Hello and welcome to another experimental fanfic of Boku no Hero Academia, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, and this is probably an ambitious experiment that I'm going to try out on.
This came about after doing a random search on Wikipedia, in which I accidentally came across an article on an Italian filmmaker, and as I scroll on the director's list of filmography, I accidentally saw one of the films he directed, which bears the name Tarzan. Out of curiosity as that certain article couldn't be highlighted, I checked this film out via Google, and I was surprised to find out that it is an ADULT VERSION of Tarzan…totally UNCENSORED.
But curiosity enticed me to check out this movie by downloading it and after over an hour I was still in disbelief that this Italian filmmaker made an ADULT movie based on Tarzan, and as much as I hate to admit, it generated ideas popping into my head and now I just came up with a My Hero Academia version based on the ADULT Tarzan movie.
Midoriya came into mind due to some similarities with the titular character: Tarzan was orphaned since infancy and raised in the jungle and under surrogacy by mostly apes, and his curiosity about civilization was awakened upon meeting Jane for the first time; Midoriya, on the other hand, was born Quirkless and spent 14 years of his life being discriminated for having no Quirk until meeting All Might and received One For All, which Midoriya experienced having a Quirk for the first time.
Okay…there's a MHA X Tarzan fic already been uploaded, so why another? Well, as the title implies, I based it on the so-called ROUTE that is seen in the FATE series made by Type-Moon (such as FATE/STAY Night, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel, where the MC is paired with three different female leads). In this case, having someone portraying a version of Jane, I thought carefully until Itsuka Kendo came into mind, as aside from the Fate series, the inspiration came from Inuyasha, in which a free-spirited female lead managed to keep what appeared to be a STRONG MC in line, a stark contrast to Jane. And there I decided to pair them and have them undergo an adventure…discovery…and SENSUALITY.
Yup, this will be a Midoriya x Kendo pairing…with a twist…
This will be rated M for obvious reasons…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Jangurubōi ni naru pureryūdo
Japan.
The country that is located within East Asia, quite near different Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, Korea, India, and the Philippines, is seen and that country is ruled by the Diet, and are handled by the Emperor and the Prime Minister. After Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, the country began to change for the better, and for several decades Japan vastly improved, mostly in the technological department yet their culture and values remained the same, as most Japanese citizens remained hospitable to visitors, residents and tourists alike.
The scene then shifts to Yokohama, which is the second largest city in Japan by population, and the most populous municipality of Japan. It is the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture. It lies on Tokyo Bay, south of Tokyo, in the Kantō region of the main island of Honshu. It is a major commercial hub of the Greater Tokyo Area.
The current area surrounded by Maita Park, the Ōoka River and the Nakamura River had been a gulf divided by a sandbar from the open sea.
Before the emergence of Quirks and the superhero society, Yokohama was bustling with life being a commercial hub, thus it is known for selling things that are trending to people, ranging from food to clothes to luxury vehicles and even the latest gadgets.
The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality. You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.
"Hello...please by our items..."
"They are cheaper..."
"...they are in good working condition..."
"You can try them if you like..."
"I promise you will like them..."
"I promise you will get your money's worth..."
"Here are the items on our display..."
"Pick the one you like..."
Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:
- Nintendo Famicom
- Super Famicom
- Sega Mega Drive
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Advance
- Neo Geo
- Sony Playstation
- Sega Saturn
- Nintendo 64
In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles such as the Sony Playstation 4, the Microsoft X-Box One and the Nintendo Wii, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.
"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"
"Yes...they are cool..."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."
"Hmm..."
"Would you like to try them...?"
"..."
"I promise you will not regret it..."
Though when people with Quirks became prevalent, life and business went on smoothly as usual, but then Yakuza groups began to make their presence known, doing illegal business such as drug trafficking, and soon it disrupted the daily lives of the Yokohama residents, as gang wars erupted and this resulted in gang members engaging in firefights, which claimed innocent lives in the process.
Worsening the matter are Yakuza members began hiring applicants who possess Quirks and each rival gangs became more bold, as they challenged the police and are one step ahead of them, occasionally attacking various police precincts and killing and/or maiming police officers.
When the SYMBOL OF PEACE AND JUSTICE emerged in the form of pro hero All Might appeared, his actions steadily and gradually put a dent on the gangs in Yokohama, temporarily crippling the drug business. The masses were grateful to All Might and they began cheering for the Number One hero.
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"
"Hurray for All Might!"

But on one fateful day, a married couple were walking by the sidewalk near Chinatown, which is situated in Yokohama, when a Yakuza member is fleeing from cops and fired indiscriminately.
Fearing capture the suspect saw the passing and needing a way out he grabbed the couple's infant son and uses him as a hostage and the married couple shrieked in horror, seeing that their infant son, who is four months old, is being held hostage while the suspect aimed the gun on the baby's head on his shoulder, and the maddened Yakuza member unremorsefully said that they better not scream or they will say BYE BYE to the LITTLE BRAT.
"Okay…not a scream…!"
"Hey!"
"My baby!"
"Stay there and don't even try to follow…!"
