Bound by Chains (Fanfic)	comment	When misfortune brings Izuku Midoriya back to Japan after spending ten years overseas, he finds himself a stranger in a familiar land. Even as his world changes, so many of the sights are all the same, from old "friends" to the neverending clash of Heroes defending the innocent from devious Villains out to exploit them. But everything has its reflection; and this society of Heroes and Villains is no exception.The Mirror World is the darkness cast in the mirror of Hero Society's consciousness. Here, terrible creatures called "Shadows" prowl the night in search of unwary people who stray too close to the boundary between mind and matter or those foolish enough to cross it of their own volition. Izuku must gather allies to dismantle this society of monsters born from the human psyche. Luckily for him, fate has seen fit to imbue a Quirkless would-be hero with a different kind of potential: the power of the Wild Card.Bound By Chains is a crossover AU story between My Hero Academia and the Persona video game series written by Anonymous567, in which a Quirkless Izuku Midoriya gains the power of Persona, the manifestation of one's personalities, and uses his new abilities to defend his home from malevolent Shadows kidnapping civilians and leaving them as emotionless husks of their former selves, while at the same time aspiring to join U.A's famous Hero Course to accomplish his dreams. The story follows his journey as he balances his life in reality building his Social Links and unraveling the mysteries of the Mirror World, the source of the Shadows and their Persona abilities.Note, due to the author's use of Adaptational Early Appearance and Continuity Nod, spoilers for Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona 5 and My Hero Academia are unmarked. You have been warned.Beware of unmarked spoilers.

In this AU, Izuku meets Tamaki Amajiki at his job at a convenience store, and befriends him after coming to his defence when he couldn't speak up against an Obnoxious Entitled Housewife and getting fired in the process. After that he befriends Tamaki and was invited to train with him and the rest of the Big Three as thanks and as an apology for getting him fired, becoming the Star Arcana Social Link.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_1b93f276	comment	Izuku has been repeatedly punished for doing the right thing in the past. While he was overseas, he was expelled from one school due to beating up several students who were bullying one of his peers. In the story proper, he's fired from his part-time job as a cashier after he tells a customer to shut up for harrassing Tamaki, a hero student and intern. More humorously, he's constantly on the hook as The Fixer for his team, making it a Running Gag that he's perpetually broke covering his teammate's expenses on everything from food to equipment to supplies.

Despite the harmlessness of the gesture, Katsuki's inflated ego refuses to let him take help from someone he sees as beneath him, making him believe that Izuku is looking down upon him. After spending a day at the airsoft field, Agatha asks Katsuki for his perspective on why her twin sister could have abandoned her family. Katsuki is annoyed by her constant questioning and remarks that he would've left if she kept bugging him like this too. This shocks Agatha, who later confides to Izuku that her sister struggled to perform even the most basic tasks expected of her, such as being able to summon Personas from the Compendium. She then wonders if her attempts to console and coddle her sister by telling her that it was okay to be born weak drove her away.

Her Persona, Hodr, grants her a level of navigational abilities similar to Mitsuru Kirijo but it's range is rather limited as she was only able to pick up Shadows within the same building as her and could only be lengthened through focusing using the scope created by her Rifle Quirk. It also couldn't pierce through walls when using her scope, further weakening her abilities in underground areas.

This is in contrast to canon where she initially believed the country was better off under the rule of All for One as at least he was honest with his villainy. To a certain extent, Himiko Toga. While she does occasionally bring humans into the Mirror World and blackmail their way out in exchange for their blood, she keeps her word and does no harm to them even when they refuse. She also rescues humans trapped in the Mirror World in exchange for their blood, keeping them safe from Shadows, and eventually joins Izuku's team after they offer her a consistent supply of their blood as well as Izuku agreeing to be her 'boyfriend'. This is in stark contrast to canon where she has committed multiple murders.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_4bf3d8d7	comment	Personality Powers: Many of the main cast have Personas that reflect themselves, either by personality of similar stories. Izuku Midoriya's initial Persona is Don Quixote, referencing both have desires to become heroes in their own times but their dreams are labelled impossible or delusional. Kaina Tsutsumi's Persona is Hodr, the blind god manipulated by Loki into shooting and killing Baldur with a mistletoe arrow similar to how the HPSC manipulated Kaina into being their weapon and agent. Katsuki Bakugou's Persona is Sekhmet, an Egyptian war goddess also called the Eye of Ra whose bloodlust laid waste to Egypt, reflecting Katsuki's own bloodlust and eagerness for combat. Himiko Toga's Persona is Carmilla, a female vampire who preyed on humans. Both are seductive (or rather Himiko tries to be), as well as intense in their passion and anger. They both also possess a thirst for blood. Inverted with Izuku when wields an Arcana as he finds that it affects how he would usually act. The Strength Arcana would allow him to feel more brave and confident in his actions and the Devil Arcana makes him more have more pragmatic inclined to use unsavoury methods such as snapping a villain's neck, something that terrifies him. Agatha explains to him that these are not his Personas affecting his actions, rather focusing and bringing out aspects that already exist within himself.

