#villain aoyama

[cocopop-04]

i'm planning on writing a series with each of the class 1a kids as villains and I'd love some opinions on some stuff!

Trying to make every character reflect some sort of flaw in the mha society and giving them a goal that sounds pretty heroic

(similar to in canon - Stain wants to remove corruption from the hero industry, spinner wants to get rid of mutant discrimination, toga wants society to accept those different from them etc.)

Soo here's a few of their goals:

Aoyama - (he's kinda like Shigaraki here) to show that all the world is a stage, and every action you do will be judged upon. To tear order away from society so that they can build a better one from its remains

Asui - to rid the world of the corruption from the HPSC (she's one of their trained heroes like Hawks and Lady Nagant)

Uraraka - wants to be the person to save the villains

Ojirou - to remove the inherent violence from society?

Kirishima - proving that a quirk does not decide your fate?

Kouda - to make sure that everyone's pain is seen and heard

Jirou - to create a society where you are not punished for knowledge

Tokoyami - to prove that no one is exempt from the consequences of their actions

Hagakure - to help those that are invisible/ignored by society?

Bakugou - to prove he's number one? (something along those lines but its still gotta sound like a heroic thing)

Mineta - to show the world that he is not someone they can just push away and ignore

Class 1-A - Villains

[aoyamacademia]

I think this world more Aoyama and LOV friendship bonding fics.

Yes!! It does! Honestly, aside from Yuga’s guilt about being a villain, he’d probably get along with the LOV (minus AFO).

Yuga and Tenko are similar in that the adults in their life failed them, and they had no one to turn to for comfort. (I mean, Yuga has his parents, but they got him involved with AFO in the first place and reinforced his belief that he had to “be like everyone else.”)

Yuga and Himiko both with to be more like the people they love/admire. Yuga saw himself in Izuku, but despaired over the fact that he wasn’t as “heroic” as he was. I believe he wanted to be more like him, the same way Toga wanted to be the people she loves.

Yuga and Mr. Compress are both eccentric individuals. I think their personalities would blend well. The same with Magne (especially since I headcanon Yuga to be queer himself, too).

Yuga and Spinner can bond over the discrimination they faced for being “different.”

Twice can entertain Yuga a lot, too. He can make several clones of Yuga in case he ever wanted to test out different outfits or something, lol.

Dabi can probably help Yuga learn that his relationship with his parents isn’t really that healthy, even if they do genuinely love him. I feel that Yuga is the sort of person to refuse to blame his parents for anything. In canon, he blamed himself more than anyone else. I think Dabi can help him realize otherwise.

Kurogiri can be sort of a “dad” figure to Yuga as he is to the entire league.

Yuga would definitely have an interesting dynamic with each of the LOV members! I also find it kinda adorable that he’d be the youngest out of everyone (aside from Mustard, but he was arrested for most of the series).

Time to Study!

More of the blonde trio. Part of my Aoyama/Monoma traitor AU. Yes Aoyama is wearing a scrunchie and I’m mad no one appreciates his short long hair and hate how no one utilizes that detail lmao. I had the thought to draw this randomly and this is how I think they would react and and feel towards the actual “Student” part of the mission, in which they painfully have to actually put in an effort to pass their classes. Not Toga thoe, she’s out here balling, but not without consequence since Kurogiri has to teach her.💀

Aoyama def hates Iida’s teachers pet behavior and it sets his once happy day into an all nighter bc he prefers to procrastinate. Monoma also hates 2-A so bad bc they are all a lot more social than Aoyama’s class. He def has a ranking of most annoying in the class in his mind, he also tunes out during the lessons bc he’s an academic weapon and actually absorbs information pretty easily. Aoyama failing his classes was not planned and he actually gets scolded for it but it gives him an excuse to be in a study group and further observe and spy on his classmates. Toga on the other hand hates learning, specifically bc Kurogiri is the one teaching her and he ‘makes things too hard’. Lmao. She gets punished for not competing her work and rewarded when she does, so she basically gets what she gives🗿💀.

