I just can't believe how far I've come with this story. Its crazy and I'm only just reaching the twenties in chapter amount and the second arc of the story. Needless to say, I certainly wasn't expecting this.
Thank you all so much. To my loyal readers for being with me all the way. To the ones who just pass by for taking the time to give my story a chance. And just everyone who's even just read a single word. It means a lot to me.
Now there are a few things I wanna say/respond to.
Now, I realize I might sound a bit selfish when I say this, but it's the truth and I mean no offense to anyone. I'm not doing these stories for anyone's approval. I'm not doing these stories for anyone really. The only person I'm doing this story and all my others stories are for me and me alone. I really couldn't care less what other people think.
Don't get my wrong, I meant it when I said I thank you all for reading and I'm glad you all enjoy them. It makes me happy that I'm making others happy and giving them something to enjoy. But when it comes to the big picture I'm just doing what I want to have fun. And nearly everything I've done in this story and all others I've done because I think they're really fun ideas.
The only people's whose opinions I really care about are my friends Petrus and Qazse. They're some of the best friends I have and help me so much with my stuff. I don't I would have even as close to as far as I've come without either of them. You guys are the best and I couldn't ask for better friends.
So to the people that do like what I've been doing, then I'm glad you're having a lot of fun with my little projects. Like I said I wasn't really expecting so many people to like my stuff, especially considering my reason for doing it all. And for those who don't, well I respect your opinion and won't make any arguments. Opinions are what make us human and I hope you find stories you do enjoy reading.
I'm not in this to be popular, I'm not in this to get thousands of reviews, favorites, and followers. I'm just in this because it's a fun hobby that I hope I can keep doing for years to come. I honestly enjoy writing fanfics more than other activities. Even video games.
But still, despite these words there are still some people I wanna thank.
Petrus and Qazse: I've already said it, but these two are some of the best friends I could ever had. A lot of my ideas and even entire fics are only possible because of them. Heck, I've even got a BIG list of future fics I wanna do written on my phone that I'm eager to do in the future and most of them are only possible because of the two of them. Thank you both so much for everything.
Yellowpikmin88: Another good friend of mine who's review I always look forward to seeing and he's also a fellow writer. He's currently doing a crossover of Pixars The Incredibles and MHA and I highly recommend you check it out. It's awesome!
Gamelover41592: You've reviewed on just about every chapter of all my stories. Thank you so much for sticking around with all my stories for so long. You rule man.
Sucramstock: Another person that leaves a review pretty much every chapter. But also defended me in the reviews. Thanks a lot for that man, it meant a lot.
And that's all the people I wanna thank for now but like I said, it means a lot that so many people enjoy this and my other stories.
And for this one in specific I wanna do one more thing. I'm gonna reveal my top three and bottom three favorite characters for both MHA and RWBY as well as my favorite and least favorite arc in MHA and fav and least fav Volume in RWBY
Ready? Here we go!
Favorite Characters (MHA)
#3 Tamaki Amajiki
One of the Big Three of UA and as you can see my favorite member of said group. Not only can I relate to him in lot in terms of personality sometimes, lol, but I also gotta say he has one of my favorite quirks in the entire series. The animal manifestations were cool and when he busted out his Vast Hybrid ultimate move in the Overhaul Arc I was literally cheering as I stood up. I also think he has one of the best backstories of the big three to. While Mirio's certainly is inspiring with how his journey to control his quirk and…we know next to nothing about Nejire's backstory, with Tamaki seeing him as someone who essentially sees Mirio like how Izuku sees All Might was really impactful and truly shows the two's friendship. And his theme is freakin HYPE! I know it was originally Aoyama's theme but…sorry dude Suneater deserves it more. Plus his fight was one of the best of the Overhaul arc.
#2 Izuku Midoriya
If I'm being honest here, the main protagonist isn't usually even in my top five favorite characters. But its just impossible not to like Izuku. I would say he's the pinnacle of what a Shonen protagonist should be. He's smart, friendly and nice, shy and awkward, but also extremely strong willed and holds firm to his beliefs. We see him grow and slowly step out of All Might's shadow. He's truly a battle genius being able to make observations and predictions even while flying through the sky with a girl on his back and facing one of the deadliest villains in the serious who could kill anyone with a single touch.
