If there was ever a character I think deserves to know about the whole “Izuku was quirkless before all for one” I think it would be Shinsou. I don’t know where the manga is going with this line of thought but If shinsou gets his life changing field trip with Izuku, I really like them to go more in depth about their experiences as child both as someone with a “weak/”evil” quirk and one without one. Because I think it be fun to explore and satisfying
I
think so too. During their fight, Izuku was really moved by Shinsou’s
words and you could tell he was dying to talk to him.
Had it not been
during a fight, Izuku would have probably let it slip or at least
suggest he was the same, kinda like with Bakugou, because he can’t
watch people being hurt and do nothing about it. Bakugou thought
Izuku lied to him his whole life and fooled him because he ‘looked
down on him’; Izuku at first didn’t really saw it because he had no
reason to think Bakugou would think of him in that way, but could
feel Bakugou’s apprehension and decided to talk to him. In the same way,
he talked to Todoroki and let information slip because Izuku’s too
honest and can’t lie straight in the face of someone pouring his
heart out in front of him. Izuku felt Shinsou’s distress, and was
really holding back because he really wanted to help Shinsou, that’s
in his nature, that was his ‘urge to save’. He wanted to help him and
find a way to heal him mentally and emotionally speaking, and actually took time to take a step forward to talk to him.
Shinsou now has friends who support him, but
finding someone you can relate to and share your experience with when
you’ve been hurt by how others treated you unfairly is
life-changing. It makes you feel you’re not the only one, you’re not
facing those hardships alone and someone can actually really
understand what you’ve been through. It’s incredibly healing and
comforting, and I do hope Izuku and Shinsou will eventually come to
talk about it. Shinsou is someone who’s very reliable; he has this
incredible quirk that could give him access to absolutely everything,
but he decided to use it fairly to do heroic things. He didn’t take
the easy way, because not only his quirk isn’t adapted to what UA
hero course expects, but also because he’ll face a lot of prejudices because of his ‘evil quirk’ and will be told by people he can’t be trust when he didn’t do
anything in the first place other than aiming be a hero because that’s what he long to be.
For
him to stay true to who he is and stick to his convictions without
going astray like he does mean he has high morals and a strong sense
of justice where power isn’t to be used so you can take advantages of
others. In that sense, he’s very similar to Izuku, and I believe they
could be friends and very dear to each other. It’s kinda noticeable that Shinsou’s already fond of Izuku.
It wouldn’t be
unexpected at all for them to become close, and it would indeed be
very interesting in regards to the plot and character development, and also endearing for all the reasons I wrote above. It
would be moving to see Shinsou and Izuku share their experiences and support each other whenever they would admit it was really
hard and painful. Izuku and Shinsou couldn’t do anything but accept painful words and wrong assumptions, waiting for the day they could prove to everyone else how wrong they were to treat them how they did. They’re both moving forward, but their past are an
important part of who they are. Izuku especially can’t talk about his past for obvious reasons, but he and Shinsou would probably be unwilling to talk about their past with most people because what could they give them apart from sympathy? People fitting in because they have good quirks didn’t have to live what they’ve been through, so maybe they’ll be compassionate, but they
won’t understand. Izuku and Shinsou won’t see that light of understanding in anyone else’s eyes, like they could with each other because they can relate with what they’ve really been
through, and how painful it was because they know. From the little interactions
we’ve seen of them later, when they cross path and Shinsou’s with Aizawa, it’s hinted that Shinsou will take part of
Izuku’s life later. I sure hope Hori will explore their
relationship because Shinsou and Izuku are unique to each other and
would really benefit for being close friends, as there’s no way
they won’t be close if they ever come to talk honestly about
themselves given the chemistry going on between them.
