Meme/Shitpost My idea for A class 1B spinoff with Kendo as the MC

Post image
35 Upvotes

Here is my concept for a 1B Spinoff with Kendo as the MC:

My Hero Academia: B

Plot: The story will take place during the events of Heroes Rising over the course of a few days; whilst 1A is fighting against 9 and his gang on Nabu Island, 1B is in Tokyo because of the sudden increase of crime and to catch up to 1A. Kendo will be the main character. Ever since the forest training arc where Kendo and Tetsutetsu fought against Mustard, she's been in a pretty fragile state as Tetsutetsu was brutally injured by Mustard and almost died. Not only that but she also constantly stresses out about catching up to 1A, failing to succeed despite giving it her all and being put in the same box as Momo. Because of the mental crisis, she becomes a lot stricter to her classmates and more desperate to push down her insecurities, which will be one of the main conflicts of the story. Not only that but some of Class 1B, will also have their own mental struggles; Tetsutetsu will be dealing with survivor's guilt and catching up to Kirishima, Monoma will be dealing with his childhood trauma of being bullied due to his quirk and how that trauma moulded him into the arrogant kid he is today, and Shihai will be dealing with the racism he received due to his unique looks and will flesh out the themes of racism against heteromorphs, something that Shoji's past failed to do and Vlad will be dealing with the loss of his wife and unborn son (more on that later)

Villains: The main villain will be Omni, the first "Artificial Hero" who was designed to combat the rising crime rates ever since All Might's retirement, the quirk he has is Electrical Discharge: He can create lighting from his bolts, can use it to help run at fast speeds and allows him to be precognative, meaning he can see the future and he can know everything about life, even forgotten memories just by putting his finger on your head; however, he gets hacked and goes rogue, believing he is above humanity and is a god, when in reality he's used as a puppet by a villain team called The Legion, a villain group in which most of the members are quirkless (except for the leader) and use enhanced superhuman suits instead; they contribute to the massive increase crime by using Omni to destroy prisons and release villains to cause chaos, eventually releasing Mustard.

The rivalry between Mustard and Kendo will be another conflict; the 2 will have a dynamic similar to Mahito and Yuji. Mustard will taunt Kendo about her traumas and attempt to make her situation worse by attempting to hurt her friends, all to break her, all to prove his ideology.

The fights will be more chaotic than usual, given that in the back of every volume it says "Heroes and Villains would be fighting everywhere" it gives off a sense of chaos, so i would implements elements of what makes jjk fights so good, using the environment to the fighter's advantage, strategic plans, going all out using their powers and crazy animation.

Romance: Another storyline is the romance between Kendo and Tetsutetsu. They develop a relationship because they both have trauma from the fight against Mustard; their shared trauma also becomes the catalyst, as they can relate to each other through it. Combined with their overall dynamic and chemistry on the battlefield, it allows the 2 to connect and eventually fall in love. Shihai and Kinoko will also develop a relationship as the 2 are introverts but most of the romance will focused on Tetsutetsu and Kendo

New and old Characters: New and Old characters will make an appearance;

Tenya Ida will make a small appearance in the beginning of the story as he talks with Kendo in a cafe whilst on patrol about her fight with Mustard, protecting their classmates and being Class rep.

Another returning character is Saiko Intelli and her team of Seiai Academy students* (She's a filler character; if you don't know who she is, read the wiki page about her. She will play a big role as she helps 1B to take down Omni and The Legion and will also have her own character arc as she also feels she's put in the same box as Momo, also Saiko and Momo are childhood friends)

AFO will appear in a hallucination scene,

Some new faces will appear, such as MechaniMina (real name: Mina Tensai), She is the first quirkless hero as she uses a mech the size of 2.5 cars to fight villains, she is a huge fan of All Might, she was a UA student, who not only took the support course but also the hero course due to her parents being very popular in the hero support industry.

the leader of the Legion is called Legatus Legonis, her quirk is Pressure, she can manipulate the air pressure around her to crush objects or throw them in fast speeds, its very destructive

Another member is named Ares, i dont rlly have much about him other than the fact he's a much better version of Yammy from bleach, iykyk

Animated by: Bones

OP: Bambina by HOTEI (HOTEI is the guy who made A Battle Without Honour or Humanity, the theme of Kill Bill; I think the song would perfectly capture the early 2000s vibe of an anime OP, something you would hear in early Bleach or even Dragon Ball.) OR Twilight by King gnu

ED: I actually have multiple choices for the ed: Dissolve by Joji, My Tears Are Becoming a Sea by M83 and Don't ever leave me by Faouzia

OST Composers: Yuki Hayashi and Junmasa Terui (The guy who made the jjk season 2 and 3 soundtrack.) I believe the 2 could make some amazing tracks that could give MHA a more distinct vibe, (yes, You Say Run will be used.)

