Universe found- [Code name:- Branch Timeline] [Powers:- Quirks]
The scene opens in the conference room with several high-ranking heroes, covered in casts and bandages and looking worse for wear, sitting around along with the government officials, gazing up at the television screen.
"There is definitely something big going on," Hawks remarked, intrigued by the scene unfolding on the screen. "You normally wouldn't see these two groups of people sitting together."
"Indeed. This gathering does look odd," Ryukyu chimed in, agreeing with Hawks. "However, I am more curious about the state those heroes are in. It looks like they were recently involved in some major operation."
"Whatever it is, we will find out soon anyway," Rumi remarked casually, with a shrug.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is official! The destroyer of the Might Tower and the man responsible for the obliteration of Deika City, Ground Zero..." On the television screen, an image of Bakugo in his villain attire, resembling his hero gear but appearing significantly more ragged and menacing, with a feral grin on his face, was displayed.
There was silence for a moment as people in the auditorium stared at the screen and digested the information, as well as the picture displayed on the screen, especially on the heroes' side, where some found it very hard to absorb what was shown.
Meanwhile, there were various kinds of reactions on the villains' side. Many, like All for One, looked at the boy on the screen with keen interest. Others found the heroes' reactions amusing and their shock humorous. Lastly, the former MLA members seethed with anger at the mention of Deika City's destruction.
Finally, the tense silence was shattered by the maniacal laughter of none other than Tomura Shigaraki. "I knew it! That blonde brat was destined for villainy!" he exclaimed, panting with excitement.
"Shut the fuck up, Crusty!" Bakugo snapped, fuming with anger, which only fueled Shigaraki's amusement. Then he turned towards his side of the people and yelled, "This universe is stupid! I will never become a villain!"
"Calm down, Bakugo," Aizawa interjected, letting out a tired sigh. "Just like we told Midoriya, these alternate universes do not represent you."
"He is right, young man," All Might added. "These are just possibilities that have not come true in our universe and will give us a chance to work so it doesn't in the future as well," he said, and Bakugo finally calmed down enough to sit down, still fuming with anger, however.
During all of this commotion, however, there was one green-haired boy who sat there in silence, still stunned by the fact that Might Tower was destroyed and that too by none other than Kacchan, who was equally zealous about All Might-related stuff as he was.
"...has accepted the challenge for a fight from none other than our beloved heroine, the vanquisher of Shie Hassaika and the terror brought on by their quirk-erasing bullets, as well as All Might's successor, 'The American Nightmare' Sentinelia!" This time, the television screen displayed a picture of Melissa Shield in her hero attire: a pristine white costume with a white cape adorned with a regal-looking shield featuring nine stars.
"Look, Dad! It's me!" Melissa shrieked in glee while pointing at the screen. "I am a Hero, Dad! And I look so cool!"
"That you do, my dear daughter," David nodded, grinning from ear to ear.
"And my hero name, 'Sentinelia,' like a guardian. I really like that," Melissa nodded while still looking at the screen, etching the image of herself as a hero into her mind.
"I love your costume," Mina complimented Melissa. "I do wonder, though, what those nine stars on your cape are for," she said while Melissa just shrugged, not knowing what motivated her on-screen self to get those stars on her cape. However, there were a couple of people in the room who did know what they represented but decided to keep quiet for their own reasons.
"I am more interested in her moniker," Cathleen said with a grin. "'The American Nightmare,' huh? I would have definitely thought you were my successor if the screen hadn't told us otherwise."
"Oh, now I remember," Izuku perked up as he glanced toward Cathleen. "You were also known as 'American Dream,' weren't you?"
"Yeah, I was, during the early days of my career and still get called out by that title sometimes," Cathleen laughed out loud. "Hilariously, that title came from a beauty pageant that I had entered as a joke but ended up winning the whole thing. It then became a source of laughter for me and my friends for quite some time."
"The showdown is set for this Sunday at Kamino, right in front of the All Might statue-" The president of the Hero Commission switched off the television and turned her gaze towards Melissa, with a stern expression on her face.
"Ohh... Madam President looks pissed," Hawks said with mock concern in his voice. "This entire situation must have really worked her up."
"Yeah, I did want to ask this earlier, but why is a hero challenging a villain to a fight?" Jeanist asked. "Sounds very barbaric to me."
