History Fanfic / TheUltimateBigBrother

* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: [[spoiler: Junko]] is a TeenGenius, but a sadistic psychopathic who wishes to crush the hope of the Hope's Peak students by forcing them into a [[DeadlyGame Killing Game]]. By contrast, Katakuri is 48 years old, and while he is a pirate, he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who opposes her and genuinely cares for the other students.

* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: Downplayed. [[spoiler: Junko's greatest strength is her analytical ability and manipulation skill]] while Katakuri's strengths lie in being an experienced warrior. However, Katakuri is far from stupid, being skilled at leadership and being incredibly experienced when it comes to [[HopeCrusher people]] like [[spoiler: Junko]].

* BullyingADragon: What Hifumi, Hiro, and Hiyoko do when they try to get a peek under Katakuri's scarf, ignoring the fact that Katakuri is 16 feet tall and rippling with muscles.

*** They're on opposite sides of both BrainsEvilBrawnGood and OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain, with Katakuri being an immensely powerful warrior reaching the age of 50 while [[spoiler: Junko]] is a teenage analytic schemer and ManipulativeBastard.

* CreepyGood: Remember how Devil Fruits are put under [[NightmareFuel/OnePiece Nightmare Fuel]]? This is played for full effect with Katakuri, where his powers are more like a LovecraftianSuperpower. His introduction, while meant to be a childish prank, comes off as more of something out of a horror movie, with a BlobMonster taking human form while releasing a wave of predatory instinct. That's not even mentioning his [[TheStoic stoic attitude]], gargantuan size, unbelievable strength, unfriendly disposition, and [[spoiler: massive trident Mole]]. Many of the students are downright terrified of him, with Mukuro, someone who's faced death several times, having her legs tremble like a newborn fawn. Most of the other students have similar responses, though with more people getting to know him, he is becoming less and less scary to them.

--> [[spoiler: But Akane...the reason why [[DarkAndTroubledPast I told you this was because]], after that day, I declared myself that I will never let my face become the cause of my brothers and sisters getting hurt. Just like you, I trained, fought, maimed, and killed to stay in that perfect light they see me as. That feeling of them was rewarding, I'll tell you that. I was the perfect pillar for them to rely on, I was the most trusted out of everyone, and that was one of the many reasons Mama picked me as her right-hand man. My stoicism, efficiency, tenacity, straightforwardness, strength, and will set a perfect example for the rest of my family to follow, which led to my family becoming one of the biggest powers in my world where not even the government dreamed to mess with us. It was good, very good, almost intoxicating. But alas...like all good things...there's the downside. Because of the high standard, they expect out of me, that made my attempts of pleasing them through my words and actions all the more agonizing. The very thought of living up to their standard as the Perfect Child of the Charlotte Family was anything but tormenting. Day and night, I had to live up to that standard. What makes it worse was that I was the one who placed that curse upon myself. It'll make you extremely stressed out, high-strung, volatile...it's self-destructing. If what I described to you of the feeling of everyone relying on you intoxicating, then the downside will be the toxic side. I barely had time to let myself go. Whenever I do, it's either during my ten-minute merienda, snack time, or the late-night hours. But even then, the constant thought of everyone watching your every move expecting nothing but perfection? It's depressing.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Akane, seeing how strong Katakuri is, challenges him to single combat. When they do fight in Chapter 21, Akane is obliterated, with her getting exhausted with everything she throws at Katakuri, while the Sweet Captain barely breaks a sweat]].

* YouRemindMeOfX: While not said out loud, it's fairly clear that Katakuri sees a lot of [[Characters/OnePieceMonkeyDLuffy Luffy's]] attributes within Makoto: Makoto's will and courage remind Katakuri of the Straw Hat, and he's a MagneticHero like Luffy is.
