Cryptid of the Day: Ryukyu Kingfisher
Description: The Ryukyu Kingfisher, a 9 1/2 inch bird, lived in Japan’s Miyako Island, but only one specimen was ever collected back in 1887. It’s believed that the bird went extinct due to the introduction of rats to the island. However, some have reported seeing the bird and believe they are still alive.

[ID: two drawings. the first is of a bonin wood pigeon. pale-coloured with purple and black on it's wings and tails. sits on a branch. the second is a stamp, of a ryukyu wood pigeon siting on a branch next to some flowers. it is mostly black/dark green, with red, purple and white on it's neck]
As the last 2 pigeons leave the stage, the stage remains empty… No new pigeons come up to take their place. has something happened? are they running late? No! all at once a strange chill fills the room fill the room and bubbles start to rise from the floor. with a flourish, two ghosts appear!
The Bonin wood pigeon went extinct due to a combination combination of hunting, deforestation, and invasive cats and rats. It was confirmed extinct in the spring of 1889. It was found only on a few islands south of Japan and seemed rare even when it was alive.
The Ryukyu wood pigeon Lived in laurel forest In the Okinawa archipelago. The species was last seen in around 1936 and it has never Been seen again. Despite extreme habitat destruction, theoretically there are still islands with enough forest for the bird to survive, however it is extremely unlikely that it would not have been sighted since then, even though it may be strange that it appears to have completely disappeared from the few islands that still have mostly intact forest cover.

Anyway since I made the blog I figure I should tell you about MY turtle iteration.
It’s a little hard to explain bc it doesn’t have a theme like gumys superhero one but! I’ll do my best. (I call it the baroque verse)
I suppose I’ll start with the Kraang. I’m this one there’s only like. 4 of them. They came from the dimension x planet to earth bc on dimension x they were kinda losers bc they couldn’t do anything right, so they were all like “well show them! We’ll go to earth and transform it into a habitable place!” (Dimension x is experiencing a huge overpopulation crisis, so a whole new planet to live on would benefit them massively)
They end up meeting Bishop, who in this au is not only a cyborg but a woman (#feminism) with a mysterious past. Bishop offers to help them overthrow earth, on the condition they promise to give her a share of land. But in truth, she’s actually manipulating them for her own insane means and will probably kill them once she has what she needs. What does she need? It’s a secret (I haven’t figured it out yet she is the newest character I’ve made)
So, she builds them a vast robot army. And this is where Splinter and Sherdder come in. (In this one, shredder is splinters DAD!!)
Basically, there was a war between the hamatos and their rival clan, the Foot, in Japan. The hamatos win, ofc but this feud ends up killing sakis wife. (splinters mother). So, saki leaves the hamato clan to his pupil and him and splinter run off to America. However, they end up getting caught up in all the Kraang business, and realize that they kinda don’t want the world to end, actually, so they start their own sort of father-son rebellion against the aliens. Yay, bonding! (They actually have a very healthy relationship)
One night, they hear that the Kraang are planning to experiment more with biological soldiers, and bishop has crafted a special serum (mutagen, what else). Splinter and his father mosey on over to hq to check it out and lo and behold! They’re experimenting on innocent baby turtles! Splinter and Saki that they have to save those baby turtles from what is sure to be their demise (god forbid women do anything) and decide to launch an ambush right then and there. A lot of shit happens. Mutagen vat explodes. Walls crumble and the building comes down. Splinter (a freshly mutated Ryukyu spiny rat) snatches the turtles (who somehow fell into a mutagen puddle that had a live electrical wire in it and lived?? We’ll get to that later) and Saki and Bishop disappear.
Splinter declares his father dead and drags the babies to the sewers to raise them as his own, because what else is he supposed to do? Turns out, surprise, each of the babies have unique super powers. Terrible twos? More like “asleep on your feet fur singed off depressed as hell what did I do to deserve this at least my oldest is somewhat behaved oh wait he’s deaf how am I supposed to accommodate him I don’t know fucking sign language and I can’t look it up I’m a rat I don’t have a goddamn cellphone Jesus Christ Leonardo stop electrocuting your brother” twos!!! hahah am I right!
Fast forward 15 years. The turtles birth order (oldest to youngest) goes Donnie, Leo, Mikey, Raph. Donnie is a spotted pond turtle, Leo is a River cooter, Mikey is a gulf coast box turtle, and Raph is an albino wood turtle. As stated before, Donnie is deaf and uses a modified mix of ASL (finger spelling) and BSL (for everything else) around his brothers, and AAC around his father and certain other people who don’t know his special Frankenstein sign language. All the turtles powers in order of birth order are Foresight (which, for extra angst points, give Donnie seizures if they’re super major visions!) Electricity powers, fire powers, and density manipulation.