"Sounds fun to me!" Muscular remarked, a maniacal grin stretching across his face. "Her method sounds better than all of you chums combined!" he said, pointing at the heroes' side and earning a few glares in response.
"That was a reckless thing to do," the President said sternly. "Challenging such a dangerous and notorious villain to a fight. Do you really think that was the smart thing to do?"
"I mean, she is Yagi's successor, and we know how those tend to turn out," Aizawa remarked, casting a pointed glance at Izuku, who did his best to avoid meeting his homeroom teacher's eyes.
"Maybe not, but it's better than Ground Zero coming after me—which we know he will—and destroying a couple of cities in the process," Melissa replied. "I am the only thing he hates more than Visionary, and trust me, he hates that guy with his entire heart and soul."
"So Deku goes by Visionary in this universe," Ochako mused aloud. "Sounds nice. I wonder if he's a hero there as well."
"And how can you be sure this 'Visionary' is Midoriya and not someone else?" Mina asked.
"Just think back to how Bakugo was during the first half of the school year. Now imagine that same Bakugo with a hundred times worse anger and no restraints," she explained, causing everyone in Class 1A, including Izuku and Bakugo, to wince.
Meanwhile, Matsuki pondered Ochako's words but decided to focus on the screen for the time being, planning to ask her about it later.
"Can you take this seriously for once!? You're going to face a guy who blew up the entire Deika City, for heaven's sake!" The President said, rubbing her temples. Then, she calmed down and asked, "Do you think you can win against him?"
"I'm not a seer," Melissa shrugged. "All I can do is give it my all."
"Even though I don't want to support my counterpart... like hell he is going to lose!" Bakugo said defiantly. "No matter who he is, we Bakugos don't lose."
"I don't know, man, she looks pretty strong," Kirishima remarked with a strained smile.
"Shut it! There's no way any version of me is going to lose to some bootleg Deku," Bakugo snapped at him, leaving Kirishima scratching his head, puzzled by Bakugo's reference to 'bootleg Deku'.
On the villains' side of the room, Dabi leaned closer to Shigaraki and whispered, "You think he was part of either our group or long nose's group during our fight at Deika?" he asked.
"Who knows," Shigaraki shrugged indifferently. "He might be a third-partying scum trying to steal our kills."
"That is not enough!" the President retorted sharply. " Miss Shield, you're not under our jurisdiction. Despite the admiration you receive here for your work and your ties to All Might, officially, you're an American hero and they will have my head if something happens to you."
"But you also cannot deny my help, especially since Ground Zero is proving to be a bigger menace than anticipated," Melissa countered with a sly smile, much to the President's chagrin.
"Yeah, politics can be a real pain," Cathleen grumbled in frustration. "If it weren't for those stupid regulations, I would've had more opportunities to team up with All Might before his retirement."
"Oh, I just remembered something!" Kaminari exclaimed, capturing almost everyone's attention. "Bakugo, wasn't 'Ground Zero' one of the names you were considering for your hero alias?"
"Shut up! No one asked you!" Bakugo snapped, igniting explosions from his palms. Of course, he had noticed how his counterpart had used the name he too had considered, but accepting that meant admitting that there was a possibility he could have become a villain or would become one in the future, and that honestly scared him. Not that he was going to admit that to anyone.
"Anyway, as I was saying, you losing this fight would be catastrophic, and we cannot trust Ground Zero to come alone, especially considering his new allies," the President stated, casting a glance at the injured heroes surrounding her. "However, following last month's raid on Deika City, I don't have anyone sufficiently recovered to support you."
"It looks like Blasty wasn't the only one trying to third-party us," Shigaraki frowned, which soon turned into a smirk. "But looks like we handed them more than they bargained for."
"I must say though, this version of me sounds quite inferior if he allowed heroes to enter his city and ambush them like that," Re-Destro said, shaking his head. "The same goes for you as well," he added, pointing at Skeptic, who nodded and accepted without any argument.
"Well, that just means—" her words were interrupted as the words 'Burn it Down' blasted through the speakers around the room, followed by the onset of loud music emanating from those very speakers.
"Not this again!" the President groaned, slamming her head into her hands—an expression mirrored by many of the heroes and government officials present. Melissa, however, wore only a resigned expression on her face along with a tired sigh.
"Oh, this is getting interesting," Toru exclaimed with excitement.
