Really thinking about what you said "My Abuser academy"and it feel too right in canon.
Look Endy being forgiven and people apologising to him feels it was a progression of a nig scheme. Let me try to explain
BK is visually being abusive to Izu. Hori undermines that, somehow and only god knows what this man thinks, makes Izu's tears a joke.
Fandom went along.
And you see many, many arts with Izu and BK.
Some people think Hori will redeem him.
Then we go to Endy. He is abusive to his family and at first it seems this will be taken serious....but Endy's redemption begins when he got what he wanted...and he doesnt lose anything.
It is all a progression. If people found funny BK trying to kill Izu (and I bet there are people like that) than...there are people who wanted to see abuser Endy be redeemed.
Hi @mikeellee 👋,
Yeah I have to admit in my more cynical moments there are parts of MHA where the messaging can feel quite malicious at times;
The constant undermining and playing up for comedy with Bakugou's abusive behavior seems to be (combined with what I know of Japans stance on bullying) mean-spirited in particular toward Izuku. Also using both AM and Aizawa as mouth pieces to push the narrative that whatever toxic mess that Bkg and Izuku have going on is a rivalry? Like Izuku has some fault in Bkg's toxic bullying bullshit? Nope! It's shit to read and I hate it.
Hori now brushing over the true weight of Endeavour's abuse with his retcons "Rei just tripped", "Incest in the Himura family is why Dabi and Rei are crazy" (a take I've unfortunately heard from Endeav fans), "Evil Touya tried to kill Shoto so that's why Endeav kept Shoto away from the other kids - he wasn't deliberately separating the masterpiece at all!!) Also the way Hori is framing this is gross - like with Izuku and Bakugou - he's trying to make out like Endeav's victims also have some fault in how Dabi turned out.
Bonus - have a third example! Hawks and Twice. What did Hawks lose for killing Twice? His reputation with the heroes? Nope. His job? Nope. His wings and/or health? Nope. Experience any crippling guilt for stabbing his mentally ill friend in the back and murdering him in cold blood? Also Nope, to add insult to injury Nagant, experiences more guilt than him, has a moment where she looks up to him for still having HOPE! And he answers with 'I guess I'm an optimist.' How can you be Hawks?! Where's the goddamn guilt you should feel?! The conflict? The...anything apart from being up Endeavors ass! Do you feel my anger about this?! Granted Toga is using Twice's blood to go on a murderous rampage but she didn't use that to kill Hawks or go after those he cares for like Tokoyami (does he care for Tokoyami, actually?- that bond feels like Tokoyami likes Hawks more than Hawks likes him to be honest but the point still stands.)
TLDR - the abusers and murderers in MHA lose nothing as long as they're on the heroes side which is a godawful message to have considering the heroes in this story are meant to be like super powered cops.

As a fan of both bnha & jjk, can I ask you somethings?
-which majority of characters will survive if their universe is swithed (jjk charas in bnha verse or bnha charas in jjk verse)
-people in jjk verse have stronger mental state than in bnha verse because the death rate is higher in jjk than bnha (do you agree?)
- from plot and art, which do you think is better (jjk or bnha)?
-dynamics between bakudeku or satosugu, which is written better as a duo? why?
I asked this because in twitter I found a jjk fan and bnha fan have a heated discussion to prove which is better, and that's why I want to know your opinion, thanks.....
I feel like I'm getting tagged in. Excuse me while I stretch before I jump into this. As always, thank you for the ask! ❤️
Tumblr media
Put me in the game, coach!
DEADPOOL
Please. If JJK characters' cursed techniques were quirks, they'd all be alive and going to amusement parks and eating crepes.
In the reverse, Midoriya would be a Yuta like drop in considering all of his techniques, maybe, and most of Class 1A would be wiped. Hell, I think we can all agree there are students in Class 1A that shouldn't even be in Class 1A (this is a Minoru Mineta call out, at the very least). But that's also why Jujutsu Tech has a class size that hasn't exceeded 4 students that we've seen. I could see Midoriya, Shinso (cursed speech user), and Tokoyami (shikigami user) in a class. With Todoroki (legacy family + technique) and Bakugo (Todo-esque brute force regardless of technique) over at Kyoto. I'm not saying they'd all survive but I could see it.
MENTAL ACUITY
I think trauma, or one's ability to handle a breadth of it, isn't based on the trauma itself. Even if Midoriya had never experienced loss, he'd repeatedly experienced the inequities of systemic and social oppression from being quirkless compounded by a dad that seemingly peaced out. Kid took hit after hit before being able to have a shot at his dream which he then slowly realized wasn't as cut and dry as it seemed. He keeps on trucking though.
If anything, I think that most characters in JJK are a belt loop getting caught on a door handle away from losing their shit and becoming curse users because of the higher death toll. The students of class 1A might be slowly losing hope but Yuji is constantly swimming in sea of despair, survivor's guilt, and has a 1000 year old curse whispering obscenities to him. For all intents and purposes, kid should be on a watchlist. And you mean to tell me that Megumi "Watch What These Hands Do" Fushiguro is the picture of mental health??? Nah. Buddy has been looking for any opportunity to take a curtain bow with Mahoraga since day 1. Gojo meant what he said when he had to make sure Nobara was crazy in Season 1 because that's what it takes to be a sorcerer if you want to live. You have to be a little deranged so the losses don't take you down the same path as Geto or breed an even bigger problem by generating a curse. The only easy, breezy, beautiful cover girls in JJK are the villains as they are regularly shown to be leisurely enjoying the beach, soccer, mahjong... all while 16 year olds are fighting for their lives and losing.
WINNER TAKE ALL
Plot
Taking into consideration the fact that we're in late stage My Hero Academia and, at best, half way through Jujutsu Kaisen, I think MHA has it on plot. This take is based on being able to now, with most of the story having taken place, see how everything comes together, though. Bear in mind, even at the end of the story, we still don't know how things are going to play out. I've made a lot of wild accusations though (here, here, here, here, here and, inevitably, more are bouncing around my head). What's funny about this is the fact that, there's not really a question of how it's going to end in the grand scheme. We know that Deku will be triumphant in defeating or liberating Shigaraki. I think, through all his subversion, Horikoshi will still write a story where the good guys win. But the subtler details of how the story will end are what everyone's getting fired up about regarding BakuDeku and if anyone will die.
Regarding Jujutsu Kaisen's plot, as readers, we're still too lost in the forest of the culling games to understand the overarching reason. It's still a 5/5 in my book until proven otherwise but, from what we've seen, Gege Akutami buries details that are pertinent later. His exposition style is uniquely different from Horikoshi's (and Iseyama's for that matter). Moreover, Akutami knows how to illicit rage, angst, tears even in the midst of a multi page description of one man's cursed technique (yea, I'm talking about Hikari). They are a troll with a pen and I cannot take that away from them. So, I'm trusting in the process while also acknowledging that this story is not going to echo that of shonen series' before it. Gege Akutami could very well write the end of the human world as we know it, the entirety of the main cast dead, and I wouldn't even be surprised and I would read every. single. panel. Happily.
Art
Again, it's kind of unfair to compare the refined art of a series with 39 volumes versus 24 volumes especially when they stylistically differ so much. So, instead, I'll say what I appreciate for both.
Horikoshi's unique character design, even going so far as to use different illustration styles where appropriate circumvents the issue of Same Face Syndrome while also adding a lot of dynamic visual texture to the cast. Also, hands are like a big part of the story? Which he's managed to make a focal point where it matters. I will also say that he has, in recent chapters, delved into the horror aesthetic beautifully.
Gege Akutami is just a silly little guy. By that, I mean, there will be these AMAZING spreads or panels. Then, on the very next panel or page, there will be a silly lil doodle and it doesn't even feel out of place. In fact, it's very on par with Yuji as a character. I don't think this story is told from Yuji's limited perspective where MHA is largely from Deku's POV, but, when Gege breaks down the behind the scenes, it's broken down as if it's for someone as simple as Yuji. Stylistically gory but also humorous, there are definitely some chapters that are perhaps churned out faster than others, but the art still speaks for itself.
BATTLE OF THE SHIPS
This is a hard one in the sense that BakuDeku is being explored in real time, at length whereas SatoSugu we've only gotten wisps of even though they are, foundationally, what sets off the entire chain of events that sets the story for JJK. There's something to be said for wanting and I think what makes SatoSugu so compelling is truly the tragedy of it. Gojo lost his only equal, his everything (which Geto never thought himself to be) and Geto lost his everloving mind. MHA's whole story is hinged on BakuDeku but the brainrot for SatoSugu decays so poignantly because, while both series are effectively about child soldiers trying to stay alive, SatoSugu is the after. What happens when youth aren't protected, what do they lose?
FINAL VERDICT
Just because you can read them both in Shonen Jump does not mean they're a monolith.
Considering they aren't actually in the same genre, it makes no sense to compare the two. They may have some similarities. But that's like saying a horse is similar to a cow because they are animals with four legs and tails.
It makes more sense to compare JJK to the other two unhinged stories that make up the dark trio, "Chainsaw Man" or "Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku" because the stakes are the same. Anyone can die. For the most part, there aren't miraculous revivals (like Best Jeanist and whoever else 👀).
A/N: I don't care, I know Nobara's coming back if only for Gege to kill her again.