Oh btw, remember how Saki was declared dead? HES ALIVE. He’s just been brainwashed by the Kraang for the last 15 years and now his only goal is to kill splinter and his turtle children! Also, in the first few years of his captivity, he was so depressed and lonely that Bishop made him a robot daughter and fitted her with ai for him to talk to and spar with. That robot is Karai, and she eventually gains sentience.
That’s it for now I think. Wasn’t expecting it to get that long lol. Oops
wait holy shit this goes hard.

How Rare Island Bunnies Do a Parasitic Plant’s Bidding

How Rare Island Bunnies Do a Parasitic Plant’s Bidding
Tumblr media
The world’s only wild black-furred rabbit has a very important job — distributing seeds for a parasitic plant.
On the Amami Islands of Japan, wonder blooms from a nibble and some droppings.
In February 2020, an amateur naturalist named Yohei Tashiro was walking through the evergreen forests of the islands, situated about halfway between mainland Japan and Taiwan. On the ground, nestled against the roots of a tree, he noticed a cluster of strange, red globes — like strawberries crossed with red cap mushrooms. Even more interesting: Something clearly had been going to town on the ruby-red growths, the fruits of a weird little plant called Balanophora yuwanensis.
A plant oddity, B. yuwanensis does not perform photosynthesis, but rather leaches its energy from the roots of other plants. Technically, it’s a parasite.
While scientists had long figured that B. yuwanensis relied on the wind to spread its seeds, dense plants growing beneath the tree canopy cut down on how much air can blow through the forest. In addition, the plant’s seeds are tightly packed, dry and rather unappealing aside from their vibrant color.
“Yes, I tried it,” said Kenji Suetsugu, an ecologist at Kobe University in Japan, “but it was not sweet and not tasty.”
Birds have been known to eat the fruits, but only sparingly, leaving the scientists to wonder: Could the parasitic plant get around by advertising its seeds to an ancient, endangered and equally weird mammal instead?
The B. yuwanensis fruit does not perform photosynthesis, but leaches its energy from the roots of other plants. Technically, it’s a parasite.Kenji Suetsugu and Hiromu Hashiwaki
Enter the nocturnal Pentalagus furnessi, or Amami rabbit, the world’s only dark-furred wild bunny. In a study published this week in the journal Ecology, Dr. Suetsugu and Hiromu Hashiwaki, a co-author also of Kobe University, posit an evolutionary bargain between Amami rabbits and B. yuwanensis. The root-sucking plants give food in exchange for seed dispersal services — something that has never been documented between a mammal and a parasitic plant.
The five-pound Amami rabbits are sometimes called “living fossils” because their ancestors have died out on mainland China. But on two small, volcanic islands known as Oshima Island and Tokunoshima Island, about 5,000 of the short-eared bunnies soldier on. The International Union for Conservation of Nature considers the species endangered, a result of a combined habitat about 130 square miles, and the ever-present threat of annihilation by nonnative predators on the islands, including mongooses, cats and dogs as well as logging operations by humans.
Amami rabbits hold cultural significance to the people who live on these islands and they are a flagship species for conservation and tourism. But not a lot is known about them, Dr. Suetsugu said.
Acting on a hunch that it was the rabbits gnawing the fruits to their nubs, the scientists trained three infrared camera traps on B. yuwanensis fruit bundles in January 2021. By March, they had an answer.
During the day, pale thrushes and Ryukyu robins visited the bright red fruits, but the birds tended to consume only a little bit of fruit at a time. Invasive rats also infrequently dined on the fruits. But when night fell, the Amami rabbits feasted, sometimes gobbling up a whole, golf-ball-sized globe in a single sitting. Combining the frequency of visits and the amount of fruit consumed, the scientists concluded that the rabbits were the main creatures feeding on the parasitic plants.
On a hunch, the scientists trained three infrared camera traps on B. yuwanensis fruit bundles and captured the Amami bunnies feasting.Kenji Suetsugu and Hiromu Hashiwaki
To further investigate their hypothesis, the scientists then set out to find Amami rabbit feces in the wild. Examining five pellets — the small sample size a result of the rarity of the species — they confirmed that each one contained at least one viable B. yuwanensis seed. Using a combination of the wild rabbit droppings and Amami rabbits housed at the Kagoshima Hirakawa Zoo, the scientists found that nearly 55 percent of the B. yuwanensis seeds to pass through the animals’ digestive tracts were still viable. Compared with similar studies of the European rabbit, which show an average of just 5 percent viability with 19 other plant species, it would seem the Amami rabbits have greater success planting new seeds.