"It certainly seems that way," Jiro agreed, nodding along to the music. "I'm loving the choice of music. Whoever picked it has excellent taste."
"I wonder how often they've been through this to elicit such reactions," Nemuri chuckled, observing the resigned expressions on the screen.
"I don't know, and frankly, I have no interest in finding out," Aizawa replied dryly.
Then the music stopped abruptly as the doors of the room burst open, and in strode Izuku Midoriya. He sported a cheetah print fur coat draped over a white shirt and pants, accompanied by oversized sunglasses perched on his nose.
Suddenly, half of the auditorium was staring at Izuku with one question in their minds: 'What the hell are you wearing!?' They all wanted to ask, but no one had to say anything as their stares loudly screamed in his face, leaving Izuku feeling deeply embarrassed.
"Don't listen to them, kiddo! That outfit looks fantastic!" Nemuri cheered, offering words of encouragement. "You should consider making it your hero costume."
"Midoriya, I swear, if you bring that thing anywhere near me, I'll incinerate it, and you along with it," Aizawa declared firmly. However, he immediately muttered out, stuttering, "Sorry," under his breath, facing a barrage of venomous glares from all corners of the room, with Inko's gaze being the most intense.
Immediately, security personnel and heroes sprang into action, aiming their guns and weapons at the nonchalant Izuku. However, before they could act, Miss President intervened, shouting, "Stand down, all of you!"
"But ma'am, that's Visionary! Japan's top vigilante!" protested one of the heroes.
"So, a vigilante, huh? That's new," Ochako remarked.
"Not really, we've already seen him as a vigilante in the first universe," Momo corrected Ochako. However, a thought crossed her mind. "But then again, that was a different universe, and this is a branch timeline, making this reality much closer to home for us."
"That's what I was saying!" Ochako exclaimed. "Imagine having to chase this flamboyantly dressed vigilante version of Izuku!"
"That is indeed a hilarious scenario to think about," Momo said with a chuckle.
"He's also one of the most beloved figures in the nation. If we harm him, we'll have riots in the streets," Miss President said with a sigh. "Besides, we could use some allies right now."
"Wow, Madam President must be really desperate to allow him to walk in there scot-free," Hawks mused to himself. "Then again, the kid seems to be in a much more favorable position with the public and authorities than our current roster of vigilantes."
"Do you think we can trust her, madam?" one of Miss President's bodyguards asked.
"I do," Melissa replied, without a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Izuku flashed Melissa a grateful smile, which she returned in kind.
"Aww~, thanks, Miss Nightmare," Izuku said, bowing dramatically to Melissa before his eyes sharpened as he stared at her. "I'm glad you trust me. It makes what I'm going to tell you that much easier."
"Before we get started with whatever this is," Melissa said, referring to Izuku and his eccentric entrance, "allow me to say thank you for coming to my aid last month." She spoke with utmost sincerity in her voice. "I wouldn't have escaped Deika City unscathed if you hadn't intervened."
"Ahhh! How many times are they going to mention this Deika City!? Now I need to see what happened there!" Setsuna exclaimed impatiently, unable to contain her curiosity.
"While I might not have expressed it so dramatically," Nezu remarked, referring to Setsuna's outburst, "I must admit, I am rather curious myself. It seems there's quite a story behind this city before the events of this scene."
"Well, whatever transpired, I'm just grateful that version of Midoriya kept my daughter safe," David added with a smile.
"Well, what can I say except... you're welcome," he said, laughing out loud, while Melissa shook her head with a smile, and others in the room looked at Izuku as if he had gone crazy.
"Oh, I like this version of Izuku," Toga remarked, laughing. "He seems like he'd be fun to hang around with."
"He sounds more annoying than fun," Dabi remarked, shooting a glance at Twice. "We've already got enough annoyance in the group!"
"Hey! I'm not annoying! / Thanks for the compliment!" Twice fired back.
"First things first, Meli," Izuku began as he started pacing around the room, "as much as I think your decision to confront Ground Zero is moronic and suicidal, I do understand your reasoning."
"Geez, Izuku, thanks for the vote of confidence," Melissa retorted sarcastically, prompting Izuku to let out an embarrassed chuckle and rub the back of his head. "But, by the way, I kinda like that nickname. Maybe you can call me that?"
"Meli... Hmm, it does have a nice ring to it," Izuku said, smiling back at her.
