It's A Shame Nine Was Mostly Ignored By The Fandom, But It's Understandable Considering HR Was Released

It's a shame Nine was mostly ignored by the fandom, but it's understandable considering HR was released during the time MVA was at it's peak of hype and everyone treated it like the 2nd coming of Christ.

Also if you're a movie character isn't like people is going to remember you very much, expect for Rody Soul, while the others like Melissa or the Shimano kids have a little niche of fans but that's it.

But it's funny how years later there was a resurgence in the talks of how the main villain should have been and Nine got a lot more of appreciation recently, cause compared to Shigaraki and AFO his characterization feels way more solid despite he having much less content.

Also people generally accepts Nine showed to be a better fighter and more skilled user of the properties of AFO (the quirk). To add to the irony.

You know? It's kinda of funny how LOV fans treat the whole "I want to be a hero for villains" of Shigaraki as something groundbreaking, when the same concept was already introduced in the series (and was done better) with Nine.

You Know? It's Kinda Of Funny How LOV Fans Treat The Whole "I Want To Be A Hero For Villains" Of Shigaraki

Unlike Shigaraki, Nine literally meet his team members when he saved their lives. In Chimera's case it was when a bunch of racists were about to execute him just for being a mutant.

Nine also was a hero for them in a more thematic level, as he not only save their lives but actually give his team mates a reason for live and fight. He offered them the chance to fight for create a better world. For me it's quite remarkable how Nine despite being a homeless and chronically ill person, go for save people he view as equally oppressed by the world.

He was selfless enough to sacrifice his own health using his quirk to save Chimera despite it was destroying his body, and without expecting nothing in exchange for share a dream Nine a hand to people at their lowest point.

That's much more of an "All Might for the villains" or whatever Horikoshi tried to make Shigaraki in the final moments. Or hell Nine even acts better as a foil to Deku in the sense both are selfless individuals who fight despite their bodies are crumbling, just for the save of the persons who are important to them.

How ironic is that Nine, the original movie villain that was supposed to be just a prototype for the "final villain" of MHA, ended executing the same themes way better than Shigaraki.

Hi @nyc3 👋

A main reason as to why people treat shigaraki's I want to be a hero for the villains ideology better than nine's is simply because I assume a lot of people forgot the plot of the 2nd movie or haven't read the one shot manga chapter mha leauge of villains undercover. All of this is a shame because I heavily agree that nine's version of I want to be a hero and hope for the villains is executed and built up 10000x times better than shigarakis and nine had a fraction of the screentime that shigaraki got which is saying a lot.

Actually rewatching the film and rereading the manga one-shot has showed me that nine and shigarakis arcs are pretty similar with nine's having a better execution and shigaraki having more wasted potential.

The movie sets it clear that nine and shigaraki are supposed to be foils for one another so it makes sense that they would share parallels. However, you would expect that by the time nine is defeated that shigaraki would naraatively prove to us that he is ultimately the better character but in truth he doesn't and nine's downfall by shigaraki ends up being quite disappointing to me.

Another problem within the narrative is also the lack of interactions that nine and shigaraki have. I think that nine is essential to helping shigaraki and start to infulence him to realise that he is just a puppet and should develop a goal outside of just destruction. If shigarakis goal stays as destruction then the destruction of what? Everything? And how would that benefit anyone including him?

Nine like you said meets his teammates and saves them. He sees his teammates suffer like him and chooses to help them and they choose to help him. There is a clear relationship being developed and all the characters come together for the same goal, with similar backgrounds and varying styles yet they work.

When nines team see him in distress they run to help him and vice versa. The team has trust and overall everything that a lot of the leauges dynamics and development lacks.

Nine seeks destruction but his path is clear. He seeks to liberate and let nature flow its course with the strong overtaking the weak and finally being leaders instead of feared and abused because they don't fit into the small little box that is the mha's status quo. Nine plans to get stronger while being fully conscious and knowing the consequences. He makes a logical and heroic decision where we see him realise that he is trading his own autonomy and agency in becoming a lab rat all in exchange for power and a slim chance at achieving his goal.

This is all contrasted with shigaraki and his actions. We don't see his goal of destruction develop into a much more consistent and precise idea like destroying the giver and status quo. We don't see shigaraki fully conscious to come to the conclusion that yes the doctor is evil but he needs power. We lack everything from shigaraki and the information of chapter 419 just makes his character worse as shigaraki was a lab rat through and through.

Horikoshi tries to make shigaraki the better character but nine outclassed him in every way possible from the traumatic beginnings, to the developed flawed goal and to the final bitter end where we see nine crumble due to various factors 1)shigarakis decay and 2) his illness whereas shigaraki dies due to afo still being a lab rat that fulfills his purpose.