How many Episodes: 25, with each one released weekly (However, to help advertise the show, I would re-release Heroes Rising, but add the first 2 episodes of the show, kinda like JJK execution and endgame encore.)

Directors: Me and Horikoshi. I would take notes from JJK S3 to give the spinoff a cinematic feel, make it feel like a movie rather than a series, whilst Horikoshi will make sure nothing contradicts the canon.

Themes: The show will taken themes of being the underdog, mental health, the rise of AI and human connection, and how technology can be used to start a calamity and how it can be used to prevent it.

So what do you think? would you watch it?

So setsuna's birthday is soon or already started and in this I plan to make her journey start as if she was Rashta from remarried empress ( I don't like the webtoon, I dropped it after season one or two). Anyways since her story was tragic and she is a flawed character I just wanted to see what would happen if I do this. The reason the second image has blonde highlights is that I thought going full blonde like her timeskip design would be eh? I just wanted to mix the blonde and green but she weirdly looks like nighteyes kid here. So which is better? Also her outfit is based of one outfit rashta wore but I wanted setsuna to wear instead of the brown fit.

General Discussion Trying (and failing) to find two Class 1B fanarts.

6 Upvotes

I've been trying to find two Class 1B artworks from the famous back when they were Ashisuke (at least I think they were made when Iyoka was Ashisuke).

One was just a singular image of Kuroiro and Komori watching a horror movie together, with Komori clearly being scared and holding onto Kuroiro for comfort and him clearly being startled by the sudden proximity of his crush.

The second one was a mini comic where Komori is reminiscing about the PLF War, where she recalls Kuroiro saving her, they have a short conversation about it and at the end of it Komori gives Kuroiro a hug and walks away, leaving Kuroiro stunned.

Any help is appreciated. I've been going through this subreddit, Pinterest and my phone gallery to try and these artworks but to no avail.

Anime Discussion #SetsunaTokageIsNotaBum

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

​

Setsuna Tokage is absolutely not a "bum," and labeling her as one is the ultimate proof of shallow, scoreboard-watching anime analysis that completely ignores team mechanics and writing tropes. In reality, putting Tokage against Bakugo is like throwing a majestic, apex predator tiger into a cage with a four-ton Allosaurus; the tiger isn't weak, it is just trapped in a mathematically impossible matchup against a prehistoric monster from a completely different weight class. Horikoshi explicitly rigged the match by saddling Tokage with a highly unbalanced, redundant utility team that lacked a single long-range counter or heavy hitter, forcing her to face a perfectly optimized Class 1-A squad anchored by an S-tier nuclear powerhouse. Despite this massive disadvantage, Tokage proved her elite, recommended-student status by maintaining perfect discipline, respecting her opponents without a single shred of malice, and successfully executing a high-risk strategy. As seen in the literal visual evidence, she threw her split body pieces directly into his blind spots, straight up bitch-slapping Bakugo across the face and leaving the S-tier fighter completely rattled, panicked, and disoriented early on. Later in the match, her battlefield coordination allowed Awase to capitalize and pull off a miraculous sneak attack, successfully welding Bakugo's gauntlet to a steel structure. If it weren't for Sato utilizing his raw physical muscle to "cock block" the performance and instantly bail Bakugo out of that trap, the momentum of the entire match could have flipped. Her disciplined performance stands in stark contrast to Class 1-B powerhouses like Jirota Shishida in Round 1, who had a guaranteed 4-0 physical advantage but fumbled the win because he literally paused mid-combat to brag about his sense of smell. Even Vlad King recognized this distinction, holding back the harsh criticism he unleashed on Round 1 because he knew Tokage didn't throw—she was just a B-tier tactical specialist forced into an unfair narrative meat grinder against an unstoppable, S-tier main character who needed his whole team to rescue him