"Don't you hurt my son!"
"Give me back my baby!"
"I mean it! Take a step closer or I shoot him!"
"No, don't…!"
"My baby…!"
But before the Yakuza member is about to escape with the hostage, a husband and wife tandem, along with their infant daughter, passed by and coincidentally saw what happened, and both did a KARATE CHOP on the suspect's head, knocking him out and they rescued the baby boy.
The parents, Hisashi and Inko Midoriya, cried in relief as they are relieved that their child is safe and unharmed, and when the other couple, revealed to be the Kendo, asked why where they unable to stop the hostage-taker, and the Midoriya parents sadly revealed that they are Quirkless, thus they are POWERLESS to do anything, which the Kendo parents nodded understandably.
As the Kendo parents assured to them that things will be okay and that their son will have a good life in the years to come the Midoriya parents sadly confided that they are worried that their son would have a harsh life ahead due to the fact to the fact that they themselves were born Quirkless.
Thus, it is likely that their son would be Quirkless in the years to come.
But the Kendo parents assured to them that even if that might be the case, something good is bound to happen, and that the Midoriya parents might encounter something good and may turn their fortune around. Hisashi and Inko huddled as they are wondering what the Kendo couple just said, wondering if they are just trying to cheer them up despite the fact that they know now that the Midoriya are Quirkless.
"Hisashi…"
"Yeah…?"
"Are they…?"
"They are just trying to cheer us up…"
"Really…?"
"Probably…"
"…"
"Lets thank them…"
"You're right…"
After that, the Kendo family took their leave, and the Midoriya parents watched their son as they tell him that they will do all they could so that he would live a life free from discrimination and persecution in the Hero Society.
"Izuku…"
"Izuku…"
"…"
"Your mom and dad will be here for you…"
"And we will protect you…"
"…"
"We promise…you will have a good life ahead for you…"
"We love you, son…"

Four months later, the Midoriya family seemingly got a stroke of luck as Inko went to a carnival and went to a lottery booth to play, and to her surprise, she won the grand prize in which it was a free ticket, and a round trip for three in which they are going to Madagascar, and after being told, Hisashi is in disbelief about the fact that his wife won a grand prize.
"What? Really?"
"Yes! It's true!"
"You actually won a grand prize, Inko?"
"I did!"
"Can you get some confirmation that the prize is legitimate."
"I'll give it a try…"
"Go for it…we need to make sure…"
"Okay…"
After getting confirmation, Hisashi was overjoyed as this would be their first trip outside Japan, and they told their now-eight month old Izuku that this will be a memorable moment for the family. He told Inko that he will be bringing a camera so that he can take pictures and put it on a photo album so as to make memorable moments so that when their son grows up he will find out how lucky he is.
"The camera is still in good condition. Now we can take pictures."
"Good! Oh, Izuku…you'll be having your first trip in such a very young age…"
"Goo-goo…"
"The family who saved you were right…you're sure to get a good life…"
"And this is a blessing for you, my son…"
"Gah-gah…"
"Get ready, Izuku..."
"This will be a memorable moment for you…"
"Goo-goo…gah-gah…"
-x-
Over a month later, the Midoriya family are at the airport and got a business class section and they are excited at their first overseas trip along with their nine-month old Izuku and after several minutes the plane took off, where the passengers are bracing themselves for a very long flight, as the trip to Madagascar would take over 31 hours.
In the hours after leaving Japan, Hisashi and Inko were playing with Izuku, who just cooed in response and his parents told him that he will have lots of memories of the trip once he gets older and he would cherish every moment of it once they return after their trip.
"Take your time, Izuku. We are several hours away before reaching your first vacation."
"Oh, Izuku…you must be excited…since you'll be having your first trip in a foreign country at such a very young age…"
"Goo-goo…"
"When you get older…you should thank the family who saved your life…you're sure to get a good relationship with them…"
"And this is a blessing for you, my son so be sure to thank them…"
"Gah-gah…"
"Get ready, Izuku…you're about to experience something amazing..."
"Indeed…your very first vacation…and this will be a memorable moment for you…"
"Goo-goo…gah-gah…"
20 hours have passed, and the trip appeared to be peaceful, as the passengers are sleeping peacefully on their seats and the stewardesses are making rounds to see if the passengers are comfortable, and coincidentally the Midoriya parents woke up, and checked their watches, and realized that it is still nightfall even though it was already way past midnight.
Hisashi accidentally took a peek and saw something that would alarm him, as black smoke is seen leaking from the ceiling, and getting a whiff, he realized how serious this is and woke up Inko and whispered to her what is going on. She became alarmed at what she was told, especially when she smelled the burning scent which confirm what her husband is telling her.
As Hisashi and Inko are heading towards the back area of the airplane, the smoke made its way through the passenger area, and slowly rouses the sleeping passengers, and panic began to ensue.
"Smoke!"
"And it smells like burning metal!"
"The plane is on fire!"
"We're gonna crash!"
"Fire!"
"EEEEKKK!"
"KKKKKKKYYYYAAAAHHH!"
"HHHHHEEEELLLLLPPPPP!"
