he's insane

another old man of my life

So imagine if Aizawa and Present Mic do manage to pull Oboro Shirakumo out of Kurogiri. He’s back, his memories, his personality, everything. Same old Oboro, the one they knew. But something isn’t right.

Because there’s still a part of him for whatever reason, a deeply ingrained part, that is fiercely, unshakably loyal to... Tomura Shigaraki.

Like, just imagine him saying, after all the effort, at some point... "Tomura Shigaraki must be protected. That is my goal."

And Aizawa and Mic tried to, like, get him out of it, they really did, but no matter how much they tried to talk him out of it, no matter how much they try to reason with him, his brain just... shuts off. Remember that scene of their first interrogation of Kurogiri? And his brain activity went blank. Yeah, that kind of shuts off.

Not like he’s ignoring them. Not like he’s upset. But completely, biologically off. No brain activity. Zero. For two hours, more or less. The number differs each time, and they just stopped trying.

They said, they really tried to tell him that "You’re not Kurogiri anymore", and suddenly, he’s gone. Like someone just flipped a switch.

And when he comes back? He has no idea what happened.

This isn’t just brainwashing. This is something worse.

This is rewiring. This is deep-rooted conditioning. This is proof that All For One knew this might happen. Maybe not to Oboro, maybe he didn't think that far, but to Kurogiri? Yes. And so when he was created, that was placed deep into his consciousness.

And that’s not even the worst part, because sometimes, Oboro wanders off at night.

Not sleepwalking. Not dreaming. Just... standing in the middle of the street, staring into nothing. And when they shake him awake?

He doesn’t remember leaving the house.

And sometimes, when they’re not listening, he says things that terrify them.

"Tomura Shigaraki... he was alone for so long" "No one held his hand" "He only ever knew destruction"

"I failed him once. I cannot fail again".

They saved him... but they didn’t break his chains. They can't, they tried. These chains stayed from Kurogiri to Oboro.

And worst of all?

Maybe some part of him doesn't even want to get rid of these chains.

THEY'RE SO GOOOOOOOD

Kurogiri: "Sometimes I wonder if I'd be cursed to sit with kids even as Oboro."

Aizawa: "You probably wouldn't be allowed near kids as Oboro."

Kurogiri: "But Hizashi is. Daily."

Aizawa: "... Touché."

Peng - Tai Lung’s nephew

For those unfamillair the film Kung Fu Panda from 2008 was a huge hit. So much so it go itself sequels TV specials and a cartoon series named Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness. 

It’s a great show. It gives us a lot more information on the Furious Five, Shifu, and a lot of new characters. One of those new characters is Peng, Tai Lung’s nephew.

Now all the fans of the original must be pretty confused. I now will try to make sense of it by addressing all the inconsistencies in the lore and finding explanations to them.

1. Tai Lung doesn’t have a family, right?

Not true from the bat. Everybody has/had a family. Someone had to purposefully left him in front of the palace. It probably were his parents or one of his parents.

2. Why would they leave him like that?

Now that’s tricky. We never get information as to why he was abandoned. The keyword is nephew. A nephew is a son of your brother or sister, or a son of your husband’s or wife’s brother or sister.

We know Tai Lung never married, no girlfriend, no fuck-buddy, any one-night stands. Unless something new comes out and retcons it too. It’s most likely that Tai Lung’s whole life revolved around kung fu, training, and becoming a dragon warrior.

It must mean that Peng is the son of Tai Lung’s brother or sister, or a son of their husband’s or wife’s brother or sister.

The thing that changes everything is whether they left Tai Lung before or after his brother/sister was born. It could be that they haven’t been ready for a child, yet. Maybe they were too poor or had too many children, maybe even both. We just don’t know. There’s too little information.

3. Why didn’t they come back for him or tried to reach out?

It would’ve been awkward, to say the least. “Hey, we’re your parents. We left you here because we couldn’t take care of you, but now we can. Want to come with or keep in touch?” They are basically strangers. And appearing out of nowhere would seem like they want to gain something from having a famous relative. Before Tai Lung tried to steal the scroll he was kind of a hero. Just like the Furious Five and Po after him.

Besides, I doubt there is something like a paternity test in ancient China, even or especially in animation.

4. How could they know anything about Tai Lung?

Do you know how sometimes people that gave away their children are still somewhat interested in their kids well being? Just to make sure they made the right choice, and the kid is happy and safe. Also, people talk and gossip. They could’ve just dropped by a couple of times and asked “Who is this snow leopard?” and people would start gushing about how Tai Lung is so awesome and might be a dragon warrior.

5. Why The Jade Palace?

Well, why not? From Tigress’s backstory, it looks like “scary” animals might have a hard time fitting in with “cute” prey animals. Also, living in a palace where you can learn history, kung fu, and even become a hero beloved by everyone is nicer than possibly living in an orphanage until you’re too old.

There are still many questions and things that can be explored but I wouldn’t call them lore braking or contradictions. There is just more to the story and I hope we get more of it.

Peng only showed up in 3 episodes (I think) that mainly focused on him in the present and not his family and the past. I’m going to write another post dedicated to him in the future.

If you have more questions feel free to ask and I’ll try to answer them best of my ability.

I haven’t watched kung fu panda or the show in a long time. So I’m going to watch it to refresh my memory and maybe see something I haven’t noticed before.

I don't care for character design, so fuck it, here you go with them in heaven and barely any change

lmao look at conan

he really said

i know what you are
