Okay, so imagine this: all of Class 1-A, the teachers, even some of the villains, are suddenly plopped down in front of a giant screen. They’re about to watch… fanfiction. About themselves.
And the first clip? The infamous Izuku Midoriya versus Overhaul fight. But it’s not *exactly* how they remember it. Get ready for some chaos.
Initial Reactions: Shock and Awe
The room goes silent when the fight starts. Everyone is glued to the screen. Even Bakugo seems a little… stunned.
Of course, they all remember how brutal it was. Seeing Midoriya push himself beyond his limits, seeing Eri’s power…it's intense.
But then the fanfiction writer adds their own little twists. Maybe Eri's power manifests in a slightly different way. Maybe All Might gets a commentary box. Things get weird, fast.
Humor and Cringe: It's All Part of the Fun
Imagine Mineta offering "helpful" commentary. Imagine Aizawa's deadpan reactions to the increasingly bizarre scenarios. The reactions alone are worth the price of admission.
One fic has Midoriya accidentally activating a new power: Squirrel Communication. He starts strategizing with a family of squirrels during the fight, much to Overhaul's confusion and horror. Everyone *loses it* laughing.
Another changes Overhaul's motivations entirely. Instead of world domination, he just wants someone to appreciate his… immaculate cleaning skills. Shigaraki is beside himself.
The Emotional Rollercoaster
Despite the humor, there are moments of genuine emotion. Seeing different interpretations of Midoriya's resolve brings tears to some eyes.
One fic focuses heavily on Eri's perspective. Hearing her inner thoughts, her fear, and her growing hope, hits everyone hard. Even Bakugo seems a little choked up.
Another story explores the potential consequences of Midoriya pushing himself too far. The class grapples with the possibility of a future where he can't be a hero anymore.
Unexpected Bonds and Revelations
Seeing these different scenarios forces the characters to re-evaluate themselves and each other.
Bakugo, watching Midoriya fight with such unwavering determination, might gain a sliver of respect. Maybe even (gasp!) acknowledge him as a rival.
Shigaraki, forced to witness Overhaul's downfall, might have some uncomfortable thoughts about the League of Villains' own methods. Maybe he questions his beliefs.
The Aftermath: Changed Perspectives
The whole experience is a whirlwind. Laughter, tears, cringe, and genuine reflection.
It changes their perspective on the Midoriya vs. Overhaul fight, on themselves, and on each other.
They realize the power of fanfiction isn't just about wacky scenarios. It's about exploring possibilities, understanding different viewpoints, and ultimately, growing as people (and heroes, and even villains!).
"Well, that was… something," Aizawa probably mutters, already dreading the next viewing session.
But deep down, he's probably a little bit curious too.