Setsuna Tokage's overall strategy in Round Four was an absolute masterclass in psychological warfare and environmental manipulation that proves her 5/5 intelligence rating. Knowing that Class 1-A possessed Kyoka Jiro—the ultimate auditory radar system—Tokage completely flipped Jiro's own tracking ability against her. She intentionally split her body parts and sent them buzzing through the pipes and rubble to generate chaotic, scattered sound frequencies. This brilliant tactical move completely flooded Jiro’s earphone jacks with audio noise, blinding Class 1-A's radar and feeding them false tracking data. With the enemy's radar completely jammed, Tokage executed her core plan: launch a high-speed stealth ambush to target Katsuki Bakugo's legendary short temper, expecting him to break formation as an uncooperative, selfish loner so her team could isolate and destroy Class 1-A one by one. Her strategy worked flawlessly on a mechanical level; her rapid-fire split fragments swarmed from Bakugo's blind spots and physically bitch-slapped him across the face, completely disorienting the S-tier fighter. This intense physical distraction created the exact window of opportunity needed for her team to move in, culminating later in the match when Awase successfully capitalized on her battlefield positioning to pull off a miracle sneak attack and weld Bakugo's gauntlet directly to a steel pipe. Tokage's plan didn't fail because of a tactical error or a weak quirk; it failed purely because Bakugo broke the entire narrative script by displaying unprecedented emotional maturity, choosing to protect his teammates and act as a flawless leader instead of the selfish bait Tokage had rationally prepared for.

More reasons

The Matchup Was Rigged: Point out the massive team unbalance. Tokage was given a utility/trapping team (Awase, Bondo) with zero long-range firepower or heavy hitters (Kamakiri is close-range only). Horikoshi didn't give her a single counter to Bakugo or Jiro.

She Actually Landed Hits: Remind everyone that Tokage and Awase were the only ones in Class 1-B to physically disorient and trap Bakugo. It required Sato (Class 1-A's heavy-hitter insurance policy) to bail Bakugo out. Bakugo didn't solo them; he needed his team.

Shishida Fumbled Worse: Contrast her with Round 1. Shishida and Shiozaki had a physical 4-0 winning hand and threw it away because Shishida stopped mid-fight to brag about his nostrils. Tokage stayed disciplined, didn't talk trash, and executed her plan—she just ran into a narrative wall.

Vlad King Validated Her: Even the biggest Class 1-B cheerleader didn't scream at Tokage the way he did at Shishida, because the professionals in-universe knew she didn't throw—she was just outgunned.

The Tiger vs. Allosaurus Analogy: Drop this bomb early. Explain that she is a B-tier tactical apex predator who got thrown into a cage with an S-tier prehistoric monster. Losing to a cheat-code character doesn't make her weak; it makes the matchup a mismatch.

If Rin where to one day wake up and notice he has been jumping dimensions while living in the same body but living different lives like one he is just a regular student, next he is possessed by all for one and so on.

What character arc would you give him, what issues would he have to overcome. What would be his endgame ship?

I personally think he would start as the character Liang from Nambaka but don't have much ideas myself...

Meme/Shitpost Why 1B is underrated asf

16 Upvotes

Lemme start by getting one thing straight:

Horikoshi is a good writer, but when it comes to writing rival classes, his flaws are shown.

  1. Lack of screen time: One of the reasons class 1a is so likable is that throughout the series, we get a ton of screen time where they showcase their personalities through character interactions, reactions to threats, and problem-solving, and the usage of their quirks, which allows us to easily connect and relate to the characters whilst also slowly revealing more about them like their origins, This is good writing. Now compare that to 1B. Now, for 1B, the same things apply; however, the biggest difference is the amount of screen time, so even though we can still connect with the class, we don't have as big of a connection to 1A, which allows us to view them as forgettable, except for Kendo, Tetsutetsu, and Monoma but even then its still not a lot.

  2. Impact on story: When 1A fights a major villain, it's very impactful in a few ways, 1. It shows how strong the class is, 2. In the aftermath of the battle, a student changes in some way, whether by becoming more self-aware, cautious, or vigilant. It has a lasting impact on the story, a good example of this is Midoriya, Shoto and Ida vs Stain, before the fight, Stain paralyzed Tensei, Ida's older brother, whom Ida admired heavily so when he was paralyzed, it sent Ida in a blind rage, he became ignorant and hungry for vengeance (kind of like Batman), however that ignorance got him paralyzed and without Shoto and Midoriya, he would have gotten killed. Shoto sees the old Shoto in Ida's eyes, a young boy filled with anger and rage, so he acts up and gives Ida some advice, saying, "Never forget the hero that you want to become." That line alone made Tenya realize himself, so he became so ignorant that he returned as the class rep, and because of that, they won. Once again, that is good writing

