I guess you mean this one?

It look similar, but it could also be just another quirk very similar looking. After all AFO has a lot of quirks which look samey.

Like it could be just air cannon being used differently or something like that, as Shigaraki is kind of propeling himself rather than float.

Besides is fun to imagine AFO being so petty that he would deny Shigaraki having his original quirk in any capacity just for the lols.

Does the UA data book acknowledge that "flying circles" was a variant of "Float"?

Here's a translation. So it's a quirk that works sort of like the way a double jump in a video game would work and allows you to float. Its pretty much a variant of Nana's just had rings when used to propel itself.

There's another panel i can't find where Tomura uses it too and you can see the rings around his feet.

But yeah

One thing less

Now I just need Nine real name

Fuck yeah, we're getting some content about Nine

I pray for getting his real name or something meaningful about him, but having anything at all will be good as well. Just imagine if we get new art of him... one can dream.

Also my baby Mizunami (Cider) made it too. We could also get some content for him hopefully.

If I had a nickel for everytime Johnny Yong Bosch voiced a badass white haired character with big pecs who ends being experimented in a tube I will have two nickels...

And I wish it happens more often

This is such a specific niche of characters I love.

Horikoshi didn't need to make him a prettt boy.

But he did.

And I thankful for the gift.

This was also the hair of a homeless man:

I saw this meme and it reminded me of them when I saw each photo😭

I hope it was just the wind that made afo’s hair like that…

I mean yeah I can imagine Dabi being such a petty bitch that he probably would feel happy to tell Shigaraki that, because on Dabi's mind that would be the first time he's the replacement and not the replaced one.

Also Shigaraki probably knew something after that retcon of him knowing AFO manipulated him all the time.

And by the way he kills Nine at the end of Heroes Rising he should have the idea that no one under AFO/Ujino command is truly untouchable.

Can you fucking imagine Dabi telling Shigaraki that he was made by Ujiko to be his replacement? That AFO had a whole group of backup children in case Tomura failed. That he was that disposable. Can you imagine Touya being made not once but twice for the selfish wills of another person, as a weapon? Never supposed to live and be human, just serve their selfish purposes? Can you—

If Aizawa says no he probably gets fired

i like how Aizawa is just okay with Nezu being there

JJK Phantom Parade just dropped the hardest artwork ever for Ino now he's going to be playable

Maybe I should start playing this game after all, when I buy a new phone at least.

About the game: it's an RPG that recreates the main storyline but also gives the option to play alternate vesions of events according the character you play as.

Junpei being one of them you can actually accept Yuuji's offer to go to the school.

I personally don't play the game, cause it doesn't run well on my phone and just not my kind of game in general.

But as a JJK experience seems very fun at least for the character moments and interactions. A friend of mine keep me in touch of how it's play the game.

I hope they add more Junpei exclusive interactions with characters in his route.

They also give us this art memory:

Truly though, that opening in season 1 featuring junpei laughing and having fun and being friends with the first year trio broke my heart when he died but how good of a life would he actually have had he become a sorcerer and gone to school with yuuji and co?

Like isn't it a huge thing thematically how sorcerers are doomed? And maybe he would have not been manipulated by mahito and played like a puppet but he would go to this new and shiny school and then be treated horribly by the system in place.

I kinda get what point you're trying to make here, but this is more about Kai character arc that the Hassaikai arc itself.

For Kai as a character I do agree on him not being as fleshed out as he could be (but disagree on the love part, I love him anyway so...).

The Overhaul arc as a storyline feels pretty consistent overall outside of thay specific part.

Besides you have to put this in the context of how it was published in the manga. Because by that point the Overhaul arc was at the time the longest arc of the series and go on for over a year which was a huge difference compared to everything else the manga had previously.

Besides is a known fact that Horikoshi wasn't emotionally okay during that time, and writing the arc with a very dark tone was not doing very good to his mental health as he said on interviews.

With that in mind it's totally possible that Horikoshi just wanted to be done with an arc that was going on forever and pass to something lighter in tone (main reason of why the school festival is almost cartoonish in comparison). That was at the cost of not expand on Chisaki as a character sadly.

