#usj arc

Premise: It’s just after USJ and you’re going to see Shouta in hospital. Heaven help anyone who stands in your way.
Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Humor
Warnings: some swearing
Summary: It’s just after the USJ incident, and for some reason no one but Hizashi remembers to call you and tell you Shouta’s in the hospital. Anyone who tries to keep you from him is getting bitten.
Fuck fuck fuck. Where was Shouta? Your mind can only tumble between equally frantic thoughts while the receptionist takes her sweet time to give you his room number. It’s been agony waiting for them to finish their treatment plan, especially when they should have consulted you anyway. You’ll just have to make do with what’s left, you suppose, even if it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.
Once you get to his floor, however, a nurse sitting at the station stands and moves to stop you.
“Miss—”
“Let me through!”
You know the nurse is just doing her job, but right now you just want to strangle her. With how frazzled you feel, you just might. Then she just has to push it by touching your arm, and it takes everything in you not to bite her hand. You were a little feral, just like Shouta, but you never had your lover’s hero shtick to help redirect your impulses.
“Forgive me, but we cannot allow—”
“I said let me through. I’m his wife, godsdamnit!”
You don’t succeed in not snapping her head off, but she takes it well enough. Instead of getting offended, she nods and asks for a patient name.
“Aizawa Shouta.”
“Oh, I know that one. That teacher. I helped bandage him earlier. Follow me.”
You’re practically a nervous wreck as you follow her through the ward. The anticipation and anxiety make your heart beat like a scared rabbit, and all you can do is imagine the worst. It bothers you that no one but Hizashi called to let you know Shouta’s status, but then again, perhaps it had only slipped their minds in all the chaos. Perhaps that assumption was generous.
After all, they have to know you’re one of his immediate emergency contacts. They have to know they need to call you if he’s become badly injured because of your Quirk. You aren’t a Pro Hero, but there are other licenses, certificates, and permits that allow someone to use their Quirk. Anything from Certified Work Permits to Investigative Licenses to Limited Competency Certifications exist for those who wish to use applicable Quirks within certain scopes.
Your specific situation involves having a Restriction Level One Compassionate Healing License. It means that you can use your Quirk on others, even in public, regardless of if the situation is as mild as a sprained ankle or as critical as a skull fracture. Unlike Recovery Girl, your Quirk doesn’t use the patient’s stamina, so you don’t need them to be well-rested or a mild case, or to wait for them to recover somewhat first. Being a doctor or a Hero didn’t suit you, so this seems like the next best alternative. Especially since the government and HPSC recognize how difficult it often is to keep healers from assisting someone injured or dying in front of them and how disastrous it would be to punish said healers, especially if the public got wind of it. So they offer an alternative. Those with healing Quirks who don’t wish to become medical professionals or Pro Heroes full or part time can instead choose to obtain a Compassionate Healing License, ranging from Restriction Level Five to Zero. Level Five had the most restrictions, while Zero had none. It basically meant there were no restrictions on how you could use your Quirk to heal, both in consideration of its natural limitations, and in consideration of its legal ones.
By the time you arrive at his room, you’re ready to collapse from stress, but you have just enough presence of mind to thank the nurse as you lurch into the room. Of course, it’s worse than you thought. He’s bandaged from head to toe, doing a remarkable impression of a mummy. He looks almost like a broken doll lying there, and it breaks something inside of you to see him like that. You sink into the chair next to his bed, barely noticing Hizashi’s jacket that he wears when he wants to be lowkey off-duty.
“Oh, baby,” you whisper with tears in your eyes. “What did they do to you?”
You don’t expect your idiot (not really) husband to answer you then, sounding like he’s on death’s doorstep for a casual nap instead of his dire straights.
“It’s not as bad as it looks.”
“Oh, so it’s just a flesh wound?”
“It’s—”
“Shut up, you insufferable man. You almost died. Let me fuss over you.”
