Luz Noceda, later known as Toshiko Shigaraki, is the titular main protagonist of All For Luz, a dark crossover fic between The Owl House and My Hero Academia crossover fic written by DeathlyJazzHands55.
Unlike her canon counterpart, this Luz is more villainous and anti-heroic. On the day she was meant to go to summer camp, the Human Realm suddenly faces a "Mass Power Awakening Event" where majority of teens and children are given Quirks including her. In this, Luz Noceda gets the infamous power, All For One along with a mysterious voice in her head in which starts mentoring her as she slowly goes down the line of becoming a violent vigilante, fighting against humans, witches, and other superhumans. However, being a Quirk user isn't as great as she thinks it is and over time she changes both physically and mentally for better or worse on her road to becoming The Symbol of Justice and Fear.
Although she's the main protagonist, Luz commits a variety of terrible acts over the course of the story as her more ruthless and troubled personality traits shows itself.
Her Evil Ranking[]
Her Villainous Deeds[]
- When sent to the Reality Check Summer Camp which was turned into a death game between teenaged Quirk users, she came out with the highest body count of 21 fellow campers while stealing their Quirks.
- As Luz hunts them down, it stops becoming killing in self-defense to borderline spree killing as they're no longer trying to murder her but are now running and begging for their lives. During her slaughter, she acknowledges she could stop her rampage and try escape the Death Camp with all her new Quirks to help do so. Instead, Luz chooses to carry on with her brutal killings until all but one is dead and she suffers from "Quirk Overload", nearly killing her.
- In the next chapter, Luz acknowledges she can't bring herself to feel real remorse at her actions, despite recognizing her actions as terrible and trying to feel something.
- Not all the dead kids came back in body bags, but urns because the condition of their bodies was so severe that to the authorities it wouldn’t have been right to show the parents their mangled corpses.
- Amber Stilwell, her old bully, tried to have a go at her at a Donut Shop, only for Luz to fracture in her shoulder blade in retaliation and threaten to do worse if she doesn't leave her alone.
- Luz recalls a time when she punched a cop into a telephone pole for making a racist remark about her mother after pulling her over alleged speeding. Luckily for her, the police officer decided not to press charges, due to her age.
- During the Supermarket Fight, Luz grabs the first gunman by the neck and uses him as a human shield against his comrade's hail of bullets. They go right through his bulletproof vest, killing him. While he was a hired gunman after her, Luz does when she admits it wasn't even necessary for her to do that, considering she has Super Regeneration and Forcefield Projection Quirks. She then proceeds to smack the next gunman so hard with her Super Strength that she caves in his chest, killing him almost instantly, instead of using non-lethal force.
- When she leaves the teenaged hitman Derreck a vegetable after stealing his Quirk, Luz decides to finish him off in form of a quick but gory end via crushing his skull with her Super-Strength powered grip. Millie, who had witnessed Luz kill her comrade, calls her brutality.
- After her cousin Riley Stewardson tries to assassinate her and barely survives, she fires two Forcefield Projections in a fit of rage. One is fired at Millie Ravenclaw who only barely manages to avoid it and then proceeds to smash into the supermarket, destroying it (potentially killing any occupants still inside). The one second one has much more deadly consequences: Unlike Riley, the squad cops sent to arrest Luz couldn't dodge it in time and get full blast of the explosion, killing them all.
- By the time Luz calms down after Riley and Millie escape, she registers the death and destruction she has caused in the space of a few minutes. She feels almost no remorse for cops she just killed, and even having some shades of a Social Darwinist mentality before going on the run.
- On her way to the Wittebane Mega Church, Luz is confronted by another squadron of cops holding her at gun-point. Unimpressed, Luz warns them the last group of cops that tried this didn't work out for them and threatens to do the same to them if they don't back off.
- When her fight against Sophia is stacked against her and has badly damaged clothes, Luz chooses to attack at a nearby high-school girl around her age, called Juniper, and knocks her out to steal her clothes. After stealing her Zero Gravity quirk, she leaves the poor girl unconscious, alone and in her underwear. She rationalises this as needing it more, but its unlikely girl will survive the battle after that. To make it worse, Luz knows the girl from her old school and never tried to bully her.