As for the rest of your questions, it sounds like you don't finished the stoey of the manga so it might be spoiler so I couldn't talk about them without spoil some things.

ok so tell me if I'm wrong or overthinking this, but....

Does anyone else think Overhaul's ark was rushed and kinda half-finished? Why does every character have a fully explained back story that makes you love them no matter what, but we still don't know anything about Overhaul? Where did he come from? who are his parents? why does Pops' daughter not want anything to do with him? Is it just me? I feel like Pops neglected Kai as a kid. He's obviously mentally ill, and he had no care for that. where did he get his quirk theory from? When he said it, it sounded drilled into his head like he had heard it somewhere else. how is he connected to any of the AFO ark? he seems to be the adult version of Eri if she was never saved right? why did Pops find him wandering the streets? WHY?

Could you tell me your thoughts on Nine as a character? I rarely meet fans of his. If you would indulge me, How about a bit of a what if, where Nine replaces Shigaraki and Shigaraki is a footnote in Nine's story? IE, Tomura is a movie villain in this universe.

I can assure you it's the same for me 😅 Nine fans are a rare species, but here we are.

As for what I think about him as a character? Uf... where even start?

I really find him to be way more interesting and rich in themes than most people think.

On the sense most people seem to take him as a one note character whitout any interesting trait, and calling him incorrectly a "might makes right" guy which hey, is in part true but that's just the surface.

Another thing I don't agree with most people is that Nine ideology is a very basic "the survival of the finest and only the strong deserve to live".

That's not really true. There's multiple hints that reveal parts of his true nature, especially when we have his POV in his origin chapter:

It always istruck me how Nine claims that under his ideal world everyone should aim to make their own way to top by pure strength, but simultaneusly he steps to defend the people he sees as oppressed by an unfair society.

And while some people make the argument of "he only cares about the people with strong quirk", but think about this: how he even knows his friends for example were that strong even before meet them?

His story only show these persons at their lowest point on life, yet by pure instinct Nine decided help them and offer them a hand without really demand nothing in exchange.

When he rescued Chimera is particulary powerful because we know Nine gets ill by using his quirk, yet he had no problem on create a massive storm just to save Chimera from the people who intended to kill him for being an heteromorph.

I really think Nine uses his ideology as a sort of defense mechanism due the circunstances he lived through most of his life. Which is logical as he was an orphan abandoded at what seemed to be a public bathroom at birth, which is sick af.

And it also relates to this particular line of his chapter:

"Everything is already decided" while we saw him being a child alone and multiple ominous smiles.

It really gives me the feeling that Nine actually felt a lot of abandonement and insolation while growing giving him idea that only the strongest should rule over the world, but at the same it can't really take away his selfless nature.

The fact Nine knows he was being used by the doctor, yet the only thing he thinks about going through the process are his friends even correcting himself by say "is for create OUR ideal world" shows how much he actually values the people close to him, to what extremes he's willing to go for give them what he considers fair.

And it's so powerful how even with his body destroyed and crawling on the ground Nine still keeps moving by the sheer will to make real his dream world.

It's an interesting way in which he parallels Deku on how he fights even at the cost of sacrifice and destroy his body just for the people he loves.

Kinda ironic if you think about the fact Horikoshi make his way to try to portray Shigaraki as "a hero for villains" despite that idea doesn't fit him at all, when Nine was already an heroic villain who parallels Deku a way that is pretty organic and logical.

I said a lot of times how funny is that is a fraction of time Nine not only executes the same ideas and concepts the main stroy try to apply to Shigaraki, but he does it better.

Nine story is really the story of an underdog who starts from the very bottom, having a really tragic life that molded his vision of a flawed world that should be destroyed, yet he feels very human on the way he relates to people on the same situation and he will do everything for them.

Is what really sells Nine as a character for me. None of these things are stated trying to convince us they happen like with Shigaraki, with Nine this stuff just... happen. Is the most basic show don't tell.

I wonder were that subtle and smart storytelling went in the main story.

