What are your thoughts on how Vigilantes portrayed Loud Cloud’s death?

What are your thoughts on how Vigilantes portrayed Loud Cloud’s death?

Honestly, this might be one of the most haunting deaths in the entire MHA universe for me. Because compared to others… it’s just so mundane. That’s what makes the tragedy of it all hit much harder.

Additional U.A. Faculty (so it more closely resembles a real school)

Biology Teacher

Name: Shibata Saisei (柴田 再生)

Hero Name: Cell Sage

Subject: Biology & Human Physiology

Quirk: Biopsy

Cell Sage’s Quirk allows him to create a harmless holographic cross-section of any living organism he touches. Rather than healing injuries, he visualises anatomy in extraordinary detail, allowing students to watch muscles contract, blood circulate, nerves transmit impulses, lungs expand, skeletons move, and - even in Quirk users - the specialised biological structures responsible for their abilities.

His philosophy is simple: “Heroes break bodies. Heroes should also understand bodies.” As a result, his classes are some of the most engaging at U.A., particularly for academically inclined students like Midoriya, Yaoyorozu and Iida, who quickly come to regard him as one of their favourite teachers.

Civics & Hero Law Teacher

Name: Kuroda Seigi (黒田 正義)

Hero Name: Precedent

Subject: Hero Law & Civics

Quirk: Evidence

By touching an object, Precedent experiences a brief impression of its legal significance. Rather than seeing memories, he instinctively understands details such as chain of custody, evidence handling, crime scene reconstruction and the object’s relevance within an investigation.

A former detective who spent decades working alongside Pro Heroes before becoming an educator, he constantly reminds students:

“Winning the fight means nothing if your arrest falls apart in court.”

Instead of traditional written exams, his classes culminate in mock trials where students must justify their actions within the framework of hero law.

Japanese Language Teacher

Name: Fujimoto Kotoba (藤本 言葉)

Hero Name: Echo Script

Subject: Japanese Language

Quirk: Calligraphy

Anything Echo Script writes becomes visually emphasised. Important vocabulary enlarges itself, written warnings glow across entire classrooms, and official documents naturally draw the reader’s attention to critical information.

Her lessons focus on practical communication skills essential to professional heroes, including formal speech, emergency announcements, incident reports, interviews and official writing.

Many students initially assume Japanese will be one of U.A.‘s easier subjects. That perception changes immediately when they’re tasked with writing evacuation orders where a single misplaced word can result in fictional civilian casualties.

Geography Teacher

Name: Moriyama Chizu (森山 地図)

Hero Name: Atlas

Subject: Geography

Quirk: Cartograph

Atlas can generate a perfectly accurate three-dimensional terrain model of any location she has personally visited. These models continuously display roads, elevation, rivers, buildings and infrastructure exactly as they existed when she was there.

Her curriculum extends well beyond traditional geography, covering disaster planning, climate, urban development, evacuation logistics and international geography. Field trips are especially memorable, as students can return to the classroom and examine detailed recreations of locations they visited only a day ago.

Economics & Business Teacher

Name: Kaneko Shūji (金子 修司)

Hero Name: Ledger

Subject: Economics & Business

Quirk: Balance Sheet

Upon entering a business, Ledger can instantly analyse its financial health, understanding its profitability, debt, cash flow, staffing efficiency and operational waste almost immediately.

Initially, many students question why aspiring heroes should study economics. Those doubts disappear once he begins explaining agency bankruptcies, sponsorship controversies, insurance claims and the financial realities of maintaining a hero agency. His signature assignment requires students to design comprehensive business plans for the agencies they hope to establish after graduation.

Computer Science Teacher

Name: Tachibana Ren (橘 蓮)

Hero Name: Firewall

Subject: Computer Science

Quirk: Interface

Interface allows Firewall to communicate directly with electronic systems simply by touching them. Rather than functioning as a supernatural hacker, his Quirk enables him to diagnose software, identify security vulnerabilities, visualise network architecture and trace malware with remarkable speed.

One of the youngest teachers on U.A.’s staff, he teaches cybersecurity, artificial intelligence ethics, databases, drones, digital forensics and cybervillain tactics. Students affectionately nickname him “the teacher who actually understands technology.”

Media Relations Teacher

Name: Hoshino Akari (星野 明里)

Hero Name: Headline

Subject: Media Relations

Quirk: Presence

Presence naturally directs everyone’s attention toward a person of Headline’s choosing, making it exceptionally effective during interviews, press conferences and crowd management situations.

Her classes cover crisis communication, interviews, public image, body language, speech delivery and responsible social media use.

