Hello.
* If you have any questions about the Despicable Me character or anything, you can ask here. I won't explain the plot because that will be done in the chapters.
* What changes do you want in the canon, after the World Mission ends. Like the changes in events of canon. It is obvious that Shido made changes in the canon. So do suggest some.
* Any suggestions for Sakamoto's power.

* Recently I was thinking about the next GTA Mission and the story's ending. For GTA Mission, I already have everything planned out but not for the ending.
I was thinking of an ending and I came up with something. I scrapped that idea, but still decided to share it with you guys. It goes something like this --
_____________________
Shido gets trapped in a dimensional gap/dimension/ World after the final fight, where time runs really slow when compared to MHA World.
And when he comes out of it, He finds himself the same as he left but the System was not there anymore. He finds that everything he knew is now a ruin of time.
He goes to his home, where he finds some recordings. He plays them and finds that these were recordings left by Fuyumi, Himiko, and Eri. He plays the recording, and learns what happened after he 'left.'
After his supposed 'death,' Everybody thought he died. Everyone lost hope that he will return after entering that portal. But Fuyumi and the daughters were an exception, They still believed that Shido will come back because he promised her that he will come back, and they will live happily after that.
That's why she started recording these videos. Talking to the camera like she is talking to Shido. She recorded the videos on a daily basis, then weekly, then monthly, after that a video for a year. And each video was recorded on his birthday, where she will cut the cake for him.
She took care of Eri and Himiko as her own daughters and shifted the adoption from Shido to herself. She raised them well. Eri and Himiko also appeared in those recordings, saying how much they miss him. Himiko always held back her tears but sometimes she couldn't. Eri being the responsible elder sister, always supported Himiko.
Shido gets emotional after watching these recordings. So he starts searching for everyone that he knew. He found that all of his friends, team members are dead. Died of old age. But he found something else too which made him jump out of the chair and run of the old noodle shop.
Eri is in Hospital.
He arrives at the hospital, right in front of Eri's room. He tries to take a step in but he couldn't do it. He started feeling that, him meeting Eri after all this time, was not okay. Because he was in her life for only one year, and he left his responsibility as a father at a crucial time when she needed him the most.
After all this time, she might have forgotten about him and moved forward in her life. When he was about to turn around and leave, a nurse stopped him.
"Sir, Is your name Shido Kanzaki?"
"..Yes.."
"Eri-san is waiting for you... She has been waiting for a long time, just to meet you once."
"Me?"
"Yes... She always talks about how you saved the world and all other stuff. People tell me that she is crazy and I should stop talking to her when I am near her but even if she is crazy, I know she is a good person. So please meet her once before leaving."
Shido flinched when he heard that Eri still remembers him even after all these years.
So he gathered courage and went inside the room, but what he saw inside made him leave the room.
In there, he saw an old lady with white hair, attached to many thin pipes going around and connected to drips and machines. Shido's heart clenched when he saw his own daughter, looking like she was just about to die. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Papa~," A small voice came from the room. But Shido was overwhelmed that he didn't want to face her like this.
"Papa is that you?" The voice called again for Shido. Shido wipes his tears and enters the room.
"...Hey..."
"Is that really you?"
"Yeah... I came back, just as I promised."
"But you are late... Too late... I.. " Tears dripped down Eri's eyes. She tried to say something but couldn't say it.
Shido quickly went close to Eri's bed and took her hand in his own.
"I am here now... I am here..."
"But what's the point now? Himiko killed herself, Fuyumi-Nee Chan lived her whole life disillusioning herself that you will come back, and then she died. I... I waited... I waited... I also thought you will come back but my belief started thinning out. I started resenting you for leaving us behind... My resentment for you grew over the years.
But after Himiko committed suicide, my resentment towards you died that day, after I read the note she left for you...
Can you pick that Photo album for me?"
Shido picked up a photo album and gave it to Eri. Eri opened the album, and inside the album, a series of photos were there. All the photos had Shido, Himiko, Eri and Fuyumi in them. Pictures of their first outing in Amusement Park were also there. Shido recognized one of the pictures of Eri and Fuyumi. It was taken by him. A feeling of Nostalgia hit Shido.
Eri flipped the pages and picked out a piece of paper. She gave it to Shido. Shido started going through the note.