...

Oh also, as you asked about the what if scenario, I have a slightly different idea for an AU in which Nine position is inverted with Shigaraki.

But rather than make it a shallow rivalry (as the movie kinda implies they have) I was thinking: what it Nine intends to save Shigaraki instead?

As I said before, is part of Nine's nature to help people no one else would do.

If he found Tenko Shimura that day he will attempt to rescue him and protect him while living both in the streets as homeless orphans. Which is ironic because they're likely a very similar age, just with Nine being slighty older apparently.

And what if they both are later found by AFO and he has ideas for both of them?

AFO will still have his main plan to make one of them "the next me" like in canon, in this case Nine being the candidate because our potato weirdo projects himself and Yoichi into Nine thinking the child is what both would be together.

Problem is... Nine isn't a emotionally disturbed kid who can be manipulated by AFO bs, so obviously when he realizes what are the man true intentions Nine will rebel and fight back. Probably escaping, as he and AFO aren't really compatible at all.

It's ironic as AFO is actually what Nine tried to convince himself he is, but in reality AFO is a selfish lunatic who only uses everyone for his own sake. That would make Nine have a lot of introspection and realizes he doesn't want to follow AFO steps, and neither wants Tenko/Tomura to have that fate.

But as probably Nine could escape alongside Tenko, he becames the next big opportunity on AFO plans, being manipulated into something similar to canon or even worse.

While Nine will still fight and try to save the kid he helped that day, perhaps he will came to late and if something like the island incident happens but using Shigaraki as the villain there, he probably will die being a defining moment of Nine developement as a character.

...

Well that was a bit long.

I could write even more, but that would be me going crazy and making a long bible lol.

Hope you enjoy the what if scenario. It's a bit improvised because I didn't think about the details yet, just a very basic storyline structure.

Drew a little Naoya sketch as a break from the art I’m working on

Deku, we know you're into the sexy italian butler. But you shouldn't grab his tits like that.

Izuku is a menace...

Shinso also got the waist reduction lol

And the most obvious example of this trend is Dabi

His body is totally different in the anime than what it is in the manga.

I find funny how the anime constantly makes Shigaraki look like Lou Ferrigno in terms of muscles, in some cases his head looks like it doesn't belong to his own body:

But then you have Horikoshi drawing him like this...

Like sure, the muscles are still there but he's not this giant hulk with biceps the size of his head.

Even the manga in the first war arc doesn't have him looked like the anime does:

And I remember even the wiki copes with the idea that the surgery was supposed to give him extra muscles, but that was never stated officially and in any case his natural muscles came from the training in MVA.

Idk what's this obssesion the anime has for making all male characters buff as hell, even Dabi when canonically he's also a pipsqueak.

Believe me, I was trying hard to not give him a name that means just cloud/storms/lightning (and none of the options with those words sounded good in my opinion).

But the fun thing is: Technically his nickname is already related to his quirk.

To be more precise the name Nine seems to be a reference to the term "Cloud Nine" and not just the number of the experiment he was part of as much people (including myself at first) seem to think.

Because at least according to the TUM chapter featuring Nine and his crew, they already used the nickname to refer to him, and keep in mind this happened when Deku and Bakugou were in highschool much before the expeirment happened

And it kinda makes sense, because in the movie it kinda feel weird that they only refer to his friend as "Nine" as that would be sort of distant and cold if it just was a lab term.

The idea of he using his nickname based on the term Cloud Nine also fits with the bit of info given on Slice character page, in which she comments Nine appreciates quirks more than names or something on those terms. So it would make sense if he prefers base his identity to his weather quirk.

The fact Nine is also the 9th experiment seems to be a fun coincidence in-universe for the lore.

...

P.S: I might consider using Insta to read those stories.

Have you ever thought on names for AFO and Nine?

As sadly canon never gives us something for them, and sometimes feels bad just call them by their nicknames.

I had some ideas for names for them, despite I suck for making names with japanese meanings lol. But I've tried anyway.

For AFO I like the name "Reiichi" as I read it can be interpreted as the "zero" or the one that started everything in the context of the story. And just because it sounds cool and imposing.