"It does, doesn't it?" Melissa replied, returning his smile.
His pacing slowed as he continued, "I understand why you challenged Ground Zero, why you feel the need to end his story." His eyes softened as he turned towards Melissa. "You're doing it to honor that man, right?" he asked, and Melissa nodded with a sad smile.
"It feels like we're missing a lot of pieces of this world," Ryukyu mused, rubbing her chin in contemplation.
"That certainly seems to be the case," Jeanist concurred. "For instance, there appears to be some history between Melissa and Bakugo beyond just their impending battle."
"Indeed," Ryukyu nodded. "And it all seems to tie back to All Might in some way."
"Now that decision is made, let me make something clear to you," Izuku said, removing his glasses and staring directly into her eyes. "You need to win that fight," he said in a resolute voice. "You need to win that fight for yourself, for your family, for All Might, for me, and for every single person who is praying for your victory," he said and watched as determination flared in Melissa's eyes.
"Wow! That was an awesome speech, Midori!" Mina exclaimed. "Maybe you should try your hand at becoming a motivational speaker!"
"And let me tell you why. If you do not defeat Ground Zero and take out the League of Villains' ace combatant from this game this upcoming Sunday, the landscape on the other side of that Sunday is very, very dark," he said in a grave voice, sending chills down Melissa's spine.
"Or maybe not..." Mina said dryly. "Way to bring down the mood, buddy."
"You know, on-screen Midoriya's words make me wonder about what kind of monster that world's Bakugo is," Monoma made an offhanded remark.
"What was that, copycat!" Bakugo snapped, his temper flaring. "Why don't you say it to my face!?"
"I don't need to repeat myself, boom boy. I know you heard me," Monoma retorted, rolling his eyes. "And why are you yelling at me? It's your golden boy who's painting this amazing picture of you," he added, while Bakugo backed off, grumbling profanities under his breath.
"The man you are going to face this Sunday is one of the most brilliant and naturally gifted fighters with a devastatingly destructive quirk of this modern era," Izuku continued.
"Yeah, I can see where Midori is coming from," Setsuna said in a dry, solemn voice. "Facing Bakugo in Joint Training was terrifying enough, so I don't even want to imagine him coming after me as a villain with intent to kill," she added, feeling a shiver run down her spine.
By now, every single person in the room was listening to him intently, with their total attention "If Bakugo Katsuki succeeds in defeating you, he gains more power, more leverage. He will do whatever he wants to satisfy his fragile ego. That glass ceiling gets thicker, those brass rings get higher."
Then Izuku approached Melissa and placed a firm hand on her shoulder. "This is probably the real last chance to destroy the dreaded alliance between Ground Zero and the League of Villains before it could cement itself. A real last chance that any of us will have to stop Kacchan from becoming the man we fear he would become."
'Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps this Bakugo boy would have made quite a formidable villain if we had more time,' All for One mused to himself. 'Then again, I don't know the history of that world. Maybe it was my other self that did something brilliant to pull that boy over to the dark side.'
Meanwhile, Melissa, who had been on edge throughout Izuku's speech, sighed in relief when he released her shoulder.
"You know, Midoriya, this isn't the best approach to getting women all worked up," Nemuri teased, winking at him with a mischievous smile. She burst into laughter when she noticed Izuku avoiding her gaze, his cheeks flushed red.
Izuku then strolled over to an empty desk and leaned against it. "You might be the woman for the job," he said, chuckling to himself. "But Mili..." He looked up and locked eyes with her. "... what's your plan, Mili?" he asked, shaking his head when Melissa met his gaze with a blank expression.
"Of course, she's Yagi's successor..." Aizawa groaned. "She's just like him," he added, as All Might's expression soured.
"Because a few years ago, your mentor, All Might, faced a similar situation and was screwed over by All for One's minions and those disgusting creatures called Nomus," Melissa's eyes hardened at Izuku's words as she glared at him. "But he fought through them all and brought an end to that despicable man."
"Well, there is at least something positive going for that world," All Might said with a relieved expression on his face. "Not having that vile man's shadow over their world is already a huge victory, in my opinion."
Meanwhile, All for One had a sour look on his face as he thought about what might have gone wrong for his other self to be defeated by the idiotic blonde.