#1 Hero Killer Stain
Ok seriously, why don't MORE anime and just shows in general have villains like Stain? Stain just brings so dang much to the table with his philosophy. And you know something? He's right! A majority of the heroes we see in the show are either just fame hungry and looking to be in the spotlight (For example Mt. Lady and Uwabami) or are just total scumbags (we'll get to that later) and Stain's words completely change the world of MHA and put it in a new light. He's still be talked about in the series now! I don't think a villain or even a character has impacted the universe of a show nearly as much as Stain has. Heck his words can even apply to somethings in real life as well. And when a character can bring things that deep, well, you know you've made something great and impactful.
Honorable Mention
Nejire Hado: Ok, I really wished I could have had her on the list. She has probably my favorite design for a character in the show as she is just so freaking adorable. Her personality is a ton of fun. And her quirk is essentially ki from DBZ. However…as said during Tamaki's spot, one thing is really holding her back. We know next to nothing about here really. During the Overhaul arc we got this big stories for Mirio and Tamaki. What drives them, what inspires them, how hard they've worked etc. Those two really stole the show. But Nejire got freaking shafted that arc. We got so form of backstory, no flashbacks, we don't know why she wants to be a hero and so forth. And the fight she had during that arc was…mediocre compared to everything else. I really hope we get to see more of her in the future and get an actual backstory for her. But as of now, I can't even have her as top five. Man she really needs a backstory…welp…you want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself!
Least Favorite Characters (MHA)
#3 Minoru Mineta
Ok, do I REALLY have to explain myself with this one? Its been said thousands of times in the fandom so I'll just get it out of the way. He's an extreme pervert to the point of seriously being disturbing, he's a complete coward most of the time, and the only time its fun to see him is when he's getting his assed kicked around. Alright I think that does it.
#2 Katsuki Bakugo
Ok, I'll go out and say. I don't get why people like this guy. Yes, he definitely does showcase extreme amounts of tenacity and determination. But…that's just about where the good things I have to say for him ends. He is a complete shit hole. Yeah ok I admit he has definitely developed over the course of the series but he still has TONS of problems and that doesn't changed what he's done in the past to Izuku. He's extremely arrogant and prideful to the point of being an extreme perfectionist. He's a jerk to just about everyone around him and need I mention his years of bullying Izuku to the point of him telling Izuku to go kill himself? I am sorry but there is almost no coming back from telling someone to do that no matter what you do and Bakugo doesn't feel a bit of guilt for everything he's done. And that's just the stuff that was shown on screen who knows what else he did to Izuku for those 10 years after Izuku was revealed to be quirkless. Really, my favorite moments with Bakugo are the rare ones where he's getting his assed kick because someone like him deserves PLENTY of those. Speaking of…
#1 Endeavor
Ok…so…take all the bad things I've said about Bakugo and take to an even FURTHER extreme. Then you got Endeavor. I can at least say a nice thing or two about Bakugo. But Endeavor is the very definition of a scumbag. He's abused probably all of his kids, especially Todoroki who he essentially trained like a solider since he was 4 or 5, and abused his wife to the point of breaking her mind. He then proceeded to lock said wife in a mental hospital for TEN YEARS! Why is this guy allowed to be a hero again? And remember when I was talking about Stain and said how some heroes are just total scumbugs? Well calling Endeavor a total scumbag is probably an insult to total scumbags. This guy doesn't deserve to be number one hero or even a hero at all and should probably be locked up and denied of any contact with other human beings.
Dishonorable mention: Neito Monoma
Ok he's annoying is just crazy when it comes to competing with class 1-A. Its not that bad since we don't see him to much so he's just kind of a nuisance at worst.
Favorite MHA arc: Sports Festival
Ok, this was a close one between the Overhaul Arc. But in the end, I gotta say the Sports Festival is the best. If the Overhaul Arc gave Nejire her time to shine then it probably would have pulled ahead. The Sports Festival really gives a lot of characters their time to shine or sets up arcs with other characters. The fights ranged from epic to funny and imo is the pure essence of what MHA is truly about.
Least favorite MHA arc: Pro Hero Arc.
Three words. Endeavor. Centric. Arc. I don't like Endeavor even a little bit so I didn't really enjoy his arc all to much. Hawks was fun but I just can't like any second Endeavor is one screen. The fight between Endeavor and High End was cool…although I was rooting for High End. So yeah that's really all I have to say about that.
Welp, onto RWBY
Favorite Characters (RWBY)
#3 Ironwood
Freaking general Ironwood man. He'll do whatever it takes to keep Atlas safe and is a guy that would be happy to let his name get dragged through the mud if it meant that people would be saved. His own morals and the morals of Ruby are in conflict but you can't really say one side is wrong or right. They both have good and wrong points to where you just go with your gut on this one. But despite that, Ironwood is a man that would even die if it meant protecting the people and land he cares about. He's just such a respectable guy. And the flaws he does have really just make his character even better. Plus, his theme song is sung by Caleb Hyles. That alone gets him in top 10.