For Nine I like give him the name "Yoriichi" which according to some sources it can mean "divine" which is kinda fitting for his character.

Not only that but I like the simple fact that Yoriichi sound like a combination of Reiichi and Yoichi, as you probably know I'm a sucker for the idea of Nine being related to the Shigabros.

And like that all them have names ended with "ichi" how cute.

As a weeb I decided to learn a tiny bit of Japanese…since most mha characters names are somewhat simple and direct translations. For example kaminari is literally just “thunder” but I think adding that to Nine would be too easy imo. However it’s not the first time a character shared a common word in their names weather or not they may be actually related (EX: kendo rappa & itsuka kendo)

I know sora: sky, haiiro: grey, tenki: weather etc etc

I was messing around with the translator and got “雲雷/unrai” which is cloud weather or something in english idk but I’d assume nine would’ve gotten something directly related to his quirk. But maybe his first or last name could be different and be related to the shigaraki’s? …I still want to think they’re related somehow

For afo specifically…I kinda like that his name is a mystery, before he was always seen as some odd mysterious villain. Kinda same for nine but the whole weather manipulation was a part too.

but I guess anything could work now since it’s not like we are ever getting any official confirmation T^T

—————

Oh I also made this photo for a instagram story uhhh yeah

Thinking about how Nine literally has the smile of Yoichi...

Secretly Nine is just a himbo

They seriously deserve to meet each other.

Give us the Shigaraki family reunion please 🤍🌩

Or just say Kai is another son born outside marriage, after all Chisaki looks more like a son of Kotaro than Shigaraki ever did.

Hell Kai IS the perfect son for Kotaro.

They would make a hell of a father & son duo and Kai will actually make Kotaro feel proud of being a dad.

I hope they get together in their next life or something like that.

... Wouldn't it have been a lot less convoluted to just make Tenko a biological relative of Overhaul's with a very similar quirk? Like, through his mom or something?

Introducing the Shigaraki family

We have:

One angry dad

One angry mom

And their angry son

Why are they so mad?

Thanks spinji 🤍

Have fun!

I haven't seen anyone commenting about something weird on how AFO is represented in the recent art by Horikoshi:

That being the fact this is the "prime" version of him with his face restored, but wearing the final war outfit and maskless. Something clearly not possible in the story itself, as obviously that outfit was gone when he used rewind on himself for avoid die by the fire of Endeavor.

But the interesting part is that this isn't the first time Horikoshi draw AFO in this particular way, mixing his restored look with the purple jacket outfit.

The other time was in that cover in which he's facing Deku (a battle that never happened in the story, or at least not directly against his main body).

In that other art AFO also has a unique look for his mask not being seen in the story, that looks vaguely like it was still broken and almost melted by Endeavor but pieced together again while still being red hot.

Also do you notice in neither of those arts AFO has the rewind effects over him? Considering it was the plot reason he recovered his face in the first place, is a bit weird that the art of Horikoshi doesn't present him being under rewind.

And yeah I know all this can be attributed to simple creative freedom and Horikoshi though mix both designs was cool or something.

But I can't help and make my theories about this.

Can these arts be a sort of "what if" scenario?

As I said before is interesting to remember that Deku never actually fight against AFO directly on his real body, they never even encouter each other in that state for that matter, they only interacted via ShigAFO.

So maybe Horikoshi at some point had a totally different display for the final battle? One that involved Deku vs AFO and a different use of rewind.

Considering in both arts "prime" AFO appears maskless with his outfit intact, I wonder if the real revelation moment when the heroes managed to destroy his new mask wasn't seeing his potato face, but he already got his face restored offscreen.

Which could also explain why Horikoshi didn't drawn AFO with the rewind effects in the art. As probably the idea of him being on a time counter that will banish him wasn't originally part of the story and only was a leter addition.

So in this alternative scenario rather than go back to fight ShigAFO directly, Deku instead for some reason ends up in front of the original AFO and they have a real battle, just as it was represented in the cover art.

