History Manga / IsItMyFaultThatIGotBullied

** Shinji enjoyed being a bully and once told his daughter the one being bullied is at fault. Once he finds out Shiori is getting bullied, [[PapaWolf he goes on a war path against all that harmed his little girl.]] Shiori calls him out for his victim blaming logic, but Shinji decides to twist it around and proclaim it’s the bullies who’re at fault. Shiori who [[StagingTheEavesdrop secretly listens in on the conversation]] becomes even more disgusted with him and [[YouAreNotMyFather leaves him for good]]. Aizawa also chews him out since he continues to assert he’s done nothing wrong with his treatment towards the former while feeling enraged at his daughter’s bullies.
** Nagumo’s mother is an anti-bullying activist and claims she’s never forgive bullying, while she’s in denial of the overwhelming evidence of her daughter being an AlphaBitch. She even goes as low as to plead to Shiori to address to a press conference that her daughter is a “innocent victim” like her. Even as Shiori calls her out and makes it clear her daughter is a bully ruining her life, Nagumo’s mother tells her she should open her eyes to the truth. This disgusts Shiori even more and asks her if she had even seen any of the videos proving her daughter enjoyed bullying her without a shred of remorse. Shiori bluntly tells her that it should be her opening her eyes to the truth. Once Shiori leaves, Nagumo’s mother laments that she’s brainwashed by the “lies” told to her, not realizing that she’s manipulated by her daughter’s lies.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Shinji enjoyed being a bully and once told his daughter the one being bullied is at fault. Once he finds out Shiori is getting bullied, [[PapaWolf he goes on a war path against all that harmed his little girl.]] Shiori calls him out for his victim blaming logic, but Shinji decides to twist it around and proclaim it’s the bullies who’re at fault. Shiori who [[StagingTheEavesdrop secretly listens in on the conversation]] becomes even more disgusted with him and [[YouAreNotMyFather leaves him for good]]. Aizawa also chews him out since he continues to assert he’s done nothing wrong with his treatment towards the former while feeling enraged at his daughter’s bullies.

* MamaDidntRaiseNoCriminal: Nagumo’s mother proclaims she'd never forgive bullying and firmly believes her daughter is an innocent and kind girl, completely missing her PsychoticSmirk (something that Aizawa {{lampshade|Hanging}}s) and failing to realize there’s videos of her daughter gleefully bullying Shiori. Her mother is convinced Aizawa is the only that forced the bullying and tries to convince Shiori that her daughter is not the one to hate and should open her eyes to the truth. She goes as low as to ask Shiori to attend the press conference to convince everyone that her daughter is a “victim” like her. Shiori calls her out on this and asks her point blank if she saw any of the videos, stating that it’s her that should be opening her eyes. At the press conference, Aizawa reveals that Nagumo is the one who took the video of stripping Shiori, and calls out her mother for not accepting the glaring facts that she enjoyed being a bully; Yuma makes it perfectly clear with admitting their joy in the bullying. After witnessing her daughter’s VillainousBreakdown, her mother pleads to a journalist not to publish the story to save face but he refuses.

** Nagumo Ai presents herself as a sweet innocent girl to both her classmates and her parents. In reality she is an AlphaBitch who bullies Shiori because [[spoiler: [[GreenEyedMonster she is jealous of her father's high status]] and [[MisplacedRetribution Yazaki-sensei promoting Shiori to the main team after sleeping with Shiori's father]]. The mask slips off after she gets exposed on social media as the bully she really is but she still pretends to be sweet and innocent to her parents, hoping they will turn things back for her and protect her from the consequences of her actions. Once it turns out, the mask she wears for them also slips off, revealing the SpoiledBrat within.]]

* DotingParent: {{Deconstructed}}.