Your hands shake as you uselessly smooth the blankets on his bed. You want to touch him, to reassure yourself of his continued existence if nothing else, but you don’t want to risk hurting him. You haven’t used your Quirk on him yet to ease his pain or wounds. The way it works was that the more positive emotions you felt, the more you could heal. If you felt positive emotions about the patient, even better. Even neutral emotions worked for adequate healing in a pinch. If you needed to “fake it” to heal someone, you could focus on a positive memory or something with positive emotions attached to it to coax your Quirk into healing the way you wanted it to. It sort of reminded you of how people made a Patronus in that one Pre-Quirk book series. Shame the author was some hateful hag, but at least no one has to see her post Chirps. (Chirper replaced Twitter in the last stages of the Pre-Quirk Era, and she’s been dead for the last three hundred years, so no worries there.)
Shouta grumbles but allows your still-trembling hands to flutter over his form, hovering without touching.
“They said I’ll make a full recovery,” he tries again, attempting to soothe you. “You probably don’t even need to use your Quirk. We could just wait for Recovery Girl to—”
You interrupted with a put-upon little huff.
“Why would I let you suffer when I can fix some of it now?”
“Silly woman.”
“Infuriating man.”
Your fake glaring contest lasts for all of five seconds before he sighs and relents. “Fine. Get it over with, then. But you’re the one comforting Hizashi if this wears you out.”
“It won’t. I worked out that the more I love someone, the less energy it takes. Now hold still.”
You reach for his eyes first, because you know how much he needs them for his Quirk and in your Quirk sense, they’re an angry blood red. You don’t know how they look since they’re bandaged, too, but you gather it’s not pretty. Any damage to his eye socket or orbital floor would be hell for his career. Not because being Quirkless was such a terrible fate, but because without it, he’d be vulnerable. Even as an Underground Hero, people recognize him, and if they know he couldn’t use his Quirk properly—or at all—anymore, they’d take advantage of that. They’d see it as a weakness, and in a way it was if they knew he couldn’t rely on Quirk cancellation in his fights. He might fight mostly Quirkless, but Erasure still gave him an advantage.
Only a fool would insist otherwise.
He sighs in relief the moment your energy enters him, flowing into his eyes first, then into the rest of his head to ease the migraine he has. Whether it’s due to his injury, the medications used for surgery, a general lack of sleep, or some combination you have no idea. In hindsight, after you’ve chased away the majority of the pain and swelling, you readjust your assessment to include a concussion and skull fracture in the list of injuries. How lovely, a sarcastic part of your brain mutters as you berate yourself for losing sight of the forest for the trees in your rush to scrub away his pain. On the other hand, the concussion and skull fracture are irrelevant, gone like a flash of sunlight on a rainy day. Frankly, you don’t care. It all hurts him, so you get rid of it. Every single layer down to the last.
His lip, which had busted before he bit through it, also healed, as did his broken nose and a deep gash under his eye, though they might both scar. His scalp healed too. Someone had yanked on his hair hard enough to rip a chunk of it out, and you could almost feel the echo of it throbbing despite the pain easing. It made you furious to know someone had hurt him so badly. It made you ache, too, as if you’re the one laying in bed beaten to a pulp.
Next you heal his arms. One at a time, of course. You start with the one closest to you. A crease grows on your brow as you register the shade—still an angry red, but a shade lighter. His entire body glows like a red star, flickering in various hues of the color that spells danger for the one enduring the wounds. It’s not until your power flows into his arm that you discover the horrifying truth. Fuck the sprinkling of bruises and the little nicks. His arm is broken in five different places, which explains the glare of red bathing your second sight. You sigh from the depths of exasperation, because of course this absolutely insufferable man with no good sense of self-preservation manages to have his arm broken in five places.
“Why does it feel like you’re glaring at me?”
Of course your bastard sounds like he’s amused and apprehensive in equal measure, you think fondly even as you contemplate tying him up in his own capture scarf so he can’t get himself so damaged again.
“Probably because I am. How did you manage to get your arm broken in five different places, Shou?”
“He what?!”
