Surprising how there's so little crossover material between both series, when KNY is like the easiest story to adapt into Avatar style.
Sanemi as air monk is so funny however lol.
Hello I've lost my mind ✨✨✨
I'm working on a few team avatar drawings for this au. I have such bad brain worms for this au omg my ramblings will likely be in the next post :)
It was kind of a cheap explanation to justify the fact AFO and Yoichi look nothing alike. I mean even when non identical twins are far more common than identical ones, the nutrients thing still is a very dumb excuse.
Kudo not being Bakugou ancestor is another cheap attempt of plot twist or subvert expectations, just because Horikoshi can go with the whole "AFO is so mad at Kudo after 100 years that he projects his image in this random boy who looks like him". Is like a cheap imitation of the Yoriichi/Tanjiro dynamic with Muzan in Demon Slayer.
Funny how people call Nine to be emotionless, but he actually is a very passionate individual for his friends and ideals.
Shigaraki VA voiced Rui, a well written character I love. How ironic.
Canon possum is a joke but one thing I never forget is how decay IS powerful, sure a powerful quirk with an idiot is not a good thing in many fronts but...
Cinder (I'm loving him already) has to know a guy who can decay stuff with one touch even if he is an idiot.
Would cinder be worried about the quirk ?
Again, shig is an idiot and a bad leader and all that but one thing we can't deny is he knows how to fight.
So I think cinder would make a point to avoid him like the plague.
In canon Cider is the kind of person who knows he shouldn't bite off more than he can chew, since after all his plan during his debut was to steal during a very specific moment in which heroes aren't present, so is more reward without having to fight and less risk.
It was just a coincidence that A.M was there with Bakugou and Todoroki.
I guess his mentality also applies to fight dangerous villains, and the lov had some big names attached them. Their reputation probably was enough for Cider to not have his gang involved with such group of psychos.
But... I disagree on Shigaraki being a good fighter.
Maybe before all the bs power ups given by the doctor he at least knew how do surprise attacks and such, but Decay being such a one-dimensional quirk also means the user doesn't require a lot of skill to put it in use. It is basically just run towards the enemy and touch for instakill.
Which became even more braindead post awakening. Like even Overhaul has more room to be creative and need skill to put in use.
Decay is just a broken and boring quirk that requieres nothing to be effective. Crusty asshole somehow manages to be more plain than he already was at first, is like he evolves in reverse.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NINE!! You insane quirk experiment(affectionate).
Kinda ironic and poetic to think despite being one his favorite quirks, AFO probably has no idea about spearlike bones being his mother's quirk.
I mean realistically he doesn't have any way to know it, but I think he has an unconscious sentimental connection with his mom quirk as corny it sounds.
His favoritism even seem made him collect quirks that resemble spearlike bones in look and functionality, such as Rivet Stab and one unknown "drills" quirk. Both used at the same time during his last battle with All Might btw.
Also how we can forget the fact spearlike bones is also the last quirk he ever used? (On his original body at least)
Horikoshi definitely knew what he was doing here. I can't help but think it's brillaint despite the whole story is far from perfect.
I know! Nine in general would be an awesome villain for the main story, I'll die on that hill.
At the same time if AFO actually had eyes and was able to see Nine directly, he would have ended up in a vault Lmao. No way our dear demon lord let the perfect Yoichi clone to escape.
Horikoshi actually likes to imply a lot the idea of AFO projecting his obsession with Yoichi in different persons, like Shigaraki for example (even if in this case the parallel doesn't work quite well as with Nine). Or in a lesser degree with Dabi too.
We have panels like this as well:
And of course Nine and Shigaraki share their own set of visual parallels, which for a story standpoint makes sense as they're both in the same line of numerical experiments (another subplot totally wasted btw).
In general it feels like all this details and parallels were part of a bigger storyline that was cut short in the end, never reaching it's full potential (Shigaraki doesn't interact with Yoichi either for example).
So anyway we were robbed of having a big and interesting subplot with all the members of the Shigaraki family. Is a shame because it feels like AFO could have been a much more fully fleshed character.
MHA fans shouldn't ignore how beautiful Nine is.
Have you seen how gorgeous this man looks?
He should be bring into conversations about the most pretty male character more often.
Especially when Horikoshi draws him.
I don't think this need more explanation, Nine is something else.
Can you develop a boxing AU between Izuku and Yo Shindou? Like Yo Shindou tries to concentrate on the fight, but gets distracted by Izuku's muscular body and Izuku's determined smile. (Please answer my question)
Oh this is sure an interesting scenario, but unfortunately I don't know anything about boxing beyond the most basic concepts so I don't think I can do justice to the idea.
