#mha gigantomachia

[sturthepotofmadness]

I decided to browse through some Ao3 tags and eventually came across the tag "Gigantomachia & Midoriya Izuku". I read the ones that got my attention and I noticed something: whenever Giganto finally met Midoriya, he eventually started calling him Little Lord.

And that's adorable. And absolutely hilarious and amazing.

(Mini) Curious Case of Gigantomachia: What Was His Role?

In story, Gigantomachia was the bodyguard to AFO, then to Shigaraki and walking powerhouse that the Heroes had to basically lull to sleep instead of fairly fighting himself.

But...was that his role since the beginning?

Personally, I kinda think not?

And it all stems from Chapter 57 of MHA~

Here, we get a glimpse of the future members of the League of Villains - all five who were very much influenced by Hero Killer Stain and would go onto become important supporting characters to the themes and plot of the story (except Mustard, RIP king)...

But, one would immediately take to noticing is that Gigantomachi is in this shot too.

Now, future villains being hinted at before their debut for many chapter is nothing new in manga, or Hell, even fiction. But, is odd but this debut is that it frames Machia as being, like the other four, a Stain supporter. And the above isn't the only time that has happened.

Earlier in the chapter, Machia is shown directly listening in on Stain's defeat and motive from the radio. Heck, this makes him above both Mustard and Spinner, who were only in one panel each in 57....

Which is why is feels so strange that this him listening and being influenced by Stain NEVER comes up again. He makes no mention of admiration about Stain nor really talks about it him at all. It was just...a thing that happened in story.

Which is baffling since chapter 57, really hammers in home how Machia seemed to be, alongside Dabi and Toga, among the most important of those who really listen to Stain and are villains going through with it due to resonating with some of his ideals.

Which leads me to this conclusion:

I don't think Machia was originally planned to be All For One's bodyguard - or that intertwined with him?

Instead, I think Machia's original purpose was to act as the 'muscle' for the Vanguard Action Squad. Presumably, given his size and design + as well as the fact he's still a naked giant in the woods, he would have been the Muscular of the group.

A gigantic wild man who, if the framing of Chapter 57 is to be believed, also agrees with Stain's idea that there are false heroes in the world or that things need to change. If I had to take a gander, perhaps he might have been the type of Villain who was ostracized for his size and Quirk, being mistakenly branded as a Villain and forced to live out in scavenge in the wild? It's certainly a possibility, though take note this is just my guess based solely off of Chapter 57.

As for why that didn't end up being the case, the best bet I figured is that simply Horikoshi might have found the idea of Machia being AFO's confidant much more narratively satisfying and opted to change the beastman's origins before his proper debut later on in the Shie Hassaikai arc. In turn, Machia was replaced with Muscular as the group's temporary powerhouse.

But, really ,that's just my guess of things XD It's always possible he was already slated for the bodyguard role and that this was just Hori's way of showing a sneak peak of things to come (even if it doesn't make sense in hindsight? Kinda?)

What do you guys think? Always meant to be a bodyguard to AFO or former radical Villain whose purpose was changed?

their darling with anger issues and an itching problem hcs

characters; all for one, shigaraki tomura, gigantomachia, dabi

♡ extreme anger issued reader, the reader itches their body when they get mad

♡ genre; extreme fluff, comfort, sort of cringe, idk i was mad and needed comfort from my villains <;/3

♡ extra; ooc all for one?

♡ note; i got angry from something and now im writing about it, also sorry for not posting fics!! ;( been really unmotivated and didn't know what to write even though i had a lot of drafts and asks with ideas already.

﹫ ALL FOR ONE; he thinks it's adorable when you get pissed off, and admirable when he sees you letting out your anger on a poor not-so innocent soul. he supports the whole idea of you killing someone (that's actually guilty of something) when you're angry. but he quickly realizes you're similar to tomura when you start itching your neck, your wrists, your arms, your calves, your scalp, etc.

ㅤwhen you start doing that near him he'll come to you and put his large hand on top of your head, pulling you closer when he put his other hand on your waist, and tug you into his embrace. smelling your hair and telling you to breathe slowly.