#2 Neo
Easily one of the most mysterious in RWBY. Completely silent with little to no information on her backstory. Although from her song One Thing we can at least determine that she most likely had a horrible life until she was found by Roman Torchwick. Her fighting style and semblance are also a joy to watch I've always enjoyed watching kickers more, her weapon is very creative and versatile, and her semblance can really screw around with people. While it was stated that Mercury has one of the darkest backstories, Neo's is the one I'm most looking forward to finding out about. Plus, she's the prettiest girl in RWBY, saying it now. And let the flame wars begin.
#1 Yang Xiao Long
Yang is so much freaking fun. That's probably the best way I can describe her. For the first three volumes, she was just a brawler that loved to punch all the things. Just look at their songs. Ruby's is about her dead mother. Weiss was about her sheltered and lonely childhood. Blake's is about how her species are oppressed and how she'll fight for them. Yangs is about how she can and will kick your ass in every possible way. Its freaking awesome. And after she lost her arm, she went through a pretty good character arc about her getting her mojo back. And in volume 5 and onward she's mostly back to her old self but with a better view on things. And her PTSD still affecting her sometimes as seen with her left arm shaking. I always look forward to her scenes and she just always puts a smile on my face.
And to the people asking for me to ship her with Bakugo….HAHAHAHAHAHA! OH HELL NO!
Honorable Mention: Jaune Arc
Probably the character that has gone through the most development in RWBY. We seen him slowly grow from an awkward and incompetent fighter to a pretty good leader and strategist for the first three volumes. And then after Pyrrha's death in volume three is where we truly see Jaune start to grow. He really starts to grow and truly become a dedicated and strong soldier to the point where he ACTUALLY managed to land a hit on Cinder! Not counting Ruby and her silver eyes, I don't think any characters have really managed to make any sort of real dent in Cinder. Sure it was just a small cut across where her eye used to be, but still! This guy is gonna go far.
Least Favorite Characters (RWBY)
#3 Jacques and Whitley Schnee
Alright, I put them together because Whitley might as well be a mini Jacques. Point is, they are corrupt business men who put their money and work above all else, even their own family. Both deserve no respect and it was so satisfying to see what happened to Jacques in volume 7.
#2 Tyrian
Alright, I'm just gonna go out and say it. He's kinda a rip off of Carnage in terms of personality. And he's not really as fun to watch as Carnage. I just find him kinda boring to watch but that's just me. His fight with Qrow in volume four was really cool though but everything else about him I felt I've seen it done lots of times before but better.
#1 Arthur Watts.
Ok this is the same case as Tyrian where I felt like I've seen something before but better. Only this time its from the very same show. Watts, to me, just feels like a discount Cinder with how he does things. A lot of the things we've seen him do before, Cinder has also done but it was a lot more fun to watch when she did it and Cinder has a more fleshed out personality that makes her fun to watch. Watts…just felt really boring.
Dishonorable mention: Cardin Winchester
He's pretty much just the big tough dumb stupid racist bully. All there is to him really. Like Monoma, just kind of a minor nuisance.
Favorite Volume: Volume 4
This volume was incredibly engaging with how we've seen everyone handle the fall of Beacon. With team RNJR heading to Mistral with Ruby and especially Jaune handling the loss of Pyrrha. Yang dealing with her PTSD and getting her mojo back. Getting to see just how the other members of Weiss's family are in Atlas, and Blake going back home to Menagerie with Sun tagging along. We also get to see the backstory of Ren and Nora and what some of the other villains we're dealing with are like. So much happened in this volume and we also got some of the best fights in the serious and imo this volume has the best soundtrack of all the volumes of RWBY. This is one I often find myself coming back to.
Least Favorite Volume: Volume 3
OK! Before anyone says ANYTHING! I'll let you know that I don't dislike this volume. Its just the one I like the least. And that's because its so. Hard. To watch. Seeing it for the first time…was one of the toughest experiences ever. And I've never watched it in full again. I just can't take it all again. Even if I know its going to happen its just…to much. In a way it shows how good this show is to make you feel such intense emotions. So that's the reason its right here. It makes me feel feelings! XD
Welp, that's it for now. I'll see you all for the next official chapter that continues the story. Have a good night everyone.
