Does anyone ever wonder what happened to the villain Mustard. Cause like the UA Traitor got like no consequence(that I know of) but this 15 yr might be in a prison for life or something-

Mustard: Am I in trouble? Mr Compress: Take a guess. Mustard: No? Mr Compress: Take another guess.

Going off of the notes from my last reblog I really do wish that Mustard had a bigger narrative role in the story other than “Villain D for Side Characters E and F to defeat” because like, if we really think about it he could have been another villain foil for one of the other hero students or for Class 1-A as a whole

Mustard is someone who a) is young, as in he’s literally wearing a gakuran underneath his support equipment, and b) he’s disillusioned with the divide of hero schools like UA vs. those that may not get as much funding or attention as they should, which would have left the door open for an exploration of non-prestige schools with hero courses (which I personally would’ve liked to see in the manga itself) and expands its themes on classism and getting lucky vs. deserving rewards. Also while we’re at it he’s another character who is not immune to their own Quirk and needs support in the form of a gas mask to even be able to use it properly, if at all. I think the only other (definitively canon) character without such immunity is Toya iirc, which leaves all the narrative weight of Quirk inequality on his shoulders rather than spreading it out a little more (two characters that are also villains would still not be enough for me but it’s be better than such topics getting overshadowed completely by Keeping Up with the Todorokis)

I think Mustard, if he stuck around, would’ve made for a nice inverse/parallel of Shinso personally. Their Quirks would counteract one another (Mustard would be unable to use his if he was brainwashed, and talking requires breathing in air so if Shinso were caught in the gas typhoon he would be unable to use his effectively), and their mentalities of wanting to be a hero (nebulous in Mustard’s case, but I wouldn’t throw the possibility away) but unable to because of societal factors outside of the kids’ controls and the difference between Shinso being taken in by Aizawa vs. Mustard having no one to support him aside from the League would be an interesting one to tackle for one of the final fights in the current arc

TL;DR Mustard is an underrated character and missed opportunity imo and I wish he would make at least one last appearance before the manga ends

there is so much whiplash when a mf pulls out a glock,, like that is so funny and terrifying and ik people think it’s worldbreaking but it makes hella sense to me

#i’m rewatching bnha #i dont care about cringe anymore i love my hero #bnha snipe #bnha mustard #ik everyone talks about Momo making a gun but there are probably extreme gun laws like actual japan so she probably wouldn’t do that #I do want her to snap though #she’s my favourite character /gen #and I’m so love with her #imagine her as a villain #she would be absolutely unstoppable #forever in love with her

Ever think Mustard was supposed to be a mainstay villain? He was introduced wayback in 57 alongside Dabi, Spinner, Toga and Giganto and compared to the other Captured M's, from his practical attitude to his disdain for 'one-note' Quirks , it seems as if there were intentions of a longer term role for him in the story. I wanna think lil'condiment was put on a bus because his Quirk might have been a tad awkward for fights compared to the others.

Man, I really don’t know.  Mustard is in a very weird place: he hardly seems as blood-crazed as Muscular or as unknowably monstrous as Moonfish (I say this with all due affection for them both, of course), and indeed if he’s meant to be on their level, he’d be a singular case of an apparently totally irredeemable middle schooler.  Which would be a pretty bizarre thing to have in a story that kicked both Toga and Touya off the deep end in middle school, but certainly isn’t treating them as unreachable!

I feel like I’d need some confirmation from Horikoshi or an editor or something before I'd buy that Mustard was originally meant to stick around but then got put on a bus last second because his power would be awkward to handle.  By all means, his power would be awkward to handle,(1) but the training camp attack was such a key event for the manga, laying the ground for Kamino and everything that would come after, that it’s hard for me to imagine Horikoshi not knowing exactly which characters were going to walk out the other side of that plotline as opposed to changing his mind right in the middle of it.