ㅤhe found out you have this problem when you were itching like crazy over not being able to do your hair right.

ㅤ“sweetheart, are you alright? ” he came up to you with a concerned face ( or a molded face with slightly frowned lips ) while he took your wrist to stop you from itching the side of your face. “huh? oh yeah! im fine, don't worry about it hunny! something just bit the side of my face and it was itchy. hehe ” you made up an excuse.

ㅤhe could practically feel your heartbeat going faster due to the tension. you smile while you grew nervous. you don't wanna make him worry, he's already too busy trying to make plans to end hero society. you don't wanna be a burden to him.

ㅤall for one lifted you up from the chair you sat on and hoisted your butt using his arms while your own was wrapped around his neck, your chin laying on his shoulder.

ㅤ“i know something terrible happened in your past for you to have this issue but i assure you i'll be with you every step of the way, and i want you to be beside me when i put japan onto it's knees. ” he told you in his soothing deep voice, you started tearing up. you pushed your face onto your husband's shoulder, feeling actual care coming from him.

﹫ SHIGARAKI TOMURA; whenever you get frustrated over the smallest things he'd look at you dumb founded before telling you to calm down while he wrapped an arm around your back and rubbing your forearm... as you itched away the skin on your wrists.. ( without him knowing )

ㅤhe only realized that you had an itching problem after dabi pointed out that you have one. “yo, shig. didn't know your bitch has an itching problem like you back then. ” “the fuck are you talking about, dabi. ” “yo ass don't know? she itches her skin each time she gets mad. ” your boyfriend stared at the black haired lieutenant. the fucking hell is this burnt fuck talkin' about?

ㅤhe didn't exactly know what to do; should he trust dabi and talk to you about it or just play it off as some weird joke. again, he didn't know what to do or should do. so he just checked up on you at random, ( surprisingly ) most of the times you weren't angry when he did. so of course he decided to just play it off as a weird joke dabi said.

ㅤbut one day he catched you itching your arm furiously as you screamed at an PLF worker for making an idiotic decision, he screamed at your name and you stopped itching and yelling at the unfortunate worker.

ㅤyou turned back to your normal nature clasping your hands and saying “yes, dear? ” flowers decorating your aura. “follow me. ” he said you gladly followed after shooting a quick glare at the person you were yelling at awhile ago.

ㅤwhen you and tomura were in a more private area you asked him if he needed you to help him with something.. or something - but he shook his head and placed his hands on your shoulder blades. “whenever you get pissed and start itching yell out my name, i'll be here to calm you down. ” “wh- what are you talking about? ” you start laughing off what your dearly beloved boyfriend told you, a sweat dropping from your face.

ㅤ“[your/name], you know what i'm talking about. ” his grip on your shoulders tightened. “hey you don't need to worry i'm fine! i don't have an itching problem! ” you smile warm heartedly. he took your arm and showed the red scratch marks on it. “eh- i swear it only happens sometimes, it's oka- ” before you can countinue your sentence he pulled you into a hug. mumbling comforting words in your ear, telling you it's okay. everything will be okay.

﹫ GIGANTOMACHIA; he didn't notice that quickly since of course, he's large and your height is not that able to compare to his. he found out when you were itching both your arms so strongly to the point you started bleeding, the smell of metallic and the sound of itching made him wonder. he looked around but there was no one there, it was just you and him. he examined you more and realized you're the reason why there's a metallic scent in the air and the sound of itching.

ㅤ“master... what are you doing? ” he asked, you stopped itching. “ah, machia i thought you were still sleeping. ” you smiled up at him rubbing your arms and pulling down the sleeves of your clothing. “master.. ” he frowned, while your sweat dropped. he lifted you up using a finger and laid you on the palm of his large hand.

ㅤ“master, you may always tell me if you have a problem you and master all for one know more than anyone i can defeat your enemies if any of you told me to. ” even when gigantomachia had a terrifying appearance, he's a sweetheart at times.

ㅤyou held his chin with your small hands are kissed his nose “thank you, machia. but i'm alright, really. it's just a small habit, it won't affect me that much. ” you smiled at him, a blush formed on your cheeks knowing he cared about you and would rather die than live alone if you or all for one left him, all alone.

