I’m actually not sure if there’s any explanation to be had for this part. Shimi is angry to the point of violence which is amplified by her unstable secondary quirk (of which the mechanics I will be updating on her profile,,, sooner or later lmao).

And the reason why Mira had been abusing Shimi the way she had been was for... POPULARITY?! Can you imagine how self-absorbed you’d have to be to do that? Well, Mira is exactly that much.

Of course being shoved around for three years does things to a person, Shimi in this case. Being the target of death threats, other things to cause her injury and harm, loss and destruction of personal property, and thoroughly having her reputation drug through the ground doesn’t bode well for one’s mental state. 

And here we see the first instance of a very dangerous side effect of Shimi’s secondary quirk, Tiger Form. 

A Blind Rage.

There’s also a few hints here relating to her future at UA, mostly that she didn’t make the mark for the Hero Course practical exam.

The year and a half of junior high school are shown here in this comic that will go into detail Shimi’s backstory, just before entering UA High. Mira Monomaneki (not related to Neito Monoma), is a key character in this arc.

         “The school wasn't so bad the girl thought. Yes, it was just fine even if it did have its issues like every other school.”

TW: manipulation, abuse, bullying, death threats

// A story to outline what Shimi had experienced back in junior high (middle school).

Damian: Hey, Grayson?

Dick: What do you need?

Damian: Well, some kids were picking on me today, and not thinking about it, I told Todd.

Dick: Go on...

Damian: He left. I'm worried that he's going to go beat them up or something. Can you go stop him?

Dick: Jason won't hit a child.

Damian: He won't?

Dick: Never.

‼️MP100 MANGA + FINALE SPOILERS‼️

WAIT I JUST REALIZED ok when serizawa and reigen are walking towards mob in the storm, and serizawa says “something traumatic must’ve happened to him. i’ve had a similar experience myself”.

we know he’s accidentally sent his mom flying before, and that he was bullied in school like mob in the mogami arc (he literally says “he’s just like me” when mob shares his memories from mogami land with him), and that this sort of thing is triggered from severe stress + getting severely injured. when teru tries to grab mob the first time he gets sent flying

i think that when serizawa was a middleschooler, someone bullying him must’ve seriously injured him (like when mob gets stabbed by minori and gets her classmates to beat him up and hit him with a cinderblock), he must’ve been knocked out and gone ???%. then when his mom came to try and help him, she got sent flying from the shock just like teru did

considering Hoshino (serizawas VA) said that he nearly teared up a few times during recording sessions, and that everyone gets their own v emotional scene, i really hope that they dive deeper or do a flashback for serizawa when he says to reigen he’s had a similar experience. ALSO the fact that it was brought up again in todays omake, and usually those pertain to what’s going on in the story a little bit.. idk i hope they expand on it teehee

I think the number one worst piece of traditional advice people give about being bullied is to "stand up to the bully."

This only works if you can make a convincing show of force to the bully, if you can convince them that there will be consequences to further attacks.

If you try to bluff a bully and fail (as is very likely, bullies generally have enough social awareness to pick their targets and to get away with bullying), the bully will punish you. Severely. Standing up to a bully with no credible defense or threat gets you pounded.

Instead, gather allies and confront the bully together. Cultivate authorities and destroy the bully's ability to get away with crimes or prohibited actions. Devise asymmetrical ways of retaliating, using any advantages you might possess. If possible, find ways to make your show of force without making an actual counterattack on the bully. That way you can maintain the moral advantage.

Don't escalate. Keep your responses proportional, even restrained, and your mind focused and calm. If you're more aggressive or harmful than the bully, you've either opened yourself up to being seen as the problem, or given the bully a justification to take even more harmful actions against you. Bullies often try to provoke this exact mistake, by getting their targets angry.

If the bully is a powerful group, which can't safely be confronted or resisted, it may be necessary to suffer some retribution, some punishment, and continue to confront or resist anyway, to send the message that no amount of retribution, however violent, will stop your resistance, or change your behavior.