"The deck is stacked against you just the same, except now the bar has been raised," Izuku said, gesturing with his hand. "Because now you are not just facing some no-name grunts or mindless creatures. You will be facing career criminals like Dabi, Toga, Muscular, and Moonfish, and most importantly, you will be dealing with the most influential villain in the underworld, the man who was personally groomed by one of the old titans, All for One himself. You will be dealing with Tomura Shigaraki."
"Well, looks like the final boss has arrived," Shigaraki declared with a gleeful smile. "And it seems I've made quite a name for myself!"
"Hey! Don't forget about us! We're part of this too!" Toga whined, waving her knife dangerously close to Shigaraki's face.
"I wonder if I executed my plan in that world," Dabi thought as he massaged his stinging arm.
The entire hall fell into a heavy silence at Izuku's words as the gravity of the situation sank in for everyone present. Miss President slumped into a nearby chair, grappling with how to assist Melissa despite her top heroes being either heavily injured or incapacitated. Meanwhile, Melissa herself began to question whether issuing a challenge to Ground Zero had been the right decision after all.
In the auditorium, Melissa was having similar doubts about her on-screen self. She wondered if her counterpart really made a challenge to a dangerous foe without thinking things through. Then her heart sank even more as she remembered on-screen Izuku's warning about what would happen if she lost the battle. However, just when things were looking down, she remembered who was standing in front of her on-screen self, giving her hope as she wondered why exactly Izuku's counterpart was telling her all of this.
"That is why I came here today, to tell you that you do not need to fight this battle alone," Izuku declared. At his words, Melissa looked at him with wide eyes.
A smile returned to Melissa's face as her hunch was proven right. She was right in thinking that Izuku's counterpart wasn't there just to demotivate her or tell her how stupid she was; instead, he was there to offer his help. Then her smile grew even wider as she glanced towards Izuku and saw a relieved expression on his face, making her wonder if both of them were thinking the same thing.
"Now, you and I, we haven't always seen eye to eye, and neither did your mentor and I, but last month, during the raid, you told Bakugo that you don't just want to take All Might's place; you wanted to be better than him. A better symbol for this world," Izuku declared, slamming his palms on the table for emphasis. "...and deep in my soul, I. Felt. That!"
"That's why, during the raid last month when the League ambushed you, I stepped up," he continued. "Once upon a time, I dreamt of becoming a hero like All Might. I aspired to save people with a smile and become the next symbol of peace just like him. But now, I see that same drive and passion in you, fueled by your immense power and pure heart. That's why I want to believe in you!"
Tears welled up in Melissa's eyes as she heard Izuku's earnest words. She couldn't even describe in words what it felt like for her to hear it from her friend, to hear that she had the heart to become like All Might.
All Might, meanwhile, had a gentle smile on his face. Even though he had his own reasons for not offering One for All to Melissa, he was glad to see that it wouldn't have been a bad choice. Although a part of him did wonder what kind of history on-screen Izuku had with him and Melissa.
"And I am going to help because I am sick and tired of people like Shigaraki, of people like Bakugo; these arrogant, entitled pricks who think they can do whatever they want. They use bad childhoods as a shield to hurt people, throw their weight around, do whatever they want with no consequence, and I'm sick and tired of them always getting away with it!"
After the on-screen Izuku's outburst, quite a lot of eyes turned toward Bakugo, waiting for his response or his outburst at the very least. However, to their surprise, Bakugo stayed silent, ignoring all the eyes on him while looking straight at the screen.
Inner Bakugo, on the other hand, was in quite a turmoil. Somewhere in his heart, the on-screen Izuku's words hit him quite hard. He remembered being all the things that Izuku's counterpart accused him of, and to some extent, he still had a few of those traits, his arrogance and ego being the prominent ones. But what scared him the most was the fact that if he hadn't changed, he might have well walked the path of villainy just like his counterpart.
Then he took a deep breath and composed himself. However, just then, Melissa noticed an unusual, sorrowful expression in his eyes.
"I've got to admit something to you right now," Izuku said with a sorrowful sigh. "... the man Katsuki Bakugo is today is partly my fault," he said, steeling his resolve as he noticed all the eyes on him, questioning and wondering what he was talking about.
Murmurs and confusion permeated the room upon hearing on-screen Izuku's words, as everyone was curious about what he was referring to.