** PlayedWith. Shinji might be a prick who hates Aizawa, but even he balks at the idea of killing him, simply to get him off his back. Come his VillainousBreakdown and he fully loses those standards even trying to organize a hit on Aizawa [[spoiler: not knowing it was a {{Frameup}} by Aizawa to make him lose his job]].
** He hates his wife for [[BabyTrap trapping him and forcing them to settle down]], but he eventually comes to genuinely love their child. But due to their strained marriage, he has an affair with Yazaki. When he comes home, he’s genuinely horrified to discover her in the bathtub with slit wrists. Subverted when he runs off to call an ambulance since he’s mostly worried over his promotion and confused over her chilling words of how she trusted him. [[OhCrap Then Shiori walks up]] and Shinji desperately tries to protect her from witnessing her mother on the brink of death then rushes to his wife’s side to bandage her wrists. Shiori does reveal the parent-teacher meeting and Yazaki meeting them by chance, horrifying Shinji since she likely found out the truth, but denies any knowledge to not traumatize Shiori any further.

** Again PlayedWith Nagumo, the leader of the GangOfBullies who is understandably creeped out when she realizes the full extent of Yazaki's MadLove towards Shinji. That being said, however, she is more than willing to use said MadLove in order to manipulate her into helping her get back at Aizawa.

* EvilFormerFriend: Yumi Yoneda to Shiori. She starts up by being her best friend and moral support. She ends up fully joining the GangOfBullies in abusing Shiori [[spoiler: and even helping Nagumo recover the ShamefulStrip video, Shiori deleted in a previous chapter, ''fully excited to actually destroy Shiori's life'']]!

* EvilMakesYouUgly: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Yumi joining in on Shiori's bullying doesn't significantly change her outward appearance, but it makes her facial expressions creepy and despicable [[spoiler: as Yumi herself admits to Shiori after carefully watching the bullying video Shiori posted on social media]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: {{Defied|Trope}}. Aizawa doesn't believe in Karma. He believes in irrevocably screwing those that have wronged others by destroying their lives, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard often by manipulating them into doing it themselves]].

-->'''Aizawa:''' (To Shinji) You've raised a very kind girl... one who understands the pain of others. You should be very proud, ''since she is nothing like you!''

* ReformedBully: Played straight with Yumi, who becomes TheAtoner by the end of the story and {{averted}} with Takano and Satake who are still horrible people [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk that only pretend to be sorry to get Aizawa off their backs]].

** It's unclear who recorded Shiori's ShamefulStrip video. Chapter 8 reveals [[spoiler: it was Nagumo Ai]].
** Aizawa sensei is AmbiguouslyEvil for a big part of the story.[[spoiler: In chapter 15 it is revealed he is on Shiori's side and was just allowing things to happen to gather more evidence]].
* RevengeByProxy: Subverted. At first it seems like Aizawa lets the bullies freely abuse Shiori in order to get back at his former bully. [[spoiler: Even though he was really gathering evidence to expose Shiori's bullies, he admits that he let the abuse go on longer than he should have, because he couldn't help seeing parts of Shinji on her]].

** Shinji starts the story being a highly successful banker, on a fast-track for a promotion and becoming the bank's next [=CEO=]. By the time Aizawa finishes with him, he is an unemployed wreck forced to live in his car.
** Nagumo's parents are highly successful rich individuals who built their reputations on fighting bullying. Her mother’s attempt to cover up Nagumo's bullying by scapegoating Aizawa backfires and they end up losing their jobs and their house.

* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: {{Averted}} hard. Aizawa received more physical bullying, while Shiori more psychological and social. Both end up becoming highly messed up individuals and will carry the weight of their abuse for the rest of their lives. Shiori has the mental fortitude to forgive and move on, Aizawa... [[ByronicHero not so much]].

** Shinji's bullying of Aizawa [[spoiler: is what prevents Aizawa from stopping Shiori's bullying sooner, since he admits that he saw a lot of her father in her. He does ultimately help her stop the bullying by getting revenge on her bullies, but not before Shiori is almost DrivenToSuicide]].
** In the case of Nagumo, the trope is {{Inverted}}. Her actions end up destroying the lives of her parents.

* ThisMeansWar:When Shinji [[RedemptionRejection rejects Aizawa's final offer to apologise to him and brags about his bullying, ''after'' he finds out about his daughter's bullying]], Aizawa calmly informs him that he will never again have a moment of peace in his life. He then proceeds to completely destroy everything Shinji values in his life over the course of the final five chapters.
* TrojanHorse: The phone Nagumo Ai has turns out to be this. [[spoiler: It was given to her by Aizawa who also installed spyware and key-logging software on it to keep track of her actions and also hand over its control to Shiori in order for her to save herself and expose her bullies]].

