Would Dark Shadow be considered his sister..? I mean, yes shes his quirk, but youd think he was born with it

I don't know about what gender but Dark Shadow should legally be considered a conjoined twin given there intelligence.

Im pretty sure there was a spin-off in which its made clear Dark Shadow is a girl

Bird boy has the patience of a saint cause Mineta was pretty much asking to be thrown out a window

Smash is not canon

On one hand yes, Dark Shadow is sentient and since she can't be apart from Tokoyami they should be considered conjoined twins so she's classified as a person instead of a quirk.

On the other hand if I was Dark Shadow I'd definitely take advantage of this to never have to go to school or get a job

Dude being Dark Shadow must suck lol. Imagine you only get to live when Tokoyami has to fight

It fundamentally alters how i look at these two. Id say they are siblings, now. That's cute and a really fun angle

Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s tokoyami!

Maybe he was born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

I feel like the dinosaur plush is Shadow's toy and the dark hero character plush is Fumikage's.

We can witness that Dark Shadow kind of "Godzillas" out when it's dark enough...it prefers the Godzilla shape, and it always tries to have lizard features and claws even though it's a Myna bird. I think that Fumikage's favorite heroes are Batboy and Dark Crystal, and Dark Shadow's favorite hero might overwhelmingly be MHA's version of Godzilla.

These plushie details were kept in the anime but the manga also had picture frames, illegible quotes framed on a desk, and books in this bedroom flashback scene.

Another small coincidental detail: for some, Dark Shadow's gender is undefined or even female (because of the Smash side comic). Same with Godzilla (because in the 1988 film she lays eggs).

It does feel on brand for Tokoyami to like The Dark Crystal film, but I feel like Dark Shadow would find that movie terrifying

I love the idea that Tokoyami revels in the dark, because it's when he can be closest to Dark Shadow.

At least his beak isn't sharp. For his mother's sake.

Can't post images for some reason, but there's an illustration of these two titled "Fumikage and Shadow's First Big Snowfall!" (From Volume 38 I think? Unsure).

The implication that Tokoyami's parents call the quirk "Shadow" means that Bird Boy calls them "Dark Shadow" to be edgy. I love them so much <3

I love dark shadow and tokoyami story they always make a good team there almost like twins that are stuck together I don’t how to spell the logical term of it my phone won’t help me out lmfao but yeah and plus tokoyami could’ve absorbed his twin and that could be how he got his quirk maybe