Hizashi’s alarmed cry comes from the doorway. You turn to glare at him, because really? This is a hospital for fuck’s sake! People are trying to heal!
“Hizashi, you know I love you, but if the next sound out of your mouth is another screech, I’ll toss you out of the window myself.”
“And I’ll help,” Shouta added gruffly.
You flick your finger at his already healed cheek.
“No the fuck you won’t, mister! You shouldn’t even be moving yet, let alone throwing Hizashi’s loud ass through a window.”
“Sorry,” Hizashi apologized as he shuffled into the room and closed the door. “I’ll try to be quiet.”
“That’s like asking a cat not to be an asshole,” you mutter as you turn back around, ignoring the indignant “Hey!” from Hizashi as you set to work again.
Undeterred, the inappropriately energetic man sidles up to your side. Not close enough to get in the way, but definitely close enough to watch you work. It’s a delicate process. Even with all the love you have for Shouta, it takes fierce concentration. Mostly due to all the fine-tuned control you need for the seemingly endless fiddly bits. You sit back once you’re done with his arm and massage your temples. Only Shouta, you think again. Only Shouta.
“Your arm is healed, but your wrist and two of your fingers are broken too.”
There’s a sharp intake of breath at your side, and oh yeah, Hizashi’s here too, isn’t he? You’d nearly forgotten since you’d had to block him out to focus. Funny, that. At least Shouta’s arm isn’t hurting him now, though the fact that the other has also been set doesn’t feel particularly promising.
“In addition to the five breaks on his arm?”
“Yes, and some bruising and small cuts. I’ll fix the wrist and fingers then move to his other side. Once I do, it should be safe to touch his face and this limb. Do not touch anything else unless I say otherwise, got it? We don’t wanna hurt him more by aggravating his injuries.”
“Right. I can do that. I’ll hold his hand once you finish doing your thing.”
Without any further discussion, you dive right back into the healing session. Even though your Quirk isn’t directly tied to your stamina, like an inverse of Recovery Girl’s, you can still get tired. The mental and emotional exhaustion that can lead to a period of brain fog or numbness, like the kind that comes after a good cry—or even a short bought of depression in extreme cases—isn’t a cakewalk just because you can often otherwise function as normal. Still, Shouta’s worth the backlash, and you can always sleep it off. You heal his wrist and his fingers as promised, then pause and frown because while the halo of his arm has cooled to a healthier pink as it repairs itself, his ribs scream at you.
“Fuck.”
“What is it?”
“Ribs.”
It comes out as a grunt. You don’t care, just reach out to brush your fingers over them. Some are bruised, and some are cracked. Ribs can be bandaged, but not properly set. You probe around with your power to make sure they haven’t punctured anything, then cut off the flow of energy.
“How many?” Hizashi asks when you stand.
“Enough.”
His hand grips Shouta’s like a lifeline as you round the bed, pausing to correct the damage you see as you go. “Sprained ankles.”
“Shouta,” you hear the blond murmur as you heal a nasty bruise on his leg that feels suspiciously like the outline of a boot. Ouch. Definitely from a kick. The broken blood vessels sing in relief at your touch.
“He’ll live, Zashi.”
He’s got another three breaks on this arm that’s speckled with bruises, another broken finger, and huh. A broken clavicle. You list aloud the injuries as you caress each one, sending warm waves of healing energy through them. You heal the nasty scratch on his neck, too, and the random thigh muscle he somehow pulled. That seems like the worst of it, aside from the hodgepodge of bruised organs that includes his spleen, his liver, and both kidneys, and a bruised abdomen. Thankfully he has no internal bleeding, but he’d have been sore for a while otherwise.
By the time you finish, you feel a little numb, but only just. It seems to have messed with your emotions again in a limited capacity. The closest you can feel to happiness at the moment is bitter relief, though the love you have for him never fades even when you get these spells. They’re temporary, and part of this may be due to stress instead of just being induced by your Quirk backlash.
