I feel I'm always talking about this ship and Cinder and I thank you for that. I do have a question: does the media follow the cinder's gang?
I ask this bc I do want to give Izumi notoriety. Ofc she will WORK to gain it( I love her, but it would be disingenuous to the story making Izumi win by mere existing) but like the media does talk about the fearsome Usage (it's her moniker. A rare win for this fandom is the bunny jokes for Izu) and the same could be add to Cinder. He is a big name in the thievery world.
Or
Cinder works in the shadow and no one knows who he is?
Just wondering here bc I can work either way. Izumi gaining respect in the underworld and even getting the attention of big fishes like Nine.
It is still funny imagine Cinder being oblivious to how popular he is in the social medias. Villain fuckers are real and...he has never met them thanks to his good luck.
Izumi is watching the edits for...science.
You're welcome! Is always nice have more persons in this small fandom for the CiderIzu ship.
Can we call it SeltzerBunny too? Every ship good needs a corny name as well.
I assume the Cider House gang has sort of a reputation, considering their methods to operate and how they can wait for months before a big hit and not get captured in the process.
In my own AU nobody knows Cider is a member of the Himura family btw, but that's also probably because the clan erased a lot of his public registers and invented some story of "our son is overseas" or something like that.
Of course they're a famous gang in the otherworld however.
Ironically Nine is the underdog here, even his origin chapter put emphasis on how he "survived under the radar" considering how crazy his quirk is. I have my own ideas to flesh out this plot point, more info later.
I love the idea of Mizunami being totally clueless about his reputation in certain social media. He would probably think that's a bit cringe, but if it's Izu... he obviously doesn't mind.
He probably can get away because the mask covers a good part of his face, and that's a popular topic among his followers who fantasy about how he looks unmasked.
Only Izu (any version) got the privilege of see that handsome face in person.
Powerful and aesthetically pleasing couple.
Also Midoriya surely loves to put his hand around Giulio waist.
Our Deku is such a naughty boy.
He's having such a trip with each movie.
The resemblance was subtle as a brick to the head:
Lol, but also Nine got a lot of traits from AFO as well. He's like their perfect mix.
Yet I can't help but wish the story actually did something with all this parallels between Nine and the shigabros. There's a lot of stuff implied but nothing really explored.
Nine is such a great character and his existence could've added a lot of the story of AFO and Yoichi.
MHA fans shouldn't ignore how beautiful Nine is.
Have you seen how gorgeous this man looks?
He should be bring into conversations about the most pretty male character more often.
Especially when Horikoshi draws him.
I don't think this need more explanation, Nine is something else.
Demons carrying their human lovers
I know!
That's a double edge sword because while having such great looking characters makes the world of MHA more interesting, it also makes us wish more of them have more screen time despite it's quite impossible.
I need to think on a spinoff with Cider as the main character btw...
You can't imagine how much I love the Cider House leader guy...
A minor villain has no right to look so cool, badass and handsome like he does.
Also he probably got the best water quirk of the series.
Also he got so much sassy energy on top of having such insane drip.
Being one of his like 3 fans isn't easy, but still love him.
Oh dear... Horikoshi isn't a good writter but at least he didn't go so far to make that atrocious "Eri will rewind Shigaraki and the villains into kids" real, neither the equally awful "Shigaraki will unlock the Overhaul part of Decay".
Thank god it didn't happen, just for that I can forgive a lot of shit of the final arc.
Isn't ironic how the lov fans are also really selective in terms of who can be saved and not? The love to shit on the heroes for not save their precious babies, but is like only 3 villains exist for them.
Like why Chisaki wouldn't deserve to be saved as well? He had a shitty life and his crimes are far less worse than mass murdered like the LOV did.
But nah... no villains deserves to be saved aside of the league of lames.
You can imagine how happy makes me see them getting angry because Chisaki and Muscular the "pure evil" villains are alive while crusty bitch and his friends are rotting in hell.
The ship of Kurogiri and Compress is so random and for some reason is super popular despite they have no interactions whatsoever. Like I don't care about Kurogiri, but considering Shigarakumo is somewhere inside and has to deal with all that bs from Compress... eh I feel for the poor boy.
Have you ever think on how rewrite Compress?
Like I've always thought he must be one of the worse written characters in this series, and that's saying a lot when your writer is Horikoshi.
Outside of being handsome under that stupid outfit and his quirk, everything about Compress is kind of lame. Many other characters have similar concepts but much better execution.
I have some ideas to change his entire role, but nothing serious yet.
Hi @nyc3
Glad you ask bc...I never really gave much thought on Compress. Yes, he is handsome (everyone in MHA is handsome but Izu who Hori says is a gag character) but the man is ...meh, to me. Lov stans go nuts and call him the "dad of the group" and jokes aside....
He isn't even remotely close to be on this label. Kuro? I get it (even if Shig is uncaring for the Nomu. I get why, more or less, I mean I can imagine it's bc how Kuro was passive in the whole shit afo did...but shig still remain faithful to afo) but Mr. Compress is nothing.