The process of obtaining a Persona involves confronting your repressed thoughts and feelings to obtain a more complete understanding of yourself. In the case of people like Izuku and Kaina, this can be a significant step toward healing, as both of them are significantly happier, more idealistic people after obtaining their respective Personas. However, this doesn't solve deeper traumas, such as Kaina's guilt over her past murders. Himiko's Awakening also caused her to stop trying to act "normal" and start indulging her fascination with blood, resulting in her unhinged behavior that could have easily escalated into serial killing had she not met Izuku earlier than she did.

When confronted by Katsuki, it is revealed that overtime Izuku's dreams have deteriorated to the extent he deep down wants to become a Hero just out of spite towards everyone that doubted him, and Izuku shamefully acknowledges that as the truth. He initially viewed his goals towards being a Hero as the only reason he has for living. After awakening his Persona and forming bonds, his attitude has taken a positive shift and is now more akin to his early canon self where he excitedly mutters aloud and is eager with his training. He is also seen smiling more often and more confident thanks to his Personas as well as combat training in the Mirror World. While acting as the field leader, he noted by his friends for taking on a more serious and tactical Persona that prioritises both the mission and the safety of his teammates. Himiko Toga to a certain extent, as thanks to the awakening of her Persona she was able to remain relatively more stable than her canon counterpart, never reaching her breaking point and falling into killing to feed her thirst of blood. However she does retain a warped view towards love and affection, acting obsessed over forming a romantic relationship with Izuku.

Their relationship has grown close after months together with Kaina occasionally fluffing his hair. Thanks to moving away to another country for ten years, the relationship between Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya never deteriorated to the point that Katsuki dared Izuku to "take a swan dive off the roof". Although upon their reunion their relationship is still very much estranged, it somewhat improved after after Izuku's rescue of Katsuki from his Shadow and subsequent spending time together. Even then cooperation is still tense, with both of them snarking at the other and leaving each other on the hook for things like restaurant bills. As part of their deal, Himiko agreed to work with the team to eliminate Shadows and rescue humans in exchange for a consistent supply of blood and Izuku being her 'boyfriend'. While Izuku does so reluctantly and sees their relationship as not being a real one due to being formed by a contract, Himiko wishes desperately for Izuku to fall in love with her, to the former's disturbance. In canon, Katsuki Bakugou never interacted with Himiko Toga or Kaina Tsutsumi. But in this AU he is part of the team of Persona users and works closely with the two although he often insults them and doesn't bother using their real names. Hisashi Midoriya has yet to make an appearance in canon, but in this AU he appears close to the beginning and is the Sun Arcana for Izuku's Social Link. He teaches Izuku how to create his infiltration tools such as smoke bombs in exchange for scrap he collects in the Mirror World, although he remains oblivious to the source of the raw materials Izuku brings for him. The Big Three debuted in canon around the Shie Hassaikai Arc, with Izuku primarily interacting with Mirio over the rest. In this AU, Izuku meets Tamaki Amajiki at his job at a convenience store, and befriends him after coming to his defence when he couldn't speak up against an Obnoxious Entitled Housewife and getting fired in the process. After that he befriends Tamaki and was invited to train with him and the rest of the Big Three as thanks and as an apology for getting him fired, becoming the Star Arcana Social Link.

In this story, her Shadow taunts her about how people can't trust her because of how easily she can listen in on people's conversations while insinuating that people are avoiding her because she supposedly knows all their secrets. The Shadow also indicates that Kyoka is self-conscious about how her Quirk affects her appearance while asking if she'd prefer to be Quirkless. Her angst stems from an incident where she overheard corrupt heroes plotting Engineered Heroics and reported them to the police, only to be loathed as a liar when those heroes and the terrorists they fought wound up dead (with the implication that both groups were silenced by the HPSC).