[deadmans-corpse]

i NEED more villain/traitor Aoyama fics and stuff, like i want him to be best buds with Toga !! like he can get all types of info on Midoriya and Uraraka. tell me they wouldn't have the best gossip ever !! he'll also think Mr. Compress is so cool, i feel like Aoyama would love magic tricks and whatnot (he probably tried to teach himself magic tricks when he was little and failed horribly and got upset) but now Compress can help him out and stuff !! Dabi and Shigaraki on the other hand are just like " please get this loser out of here !! " but would later become a lot more fond of him when he becomes more villain. yes Kurogiri is like a father figure to him (im a simple man).

i just rlly want to sad gay boy to be evil but like happy too, yk ??

[epickiya722]

I'm sorry, but through this episode any time Katsuki didn't talk and his collar covered his mouth during those times, I thought back to the Sports Festival.

Even crazier, this episode another "loud, blond" kid who has some connection with Izuku gets muzzled.

Hey 👋 been a while, hope you're doing well?

Regarding the recent bnha chapter, and the ones before it, does it feel like the way things are going that everyone is kind of missing the "point"?

Because yeah, it's great for Deku to finally be seen as a "rising" hero that also inspires everyone, with them all fighting together and the civilians cheering them on.

But is all of that really so different from when All-might fought AFO at kamino? With the heroes helping All-might win and everyone else cheering him on?

It feels like everything has gone in one giant circle up to this point...

It doesn't seem like anyone (except for ochako, shoto and maybe Deku depending on what he does with shigaraki now) has really changed or learned anything.

(Aizawa is in a weird place because kurogiri is doing all work for him by glitching out and helping the heroes now, so aizawa can see that shirakumo is still in there, so he just acknowledges that.)

Because It's true that the civilians did try to "help" the heroes in a recent chapter but looking past the symbolism, all they actually did was give Deku a shirt and the other heroes some bandages or something, it wasn't very moving in my opinion.

And the hero side may take a more nuanced kind of view, with how they deal with aoyama and lesser villains like gentle and la brava, but that doesn't really help anything either.

Because aoyama was practically a hostage and gentle/la brava were the least "villainous" villains ever.

Can I ask what you think about all this?

Hey good to see you too, and yeah I 100% get what you mean. I don't want to act like I didn't like the chapter for the spectacle, but it is lacking something; and I think it's the sense of progress and improvement you're talking about. Because the chapter feels like it wants to have that, but i just don't feel it does.

And so, though I find the chapter rather fun & inoffensive on the whole, I'm still gonna throw some of what I will politely call constructive criticism at it and the last few before it for a bit if you're giving me the chance to.

These past few chapters have just been tossing all else to the side to get all gung ho about Deku and his hero allies becoming the greatest heroes, the heroes they were always meant to be (the kind of black & white story you'd expect AFO to usher in)...and I'm just not feeling it. I mean the team-up montage trivializing all of AFO's moves was cool but I got all style, no substance from it. Just typical hero stuff, comparable as you said to All Might with the other pros at Kamino.

It's like, I've been feeling this real want from both the readers and these latest chapters to say that Deku is surpassing All Might, and this is the moment where it's happening. 422 even talks about Deku's having a 'weakness' All Might lacked let him get up again and inspire others to get up again. But I've said before; Deku hasn't done anything All Might wouldn't in the same circumstance, and I think people who believe otherwise tend to assume AM was a lot less kind & a lot more independent, and Deku a lot less independent, than they are. Plus, All Might was the king of inspiring other heroes and he had to be literally paralyzed to stop fighting so what's that even about?

(Thinking about it; the problem might be that the manga wants to say Deku is more inspiring than AM; but the group we see him inspire to action most by far is fellow heroes, the same group All Might too most inspired to action.)

So yeah, it feels on the whole like we've just come full circle with our wheels spinning where I was hoping we'd move forward by now. And maybe there are a few exceptions where you could see some change, but even for them I question how much.