Pls say sike. No way iron might took priority over rei when he could’ve been in extra content for vol 40… I don’t get the hype it’s like star and stripe for me. Waited so long for rei like this vol has her moment as a mom/hero and nothing?
Well, at least she got her first own color art and it's on a cover - that's a big win in my book. (The real loser is poor Iida, who unlike Jirou, Tokoyami, Mina, etc. didn't get anything for his highlight moment)
Though, we still have no full Todo-family art... (which btw makes me hope we are getting back to them still in the endgame). The whole Todoroki family lined up like that, looking at Enji makes me feel that the ball is in his court. And that the story-beat I want to see from him may still come.
But yeah, the extras are a bit weird - they do look like Hori didn't have much time for them, so he just threw in whatever little drafts were lying around. (Which is understandable, because they made him work on the WSJ cover / color page the same time he was working on the volume).
I'm personally happy with the cover / title page / character intro. And my main priority would be anyways to see if there are any redraws / extra pages added to the Todo-chapters. Also it wouldn't be the first time the leakers forgot some of the extras, so let's wait two more days.

Rant Dabi’s fate
Ok buckle up guys because I’m gonna make a fucking long rant about the last chapters leak 387 and talk about the HOLY SHIT HORRIBLE TAKES ABOUT DABI’S FATE. I have so much to do, but the brainworm is so strong I need to let it out to continue working in what I’m doing SO
Let’s talk first about the: is the best for Dabi’s arc that he and Endeavor died like this (hugging each other if a hell of flames while Endeavor is sacrificing himself for the greater good)
Is it????? IS IT?!?!? 
Besides omiting that Rei is right there in the end of the chapter, let’s talk about how that would play out in the future, because let’s recall this is Midoriya telling the story to someone, and is the story about “How we became the greatests heroes” 
Direct future of Endeavor and Dabi dying: Shouto arrives, having the fucking speech of the century by All Might, All Might after calling Dabi by his name for the first time, Shouto arrives for what he thinks is his second chance to save his brother (oportunity that NOBODY else of the villains has) only to see that he dies, and not only his brother that he wanted so desperately to save died, but also his father that has in trying to redeem himself, also dies. AND NOT ONLY THAT, but his entire family is seeing it and see how they die.
What good does this to Shouto? To his mom? To Natsuo? To Fuyumi? 
Fuyumi who wanted desperately to have a family again together, Natsuo that had a connection so strong with Touya that is the first one to mention him in the story and who hates his father guts for everything that came from his abuse, Rei? Holy shit, Rei who was in a psyquiatric ward for 10 years, who wasn’t even able to say goodbye to her eldest son when he “died”, who slowly has working on talking again with her children a better way and has the guilty conscience of not helping them as she could when they were kids, to see her eldest son die again because of that same mistakes, because they didn’t have the chance to prove him that things have change
And Shouto? Starting from the abuse he endured, having a broken family, hating his dad, and when finally things seems good, comes Dabi’s Dance and the revelation, that is the lowest point of the Todoroki family and that they have to get united to do something about Touya, so you know want to add, that after lifting his spirits and all, he can’t do anything to save Touya AND his father? 
“We have to prove that you can’t save everybody!” 
And what was Nighteye? Midnight? Twice? Shirakumo? All dying and the ones close to when it happened were the kids, Ochaco has a guilty councience of not doing more, Momo and the others that saw Midnight’s body, Tokoyami seeing Twice body. Shirakumo dying to young and giving Aizawa and Mic trauma. 
Does Shouto needs to add that too??? Not only my father was an abuser, my family broken, my brother became a murderous villain, and EVERYBODY knows about it, but also you wanna add that his brother and father died in a murder suicide?????
I MEAN WTF PEOPLE. What kind of message you gave of “being the greatest hero” you give with that? If I was Shouto after that I would lose all hope of anything. Probably the Todoroki family couldn’t be together anymore, all too broken so address like “yeah we couldn’t save them, but let’s try be together!” HOW?!?!?!?
Let’s talk about the two main characters in here: Touya and Endeavor.
Endeavor hasn’t learn his lesson. NO HE HASN’T. He isn’t seeing Touya, he is seeing a mistake he did many years ago that has come to haunt him. He is seeing Touya just as villain and not as his son, and his response is of a hero with no connection with the villain: I will sacrifice myself for the greater good. But is not one of a father: I will save my son. Endeavor sees Touya too far gone to save him. 
And then Touya, “oh yeah his ideal suicide is the best outcome for him!” Is what I have read SO MANY TIMES that is like ?????????? “He hates his family so much!! and didn’t care about what happened to them!” He has an obssecion about killing his father for 10 years, of course he is totally not in the best mind, and for what it seems, he doesn’t hate his entire family, he stills adress them with nicknames and honorifics (calling Rei, mom still). He is too far in his rage that if killing his siblings brings pain to Endeavor he is ok with it. I’m completely aware of that. Do I want to say that they will talk happily and then go be a family again? No, he probably will end in a psyquiatric ward for so long and his family will visit him and see if that connection can be restored again. People saying that Dabi’s suicide is the only thing that will bring him peace is like????? Like in the chapter he isn’t even aware of where he is, he is in such a delirious state that thinks Natsuo is there. His body is moving in rage instict and that’s it, so he probably isn’t completely aware that he is killing Endeavor. 
But let’s also talk what would happen outside on the hero society if this happens: Endeavor will be seen as an even GREATER hero!!! Do you think civilians will care about his past anymore? No! This is the easiest way for him to redeem himself. The only people that will know the story is the Todoroki’s and those close to Shouto, Endeavor will be a symbol of selfsacrifice for the greater good, and the hard choice of killing himself to “save his too far gone” kid and save half of Japan. 
“Oh yeah, is sad that he abused his family, but hey he saved all those people during the war! That counts for something?” Is probably what would happen
So Touya dies barely aware that killed Endeavor and this makes that his abusive and awful father gets more famous and important than before. 
Yeah great ending for Touya. 
And don’t get me started the people saying that Rei will die with them. Srsly people?!?! 
We add everything that I said and worst things from it. 
I don’t know what will happen, and I’m sure that I don’t want Touya and Endeavor to die. It doesn’t make anything to the story and to the Todoroki’s family arc.
Because yes, is not Touya’s arc, Endeavor’s arc or Shouto’s arc. Is the whole family’s arc
Touya will be mad when he is back to counciousness that he was saved and Endeavor is also live. Oh yeah, completely. Will they go to be all happy family when all is done? No, probably not. But they both dying doesn’t add anything to the story.
I don’t know how it will end. But I just now that that isn’t it.
That’s my rant, thank you

Anyone else a fan of Mushishi? Because I have a conspiracy about our beloved Ginko (that might already have been thought of) but has left me devastated.
So we all know that Ginko's real name was Yoki, and that he was found injured by a lady Mushi Master named Nui. Yoki stumbles across a pond filled with white fish that have one green eye. Surprised, Yoki asks Nui about the fish and she explains to him that they became white, lose one eye and have the other turn green after exposure to the Mushi in the pond. She doesn't know their name, but calls them Ginko Mushi. Yoki asks if this happened to her, and she tells him it is, and explains about her family, and the reason she lingers at the pond is the hopes that they might find their way back, despite the dangers. She reassures him that the fish never lose their other eye. That is a lie of course, one that Yoki finds out. Yoki sneaks out to view the Ginko Mushi and discovers that they do lose their eye, and disappear. Nui finds him and he confronts her about it. She reveals that they end up being consumed by the Tokoyami that live in the shadows of the pond. That she knows that her family are not wandering around without their memories, but are a part of the Tokoyami in the pond. That after experimenting on the fish, she learned that they all, inevitably, become consumed by the Tokoyami. And after repeated exposure, she too has doomed herself and that she has run out of time. She sends Yoki away, but he realizes that she's going to disappear, so he goes back as she's being consumed, and latches onto her, being partially consumed himself. She drags him along, desperately, away from the pond and tells him to avoid being consumed by the Tokoyami, he must keep one eye closed and focus on trying to remember one thing. That in doing so, even though he will lose all his memories except the one thing he was able to remember, he will avoid being consumed by the Tokoyami. And so, Yoki finds himself out of the forest, no memories other than the word Ginko, white hair, one green eye and one missing eye that is consumed by darkness that seems to eat any light shined into it.
Now let's circle back to something. Nui experimented on the fish exposed to the Ginko Mushi. And they all succumbed to the Tokoyami. She herself succumbed to them. There is no cure. No escape. She was only able to prolong the life of the fish she experimented on. And she shortened her life with continued exposure. So that means, that the newly dubbed Ginko, will eventually succumb to the Tokoyami. Many of you might have come to that conclusion already. And I applaud you, because it took me watching the show three times to catch that. But wait (like an annoying infomercial) there's more! Tokoyami consume light! And Ginko's missing eye does the same! So that leads me to believe, that the Tokoyami are living in the place his eye once resided in. Which means he is in constant exposure to them. So not only will he eventually be consumed... but it is highly possible, that his lifespan is being shortened by these Mushi living in his eye.
But that's not the only thing pulling at my heartstrings. Surely, others know about these Mushi. After all, Tokoyami have been referenced before; even if Nui made up the name for the Ginko that reside along side them. And Ginko, a Mushi Master, who has traveled to the only Mushi library and read nearly all of the scrolls, has surely come across a reference to Mushi that turn hair white and an eye green while eating the other. After all, after hundreds of years and Mushi Masters telling their stories, someone has had to have seen them and documented them.
And him knowing would make so much sense! Sure, as a child, who didn't know anything and had taken the name of Ginko because that was all he knew; would think it perfectly reasonable to see his eye as cursed due to the fact that Mushi were drawn to him. And it would seem reasonable to keep on the move to avoid bringing bad luck onto others. Because how could he know that there were others who attracted Mushi too? But he's an adult now. With years of experience and information at his disposal. He knows better. He knows he doesn't have to keep on the move. He's seen others who attract Mushi live mostly normal lives in or near villages. He's seen Mushi Masters settle down. There are probably Mushi Masters who travel that have families. He doesn't have to keep on the move. He's shown that at times he's reluctant to leave (his hesitance over leaving the sister and brother in the valley that has the Mushi that take the form of butterflies). In fact, he makes it a point to sneak away so as not to have to deal with goodbyes or have people try to convince him to stay. We've seen how when he says he can't stay due to drawing in Mushi, no one seems to buy it. It's an excuse. One that everyone seems to just begrudgingly accept. Sure, he was kicked out of the nomad group and others due to drawing in too many Mushi. But that was when he was a child, and not fully equipped to deal with the Mushi. But again, he's a Master now. He can handle things now. Yet he holds everyone at arms length, mourns not being able to stay when he desperately wants to. When people desperately want him too. And the only reason I can think of that he would keep doing this to himself, this self imposed isolation, is because he KNOWS!
He knows that at any time, any day or month or year, he could be consumed by the Tokoyami. And he doesn't want to burden anyone with that. When people ask why he looks the way he does, the way he responds with "I don't know" just doesn't seem genuine. It seems pained. Like he does know, but doesn't want to say. Why when he jokes that he's hard to kill, he doesn't sound very proud, even if he says it in a joking way. It comes off as more depressed. Like dark humor. Like he wishes he would get taken out before the Tokoyami do it. He throws himself into danger with no hesitation. Like a man willing to die. Like a man with nothing to live for. Other than endless wandering. Sure, he loves discovering Mushi, is fond of them in a way. But there is always a melancholy about him. He's never really panicked when he comes close to dying, like he's accepting his fate. He takes being stabbed so casually. Jokes that he should have expected it. He even seems irritated when he wakes up. Irritated over being stabbed? Or irritated that he lived? When faced with the possibility of being reborn, he hates the idea and wishes he could die and just be dead. Not come back. He shows no interest in the possibility of becoming a Mushi like the grandmother did in the first episode. Curious over the process, sure. But the way he speaks, he sounds as if dying and passing on into the afterlife would be preferable. Again and again, he shows little regard for his safety. Continuously views the River of Light even though it's dangerous. Takes risks, even if their calculated. Refuses to let connections with others become deeper. Refuses to settle down when he could reasonably live in a isolated place and visit neighboring villages and even start a family. But he lives his life of solitude and sadness and tries to convince himself that seeking Mushi is more than enough. Why?
Because he knows he is a lost cause. And can't hurt the people he's grown to care about. Because what's worse? Telling them that he's going to die and become consumed by the Tokoyami and there's nothing he or they can do? Leaving them to mourn him every time they think about him or see him. Or just to disappear from their lives one day? A mystery. He's always getting into dangerous situations. It's possible that he just didn't survive one dangerous encounter.
I think Ginko knows. And that's why he's always on the move. Because he's scared to settle down and hurt someone. Maybe he's even scared to admit the truth. Because if he stays, if he gets too attached, then how can he cope with the knowledge that he could disappear from their lives at any given moment. Because he doesn't want to leave them. But what he wants doesn't matter, because some things can't be changed.