Don't know how the story should continue from that point, as it probably would change a lot more of how the rest of the final battle will play.

Did a thing...

"Incorrect" basically means what you said, that being ships that piss off the fun police of the fandom lol. For me there's no such thing a incorrect ships, is just fiction and people is free to enjoy whatever they want.

Anyway, I made a quick comparision between manga and anime design for Kokichi:

It's a subtle difference, but is funny how in the anime Mahito give him a 4 pack and small pecs while in the manga Muta is still a stick figure.

And what a work of art 😅 Kokichi looks hot as hell either form.

And wherever there's tension, sparks fly. Those are just the rules, right?

Of course! And your own analysis on the ship it's really on point ☝️

They not only look delicious together, but the pair is surprisingly rich in themes and concepts despite their limited interactions. It even gives the chance to explore other angles for Mahito than most of his ships.

As you said this situation is clearly fucked up, and poor Kokichi might feel guilty because the first 'person' to give him the chance to experience such emotions and pleasure is Mahito. But given the chance it can also allow Kokichi to explore his own darkess desires.

I imagine something like he deeps inside would have a spin for being a bit rude to others due his own way to live all his life, but he could never do something like that to Miwa who is so sweet and pure that he would repress any kind of thinking about it.

But with Mahito? No problem!

All the opposite, Mahito would tell Kokichi during sex "Pull my hair" or "Harder!!!" so Muta can unleash all his repressed desires without any guilt about it.

Mahito may be ended up being adictive lol.

The way his CT gave kokichi the ability to enjoy the moonlight on his skin. Ughhh. I'm just imagining mahito being obsessed with kokichi's new found abilities to enjoy the body he is in.

Who knows? Maybe the first thing they could do together is take a bath in the nearest lake just being covered by the moonlight 😌 Mahito wanting to clean Kokichi of all the medical solutions and chemicals of his old bathtub, so he washes him kindly while Muta is a bit overwhelmed by all the sensations.

And thank you for take your time for answer! Glad you also liked this really obscure and unknown ship.

P.S: I also try to figure how the ship should be called. MechaHito? Is hard to came with a good name lol

Speaking of incorrect ships: there's a lot of Mahito/Junpei but not so much Mahito/Mechamaru, considering Muta is his other well know victim and they have that very sus scene in the bathtub.

Lol you have to love how the anime unlike the manga made Mahito give Kokichi a body with some nice muscle lines. Any reason in particular?

I think about this ship as some kind of "enemies with benefits" in which both can get something good from the other despite not like each other.

Kokichi never experience real pleasure obviously, and Mahito might as well have some kind of awakening after repair Muta's body. A kind of "usually I despise humans, but you're my creation and feel different somehow 😏" mentality on Mahito part.

So instead of fight to death, Mahito give Kokichi an offer of experience each others bodies and he ends up accepting but full of doubts. Inside he wants to live and reunite with his friends and gf, but if the strategy works he might get a good experience out of it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by incorrect ships, I'm guessing you're referring to the ships dubbed wrong-bad-wrong by the puritanical fandom goers because otherwise I don't subscribe to an idea of correct/incorrect ships. (This got rambly but I wasn't sure what you meant by it, and I'm genuinely perplexed)

But you've opened my eyes! I know that junpei/mahito is an obvious ship even though there's very few fic but I never even thought of mahito/kokichi. They are so delicious!

I haven't paid much attention to the changes in kokichi's muscles in the anime and manga when idle transfiguration gives him a body, so I'll take your word for it lol.

I absolutely LOVE the enemies with benefits thing you pointed out!! Idk if you can tell but I'm very excited about this ship. Firstly because it's something new to me, I never thought of them. So thank you for showing me the way, lol. And secondly because they are just so so soooo good together!! Kokichi striking that deal with kenjaku and mahito knowing what he is signing up for, and then getting his body and honestly that battle with mahito was a very tense watch. And a read! And wherever there's tension, sparks fly. Those are just the rules, right?