Most importantly, it’s possible that these bunnies are much more effective parasitic-plant seed dispersers than birds, because of their natural behavior of digging burrows at the base of large trees, where B. yuwanensis requires a host plant’s roots to survive. In other words, the rabbits’ dropping patterns are less random, in the evolutionary eyes of the parasites.
While Amami rabbits and Balanophora plants may not be household names, the study reveals yet another complex relationship that has evolved through the ages, said Dr. Suetsugu. It also hints at the greater toll incurred when we drive species to extinction.
He added: “The loss of the Amami rabbit could also have a ripple effect on the entire ecosystem.”
All the more reason to study the Amamis before they’re gone.

Hi, I think tumblr ate my ask? I'd love to know if you could talk more about snakes native to Korea and Japan, or even East Asia in general!
Hello hello - I certainly can! East Asia has a very wide diversity of snake species, but you'll mostly find vipers and colubrids, especially in and around Japan. Japan has a lot of snakes (47 species) and there are also quite a few in Korea (16 species), so I'll talk about the ones I think are most interesting!
A few Japanese (and neighboring islands) snakes:
Japanese odd-toothed snakes (genus Lycodon) are found throughout Japan! These funky little snakes are so named because they have these huge teeth, used for hunting amphibians and reptiles and holding onto slippery prey. They're one of the few Japanese snakes who can eat venomous pit vipers!
Tumblr media
Iwasaki's snail-eaters are found mostly in the Ryukyu islands and are just adorable. They're specialized to eat snails and have asymmetrical jaws to help them work snails out of their shells! This adaptation means they're not great at eating anything but snails.
Tumblr media
Japanese forest rat snakes live all across Japan in wooded areas, and they are amazing to look at! They're synonymous with reptile life in Japanese forests.
Tumblr media
The hime habu is a pit viper native to Okinawa, and it's the biggest snake on the Japanese archipelago, reaching a maximum of 9 feet long, though it's usually closer to 6.
Tumblr media
One of my personal favorites, the Japanese odd-scaled snake! These little snakes are beautiful to look at. Members of the Xernodermidae family (relatives to dragonsnakes), they're thought to be primitive relatives to colubrids, and they have an odd scale pattern that makes them look incredibly unique.
Tumblr media
A few neat snakes from the Korean peninsula:
The most beautiful ratsnake in the world, the aptly-named beauty rat snake! These fellows are found throughout east Asia, but in the Korean peninsula they're only found in North Korea. Beauty rat snakes are one of my personal dream snakes.
Tumblr media
Mamushi (vipers in the genus Gloydius) are the venomous snakes in both the Japanese archepelago and the Korean peninsula. They're highly venomous (though fortunately rarely lethal without treatment) and found throughout the Korean peninsula (and throughout Japan and neighboring islands).
Tumblr media
Red-necked keelbacks are notable for being one of the only known snakes that's both venomous and poisonous! They're rear-fanged venomous (and, unusually for colubrids, their venom is medically significant) but their diet of poisonous amphibians is also thought to make them poisonous to eat!
Tumblr media
Red-banded wolfsnakes are common throughout Korea, and aside from being beautiful, they're known for a habit of rolling into a ball when threatened.

Hallucinations
Dabi x Shigaraki One-Shot
Warnings: So ooc, bugs, slight gore if you squint really hard, swearing, rOmAnCe, fEeLs, omg cliché
Shigaraki strolled into the League of Villains’ bar, wiping the blood off his hands with a discarded, musty towel. His gaze swept over those present in the room, hidden by the obstructing hand on his face. Toga was sitting at one end of the bar with Spinner, giggling obnoxiously at his dramatic hero imitations. Twice perched on a barstool at the opposite end of the bar, staring sullenly into the distance while puffing leisurely on a cigarette. Meanwhile, Kurogiri stood behind the counter, polishing glasses in a dutiful, restless manner, while Dabi lounged on an old moth eaten couch. Across from him, Compress made a move on the chessboard the two shared.
All of them eyed Shigaraki as he stepped further into the room, clearing his throat to get their attention. The effect was immediate. Toga and Spinner fell silent, Twice came out of his trance, and Dabi’s posture straightened slightly.
“News, Tomura?” Mr. Compress questioned. Shigaraki’s head turned in his general direction and gave an almost imperceptible nod.