Ask Game: Tenya ends up interning with Hawks.
Zoom zoom
1- So Hawks sends an invite to Tokoyami, because bird, and also Tenya, because he doesnt want bakugo and expects Shoto to go to his dad's. Tokoyami accepts. Tenya does not, and Hawks figures 'oh ok hes going to idaten even without his brother there', checks, and finds out that he's actually going to a tiny agency in Hosu. Hawks can connect those dots as easily as Manual can, and so he just kinda.... shows up at Manual's agency before Tenya can.
2- Manual's like "what is going on and why are you here", Hawks explains his concerns, Manual agrees he is as well, and Hawks says "great we can do an official collaboration then, the kids will train here today and i'll whisk them off to the Aviary tomorrow for the rest of the week." Manual is pretty sure thats not really how collaborative training works but is also sure Hawks will do a better job both in training and keeping murder from happening, so he agrees. Manual warns Tenya about Hawks both in a 'he WILL arrest your idiot teen self if you try to do murder and also maybe dont tell him anything sensitive ive never seen him without his mask... good luck' not that Tenya is in the mood to take advice
3- i mean Manual gave the advice nicer than that but anyway. the kids are whisked off and Hawks has them with his sidekicks for a bit, meeting with each of them a couple hours a day- asking questions about USJ, and heaping plenty of praises on Tenya for getting out to bring up backup and saving his friend Midoriya's life, plus others- and having him run faster and faster.... and training him in combat. Tenya says he doesnt think that last one's going to be helpful as he'd rarely have to fight an airborn enemy, but Hawks just draws a feather, tilts his head, and says "You sure you don't want to know how to fight someone armed with knives and swords?" and yes.... yes, Tenya very much does, he's heard bits and pieces of how Stain fights and is armed. he's seen the cuts in his brother's armor.
4- Tenya, aware he can't sneak out of this agency and that its too far to hope to get anywhere near Hosu, asks Hawks why he's getting involved just to help train him anyway. Hawks says he doesnt want Tenya throwing away a good hero career, but he doesn't see why he can't do both- make his brother and himself happy, if he's smart about it. Hawks will tell him what he knows about Stain, if Tenya tells him more about the USJ attack, and as they exchange information Hawks challenges Tenya- tomorrow, he's going to be focused on teaching Tokoyami to fly, and Tenya will be left with the intel side of the agency. If he can track down Stain from here, Hawks will consider him ready to fly closer to Hosu. Tenya agrees. Unfortunately for all parties involved, that night the League attacks Hosu!
5- The following morning, Tenya wakes up to a million messages and a video online- Stain dropped by a winged nomu onto a roof in front of Shigaraki and Kurogiri, and dusted on camera as hosu burns around them. The casualties are comparatively low- the hero Native died to Stain mere hours earlier, but Midoriya was caught in the attacks and helped evacuate others, while Shoto and Endeavor ensured most of the nomu were entirely destroyed. Tenya is furious at his missed chance, and Hawks is sorry that happened, but asks if this isn't the best way- Tensei's attacker is dead, and he doesn't have to worry about his little brother getting caught up in it anymore? Tenya is too mad to listen, so Hawks sighs, points out that Tenya does need to get faster and focus on training, but he also needs to remember he has something Hawks doesnt- a family name he gives a damn about, and sends him directly to the hospital for Tensei to handle. He gives one more hour of his time to Tokoyami, then leaves him in the care of the sidekicks as he has a meeting with the Commission.

First off, I want to say that this is my opinion and I do respect your if it’s in any way different than mine. We as humans have different experiences and those experiences shape our view of things. With that been said, apologies in advance, my english grammar is not the best, since english is my second language.
In this post I would mention triggering topics like suicide so please proceed with caution.
To start I would like to say that, initially I highly dislike Dabi, this was because of how the fandom sees him. I personally love metas and character analysis in deep and as loyal to the canon material as possible. However, in Dabi’s case, he is one of the characters that people have the worse takes on, and completely misinterpret what his actually personality is. I had seems some good ones tho.
“Dabi is a psychopath”
Now before anything let’s see the definition of a psychopath according to google:
(a person affected by chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior)(an unstable and aggressive person.)
Seems pretty accurate to how Dabi behaved, or does it?
You see, even if this might fit with Dabi’s behavior, truth is, in order to understand Dabi you need to watch what he do instead of what he says. Once he is introduce, the first thing that we are told is that he haven’t committed any flashy crimes, which means, he most likely just did a couple of petty theft in order to survive or something like it. Which means that he isn’t somebody that just kill a bunch of people randomly and just because he is crazy. In fact, all the people that he kills are either villains and heroes, which more than the actions of a psychopath, it ties more to the actions of a teenage who committed petty theft and misbehave in order to get their parents attention. Dabi’s criminal behavior is pretty accurate with what kids that are emotionally neglect by their parents do; they do everything to get positive attention and when they don’t get it, they resort to get any type of attention, even if it is negative. In fact, personally, I think that, Dabi burning Toga’s old house was a desesperate attempt to get Endeavor’s attention. Dabi’s thought process: “my father knows that I’m alive now, nobody else have blue flames, he is a hero, he is going to know if something bad happens, therefor, if he sees a house burning with blue flames, he is going to know it was me and, he is going to come” just a theory of mine.
“Dabi dones’t love his family”
This come from Shoto asking him if he knew that Ending almost killed Natsuo and Dabi saying that that would’ve been good. So, for this I would like to say that Dabi is suicidal; this is a very important, very canon fact. Suicidal people see the world in two ways, simultaneously, in one hand, they want to hold on to every reason to live, they want to see change and get out of the emotional position they are in. If you want examples, first there is when his mom was trying to stop him to go to Sekoto Peak, he first listens to what she has to say, before lashing out. Then there is Tokoyami, and Dabi asking him “who is the one that really needs saving?”, after showing him Twice dead body; almost like he has hope that Tokoyami can, at least understand that a hero killing is not right. Another instance is when he revel who he is and, after Deku fails to empathize with him, Dabi even asked Deku he doesn’t even feel bad for him. In the other hand, however, suicidal people want to die, or more specifically, they want to stop feeling, they are in too much emotional pain and want it to stop. This is why, in order to find the courage to kill themselves, they need to first, lose any reason to live. For Touya this reason is being hated by his family. If he kills Endeavor, and Shoto, if he is responsible for the death of Natsuo, half of his family would be death, and the other half would hate him for it. Therefor, giving him enough reason to die.
“Dabi hates his family”
There is a lot to unpack here. First “the women of this family are useless”. This have always been funny to me, because he doesn’t say this irrationally, there is a reason for his thought presses. First, Fuyumi, he went to ask Fuyumi why his dad didn’t let him train anymore, Fuyumi, being a kid only said “don’t know, stop hurting yourself”, words that trigger Touya because, they are not a satisfactory answer, not to mention basically a copy and paste of what Endeavor tells Touya whenever he sees him get hurt because of his own flames. Rei is something similar, with the added bonus that, her telling Touya to stop doing what he was basically breed for, and she is also part responsible for (to be honest, Rei “free will” in all of this is debatable but this post is already long enogh). So, yeah the woman in the Todoroki family are useless when it comes to Touya and the situation on the family. Also he say the woman in OUR family specifically so there is also that, he didn’t call woman in general useless.
Then, there is the sibling dynamic which at first he wasn’t very trill with Shoto and Natsuo being born, because he knew why they were there for. And this is important because, even though he have the same reaction for both Natsuo and Shoto, he ended up having a close relationship with Natsuo and hating Shoto. If you like math, the common denominator in this equation is Endeavor, and, how he made Shoto the golden child.
Also to add to this part, right after he woke up from the coma, and after being told that he might never be able to use his body and quirk the same way he did before, he still was hopeful, because all he wanted all along was Endeavor’s attention. Note: little kids don’t really develop strong desires to achieve something as early as 4 years old. If a 4 year old wants to do something really bad is most likely because their parents and/or siblings are doing it and they want to feel included. In Touya’s case though, Enji unknowingly did something call “classical conditioning”, by only giving Touya positive reinforcement when he train and give good results, he condition Touya to believe that he was only love if he train hard and was good enough.
So yeah Touya didn’t hate the woman of his family, he hated how submissive and compliant they were to what was happening in the house.
He didn’t hate his siblings, he hate that they were there to replace him and steal his dad’s attention.
And finally, even though he attacked baby Shoto, he don’t really hate Shoto, more so, he hate that he isn’t Shoto. Even in the “My hero one justice” dialogue with Shoto, he sound low key self conscious that he only has fire to fight Shoto, and in the fight of chapter 350-352 he sounds more like he thinks everything would’ve been good, if only he was good enough. Which is the most tragic thing about Touya, people saying that he was only mad that Endeavor replace him with Shoto, and didn’t care that Shoto was being beaten up. PEOPLE, the most tragic thing about Touya, is that he WANTED to be beaten up. He thinks that, that is normal, he thinks that if he would have had Shoto’s quirk, he could’ve had been the perfect master piece that his dad wanted, and he would’ve been happy. DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT? He is okay with being use, he is ok with getting burn, he is ok with being beaten up, because he thinks that that is what you need to go through to be loved.
“If only I had been perfect, you would’ve loved me”.