But let me tell you: I love YoDeku/ShinDeku or YoIzu, whatever name you prefer for the ship. Yo and Izuku would have a lot of chemistry together I and love seeing healthy interpreations of them.
For this AU in particular (or just in general) I imagine Shindo being a bit surprised by the contrast or Midoriya "cute" and soft face that isn't very common on the boxing world, compared to his well trained body.
And Midoriya wouldn’t ignore Yo's muscles either, let me tell you.
Exactly! Also Nine isn't the kind of person who would find value on brainless goons like the nomus.
He would trust on the spirit and loyalty of real people.
This scene lives rent free in my head 🫣
Also I wonder why Nine is nude inside that tank but Shigaraki was using a swimsuit in the same situation:
Ujiko is such a naughty bastard lol.
It is both probably, the perfect combination on Cider's eyes.
I bet even their neighbors can hear then lol. The administration of the building have problems renting the apartment next to them for a reason.
Izu using Cider's blue tank top is an image to keep in mind, especially if she's only with her underwear showing her full legs.
The whole cinderIzu is great and I welcome with open arms. For my au, I have an idea for them meet.
Again, BK is a footnote in her life and Izumi is not dedicating all her time and energy in thinking of him. (She hears how his quirk remains the same, no quirk awakening bs, how bk's attitude got worse and how Aizawa is sure BK is the future)
Izumi hears about the mpa here and there and ...is not impressed. She needs money, her group can't work by luck...they need ration and more, and Izumi is not happy ReDestro has "schools" for kids to learn their quirks...its just a camp where the kid learns how to use their quirk AND NOTHING ELSE (Geten my be alliterate here)
Stealing from Redestro is not something she can pull off on her own. She needs help to do this heist.
(the quirk schools aren't illegal, per se, but it rubs Izumi in the wrong way. She is right)
Enters Cinder. He shows up with his helmet, all gear up and...well, he too needs money and Mr. Youtsubashi is loaded and if he wants to make quirk schools, fine...let's rob the fucker.
Izumi gawks as Cinder removes his helmet. He is handsome and cute...she wasn't expecting this.
Lol
(I love a good mask reveal!)
I also live for the moments when a character takes of their mask and reveals to be hot, and Cider isn't the exception. I mean can you blame Midoriya for what him?
Note: Izu probably loves in particular the little scar Cider got in his eyebrown, he/her found that detail to be especially sexy.
...
Is funny you mention the whole plot of Cider helping Izu to steal stuff from Re-Destro company, as I also have this idea of him making an operation to steal from a werehouse full of valuable tech and support items that Detnerant (I think that's the company name) sells into the black market.
They would have success stealing a lot of merch they later sell to get money, but also Cider found a particularly expensive prototype of a high tech glider he decides to keep for himself and use to compliment his surfing style. As Mizunami is really into surfing in my AU, like he seems to be in canon.
Oh I forgot to mention before but the vigilante name Cider/Mizunami will use for my AU will be "Splashdown". Be free to use it if you like the name.
And since you mentioned Geten here, do you think he will have some role in the story? As I mentioned before I love the idea of Cider being a Himura, but also he probably was rejected by his clan because his quirk is water instead of ice and the Himuras seems to be the kind of elitist jerks to would dishonor a child for born with a "imperfect" quirk.
Which would create a lot of tension between Cider and Geten, especially is they reconogice each other. Geten hating Cider for being "a failed Himura" and Cider will hate Geten because he's just a "an attack dog" for Re-Destro.
I have a headcanon of Izuku being more muscular than Shindo, I have one where he carried Yo without any difficulty (Without using One for All) and this left Yo surprised and even embarrassed, Izuku laughs at the scene and kisses Yo on the cheek. What do you think of this headcanon?
Even looking at their canon body types Midoriya seems to be more bulky in terms of muscles, while Shindo is more tall and slim.
Besides Shindo doesn't really specializes in raw force, so it makes sense for him to not be as physically strong as Midoriya even not taking the active OFA strenght in consideration (even if I think there's a a passive factor on it).
But yeah I really love the idea of Midoriya being the one who constantly carries Shindo bride style like he did two times in canon, but Yo probably loves it rather to being embarassed.
I bet he finds the strenght of Izuku to be really atractive and doesn't care about being carried over, perhaps he even likes the little power play.
what if nine wore glasses???
and yes besides my beloved jervis, there is my beloved nine UuU i have so many beloveds...it will take too long to name them all
He is so pretty and his story is kinda sad...poor nine my baby everyone should respect nine...NOW!
i think the glasses kinda suits him
AFO users under dramatic lighting 🤍
Lowkey is like from top to bottom they go from less deranged to most deranged.
