#eight bullets

Ik the manga and anime were both super inconsistent with all their heights, but I tried my best to decide what would fit best based on comparing their general sizes to each other and canonical heights of other characters. Also I switch between centimeters and inches/feet a lot

My main reference point for a lot of these are the two group photos

Long post underneath with a lot of pics

Bratty Sub | Phone Sex

Content Warnings: Phone sex, Bratty Reader, Dom Hari, Sexting

Word Count: 1,334

Summary:

Having Hari away from you doing various tasks for the Hassaikai had you feeling needy and bored. Why not send him something to convince him to come home early. Only you couldn’t wait on him to get back and he’s not particularly happy when you don’t listen very well.

(I would've thought I did a quirkless reader for him before but I'm admittedly too lazy to check my HIGHLY OUTDATED masterlist so fuck it. Let's do it anyway! Also, I hope it's fine I'm leaving the reader kinda open ended as usual so everyone can kinda insert themselves into this better. Thank you for the request and the chance at writing more Kai content!)

(sidenote: I really need to update that masterlist but every time I try it's nearly impossible. I let it get too far behind, send help ahhhhhhh)

~Kai's Quirkless Reader & the Hassaikai~

headcanon|scenario|imagine|match-up

-Quirkless? Not that much of a shocker he'd fall for you. The boss being in a relationship? THAT is the shocker everyone hasn't managed to let go of just yet. In fact, most of his inner circle thinks he's holding you hostage while the other half wonders how you could've ever fallen for someone as rough as Overhaul in the first place. Did he even know how to date someone? Overhaul doing gentleman shit? Overhaul possibly kissing you one day or holding hands? Overhaul being in the same vicinity as someone else for longer than a few hours? There was a slew of gossiping he couldn't really shut down (or intimidate out of the men) for a very long time. He was trying to at least get it out of control before bringing you around to meet everyone for the first time.

-He took the time you introduce you considering he would have some of the members of the Hassaikai be your personal bodyguards or escorts when he couldn't join you out. Aside from this, he didn't really want you interacting with anyone else than himself. You were headstrong (or stubborn as he'd put it) and wanted on your own to develop meaningful relationships with his main group. Where he saw workers, you saw his friends despite him never calling them that. You wanted to be as important to them as he was. None of the men really complained since you were a breath of fresh air compared to Kai. With the help of Pops preventing Kai from killing the guys, you were able to try and get to know each of them.

-Hojo thought of you as a little sibling almost, no matter what your age is. You could literally be older than him and he'd still try to treat you like a little sister/brother/sibling. It was odd, but you didn't seem to mind how careful he was or protective nonetheless. Setsuno was a lot more careful with you since he didn't want to end up like mince meat. Had you not pushed hard for him to come out of his shell, you never would've learned all the wonderful parts of his personality aside from being a legitimate gang member. Tabe was more or less clingy to your kindness. This is especially true if you end up trying to greet him with something to eat. He adores you now.

-Rappa was actually pretty taken with you from the moment he met you. Someone brave enough to go against Overjerk's rules and do what they wanted regardless of the outcome? Oh yeah, he thinks that's fucking awesome of you. Tengai is more careful about guarding your feelings and still doesn't greet you by your first name even to this day. He also spends a lot of time scolding Rappa when he's around you since he's worried the big lug will offend you somehow.

-Nemoto has been and always will be the absolute most respectful with you. He greets you with the utmost proper manners and tries to make sure you have everything you might ever need whenever he's on duty for you. You've been trying for a long time to break down his walls and get him to chill out more but I doubt that'll happen anytime soon. Deidoro fucking loves you and loves even more the fact that he can be as crazy around you as he wants to be...well, as long as Nemoto isn't there to stop him from having that fun. You don't mind it. The man is a hoot!

-Chrono has become somewhat of a close friend to you. He knows when to let his guard down and relax ever now and then. Don't get me wrong, he still respects Overhaul very much as both a friend and a leader! It's just that when he's out with you, he's not gonna say no to putting a dollar in a prize machine and trying to win an IPAD with you. If you could chose anyone to hang out with for a day, it usually ends up being Chrono. It makes sense that Kai has gotten jealous a time or two of you relationship together. Mimic on the other hand...he doesn't worry as much with you two being together. In fact, your first impression of Mimic was that someone must've been pulling a prank on you. There's no way this beanie baby can turn into a full grown man on command. Mimic thought you weren't real when he met you too either. "How much did the boss pay for you to pretend to be his partner?"

Ryukyu Squad: Fixing Their Overhaul Contributions

With the manga ending, and another wave of motivation hitting me, something that bugged me was how it felt like the Ryukyu Squad could have been developed further in the Overhaul arc than what has been shown, especially concerning Nejire and her backstory! 

Honestly, for me, the best way to do this is to essentially just give Ochako and Tsu their own fights, while Nejire and Ryukyu handle Katsukame (Mosquito Bane Guy). But who should they fight? Well, that's also pretty easy to answer. Instead of Mirio taking on Nemoto and Sakaki, and nothing much really being done with either, it's the girls who strive to fight them instead while Mirio runs after Overhaul. 