Mostly you feel tired, like you’ve been crying for a long time and can’t cry anymore but on a low level. It’s a largerly emotionally drained feeling mixed with the barest hint of brain fog. You don’t heal all the time, after all, not like Recovery Girl or some of the Quirked doctors. Even when you do, it’s not often to this extent. You don’t always have to push yourself so much, but now you feel as if you should. Quirk training might just save Shouta’s life one day.
You’d never forgive yourself if he needed you but you were too weak to heal him.
“Is it done, then?”
“It’s done. Give it an hour before you start taking off all his casts and bandaging, though.”
“Are you going somewhere?”
You shrug.
“I’m taking a nap.”
With that, you crawl into bed next to Shouta to sleep off your backlash. Hizashi doesn’t protest. Smart man, that one. Anyone who tries to pry you away from Shouta’s side right now still stands a high chance of getting bitten. Hizashi must like having both of his hands. Good.

Warning
*Anti Shigaraki
*Unfairness
*A lot of Shiggy hate
*Take this with a grain of salt style Rant
*Rambling, like someone complaining on the street
*Pettiness. No, really. These warnings are for the LoV stans who have been really nice to me, so I don’t want them to be bombarded with hate of their favorite character. At the same time, I need to brain dump for now. So if you like Shiggy, skip this.
Okay, okay. So I’m doing a re-read of the manga, and, as I mentioned in my last post, I’m on the USJ arc. And at first, I was thinking, “well wait a moment, I don’t hate Shiggy as much here? But I remembered I hated him in his first appearance. Why--” Then this happened--
--and I was like, “OH. That’s why.” No joke, the panel above is when I started to hate Shiggy.
Uh. No. No, it isn’t the same asshole. Wanna know why? You invaded a school with a literal army of thugs to MURDER a class of children with the intent of killing three other people.
Oh, and here’s something no one ever points out; A HERO HAS NEVER ONCE ATTACKED A VILLAIN WHO DIDN’T ESCALATE THE FIGHT THEMSELVES. Every time a hero used violence was because a villain was using their quirk to terrorize others. The only exception is Nagant, and even then she was more of a government agent than a hero. (I’ll get to her when I get to her.)
I love that All Might called bull shit on him. And yes, I know that later All Might states he was just trying to provoke him, but he didn’t. He provoked me, and I’m angry. And the first time I read this, I was just annoyed. Now I read it, and I’m mad. Why? Because this becomes the whole motto for the LoV where they play the victims while claiming heroes are no better when, no. They are better. They don’t try to murder innocent children. You did! Several times throughout the story! And yes, I know Shiggy was brainwashed to believe this stuff by AFO, but that doesn’t make it less annoying!
Worse, the manga seems to agree with this later in the series. It’s just—ugh!
Sorry. Sorry—I just needed to get this out. I really hate Shiggy, and a part of me wishes that Snipe took the headshot. These two moments here were what introduced me to Shiggy’s victim mentality, one of the traits I hate most in characters.
Didn’t help that he was a whiny brat who was just annoying, which in theory, I liked. I liked that Shiggy started off as a brat. He annoyed me, but he was a villain, so you know, different rules. Plus, I expected him to get better, and—well, now that I’ve blown off some steam, I can calmly approach the story with a fair and open mind again and see if he does improve.
#Sorry needed to blow off steam#and since this is a rant not a critical I didn't need to be fair#and I warned you#also shiggy didn't help himself by trying to kill several of my favorite characters#I swear I'll be 100% fair in my critical when I write them#but for now I'll need to do a brain dump rant like this to get through#anti shigaraki toumra#anti shigaraki#rant#vent#brain dump#take with a grain of salt#anti league of villains#anti lov#usj arc#bnha#mha#mha meta#bnha meta

Beep. Beep. Beep.
[With a soft almost-sigh, after an emergency procedure to fix the internal bleeding, at least two caloric shots, and somewhere between one and two hours of sleep, Akta's eyes finally begin to slide open, dull but slowly bringing the world into focus as she sleepily blinked, slowly being pulled back into consciousness. In the blackness, she could've sworn she had heard a voice... and now, she could swear she could hear another. Her throat hurt. Her gut hurt. She could still taste something metallic at the back of her mouth. She was dazed, quiet, trying to drown out that loud beeping sound in the weird, undulating texture that noise had when it was underwater- that it had in her ears right now. But she was still breathing. But how else could she sound like she's underwater?]
