Trauma. A forced activation quirk. Izuku watched his father - yes Hisashi was a good, but still not often present, father - die in front of his face to gain the quirk.

His quirk.

Another plot point is that Izuku is a descendant of All for One and Izuku knows that. He watched as his father, another descendant of All for One, die in front of him because the man, in his last moments of life, told Izuku about his family. Why his "Papa was never often... around," Izuku activates his quirk and bam!

All for One is currently clueless that Izuku is even related to him, he only knows that he's the somehow related to All Might. Or so it seems.

Why is All for One clueless? Izuku never took the Shigaraki name. Hisashi knew he was being chased and when he met and fell in love with Inko, Hisashi practically begged to Inko that Izuku will take her name rather than his.

Inko and Hisashi are said to be married, they had their vows and everything but Hisashi made sure his status was single in fear of All for One, his predecessor, taking away their lives as well.

Once Izuku realized the absolute shit crap his dad's family was, Izuku deceived his own mother, and made her believe and still to this day say that Hisashi is working aboard and sending cards like he used to. If only she knew it was her own son sending those post cards in fear of her sadness.

Izuku carries the guilt and constant fear of not being able to protect his people enough, he already failed the adult naga, to not be enough. His dad died in front of him and no matter how cruel and cold he is to everyone, he's scared of not being able to protect those who are close to him. Those he cares about.

Heavy emotional trauma and healing.

During the training camp arc another plot point appears! I mentioned before about the ocarina Izuku gave to Bakugou! Turns out he also gave one to his mother, whose a nurse, and his mother, Inko, explains about the ocarina and why Izuku became feral.

The ocarina is a wind musical instrument originated from Central America! (At least, that's what Google tells me,) back to the story, Izuku's ocarinas that he gave to his mother and Bakugou are made by his scales. They are designed to only be played by them, if anyone else plays the ocarina, Izuku will assume they are in danger and then turns feral and goes, no matter how far, to protect them with his life.

This is one of those moments where we see Izuku explicitly show worry and care to Bakugou, who for the longest time thought Izuku hated him, and 'Bakugou smirks because a league member played the ocarina that was meant to be his.

The fact that he was kidnapped doesn't help his case. Bakugou just knows that once the Naga comes around, venom will be spreading around his fangs.'

So, yeah, the ocarinas Izuku makes are made by his scales. He will know when it's played and he will know if they are in any danger.

After the training camp, Izuku starts to mellow down a bit, still guarded but a bit nicer that when Izuku and Bakugou have their (other) argument. Izuku admits straight up, to Bakugou of all people, that he cares for their class and that he hates that he will never be enough to protect them. That he will have to see another person who he cares about die in front of him while he's weak and useless.

Izuku has a inferiority complex and it will show.

So far about the snakelets, I've confirmed about only four. A pair of twins, the youngest who admired the adult naga, and the second oldest who's a teenager.

I only managed to get a sort dynamic to the youngest, second oldest, and the adult naga. The youngest naga admired the adult naga and swore to be like him. However, once he died the youngest started to project the adult naga to the second oldest and the second oldest knew. And they didn't have the heart to reject that but they knew what the youngest was doing.

The adult naga came when Izuku was nine and was processing his quirk, he hated it back then, and when Izuku cried out of nowhere the adult naga appeared. The adult naga was like a father figure to Izuku as they grew together and when he died? Yeah, it was like Hisashi all over again but worse, Izuku could've prevented that.

Which is why Izuku doesn't like Aizawa, at first, his 'father' died for this man.

Aizawa is just wondering how he can get Izuku to like him (he has seen how he acts with Mic.)

Edit: WHY DID IT TAKE ME A LONG SECOND AS TO WHY IZUKU LIKES MIC?!

(The names Hizashi and Hisashi are so similar! (In spelling.) Which could be another reason as to why Izuku likes Present Mic!

Aizawa is sobbing okay -

That's all I have for the Naga AU, which isn't a whole lot, but hey having more of a general idea helps!

P.S I have been drawing the Naga AU Izuku and I will post it when I get it done!

Bye-Bye! This almost made half of my soul cry but yeah! Hisashi wasn't a bad father, maybe absent but he had a reason! Anyways - see y'all in the next ramble!

(I just love this bird okay! It's doing its dancy dance!)