Re: your tags on "PM is toxic found family": Port Mafia really said "a family that represses trauma together stays together!" Which makes me want even more to grab Mori by shoulders and shake him until his backstory falls off. Stop pretending being a local cryptid that sprouted from Yokohama's soil, we know you ain't one! Asagiri better give me something, or I'll have to write four distinct Mori origin stories myself!
Please help this is so funny??? shake him til his backstory falls off i am screaming
@lovejoyog you should see this aksjdvsk
Yeah I've been fascinated by Mori from his introduction and I'm so bitter we still know nothing about him - I hope that changes soon! I think it might due to Fukuchi's connection to Tokoyami Island.
Honestly, even though I suspect Mori went through something or other (perhaps a lack of action from others around him to address a clear weakness and it cost the country?? or something like that) that justified his utilitarianism and underhandedness in his mind, I still love the stupid concept of him just waking up one day, saying "is anyone going to commit unspeakable horrors in the name of the greater good?" and then choose to fulfill that role without waiting for an answer or finding out if anyone really asked dijfvnjfsd
Nothing is more hilarious to me than the idea of the entire mafia being filled with people who have horrific trauma and then there's their boss who is just a guy who chose violence one day and is kinda funny while doing it
(In all seriousness though, Mori is a very intriguing character and there is definitely more to him. I would recommend people look back on his conversation with Hirotsu when they discuss the old boss' death - Mori almost seems conflicted, even a bit strained. One thing is definitely clear with Mori though, and that's the fact that no matter what he does, he appears adamantly convinced that it was necessary for the greater good... I just think the above is funny)
anyways thanks anon for this i cannot stop laughing. If you want to share any of your potential origins for Mori "local cryptid" Ougai, feel free to aijsdn

Thinking about how Keigo didn’t want to turn out like his parents, but he still was affected by them and has their habit of running from things he doesn’t want to face. Takami got arrested because he stole a car to escape his family, and Tomie couldn’t face Hawks after betraying him oh shit wonder what that sounds like?! I wonder if this habit of his will be called out, now that he has to face Twice and Tokoyami doesn’t let him just push people away. Y’all are bird bros.
One of my favorite musical albums, IGOR, has a line in a intermission that goes "Exactly what you run from, you end up chasing."
Now, in this album it's used in the context of love - in which Tyler the Creator falls in love with a man who is closeted and still has residual feelings for his ex-gf while also entertaining Tyler's advances and love. There's an idea that Tyler becomes this obsessive monster stuck in a loop called IGOR. He keeps pulling and pushing, in this scared loop of love, anger, fear, rejection, and then hope - one of the interesting things about IGOR is that the album itself is a loop - the last song ARE WE STILL FRIENDS blends back into IGOR'S THEME. The sad implication that even after Tyler cuts his lover off, his needing to be close to him will leave to him falling in love once more despite the constant heartbreak.
I think about loops and running away into the same patterns over again a lot when it comes to Keigo. I don't really see people talk about Tomie the way I do, in realizing that she kind of created the circumstances in which Keigo was raised and kept it going, up until Thief was out of there permanently. And, as you say, she keeps running then.
It's interesting - I feel that while people focus a lot on Hawks's father, but Keigo, in my opinion, might be his mother's son. Doomed to repeat things despite there being no end. Running away from his problems. Clinging on to something to keep going. I wonder if Tokoyami will break that loop. It's interesting but our introduction to their relationship is Tokoyami flying after him, trying to catch up to him. Hawks doesn't slow down for him, of course, but it's interesting that you bring up Fumi's potential role in making Hawks finally face reality.
Hawks is the man who is too fast. Too fast for his past to catch up to him. Now he has to face it in the present, and there's nowhere left to run to. It'd be interesting if the kid chasing him all this time is the one who helps him actually touch ground for a second.