[The armor didn't seem to come off, as though it was... part of her. It didn't interfere with saving her, however, so it and her wings weren't a concern. What WAS a concern was the fever that was persisting, despite having no illness to cause it.]

[With Shigaraki gone, Akta staggers to the nearest student, still coughing blood. The weapons she created all disappear into light and seemingly nothingness as her legs give out and she collapses. With a wheeze, she mumbles out something in what sounds like... Italian.]
[While no one is watching, before Akta's eyes as they flutter back open slightly as she struggles to stay awake, there's a flash of gold.]
... Ash... ley...?
[Her eyes flutter shut, whoever she landed on able to feel just how hot she was as steam continued to rise from her body, the bags under her eyes the deepest they've ever seen, blood still dribbling from their mouth as their body choked for one more breath.]
- @sleepytimesongs
[The EMTs immediately start administering emergency healthcare, loading her into the ambulance.]

Chapter 16's title is Know Your Enemies, and on the surface it's an introduction to the Noumu. But in retrospect it's really introducing Shigaraki as the foil and antagonist for Izuku
#bnha reread#bnha chapter 16#bnha#midoriya izuku#shigaraki tomura#eh usj is more interesting on a second read through bc you see everything that's being set up#but it's a little meh on its own as an arc

Tenko's scratching noise
One thing I decided to do while retranslating chapters is trying to understand what sounds mean what in original, not in translation
So yeah I didn't see anyone commenting on it and I don't have enough knowledge on it
But at the start of chapter 235 sound of his scratching is a little bit different both at introduction panel and when he was talking to Nao
but that's about it after that or before that, in later chronological flashbacks and earlier in manga sound of scratching was a little bit different
and I have no idea why old one returns at the time when Tenko's quirk activated for the first time
this to be exact
Maybe Decay really does connect to any of strong emotions Tenko has either good or bad, it's just that AFO is bad oriented person
it never really comes back again
But from what I understood first one is a little bit different and probably a little bit softer that second one
And that actually reflects on how Tenko did start scratching a little bit harder at some point and just stayed that way
It's kinda sad that it doesn't translate into English with at least some difference they are just identical
and yes in both Manga Plus and final version
tho final version tries harder to replace sounds
so yeah they're different
#tenko shimura#shigaraki tomura#character analysis#bnha#tenko shimura: origins#and yes those are the same scratch sounds Tomura had in earlier arcs#USJ and Hosu at least

Oh god, I literally forgot he lost his wings 💀💀💀 and I remembered when I peaced out, it was an interaction with Shoto that went along the lines 'you're a better person than me for forgiving your abusive parent(s?)'
I already was just sick of Endeavor's whole existence, and that was it for me, I lost all hope for Hawks's character since then
Yeah I can understand that frustration, especially since the previous scene with Hawks was him stating that he "needed to save Endeavor" 🙄
Personally I didn't interpret the scene between him and Shouto as him praising Shouto for forgiving his parents but as him praising Shouto for confronting his past/abuse head on. Hawks laments the fact that he hasn't done the same.
Personally, I don't think that turning your back on your abusive parents is wrong but in the context of Hawks' character, who had to give up his personhood, confronting his past/parents will be necessary for him to get closure I think.