“Different factions of the yakuza are still at war, competing for control now that they’ve removed Overhaul. One of the factions was delivering me a shipment of illegal drugs…I was expecting to use it to create more of those quirk destroying bullets, but it was intercepted by Ryukyu, Selkie and a few U.A. brats,” he reported in a bitter tone. He clearly wasn’t happy about how events had transpired.
“And all that blood on your hands, you slip and fall into Kool-Aid, boss?” Dabi snickered. Shigaraki turned to him and flexed his fingers, the unspoken threat apparent.
“How would you like to find out?” Tomura intoned quietly. Dabi scoffed, unfazed by the hostility.
“Well, you know, if you weren’t an insufferable dick and gave us straight answers…” he shrugged maladroitly. An unsteady and tense silence had fallen over the room, and everyone present was waiting to spring into action, should the need arise. Kurogiri inched closer, recalling the volatility present in the two’s previous encounters. Shigaraki and Dabi were continuing to stare at each other, Tomura’s demeanor calm and collected, Dabi’s wary yet relaxed. As they eyed each other quietly, Dabi realized Shigaraki was balancing all his weight on one leg and holding-no, more like nursing- his right arm. His gloves were absent. Tomura detected his examination and shot Dabi a nasty glare as their eyes met, daring him to say something. Kurogiri observed this interaction and decided it was time to step in, before things went any further.
“Tomura, where did all the blood come from?” he inquired, making sure to keep his tone level and to keep from sounding interrogating so as not to anger Tomura further. Shigaraki tore his gaze away from Dabi, muttering a response.
“One of the yakuza factions at war with the one I employed recognized me. Overhaul followers…one had a paralyzing quirk,” he seethed. It had hurt his pride immensely to have been surprised so easily, pinned so effortlessly, paralyzing quirk or no, and having that scarred idiot examining him only pissed him off worse. Kurogiri’s mist blew slightly, a draft from the open door causing him to dissipate and then reform as he spoke again.
“I see,” he soothed, “why don’t you go lie down, I’ll prepare you some food.”
Tomura nodded, looking rather beaten. He began to shuffle off to his room, Spinner and Twice both averting their gaze out of respect to their boss. Dabi sat thoughtfully on the couch, sweeping a hand through his hair as he rendered Compress checkmate.
~
A few hours later, Dabi was sauntering to his room in the evening, but as he passed Tomura’s room he heard muffled cursing. He turned around and rapped the door. The sounds quieted, and Tomura muttered gruffly for him to enter. Dabi obeyed, leaning against the doorframe.
“You okay in here?” he interrogated, already knowing the answer. Tomura was in bad shape. His food sat untouched, his laptop shut on the desk, no online gaming visible. He was sprawled on his bed, sweatshirt hood up, panting slightly.
“I’m fine,” he snapped, his face obscured by his hair in the dark of the room.
“Cut the bullshit handyman, what’s got you sitting on tacks?” Dabi shot back. Tomura huffed.
“Why the fuck would you care? Get out,” he barked. Dabi scoffed.
“No wonder no one wants to be around you. You’re so kind,” he murmured sarcastically, turning to leave. He was halfway to the door when Tomura spoke again.
“The attack….there were three people. One paralyzed me, another rendering me mute, I’m assuming those were their quirks…”
Dabi raised an eyebrow. “The third?” he questioned.
“The third…didn’t move until the other two started leaving…as they walked away, he threw something at me….I flinched, so I didn’t see what it was but I felt it hit me…like…worms eating into my brain. I didn’t think anything of it, because there were no unusual effects but now I…”
He trailed off, glancing at his food before quickly turning his gaze elsewhere once more. “When I try to eat the food is all…full of maggots, and mold. When I try to patch up my injuries from the encounter, all I see is…blood. So much blood…gushing, squirting, blood. Bugs. Lots of…”
He shuddered. “In the mirror…my nails turn to beetles and crawl away…my eyebrows, spiders…worms for-for lips. My gloves…they’re rats…”
His voice broke slightly, and he stopped speaking. Dabi sighed, observing him quietly. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Shigaraki was trembling, his knees pulled up to his chest. He was scared. The kind of fear that you know is irrational, but it’s bone-chilling anyway. He knew that fear, he felt it roll through his body, consuming his thoughts every time he heard his father’s footsteps near his bedroom door when he was a small child. Something inside him tugged at his consciousness, telling him to comfort the man in front of him. He gave into it, strolling over to Shigaraki and perching hesitantly next to him on the corner of the bed. He clenched his fist, opening it to reveal a small, flickering blue flame.
