One of the key themes could be the struggle between good and evil, much like in the original My Hero Academia. In fanfiction, 'Blood and Water' might represent different loyalties or lineages within the story. It could also explore themes of friendship and rivalry, as characters with different 'blood' (heritage or power origins) and 'water' (perhaps emotions or a fluid, changing nature) interact.
The theme of identity might be central. In the context of My Hero Academia, characters often grapple with their identities as heroes or villains, and in this fanfiction, 'blood and water' could add another layer to that. For example, a character's 'blood' could tie them to a certain group or family with a reputation, while the 'water' represents their own individual choices and how they can either flow with or against the expectations set by their 'blood'.
Another possible theme is sacrifice. 'Blood' can symbolize the ties that bind a character to something, like a family or a cause. 'Water' might then represent the cleansing or renewal that can come from sacrifice. A character might have to sacrifice something related to their 'blood' (such as family loyalty) for the greater good, which is like the purifying and life - giving aspect of 'water' in the story.
In the fanfiction, 'blood' could also mean the relationships characters are born into. Let's say a character is related to a villain by 'blood'. This could create an internal conflict as they try to navigate their own path. The 'water' here could be the influence of their friends (like the flowing and connecting nature of water). Their friends could be the 'water' that helps them break free from the negative connotations of their 'villainous blood' and strive to be a hero instead.
Overcoming adversity is also a major theme. In the My Hero Academia world, Izuku already faces a lot of challenges as a regular character. As a trans boy, he has additional hurdles like discrimination or lack of understanding. Fanfics may show him fighting against those who oppose his identity or dealing with the emotional toll of not being fully recognized. And then there's the theme of identity affirmation. Izuku has to constantly affirm his identity as a boy and a hero in these fanfictions.
One popular theme is alternate universes. Writers like to explore what would happen if the characters were in different situations, like if All Might was a villain instead of a hero. It gives a whole new perspective on the characters and their relationships.
Another common theme is the idea of a different perspective. Fanfictions may show events from the Hero Killer's point of view, which is different from the typical hero - centered view in the original series. This can make readers see the world of My Hero Academia in a new light, understanding the frustrations and reasons that led the Hero Killer to do what he did. It can also create more complex relationships between characters as they start to understand each other's motives better.
Well, without actually reading it, it's hard to say exactly. But generally, in My Hero Academia fanfictions, 'thicker than blood' might refer to strong bonds, perhaps between characters that are like family, closer than biological relations. It could be about friendships that endure great hardships in the MHA universe.
I don't know for sure as I haven't read it. But it could be the main characters from the My Hero Academia series like Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, or Ochaco Uraraka. Maybe it focuses on a lesser - known character and their relationship with a more prominent one.
A common theme is the exploration of power. Since both universes have characters with unique abilities, fanfictions often delve into how these powers are used, abused, or developed further.
One common theme is the exploration of Stain's sense of justice. Since he has a very distinct view on what makes a true hero, fanfictions often delve into this concept, comparing it with the more mainstream ideas of heroism in the 'boku no hero academia' universe.
One common theme is friendship. Just like in the original series, the pets and their owners or the pets among themselves form strong bonds of friendship. For example, a dog might be extremely loyal to its hero owner and help them in times of need.
One common theme is redemption. Since Garou is often portrayed as an anti - hero or a villain, many fanfictions explore his path towards redemption. Another theme is power struggle. Given the power - filled world of My Hero Academia, fanfictions often deal with how Garou's power relates to that of the heroes and villains.