Izuku himself felt a surge of curiosity, wondering why his on-screen counterpart was holding himself responsible for Kacchan turning to villainy.
"Nearly 12 years ago, two young boys roamed the streets and alleys of this nation with tactical vests and a dream of becoming the greatest vigilante duo in the world," Izuku said, leaning against the table.
Shock and surprise painted Izuku and Bakugo's faces as they listened to on-screen Izuku's words. Bakugo, in particular, couldn't help but wonder about the life he led in that world, where he felt compelled to become a vigilante and team up with Deku of all people.
"We were brothers, forged from the same fire and idolized the same man for all our lives. I taught him everything I knew and helped him master his quirk to perfection. I am partly responsible for the man he is, but I could never imagine the monster that he has become."
Bakugo was now intrigued and wanted to learn what kind of relationship his counterpart had with on-screen Izuku. He also deduced the fact that his counterpart made full use of Izuku's smarts to hone his own skills. And he also knew that he was desperately trying to ignore the twinge of pain he felt upon hearing Deku, of all people, referring to him as a monster.
"And now... that monster's got two heads," Izuku continued. "Because he is standing side by side with the only person on this planet who is as arrogant, bratty, entitled, and selfish as he is."
"I'm telling you, brat, you still have a chance. Join me. You can do whatever you want, hurt whoever you want, and you'll have this world as your playground," Shigaraki offered with a maniacal smile.
"Take your offer and shove it up your ass!" Bakugo growled at Shigaraki. "I will never join the likes of you, handjob!"
"Fine, your choice, brat!" Shigaraki clicked his tongue. "But I will be the one to end you and rip your heart out!"
"You can try, crusty, and that's all you can do... try!" Bakugo shot back.
"But when it comes to fighting The League, when it comes to fighting Shigaraki, when it comes to fighting Ground Zero..." Izuku stood up straight and walked closer to Melissa, staring right into her eyes. "There is only one man on Earth who is uniquely suited to be your shield," he smirked at her as blood-red flames surrounded his body.
Melissa couldn't help but smile widely at on-screen Izuku's words. She loved his wordplay on her surname; however, she had a feeling that there was more to that line... a little more history behind those words than she was aware of.
Izuku, meanwhile, was looking at the screen, specifically at the flames that surrounded his on-screen self, with an awe-filled look in his eyes. 'I have a quirk there,' he thought to himself as excitement filled his entire being.
"I will give you a hint. He was once an 'Architect' who built DynaMight and destroyed him. He is now a 'Visionary', who pranks heroes and makes villains' lives a living hell..." The flames around him grew, forming wings on his back. "He is Izuku 'Firehawk' Midoriya!" he declared, and with a burst of flames, he vanished from sight, leaving everyone in awe.
Everyone in the audience shared similar expressions as they watched on-screen Izuku's words and witnessed his quirk in action.
After a moment of silence, one of the heroes finally spoke up. "What just happened?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Miss Sentinelia just gained a new ally for her upcoming fight," Miss President replied. "An ally who just gave us a fighting chance."
"She's right, our odds are looking much better with him on our side," Melissa added, turning towards Miss President with the most serious look she could muster. "Miss President, mobilize whatever backup you can, and ensure they're ready by this weekend. Because this Sunday at Kamino, I am going to bring an end to this chapter of my story once and for all!"
"Bakugo, you can dream, blondie," Bakugo scoffed. "Even with Deku's help, there is no way in hell I am going to lose to the likes of you!"
"Bakugo, you might have a great quirk and be a formidable combatant, but it doesn't change a damn thing," Melissa retorted, her voice carrying a different kind of edge. "With all the people who stand behind her, Sentinelia is going to finish this story!"
Then the screen turned black.
"So, what are your thoughts?" Nezu asked.
"It was amazing to see myself as a hero!" Melissa exclaimed. "Being All Might's successor was just the cherry on top."
"I'm definitely making a replica of her hero costume to display in our house," David said proudly.
"I felt like we were missing a lot of context," Ryukyu added.
"Absolutely!" Mina agreed. "Especially that line at the end, 'He was once an 'Architect' who built DynaMight and destroyed him.' It feels like there's a whole backstory there."
They continued discussing on-screen Izuku's persona, his quirk, Sentinelia's choice to confront a villain, and other observations.
"If that's all, let's move on to the next universe," Nezu concluded.
To be continued...