“Focus on it,” he suggested quietly, softly nudging Shigaraki with his shoulder. Shigaraki turned his head, hyper fixating on the fire, anxious for his mind to be anywhere but on the events of the day and their effects. After a while, he sighed softly.
“Thank you, Dabi,” he murmured, looking up at the raven-haired male. His shivering had eased, and he felt slightly calmer. Dabi noticed the hand wasn’t on his face, as usual, and was surprised by how red Shigaraki’s eyes were. He’d been crying, for a long while. Dabi nodded.
“Anything for you, boss man,” he replied truthfully. He may act abrasive towards Shigaraki, but there was a fondness for him, somewhere deep inside. Shigaraki had accepted him, however slowly, and had given him a place to stay, a family, somewhere he belonged. Maybe that platonic feeling of respect and devotion had turned into something else…something more serious. Seized by a sudden inexplicable urge, he tucked a small portion of Shigaraki’s hair behind his ear. The smaller male turned to him, a soft vulnerable in his eyes that Dabi had never seen before. It made Shigaraki seem…almost fragile. Dabi slid his thumb over a scar on the man’s cheek, frowning slightly. Two imperfect beings, two scarred, broken creatures, adapted to the circumstances of the cruelty they were subject to…so perfect. Almost poetic, how they were frozen together in anarchy, yet the world kept spinning on its axis around them. And they were safe. Safe from it all, because, all though unspoken, now, they had each other.
He never thought Shigaraki would be so soft, so fragile, so carefully built. He wanted to accept Shigaraki as a part of him, to take him in, take his bones, his flesh, his mind and make the two of them one. To protect him through anything and everything, always. He’d break himself to keep Shigaraki intact, he’d never let the world touch him again. When his thought process broke, he looked up, only to find Shigaraki’s face mere inches from his own. The blue haired male exhaled slightly through his lips and Dabi could feel it on his own. Unconsciously, his tongue darted out to wet them.
“Why are you such an ass to me?” Shigaraki questioned bluntly. The flame in Dabi’s palm flickered once, twice, and blew itself out.
“I’m…afraid of what I feel.” The hand that had been holding the flame came to rest on his upper thigh.
“What do you feel?” Shigaraki asked, a note of gentle yet earnest curiosity in his voice. Dabi licked his lips once more, swallowing heavily. Shigaraki seemed much too close…
“Tell me,” he whispered when Dabi failed to answer. Dabi hesitated, visibly struggling before leaning in to capture Tomura’s lips in a gentle, tender kiss. Shigaraki gasped softly, but didn’t pull away, instead lifting his hand to hold the back of Dabi’s neck, pulling him closer. Finally. Finally, they both thought. Shigaraki’s hand came up to brush the stubble on Dabi’s jaw gently, and they were no longer aware of the passage of time. The stars whirled, the sun rose and set, a million years passed, and it made no difference. Their souls merged, never to be torn apart. They pulled away as one, exhaled as one. Their gazes caught each other, holding each other in a silent embrace, one that said everything…and nothing. They never left that place, that space of eternal bliss, where for once, everything was right.
THIS TOOK SO LONG TO WRITE I’M SO SORRY- If you like this story, drop a request for part two, and if you like my work so far, send a request in for another story!! Remember to name the characters (or if an x reader story, who you wish to be paired with) and a situation I can build on; i.e hanging out at the mall. I love all of you, regardless of whom you are and I hope you all have a wonderful October!!

Hi, so I decided to my a list of all the characters I'm willing to write for all the fandoms I write for so it's more convenient for you guys to know what I'll write. I'll link it on my pinned post for convenience. Also yes, a lot of them are in alphabetical order bc I have the memory of a donut so to remember all the characters I could and was willing to write, I just went through the wikis
ALSO!!! If you want me to do characters not on this list, you'll have to buy me a coffee geh heh heh

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): ochako, iida, and kirishima!

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): my dragon wife ryukyu
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): HABUKO MONGOOSE, i went nuts when i found out she made an appearance in bnha smash planning tsuyu's bday party
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): it's ya girl, rat baby (himiko toga). i'm so curious about her current arc in the manga.

Hero names I would change and want your thoughts on: Induplicate for Neito, Mega Empress for Itsuka, Poltergeist for Reiko, Sasquatch for Jurota, Twofold for Nirengeki, Longlin for Hiryu, Airhead for Kosei, Shroom for Kinoko, Satyr for Pony, Silver Strife for Tetsutetsu, Growthspurt for Yui, Overgrowth for Ibara (or mayhe Eden), Punchline for Emi, Lab Rat for Nezu, Oracle for Mirai, K-9 for Ryo, Cool Ghost for Mirio (Lemillion sounds so banal), Energizer for Nejire, and Foodsimile for Tamaki.