This allows him to remain flexible in the battlefield and target the weakness of enemy Shadows to stun them, allowing his team members to capitalise on their downed state.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_9bee1a7f	comment	Eldritch Location: The Mirror World is one such place, created and shaped by the collective perception from humans being reflected into it and distorted. It is full of armies of Shadows fighting each other for control, and occasionally humans are dragged in by Shadows in order to be used as fuel to create more Shadows. During midnight the barriers between both realms are at its weakest, which allows Shadows to invade and kidnap humans from the real world. However in the latest arc, Shadows are now seen kidnapping humans in broad daylight. The Velvet Room can be classified as one. For Izuku Midoriya, his Velvet Room is located in a school classroom surrounded by thick fog. Fusions of Personas are performed at the gates of these schools where the Personas' are 'expelled' through a pair of iron gates before the resulting Persona from the Fusion is 'enrolled' from the fog the component Personas were banished into. Expelled Personas can then be re-summoned by 're-enrolling' them for a monetary sum, although Agatha mentions that it can be done without money if Izuku wishes to sacrifice parts of his body or soul. There is also a Gymnasium where Izuku can fight against cognitive reconstructions of past opponents in order to train, as well as cognitive constructs of past Wild Cards.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: Shadows faced by Izuku and his team are from both Persona 3 and Persona 4, formed from collective repressed thoughts. Among them are also what Kaina calls 'Persona Shadows' that are reminiscent of those in Persona 5, where Izuku can convince to join him like Ren Amamiya does. There are also 'Warlord' Shadows that are warped reflections of a single Person that leads Factions of Shadows. Eliminating a Warlord Shadow leads to something akin to a widespread change of heart similar to Persona 5, where people oppressed by the person in reality start to rise up against them. An example is when Katsuki's Shadow was banished, everyone in Aldera stopped looking up to him out of fear and his teachers begin forcing him to follow rules like the other students, no longer giving him preferential treatment. Another is the Pro Hero Dive Bomb, who's criminal operations collapsed from in-fighting after his Shadow was destroyed and many of his victims finding the courage to speak up against him by reporting to other Pros and the HPSC. The Phoenix Rangers Featherman R series that exists throughout the Persona franchise is mentioned in Chapter 23 by both Katsuki Bakugou and Himiko Toga who were fans of it during their childhood. Igor and Agatha make references to the "Trickster" who was once a guest of the Velvet Room, referencing the events of Persona 5. Izuku has his own version of Ren's Picaro Personas, explained as being his own manifestation of Personas utilised by previous Wild Cards called Sicarius Personas named as such due to the activities of the team more resembling assassins, breaking into heavily fortified areas to take down singular powerful 'Warlord' Shadows. So far the only example is Orpheus Sicarius which changes its colour scheme to black and white and including a green scarf, as well as its lyre growing a blade and replacing it's fire "Agi-" spells with wind "Garu-" spells. In Chapter 22, Izuku is introduced to a Gymnasium in the Velvet Room where he can fight against cognitive constructs of the past Wild Cards, with his first being the protagonist of Persona 3, Makoto Yuuki. But due to their difference in experience and power, Makoto was able to effortless crush Izuku so fast that the latter couldn't register what had happened. During one of their 'dates' in Chapter 26 Himiko Toga and Izuku Midoriya rescue a white Shiba Inu, the same type of dog as Koamaru from Persona 3. This dog eventually becomes the Chariot Arcana for Izuku's Social Links. In Chapter 27, a girl hinted to be Saiko Intelli was seen reading a book of Cognitive Pscience written by Futaba Sakura. The Big Three train in a gym on the weekends located in Musutafu named after Akihiko Sanada from Persona 3. In Chapter 30 when faced with Kyoka Jirou's Shadow and being unable to land a hit due to its foresight, Izuku unlocks Fusion Spells with the aid of Agatha in order to cast a devastating spell that it could neither dodge or block. The only ones capable of such a feat in the Persona universe were both Makoto Yuuki and Aegis.