Curate, connect, and discover
Everyone talks about Deku fanboying over All Might, about Koichi, but can we talk about Cementoss? The man is a stoic, stone-faced pro hero who cares about his students like crazy, but according to the wiki, he’s also a huge All Might fan.
Now imagine this:
It all starts one quiet lunch break.
Cementoss walks by Deku, notices him sketching. Most teachers would assume it’s homework or strategy notes. But Cementoss pauses, tilts his head, and goes:
"Is that the limited-edition All Might Golden Age suit design?"
Deku nearly ascends. “Y-You KNOW about that?!”
From that day forward, an alliance is formed. The Secret All Might Fan Club™ is born. It’s just the two of them (+maybe Koichi when they finally get a crossover movie). It's sacred.
The Merch Hunt begins.
Cementoss corners Deku one day like a man on a mission:
"Midoriya. There's a website auctioning the «Victory Pose» All Might figure. Only 100 were made. I need your expertise."
They spend the next hour zooming in on grainy photos like CSI: Fanboy Edition.
"See that paint detail? That's real. But the cape texture… looks like a bootleg."
"Exactly! Probably done by the same people that are selling the bootleg «First Sports Festival» All Might figure..."
Midnight passes by, sees them huddled over a laptop like cult members. Says nothing. Keeps walking.
Cementoss has a hidden display case in the teacher’s lounge. Looks like a normal bookshelf. But one tap on the right panel — click — it opens.
A shrine. A literal shrine of All Might memorabilia.
Deku: "Sensei… this is beautiful."
Cementoss, solemnly: "Only those who truly believe may witness it."
He’s got everything: rare figurines, signed posters, a piece of debris All Might lifted in battle ("Acquired through legal means", he insists), and even an All Might-themed teacup.
They sip tea and debate All Might’s top 5 fights like it's an academic thesis.
Cementoss is a lowkey All Might mega fan and Deku finally found someone who gets it. They are the chaotic good fanboy duo we never knew we needed.
And honestly, who wouldn't fanboy over All Might? To me, he's honestly the best character in MHA. But that's probably for another post.