﹫ DABI; “compress stop protesting, my bitch managed to hit more idiots than you. ” your boyfriend smugly smirked at his co-worker, while compress stared at him and sighed.

ㅤyou started itching your knees and legs out of frustration from not being able to full combo a song in pjsk ( project sekai ) a few minutes later you started itching your neck and the side of your face.

ㅤdabi started getting concerned, so he stood up from the comfortable sofa and went towards you. your boyfriend's arms snaked around your waist, placing his hand on your hip before he lead you to his room. dabi entered the room, his hand still on your hip while he turned the dim light on.

ㅤ“you okay, baby?” dabi asked, settling you down on his messy bed. your boyfriend's hands on the sides of your arms awaiting your answer. “i'm fine i just got a bit frustrated is all!” you replied, a sweat dropping down your face. dabi's lazy eyes stare at your face then slowly descended to your neck, he leaned into you and started kissing your neck and collarbone. a small blush appeared on your features, your face still frowning.

ㅤwhen dabi was finished kissing your neck, he pecked on your lips. “let's go to sleep early. how's that sound, doll?” he asked. “okay.. ” you said before dabi fixed your position on his bed. discarding his jacket, shirt and pants leaving him in his boxers. dabi placed himself beside you. you automatically wrap one of your legs on his waist and bundled up on his chest. your head laid on his masculine arm while his hand entangled itself in your hair, he put his free hand on your lower back moving it up and down.

ㅤnight's like these weren't that rare, but it didn't happen all the time either. so you enjoyed every second of it, and so did your lover. he cares, it's obvious. when later that night while you were asleep he put ointment on the places you've been scratching.

Taking my dog to the vet, he's due for his shots (WIP)

So speaking of villains we haven't seen in a while, Gigantomachia is here too!

Theory: All For One gave Tomura the Decay Quirk

I was thinking this for a while. Midoriya learned that Tenko was originally Quirkless, already being five, so there was no way for him to have the Decay Quirk; All For One gave it to him

Isn't it awfully convenient that right as Midoriya wonders "Who is this guy?", that All For One showed up?

All For One knew Tenko was a blank slate without a Quirk (yet, or at all).

Going back to ch. 235, we see that after Tenko was playing heroes with other kids, he got walked home by a man in a suit

Suit, shadowed face, hat, tall, and Tenko still has black hair? This matches this memory, and we can see there's a lot of shading in the palms

All For One walked home Tenko. He could've given him a Quirk during that time. Right after he brought him home, Kotaro got mad that Tenko was playing and talking about heroes. Already, while Kotaro is upset at him, we see Tenko scratching. According to Nao, his allergies got worse, and if he was just given a Quirk, his allergies could've been fueled by the new Quirk as his body adjusts

Even if it's just a mutation, we do know that his itchiness was related to Decay, since the itching went away after he destroyed what he didn't like (his Quirk revolves around de-constructing and destroying, so natural leanings toward those urges, etc)

Yes, Tenko's Decay may very well just be a mutation like Eri, but I just want to bring one more thing to attention about the theory (All For One gave Decay when walking Tenko home):

When Tomura used Decay and was fighting Re-Destro, back when he only had Decay, Machia was in shock, because it reminds him of All For One long ago. Not only his figure as a ruler that Machia remembers, but All For One could've done the same thing as Tomura (Decay), long ago

[ilentari]

A shifting of the rubble on the street up ahead broke Gigantomachia out of his musing, and he tensed, readying to face an enemy. There was a strange pattering, like that of little feet, as he drew closer, and Machia raised his fists, squaring his shoulders as—

A small child walked into view.

He stared in confusion for a long moment, his stance briefly relaxing. But when the child—maybe around four years old or so—looked up at him, Machia’s entire body went rigid once more.

He knew those blank eyes. That soulless stare.

Even on a face much younger than Machia had ever seen it, All For One’s visage was unmistakable.

Gift fic for @kstbj (that you’ve already seen but now it’s on AO3 🙈) Happy holidays! You deserve it and much more 🙌❤️