For one thing: I’m honestly not sure how much of Deku and Shoto’s more nuanced behaviour to their villain foils is from them being better heroes and what’s from Touya and Tenko being exceptions to them. Like, how will Shoto treat the next Dabi he meets if they aren’t his sibling? How will Deku treat a Tomura Shigaraki type that he can’t psychically see the inner child of? Ochako's the only one going against the grain just for the sake of a villain, and even then, it's not like we can expect repeat results. Fun as it sounds, she probably can't date every abused girl she meets and send off to jail.

Not to mention these past few chapters haven't even had any talk of villain saving anyway; no one has come here to save Tomura. I mean, Deku might (though sadly even his intentions must now be qualified with a 'might') but everyone else is here to save their fellow hero and beat the big bad; same as ever.

The civs haven't done anything too noteworthy or out of expectations we would've had for them in the early arcs either: just provide small help ranging from medical aid to one guy's shirt, and then sit back like a cheer squad for the next symbol/pillar while the heroes rush forward to do all the work, inspired by that same symbol/pillar. Maybe that's more than they would've done without the events of ch. 323~325...but that thought is mostly just depressing.

Even the cases of Gentle, La Brava, and Nagant don’t seem like these signs of progress to me; because I’ve said it before, but police asking criminals to catch worse criminals is normal. This has been standard procedure throughout. And Aoyama shouldn't even count and I'm almost angry that the story thinks he does.

Something that kind of caps off all this is how All Might talks about how Deku is his greatest hero; that line Deku was always eventually meant to embody (and apparently always did to AM). And cool as that is to confirm he's met all of All Might's expectations, it also feels like it's saying he's ended his arc; at this point where, if you ask me, he's only gone so far as to match All Might at best in every department besides raw power. Which is fantastic as far as Deku's personal goals go, that's all he's ever wanted; but when it feels like the world of HeroAca needed a guy who could exceed All Might, would could lead the charge for a generation of heroes to exceed their predecessors, it’s a shame that’s a level they’re all content just to meet. And that small shame sours something that should be really cool.

The Unfortunate Case of AFO's Infiltrators

Anyone remember these guys?

....Yeah, didn't think so XD But, they do count as like a subgroup of Villains, kinda, in MHA, for AFO's army, so I kinda have to talk about them...kinda. Sorta. As much I can really 'talk' about this bunch and what tiny scraps of info the story wishes to speak of about them.

Basically these five (yes, there are five of them, one just way off in the background and Hori even misses him in some panels that you kinda have to wonder what's the point) are All For One's spies....

And are treated with even less grace then even the Jailbreakers deal...

As a group, the saboteurs existence is meant to fulfill two roles in MHA's story:

They are an extension of the Traitor plotline, existing solely as a sort of substitute for Aoyama and his family with the trio on the side of the Heroes.

They're meant to act as a bit of conflict that can meaningfully bring the Todoroki Family together, at the cost of the minor importance in the story.

The Saboteurs live and 'die' by this these two plot points, and as such suffer in the ways of character as a result. They aren't here as genuine introspection of MHA's themes or exist to be explored. Just tools meant to enhance the final saga for the Villains side, but, like with a good chunk of the new minion villains introduced, come across as flat since they lack the depth or the foundation that prior Villains had.

Which is a serious shame since, conceptually, the idea they have is pretty good. In fact, conceptually, the idea of a group of spies under AFO has always been an intriguing one. In addition, I've always LOVED the idea of AFO leaning more into the 'business' side of being a Demon Lord. Of using his own Quirk to be a metaphorical Devil into getting people ensnared by him. It's that aspect I liked about Aoyama's reveal (as...speedran as it was XD), how he worked with Nagant and there's a lot you can do with it concerning the spies.

Were they also bound by AFO due to dealing for a Quirk? Was it maybe he loaned out money to one of them, and they needed to work for him to repay it? Perhaps they needed him for help getting away with a crime and are in too deep? So many possible ways to explore with these five...