Seat 21 - Chapter One
A/N; Welcome to chapter one, y’all! I really hope you like it, ik this is all introductory stuff, but I’m soso passionate about this fic and my ocs in it. Enjoy!!
-
It surprised me when I got into the prestigious school of UA. Despite the family history, I made it. Though, I think mama was more surprised than I was.
The school map was crisp in my hands, pink highlighter circling my classroom several times over. 
Room 1-A. Homeroom teacher; Aizawa Shouta.
Lively noise already came from the closed sliding doors. Bickering and friendly chatter alike. 
Lifting up my glasses, I adjust my mask one last time before opening the doors.
Silence.
Eyes on me.
My throat closes, I blink harshly.
Then, back to the noise.
My throat opens back up.
With a quick scan, I spot a few semi-familiar faces.
The pink girl, from exams.
And the electric boy, also from exams.
And, to my extreme relief; Tokoyami Fumikage, who has left the seat next to him empty.
Chastly, I hurry my way up the fourth column of seats; sitting down in the one next to Tokoyami.
Now, I wouldn’t exactly label me and Tokoyami friends. Moreso, close allies.
“Mayumi! We’re glad to see you!” Dark Shadow’s perky, yet distorted voice comes from my left. Turning, I see both of them looking at me.
Thank you. I’m glad to see you both as well. Congratulations.  I sign, fingers moving swiftly.
“And congratulations to you as well Hinode. Dark Shadow and I look forward to continue working together.” Tokoyami’s voice has gotten ever so slightly deeper over the break, though it may just be my imagination.
The bickering starts to become louder at the front of the class, drawing everyone’s attention. 
The blond boy seems to be aggravating the situation, escalating it far more than it needs to. The one with navy hair isn’t much better, he has blinkers on and keeps pursuing his pointless version of justice. All over his feet on the table.
An unstoppable object meets an immovable force.
“This class is certainly more lively than the years past, is it not?” Tokoyami mumbles, a vague amusement in his tone.
I nod in agreement, unsure of how to feel.
The door slides open; the first person to enter since myself.
Once again, all eyes turn to him; myself no longer exempt. His green hair is unruly, with wide green eyes to match. 
His freckled skin and scared expression mirror my own just minutes before.
The navy haired boy’s attention is sharply snatched away from the blond as he storms over to the new boy.
“Hello! I am from Somei Private Academy, my name is-”
“I know! I heard!” The smaller boy puts his hands up in an almost defending position, shying away. 
“I’m Midoriya, it’s nice to meet you Iida.” A nervous smile dons his face.
A boy after my own anxious heart. A small smile and a bit of comfort come from finding someone likeminded so quickly.
One of the girls in the class bounds up, excitedly running towards the pair. Her speech is fast, and far softer than Iida’s boistrosity and Midoriya’s anxious yells, so I don’t catch exactly what she says.
But, Midoriya’s heart eyes tell me all I need to know about what he thinks. I barely stifle a laugh.
Tokoyami raises an eyebrow.
They’re cute, no? I sign, silent chuckles shaking my shoulders.
“I would have to agree. Though let’s hope they’re not oblivious.” The bird-headed boy sighs.
A gravelly, but loud voice comes from the hall.
“Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends. This is the hero course.” A long yellow, Thing stands up before unzipping.
A raggedy looking man in all black emerges from what I now recognise as a sleeping bag. This must be our teacher.
“It took you all eight seconds before you were quiet, and time is limited.”
Sluggishly, the man strolls to the front and centre of the classroom.
“I am Aizawa Shouta, and I will be your homeroom teacher here at UA. Today we will be doing a quirk assessment test.”
The first part I expected; there was no way this man was not our teacher.
The second part, not so much.
My quirk is so limited in its safe use, surely Aizawa sensei knows this?
“Meet me outside on the oval asap. In your sports uniform.” Aizawa grumbles.
A panicked rush overtakes the room, everyone scrambling for their bags as well as the nearest changeroom.
Soon enough, we are all outside and changed.
Aizawa sensei explains that the tests will be the same physical tests as middle and elementary school; but with a twist.
We are allowed to use our quirks.
And the person ranking last will be expelled.
The blond boy goes first, showing that his explosivity is in more than his nature as he blasts the softball across the oval with miniature explosions.  
Everyone is silent in awe as Aizawa sensei lists of the physical exams.
First, the 50 meter dash.
My quirk will be of no use here, and I’m painfully aware of that.
Again, the boy with the explosion quirk excells, as does the loud boy - Iida? - from this morning.
Myself, not so much.
The pink girl lines herself up next to me, sparing me a smile before the timer starts. 
As soon as it does, she takes off -  sliding on a strange transparent liquid that secreets itself from her skin.
Not long after, a blond boy shoots past, a bright laser coming from his stomach.
My regular run seems pathetic in comparison. 
The side steps, long jump, distance run and ball throw were equally as pathetic.
I was nearly last, only beaten by Midoriya; who looked about as miserable as I felt.
And the only reason I stood a chance against him, was because of the sit up exercise. 
Thankfully, my core strength hadn’t failed me; making me the most successful in that task.
Exhausted, I sit beside Tokoyami as our classmates line up for the last exam; the ball throw.
“How did you go?” The raven-headed boy asks non-chalantly.
Don’t expect to see me here tomorrow. I sign.
“That poorly?” He hums, leaning back on outstretched arms.
“You’re always such a cynic, Mayumi.” Dark Shadow whines, curling around Tokoyami’s shoulder.
I wave them both off, turning my attention back to our classmates.
Most have finished, leaving just one.
Midoriya.
From afar, he seems to shrink into himself as sensei speaks; the latter’s hair somehow floating.
A solemn nod, and my heart hurts for my peer.
Right before he launches the softball further into the distance than I could ever imagine.
I can’t control the gasp that leaves me, hands immediately going to cover my mouth - before reaching the familiar cotton.
“That is certainly impressive,” Tokoyami comments, surprise evident in his tone.
“See sensei,” Midoriya’s cry echos over the sports field.
“I can still fight!”
My heart warms for the boy. 
Though, it seems not everyone’s does.
The explosive boy launches himself towards Midoriya, sparks flying from his clenched fists. Midoriya and I flinch back almost in sync, before the other boy is stopped.
What I just assumed was a scarf; entangels the blond boy - Aizawa sensei wielding the other end. His hair raises again; and the sparks die in the boy’s hands.
How?
Oh.
O h.
“Enough.” Aizawa snaps, tugging at the material.
The boy falls into the tan dust of the field.
“Don’t make me use my quirk more than necessary; it gives me dry eyes.” Even from several feet away, I see the scarlet glow.
Oh, this is certainly awkward.
Now I’m certain I’ll be the one expelled.

I've been wondering for so long why Hawks is my favorite when I connect so much with the villains, and I think I finally got an answer. Or one of them in regards to: why do I dislike being shown the villains as sad kids, but care more about Hawks' shitty life as an adult? It's because the villain's backstories' are so far in the past that they've become different people, and although the past still affects them, the story treats it as a way to "we need to remind you of who you used to be! bring you back to that trauma and then force you to be saved!" all to give them closure. That they're not looking for, because they're not "unfortunate" right? They're "happy." While Hawks is just a normal guy moving through life with all that trauma and nobody pays any mind to it, and isn't that so real? We all do that. Nobody is out here forcing us to change our bad actions or talking about our inner child, anyone I know only looks at the current you. It's all the present and the future and maybe that's why my heart keeps leaning towards Hawks despite understanding the villains.
Even if nobody does anything in an extravagant way to save him, it's okay. Because that's life, sometimes you have to save yourself. Often, that's an always. And moving through life you sometimes meet people who end up saving you in small ways in regards to other things, like helping you realize you can rely on and work with others. (Tokoyami.) Just being there to lend a hand when you need one, not leaving you alone during tough times. (Jeanist.) Could be someone you see a mirror of yourself in. (Nagant.) People you wish to help, and that keeps your spirit alive. (Endeavor and the Todoroki Family.) It keeps a little color in the world, gives something to trust, something telling you you're still needed, something that lets you accept hope into your heart and try once more, keep going. All these little things that spill a trickle of water from a full glass to keep things from overflowing. Kinda like why people recommend getting out more huh? Won't fix everything, but it'll take you away from the Bad Place for a bit, so it doesn't consume you.
Hori throws him a bone every now and then, and Hawks works with it. Anyone's whose ever been down in the dumps, but gotten slight victories that make their situation more manageable, or gotten involved in something that made them feel a little more active and engaged with the world and a little less dispirited might be able to relate. I think this is where his "optimism" comes from. Like a carrot on a stick, he can also always choose to not care, not think it's enough, but he lets it be enough for him and convinces himself that "if this" then "that too" it'll all be okay, soon. One day. Just don't give up or give in. I can see why his plushie was made out to be such a huge support, even though all that strength was really coming from inside him. It's just admirable, how he kept going y'know?
The story choosing to give him his freedom back is proof that he deserved to be saved, and that just because you're seen as an "adult" doesn't mean you won't be. And it happened in such a real way. A little odd if you're critiquing narrative choices, but more real than what the villains will get. Sometimes shit just happens and you can say bye-bye to your old employer, what can I say? Sometimes you struggle and then things just come up and all of a sudden your situation is vastly different than before, though maybe you still need to work things out. Maybe it's just your patience and good karma coming back to you. It's all so real and something that happens and can happen to any of us. Even his familial trauma is not something that gets a flashy shounen battle and several people talking to him about it, it's all something he lives with on his own, until he's able to let go of it. And it's lowkey forced upon him, but the relief he feels over it? Fate making that choice for him so he's able to accept it more easily himself without the guilt? Even though that's such a sad way for it to happen too? It's all so darn quiet, freedom and clarity, a win with a sense of loss, I can't. Dang Hori, he's such a human character.
I don't want to keep this sitting in my inbox any longer. It deserves to be shared with you all. My life has completely fallen apart at the moment and my brain is too mushy to add anything meaningful. But you articulated exactly why I gravitate towards Hawks. He's realistic, multidimensional, complex and his struggles are relatable.
And the villains, while I find them super interesting and relatable sometimes, they've lost my sympathy at global terrorism, yanno?
One of the things I love about the story Hori telling is how trauma affects people differently. The villains are stuck in their anger, to the point where they’ve lost the reason why they were angry in the first place.
And Hawks is the reminder to keep moving forward. He’s the gentle hope that everything will be okay. That kindness will be repaid.
And then i get super fucking enraged that the HPSC tried to manipulate that hope and kindness IN A CHILD but Hawks never lost it... but that's a rant for another time-

I do love send my thoughts here. And I was thinking about the trope the fandom loves to use in fics. "Izu is kidnaped" which I guess could work
But back at the day when Izu solo arc begins...many people were throwing jokes (if it wasnt "hahaha Inko or Ochako will beat him up" then it was "he is going to be kidnapee) and the butt of the joke is Izu needing be saved by friends....
But...BK was kidnaped and people use this to shit on Ayoama...
If Izu kidnap happened...then yeah it would serve to "look at BK saving Izu. He cares" or another joke.
What is my point here? I just dont get the hype for "Izu is kidnaped"?
Hi @mikeellee 👋,
Thank you :) I like answering your asks and hearing your thoughts too.
I think the hype for this trope in fanfics is so that the characters have an opportunity to show how much they (mainly class 1A and Dadzawa) care for Izuku and what lengths they would go to to get him back. It's largely a wish fulfillment story thread relating to the wish to see Class 1A as a family.
However, saying that, it is a very weird juxtaposition to see how fans leapt to dunk on Izuku or make jokes during his expense during the solo arc. Saying things like,
"I bet Todoroki is going to be so mad Izuku didn't confide in him about OFA then ran away. Right when Todoroki needs him after finding out about Dabi too. What a fake friend. 💔."
"I hope Bakugou tells Izuku off and beats some sense into him - how could you leave your soulmate behind, Deku? 🧡💚"
"I bet Uraraka is going to be so angry at Izuku for leaving her. I hope she yells at him and drags him home to UA for a shower! Stinky boy!"
"I hope we see Inko hit Izuku with her slipper for this! Haha."
None of this is funny to me. Izuku essentially was told flat out by AFO that he is a target of his. Izuku left his friends, his mother and his dream school because he felt they would be in danger by association with him. This decision hurt him immensely to take yet most of the fans fail to see this. Class 1A themselves fail to see this and claim mostly that he is looking down on them, while also allowing Bkg (someone openly hostile to Izuku) to lead them in a fight against him instead of approaching the situation empathetically like a friend would. Ok Hori, who is looking down on who here?
Class 1A, like the fans in their majority, only think of what they as Class 1A want in relation from Izuku, so they beat him down (literally and figuratively) -Bakugou gives a shit apology all about himself then Izuku collapses from exhaustion. And they drag Izuku back to UA.
Contrast with Bakugou's kidnapping - no one in the narrative and few fans outside of it recognise Bakugou's own fault in the situation. They use it to shit on Aoyama instead when;
Aoyama still, regardless of being the traitor, gave Izuku Shoji and Todoroki an opening to save Tokoyami and Bakugou from the LOV.
Bakugou refusing to leave the fight/retreat back to base even when named as a target of the LOV, only aided the LOV's kidnapping of him. Him retreating would have made the LOV's job much harder to kidnap him - if not outright prevented it in the first place.
The LOVs interest (mainly Shigaraki's) was only peaked due to Bakugou acting like a rabid Dog and UA being dumb enough to chain Bakugou up and present him to the press instead of fiegning illness for Bakugou or something.
TLDR- the fandom hype for the trope of "Izuku is kidnapped" is wish fulfilment for Class 1A as a family trope, Dadzawa trope (mostly) and some BkDk fans (those who like to see Bkg as Izuku's knight in shining armor in fics.)
How Bkg and Izuku are treated in their absences from UA (Izuku's solo arc and Bkgs kidnapping) contrasted by both the fandom and the narrative is gross.
Bakugou plays more (indirect) fault in how his kidnapping occurred and it is wrong to use this moment as a way to shit on Aoyama.
Izuku plays less fault in what had occurred and always had good intentions about leaving UA. Class 1A failed to show empathy to him in this situation and the fandom focused on everyone else's possible feelings about the situation rather than Izuku's. Which is sad especially as Izuku is meant to be the MC.
But I can't entirely blame them either... How long has it actually been since we have seen the story give Izuku's feelings any insight?

