Edgeshot is also completly fine and seem like he still does hero work considering his clothing. He changed his normal mask to an oni mask i belivie and his old Hannya mask is changed to one that look more like a cow looking one and he got two. And beast jeanist is wearing a croped verison of his old top which seem more right to me

(Sketch Log - Week 45)

notes; I do not remember writing most of this LMFAO, but I suppose I might aswell post it. RIP Seiji’s dad you will NOT be missed, especially by me. Not proofread sorry .

summary: comforting shishikura after his father’s passing.

your feet pitter patter on the ground, splashing the clear puddles as you run. You run. Without stopping, quick as you possibly can. Rain is pelting down onto the ground beneath drenching your hair and your clothes, how fitting for the occasion. Your knuckles wrap before frantically knocking on the door of the Shishikura estate. You’re impatient, desperate. Knock, knock, knock. It’s silent for a few minutes, but you relent knocking again.

mid-knock the door swings open, revealing the eldest Shishikura son. His face devoid of his usual pride. The muscles on his face are relaxed from exhaustion revealing more of his dark pupils. He looks dejected, tired. Too tired to hold his usual hard dignified expression.

“i came as soon as I heard.” You say, panting. your hair is wet, clothes drenched in the rain.

You wonder if he’s been crying, but even after knowing him after all this time even you don’t know how he would deal with grief. Especially the grief of losing his father.

He steps aside, letting your dripping form inside. “you really are irresponsible, running in this weather with no umbrella. You could catch a cold, have some sense.” His words lack the usual dictatorial attitude. He seems more genuine, more calm. He makes no move to acknowledge why you’re actually here. He choses to ignore it.

His father was certainly not a good man, nor a good father. His morals were.. questionable, but shishikura looked up to him nonetheless. Even going as far as choosing a school that replicated his father’s work uniform. You couldn’t even start to imagine the raging war inside him. A part of you was upset about the man too, but you were more worried about Seiji.

“Seiji-“ you start before he cuts you off abruptly, as he gives you a towel to dry yourself, “Don’t, please.” He takes a breath, “My father, died with honour and dignity. Yet, I want to slaughter the man who did this to him. My blood is so hot with anger, I can’t even grieve.”

You shake your head, drying yourself, “you know you can’t give into spite and hatred, you’d be giving him what he wants.” Your hands reach out for his, before softly pulling him into an embrace. Your soaking clothes drip onto the floor, some of the water seeping onto his own shirt, any other day Shishikura would’ve pushed you away, scolding you for getting him dirty and how you appearance doesn’t reflect how the qualities of a Shiketsu student but today he’s given up. Today, he doesn’t relent. the one person he can truly say he loved is gone. so he’ll take it. He’ll take any comfort given to him.

If we look at Seiji Shishikura’s “more than meets the eye” factor, the case is that—while at first glance he comes across as a rigid, pompous elitist—there are deeper psychological layers and contradictions that complicate him:

1. Surface Persona vs. Hidden Motivations

Surface: He’s obsessed with dignity, tradition, and “weeding out” heroes he deems unworthy. He talks like an old-fashioned noble, keeps impeccable posture, and holds Shiketsu High’s ideals like sacred scripture.

Underneath: Some of this is a coping mechanism tied to his upbringing and personal loss—his father was a Tartarus guard murdered by All For One. His need for order and propriety may stem from a desire to protect the image and stability of hero society after personal chaos.

2. Moral Rigidity vs. Emotional Complexity

His rigidity leads him to antagonize and insult others (Bakugo, Kaminari, Camie), which makes him seem judgmental and arrogant.

Yet, he’s capable of empathy—showing concern for Camie after the Toga impersonation, saving Hawks in the Final War, and choosing not to give in to revenge despite wanting to kill All For One for his father’s death.

3. Idealism vs. Blind Spots

Seiji claims to act “for the good of the hero system,” but fails to self-reflect. Teachers and peers see Stain’s influence on his views, but he denies it outright—showing a blind spot about how ideology can creep in subconsciously.

His failure in the Provisional License Exam was as much about his unwillingness to adapt and collaborate as it was about skill.

4. Tactical Brilliance vs. Strategic Shortcomings

In battle, he’s clever and dangerous, using his Meatball quirk in creative ways for offense, defense, and crowd control.

However, his focus on “teaching lessons” rather than winning or advancing the mission sometimes undermines him—like prioritizing punishing “unworthy” students over passing the exam.

5. Reputation vs. Reality

To outsiders, he’s the “stiff Shiketsu senpai” obsessed with propriety. But in the Final War, he proves adaptable, cooperative, and capable of self-restraint, showing that the pompous exterior hides a disciplined and reliable combatant in the right circumstances.

My shading is so level 1,, but its ok, i am learning 💔💔
