now that i think about it, kami's first talk with shinsou is Such a brilliant move from him, its kind of insane.
kaminari is the exact and worse thing shinsou hates and is jealous of about hero course. he doesnt care about being a hero out of noble reason, we actually dont know why he wants to be a hero.
in raw power, hes among the strongest. he has a literal textbook flashy quirk. in ultra analysis his personality is described as "all flashy, no substance".
he got top 16 in the sports festival, lost his first 1v1 and still got almost three hundred nominations. top 5 of his class. his most likely worked both his internships under a top 4 hero and definitely under all the lurkers, so at the time 2 of the top 10 pros. and we dont hear a word from him about it, probably because of how little he cared about it.
hes literally everything shinsou would hate.
except, after their first real conversation, shinsou is left with literal stars in his eyes.
and thats all to do with the absolute emotional/interpersonal genius of kaminari.
its almost clinical if you analyse it, the way kaminari checks Literally Every Box to raise himself in shinsou eyes.
he quickly accepts him as part of the team, he tells him he likes him, he acknowledges shinsous feelings and words and tells him hes already as much of a hero as the rest of them.
that one little monologue is literally every dream of acknowledgement shinsous ever had.
in that one interaction, based on shinsous two monologues about how he hates the type of person kaminari is from Literally Over Half A Year Prior and one monologue beforehand, kami pins and zeroes on shinsou every defense and dream, and tears down the walls shinsous put up and acknowledges and praises his ambition.
all while revealing nothing about himself.
kami could start a cult and bring down hero society in like half a year without using his quirk, actually