Hello! I really enjoy reading your stuff about Tokoyami and Hawks! What do you think will happen between the two of them going forward?? Also, do you have any opinions on Hawks’ relationships with other characters?? Do you like any of his ships?? Hope you have a good weekend!
Anon, I'm so so so sorry it took me a while to answer this. To be honest, this ask caused me to spiral in my thoughts for months!! Because I have so many thoughts!! And Hawks is a hard character to understand sometimes... but so many things about him probably have simpler answers than we think. Before I start, I so appreciate you saying you like what I have to say! I really try to be thoughtful about Hawks and how I discuss him because I’ve seen so many misconceptions about his character and how that can lead to not understanding what he represents in the story.
Despite Hawks not being revealed until Act 2 of the story, there is significant narrative importance placed on him and his relationship with Tokoyami. And there’s a reason that we’ve seen Hawks refuse to interact with Tokoyami since the war. I had thought that Tokoyami would have a chance to confront Hawks before another clash with the villains, so to see them in the same group confronting AFO was very surprising. But for a while, I'd been expecting that Horikoshi would at least place them near each other in the last big fight, so I suppose their confrontation will just be more action infused than I’d predicted.
The way I see it, Hawks is going to find it very difficult facing his mentee, given the danger he put Tokoyami in and the guilt he’s almost certainly harboring over it. Tokoyami could have died trying to save him! And that’s not something that Hawks, “the hero who’s a bit too fast,” has ever had to grapple with before... someone stepping in and saving him at the potential expense of their life. He doesn’t want to face it. But by not letting Hawks turn away from him, Tokoyami will help Hawks face the way he understands and accepts his purpose in life, i.e. “Why do you even have those wings?” which, under the influence of his parents, the HPSC, and hero society as a whole, gave Hawks an extremely unhealthy sense of self.
And I think Tokoyami CAN save Hawks! It’s just a matter of making Hawks see his value in a different light, that someone else sees his value beyond his quirk. And helping him see how everything shouldn’t fall on his shoulders, that he shouldn’t have to dirty his hands for everyone else to feel safe, and that his parent’s choices (which they took their anger and fear out on him for) were not his responsibility.
As for his relationships with other characters, I love the dichotomy between Hawks and Dabi, which has just become more complex as the story has gone on, and how everything that happens to them is essentially opposite with what happens to the other. It’s fascinating! And interesting to see how fandom can judge them so differently because... phew. I think in a lot of ways, to have a fair understanding of one of them, you have to have a fair understanding of the other. Neither had a chance to develop a sense of self without the direct influence of hero society telling them who they should and shouldn’t be. They’re both trying to fulfill a purpose that is detrimental to them.
His relationship with Endeavor is incredibly complex. To understand Hawks as a fanboy and nothing more is to misunderstand him completely. He sees Endeavor as his symbol of hope, and places a great deal of expectation on him. It’s unfair, given that Endeavor is essentially an acquaintance and a coworker at best, but we have to consider what we know about Hawks’ family and his upbringing. He didn’t have role models but he did have the real life manifestation of a hero save him from abuse and poverty. It took more steps for the HPSC to find him but Endeavor was the catalyst of changing his perspective and life. So when he supports Endeavor as a hero, it’s not because he wants to ignore that he abused his family. Hawks is a victim of abuse as well. But Hawks projects his ideas about being able to face his parents onto the Todoroki’s. He never had the chance to do that, and because they’re all trying to work together now, he wants to help them. And also, he wants to uplift his symbol of hope, because if he falls, then where does that leave Hawks?
Hawks and All Might share similarities that we can attribute to a Savior Complex. They both determine their worth by how they can help people. While Deku has his own questionable sense of worth, I think he became similar to Hawks during his hunt for AFO by opting to isolate himself on his mission. I appreciate that Hawks tried to help Deku as much as he could, and made sure to check on him (ex. after Nagant exploded from the inside, he called out, “Midoriya’s badly hurt! He needs help too...”) and that he has a keen understanding of Deku’s desire to stop AFO as fast as possible.
As for ships, I think Dabi x Hawks is full of potential for pre-war/au fun and angst. However, I really love Hawks x Fuyumi. I think they’d actually fit really well if Hawks were to genuinely grow out of how he understands his sense of worth.
Thank you so much for the ask! I wasn’t kidding about the spiral though. I’m still working on a longer meta since I really wanted to expand on the first question since Hawks has maybe the most compelling arc in the story for me personally, and I believe Tokoyami will have a significant role in saving Hawks from what society made him.

I feel like a sentiment where Shoto is being ignored in the twitter might be a bit over exaggerated. It couldn't be more than 5 minutes after Shoto put out Toya's fire.
The entire family is currently in incapacitated in some ways either by 3rd degree burns or sheer physical and mental exhaustion from overtaxing their quirks. The siblings’s focus is on Rei, who’s heavily injured and Endeavor is busy trying to keep Toya alive while he himself is half dead already.
They also notice a sudden influx of Twice clones, so their focused are immediately drawn to an upcoming tsunami of death. I'd say just give them a pass this one time. It’s just everything’s happening all at once that them genuinely ignore Shoto.
Sure, but I think you can say the same about Hawks - and he's still cradling Tokoyami with affection. For Shouto, nobody even looks at his way or reacts to his fainting.
I think the Shouto fandom has a right to be upset. It's very different treatment from other characters:
When Bakugou went down, the entire battlefield sacrificed themselves to save him and revive him. BJ is hovering over him immediately and Edgeshot becomes his heart.
When Tokoyami fought, Hawks was holding him the whole time, and when he passed out, he cradled him.
When Mina fainted, Kirishima was there to catch him.
I can go on and on. Shouto got no comfort from his family, not just now, but EVER. They rallied around Endeavor after the war. They rallied around Touya now.
When Shouto came and saved them, they didn't really acknowledge his presence or his words. Endeavor crawled over to Touya, to put his hand on his heart. But nobody touched Shouto.
So it is upsetting, especially if you couple it with everything that came before - how Shouto is one of the most hurt characters in this entire story and he gets no relief whatsoever. Or how Shouto was forcibly separated from the class during Izuku's return to UA and was just left hanging in that place of hurt/no comfort, completely ignored by everyone.
And yeah, I'm still hoping it's not the end, that we will see more of Shouto and he will get to be something other than the guy who keeps putting out the fire that he shouldn't be responsible for. But right now, in the headspace we are left, it almost feels like Shouto has to atone for just existing. That he just has to give without ever getting anything back, that no matter how much he gives, he just doesn't belong anywhere - not his family, not his friends - and it's potentially a really shitty place to end his character.
And I think people who are invested in his arc have the right to discuss this and vent about this. If you don't want to see it, just mute it on Twitter.