All of this reminds me of the ask that said mha's manga ending is a sloppy edited 2nd movie ending (except I was only looking at it from a hero perspective but it even applies to the villains)

Nine deserved better!

The age difference being also generational makes almost all Endeavor ships with young adults more fun, Hawks especially.

I think you aren't a shipper but considering our last talk...I wonder

What you think about dabi x Mirko?

Its just....if Mirko has to be shipped with a villain, dabi could work. Now it doesn't mean it will be a sweet romance...it think it would be dark. A one night stand type of deal where dabi thinks Mirko is as villainous as he is (she likes to beat up villains, she goes for the kill)

I just wondering here bc I've seen some arts and fics of them and...got my attention

Also...god I love your interpretation of Dabi x Burnin hahaha. He fucks her in hopes to get infos...gets useless infos (till the very last second where she reveal rather blase smth essential)

Oh but I do like shipping, is just I don't have anything worth to post about the ships I like (for now).

That being said Mirko isn't a character I'm very invested, but considering how popular she's overall obviously there's a lot of ships with her. For some reason many people love ship her with Shigaraki... ew why that's even a thing?

I never seen any Mirko x Dabi content but it can't be as bad as that other. And she would probably dominate Dabi which is always a plus to see.

Perhaps the only Mirko ship that got my interest a bit is her and Rappa, mainly because the fun chemistry they got in Vigilantes. We can considerer him an time to time villain?

That idea about Burnin came out of nowhere really, her chaotic personality just make this kind of situations write themselves. She's also the kind of person who could drive mr. edgelord crazy because he can't stand her energy.

Horikoshi is the ideas guy, but it's on the readers making something beautiful out of those ideas.

A detail people tend to overlook (cause the anime fucked up the timeline) is that Geten and Cider were introduced in the same chapter in the manga.

A Detail People Tend To Overlook (cause The Anime Fucked Up The Timeline) Is That Geten And Cider Were
A Detail People Tend To Overlook (cause The Anime Fucked Up The Timeline) Is That Geten And Cider Were

And Re-Destro speech juxtaposed with Cider presentation.

So we have this two boys of a similar age, both have water/ice based quirks, both have white/blue-ish hair, both have the same blue eyes, and we didn't know their real identity at first (and in Geten's case is debatable if that's his real name).

What a big coincide huh?

My theory of C.H leader being a lost Himura gets more and more crazy everytime I think about it.

I love the idea of Geten and Cider, who I call Mizunami Himura, being lost siblings. And by extensions the lost cousings of the Todorokis.

First of all, here's the fanfic in case you want to give it a read:

archiveofourown.org
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I really love that idea of AFO watching at Muzan and his demon moons, and he being petty as fuck like always inmediately would want to have that as well.

Technically he have nomus but they lack that rule of cool factor of the demon moons, so of course would try to response with super soldiers.

Ironically AFO already have soldiers with numeric order, that being Nine, Six, (Ten)ko and the rest of the unknown prototypes. He probably would try to use that for emulate the demon moons, but will fail epically because like in canon all AFO servants always reveal against him because unlike Muzan his security methods suck.

...

Zenitsu fights are visually cool despite every one of them is the exact same. I mean is kinda his whole thing that he doesn't know any other form of thunder breathing, but since he doesn't get to many fights it doesn't get old.

...

The demon that shares VA with crusty boy is Rui, a great villain btw.

And yeah in my AU crusty would just want mindless destruction. Nobody will feel bad for him, because fuck him. He's just an obstacle in this story.

Okay... maybe he will have sobe story about his human life as Tenko Shimura and he wanted being a demon slayer and save people like Nana, who was a hashira in the past and died in combat.

But a demon attacks and kills the Shimura family and turns him into a demon as well.

Sad and all, but nobody will know the story, he still gets humilliated and killed and goes to hell while his family is in heaven (evil laughs).

What do you think about another crossover AU for SeltzerBunny? This time with Demon Slayer.

It's kinda easy to adapt the respective canon quirks of our dear couple into Breathing Styles.

Cider/Mizunami obviously would be a water breathing user, and for this AU I like to think he would be tsuguko of Sabito who survived this time.

While Midoriya is a wind breathing user (cause you know air force and float and green aesthetic... whatever) who was saved by Masachika (Yeah he's also alive at least for now) from the lower moon who killed his mother.

That lower moon would be no other than BK, who is a promising demon in ascension who is capable of generate explosions like his quirk in MHA.