Been trying to think of better hero names. For Enji, maybe Hellflame? For Ryukyu, maybe Dragoon. For Shinji, I think Root Lord. Gran could be Master Jet. For Tsunagu, i thought of Denim. For Danjuro, I think Sir Rebound. Shishido could be Lionizer. Selkie should go by Sea Lion. Kurogiri could be Shroud Cloud. Spinner could be Ninja Lizard. Kai could be Matter Master. For Mustard, maybe Gasmaster or Toxin. And for Nana, Float Girl is all I got.
Thought of some (possibly) better hero names, so here goes. For Yo, Shakedown. For Dabi, Froze-Inferno (like frozen and inferno). For Himiko, Carmilla (like the vampire). For Tomura, Oblivion. For Mirko, Luna Rabbit. For Camie, Mirage. And for Tsu, Frogger.
Quirk uograde ideas for Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Dabi: Dabi being able to use black ice, but overuse gives him frostbite. Fuyumi using a mix of ice and fire, similar to a comet. And Natsuo using healing flames (like cauterizing wounds) and healing frost (like ice packs). Hero names would be Froze-Inferno (yes, I'm the same guy as earlier), Comet, and maybe Celsius for Natsuo.
What would Mei's hero name be? I thought of Mechanica, but that sounds kinda basic.
No, I don't like any of these or the last names you suggested. These honestly seem like the knockoff names you find on legally distinct toys. Some of them are okay, but most are either generic, aren't any better then the original, or just clunky. Hero names are supposed to represent the hero in some way. They need to be distinct, marketable, and tie back into the character. The most stand examples are the names of Mirio and Enji. Lemillion, a representation of Mirio's desire save as many people as he can, is banal and should be replaced with "Cool Ghost". Endeavor, a reminder of his impossible task to ever match All Might that is a key point in his character, should just be replaced with his Quirk name.

... run, dodge the Air Cannon and bounce back from Forced Quirk Activation. It seems that Shigaraki is trying to copy the movements of All For One from Kamino. Although he also does not refuse Decay and the  explosion quirk...
... jump from the Decay wave, hide behind the building from the explosion and get away from the laser from the right eye.
"Kacchan. We leave closer to the city, there are more covers."
Shigaraki will definitely hear this broadcast, but Bakugo knows that we will not endanger the civilian and at the moment when Tomura tries to block our withdrawal, we will be able to break ahead...
... send an air attack towards Shigaraki, smash the ground before the Decay wave, grab Kacchan's hand and...
The calculation turned out to be correct, and Shigaraki tried to block the passage to the city, which means...
"KACCHAN, C'MON !!!" and with the explosion of Bakugo and a strike of 45%, we are leaping back to ground zero...
But then he began to choke ...
______________________________________________
How lucky! How lucky I am that the owner of One For All is this small bastard! How will it be worthwhile taking his quirk from him, and then his life, after he interfered with me in the USJ, became one of the reasons why I am considered only an appendage of Stein's ideology, as well as for the destruction of our triumph in Kamino. This is not the whole prize that I will receive for his death! The killing of the  All Might successor, gaining the power that was stolen from Sensei 200 years ago, and also destroying the reputation of the heroes with a final blow to their "golden eggs". This is the same as getting  Royal Flush in the final of the poker game.
Everything would be even better if this brat DON'T! DODGE! FROM! MY! HITS! To get on it is like trying to grab a rat by the tail. Although the comparison with the rat, for this hero, is still a compliment...
"Kacchan. We leave closer to the city, there are more covers."
Great. This bastard thinks I'm falling into such a simple trap. If I try to catch him now, then I will have to protect him from this idiot who didn’t join us when there is a chance. And now, I have a chance to get closer to residential areas where there are still a lot of civilians, so get rid of it explosive Pomeranian nor do I even have to do anything, except using the trick of the enemy, against himself!
... take on an air strike, send the collapse toward the civilians, jump into the "trap" and activate Warping. And then again that heady feeling, when his thin neck is in your hands and you just want to, and he will turn into a bunch of dust. It remains only to pick up One for All.
And again, I feel the warmth that filled me after awakening, but... It stretches, it kicks and breaks out! Now it’s clear why Sensei couldn’t take this quirk. It is reasonable, although not completely... It can take 10-15 minutes, so it’s worth knocking out this bastard and just picking up this quirk bit by bit...