(How much do you wanna bet that, if Hawks survives this arc, the final shot we see of him will be a direct parallel to the moment Shouto reunited with his mother in chapter 44)
Honestly I can't blame people for having a negative interpretation of this scene since Hori has shown a serious lack of nuance when it comes to characters reaction to Endeavor's abuse. We don't see anyone on the pro-hero side hesitate at all when it comes to supporting Endeavor. The closest we get is the press conference scene but that scene is such a joke because Hori has such an obvious bias against the press :/
#asks#bnha#hawks#shouto todoroki#the way the press is presented in bnha is really striking to me and it makes me wonder if it's another one of hori's attempts at social-#-commentary?#does japan have a similar issue with the press like the US? 🤔#like during the kamino arc the press was framed negatively but imo most of the questions the journalists were asking were fair#students were harmed and even kidnapped ofc there would cause for concern over UA's competence esp in the wake of the USJ attack#the framing of that scene always struck me as odd

Okay, to prove to my followers that I can be fair even to characters I despise, I’m going to give an unbiased assessment of Shigaraki’s first appearance. (Or as unfair as I can. I am human after all.)
No warnings for once. Spoilers are over six months old and tumblr is a spoiler site. If you read the manga, you know this stuff and if you haven’t you wouldn’t be reading this.
Okay, so Shiggy’s first appearance wasn’t bad.
(There’s that beautiful mug everyone loves. Ref; Chapter 13, page 15)
His design is fairly creepy, and he quickly established himself as a villain; not only did he come to kill a bunch of children and their teachers,--
(Is it just me or is his neck long here? Ref; Chapter 13, page 18)
--but Shiggy also brought a bunch of mooks, which he admits were basically cannon fodder, and ditches them as soon as possible. I believe this introduces a flaw in his villain arc. Namely that he has to learn not to see people as expendable, otherwise no one will be loyal to him.
Speaking of setup, the manga did a decent job in showing that Shiggy’s Izuku’s opposite. While Izuku was active and worked for everything he got, Shiggy wasn’t. He was lazy and let others do his work for him (again, this sets up a flaw he has to overcome to become a villain as he needs to walk the talk). Izuku earned OFA, but the Nomu—and later AFO’s quirk—was given to Shiggy.
That being said, the two do have two things in common; they’re observant and intelligent.
Shiggy proved this as he was the only one to pick up when Aizawa wasn’t using erasure--
( Ref; Chapter 16, page 13)
--and he noticed where the kids were hiding.
(Ref; Chapter 17, page 11)
As stated later, he is a man-child, and he acts like it. He’s a character that would usually be a first/one-shot boss but that’s the point. He is supposed to be a brat that grows to be a fiendish villain in his own right. (Or rather a “poor soul that needs saving,” but I digress. We’ll get there when we get there.)
The funny thing is that Kurogiri acts more like the boss villain. He’s the one who addresses the heroes and actually does stuff. He’s a literal looming threat to the heroes and their students.
(No, really. He’s a literal looming threat. It even says so. Ref; Chapter 14, page 9)
But again, I’m sure that’s intentional. (Plus, the second in commands are usually shown to be more competent than the boss.)
So to recap; I wasn’t impressed personally as everything that didn’t annoy me was meh. Shiggy was first boss material, but that’s the point; He was supposed to give off that energy. However, I was more impressed with the Nomu and Kurogiri. (Both of which I need time to gather my thoughts on.)
In the beginning, Shiggy is a whiny brat who just wants to laze back and let others do the work. He’s not so much a threat, but his allies are. He’s introduced as a leader yet we see that he’s not very good at it. And when he loses he throws a tantrum. Also, we see peeks that there is a traumatic past connected to him through the hands, and beneath his whining is a brain. We also get to see the first instance of his victim mentality, which we later learn was planted there by All For One.
Despite my hate for Shiggy, story-wise, this was a decent setup for Shigaraki’s character and what the manga wanted. They wanted Shiggy to start off as a lazy man-child, and they showed that. That was the start of his arc.
How does he grow from here? We’ll see.
( Ref; Chapter 22, page 4)
#shigaraki tomura#ugh#I hate that I wrote his tag with out anti#but this post is supposed to be unbias#so here we are#:p#Personally I find the parts that didn't annoy me dull#but I guessed he worked for others#there was potential for fun with him#but for some reason he wasn't?#i dunno#USJ Arc#bnha meta#Shiggy's first appearance#as unbiased as I can be#bnha#mha#character analysis#images
