#Shinomori

[asquinate]

Since apparently this guy is the easiest to draw for my brain, I present more Shinomori for @fractiflos' Middle May

Practice sketches and things Ive done with him in it under the cut

i also wanted to put some of my headcanons for him or stuff that just made sense to me

Hikage

birthday is in September, if I had to pick a day, I'd say the third.

Huge history buff, he strikes me as the type of guy that just knows so many strangely specific dates.

Also, you can kind of see it in the expressions practice but I HC his hair color was like light brown as a kid and just got lighter as he grew up. then he got OFA which rapid aged him and it didn't stop getting lighter until his hair was white. :/

Orphaned, I imagine his parents were killed in a protest which led to him joining Bruce and Kudou's resistance group.

because he used to work with Bruce I genuinely believe this man knows how to handle even the most bizarre of weaponry. like someone's confused on how to load a rocket launcher or throw a dagger and he's just ready to help. <-this for sure freaked out Banjo the first time he complained about not knowing how to use a gun and Hikage just pulled one out and did an impromptu lesson.

He knows, and is good at Widdling.

Cats v. Dogs argument comes up this man replies with squirrels or crows.

This may just be me projecting but, he's AroAce for sure. Man lives in the forest doesn't want to have to talk to anyone or have any romantic relationships? Be less relatable my guy.

bro has like a bunch of craft magazines that he just goes through. he has a dealer for this so he doesn't have to leave the forest.

He strikes me as an action movie fan

love languages would be words of affirmation, and gifts.

Making up my own One For All users headcanons because we still know little to nothing abt them

[shih-coulda-had-it]

One for All Band AU! Generation 1. Banjo's talking about fight night (code for "We are vigilantes disguising ourselves, but really effectively, as a rock band") which Toshinori enthusiastically wants to participate in. Torino and Bruce are gossiping.

*Izuku gaining the quirks of the past users of OFA*

In the Vestige Void:

Banjo: Hey! How come he gets all the cool shit?

Yoichi: I don’t fucking know? He was quirkless so-

Yagi’s vestige: *making hand movements indicating to himself*

Nana: Toshi was quirkless when I passed on OFA. How come he didn’t get our quirks like Ninth?

Hikage: Probably because he’s All For One’s son, just a thought.

Yoichi: WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. MY BROTHER DID NOT GET LAID AND HAVE A CHILD-

En: That you know of.

Yoichi:

En:

Yoichi:

Yoichi: Fuck you all. Third, put up the GODDAMN CONSPIRACY BOARD-

[ratt-rap-fish]

OFA and AFO you will be remaining legends

[pocketramblr]

fun as all the various other quirks-in-ofa manifest first are, i am now musing on a "the first power to manifest is the vestiges" au where Izuku, still functionally quirkless, is in the middle of the entrance exam when he uhhh summons seven and half ghosts who were not prior to this fully aware and/or paying attention.

cw: MHA Spoilers

Just a silly, unserious ranking of which previous OFA users AFO hates the most (top - most hated, bottom - least hated)

RUROUNI KENSHIN (2023) op 「hiten」 by ayase & r-shitei

[delawaredetroit]

Since we're talking names, I went to the fandom wiki to dig into Mirio's real name and hero name a bit more, and I'm even more convinced of my interpretation of his character and the depths to which he is meant to be a foil for Izuku.

Both of their hero names are calls to action created from puns of their given names. The first character of Izuku's name can be read as "de" which Bakugou used to call him Deku, worthless/a wooden doll, which Ochako reinterpreted as dekiru as in "you can do it!". Izuku writes his hero name in accordance with Ochako's interpretation, but it's still a homophone with how he was called by Bakugou. And that "you can do it!" is simultaneously Izuku's aspirations for himself, a callback to his origin, and a call to action for others.

Mirio's name is close to a homophone with the Japanese pronunciation of million, and his hero name is Lemillion. His goal is to save a million people. He lacks the ambition to save everyone or create a new framework for their society. Assuming Japan's population was around 126.8 million people during this chapter, Mirio's highest ambition was to save approximately one percent of the population. It's a grand goal for an average pro hero, but for a supposed fledging symbol that goal is nothing special.

There are conflicting indications in Mirio's name concerning One for All. Mirio's name does fit within the number pattern for One for All successors. His surname contains a kanji that can also be read as ten just like the "ku" in Izuku's name is a homophone for nine. But, his surname, Togata, can also be read as "conformity", which is the opposite of the role of a One for All successor.

All the One for All users went against the grain of their time. The first three went against the man who first brought society back together again after the Dawn of Quirks (because he was trying to rule over everything). Shinomori rejected the existing society entirely and lived in the woods. Banjo through Nana were swimming against the tide trying to keep society together and fight the ultimate villain during times of turmoil. All Might was an orphan who came from nothing who aspired to be a pillar for society to progress. Izuku had ambitions to include those excluded/disempowered by All Might's era of peace (not that Izuku thinks poorly of All Might but they have disagreements concerning questions like can everyone be saved or are their inherently evil quirks).

Mirio's rationality and achievable, grounded goals just don't mesh well with the ethos of One for All despite the surface level compatibility.

Tl;dr: Mirio isn't crazy enough to be a One for All successor