- When Riley appears and tries to apologies to her cousin for trying to murder her and explain why she did it, Luz is no mood to listen, blames Riley for all the carnage that transpired today, steals her Quirk "Bomb Touch", ignoring Riley's screams of pain and proceeds to kill her with it.
- During her battle with Millie, she accidently shoots down a news helicopter with her Forcefield Cannon, killing all onboard. As their fight continues, some of Luz's attacks send several of the large chunks of rubble to crash down on other occupied buildings, even crushing a few fleeing civilians in the street.
- With Millie at her mercy, Luz interrogates the witch on where Tyler Wittebane is. Millie spitefully tells her he left Gravesfield before the battle even started and she won't be able to find them. Not liking her answer Luz fully intends to cripple her enemy from the waist down with her Spear Fingers so she won't get in her way again, to Millie's horror, instead of outright killing her. Millie is only saved from becoming a paraplegic by Hunter's timely rescue.
- When she lands outside her old school during her fight with The Golden Guard, Luz picks out another target, Tommy, to mug for his clothes, and, seeing he has a Quirk, she decides to steal that too, despite being at her limit. After taking his Quirk, hoodie and shirt, Luz notices she accidently killed him. While Luz expresses some remorse for her manslaughter, its more muted than it should be.
- As her fight with The Golden Guard continues, they accidently destroy Gravesfield High School. Luz's first concern was that there's no one left alive to dump off the excessive Quirk rather than dozens of her former classmates just died.
- While Luz does heal Gilbert from his wounds after he tried to attack her in a case of mistaken identity, she admits to herself if Willow wasn't there, she would've just left her father to bleed out and die even though he was no threat to her.
- When she meets King, he tells her leave, as she's on Owl House property and looking at her makes him angry, or he'll use violence on her. Instead of walking away peacefully, Luz goads the young Titan to come at her with everything he has. The end result of their fight leaves half the forest burned to the ground from her one attack.
Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- While she passes the baseline for killing over 40 people, many of the people she is confirmed to have killed deliberately deserved it and was in self-defense, which downplays how heinous she is. Additionally, she fails the in-story heinous standard to Tyler Wittebane and Governor Rodger Maxwell, both of whom have committed far worse crimes than her.
- She is too tragic for multiple reasons:
- Toshiko Shigaraki was originally Luz Noceda, a friendly and creative girl who was always bullied thanks to her personality and interests, and was forced to go for the Reality Check Summer Camp to conform for everyone's expectations of her, but upon hearing kids around her age awakened superpowers, she is happy that her fantasies were made real. She gained some friends like Julia Wittebane and her teammates when going to the Summer Camp, happy that she is no longer alone. But she lost her best friend Julia and many of her teammates thanks to Governor Rodger Maxwell, who turned the Summer camp into a death camp for Quirk users, and Kennedy Jennkins, who managed to get half of her teammates killed after forming the alliance, leading Luz to take their Quirks and avenge them by killing them back, while succumbing to All For One's influence.
- After being saved, Luz was no longer the same girl after the traumatic experience, and Sheriff Martin Johnson bribed many stored to get her banned from various facilities and even her own school out of revenge for the death of his nephew Cody Johnson (who tried to kill her first).
- She began having vivid and disturbing hallucinations caused by her immense guilt for numerous people she killed.
- After the Supermarket fight she was betrayed by her cousin Riley, who she looked up to, and has to abandon her mother after killing cops and getting her vigilante identity exposed and becomes a fugitive from the law, only for Camila to be killed by Jonah Smith on Tyler's orders.
- She lost her hometown during her fight against the Wittebane assassins, despite her best attempts to save it, leading her to abandon her name of Luz Noceda to take the "Toshiko Shigaraki" after escaping to the Boiling Isles under her sensei's advice.
- After 3 days of processing the events in the Battle of Gravesfield, Luz breaks down into tears and embraces All For One. Even the sociopathic villain like him can't help but feel sorry for her and actually makes a genuine effort to comfort the crying child.
- She's an anti-villainous extremist who targets are supervillains or other dangerous criminals. Luz is also typically nice and kind to good people.
