MHA ACTOR AU HEADCANNONS

is it four in the morning? ya. do i haven requests i gotta get done? ya. will that stop me? no.

first of all, the main ensemble cast of MHA gets along so well, but what many people don’t know is that while filming the first few episodes the original casting choice for Aizawa had to drop the show entirely due to family issues. Thankfully Aizawa didn’t show up much in the first few episodes, so many of the shots he was in could easily be refilmed and edited in after they had recast the actor, which was stressful.

After the family issues subsided the man who was originally going to play Aizawa still got to feature on the show as Yokumiru Mera, aka the man who runs the provisionary licensing exams.

A lot of the student actors can relate and share some personality traits with their characters, however it is more of a challenge for more of the outlandish characters, such as Mineta, Iida, Bakugo, etc.

“With [Mineta], you have to wrap your sense of reality. You gotta have an open minded view, and find something, anything that you can relate to yourself. For example, when I was younger I often valued my self worth on the approval of others, and Mineta kinda does that too, in his own way.”

“I’ve always been the type of kid to bend the rules, so Iida admittedly came as a challenge. I always saw rules as limitations, where Iida sees them as guide lines for success, but even that world view begins to shift after the Stain Arc— which is probably my personal favorite arc, by the way—. He walks the fine line between comedic relief and a serious character, which is probably what I love most about him.”

“I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t the nicest kid in elementary. I bullied some kids. I’m not proud, but it definitely helped me in terms of figuring out just who Bakugo is. People put down others because they feel low themselves. They want to level the playing feild, make people feel like shit cause they feel like shit. Bakugo can come off as arrogant but he’s pretty insecure when you think about it. Pushing around Deku, calling his classmates extras or ‘creative’ nicknames, he does it not necessarily because he doubts his own ability, but because he’s scared that what he has to offer won’t end up being good enough. He’s powerful, sure, but is he most powerful?” “Do you think that keep him up at night.” “[Laughs] Maybe, I don’t know. He needs his beauty sleep though, so I hope not.”

The cast shares a bunch of inside jokes with one another, their personal favorite and longest running gag is the “Aizawa Smile”, which is basically the smike you made for your first grade picture day.

They’ll be shooting lines back and forth at one another and when someone blanks, they’ll slowly creep their mouth up into this horrendous smile

Iida and Mina do it the most, followed closely behind by Denki and Aoyama.

Speaking of Aoyama, he absolutely hates his utility belt

It’s so heavy!

And lowkey v itchy

not fun

Also, Aoyama wasn’t originally French, but after nonchalantly using french words in conversation, the creative team was like “this mans is onto something.”

The makeup process?

Awful

Mina and Koda have it worst, but Jiro and Hagakure don’t have much fun either.

While Hagakure doesn’t have to paint her body green, she does have to wear a giant body sock, which is equally, if not more annoying since breathing can be hard as shit to do in that thing.

“At first I thought her quirk was a thing she could turn on and off, ya know, like everyone else, but apparently not! I learned that the kard way...” “[Laughs] I still remember your face! ‘I gotta wear this for how long?!’” “[Stifling Laughter] Oh yeah, well I’d like to see you try. Let’s swag, I’m Ashido, you’re Hagakure.” “Oh, you’re on!!”

Sadly and for very obvious reasons they could not do that on show

However after countless begs to the coustume crew, they let Mina try on Hagakure’s body suit and do some typical action stunts in it.

Mina’s never complaining about the makeup again.

You can not breathe in that thing!

Todoroki’s scar is partially real, althought how he got it was completely different.

“Ok, this is embarrassing, so I was cooking with my mother when I was about 7 or 8, and we were boiling eggs. The phone rang, so she told me she’d be back and to watch the eggs. The eggs started to make some weird sounds so I tried to check up on the eggs, but since i was short, my way of checking was by tilting the put over. A good chuck of it actually splashed around my eye and not on it, but I guess it looks cooler with a full 1/4 of my face burnt. Sorry I didn’t get it right the first time [Laughs].”

His hair color is a dark brown, He wears a wig, but the heterchromia is real.

People have told him he looks like Zuko from Avatar and he humbly accepts the compliment every time.

He’s a big ATLA fan.

But he’s a cloest fan.

Sato is actually a novice/going on advance baker and chef.

The stuff he makes is pretty good, but it often takes him more than one attempt to het the recipe right.

Everyone loves it when he just pops on set w a bunch of goodies.

Momo in particular

Cause like

girl can’t cook

but she tries!!

Her and Sato actually became pretty close because of this.

Although no one will eat what she makes

No one can stomach it.

Mineta and Aoyama tried once and they almost got food poisoning.

Sero is actually insecure about having pointy elbows irl so playing Sero was pretty sweet.

He’s also very quiet.

Like you wouldn’t know he was there unless you’re looking for him.

It’s not cause he’s shy, the boy just doesn’t like vocalizing his thoughts

Or more of he doesn’t know how to.

Meanwhile, Shoji can be such a big chatterbox

Basically Midoriya but his mind hops from one topic to the next.

He’ll be in an interview answering a question about how he feels his character is being developed and what he wishes for his character in the future but then he’ll start talking about his favorite villians in the show and fun spoilery moments he can’t wait to see on the big screen and stfu Shoji you’re ruining the show >:( don’t say spoils!!

Shoji was born w a cleft lip, and he used to be insecure about it when he was younger but like...

fuck it, y’know??

Kaminari can actually be as stupid as his character at times

not that he means too

it’s mostly him just misplacing things he either

A. Just had in his hands

B. Are still in his hands

C. He passed off to someone else two minute ago

He’s literally so sweet though

Like he’s so close w everyone in the cast

and yes

Bakusquad is real

Except the true Bakusquad consists of Bakugo, Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, Uraraka, Iida, and Hagakure

Which shocks no one after they released that one episode w all the behind the scenes footage cause they are all so competitive

They have so many miniscule challenges and whatnot going on

But let it be known that the Bakusquad isn’t like some sort of super elite group

They are just the ones who are always trying to one up eachother

Selfies happen all the time

Everyone w Everyone

Mid-makeup selfies

Post-shoot selfies where everyone looks and feels like a wreak

Script reading selfies

Cuddle selfies

Many of the casts memebers will just sorta

cuddle eachother

and it’s okay

sometimes you just need it

And it helps fuel the shipping wars

No one takes sides except on Toshinko

Everyone ships Toshinko

People just want Midoriya to have an active father figure in his life and whoops now he’s a legitimate father figure in his life haha

It’s sort of a joke ship, sort of a real thing??

Like when fans ask “What’s your favorite ship??” Or “What ship do you want to see become canon?” The answer is always defaulted to Toshinko.

The actors of Toshi and Inko are also married iro so that might be a reason too

Speaking of Toshi!!

He was almost an automatic shoe-in for his role, but they still had to find a guy to play his buff “alter ego”, All Might.

Which lead to them hiring his cousin, who was originally a full-time bathing suit model.

Eh, he had time to spare though.

Toshi and All Might are such a vibe

They’re the dads™️

Might make more cause honestly i eat this AU up >:)

*screams in unsent project*

"Celebrating anime characters birthdays is stupid." Fuck it, Happy Birthday Mr. Compress.