Practical examinations frequently involve increasingly hostile mock press conferences designed to test students under pressure. Bakugo, unsurprisingly, struggles spectacularly with many of them.

Ethics Teacher

Name: Takamine Satoru (高峰 悟)

Hero Name: Compass

Subject: Ethics

Quirk: Perspective

Anyone who meets Compass’s gaze temporarily experiences a situation from another person’s point of view. They don’t receive memories, only perspective.

Students may briefly experience what it feels like to be a civilian trapped beneath rubble, a terrified child awaiting rescue, an exhausted hero nearing collapse, or even a panicked villain.

Compass never tells students what the “correct” answer is. Instead, every discussion begins and ends with a single question:

“Why?”

His classroom is arguably the quietest in U.A., relying almost entirely on discussion rather than lectures. Every semester concludes with an impossible ethical scenario. There is no objectively correct solution—only the answer each student can thoughtfully defend.

Head of the Business Course

Name: Shimizu Kaede (清水 楓)

Hero Name: Publicity

Quirk: Network (Emitter)

Network allows Publicity to create invisible connections between herself and the people she is interacting with. While those connections exist, she instinctively understands how information is flowing throughout the group. She immediately notices when someone is withholding information, who has or hasn’t been informed during a crisis, where communication has broken down, and can effortlessly coordinate dozens of people simultaneously. It is, in many ways, the ultimate crisis-management Quirk.

Before joining U.A., Shimizu spent over twenty years managing one of Japan’s largest hero agencies rather than working as a frontline Pro Hero. During that time she negotiated television appearances, sponsorship contracts, recruitment, agency finances and countless public relations crises. Her experience taught her that heroes don’t protect society through combat alone - they must also preserve the public’s trust.

That philosophy defines both her teaching and the Business Course itself. She regularly reminds her students:

“A hero can save one person.”

“A well-run agency can save thousands.”

Rather than focusing on combat, her practical lessons immerse students in the realities of running a hero agency. Press conference simulations force them to address hostile media after fictional crises, budget exercises require them to balance salaries, equipment, insurance and disaster reserves, while sponsorship negotiations challenge them to maintain financial stability without compromising public trust or professional integrity.

What do you think is a case where a student’s Quirk makes them appear far more knowledgeable than normal?

For me, assuming chemistry is part of U.A.’s curriculum, I think this might be the only class where Mina Ashido is nearly consistently around the top half of the class, since her Quirk pretty much requires her to know chemistry in order to use it properly. Side note, I feel like a hypothetical Quirk Awakening for Mina would Chemical Spectrum, where her acid evolves into a library of specialised chemical secretions with different properties, rather than just the acid we’re familiar with.

So… I headcanon Mina as a chemistry expert, in summary.

Investigation into the League of Villains leads to an unexpected discovery about Garaki’s connection to an unexpected someone

The premise behind the idea is simple - when U.A. and the Pro Heroes discover a connection between Doctor Garaki/Tsubasa and the League of Villains, they begin investigating. But this leads to them learning that Garaki took a contract with the HPSC to help experiment on an organism that exhibited unusually high degrees of human-like intelligence, despite not being human himself. Though the creature eventually escaped captivity and Garaki vanished, he never faced any repercussions for this crime despite his victim having become a prominent member of U.A.’s staff.

The victim’s name? Nezu.

Or: Garaki is revealed to have been one of the scientists who experimented on Nezu prior to him becoming the principal at U.A.

Questions about Nezu

  1. Why do you think Nezu (as far as we know, anyway) never attempted to pursue legal action or press charges against the humans who abused and experimented on him? I feel like the answer is mundane but nonetheless horrifying - as an animal, Nezu simply doesn’t have legal rights.

  2. Before he became U.A.’s principal, what do you imagine he taught at the school originally, since he would have been a teacher beforehand? Given his talents, he probably taught a class related to strategic management of crises or something similar, maybe even Heroics like All Might.

  3. How long do you think Nezu has been U.A.’s principal? Ignoring lifespan complications based on whatever species he actually is, I personally got the impression that Nezu’s been around long enough to have been principal at least twenty years.

What if All Might had named Melissa Shield his successor?

To be clear, I cannot see any scenario where Toshinori would do this, because Melissa is his honourary niece and I have no doubt that he would have rejected her as a candidate precisely because of how close they are. But let’s say that he had, for whatever reason, named Melissa as his successor and she became the Ninth Holder of One For All. How do you think she differs from Izuku in terms of handling the Quirk?

Need some feedback on the planned opening chapter on my KamiJiro fic

The timer on Kyoka Jirou’s phone ticked down another second.