** Shinji dumping Yazaki after she taunts his wife with their affair, which nearly got herself killed and traumatized their daughter was definitely a good call on his part. His ReasonYouSuckSpeech wasn’t exactly pleasant, but it was only after listening to Yazaki believing that yes, Shiori will certainly hate her once she finds out the truth, but wants to “explain” with Shinji of their “love” so that it would make her understand how serious they are together.
** Nagumo has legit reasons to hate her coach, Yazaki, since she left her out on most of the basketball club as a means to win over Shiori and marry her father. They form an alliance to take down Aizawa, but once it comes crashing down and Yazaki demands the photos of her together with Shinji, Nagumo laughs it off and calls her out for wanting to use the photos to force the affair to continue. Nagumo [[EvenEvilHasStandards considers this behavior disgusting and rightfully calls her a stalker]]. Once Yazaki tries to attack her, another teacher pulls her back; Nagumo further taunts her by pointing out she should act her age. She’s not entirely wrong with criticizing Yazaki’s behavior since it is immature and wrong for her to chase after a married man who also happens to be her student’s father.

** Riho Takahashi has gone into full-on paranoid depression, drops out of school and [[spoiler: ends up becoming a {{Hikkikomori}}]]
** Reina Himekawa has also dropped out of school and was last seen [[spoiler: hanging out with "a rough crowd", the implication being that she became a {{Streetwalker}}, given her flashing clothing and her closeness to the men]].
** Nagumo Ai's life [[spoiler: got completely destroyed after the events of the story. Her parents lost their jobs and moved out of town in shame, trying desperately to find a place where their faces aren't recognized in order to start a new life there. In the last panel we see her, she has a ThisIsGonnaSuck expression painted on her face]].

** Yumi Yoneda managed to get into a a good High School, it is still however a ''public'' one and rumours about her and will start and spread in an instant once the new term starts, since her shameful actions are still somewhere on the internet. Yumi admits she will most likely have to live the rest of her life with people constantly talking behind her back, [[TheAtoner she is however more than willing to accept that and carry on]]. She has one final meeting with Shiori and Yumi parts with her on good terms, the final image we see of her being [[WhenSheSmiles a warm genuine smile]].
** Shinji is wheelchair bound after his last encounter with Aizawa and currently in recovery. Prideful and remorseless as ever, he is making huge amounts of money in the stock market. He plans on making his own company in order to FinancialAbuse his way back into Shiori's life. [[spoiler: And then Nomura-san, the person he has been putting down and refusing to financially help for the entirety of the story shows up completely broken, fully intent on [[DrivenToSuicide ending his own life]] and [[TakingYouWithMe taking Shinji with him]].]]
** Aizawa has cut all contact with Shiori, but still receives her messages. [[spoiler: Even though he has put Shinji behind him, he has decided his to dedicate his life [[BullyHunter hunting down bullies and helping their victims get back at them]]. The last few pages showcase him helping out an adult man DrivenToSuicide by his bullies and offering him a helping hand]].

* AllTheOtherReindeer: Both Aizawa and Shiori become socially isolated and treated as an outcast due to the bullying they receive. Shiori eventually finds AFriendInNeed in Manaka, but Aizawa never had any such luck.

** Whenever Shinji does horrible things to Aizawa (such as burning his skin with cigarettes and chiseling the word "trash" on his arm), [[{{Sadist}} he gets a warm happy feeling inside]].

* BulliedIntoDepression: Happens to Aizawa, Negishi and Nomura. None of them get over it. [[spoiler: Negishi becomes a NEET, Aizawa becomes a dedicated BullyHunter and Nomura decides to [[DrivenToSuicide end his own life]] and [[TakeYouWithMe Shinji's]].]]

