MHA Multiverse Wiki

# **Welcome**

This may seem rather obvious, but this is a fan-made wiki revolving around "Boku No Hero Academia"; or "My Hero Academia", and the multitude of alternate universe (AUs) created by both Kohei Horikoshi and the fandom. But even though this wiki is mainly reserved for AUs centred around MHA, they can also revolve any of Horikoshi's previous works such as;

* ***Barrage*** (戦星のバルジ *Sensei no Baruji*): On the planet of Industria where aliens fight with humans, a young slum dweller Astro works tirelessly to feed his adopted brothers and sisters. One day, after an argument with his boss, Astro saves him from the alien Archduke of Endra. Despite this, Astro is fired. Distraught, he accidentally meets his doppelganger, the runaway Prince Barrage of Industria, who wants Astro to act as his substitute. Astro decides to assume the role of the prince of Industria to prevent arousing suspicion from enemy aliens and protect his beloved "family".
* ***Oumagadoki Zoo*** (逢魔ヶ刻動物園 *Ōmagadoki Dōbutsuen*): Hana Aoi, a clumsy teenage girl, is known around her school by the nickname "Clumsy-Good for Nothing". One day, she sees a flyer in town about a zoo that needs workers. After she appears there, she discovers that the zoo is keeping strange things, which she realizes after seeing Shiina, the director of the infamous Oumagadoki Zoo. He has been cursed by a ghost rabbit and given the body of a rabbit. In order to get his original body back, he has to show that he does care for animals by gathering every animal from the world and making his own popular zoo.
* ***Shinka Rhapsody*** (進化ラプソディ *Shinka Rapusodi*)
* ***My Hero*** (僕のヒーロー *Boku no Hīrō*)
* ***Tenko*** (テンコ)

However, another exception to this rule is "***The Hunters Guild: Red Hood***" (レッドフード); created by Yuki Kawaguchi, a former assistant of Horikoshi. Combined, these series make up the foundation of what I call "The Heroverse", with BNHA being at the centre of it all.

## **AU Info**

### **Types**

**Switch Up**
This type of AU revolves around the cannon characters of MHA either swapping roles and/or personalities with another character of the authors choice. For example, Deku replaces Bakugo or All Might replaces AFO. But whilst no *new* characters are added, new locations, motivations and goals are acceptable as the story would radically change if the characters held altered motives and lives.
However, in the case of only one character pairing being changed then that AU would be better described as a ***Character-Centred*** AU. On top of that, if there's any in-universe reasons for a character to change their personality or aesthetic then that universe would better described as a ***Continuity Change*** or ***Special Event*** type of AU.

**Crossovers** These types of universe typically revolve around the characters of MHA either being replaced by those of another franchise, like another anime, book/light novel or a game or show. Furthermore these AUs may also revolve around said characters being placed into the world of another franchise, such as Undertale, RWBY, Pokémon, Monster Hunter, etc.

**Basic Change** Similarly to that of *Switch up* Aus, Aus that fall under this category more often than not revolve around every member of the cast of MHA being being slightly altered in some way. But even though each character has been slightly changed, the overall story remains almost identical to that of the original. More over, AUs that that only contain a few altered characters aren't found here.

**Continuity Change** Continuity Change AUs, or Concept Change AUs, are AUs that modify the continuity of MHA or, in the case of AUs of AUs, the base-AU in some fashion. Whether the AU takes place before the main story of MHA, during the same time-period, or after—so long as the AU doesn't qualify for any other AU Type; they're all Continuity Change AUs. AUs that place the world of MHA into the continuity of another IP (such as RWBY) are also Continuity Changes.

**Prequel** Backstory AUs are AUs that take place before the events of MHA or, in the case of AUs of AUs, before the story of the base-AU, but don't change anything that would happen in MHA/the base-AU.
The timeframe of a Backstory AU can proceed to take place during MHA's events, as long as it does not conflict with anything that happens in-game.

**Unscripted Event** Special Event AUs are AUs that change the plot of MHA or, in the case of AUs of AUs, the base-AU in some fashion, generally through a special event that occurs that otherwise wouldn't happen. Whether this sudden change happens before the main character (Izuku Midoriya) enters UA High-school or while the main character is in UA, both are Special Events.

**Sequel** Sequel AUs are AUs that take place after the main story of MHA or, in the case of AUs of AUs, after the story of the base-AU.

**Character-centred** AUs that are focused on a particular set of characters. These include head-canons, extensions, and flat out new ideas.

**Self-insert** AUs in which the characters are either replaced with real people, or a character based off of yourself or others.

**Inversions** Similar to that of the *continuity change* AU, an Inverted AU basically takes a pre-existing AU and inverts it. Everything, from characters, history, and locations are inverted; heroes become villains, villains become heroes, etc.

**All Mighty** Unlike all of the AU types which have come before, All Mighty AUs are universes created by All Mighty characters; like ***Spectrum***, ***Fennec*** or ***Malware***.

### **Tones**

**Serious** AUs that, as opposed to Comedic AUs, actually hold a serious story and such. Just because an AU has a serious tone does not mean that it must be serious all the time, just most of the time.

**Semi-serious** AUs that have a balanced mixture of Serious and Comedic elements.

**Comedic** AUs that are mostly comedic in nature. Bear in mind that a Parody can be either dark or comedic so Parodies and Comedic AUs aren't necessarily the same thing. Nevertheless, they can also be both.

**Violent** AUs that feature horrible, evil, and/or murderous Monsters.

**Horror** AUs with the goal of creating something scary, insane, or disturbing. Some AUs that follow the genocide route are also found here, but not all are geno-route-only. Some possible themes include suicide, drug use, alcohol use, depression, death, gore, insanity, disfigurement, pain, etc. Horror can also include Terror, and effects on psychology. This could include things like dystopias and the like.
