So like… Arc V? Let’s do Arc-V.
Yusho and Leo were the biggest superheroes of the city. They’re like, Superman and Batman level.
Yusho’s identity was The Sky Magician. Leo was known as The Professor. (Charles Xavier shakes his bald head.)
Eventually The Professor begun to do suspicious shit. Yusho gets suspicious. He investigates his partner, followed The Professor one day, and never returned home. ):
Yuya grew up and, determined to find the truth behind his dad’s disappearance, took up the Sky Magician identity. Suddenly Sky Magician is back in the sky.
His identity was discovered by Reiji, CEO of Leo Corp. Cue panic.
So apparently Reiji is the son of The Professor. Anyway he’s like “my father is behind an underground crime syndicate.” He gives Yuya the option to work with him or back off for his own safety.
Yuya’s all “I wanna find dad.”
Yuya keep fighting crime in the daylight while Reiji investigate in the shadows and help protect him.
Eventually Reiji forms the Lancers, a collection of heroes and vigilantes to counter the crime syndicate.
Dennis is still the mole. Also he’s totally a Sky Magician wannabe. He’s actually one of the first to recognize that Yuya isn’t Yusho. (SHHHH the costume is really floofy so you can’t tell that Yuya is half Yusho’s size OKAY.)
SERENA THE HACKER. (Ex-criminal.)
Gongenzaka’s a police officer.
Shun’s like… this other ex-criminal that Reiji blackmailed into working for them. So is Sora. Sora’s originally part of the Syndicate, then later they captured him and he’s currently doing Community Service (I guess?) with Serena and Shun.
Yuzu got into this whole business to look out for Yuya isn’t that sweet.
So basically, Yuya, Yuzu, Sawatari and Dennis are the actual costume heroes. They’re there to sort of attract attention and make a statement to counter the Syndicate. All the rest are the behind-the-scene team, working mostly in the dark to investigate the Syndicate and also protect them.
Send an au and characters and I’ll give you headcanons.