* BaitTheDog: A seemingly innocuous event in chapter 4 turns out to be this. The day after Shiori received the sleeping ShamefulStrip strip video by an anonymous sender, she overhears Himekawa and Nagumo talking about a video they received on social media, further commenting "How do you not wake up with someone doing this to you?". This causes Shiori knocking the phone out of Nagumo's hand. It turns out it was just a sleeping prank video. Seems innocent enough except [[spoiler: it was Nagumo herself who recorded and anonymously sent sent the video, meaning she was deliberately having this conversation in order to trigger a reaction out of Shiori]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: Shinji enjoyed being a bully and once told his daughter the one being bullied is at fault. Once he finds out Shiori is getting bullied, [[PapaWolf he goes on a war path against all that harmed his little girl.]] Shiori calls him out for his victim blaming logic, but Shinji decides to twist it around and proclaim it’s the bullies who’re at fault. Shiori who [[StagingTheEavesdrop secretly listens in on the conversation becomes even more disgusted with him and [[YouAreNotMyFather leaves him for good]]. Aizawa also chews him out since he continues to assert he’s done nothing wrong with his treatment towards the former while feeling enraged at his daughter’s bullies.

** Aizawa did report the bullying he received to his homeroom teacher. The teacher proceeded to just give a warning to Shinji and his Gang of Bullies, after they shed CrocodileTears, allowing them to continue escalating their abuse of Aizawa until he eventually drops out of school.

** Once her GangOfBullies act “concerned” over her wellbeing, they taunt her with a drawing of herself witnessing her mother’s attempted suicide. Shiori gives Naugumo the BitchSlap and shames her for, well, [[TeensAreMonsters being what she is.]] Nagumo is furious at this and attacks Shiori, while the rest of the gang make it look like they’re only trying to apologize while hiding the drawing. They try to force Shiori into apologizing while chanting, and the rest of the class follow suit. Shiori cuts them off and shames them all for being bullies and the rest of the class for doing nothing.

* ShamingTheMob: Shiori does this twice to her classmates.
** Once her GangOfBullies act “concerned” over her wellbeing, they taunt her with a drawing of herself witnessing her mother’s attempted suicide. Shiori gives Naugumo the BitchSlap and shames her for, well, [[TeensAreMonsters being what she is.]] Nagumo is furious at this and attacks Shiori, while the rest of the gang make it look like they’re only trying to apologize while hiding the drawing. They try to force Shiori into apologizing while chanting, and the rest of the class follow suit. Shiori cuts them off and shames them all for being bullies and the rest of the class for doing nothing.
** The class is quick to turn on the bullies after they are doxxed and ConvictedByPublicOpinion. They attempt to justify being an AccompliceByInaction to Shiori by claiming they didn't notice she was being bullied. Shiori rightfully calls everyone out on their SelectiveObliviousness.

** Not only does Shinji [[ParentalObliviousness not notice his daughter is being bullied]], his BlamingTheVictim mentality towards bullying and hisDotingParent behavior actively makes Shiori's problem a lot worse.

** Shinji and his wife fail to notice that their daughter is being bullied, even when she makes it completely clear that she is having a really bad time at school. In fact, Shinji's assertion that [[BlamingTheVictim bullying victims deserve to get bullied]] makes Shiori's situation a lot worse.
** Yazaki does notice that something is wrong with Shiori, but doesn't interfere because the tryst she has with Shinji acts as a deterrent.

** Aizawa at some point reports his bullying to a school counselor. The GangOfBullies gets away with it by shedding some CrocodileTears and continues abusing Aizawa like nothing happened.

** Manaka later tells Aizawa that everyone is now scared of social media because of what happened with Shiori and tries to invoke BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor on Aizawa. Aizawa responds by sayind that while the situation is not optimal, it definitely beats childred getting bullied like he was in the past.

** Himekawa tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this on her fellow students of her class, telling them that they are just as guilty, since they saw what her and the GangOfBullies were doing and chose to do nothing. The rest of the class responds by telling her not to lump her with the likes of her, since they never did actively do anything cruel to Shiori, also commenting on the fact that Himekawa's mother is a former delinquent. It's then that Aizawa walks in the classroom and calls her out on being a {{Hypocrite}}.
** Shiori later [[ShamingTheMob calls out her entire class]] on how quick they were to condemn her bullies after they were publicly exposed [[SelectiveObliviousness while pretending nothing was going on]] ''when Shiori was actually being bullied right in front of them''.

* SelectiveObliviousness: Everybody in Shiori's class chooses to completely ignore the bullying she receives by Nagumo, [[AccompliceByInaction even when it's right in front of them]]. After the GangOfBullies gets ConvictedByPublicOpinion and the class turns on the bullies, [[ShamingTheMob she rightly calls them out on this]].

