Subaru in the Neutral Crossroads: "Dead Heroes" Core Story Concept:
Subaru is forcibly dragged into a space between worlds — the Crossroads of Despair — where the remnants of ruined worlds drift.
A mysterious being (could be a shattered version of Satella or something new) tells Subaru:
"The heroes you admired have fallen. Their deaths... are your burden."
Each world is unstable. Subaru must travel through each, confronting fallen heroes twisted by loss, betrayal, and despair.
His mission:
Kill them.
Or be trapped in eternal loops watching the universes collapse.
Fallen Heroes: 🔥 Naruto Uzumaki: "The Beast of Hatred"
Fate: In this version, Naruto confronted Kurama and fully merged with all the hatred he had suppressed — including all the pain of rejection, loneliness, and death.
Result: A monstrous being who believes only fear and absolute control can stop others from hurting each other. He kills any threat preemptively — a god-tyrant.
Abilities: Dark Six Paths power, blackened Kurama mode, creates "Fear Beasts" from people's negative emotions.
His world is a blackened wasteland where villages bow or are annihilated.
🩸 Yuji Itadori: "The Devoured King"
Fate: Sukuna fully devoured Yuji's soul after a moment of weakness.
Result: A mockery of Yuji, where his voice sometimes cries out from his own mouth as Sukuna slaughters innocents for amusement.
Abilities: Full Sukuna powers. Yuji's humanity leaks out in moments of hesitation—his one weakness Subaru can exploit.
His world is a red, cursed hellscape where humans hide underground.
🦊 Gon Freecss: "The Endless Hunter"
Fate: After killing Pitou, Gon couldn't return to normal. He grew obsessed with strength, never stopping to seek greater power.
Result: A remorseless god of hunting who believes anyone weaker deserves to die.
Abilities: Adult Gon form permanently, Nen abilities warped into predatory instincts. Can smell "weakness" and track it like prey.
His world is a giant jungle where survival of the fittest is the only law.
⚡ Izuku Midoriya: "Broken One for All"
Fate: Constant failure, betrayal, and watching heroes fall shattered Izuku's mind.
Result: He hoards the power of all past One for All users, becoming a manic wreck obsessed with "saving" people—by trapping them in endless "safe rooms" he created using Quirk technology.
Abilities: Mutated One for All, Quirk-stealing, berserk super strength.
His world is full of ruined cities where "saved" civilians rot away in prisons of kindness.
🦇 Robin (Teen Titans): "The Tyrant Knight"
Fate: After Slade's influence and betrayal from teammates, Robin embraced authoritarianism fully.
Result: A world where Robin rules a techno-fascist state, believing that heroes must control society utterly to prevent evil.
Abilities: Peak human, dark gadgetry, twisted Slade-tech cybernetics.
His world looks like a shiny utopia... but one wrong move and "peacekeepers" erase you.
Subaru's Challenges:
Emotional Battles: Killing fallen heroes who still retain fragments of their original selves.
Physical Battles: He's hopelessly weaker than any of them; he has to find ways to outsmart, trick, or emotionally reach them.
Return by Death: Every death shows Subaru their world's true history — seeing how each hero fell — torturing him with knowledge and regret.
Corruption Threat: The more Subaru dies, the more the Crossroads tries to corrupt him into joining the fallen.
Bonus Ideas:
Final Twist: Subaru himself becomes a "fallen hero candidate" the longer he stays — forced to fight himself at the end.
Assist Characters: Maybe he finds fallen versions of their allies too—like a dead Sasuke, a broken Killua, a mad Ochako—all giving clues or offering twisted aid.
Team mates: Emilia, Beatrice, Rem, Ram, Meili, Garfiel
