• Yes the friends are Inasa and Camie. Yes both of them decided to become villains because Shouto told them Katsuki had and invited them to follow.
• The group he’s infiltrating is not the league of villains. That’s important.
• Aizawa was the only teacher aware Katsuki was going on this mission. He said it was a bad idea from the start, so he just tiredly watched this disaster unfold.
• Class members that followed him (in order): 
• Shouto (literally just heard Katsuki say "I'm becoming a villain" and he was instantly on board. He didn't even need to ask any questions. He went straight from seeing that to packing his bags & texting his siblings to let them know the good news)
• Kirishima & Mina got the Bakusquad on board and they followed after Shouto. Sero was kinda aware that Katsuki hadn’t actually gone villain, because he has common sense, but he went along with it to keep an eye on them.
• Uraraka had already made up her mind to go after the Bakusquad left, but waited for Izuku to make up his mind. Izuku took about 12 hours after that to make sure that this was actually Katsuki acting out of his own free will before following him.
• Uraraka/Iida/Tsuyu went with him, and after hearing Izuku got on board with it, the rest of the class (minus the below) were gone within a few hours.
• Class members that did not follow him:
• Momo (guessed he was going undercover because she’s smart),
• Jirou (assumed he was going undercover because she has common sense, figured if it turned out to be legit she could act as a spy)
• Kouda (wanted to go, was too shy to)
• Shinsou (seriously debated it, but couldn’t bring himself to become a villain given his prior trauma or leave behind Aizawa/Mic/Eri)
• Obviously, this ruined Katsuki's infiltration effort because like 20 teenagers showed up wanting to also join this gang and he had to get them out of there in a huge clusterfuck.
• He was very disappointed in all of them.
• (and also maybe a little bit touched that so many of them trusted him enough to follow him on this awful path. the whole mission left a sour taste in his mouth & awoke old insecurities about always being seen as a villain. Even though he tried to act like it wasn't weighing on him, it was spurring on awful voices in the back of his head. At least until his morons showed up)
• The only good news to come out of the whole mess, is about 24 hours after Katsuki's mission has ‘gone wrong’ and he's pulled out, but before it's publicly revealed that it was a mission/fake, Shigaraki / the PLF came by to just fucking destroy the other gang because Shigaraki got jealous.
• Listen, Shigaraki did not arrange an entire team to kidnap that child just for him to finally decide he wants to be a villain ages later and then go join some other gang.
• Technically mission accomplished?

• Nemoto’s quirk is closer to brainwash than any other quirk we’ve seen, it requires him to speak and then allows him to force the other person to tell the truth. It could be a form of mind control depending on how you count it.
• Nemoto’s hair is kinda spiky/sprony, add that to Aizawa’s hair floating and you get Shinsou
• Assuming Nemoto was the one to actually have Shinsou, he was uninterested in raising a child so he gave Shinsou up and never told Aizawa about him. Aizawa is unaware he has a son as a result but still feels drawn towards Shinsou when he meets him.
• If Shinsou was aware he had villain parent somehow, like idk Nemoto bothered to fill out paperwork when giving him up and later the police asked if he’d had any contact, then Shinsou being associated with villains / hating that association makes even more sense.

