"What kind of bullshit would a story end right here?" Katsuki complained out loud while many others had agreed with him as they were anticipating what was to come next.

"Yeah. Where the fuck is the rest of this universe where the heroes lose their lives?" Shigaraki said in an annoyed tone, which seemed to piss off Katsuki.

"Like you guys will ever win." Kamakiri butted in.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Shigaraki questions, slightly pissed as he glares at Kamakiri.

"It's a common trope with these shitty stories that the heroes would always manage to win in the end. I mean what kind of god would want their universe's story to end badly?" he pointed out.

'Way to break the fourth wall.' JJ pointed out the inside of his head as he blankly stared at him, "Do you want me to name a few?" he then gave a smirk.

"Why would a god want their story to end with a sad note?" Tatsuma questions.

But JJ shrugged his shoulders, "Cause it gets boring", which slightly disturbed the audience members, "I mean, if a person keeps on winning, what's the point of their story then?" as he remembers a certain bald man who is in a depressive state, "What makes universes great is that characters struggle to become better. They work hard to overcome their own obstacles to improve themselves. This is why Izuku is the MC, he essentially started from nothing but persisted and hoped for his dreams to come true." which got many people to stare at Izuku, causing him to go red from shyness as he tries to ask them to not all look at him, 'Although him attempting to be a quirkless hero would be cooler.' JJ thought inside his head as he was slightly disappointed with the development of Izuku in the original universe.

Katsuki remained silent when JJ gave his reasons as to why Izuku was the MC as he couldn't deny that Izuku didn't struggle at all to achieve his dreams.

"So it's good if people struggled?" Dabi asks, slightly irritated, which grabbed many people's attention, "People struggle for your amusement?' he says in a more pissed off tone as if he was tired of everything, "Do you know how much I fucking struggled in my life just trying to please some old fartbag who doesn't give two shits about me at all, but only in his own self-interest?!" as he stood up and yelled out in pain, "Do you know how many people have suffered because they struggled so much that they have given up?!" he yells out some more as Twice and Toga did their best to try and pull him back to his seat but he only shoved them off as he continued, "How many people have turned because they struggled? How many people died because they struggled? How many people have been broken because they struggled?" he cries out blood coming down his tear ducts as he is no longer able to cry.

Many of the villains couldn't help but resonate with his words as they couldn't deny the truth. Many heroes were shocked to hear and see a villain break down like this, while others could sympathize with him as they remembered all the dark times in their lives that they wish they could forget.

Spinner got up from his seat as he walked over to Dabi, "Calm down man. This isn't like you." as he places a hand on his shoulder, which he looks at and takes a deep breath before sitting down.

Toga and Twice looked concerned, wanting to ask if he was okay but he told them to leave him alone in a stern voice.

JJ was also surprised to see Dabi have a mental breakdown like that, but he sighed as he knew that gods are responsible for their own universes, "I'm sorry that you feel like that. But-" but Dabi interrupted.

"Just stop there and play the next universe," he says, sounding completely exhausted while the atmosphere in the room felt really awkward.

JJ couldn't think of what to do next so he only snapped his fingers to get the next universe chosen. The characters above the screen started flipping through multiple letters until they spelled out Fake. There was no response from the audience as the tension in the air was high for anyone to talk.