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_ad62678e	comment	Living Shadow: The primary enemy that Izuku and his team fights in the Mirror World are Shadows fromed by the collective repressed thoughts of humanity warped and reflected by the realm. Their base forms are often large black slimes, but in recent chapters Izuku and his team encounter a Vatican-like city in the Mirror World filled with Shadows whose base forms resemble cloaked and masked humanoids wielding pitchforks and torches. All Persona users have to face their own Shadow similar to Persona 4, being confronted by their repressed self with varying results ranging from encouragement to break free from the chains that society have set on them, to violently brutalising in Katsuki's case as he continues to reject his Shadow. Izuku's Shadow is a strange case as even after awakening his Initial Persona, the Shadow persists in a corner of Izuku's mind and connects him to the Sea of Souls, granting him new Personas for every new Social Link or milestone he accomplished. His comments can range from sarcastic mockery to genuine advice.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_bf5fc089	comment	Tarot Motifs: Like in Persona, Izuku amasses a collection of Social Links to boost his abilities as the Wild Card, each of them represented by a Major Arcana. Fool: Izuku's team of vigilantes consisting of Katsuki Bakugou, Kaina Tsutsumi and Himiko Toga working together to fight against Shadows, although each have their own reasons for doing so. Such as with Katsuki only seeing this as extra training, and Himiko making a deal with Izuku. Magician: Represented by Katsuki Bakugou, someone with great ambition that is matched by his great immaturity. It also represents that despite all Katsuki's talk, he has barely taken the first steps into his journey like Izuku has. Priestess: Represented by Kyoka Jirou. Empress: Represented by Inko Midoriya, the mother of Izuku Midoriya and an important female figure in his life. Their Social Link involves trying to reconnect with each other after years of little communication between each other driving them apart slowly, in part due to Izuku's stubborn desire to be a Hero in-spite of his Quirkless nature. Lovers: Represented by Himiko Toga maintaining her warped sense of harmony through her obsession with love and desire to form relationships, with Izuku as her primary target of affection Chariot: Represented by a strange dog that Izuku befriends. Strength: Represented by the Mysterious Merchant that Izuku first meets on his first incursion into the Mirror World, being his main supplier of equipment used to fight against Shadows. They have an obsession with obtaining power without relying on bonds, and see Izuku as a sort of test subject to prove their hypothesis correct. Izuku's Shadow implies that they seek to hide their own perceived weakness through gaining power. Hanged Man: Represented by Keigo Takami, also known as Hawks. While it has not developed yet, the common theme of the Hanged Man through the Persona universe involves inability or fear of obtaining initiative, being forced to deal with a dilemmas in their life that leaves it in a stagnant state, likely implying his employment under the HPSC. Devil: Represented by an Online Gamer that Izuku befriends through a game, under the name of DecayLord who is revealed to be Tomura Shigaraki. A common meaning of the Devil Arcana is enslavement, entrapment and unhealthy relationships which may be represented by his relationship with All for One. It is also represented with temptation which may allude to the idea that Tomura may tempt Izuku into joining the League of Villains due to Izuku's growing jaded outlook on Hero Society. Tower: Represented by Kaina Tsutsumi, also known as Lady Nagant. In the Persona universe, it is commonly attributed to people driven to isolation and pessimism in part due to treatment of others around them as well as their own volition. After years of being used by the HPSC, Kaina initially isolated herself in the Mirror World and responded negatively to Izuku's offer of working together to stop the Shadows, but eventually gives in and decides to work with and mentor him, forming a close bond with him. Star: Represented by the Big Three, but primarily by Tamaki Amajiki. An antisocial Hero student going through internal struggles due to his social anxiety, his Social Link with Izuku so far involves him trying to overcome his weakness to be a better Hero, as well as Izuku training in practical skills required for Heroics to prepare himself for U.A's Entrance Exam. Sun: Represented by Hisashi Midoriya, the estranged father of Izuku Midoriya. While he is more present in this AU, with Inko and Izuku moving to California, America to be with him in his job, it is mentioned that they still had little contact with Hisashi often working late to support his family. Once they return to Japan, Izuku learns that his father's reputation has been ruined after a scandal at his old workplace, and now struggles to find a job in the Support Industry. Their Social Link involves rekindling the bond as they work together, with Hisashi being given raw materials from Izuku's journeys into the Mirror World in exchange for teaching him how to craft infiltration tools. Aeon: Represented by the Velvet Room Attendant, Agatha, a being that is not exactly human and unfamiliar with the behaviour of humans. The theme of her Social Link is trying to understand the world around her, and in doing so trying to understand her twin sister that ran away for reasons unknown to her.