And this would make Midoriya quest for revenge his principal motivation.

Still thinking about the details for this AU and who should be the other characters adapted into it, as MHA having such a big cast compared to DS force me to pick only the necessary lol.

@nyc3 hello

So while I did saw the first season of DS and do think it's well paced and better than MHA in every way -not a big achievement to behold. I didnt saw the other seasons, I got spoilers here and there. My point is how some of the names here are unknown to me.

That being said...I do like more aus for this ship.

Cinder is still a thief in this au or he seeks revenge?

How they meet and how is their dynamic?

Have you ever been too attached to a nameless character which signature color is blue and they appear in like 1-2 episodes of their respective series?

It happened to me twice...

Cider House leader and the demon slayer who was partner of Rengoku during the prequel to mugen train.

Pretty blue eyes and cool outfit with matching blue tones. Plus if blue haori slayer uses water breathing then both characters are themed around water, isn't that amazing?

I shouldn't like nameless characters with so little content and screen time but I can't help myself either.

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.

Canon Possum Is A Joke But One Thing I Never Forget Is How Decay IS Powerful, Sure A Powerful Quirk With

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.

Headcanons for YoDeku/DekuYo? How do they maintain their relationship, knowing that they are both in different schools?

Oh isn't easy to maintain a relationship when they live decently far from each other and assist to different schools, but that just make them put much more effort on make it work and appreciate more every bit of time they got to be together. Neither Midoriya or Shindo give up easily, so they will do their best until both are free of school and can work on the same agency or something.

So for the headcanon I have:

-I like the idea of them starting to know each other better during that training between U.A and Ketsubutsu that Ms.Joke proposed to Aizawa but finally never happened in canon despite he accepted (I wonder why Horikoshi cut that idea). Shindo give the proper thanks to Midoriya for save his life during the license program of course, something we didn't see.

-They would have a small battle in which Yo teases Izuku a lot, because Yo being Yo, and Izuku obviously will fall for that and he pays way too much attention to Shindo's costume which start getting distracting.

-Something isn't entirely my headcanon cause I see a lot of other YoDeku shippers do, is the idea of Shindo being the person who makes Midoriya start getting out of shell and feel more comfortable with himself. I love how YoDeku shippers unlike many others don't portray Midoriya a super shy and almost dumb person just to fit the "uke" stereotype, and instead Izuku can act like a normal teen around Yo and feel free to share his geek interest for example without being mocked for that.

-This one is indeed my own, and it's that in the canon timeline after the 2nd war when Midoriya is recovering in the hospital Yo rush to visit his bf (yes they're official at that point) and covers him in kisses, getting a good happy laugh from Izuku. Especially after Shindo starts kissing his cheek scars non stop.

-Yo also kiss the scar Izu have in the head and comments he totally loves Midoriya "new hairstyle". Izuku isn't totally convinced about this though, and while he doesn't say it louder he wonders if Yo is making fun of him for his hair.

-But then the day Izuku is leaving the hospital and is received by Shindo he gets shocked because... Yo shaved a side of his own head, the exact same Izuku got shaved.

-Shindo is all happy and joyful and he says "Did you think I was joking? Nah I totally love your look Zuku, and we still match ;)" (joke about them having the same hairstyle, and they will still match even post shave lol).

-Needless to say, Izuku almost pass out because how loved he felt for that.

-Btw Shindo uses "Zuku" as a cute bf nickname for Midoriya. Izuku meanwhile still tries to figure how call Shindo but he's not that good with nicknames, yet Yo makes clear that he loves when Izuku calls him "Yo-Kun".

-Another headcanon that is almost a cliche among YoDeku shippers is Yo using his vibration quirk to be the personal masajist of Izuku, who after so many damage to his muscles is going to need that sweet treatment more than ever. And of boy, he's blessed by that.

-But hey! Izuku can also uses his quirks for good and improve their relationship, cause (spicy bit ahead) Shindo really loves the power games and being restrained by Izuku using black whip when they got intimate, which belive me they do it everytime they can (they're really horny for each other).

-On time Midoriya also asked Shindo if he would like try using GearShift to go faster during sex. Yo loves experiment so obviously accepted, and the result was so good that it became obligatory everytime thay have sex.

-Eventually they also discovered the way to incorporate Fa-Jin and Float into the mix, with results beyond words lol.

...

I have many other headcanons, but these are some of the ones I can remember right know.

YoIzu is one of my favorite ships ever and it has crazy potential, sadly bkdks hate Shindo and our ship.

But hey they will never have the pride of Izuku carrying Shindo bride style twice lol.