00:29.

Her foot bounced relentlessly against the floor.

She barely noticed.

The inside of her cheek stung where she’d been chewing at it for the better part of two minutes, and her stomach twisted itself into tighter knots every time her eyes drifted toward the bathroom door.

Don’t look yet.

The instructions had been clear. Two minutes.

She could wait another twenty-nine seconds.

She’d faced villains.

She’d stood on stage in front of hundreds of people at the Cultural Festival.

She’d even walked back into U.A. after the historic events at Kamino Ward had shattered possibly the greatest pillar of stability in all of Japan.

None of it had made her hands shake like this.

00:21.

This was ridiculous.

It had to be stress.

Between work studies, increasingly brutal training, mountains of coursework, and living in a world where All Might was retired and the League of Villains still cast a shadow over every news broadcast, it wasn’t exactly surprising if her body had decided to protest.

People missed periods from stress all the time.

Didn’t they?

She latched onto that thought with more desperation than conviction.

Because the alternative…

No.

She and Denki had been careful.

Always.

Painfully careful.

She never missed her pills. Denki insisted on bringing backups anyway, joking that if they ever ran out, Kaminari Denki—future Pro Hero Chargebolt—would die of embarrassment before he died fighting a villain.

She’d rolled her eyes.

He’d laughed.

Then he’d checked the expiry date anyway.

That was Denki.

Equal parts idiot and surprisingly responsible when it actually mattered.

The corner of her mouth almost twitched.

Almost.

It vanished as quickly as it came.

Eight days.

Eight days late.

Then the nausea.

The exhaustion.

The bloating.

Every morning she’d convinced herself it was just another symptom of overtraining.

Every evening she’d believed it a little less.

Momo certainly hadn’t.

“You should take a test,” her best friend had said gently.

When Jirou hadn’t answered, Momo had quietly added another box to the shopping basket.

“Actually… take two.”

Just in case.

00:07.

Her knee bounced harder.

Six.

Five.

Four.

This wasn’t happening.

Three.

They weren’t even—

What were they?

Friends didn’t sneak into each other’s dorm rooms after curfew.

Friends didn’t fall asleep tangled together because neither of them wanted to be the first to say goodnight.

Friends definitely didn’t end up here.

Two.

One.

Her phone chimed.

The sound made her flinch.

For a long moment she didn’t move.

Then, with legs that suddenly felt far heavier than they should, she crossed the room and stepped into the bathroom.

The dorms were unusually quiet.

Most of Class 2-A was either out on work studies or spending the weekend with their families. Good.

If anyone saw what she was doing—

No.

She wasn’t thinking about that.

Not yet.

The two tests lay side by side on the sink exactly where she’d left them.

One showed its result with coloured lines.

The other simply displayed the answer in plain text.

Her fingers trembled as she picked up the first.

Turn it over.

A blue plus sign stared back at her.

For a heartbeat, her mind refused to understand what she was looking at.

Then it did.

“No…”

Barely more than a whisper.

Her other hand shot toward the second test.

Maybe the first one was faulty.

Maybe she’d somehow—

She turned it over.

PREGNANT.

The word sat in the tiny screen with calm, mechanical certainty.

No ambiguity.

No room for hope.

Jirou simply stared.

Her breathing became shallow.

They’d been careful.

Every single time.

She took the pill.

Denki checked everything twice.

They had done everything right.

So how—

The second test slipped from her numb fingers and clattered into the sink.

The sound echoed through the empty bathroom.

Oh…

Oh, hell.

The world seemed to contract into the tiny white plastic stick in Kyoka’s hand.

The bathroom lights buzzed softly overhead.

Water dripped from the tap.

Somewhere down the corridor, someone laughed.

Normal.

Everything was painfully, impossibly normal.

Except—

She looked down at the first test.

A blue cross.

Then the second.

PREGNANT.

Her fingers tightened around the edge of the sink until her knuckles turned white.

“No…”

Barely a whisper.

She picked up the digital test again.

Read it once.

Twice.

Three times.

The word never changed.

Her mind lurched into desperate bargaining.

They’re wrong.

They have to be.

Maybe they’re from the same batch.

Maybe they’re defective.

Maybe—

The thought died before it could take root.

Two false positives?

What were the chances?

Her breathing became shallow.

Her pulse thundered in her ears.

Without realizing it, she’d begun to shake.

Pregnant.

The word echoed through her mind.

Not might be.

Not could be.

Pregnant.

A life.

The thought hit her like a physical blow.

She recoiled from it almost instantly.