As to Mustard’s early introduction, I wonder to what extent the Chapter 57 characters were intended to be drawn to the League because of Stain, rather than being indicative of who was going to stick around?  Twice and Mr. Compress, after all, would go on to become core members, but they weren’t introduced in 57, only when they cropped up during the actual camp attack.  They also, along with Magne, Muscular and Moonfish—who also don’t appear in 57—never bring up Stain or Stain’s goals in their time with the League.(2) But Dabi, Spinner, and Toga, all shown as Giran talks about Stain's influence on the underworld, they all cite Stain as their inspiration.

It’s not a perfect theory: I don’t recall Mustard ever talking about Stain, though at least his beef with sub-par students being unduly praised just because of the school they attend resembles Stain’s rhetoric about unworthy heroes. Gigantomachia, for his part, doesn’t give a damn about Stain or heroes, but I could buy the Hosu incident being the point at which Machia starts perking up and paying attention to Shigaraki (assuming Shigaraki was getting name-dropped at all, given his place as the afterthought of the Hosu news reports, RIP).

I hope we’ll eventually see Mustard again.  I can (unhappily) buy that the bulk of the MLA is gone; they were in that weird space of being villains-for-the-villains, providing, in the boost they gave Shigaraki, the biggest turning point in the series.  But when even randos from USJ are turning back up, when Mustard and Moonfish both resurfaced, it would be pretty strange to just never get Mustard again at all.  (Ditto Gentle and La Brava, but they at least feel relatively self-contained and resolved at the end of their arc; you can’t say the same of the other captured Villains.)

On the one hand, there’s a very realistic edge to Mustard, the disaffected kid who shows up with a weapon and a superiority complex and an outsized grudge about school; he’s very grounded in the kind of self-absorbed aggrievance that I can imagine a lot of people find difficult to sympathize with, possibly including his creator.

On the other hand, to reiterate, that’s an extremely bizarre place to leave a middle-schooler.  Surely, if we can be asked to sympathize with people like Toga, who would have been around Mustard’s age when she went on the run, and Spinner, who with his hikikomori backstory is based on similar discomfitingly realistic youthful disaffectedness as Mustard, then Mustard himself shouldn’t be beyond the pale?

Hell, if nothing else, I feel like we deserve an answer as to what about the League he believed in so strongly that he refused to tell the police anything about them after his capture.  Mustard is, again, a middle schooler who’s up against a legal system that has very probably only gotten worse than its already-dire real-life counterpart; further, given the attitude towards Villains in this setting, there’s a decent chance that he’s been disowned by his family.  He may be a prat, but I have no choice but to stan a kid who’s gutsy enough to hold his silence in those circumstances.(3)

Thanks for the ask, @shockersalvage!

------

1:  Technically his power is relatively easily dealt with via an abundance of gas masks, but that would mean drawing everyone in gas masks all the time, and this is My Hero Academia, not Dorohedoro.

2:  I spent most of the manga ragging on Compress for villain gatekeeping, but he did, of course, eventually drop a nugget about being against sham heroes.  In his case, though, the stance is tied to his family legacy, not inspired by Stain.  Harima’s views and Stain’s are enough of a piece that it’s easy to assume the Stain association led Compress to the League, but possibly the difference is that Dabi, Toga and Spinner all cite Stain as an inspiration, whereas Compress merely saw him as an opportunity—or perhaps a reminder. 

3:  Which is why the counterpart to the “Geten jailbreaks Tartarus with a single ice cube” fic is the one where Geten gets sent to the same high-security juvie facility Mustard was, and the two have to get over, in order: each other, themselves, and The Wall.

Not a Hero - Rehabilitated at UA AU

Mustard: Wow, Tokoyami, so you've taken down quite a number of villains. Moonfish, Slice, Re-Destro. But you don't really make a deal about it.

Tokoyami: I'm not one to brag.

Mustard: But I totally would.

Tokoyami: And that's why you're not a hero.

Mustard: That's not fair. There's hundreds of reasons why I'm not a hero.