After hearing a deal between a corrupted Pro Hero and Villain planning a terrorist attack for the Hero to foil and regain their fame, she reports this to the police and her warnings were apparently heeded but not in the way she expected. When both the Heroes and Villains ended up dead, with the former praised for their Heroic Sacrifice, Kyoka tried to tell everyone otherwise which is when the trope is played straight as no one believes her and ostracises her for trying to ruin a dead Hero's reputation. Fittingly her Persona is manifested in the form of Kassandra, princess of Troy and priestess of Apollo.

She was also capable of sniping off Shigaraki's hands during the Final War Arc from hundreds of kilometres away.

In doing so, they gain the supernatural power to wield their former mask as an extension of themselves in the Mirror World while also coming to terms with their personal hangups. Kaina confronted hers in the past and gained the ability to summon Hodr to her aid, resulting in her somewhat more idealistic disposition compared to the depressed, cynical wreck she was in My Hero Academia. Subverted by Katsuki, who refuses to accept his Shadow's words of accepting personal weakness and tries to subjugate it by force. The Shadow plays along and willingly lets itself get absorbed by Katsuki, allowing him to conjure magical fire to attack the Shadows. But he lacks the ability to summon a Persona or properly direct its powers because of his unwillingness to confront himself, with his chains glowing red instead of blue like the others.

In the story proper, he's fired from his part-time job as a cashier after he tells a customer to shut up for harrassing Tamaki, a hero student and intern. More humorously, he's constantly on the hook as The Fixer for his team, making it a Running Gag that he's perpetually broke covering his teammate's expenses on everything from food to equipment to supplies. Kyoka Jirou at a young age overhears a terrorist plot between a corrupted Pro Hero and Villain gang, reporting this to the police to stop it from happening. However, when both sides ended up dead and the former Heroes praised for their actions, she tried to reveal the truth only to be treated like a Villain trying to ruin the reputation of Pro Heroes. This leads to nasty rumours, bullying and also her parents' reputation being damaged which forced them to move away and Kyoka forcibly suppressing her enhanced hearing to avoid a similar situation for occurring ever again.

He is also the first in the front lines, being physically the strongest of the team so far but still reliant on his firepower than physical attacks. Himiko Toga fills out the role of Thief, being physically weak and reliant on a fighting style that emphasises on disrupting and disorientating enemies before striking in weak spots with her daggers. She was also the first to discover a Stealth technique that renders one almost invisible to Shadows. Kaina fills the role of Mage, fighting from long range and mostly using her Persona's ability to help navigate the rest of the team, directing them through their missions and pointing out weaknesses in their foes. Thanks to Izuku's ability as the Wild Card, he can fill out any role required of him whether it be a front-line fighter or a healer in the backlines. Primarily he acts as a Mage, constantly swapping Personas to strike at the elemental weaknesses of enemy Shadows to disrupt them and allow his friends to counter-attack.

Bound by Chains (Fanfic) / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: The Personas of the protagonists are all themed around misguided figures whose actions led to their own destruction: Izuku's Persona, Don Quixote, set out with delusions of chivalry and glory, causing much chaos and misfortune before returning home regretful of the harm he caused and succumbing to deathly illness. Kaina's Persona, HÃ¶dr, was the blind son of Odin and Frigg who was tricked by Loki into killing Baldur, the god of light. Outraged, Odin would sire a child named Vali with the giantess Rindr. Vali would then grow to adulthood in a day and murder HÃ¶dr out of vengeance. Katsuki's Persona, Sekhmet, is an Egyptian goddess of war and destruction and an aspect of Ra whose unquenchable bloodlust nearly laid Egypt and mankind to waste until she was rendered drunk enough to end her rampage and return to Ra. Himiko's Persona, Carmilla, fell in love with a teenaged girl named Laura. But this romance would end when Carmilla is exposed as the vampire Millarca and staked to death by the father of one of her former lovers/victims. Kyoka's Persona, Kassandra, was a Trojan oracle who was cursed to utter prophecies that would never be believed by the god Apollo after spurning his affections. She then failed to convince her people of the threat of the Trojan Horse, leading to the destruction of Troy. She was then taken as a Sex Slave by Agamemnon and murdered by his jealous wife, Clyemnestra. Agatha, the story's Velvet Room Attendant, continues the tradition of the attendants being named after characters from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In this case, Agatha is named after the young girl whom Frankenstein's monster observes to learn speech and ettiquette, only for the monster to be chased away by Agatha's family when he tries to introduce himself to her.