#naga au #izuku midoriya #inko midoriya #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #mha aus #angst #hisashi midoriya #all for one #coko is back from the void #character death #character dynamics #aizawa in this au will sob silently in the corner because he can't get the green bean approval just yet #that yet is a very long time #hizashi yamada #GEMIN DRABBLES 。。。🪭🐈

MHA: Heart of Glass Chapter 4: The Gala

At the same time, at U. A. High, the Gala was just beginning, and the introductions were well under way when Ochaco and her friends got into the car and headed towards the beautiful building. The gala was the most important affair of the year, and everyone in town, whether they had a quirk or didn’t have one, was attending. All Might sat on a chair at one of the nearby tables, greeting each and every guest with his signature smile and a piece of advice on how to be a true hero. But beneath that smile and the charisma, he was sad, for he felt like the one who truly deserved to be at U. A. High wasn’t in sight. “What’s wrong, Toshinori? Ya don’t like the gala?”, asked Aizawa as he walked out onto the balcony as fireworks went off above the pair. “Don’t like the gala? You did amazing on it, Aizawa. But I’m really starting to think… we might never meet the someone who deserves to attend this school.”, he said, looking towards the night sky. “Perhaps that’s them, now!”, replied Present Mic, pointing to the car that was pulling up into the entrance.

As Ochaco and her friends stepped out of the car, she was the one to cause all of the ushers to go silent and stare at her and her friends. No one had seen such a beautiful young girl and her companions before, and especially with All Might, who couldn’t believe his eyes- especially since Ochaco was the one who helped with his tuxedo a few days earlier! And as they made their way further into the school, towards the ballroom, everyone around them fell silent in utter amazement. Ochaco looked around and beamed happily. Every beautiful costume the guests wore had her own personal touch to them, whether they be rhinestones, jewelry that had been chosen by her, and even the makeup that adorned the faces of the guests- they had all been done by her! And as they walked down the stairs, everyone stared at them to the point where they whispered words of amazement. Even the bullies didn’t even know what to say, as although Ochaco had put the finishing touches on their outfits, they still couldn’t get the words out.

Finally, All Might approached the kids, and bowed deeply as to show great chivalry. “Young ones, you surely have the most amazing outfits of tonight. Shall we-”, he began to say. “Dance?”, replied Ochaco, immediately taking Izuku’s hand. At that moment, the band began to play a jazzy ballroom mix once again, and the gang immediately started waltzing across the marble floors of the ballroom. “They’re all looking at you.”, replied Ochaco humbly. “No, young lady: they’re all looking at you!”, All Might said as the gang took turns dancing with the number one hero in the world and each other. “Oh, I think we just found our sweepstakes winner.”, whispered Gran Torino as he pointed out Ochaco to Nezu, who was admiring the kids, who were floating across the room as if they were phantoms. “It’s your fault, you blew our chances, Spinner!”, shouted Overhaul. “What?! That wasn’t our fault! They just showed up right outta nowhere!”, Spinner talked back. “Shhh!! You might still have that chance!”, All For One whispered. But as they watched the gang dance with the pro hero, their faces went from anticipation to seemingly near defeat. They knew that All Might’s heart was captured by the kids who entered.

After many hours of dancing, the gang stood on the balcony, sharing snacks and chatting like no other would. “That was some dancing, wasn’t it?”, replied Kirishima, doing a few quick stretches as he dusted off his suit. “You bet it was. I’ve never felt so amazing in my life!”, Ochaco replied, a smile crossing her face. “You bet. And they’re gonna announce the sweepstakes in a bit. Oh, I wonder if you’ll win! Say, you helped out everyone with their costumes, right?”, All Might questioned. Ochaco humbly nodded at the question. “She just wanted them to look AND feel their very best for tonight. It is a big occasion, after all!”, Melissa Shield said as she tucked away her bangs. A few more minutes passed, and then the moment of truth came- It was time to announce the winners of the sweepstakes. “Alrighty, everyone! It’s now the moment you’ve been waiting for!”, shouted Present Mic as he held up a shiny golden envelope, followed by the excited cheers of the guests. “And now, the winner of the sweepstakes is…”, but before he could get his words out, the school bell began to chime 12 o’clock- midnight.

And at that same moment, Ochaco remembered her parents’ warning. “Oh no…! We’ve gotta get home!”, she whispered to her friends, who all nodded to each other… and made like lightning and bolted. “Wait! Where are you going?!”, All Might said as the kids made their way towards the exit of the school. “No time to explain, we have to get home!”, shouted Bakugo as he adjusted his bow tie. “Our parents are worried, and we can’t leave them in the dust!”, yelled Rikido Sato as he stuffed his mouth with pastries from the buffet table. As the gang ran down the seemingly endless flights of stairs (While also trying not to trip and fall at the same time), one of Ochaco’s transparent dancing shoes flew off, and All Might managed to catch it in his hands. “Even without a shoe, we’re still gonna make it!”, replied Ochaco as the gang made it to the limo… just in time. As the limo sped off, All Might looked down at the single dancing shoe he had caught, and had an idea. “Whoever fits this very dancing shoe… is also the winner of the sweepstakes.”, he said to himself.

The shoe would determine who would win the sweepstakes, but it wouldn’t be easy.