“…No.”

Her stomach lurched.

She barely made it to the toilet before she threw up.

Several minutes later, she found herself sitting on the cold tiled floor.

She couldn’t remember lowering herself there.

The tests still rested on the sink.

She looked away.

A few seconds later, she looked back.

Nothing had changed.

Her hand drifted instinctively to her stomach.

There was nothing to feel.

Nothing to see.

She still looked like Kyoka Jirou.

So why did it feel as though she’d become someone else?

Denki.

His name arrived unbidden.

She saw his crooked grin.

Heard him joking as he insisted on buying extra protection “just in case.”

She’d laughed at him.

Then secretly appreciated that he’d insisted.

They’d been careful.

Every single time.

How was she supposed to tell him?

How was she supposed to look him in the eye and say—

Another wave of nausea rolled through her.

This time she managed to swallow it back.

Barely.

She closed her eyes.

Breathe.

One.

Two.

Three.

By ten, tears were slipping silently down her cheeks.

She hadn’t even noticed she’d started crying.

A soft knock.

“Kyoka?”

Momo.

Jirou froze.

Another knock.

“…Kyoka?”

A pause.

“I’m not coming in.”

“I just wanted to know if you’re alright.”

The question almost made Jirou laugh.

Instead, another tear traced its way down her face.

No.

She wasn’t alright.

She forced herself upright.

Cold water splashed across her face.

It changed nothing.

The girl staring back from the mirror looked exactly the same as she had ten minutes ago.

She hated that.

She gathered the tests.

Wrapped them in toilet paper.

Stopped.

Unwrapped them again.

No.

She’d need them.

Proof.

Because some stubborn, irrational corner of her mind was still convinced someone would look at them and tell her she’d misunderstood.

She opened the bathroom door.

Momo was waiting exactly where she’d promised.

One look at Jirou’s face, and the colour drained from hers.

“…Kyoka?”

Jirou tried to speak.

Nothing came out.

She simply held out the tests.

Momo read the first.

Then the second.

Her eyes widened almost imperceptibly.

Silence settled between them.

The distant hum of the dorm’s air conditioning filled the hallway.

Then Momo stepped forward.

Without saying a word, she wrapped her arms around her.

That was all it took.

Jirou buried her face against Momo’s shoulder as the first real sob tore free.

“…I’m scared.”

“So am I,” Momo admitted quietly.

She didn’t promise everything would be okay.

She couldn’t.

Instead, she held her friend a little tighter.

After a long while, Jirou finally whispered,

“…I have to tell Denki.”

Momo nodded.

“Not by yourself, Kyoka.”

That, at least, she could promise her.

IidaMei vs IidaKendo. Let’s hear your arguments (keep things civil, though)

I lean more towards IidaKendo, personally. Mei has a fun and more blatantly contrasting personality to Iida, but I feel like she’s both a bit much for him and seems married to the job, much like Bakugo and Tsuyu. With Kendo, she and Iida are both the responsible ‘adult’ stand-ins for their respective classes as representatives, have pretty similar mannerisms that aren’t necessarily identical, and they’d probably be able to balance each other out without overcompensating.

What would you say are among Hank Hill’s best demonstrations of personal growth and/or integrity throughout the series?

One thing that differs this show from other sitcoms is how the characters actually grow and evolve over time while still remaining fundamentally the same people, and Hank’s no exception to this rule. He’s also a man of great integrity, so either growth or integrity is enough to warrant a discussion here.

How do you see everyone else reacting if these were the first two Hero Course couples to become official?

Honestly, these both seem plausible. Ojiro and Hagakure already have implications in canon, and Shiozaki and Koda have similar temperaments that would actually make them a great fit for each other. I especially love the idea that this would happen pre-Kamino (though maybe with the timeline expanded so that Kamino happens at the end of the school year instead of the end of the semester).

The first two couples at U.A.’s hero course aren’t what anyone expected

Most people expected the likes of Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, or even Midoriya to enter relationships first - what, with how every girl seemed to give Todoroki moon eyes, every boy seemed to practically drool at the sight of Yaoyorozu, or how painfully obvious Uraraka’s crush on Midoriya was. There was also the way Kaminari and Jiro’s banter seemed to toe the line between rivalry, platonic exasperation and sexual tension. But when news of the first official relationships at U.A.’s hero course - two, in fact! - reached Mina Ashido’s ears, she found herself struggling with serious disbelief at who the lovebirds were.

The first couple was odd enough: “Ojiro and Hagakure?”

The second one was even stranger - especially since it was a cross-class relationship with students from two classes who hated each other. “Koda and Shiozaki?!”

