Denki Kaminari; one of the characters in Boku no hero academia. He was not showcased much in the show outside of throwing a joke or two, and acting brain dead when using his power. Denki had one move; indiscriminate shocking. That was it, who has that as their one move and gets in 1-A? I took a look at the time and saw it was five minutes to eight. I took a look at these thunderbolt PJ’s and immediately took them off. I had a slightly different style than the original Denki; wherever he was.
I put on some jeans, a black T-shirt with a lightning bolt down the center ‘Man this kid sure liked the lightning imagery’ and black jacket. I like dark colors, sue me. I slowly open my door to see a mostly empty single bedroom apartment. I was confused yet sad again. ‘Where are Denki’s…? Oh… I can guess from all this sadness. I really am all alone in the truest sense of the word. Both body and soul have nobody that knows either.’
I thought I already cried everything out, but I was proven wrong. Combination of two soul’s grief cannot be gone in one day I guess. I was depressed. I didn’t want to do anything; I wanted to wallow in self pity, but I couldn’t. For me, once I run out of tears I can no longer grieve, not that I don’t want to. However I can no longer focus on all of my sadness without the tears to go with it.
‘How could this kid five years younger than my age deal with the trauma of losing both parents, but manage to be the most happy-go-lucky in the class? Probably the same way I’m gonna deal with my grief; ignore it for other things to think about.’ Although I couldn’t rule out him short circuiting himself to dumb down his grief, and now that I was thinking about it. ‘Your young and come with a way of forgetting/ dumbing down yourself to get rid of your sadness. It’s a tempting offer if I’m being honest, but I refuse to forget those of my world. I will not forget the good, to make the sadness of it being gone, lessen. This grief is proof of my existence.’
With some new determination I decide to look over the apartment for any clues of money for food, and rent. After a bit of digging through my stockpile of mail, I have figured out that both Denki’s parents died a little over a month ago. They had a health insurance policy taken out for quite a bit of money, however most of it could not be touched until Denki was an adult. The money that could be spent was a monthly budget that was automatically sent for the rent, and the rest was given to Denki for food/other things.
“I have to say, it is strange that they trust a kid not to blow all his money without a guardian. I guess some things about this universe don’t abide by the same rules I have lived in.” ‘I had a good amount of cash, so I didn’t have to worry about food, or shelter. That leaves the future, I guess that means going to UA Highschool. Because what kid didn’t dream of being a hero when they grew up. I lost that before I came here, but maybe this body’s subconscious is affecting me for the fact that when I think about being a hero my heart starts to race with a smile creeping up on my face.
Dude Idk what it is, but I feel potential from this already. Maybe because he doesn’t have cheats, and has to be smart about it? I’ll see how it goes obvs but aside from some very slight melodrama, the beginning has a good vibe that I can’t explain, and I personally don’t fault the get-straight-to-it kind of start
I know what you mean, my all time favorite characters have always been those that become OP without cheats...
Unlike the original kaminari, you can actually get SUPER creative at using his quirk. Like launching a coin beyond the speed of sound like Misaka Mikoto, or like Enel from One Piece
Kaminari also has a normal shock you know? His full out is just him releasing it all at once, but then it's dangerous to other people as we saw against the villains in USJ.
Dumbing yourself down for forget pain? Thats not a very persona 3 burn my dread attitude...
Blob Neutral
maybe this guy is the son of zeus?
I like stories in which the potential comes from having an outside perspective. Characters in light novels, manga, anime, comics, and whatever else often neglect their potential due to writers not being perfect and therefore not able to think of everything and focusing on the main characters they care about (Even then often neglecting many of those). This character, for example, has a lot of potential with his quirk.
For example, the Raikage's Lightning Armor. With this kid.
TINY! THAT'S U!
For some reason i didn't understand. Then i looked at your account name and now i Understand.
Yo making him an orphan is kinda weird id...
Oi...kaminari's parents are still alive, they're not mentioned but they're there
Nah, it literally stated that they died second to last paragraph
Yea I had to change that for the story. I never saw them in the show, so I thought about having his parents be dead in the story