• We push the ages ever so slightly for Aizawa and Shinsou. Nemoto has no canonical age, so he can be like 2 years old than Aizawa.
• Mic dragged Aizawa to a house party when they were teenagers, Nemoto happened to be there too.
• Nemoto is trans, but he had only just realized it at the time, and hadn’t decided on making a physical transition yet.
• Aizawa and Nemoto both got very drunk and ended up sleeping together. So drunk that the morning after, Aizawa barely even remembered it happened. They didn’t even wake up together.
• Nemoto never even got Aizawa’s name, let alone learned much about him.
• Cut to a few months later, Nemoto finds out he’s pregnant. He has to debate it for awhile, but can’t bring himself to terminate the baby. Still, he’s aware that he’s in absolutely no place to be a parent. He doesn’t want to be one either.
• He gives up Shinsou right after he’s born. He does fill out the paperwork, and he leaves his own name so if health issues or something come up, Shinsou could find him in the future. He gives Shinsou a brand new last name, with a note left behind telling him to make them his own.
• Nemoto never tries to contact Aizawa about any of this. He has no chance of finding him again, and since he doesn’t plan on keeping the kid, it shouldn’t matter.
• Shinsou grows up between orphanages and foster care. It gets a bit harder after his quirk develops, but only gets rough after Nemoto becomes a proper villain.
• Police come to talk to him, very suspect, asking who he’s had contact with and even watching him for periods before they finally determine Nemoto really did leave him behind and has no interest in him. Shinsou’s file gets big red warnings stamped on it and his options dwindle as a result.
• Even his teachers at school are given a warning about it, and while they’re supposed to keep it silent, few of them do. Shinsou becomes known as a villain kid, no matter how hard he tries. Nobody in any of his classes trust him or want to be near him.
• UA is the first school he attends where confidential shit is kept actually confidential. It’s a drastic change for him. The school is well aware that he has nothing to do with his birth parent, and they don’t let it change how they treat him.
• Shinsou asks Aizawa on their third day of training together if he knows about his villain heritage. Aizawa confirms that he does, but says it doesn’t mean anything. Shinsou is not guilty for having been born.
• After Nemoto is arrested, Shinsou finds he can breath easier. The warning on his file is lightened, and that means he might be able to switch out of his current foster home. It’s gotten easier since the dorms came around, but his situation still sucks.
• Around this same time, Aizawa has gotten licensed as a sort of foster parent so he could help take care of Eri. Since he’s got the license, and he’s talked it over with Mic, he decides to see about taking Shinsou on himself.
• Before he talks to Shinsou about it though, he wants to make sure it’s possible. The paperwork is fucking complicated, particularly considering that Aizawa and Mic are both pro-heroes which is a high risk career.
• During the middle of all this paperwork, Aizawa gets hit by a radiation quirk and as a result he needs a bone marrow transplant and he needs one pretty fast.
• His entire class, Shinsou include, jump to get themselves tested for donation (I know the limit is 18 but I’m pretending it’s 16 for Plot). Most of them won’t work, but Shinsou ends up being an amazing match.
• Aizawa reluctantly accepts Shinsou as his donor after he’s assured by several doctors that it’s a safe procedure for Shinsou and won’t put him at risk.
• The entire donation process, the two of them keep getting mistake for a parent and child by the doctors. It’s annoying to correct people, and neither of them is exactly sure why until one nurse bothers to explain.
• Turns out Aizawa & Shinsou aren’t just a good match, but their quirks are also heavily related. It’s good because that’s ideal for donors, but also strange since the two of them are insisting they’re unrelated. Quirk types matching up outside of family members is extremely rare.
• After Aizawa recovers, he and Shinsou are both somewhat curious about that. Shinsou admit he doesn’t know who his other parent was, Nemoto wrote that he had no memory of them, so it’s possible that the two of them are somehow related through an unknown cousin or something.
• They decided to take a DNA test to check, it takes a few days for the results to come in.
• Aizawa opens up the letter for the test he did more out of curiosity than anything else and sees the words ‘Biological father’ staring back at him.
• He goes through a lot of emotions in that moment. Confusion. Guilt. Feeling lied to. Disbelief.
• And then he remembers literally the only time he hooked up in his teenage years. A time point that would line up with Shinsou’s age.
• Mic walks in to find Aizawa staring at the letter blankly.
• “So? Are you two secret cousins or something?”
• Aizawa is silent for several more seconds before he finally speaks.
• “Well, the good news is the adoption process just got a whole lot easier.”

• Shouto is still nervous about using his fire at the start of the series. It’s because of Touya’s accident and because 4/5 of his family members are weak to fire.
• He talked to his dad about it, and Enji told him it was just fine if he wanted to only use his ice, or wait until he was more confident to use his fire.
• All of the Todorokis have training on how to fight, ranging from Shouto who spent his childhood following his dad like a duckling to learn everything there is to know about being a hero, to Natsuo who reluctantly learned self defense but that’s about it.
• Fuyumi & Touya both learned a lot about fighting and using their quirks in combat for the fun of it. Fuyumi is still a primary school teacher.
• Rei has to take trips to the hospital regularly due to various health issues. Her conditions are manageable, and she’s doing well, but the regular treatments are still important. 
• Enji refuses to talk about his wife, her trips to the hospital, or any of his children publicly (unless it’s a rather large event that happened publicly). This is because he cares about his family’s privacy. He refuses to let the media ruin that.
• The media spitefully assumes his secretiveness is because he has something to hide. But no, he just wants his family to live normal, safe lives.
• Touya is still figuring out what he wants to be and do with his life, and that’s all fine.
• One thing he does like to do is lean into the whole ‘omg he’s a villain!’ thing, since he thinks it’s funny.
• He regularly does work or volunteers as a villain actor for hero training exercises/tests. It’s a fun excuse for him to let his quirk run wild and get nice and dressed up, and since he knows a lot about hero training he’s able to give very effective feedback and set ups.
• He’s even got a fake villain name and backstory! He’s very professional!
• The unfortunate side effect of this, is often when villain recruiters like Giran are looking for fresh blood, they disguise their ads as looking for ‘villain actors’
• Touya has accidentally signed up for Real Villain Groups like 3 times now.
• Before he always figure it out early on, and just left, but when he joins the League of Villains thinking they’re a group of villain actors, he’d also heard from Shouto that he was doing a ‘training camp’ and grumbling about how the teachers like to pull surprises on them.
• What’s a better surprise than a fake kidnapping attempt?
• Shouto sees him towards the end and suddenly gets really confused about whether this is real or not, was this entire thing really just a test? It didn’t feel like a test?
• After determining this was not, in fact, a test, Shouto texts Fuyumi and asks her to yell at Touya for him.
• Fuyumi just calls him and is like “dude, that was Not a Fake Villain Group.”
• Honestly Touya was starting to get suspicious when they didn’t get feedback forms to fill out right away, but he wasn’t sure if the rescue was supposed to be a part of the activity too.
• He gets that call from Fuyumi and is just like “aw, fuck, not again.”
• Touya just,,,, takes Katsuki and leaves. Goes home. Calls his dad and is like “yeah, okay, sorry I thought this was a training thing again. they’re over here.”
• He assumes that will be the end of it. Unfortunately, most of the league of villains escapes and they’re still convinced he’s one of them and just being held hostage no matter how many times he tells them it was misunderstanding.
• Touya is so tired.