While these thoughts flashed through Shigaraki’s head, his hands lit with lightning, and the caught went into the abyss of his mind...
______________________________________________
Darkness. Previously, there was only darkness, but now there, on the horizon, a white wasteland is visible, which is illuminated by a gray, dim light, which breaks through cracks.
Cracks in One for All.
Cracks in reality.
This is the end.
Cracks go faster and faster from the horizon, and hands are visible right behind them. Hands that expand cracks and absorb this world.
Izuku lost. Izuku couldn't escape from the successor of All For One, and now not only One for All, but all of Japan will be waiting for this wasteland.
He did not fulfill the request of the first, he ...
"Kidou."
These words came from darkness. Swirling darkness that always surrounded and covered him inside a quirk. Continuing to cry, he saw that now not only his fingers, but his whole hand are now not covered in this darkness. He still couldn't speak, but now he felt this world even more real. Even colder.
"Kidou. You mustn't blame yourself. It isn't your fault that your enemies are stronger and more experienced than you. You mustn't blame yourself for not being able to fulfill the request of the First."
These words were warm in Izuku's chest. The warmth that he had forgotten so long ago. The heat that filled it better and stronger, even than 100% One For All.
Tears poured from his eyes, because he had to stop Shigaraki. He was the only one capable of doing this. He...
"You don’t have to do this. You are still a child, Izuku. You are all still children, and they shouldn't have put you in such a situation. They had to do everything themselves and they failed. You shouldn't take the blame for other people's mistakes. You are already a hero, but the hero isn't obliged to solve all the problems that appear by people's actions. People must accept their mistakes and pay for them. And if they aren't able to accept their mistakes, they don't deserve to be saved. And now... Sleep. You need rest."
Izuku tried to refute his words, he wanted to say that everyone deserves to be saved, but the words of this man were echoed in Izuku’s soul. These glories lulled and offered to relax and then everything will pass. They promised hope and trust. They promised protection...
"Sleep, Kidou. Sleep and everything will pass. You mustn't solve their problems. But since they are not able to deal with this problem, I must do it."
The last words of this shadow sounded more like a threat, but Izuku was already fast asleep and there was only a person in his dreams that gave him warmth. A man whose hair was white as snow and his eyes was red as blood...
______________________________________________
Endeavor strove for the place where Shigaraki went. Midoriya said that he would go right behind him, and this conclusion was not a bit wrong.
"Burnin, report!"
"Midoriya Izuku and Bakugo Katsuki left in an unknown direction, while Uraraka Ochako and Shoto Todoroki tried to follow this idiots, but I caught them."
So Katsuki went along with Midoriya? Is he also connected with One For All? Shoto too try to run away. What is One for All and how is it related to All For One? No time to find out.
"Burnin, Shigarki headed for Midoriya. Order for you and all nearby sidekicks - take all students, civilians and injured as far away from this damn mountain! Contact the commission and ask for reinforcements."
"Yes sir!"
Well, we figured it out. Now we need to call the rest of the pro.
"Ryukyu, Crust, Wash! Answer!"
"Wash! Wash!"
"Ryukyu in touch!"
"Where is the Crust?"
"... He died saving us."
Silence hung on the channel of the heroes for a short while.
"Wash, help Burnin and warn everyone you meet that Shigaraki has several quirks. I’m also send off the coordinates. Shigaraki is there, pursuing Midoriya Izuku."
A crazy and inhuman roar filled the sound channel.
"Ryukyu, what was that?!"
"It was not me!"
“Okay, we don’t have time for that. Send as many heroes as possible there and bring the Eraserhead. While Shigaraki is distracted, we have the opportunity to eliminate him.”
And will pray that Midoriya is still not in Shigaraki’s hands...
______________________________________________
It’s easier and easier, pieces of One for All began to ripped out, only 5 minutes remained, and the void that was inside All For One should have been filled. Only 5 minutes, but nothing is ever going to be easy. There is always something that spoils his ideal plans. This time it was Hero No. 1.
"Even a step and the boy will fertilize this lifeless land."
Bluff.
It was a bluff. Shigaraki couldn’t afford to lose One For All. Not now that he was in his hands. So close that it has almost become a part of himself.
Endeavor, stepped back and looked. He was looking for a way to save that brat.
Useless hope.
A little more and it will be impossible to save him...
And then the Cold came.
It was all-consuming and murderous. It promised suffering and torment. It only wanted death...