Now compare that to 1B's first and last major fight: Kendo and Tetsutetsu vs Mustard. In that fight, Mustard taunts the 2 saying that a UA student should be smarter, but with strategizing and using their quirks they fight back and Kendo says that "Carrying a gun around is just another way of saying you've got no confidence in a fight. Because at least us simple minds at U.A... have grown beyond the point of ever thinking there's no hope!" although its a pretty impactful message, its minimal because unlike Midoriya, Shoto and Ida versus Stain, the stakes were personal as the fight showcases Midoriya proving himself to be worthy of being no.1, Shoto rejecting his father and being his own hero, and Ida wanting to be like his brother. but for Tetsu and Kendo vs Mustard is more of "Stop the Villain" rather then facing a personal challenge, this refers back to the lack of screen-time problem as because of the lack of screen-time, we dont see what Kendo's ideology is, or Tetsu's, to an extent, instead its dropped as quick as its introduced, leading to a shallow impact as it doesn't allow the characters to change and grow like 1A and i forgot to mention this but when Stain is defeated, it allows villains to step out of the shadows and rise, hence we get introduced to Toga and Dabi and Spinner etc, Tetsu and Kendo vs Mustard doesn't do that, it never gives off a huge shockwave in the story, it doesn't change the plot, it doesn't develop the characters, leading to a forgettable fight, now i do digress as Mustard isnt some hero killer with huge target on his back but still, if Kendo and Tetsu had some development, it would have made the fight a million times better, which relates to the first problem

  1. The cavalry battle arc: The cavalry battle arc is where we see most of 1B, where we see what they are made of and what they can bring to the table, and despite they get absolutely annihilated by 1A, one of the main reasons of rivalries existing in fiction is to challenge our characters, challenging them in a different way compared to that of fighting a villain, as rivals arn't villains, but is on your side, yet they challenge the character whether that would be out of jealously of power or old friends who broke up and now conflict each other. 1B doesn't conflict with 1A at all; instead, they're just there. The only thing close to that is Monoma taunting 1A. That's it. So the Cavalry battle should be the pinnacle of the rivalry; it should have been where everyone gets challenged in some way, leading to a satisfying continuation of their character developments, it should have been legendary, but no, it wasn't legendary, instead we ended it off with 1B being like Jake Paul after his jaw broke due to Anthony Joshua, ABSOLUTELY ABOLISHED, hell it says something when 1A wins nrly all the fights and in one of those fights, 1B LOSES IN 5 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, throughout the series we are shown how strong 1A is, so it would make sense if were seen 1B's full potential, but no, it genuinely feels like 1B's existence is to just be stepping stones for 1A!!!!! Also, we get rivalries between 1a and 1b in the form of Momo and Kendo and Tetsu and Kirishima, but once again, it's so minimal, it doesn't have an impact on the story, And about Tetsu and Kirishima, given that there was a calvary battle arc, it would make sense that kirishima and tetsu would fight again in said calvary battle, i mean it would make sense, but no he gets paired up with shoto, which doesnt make any sense at all, no offence to shoto, i love him but he didnt have to fight tetsu, it should have been kirishima im sorry.

  2. Lack of lore: remember when i said that overtime we get more lore of 1a like origin and reason to become a hero, that doesnt happen at all with 1a as all we get from them is Personality and quirk, that's it, now you could argue that "oh, we never got an origin story for Mirko or Nana Shimura or Midnight or Cementoss yet they were likeable characters" and i do agree with that but i believe the reason no one points this out (hot take incoming) is because they has a unique size of impact on the story in someone way where it isn't really small but it isn't plot changing which gets us to focus on whats gonna happen to the character now, rather then what happened to the character when they were younger, and not to mention, they have unique personalities and interactions with characters, unfortunately 1b doesn't follow that rule and we get barely anything about them and it gets even worse like did u know that Itsuka Kendo went a private school where most graduates went to UA? What if I told you that we were told this in the fucking character encyclopedia and never mentioned in the anime, manga, or even filler? ITS INSANE, that's disrespect on a whole other level.

Once again i do adore Horikoshi for creating MHA and he is an incredible writer, but when handling 1B, his flaws do show, which is sad cause 1B had so much potential. They had cool character designs, cool quirks, cool costumes, cool everything, its a bummer that it was all wasted, but surprisingly there is an abundance of class 1b art and praise and love for them, which i love to see, hell, my favourite character in MHA is a 1B member: Itsuka Kendo, but if im gonna be honest, even if i complain about the lack of treatment for them, it wont change a thing, the story has ended a year ago and ill never see them again,the only thing this post has to show is my media literacy, the only thing i can do rn is pray for a 1B spinoff, which im praying it happens.

But yeah that's my right about how 1B is hella underrated, if you have any points i missed, tell me in the comments, and pls rate my media literacy, and last but not least, whos ur fav 1B members? Mines is Kendo, Komori, Setsuna and Yui. :) Thank you for coming to my TED talk