Chapter Thoughts: 376 — On Knife’s Edge
Back from a pretty intense string of work days and not-long-enough vacation, and getting back into the meta! I don't have a tremendous amount to say about this very transitional chapter, but have a small collection of observations anyway:
O  Other than just for the visual, I wonder why Toga partially detransforms when she notices Ochaco and Tsuyu’s arrival?  I suppose if she isn’t transformed, she can stop her timer on it, giving her more time transformed later, but it seems like the camouflage would be more valuable any way you cut it.    
O  Loling at Kinoko complaining about having her spores counteracted by Dabi’s fire again, just like at the Villa against Machia.    
O  Haha, wow, that translation about getting the defeated villains away from the scene lest they get burned up is way different from the leaker’s translation that they had to be gotten away lest they be set free (presumably by the Twice Legion).
It’s certainly true, though, that Dabi does not have a history of being extraordinarily careful about where his fire goes.  Indeed, one of the big differences between Todoroki combatants and, say, Geten is that Geten has very fine control over his element but can’t produce it out of thin air, whereas the Todorokis can freely create their element but have minimal control over it after they’ve manifested it.  They can’t extinguish their own flames (nor Shouto vaporize his ice), which is perhaps a decent parallel for the way their family problems likewise tend to require a measure of outside intervention.    
O  Jirou’s line about the Demon Lord feels a bit off to me, like she’s buying into AFO’s narrative in ways that I don’t know if feel terribly in character for her.  Tokoyami I can absolutely see calling AFO by that moniker, but Jirou?  Some of that could be chalked up to C. Cook’s oft-erratic attempts to localize idioms or different levels of formality, but this one’s straight out of the Japanese.    
O  It's telling, I think, that for all the time and page count spent implying that heroes are never going to win this without finding a different approach, and the same amount of focus on Class 1-A being the path to a brighter future full of better heroes, here we see that for at least some of the students, they are still very much mired in a fight or flight binary.
To wit, Tokoyami says that there's nothing they can do here, so they must flee. One or the other, not even a thought to finding another solution. Talking to the villains is not even tabled, despite that being exactly what Ochaco charged after Toga yelling about wanting to do.
Now, of course, the heroes have repeatedly squandered a lot of their less high-stakes chances in this regard, so the villains are very much not in a place that they're at all easy to talk to (though AFO leaving the field would sure help), but that's kind of the whole point. Heroes reject all opportunities to talk to villains in favor of just stopping them, no questions asked about why they're acting the way they are, and so the villains just come back more violent, more extremist, and less open to communication each time. That is the cycle that cannot be broken until, as Nedzu said, someone takes the difficult and frightening first step of changing it.
Shouto's made some attempts and at least got Dabi talking; Mirio made a single quip about Shigaraki lacking friends and made ShigAFO go totally haywire; Deku is looking for signs of an opening to make dialogue. For all that I think they were trite, even victim-blamey nonsense, the effects of Shouji's words are clear: he brought a riot to a standstill.
To say the least, I'll be watching closely what Ochaco does next. Unlike Tokoyami,* she has not at all raised the possibility of fleeing, and, while the narrative jumping around and Toga's own difficulty in being pinned down keep cutting her off, she has made a few attempts at engaging Toga verbally. Here's hoping she gets the time to finally go all-in.    
O  Touya promising to destroy as much as he can of what Endeavor is trying to protect is a curious line in the current context.  Who or what is there, here, that Endeavor is protecting that Dabi hasn’t already destroyed, and that would be compelling and relevant?  There’re all the kids, of course, but much more prominent in the Todoroki story in general is Hawks.
There’s no shortage of people suggesting that a second confrontation between Dabi and Hawks would give Endeavor a chance to intervene in some fashion, and I quite like the idea of Endeavor having to save his eldest from Hawks’ ruthless pragmatism.  Conversely, saving Hawks from Dabi would send all the wrong messages!  On the other hand, Hawks really does need to—as AFO points out—face the consequences of his murder of Twice, and while Dabi has some precedent for involvement in that plot, Endeavor decidedly does not, and I’d kind of hate to see Toga’s plot, and Ochaco’s along with it, get sucked into the Todoroki Family Drama.
Something to keep an eye on!    
O  AFO’s comment about Kurogiri is potentially very interesting, but a little thin at the moment to bank much on.  Did he expect Kurogiri to come to him, so Kurogiri not having done so is sub-optimal?  But Kurogiri’s whole purpose was to look after Shigaraki Tomura, so unless he gave Kurogiri instructions otherwise, of course Kurogiri would go to Shigaraki!  But then x2, if he gave Kurogiri explicit instructions to come to him and Kurogiri didn’t follow them, wouldn’t he remark on that in somewhat stronger terms than just vague musings about what Kurogiri probably did?
My hope is that Kurogiri’s reactivation is in some fashion not quite as AFO expected thanks to Spinner using The Hand and his own naked plea instead of a voice recording, and that this small change will balloon outward in ways that complicate AFO’s plans.  I don’t think we can quite say that for sure based just on his very tiny proviso, but it wouldn’t be out of keeping for AFO to downplay anything that goes in the slightest wrong, so I definitely don’t think we can rule it out yet, either!  Fingers crossed.    
O  It was and continues to be hilarious that Hawks can still delay AFO when they both know good and well he’s on borrowed time by asking him more needling questions about his plans.  I would ask AFO if he’s capable of pressing pause on the stereotypical Evil Overlord behavior for one single minute, but I know he isn’t, nor would he want to be.    
O  Hmm.  Back in Chapter 354, Hawks thinks very explicitly that Endeavor as he is now (or at least as he was in Chapter 354) could not fight and beat Dabi.  Yet here, Hawks begs him to “put a stop to Touya.”  Now, I don’t for a moment think that Hawks has really stopped thinking of Dabi as Dabi; I’m altogether sure he just used the name Touya for Endeavor’s sake.  But does he think Endeavor can do this now?  Has something in Endeavor’s various proclamations over the course of the fight changed his mind?  Or does he still not really believe Endeavor can win, and that’s the reason he lays out the stakes at such length, and then openly begs him—please, put a stop to Touya?
Of course, one also can’t discount the possibility that he is also wagering Endeavor is less likely to die against Dabi than he is in a continued battle with AFO.  Be it personal affection or the stark calculus of keeping the Number One alive for future battles now that the current plan has failed, we certainly can’t take Hawks jerking AFO’s chain about how Endeavor’s already beaten him and doesn’t need to do so again at face value.
(Mind you, Hawks successfully jerking AFO’s chain about how he lost to Endeavor is very funny.  Truly, if it weren’t for the fact that engaging AFO is keeping Hawks from much more interesting confrontations, I’d say they deserve each other. As it is, I would like AFO to kick that bird out of the sky now, please and thank you.)    
O  Endeavor getting the tiniest bits of eye-shine in that last panel there, I see.  As indicators go for how Horikoshi wants us to read his feelings towards Touya, that’s a fairly positive one, particularly for Enji.  Judging from a quick scan through his wiki gallery and a few of his key scenes, eye-shine is quite rare for him; I could only find it for his two, “Watch me,” statements to news cameras, a little bit during the High End fight, and this chapter’s final panel.  Best of luck with those good intentions, Enji!  Because man, are you going to need it.
---
* Who is, after all, Hawks' protégé. Hawks blatantly self-sabotaged his own, single attempt to talk down a villain, and has otherwise shown less than zero inclinations to try and talk any of his opponents down. He's the man who's a bit too fast, after all, not the man who engages in lengthy and uncertain negotiations with terrorists in hopes of defusing the situations they've caused. Between the man who moves too fast and his Plus Ultra-oriented curricula, small wonder Tokoyami hasn't learned a thing about de-escalation!