// Hey... I don't know if you are ever going to read this, I am just writing just for my sake, but even if you read this... I won't be there to be with you when you will be reading this.
You see... Life without you has been troubling and hard... Too hard. Too hard for me to handle...
After you left, I tried to be the best support for Mama, but she acted like she never needed it. She said you will come back, so I believed that you will come back. As the years passed by, my belief that you will come back never wavered. But things changed when I turned 11.
I started to see visions in my dreams, where I was ruthlessly killing people and drinking blood from their corpses, with pleasure. I was horrified at first, I thought I was mentally ill, So I registered for therapy. They said these were urges from my Quirk, and I should restrain them.
So I did. But when I turned 16. Everything became clear. I saw you turning me into a child, and all those killings were done by the past version of me. It was horrifying to see myself doing all that.
Guilt covered my mind. It became a normal thing for me to feel guilty. Feeling guilty for the killings that were done by the previous me. Feeling guilty for destroying families. Feeling guilty for not thanking you enough for saving me from that horrible way of life.
It was you who saved me. It was you who guided me to be a good person. Even if you were not there, I learned more about you from the stories Uncle Oguro, Danjuro-Nii, and Manami-Nee used to tell us, like How you saved America, Brazil, a whole lot of countries and then you saved the world.
At first, I always thought, why do you have to go? You could've stayed with us. Even if the world was ending, we could've died together, like a family. But now when I think again, I understand your thinking. You wanted to give us a good life, even if it takes your life.
But I cannot live this life anymore. I need you... Please... This guilt... is eating me from inside. Please come back... And take me out of this darkness, as you did back then.
I beg you... please..come back... just for once... //
Tears fell on the note as Shido completed reading the note. He had his head low.
"I thought of so many things, that I will do when I will see you again. Scold you, Beat you, Ignore you, and a whole list of things to say to you... but now that you are here, I cannot even think of one of them. But..."
"You are the last one... I can save you..." Shido's hand started fusing with Eri's hands. Eri started resisting the fusion with her quirk, by rewinding the fusion. But it couldn't completely subdue the fusion.
"No.. Don't.."
"{HESOYAM}*Rewind," Shido said the cheat to rewind Eri's age, but nothing happened.
"Rewind... Rewind... Rewind." Shido repeated the same word over and over again but nothing happened, then he realized the System is not with him anymore.
It was the first time he felt this powerless. He repeatedly said the same cheat again and again, in hopes that it will work, but it didn't.
"You are not saving anyone... you are just acting selfishly... I have lived my life... the time I spent with you was good memories... Only memories... I have lived my life, there were good and bad memories... I don't want to relive those memories again...I don't want to relive my life again. I have moved forward in my life... And you should too."
"But how? You are the only one left... How am I supposed to move on?"
"I don't know... You are free... You can live however you want now... And one last thing that I wanted to tell you... Even if I am still angry at you... I don't resent you anymore...
I forgive you... And thank you for saving me that day." Eri said in a gentle and low voice. She had a small smile on her face.
"Sorry... I am sorry... I am sorry..." Even if Eri said she forgive him, Shido still apologized by lowering his head, but there was no response from Eri. When Shido raised his head to look at Eri, he saw Eri looking at him with a gaze with no life in it. He shook her and called her for some time, but she didn't respond at all.
After some time Doctors came and declared Eri's death.
...
Shido was looking at Eri's funeral from a distance. He had no tears, no sad expression on his face. He was just looking at the funeral with a neutral face.
...
Shido was looking at the sunset, with the same neutral expression that he had during the funeral.
"You were waiting for me for your whole life huh? Why? You should have moved on too, Fuyumi? But you chose to live with that fake promise that I made before leaving. But since you have already waited for this much... You shouldn't wait anymore."
Saying that Shido jumped off the cliff with his eyes closed, and with a smile on his face.
When his body touched the ground, His smile didn't fade away. He was happy dying. He was happy about doing that.
He was not able to reunite with his family in the land of the living, so he will reunite with them in heaven. Shido was satisfied that he was at least able to do that. Fuyumi's years of wait, Himiko's plead for his return, Eri's anger for him not being there for them, all ended as the life faded away from his eyes.
He was smiling while lying in a pool of blood of his own.
And Like this,
The man who transmigrated in this world of quirks, heroes, and villains...