Yes, he says one nice thing to Toga (another nutcase) but this is nothing. I do admit lov can work with each other and it's more than Izu gets...but that's the bare minimum.
So no. Mr. Compress is just a big nothing....but he is handsome.
At least he isn't a Spinner.
Dont be a Spinner.
I know! Nine in general would be an awesome villain for the main story, I'll die on that hill.
At the same time if AFO actually had eyes and was able to see Nine directly, he would have ended up in a vault Lmao. No way our dear demon lord let the perfect Yoichi clone to escape.
Horikoshi actually likes to imply a lot the idea of AFO projecting his obsession with Yoichi in different persons, like Shigaraki for example (even if in this case the parallel doesn't work quite well as with Nine). Or in a lesser degree with Dabi too.
We have panels like this as well:
And of course Nine and Shigaraki share their own set of visual parallels, which for a story standpoint makes sense as they're both in the same line of numerical experiments (another subplot totally wasted btw).
In general it feels like all this details and parallels were part of a bigger storyline that was cut short in the end, never reaching it's full potential (Shigaraki doesn't interact with Yoichi either for example).
So anyway we were robbed of having a big and interesting subplot with all the members of the Shigaraki family. Is a shame because it feels like AFO could have been a much more fully fleshed character.
MHA fans shouldn't ignore how beautiful Nine is.
Have you seen how gorgeous this man looks?
He should be bring into conversations about the most pretty male character more often.
Especially when Horikoshi draws him.
I don't think this need more explanation, Nine is something else.
Thanks spinji 🤍

This post was made before the full leaks, or well before the main leaker mentioned anything about Edgeshot anyway. I think he did but like half day later.
Considering Edgeshot go back to service even being a little thread with hands I personaly doubt even this experience is enough to stop him. He's not afraid of anything lol.
On that note It's reallt satisfying know that he and Bakugou became so close after their experience together.
I do wonder what's he doing overseas, as he must have spend a very good time in traveling if he dissapeared from the hero charts.
Good luck with your story.
The fact Shindo made top 20 in the hero charts 8 years later and not a lot of the Class A guys including Uraraka make me proud of my boy.
Shindo really deserved it, so good for him.
But the new top 20 makes me wonder if Edgeshot quit being a hero as he's nowhere to be seen.
Seems to extreme that he being 4th descended so far. I wonder if his health was really so compromised that he wasn't able to fully recover.
I will miss you my dear ninja hero.
It's funny cus what @thr0wnawayy mentions is sort of what happens in the fight of Cider House and Bakugou, as C.H shooting water beams at high preasure was giving BK a lot of problems and was Shoto who defeated Cider (even if there's problems with that too).
Realistically a lot of quirks should be a complete danger for everyone in the battlefield, explosions are just one example. But what about any fire quirk? Shoto almost killed Shindo once, but obviously outside that very specific case Horikoshi never make a big deal out of the dangers of using fire in the wrong situation even if that's even more dangerous than explosions if you ask me.
Or what about Mina shooting literal acid, how tf that's not dangerous in any situation? We seen that shit disolving everything in the blink of an eye, how she even uses it and not kill every villain? It's silly.
Quirks are dangerous only if Horikoshi decides to make them dangerous. Which is giant flaw in the logic to introduce the concept of "villanous quirks" that seems to be a big social issue.
What's even a "villanous quirk" then? Brainwash is super horrible but burn people with fire/acid isn't?
What bothers me the most about Izuku's character is that it seems like he can't feel anything, like because he can't be angry with what happens to him, you know why he can't have negative feelings towards Bakugou? This admiration he has for the bomb boy is not normal and healthy, it reminds me of Stockholm Syndrome. Bakugou stans say that Izuku is boring, but when talking about this thing about him not being angry with Bakugou, they keep saying that we don't understand Izuku's character. What's your opinion? Am I exaggerating?
I don't think you're exaggerating. In fact, I think it's deliberate on Horikoshi's part.
I began to realize Izuku's character was regressing the minute I first came across this scene:
This is the only scene I can justify hating Izuku's character because it was such an out of pocket line coming from him. And it kind of stuck in my head for weeks because it felt so OOC. Like, Izuku of all characters pushing for Todoroki to forgive Endeavor? It made no sense to me.
But do you see how it pans to Bakugou?
To me, this is Horikoshi indirectly attempting to absolve Bakugou. Izuku's line here is trying to communicate that that's how he feels about Bakugou.
Similarly to All Might saying Izuku doesn't hold what Bakugou did against him, this is another piece of plot manipulation from Horikoshi. Bakugou's redemption is pushed through the words of others, not through his actions. Especially when it comes to how he treated Izuku.
If Izuku, at any point, was still upset or noticeably traumatized by Bakugou's actions, Bakugou couldn't have been reasonably redeemed. Because there would be no feasible reason to even have him around Izuku and the only reason Bakugou's even relevant is due to Horikoshi sticking him onto Izuku in every arc