I love that dynamic of being something because someone else shaped you into it and the mutual obsession rising from that. I absolutely adore mahito being obsessed with his creation. Something that he didn't distort and twist into something abhorrent, something that is whole. The first thing he created that didn't put misery out into the world. The way his CT gave kokichi the ability to enjoy the moonlight on his skin. Ughhh. I'm just imagining mahito being obsessed with kokichi's new found abilities to enjoy the body he is in. Zeroing in on the sensations and the pleasures that kokichi can feel for the first time. Feeling some kinda way about being the one who made it possible for him to feel them. It's all so goooood and fucked up. I love it.

Thank you so much for putting this on my radar! I'm going to be thinking of them for a long looooong time.

Cloud boy

He's so big 🥲

Speaking seriously, he seem to be a big guy in general not just tall. These panels in particular always give me the feeling he's a very big guy despite not having a physical enhancer quirk.

Also he already got nice muscles despite being homeless (?)

And his shoulders are wide 🤭

Our boy was working on those streets.

Imagine how much bigger he would be if he had a proper home and family growing up.

wide nine

Ok it’s just the camera angle making him that way but according to that wiki site he’s 6 ft 2 so he also tall

not afo tall……but still

he ate all his fruits and veggies growing up 😌

…despite the fact he probably had no one take care of him growing up, poor nine baby 😔

just found this photo and I just think he look silly

It's the birthday of my other all time beloved baby 💜

Happy birthday Kai my dear, you deserve the world ✨️💜

My only reason to watch JJK post Shibuya

naoya

If you were to turn 9 and his squad into main series villains, how would you do so?

Tough question actually, because there's a lot of different things you can do with a group of characters like them.

And I don't want to make the classic "role swap" in which everything in the timeline is almost the same minus which characters fill X spot.

For Nine specifically, I would start his story right after Kamino and the defeat of AFO.

An idea I would like to play is he and Shigaraki could actually act as rivals of sorts when AFO is out of the picture (but he would still have a part on the story).

As both groups will start from the very bottom without much resources, and Nine will have his empty copy of the AFO quirk to fill with new quirks different than the canon, perhaps only keeping the more iconic ones as Hydra just because is so cool.

Actually the quest for find the ideal quirks and one that solves the cell degeneration would be an important part of Nine developement, rather than just happen offscreen.

As for what new quirks he could steal, that's not something I don't have very clear yet (so I accept suggestions) but one of them would be Dabi's blueflames. Lol I just want see Nine with epic blue flames.

...

Oh and an idea that always loved is that Nine needs another rival that isn't just Shigaraki, but someone else who is his direct opposite in terms of world view and ideology.

And that's no one else than Overhaul

Think about it, Nine and Kai are just the perfect foils for each other.

The concept of a quirk supremacist and an anti-quirk believer having a ideological (and literal) war for control the underworld and reform the world into their own view could be epic.

And for that to happen obviously we need to keep Kai as a recurring villain for most of the story. I would create a dynamic where a lot of villains groups will have internal battles while at the same time the heroes are another problem to deal.

But wait, you need soldiers for that to work.

And what best army for Nine than the one which literally believe in quirk supremacy?

Look I will die on the hill that MVA as a concept for an arc is literally made for Nine and his team.

The idea of Re-Destro wanting to contact a villain group that is getting more recognition and in the end they found common ground due beliefs fits way more with Nine than it does to Shigaraki.

I mean it's obvious, Nine is basically the living incarnation of all the ideals of the original Destro. If his descendant meet him he would instantly adore Nine.

...

So that's just a part of all my ideas.

I would like to better put them together into something more consistent. Need to work on it, perhaps some day I will make a story based on this rewrite idea.

Considering Jin genetics were dominant over Kaori Kenjaku in terms of hair (and everything else for the matter) is easy to assume Yuuji would be no different if he has childs.

Perhaps a child of Yuuji could have a different shade of pink, something much more pale (in reference to how usually Gege makes his hair look blonde in his covers).

Hair aside, the child definitely would have Junpei eyes and lashes.

Itajun Mpreg

What do you think about a child between Yuji and Junpei?

What color would his hair be,?

pink or brown?

i need your answers!
