I was just hit with the idea of Thanos' Decimation happening in My Hero Academia. · 5:30am Oct 22nd, 2019
Just imagine it: everyone's walking out of class one day, streaming out of UA high school, when all of a sudden the first person, Koda, turns to dust. Then, like a silent wave, more and more get dusted, punctuated with growing horrified screams from the living. The students are frozen in place, not knowing if they're going to be a victim.
Kirishima suddenly holds on tightly to Bakugo's arm, pleasing and begging him to be a tether to reality as the hardening student, trying desperately to harden to prevent his fate, is quietly whisked away in the wind. Bakugo is speechless for once, shocked and even afraid.
Sero and Aoyama give each other shocked looks as both of them crumble away. Iida is unsure of where to go, what do do, so instead of rocketing off, he stands in horrified awe as around him, Sato, Mineta, Ojiro, and Ashido disintegrate. Jiro hugs Momo Yaoyorozu tightly and whimpers as she gets dusted, leaving her dust crumbling through the stunned Momo's fingers.
But the worst is a cry of pain as Uraraka stumbles into Midoriya and clutches him, sobbing and begging not to go, even as bits of her fly off like a decaying corpse. As she collapses, taking Midoriya with her, she gazes into his eyes, both sets welling up with tears, and manages to whisper the hoarse words "I love y..." before crumbling away and blown off in the hot wind.
The survivors manage to regroup around the mourning, wailing Midoriya, their hearts stricken with grief. And elsewhere, the dust of millions more will settle.
Oof that pulls on some heartstrings.
That tugged at my heart
.
I take so much comfort in the fact that something like that likely won't happen in the series.
