Whats up gamers…. I’m back with a new au….. now in bullet point form (u h o h)
A BNHA AU where despite the many successors of One For All, All For One is still in control of Japan, striking fear into people and leading the largest organization of the world. Essentially, the world is in shambles. Fights are always happening in streets, there are gangs under the influence of AFO that do his bidding in every corner of the country.
Essentially, AFO is still as powerful as he was the day he rose in name.
In recent developments and interest, AFO is still interested in the idea of Nomu. But he needs people in order to make the Nomu.
And he finds that quirkless people make very good vessels, but because of the generational evolution, the number of quirkless compared to quirked is still 20%
And because he is still a psycho, he makes a sick power play in which if you offer your quirkless child to them, he will reward you, full protection from his subordinates for the rest of your living days in his reign.
As you can guess, people fear the man more than for their own child
All except for Inko Midoriya
Inko Midoriya and Izuku Midoriya have always been on the run. The moment the news that AFO is in the city, they move. Inko loves Izuku too much to give him up.
They end up in the UA Hideout, a quiet, highly secure and protected area where people against AFO live, building up a repertoire of growing heroes that aim to take down villain organizations and reclaiming cities from AFO.
There, Izuku meets Bakugou and they start a friendship, Bakugou aiming to kick villain butt, and Izuku following him because Kacchan is so cool!
Bakugou is there to teach Izuku how to fight in case some asshole wants to use Izuku’s quirklessness, and Izuku, no matter how many times he’s taken down, gets up.
They meet the others of “Class 1A” as they grow up in the UA Hideout, and Izuku forms a quick friendship with them, alongside a reluctant Bakugou.
Fast forward years later, All Might, the 8th holder of One For All, who works solo and distances himself from UA Hideout to keep it safe, and to preserve his animosity, encounters AFO and has a death match.
Mind you, AFO has many backers from all over Japan to help him, so as All Might fights about a thousand villains alongside some heroes and then AFO, he manages to at least critically injure him, blowing his head off, but at the expense of himself.
Villains are chasing him and he’s at his limit, almost on the brink of death until a certain Izuku Midoriya (Now 15 years old) steps in and pulls him into a safe area.
All Might, expecting this to be his last breath, frantically just shoves a strand of hair at him and begs him to eat it. Saying its important and that Izuku has to trust him.
Izuku, bless his soul, is absolutely worried and terrified for the bleeding broken man and also, utterly confused, but in a state of panic, he accepts the hair and eats it.
Fortunately, Izuku had the right mind to call for help, and the UA heroes arrive, rescuing All Might in time, and he lives, but definitely reaching his limit before OFA dies within him.
However, All Might has now risked the security of the UA Hideout, weakened and too injured to leave UA, and now has put a child in a dangerous position, being entrusted One For All, and ending AFO and his tyranny.
As terrible as it is to put this on Izuku, All Might tells him, in front of his friends, Izuku’s mother and the heroes protecting UA, because he also needs to explain why the hell he was confronting Japan’s (And even the world’s) most dangerous villain and for the sake of Izuku’s protection.
Bakugou is the first to be livid, yelling at this skeleton for just, of all the people he could have chosen, forcing a quirkless kid, not even a hero in training, a very heavy burden that could kill Izuku before he could even make it to 20.
Izuku on the other hand, stops Bakugou from blowing All Might up. Despite the burden, and Izuku’s confusion and fears, he trusts All Might, and just like Bakugou and all the other heroes in UA, he wants to help to save people.
And so, Izuku Midoriya becomes the 9th successor to One For All, and the only person who can end the tyranny of AFO.
Some things about the world building. Because sources are limited (Seeing as AFO controls almost all of Japan’s Suppliers to fund his empire), hero costumes are practically simplified. Not everyone gets the best gear to help enhance their gear so they have to think outside the box. (Thus the bullet vests, regular clothing, e.t.c)
The UA Hideout encourages its inhabitants to help as much as possible. From people who can produce materials, to cooks, to support heroes making costumes, and so much more.
Of course, Nedzu is one of the many leaders helping in the growth of UA, and most prominently in charge of its heroes and missions.
Some parts of Japan are relatively left untouched by AFO, since so many people fear him or come to him. He only ever does take over said city if they pose a problem, or if he feels bored.
You can bet there’s gonna be a shit ton of angst. What do you expect? Kids being heroes to help save whatever they can and seeing things they should not have to, growing up having to worry if you might die, and then shit happens that you can’t stop? big yikes.