And not a single one used. It's just a veiled implication that they have to work with him due 'reasons' and that's it.

It doesn't help that, for the most part, the Spies plot contributions are...kinda sabotaged from the start?

Like this for this instance. In their debut, AFO orders them to pretty much cause chaos by rousing people's fears and anxiety over Shigaraki being fully complete. Given how hostile a lot of people were over Deku returning to UA, it makes sense if there were other people that was still upset over his staying there. A perfect set to radicalize or push into rioting for self-preservation!!!!

...

Of course, in their same chapter - that idea is thrown out the window as Class A leaves....effectively making the above utterly pointless.

Okay, so their debut didn't go over well...but what about the final battle? They were tasked by AFO to listen to Skeptic...buuuuuttttt...well, that aspect of the War is never really seen aside from one panel that has both Tajima and Mihaera do nothing.

And when they are focused on, it's solely because they are needed as an excuse to get Rei, Natsuo and Fuyumi to the Gunga fight. Their defeat is literally one panel before they are never seen again!!!

As a group, even among the Advisors and Jailbreakers, it's so painfully obvious they were a last minute deal - because AFO having no other spies left in UA was ridiculous and just sort of waste with Aoyama gone/something needed to happen to warrant the other Todoroki's getting to Gunga - that not even Hori really cared for beyond their usage. Even the aforementioned groups above at least had one or several members that are at least humanized in some way or fashion, like Disgustus or Nagant to make them feel 'more' in some ways.

But the saboteurs? The only one given some measure of 'real' focus is Tajima. Mihaera is named too, but she's pretty much just 'Tajima's partner' (who knows how to use bombs, wtf why wasn't this focused on more!!!) and someone he can talk to. The other three are fucking nameless, with the 'alien' one being nonexistent half of the time. So no hope on their front XD

Even then, Tajima doesn't have too much going from being a desperate, dirty coward-type of double agent. Framed as being willing to get everyone but his group in UA killed if it meant he could be spared. Which, in hindsight, is strange given how sympathetic Aoyama was in how it was clear he was being used and how much the Class vouched for him in spite of it. It's a weird double standard in stories that have the minor cast not get anywhere near as much care or sympathy as major villains that I always disliked.

How should they have been used?

...I mean, Aoyama IS right there. Instead of having Aoyama be in the parking lot fight, why not have him return to UA to help sniff out detain the other Traitors within (much better sense than having him out in the open with the stragglers of the group he betrayed, right?)

Tajima can be his opponent, and perhaps be his foil. Someone who got the Quirk transfer treatment just like Aoyama, but couldn't dare to disobey AFO, unlike the Hero trainee. Something that eats away at Tajima and the desperate spies since they don't want to obey AFO either, but their fears presses them onward. Can also see another fight going on with Hagakure taking on Mihaera, whose trying to set off her bombs, and just barely managing to box her down to stop her. Perhaps, Mihaera can be the anti-Hagakure. Who opted instead to join Tajima upon finding out his AFO allegiance, in some attempt to protect him - while Toru opted to inform people about such affairs instead. One path lead both down a dark entrapment, the other path lead to both souls and more being saved.

As for the other three, in the background, they can be fighting Gunhead, Kendo and Tetsu even things out.

Of course, once they are all subdued, Aoyama and co makes it clear that they WILL beat AFO. They won't have to keep working for him anymore, and that the spies' lives won't be in danger. They'll have to pay, just like Aoyama, for their wrongdoing sure...but they will be free, too.

There, easy. The Traitor plotline is enhanced in a more natural way with Aoyama confronting those in his boat, and you can still have their actions in the main story hold weight as they still happen. It's just now we care about the spies as victims of bad deals by AFO instead of them just being fodder that's disposed of without much care.

(Of course, you need to decide how to use Kunieda now, but that's another issue for another time~)

Overall, this a bunch suffering from being a good concept, in a story that's rushing too much to give it care.