Shigaraki used the Search to find the source of this cold and he saw darkness in front of him. Where previously there was the brightest light of all possible, darkness and cold now swirled. Something that terrified him more than anything that he had met in his life. Even when Sensei used his Aura on Shigaraki to teach him to resist, it was not so scary ... It was not so hungry. It was not so angry. It didn’t exude such a...
Cold...
Turning off the Search, he saw that the bastard reopened his eyes, but now fear and determination were not read in them. Now there was only a look of the Monster, which was troubled by stupid and weak hunters, who guessed to awaken that which would kill them, and decided how to have fun at their expense...
Not only his eyes changed, but also the color of his right eye and several curls of his hair.
The eye turned red. Pomegranate color. The fruit by which Hades bound Persephone and his underworld. The kingdom of the dead.
Hair turned white. They became even whiter than even Shigaraki’s and they were not snow, but bones. Bones of heroes and villains that gave their lives on the orders of the gods.
Seconds stretched out in a minute, and then in hours. Horror flooded Shigaraki, but this horror was dispersed by the warmth of One for All. The fire that was in the hands of the first man when he burned the forests of all those animals that threatened him...
And then this Monster touched him. He touched his face and all the warmth that was One For All went out. Shigaraki no longer felt the warmth he was just trying to steal. On the contrary, the warmth with which he woke up began to leave him. It left behind only the chill of death, which was getting closer and closer.
Shigaraki tried to activate the Decay.
The decay responded with a good old sense of dust that clogs the face and covers the body. The very disgusting, but so familiar feeling of worms dripping in the body. And so he tried to direct this force, in order to kill this monster.
But the Monster was no longer here. 
There was only PAIN. 
Trying to touch his face, Shigaraki did not feel anything until he touched his brain.
This monster ripped out his face and a piece of skull.
He ripped out his skull.
His...
Skull.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! BASTARD, BITCH, CRUD! YOU RIPPED OUT MY SKULL!"
Turning toward the Monster, he shouted at him in pain and rage. He hated him even more than All Might.
If All Might simply did not save him, then He hurt him. He took away from him what I wanted.
HE ALWAYS CRACKED WHAT I TRIED TO BUILD...
Shigaraki never hated anything so much in his life. Never in his life did he want to destroy something so much.
And now That Something has appeared.
His skull and face grew again, and Monster threw up a piece of his face with a skull several times in his hands and looked at the horizon.
He tossed the skull one last time, destroyed in the air with the help of pure darkness that shouldn’t have existed in this world, and turned around.
His hair was white as snow and his was eyes red as blood.
Instead of the green of the forests and the light of the heavens, the blood of the fallen and the darkness of the depths swirled around him.
The Lord of the Underworld reappeared in this world and now his servants were his victims.
The only thing he said was:
It’s Show Time.

Cryptid of the Day: Ryukyu Kingfisher
Description: The Ryukyu Kingfisher, a 9 1/2 inch bird, lived in Japan’s Miyako Island, but only one specimen was ever collected back in 1887. It’s believed that the bird went extinct due to the introduction of rats to the island. However, some have reported seeing the bird and believe they are still alive.

2020 : Île Amami-Oshima, île Tokunoshima, partie nord de l’île d’Okinawa et île d’Iriomote. Japon
Couvrant 42 698 ha de forêts pluviales subtropicales sur quatre îles d’un archipel situé au sud-ouest du Japon, ce site en série forme un arc à la limite entre la mer de Chine orientale et la mer des Philippines. Le mont Yuwandake, sur l’île Amami-Oshima, constitue son point culminant et s’élève à 694 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer. L’homme est totalement absent du site, lequel présente une grande valeur de biodiversité avec une proportion très élevée d’espèces endémiques, dont beaucoup sont menacées au niveau mondial. Parmi ces espèces endémiques, on trouve notamment des plantes, des mammifères, des oiseaux, des reptiles, des amphibiens, des poissons d’eaux douces et des crustacés décapodes et notamment, des espèces menacées comme le lapin des îles Amami (Pentalagus furnessi) et le rat à poils longs de Ryukyu (Diplothrix legata), qui représentent d’anciennes lignées et n’ont aucun parent vivant dans le monde. 
2020 : 20 inscriptions
Allemagne 3, Arabie saoudite 1, Autriche 1, Belgique 2, Brésil 1, Chine 1, Corée du sud 1, Espagne 1, France 2, Géorgie 1, Inde 1, Iran 1, Italie 2, Japon 1, Pays-Bas 1, Pérou 1, République tchèque 1, Roumanie 1, Royaume-Uni 1, Slovaquie 1, Thaïlande 1, Turquie 1, Uruguay 1.