How do you feel about the way they portrayed Uraraka and Toga’s nemesis status?

When viewing the series, it becomes clear that Toga is meant to be the nemesis/foil of Uraraka in much the same way that Shigaraki was to Midoriya, or Dabi was to Todoroki and his entire family. However, how would you say they did in terms of successfully creating a meaningful dynamic and unique rivalry and hero/villain relationship between these two women compared to the well-written rivalries between Midoriya and Shigaraki and Todoroki and Dabi?

The fire alarm goes off in the Heights Alliance dorms, prompting several embarrassing reveals

The echoes of the malfunctioning fire alarm were still ringing in everyone’s ears as the combined students of Class A and Class B made their way out of the dorms. The fire detection system had been on the fritz all week - Mr. Aizawa had promised to get technicians to repair it in the morning - but at 2:37 AM, the alarm had finally decided to fully go off its rocker, scaring everyone awake and forcing a hasty evacuation.

Now, as they sat around waiting for the fire department to leave (everyone was fairly sure there was no actual fire, but checks were still necessary before the technicians could fix the alarm), a wave of unexpected gossip started rising.

“Hey, Jiro,” Mina asked with a false innocence in her tone, “Mind if I ask you something?”

The aspiring Hearing Hero gave a wary glance at her pink-skinned classmate. “What?”

Mina’s grin turned practically devilish as she all but sang, “Why was it that when we were scrambling to get out… Kaminari came out of your room?”

Jiro and Kaminari both flushed scarlet as Hagakure added, “Yeah, and I happened to notice that your hair’s looking quite rumpled, Jiro… and Kaminari’s shirt is inside out.”

As the two spluttered protests, Setsuna interjected, “It’s not just them. I noticed Monoma and Shinso scrambling to get out from… where was it, behind a staircase? Seems like our Phantom Thief has stolen MindJack’s heart!”

Iida looked positively scandalised as his gaze rapidly shifted between the four rapidly reddening students. “Jiro! Kaminari! Monoma! Shinso! The dorms are a public living space! Your fornicating, while not technically in violation of school rules, is still a breach of basic courtesy for everyone else residing here!”

Kendo pinched the bridge of her nose in aggravation. “We’re having a meeting tomorrow to discuss this. No excuses.”

“You should bring along Komori and Kuroiro,” Awase interrupted, “They’ve been sneaking around too.”

“And don’t tell me I haven’t noticed Sekigai and Kurogane* slipping around their rooms late at night,” Sero interjected. “Those two are not subtle.”

*Sekigai and Kurogane are two of eight transfer students who joined the Hero Course after Kamino in this take on canon*

Iida had particularly gone catatonic. Kendo buried her face in her hands. Everyone else was caught up in the wave of gossip even as the firefighters left and the technicians got to work on the faulty fire alarm. And all Shota Aizawa could do was sigh in resignation as he watched the chaos unfold.

“Great,” he murmured, “just what we need. Secret dorm rendezvous.”

He was going to have to talk to the U.A. staff about this. Something told him Nezu and Kayama would want to take immediate action about this.

A different idea for why Midoriya was always going o be the final holder of One For All

Canon reveals that One For All slowly killed holders who already had Quirks - meaning Quirkless people are the only ones who can inherit the power safely, and they’re gradually going extinct, so Midoriya probably wouldn’t be able to find a successor.

Instead, I thought of focusing on the idea that One For All continually grows in power as it’s passed on and developed by its holders… because look at Midoriya. When he started out, he could barely use One For All without risk of injuring, maiming or even killing himself if he wasn’t careful. In the time he’s had it, he’s unlocked new aspects of the Quirk such as the vestiges’ Quirks.

Eventually, One For All will probably become too powerful for any person to wield, Quirk or not. Even if Midoriya hadn’t sacrificed One For All at the end of the Final War, he would have never been able to pass it on to someone else… and the power might eventually grow too much for even him to wield safely, meaning he’d probably have to take a Quirk-destroying drug just to ensure his power doesn’t destroy him.

Thoughts on this idea?

Hey, got some questions/concerns about supplementary assignments?

Okay, so I just got my grades back for Semester 1, and I realised that grades-wise, I am eligible to apply for a supplementary assignment for my course. All of the sources from UQ I have encountered have told me I need to apply within 3-4 days of results being released, but when I went to apply mere minutes after the grades released (I was expecting this to happen), it said this:

So what does this mean? I double-checked and the course I’m talking about does grant supplementary assignment, so what’s going on? Do I need to wait until the grades are finalised in ten days or something like that?