Ended his 'Serene' Life in Another World.
[ED - Space Song // Beach House]
Uhhh I'll be straight honest with you if you plan to write a ending anywhere similar to that please let me know now so I can leave now while I still enjoy your story I'd hate to be bitter about something I'd invested so much time enjoying I love happy endings too much to be happy with it
I already mentioned that it was a scrapped idea and there will be a happy ending.
I am glad that you are enjoying the fic and I am again assuring you that the real ending will be a happy one. But I will be sharing ideas that I had for the story which I think are good in general but not good for the story.
These scrapped ideas will give you an idea of multiple possibilities with the story and you even might enjoy those. These scrapped ideas won't be canon just like the *Prison Break* chapter that I published earlier. But it does explore many aspects that the MHA has as a world.
Thanks for reading!
@Gonshido * Any suggestions for Sakamoto's power: [Well, you could give him psychic or psyonich powers, while making him seem like a cat that got a Quirk that makes him super smart and allows him the ability to use telekinesis and Mind Linking with others]. There are many abilities, but I think that Sakamoto should continue to be a cat since him becoming human would lead to Eri developing feelings for him. And that’s bad because she is still relying on outside help to support Herself. Should she ever be alone again, her mind might not be strong enough to handle the future. Eri needs to grow up and become an independent woman since dependence on others is basically parasitism.
If you want to keep some of that ending, how about making it an illusion?
A bit before the final fight the final boss realizes that they will more than likely fail to defeat Shido. So they spend the weeks and/or months leading up to the fight preparing a trap in case they fail. This trap teleports Shido to a crack in space or maybe the nothingness outside of the instanced GTA areas? The big bad hopes this will trap Shido for eternity but doesn't expect it to. So they add another layer, an illusion that will activate the instant the space nearby is changed, and shows everyone trapped in it their greatest fear. In Shido's case, everyone he loves being dead and being powerless to stop it. Perhaps because of eating other systems along the way, Shido's system becomes more like an actual AI and is able to get through to Shido in scattered words, just enough to make Shido realize that things aren't as they seem.
I'm a sucker for endings like that, so I'd personally love it if you managed to make an ending like it work. As for changes in canon, how about AFO being returned to his peak with all the quirks he's stolen over the years? All Might wouldn't be able to beat him alone, and Night Slash would have to go all out, in the process being unmasked, at least partially. It could be explained by the big bad having control over certain laws, same as Shido.
I'm not sure if you're planning on doing any other crossovers after the Despicable Me arc, but if you are I'd love to see a reference or arc about Dark Souls.
I think that's everything I have ideas for. You're doing great Gonshido, I'm thoroughly enjoying every chapter.
Actually, you are quite close to the ending that I've thought of and there will be some foreshadowing about the Main Villain in this current arc and as you've guessed, he certainly has control over laws. I chose the Despicable Me arc because, in Despicable Me, there was this concept of being a Villain, and I wanted to explore the US of MHA world, So I thought why not just integrate both of them.
And the plot of Despicable Me is just a prelude, after this, there will be an original plot that I've thought of (took a long time to design the characters and the plot, I hope the readers will like it).
And are you a mind reader? coz I thought of using that AFO thing that you told earlier but I have changed that part now and It will be a bit different from what you told me.
So yeah, this will be it or If I started to talk about more, then I may give some spoilers.
And thanks for reading!
Ya.... that's going to have to be a no from me. So happy you scrapped it
Are Despicable Me characters quirkless?
No, They are not quirkless. You will find that out.
What if in this universe all minions are actually one human with a cloning quirk that has a side effect of turning him and all his clones into minions.
@prognastat Actually, I am planning to let Minions stay as homunculus as the Original ones. It makes it easier for me to explain the existence of Homunculus like Caos and Seira (Servants of [Law of Chaos] & [Law of Order] respectively and the sub holders of [Law of Space]).
Sorry but i really this kind of ending in happy stories.
So It's a big no for me.
This ending doesn't match this history really.
(This reminds me from the novel a monster that evolve, that ending almost f#ck up the whole history)
I like everything you are doing, but I'm sad to know you are planning to end the story. I wish that the story would go on longer, with the MC ending up traveling to every single GTA game in the series. And then going to the fable, mythical, out of reach, GTA 6.
...Damn it...
