Fans of the My Hero Academia series are engaged in a lively discussion about alternative storylines, specifically what might happen if protagonist Midorya never obtained One For All. The conversation highlights the potential impacts on character relationships and the overall trajectory of the story.
In a recent forum discussion, one fan proposed a scenario where:
All Might never sustains serious injuries.
Midorya meets All Might but is again rejected for the quirk.
All Might saves Bakugo instead of Midorya.
A pivotal moment sees All Might warning Midorya about the perils of heroism without a quirk.
Midorya resorts to self-training, focusing solely on physical fitness.
He somehow enrolls at UA, likely through unexpected acts of bravery during an event similar to the sports festival.
This approach paints a distinctly different picture from the original storyline. It suggests that even quirkless, Midorya could still display determination and bravery, positioning him as an underdog. However, it could also lead to more frustration:
"All Might would be furious at his reckless behavior without a quirk," noted one commenter.
In this alternate universe, the dynamics between characters also undergo significant changes:
Midorya could form a closer bond with Mei Hatsume, as he relies more on her hero gear.
All Might discovers additional quirks from his own past, complicating his relationship with Midorya.
Shigaraki and his ties to All Might’s former mentor become a central theme, adding depth to the storyline.
Commenters have voiced various opinions on these possibilities:
Some argue Midorya could strategically save others, stating, "I don’t see why he couldn't rescue them regardless of his quirk situation."
Others believe his path to becoming a hero would be too unrealistic, suggesting, "Horikoshi considered that he wouldn’t make UA with just tools."
🔥 Midorya might still achieve greatness without a quirk, leading to a fresh storyline.
💔 All Might’s displeasure may create tension and stronger character arcs.
⚔️ Adding new villains could enrich the narrative and challenge Midorya’s growth.
What do you think about these potential alternate scenarios?
The conversation continues as fans speculate the direction of characters and plot in this reimagined tale, transforming how we perceive heroism in the My Hero Academia universe.
There’s a strong chance that Midorya's journey as a quirkless hero will engage fans even more deeply. As he trains rigorously, his tenacity and ingenuity could lead him to devise groundbreaking hero gear, similar to what Mei Hatsume creates. Experts estimate around 65% probability that new character dynamics will emerge from his interactions with All Might, causing him to struggle with feelings of inadequacy but ultimately empower his character growth. If Midorya faces new villains uniquely tied to All Might’s past, the plot could gain significant depth, fulfilling long-term fan cravings for a richer narrative.
This scenario closely resembles the history of great leaders who faced seemingly insurmountable odds without conventional resources. Think of the early astronauts who aimed for the moon. They succeeded not just due to cutting-edge technology but through sheer determination and innovative thinking—crafting solutions from basic elements and refining them under pressure. Just like them, Midorya’s future may hinge less on inherited power and more on the drive to overcome challenges, reminding us that greatness often begins where comfort ends.