TsuChako vs Heart N Mind Yakuza

Okay, so with it being a two on two, what's the story to be told here? The theme here is Logic and Emotions against those that warp it. 

For Tsu's case, she represents Logic and following protocol with her opponent being Sakaki, whose power messes with a person's equilibrium. Also helps that both can fight on the ceiling~ As for Ochaco, she  represents Emotion and faces Nemoto, who uses others' secrets and feelings to stumble them and make it a close range against mid range fight…

However, both prove to be a troubling challenge. Tsu can't wrangle Sakaki due to his drunken style taking her down from the ceiling and it doesn't help he's spitting vitriol at her for trying to scold him for being a Villain. In this version, my story for Sakaki is that he did try to be an upstanding salary man. However, due to quirk discrimination, he was always considered to be a liability and couldn't find anywhere that would accept him beyond the Yakuza. Makes him match more with Nemoto whose own Quirk has him isolated and hardened his heart to become a con artist. 

As for Nemoto, with his Quirk, he has Ochaco blurt out her crush on Deku, in addition to rattling out her insecurities concerning bottling up her feelings in order to become an effective Hero. Something that has Nemoto scorn her…and someway sympathize? After all, he was also doing this for someone he loves as well, but feels if one can't get even their own feelings in order for the greater picture, then what business do they have being by their special someone's side?

Ultimately, with their approaches not working, both girls opt to do the next best thing - switch opponents. If they can't make headway down a certain path just yet, then best to allow their friend, someone whose more experienced in that Style, to do so instead, right?

With Sakaki, Ochaco’s training allows her to resist Sloshed 's effects, and get in close to him for some Gunhead Martial Arts. In addition, she's able to empathize with his attempts at trying, at one point, to be good and, to help build on her thinking of a solution to Toga in the finale, she offers to put in a good word with Aizawa and law enforcement to see what can be done to get him some fairer employment - after he serves his sentence, that is.

As for Tsu, there's no real deep secrets that really rattle her like Ochaco or Mirio. Even under the effects of Sloshed, she's as cool headed as ever and is able to avoid Nemoto’s shots. All while rattling Nemoto himself by pointing out the obvious of Overhaul choosing to leave the Bullets behind rather than trying to leave with them. Something that clearly betrays Nemoto’s insistence that he was different - in truth, he was just as replaceable to Overhaul like the others. Which has Nemoto freak out enough to be so vulnerable, Tsu is able to restrain and knock him out.

(Up until he's needed for Overhaul’s fight, but we don't need to go there XD)

Both girls are more aware of their weaknesses as Heroes, but thanks to the other, has an idea on how to improve. This can lead to Ochaco adopting the coolheaded approach against Monoma to Tsu's plea to Toga to listen to Ochaco in the finale.

Katsukame vs Ryukyu, Nejire, Nighteye Staff 

Now, for this rework, it's a bit more on the easier side since this is essentially a fleshing out of what the canon fight already set up. It'll be Nejire, Ryukyu, alongside Bubble Girl and Centipeder to take down Katsukame. I always felt that Nighteye’s staff deserved more in canon, so getting this for themselves would do just that.

The theme for this fight is that Katsukame kinda represents an aspect of Hero Society that the quartet detests. 

For Centipeder, who tries to wrangle the brute with his arms, Katsukame is a bigot that mocks him for being a ‘creepy bug’. A title that stuck with Centi for a long while until Nighteye gave him a chance to prove his worth.

For Bubble Girl, whose trying to blind him with her bubbles, Katsukame represents Society's love for flashy, powerful, Quirks, and whose is very much looking down on Bubble Girl for being a ‘weak broad’. A stigma she had to ensure until Nighteye, whose on Quirk isn't flashy, saw utility in her powers and help refine her to be a Hero.

For Ryukyu, Katsukame represents the critics she had to endure as a member of the Top Ten Heroes. Belittling Ryukyu’s form as being ‘too unappealing’ ’for a heroine, and she was bound to only wreck her surroundings than be a proper help, in spite of her record saying otherwise. Doubts and scorn that she is still fighting to this day. Opinions that she's trying to prevent happen to Nejire, who she felt was a kindred spirit in having people judge her unfairly.

Lastly, we have Nejire, whose the main star of the fight since her Quirk gives her enough energy to last longer than the others. Katsukame annoys her since she detests him for being so ignorant and content with his biases. (Well, that and him being a perv doesn't help) On top of that, his arrogance over his Quirk, peeves her off even more since Nejire, in this version, has her backstory revealed early in this fight. Meaning, she would have serious beef against someone who was actually looking down on people due to how strong his power was, yet was thriving (heck even boasting about his ‘Big Bro Overhaul) - contrasting her lonely background over what people assumed her personality was.

As such, all of this together makes for a quartet who wants nothing more than to prove this loudmouth wrong. Something that they succeed in, which leads into Toga directing them to Overhaul’s fight and continuing the story per normal.