Chapter 14
Bakugou walked over and unlocked the window then walked out the door and down the hall to the lobby “hey guys come on.” Todoroki looked at bakugou “we’re leaving?” "No we’re only allowed two at a time that isn't mom or dad and kirishima and tokoyami are already in there but she wants everyone in there so I’m gonna sneak the rest of you in. I’m gonna need your ice Todoroki and I’m gonna boost everyone to her window, it’s unlocked so the guys will let you in." As everyone followed bakugou out of the building trying to locate the window. After thinking he found the right side of the building. Tsu tapped Bakugou’s shoulder, “I can climb walls, would you like me to climb up and see if we’re in the right location?” Bakugou looked at Tsu smiling “I didn’t know you had a quirk?” Tsu awkwardly giggled “yeah I didn’t tell a lot of people, I can also help carry people if they’re ok holding onto me while I climb.” “Actually I think I have an idea. Icy hot can you get Momo and yourself up there? Deku, you’re able to use black whip to get up there as long as you have something to grab. Right? And I can blast my way up, and Mina I can take you with me or you can go with Tsu?” Mina smiled, "I'll tag along with Tsu, her quirk has a little less fire." Everyone chuckled and Tsu began climbing looking for Tokoyami. After scaling 4 floors up and six different windows Tsu finally spotted Tokoyami and Kirishima and knocked on the window to have them open it. Then Bakugou shot himself up to help the other. First Todoroki and Momo, then Deku and Ochako, then Tsu made it back down to help Mina up. As everyone made it into the room everyone rushed over to hug you. Everyone began talking over each other “we’ve missed you.” “Why didn’t you just tell us.” “You scared us!” Bakugou walks over “Hey chill, she’s had a lot on her plate over the last couple months and as selfish as her actions may seem… she stated she walked away cause she didn’t want everyone ruining their lives trying to take care of her and the baby. Cause every single person here would of put their life on hold to make sure she was ok at all times. And I understand that’s what makes you all her family.. But she’s stubborn, you should all know that."
Tumblr media
 *Bzzzz Bzzzz* Momo pulls out her phone (Jeffrey) “I’m glad you all made it up there ok, I can take off until she’s ready to come back to the house if you’d like Miss Momo.” Momo tapped Bakugou and whispered “hey can we fit one more in here, it’s my butler, he took care of y/n ever since we found out she was pregnant. I think it’d mean a lot to her to see him.” Bakugou looked around “alright, even though there’s not enough seats, find one. The floor, the end of the bed, I don’t care just make room.” Mina and Tsu sat on the bench by the window and Ochako sat in a chair. Deku stood behind Ochako's chair holding her hand Tokoyami was leaned against the wall at the end of the bed and Kirishima still had Tokashima in his arms relaxing on the edge of the bed while you stared at them both. Momo tell him to come to this side of the building I’ll go down to get him. A few minutes later Momo spotted Jeffrey at the bottom of the building “Miss Momo, what am I doing?” Bakugou jumped down using a controlled explosion to soften his landing. “So you’re Sir Bakugou. I have to give it to you, I didn’t see this part coming, and I’m always see things coming.” Bakugou chuckled “That’s funny cause I’m usually the one always right. Come on. You have someone you need to meet.” “Sir Bakugou, I seen when I’ll meet Tokashima, and it’s not til-“ “shut up old man, you talk too much”. Bakugou grabbed the back of Jeffrey's jacket and made his way back to the room. Bakugou entered first, then Jeffrey stumbled and followed in. “You are exactly how Miss Y/Ln explained,-“ You stood up from the bed “Jeffrey?” Jeffrey looked over “Miss Y/N, you shouldn’t be out of bed, you just had a baby, I brought you extra clothes, I picked them out hoping they’ll fit you.” You giggled “Jeffrey, you can see what is gonna happen so you know it’s going to fit.” “Incorrect Miss Y/N, I wasn’t supposed to see you for another 2 days and that’s when I was gonna meet you and Tokashima. I-“ Todoroki looked at Bakugou “is that his name?” Bakugou’s face turned red. “Yes, that is what I decided to name him.” Deku and Todoroki smiled at Kirishima and Tokoyami who were still focused on Tokashima. Momo smiled “you named him after his two uncles…” Tokoyami and Kirishima both looked up at Momo. “Huh?” Kirishima looked at Momo confused. Tsu laughed “can’t you see it, he took the Tok from Tokoyami’s name and the ishima sound from Kirishima’s name and he made Tokashima. He named him after the two most important people in their lives. Kirishima walked over to you, placing your sleeping son back in your arms and then walked to Bakugou and gave him a hug “what the hell shitty hair!” “Oh shut up Bakugou! You act so damn manly all the time and the one time I except you to be selfish and you weren't” Bakugou growled “don’t make a habit out of this.” Everyone walked over and hugged Bakugou taking advantage of Kirishima restraining him. You went to grab your phone but couldn’t reach it. “Don’t worry Miss Y/n, I already got a few pictures” You smiled “did you wanna hold him Jeffrey?” Jeffrey smiled "I would love too, but I also need to go get you different clothes so Sir Bakugou can help you into them."  
The room had so much happiness and was buzzing with conversations. Tsu and the other girls were all discussing who gets to hold the baby next while the guys were congratulating Bakugou and asking what the plans were for living arrangements.. And now that Bakugou knows, you're not even sure what your next step from here is. All Tokashima's stuff is at Momo's already setup and maybe staying there would be best for now cause Jeffrey could watch him while you were at school if he was ok with that. Granted the only thing left is finals and then class is out til Fall Semester. Bakugou looked at you overwhelmed. You smiled and mouthed It's ok, breathe. A nurse opened the door as she knocked not giving anyone time to find a place to hide. "Holy, ok extremely against policy.. How did all of you get here and where's- ok, There's momma and baby. Ok so have we thought of a name. Everyone spoke all at different time. "Hey! 1. Talking to mom and dad wherever he is. 2. Baby is in here, keep it down." Bakugou pushed through his friends "His names Tokashima Bakugou." The nurse smiled, "That’s a beautiful name, and as much as you're all going to hate this, Mom and baby need sleep and dad is the only one who can stay so the rest will have to make their way out and return tomorrow when we release her." Everyone agreed and gave hugs saying goodbye. After everyone left Bakugou put Tokoshima in his bed and laid next to you and you both fell asleep.
Throughout the night Tokashima woke up every couple hours to eat but fell right back to sleep. A nurse walked in around 9am waking Bakugou with enough time to run to Momo's. *Knock Knock* The door opened "Well good morning Sir Bakugou, Is Miss Y/LN ready to come home? I have Tokashima's car seat?" "Uh no, I was wondering about the outfit you said you had for her. She seems to really like the things you pick out for her but she and Tokashima are being released today." Jeffrey smiled "Oh of course, I can go and grab it. You can come in if you'd like, I just finished making Y/n favorite breakfast. I was going to take her some." Bakugou looked around "So this is where she's been?" Jeffrey walked up the stairs "Yeah, I can show you her and Tokashima's-" Bakugou interrupted "Did you know I was gonna find out.. Eventually? Y/n said your quirk was seeing what a person future is like but only a certain length at a time.. Did you know-"  "That you'd be the one to name your son, and that you'd be here picking up her clothes.." Jeffrey chuckled. Bakugou looked at Jeffrey nervously "Yeah, all that." Jeffrey opened the bedroom door "Yes, why do you think I conveniently had her food done the moment you made it here. I know a lot of what's going to happen. But no, I can not tell you any of it because it could cause issues with how things play out." Bakugou smiled "That's ok, but can you at least teach me how to make her favorites.. I want her to be able to still have them when/if she moves in with me." Jeffrey smiled handing bakugou a bookbag of clothes "Here Mr. Bakugou, and of course I'll teach you. I've had her with me a lot longer than you had the privilege of having her." Bakugou grabbed the bag and sighed "yeah, I believe I'm to blame for that.." Jeffrey froze for a few moments looking at Bakugou before smiling and pulling his hand away then turned to lead Bakugou to the garage "No, Mr. Bakugou you're not. The first time I met y/n, her future was set on leaving town with the baby and you weren't going to know. Kirishima was gonna leave with her and it tore her apart everyday to see how much her son looked like you, and boy did she miss you. It was Miss Momo, I, Mr. Kirishima and Mr. Todoroki who changed that course. Mr. Kirishima was just going along with her plan cause he didn’t wanna lose her. But in no way was he trying or was going to be able to fill the void you left behind. It was always you that she wanted Mr. Bakugou."
Bakugou stood there trying to control his thoughts. "So she was gonna leave... What happened? Did she ever come back? Did I ever meet my son? Did Kir-" "Bakugou stop... You don't want to know the pain she caused herself in that future.. You don't want to know the tears she shed behind closed doors. I didn't see much but I seen enough to know it wasn't a good life but at the time she felt it was the best for YOU. Miss Y/LN is always thinking about you, and how it'll effect your future." Bakugou looked disappointed. "I just wish she would have known that the future I wanted was with her." Jeffrey smiled as he walked to Bakugou's bike. "Hey my bike-" Jeffrey laughed "I had Miss Momo message your classmates, Mr. Tokoyami dropped it off after Mr. Deku gave him your spare key you had in the Self-defense office." Bakugou laughed "You really think of everything. Well I'm gonna head back before they both wake up for the day." Bakugou slid his helmet over his messy blonde hair and threw the straps of the backpack over his shoulders. "I expect you there shortly after me so she can have breakfast with you. I'm sure she'll be excited to see you." Jeffrey smiled and nodded "As you wish Sir Bakugou." Bakugou slide the face shield on his helmet down and started up his bike. I roar it made as it started rumbled the garage door. Jeffrey opened the door and as soon as it opened  enough for Bakugou to squeeze out, he disappeared into the chaos of the streets. "Please let that future be wrong....Be safe Sir Bakugou, she needs you." Jeffrey returned into the house and grabbed the breakfast items that he made and put them all in a lunch bag to take to the hospital. "Should I have said something? I can't intervene.. But y/n can't handle losing him, he means so much to her. I didn't have a clear enough view of the incident to see if he survived.. Maybe if I catch up I can keep an eye on him." Jeffrey finished packing up the food and zipped out the door and into the car. As he quickly drove through the city looking for any signs of Bakugou, Jeffrey pondered on whether he should of stopped Bakugou from taking his bike.. "If he wouldn't of taken the bike then there's no way it'd happen. I saw his bike there." Jeffrey finally reached the hospital but Bakugou's bike was nowhere in sight. As he rushed inside, he ran to the first desk he saw "Hi, has a spiky blonde hair guy come through here with a backpack, he would have been heading to the mother and baby wing?" The brunette shook her head no giving Jeffrey a very puzzled look. "Sir, is something wrong?" Jeffrey sighed in fear.. "No, I'm here to visit Y/N, she just had a baby." "Oh, up that elevator you'll have to be buzzed in." Jeffrey nodded and proceeded to the elevator. "Sir Bakugou.. Where are you?"  
After buzzing Jeffrey in, he joined the room where Tokoyami and Kirishima had already made themselves at home watching Tokashima so you could sleep a little longer. "Jeffrey!" Kirishima shouted "Eijori, quiet down before you wake them." Tokoyami grumbled in a low voice. Jeffrey smiled "Hey, Have you seen Sir Bakugou?" Both guys looked at each other and shook their heads. "No, the nurse said he left minutes before we showed up, so we just missed him." Kirishima explained. Jeffrey's face filled with worry. "What did you see?" Kirishima questioned. Jeffrey frowned "I shouldn't of let him take his bike, I seen it happen. I have to find him." Tokoyami stood up "What are you taking about?" Kirishima's face filled with fear and rage. "WHAT HAPPENED JEFFREY, WHAT DID YOU SEE?" Jeffrey looked up at Kirishima "His bike.. On his way here someone is going to blow through a red light... His bike was totaled.. The clothes were everywhere that were in the backpack he had on him. I couldn't see Bakugou though.. I just could see blood on the street and clothes." Tokoyami's face shifts. "You saw Bakugou's death and you didn't fucking stop him? Do you know what this would do to-" Jeffrey walked over to Tokashima "Don't worry. I will find your dad." Jeffrey places his hand on Tokashima's cheek and watches. "There's no Bakugou in any of his..." Jeffrey says quietly to himself. Then turns around and leave the room. Kirishima looks at Tokoyami "Kirishima, Stay here with y/n, I'm gonna head to the sky, I'll be easier to find him from and aerial view." Kirishima nodded as Tokoyami walks over and Kisses your forehead.. "I'll find him. I refuse to let your happiness slip away that easily." Tokoyami walks to the window and climbs onto the ledge "Dark shadow, I'm gonna need your help with this." Dark shadow nodded knowing the importance of this and wrapped his arms around Tokoyami and lifting him to the sky.