- She is being manipulated by her mentor, All For One, in her most vulnerable states.
- When something goes wrong for Luz, he's right there whispering poisonous thoughts to her that seem like a good idea at the time.
- Its revealed in a chapter that the vestige of All For One has subtly influencing her emotions to do more villainous acts (like killing people and stealing Quirks) that she would normally wouldn't do since The Massacre of Fools. This calls into question just responsible Luz really is for the crimes she commits.
- She is quite honorable:
- Initially, instead of following the "rules" of the Death Camp, Luz and the rest of Alpha Squadron opt instead to tie up the unconscious Cody, who tried to kill them earlier, and just have Luz take his Quirk from him so that he's no longer a threat to them.
- When Stanley blames himself for failing to warn his team about Kennedy. Despite part of her wanting to blame him too for the slaughter of their friends, Luz can't find it in herself to do so and instead tells him its Kennedy and his team that are responsible for their deaths, not him.
- Before Luz plans to wait for the two enemy teams to carry out "The Massacre of Fools", she orders the remainder of her team to flee for their lives and not come back. What's left of new friends are hesitant to leave her alone to face them but comply.
- Emilia tearfully begs Luz for life to be spared during her murderous rampage, claiming she never killed anyone and was never on board with Kennedy's plan to kill her. After hearing her apologize over and over, as well as seeing no falsehood, Luz decides to spare her as the sole survivor of her carnage.
- With over half a dozen cops holding her at gunpoint and Millie revealing her All For One identity and her role in The Massacre of Fools, Luz decides to surrender peacefully to the police before things escalate further until Riley tries to assassinate her.
- When Sophia starts a fight with Luz by firing her Blue Limitless at the squad of cops, Luz intercepts it with her Forcefield Projection. Despite the Gravesfield Police having been the ones who gave her a lot of grief the past month, that doesn’t stop her from trying to save as many lives as she could and keep collateral to a minimum the best she can.
- As Hunter is about to destroy Gravesfield with his strongest attack, Luz does everything she can to try and stop him.
- After she punches Hunter in the face and chews him out for destroying her home, Luz acknowledges her role in the tragedy and states she has no reason to fight him anymore. She decides to leave him be and fly off to Bonesborough.
- Luz's (or rather Toshiko's) first meeting with Amity is seeing the girl falling to the ground after bumping into her and she used her Vines quirk on her because she didn't want to see Amity fall, and then she wished her a good day. Even after everything she's been through, Luz still hasn't lost her sense of kindness and compassion.
- She does genuinely love her mother.
- Despite feeling anger towards her mother for sending her to summer camp, Luz resolves to not lash out in rage but to explain to her calmly about what happened there. She acknowledges Camila doesn't deserve her hate, as she had no idea it was turned into a Death Camp.
- When Jonah and Charlie trick into blowing up Camila's corpse, Luz breaks down into tears believing she just killed her own mother.
- Luz makes her debut as All For One the vigilante Man by stopping a pair of bank robbers, who kidnapped a teenaged girl as their hostage. The subsequent chapters reveal that her superhero persona has gained enough of a crimefighting rep to be noticed and very much appreciated by her community, showing she is On & Off.
- When Gilbert tries to attack her in blind rage, Luz warns the man to not start a fight with her for his daughter's sake as it won't end well but it falls on deaf ears. Toshiko uses her new healing aspect of her "Super Regeneration" Quirk to save Willow's dad, as she doesn't want the girl she noticed to be fatherless because of her. Its this scene that convinces Eda that Toshiko isn't evil like All For One.
- At the end of their fight, Toshiko and King became friends respecting the other's strength and laugh off their scuffle. Eda allows her to stay at the Owl House with Toshiko believing she could start a new, more peaceful life there with the new friends she made.
- Despite being seen as a supervillain, Luz doesn't want to become one, especially like the first All For One, and would rather do good deeds instead, thus putting her in the Grey Zone.
Trivia[]
- Only the original version of Toshiko Shigaraki counts as a Villainous Benchmark. The redux version is much more villainous and sociopathic in nature, and her character arc still ongoing.