* ShamingTheMob: The class is quick to turn on the bullies after they are doxxed and ConvictedByPublicOpinion. They attempt to justify being an AccompliceByInaction to Shiori by claiming they didn't notice she was being bullied. Shiori then rightfully calls everyone out on their SelectiveObliviousness.

** Aizawa did report the bullying he received to his homeroom teacher. The teacher proceeded to just give a warning to Shinji and his Gang of Bullies, after they shed Crocodile Tears, allowing them to continue escalating their abuse of Aizawa until he eventually stopped coming to school.

** Shiori later calls her entire class out on this more successfully.

** Takano and Satake, the former members of Shinji's GangOfBullies, gladly throw Shinji under the bus once Aizawa gets on their case. Shinji's SmugSnake and ProudPeacock attitude definitely didn't help matters.

* ConvictedByPublicOpinion: [[spoiler: The eventual fate of the GangOfBullies and later Shinji, after they get publicly outed as cruel ruthless abusers. Nagumo's parents also suffer this after being doxxed, which causes them to lose their jobs ''and literally go into hiding''.

** Himekawa tries to {{invoke|Trope}} this on her fellow students of her class, telling them that they are just as guilty, since they saw what her and the GangOfBullies were doing and chose to do nothing. The rest of the class responds by telling her not to lump her with the likes of her, since they never did actively do anything cruel to Shiori, also commenting on the fact that Himekawa's mother is a former delinquent. It's then that Aizawa walks in the classroom and calls her out on being a {{Hypocrite}}.

* RedemptionRejection: After Shiori's bullying is publicly exposed, Aizawa confronts Shinji one last time, offering him the chance to think back hard about his previous actions, sincerely apologise and rethink his BlamingTheVictim mentality. Shinji rejects it choosing to act like a SmugSnake intsead. [[spoiler: Given that his daughter was [[StagingTheEavesdrop secretly listening in on the conversation]], he really should have accepted it. Both Aizawa and Shiori then decide he is BeyondRedemption]].

** Similarly, Nagumo's father lost his job and Nagumo's mother is no longer invited (and consequently paid) to give speeches about bullying.

** Shinji did this once to Aizawa, and then he threw balls at him knocking out two of his teeth.

* ThisMeansWar: When Shinji rejects Aizawa's final offer to apologise to him and brags about his bullying, '''after''' he finds out about his daughter's bullying, Aizawa calmly informs him that he will never again have a moment of peace in his life. He then proceeds to completely destroy everything Shinji values in his life over the course of the final five chapters.

** Nagumo has reason to hate her coach, Yazaki, since she left her out on most of the basketball club as a means to win over Shiori and marry her father. They form an alliance to take down Aizawa, but once it comes crashing down, Yazaki demands the photos of her together with Shinji from Nagumo. She laughs it off and calls her out for wanting to use the photos to force the affair to continue. Nagumo considers this behavior disgusting and rightfully calls her a stalker. Once Yazaki tries to attack her, another teacher pulls her back; Nagumo further taunts her by pointing out she should act her age. She’s not entirely wrong with criticizing Yazaki’s behavior since it is immature and wrong for her to chase after a married man and her student’s father.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The final chapter, through means of a conversation between Manaka and Shiori shows us what happened to GangOfBullies. We also get information about Shiori's future and see what eventually became of Aizawa and Shinji.

** Aizawa did report the bullying he received to a school counselor. The counselor proceeded to just give a warning to Shinji and his GangOfBullies, after they shed CrocodileTears, allowing them to continue abusing Aizawa until he eventually stopped coming to school.
** Shinji and his wife fail to notice that their daughter is being bullied, even when she makes it completely clear that she is having a really bad time at school. In fact, Shinji's assertion that bullying victims deserve to get bullied makes Shiori's situation a lot worse.

* AllTheOtherReindeer: Both Aizawa and Shiori become socially isolated and treated as an outcast due to the bullying they receive.

** The unshakeable belief of Nagumo's mother that her daughter is nothing but an innocent angel is what prevents from understanding that she’d bullied Shiori out of her own volition. She chooses to scapegoat Aizawa instead.

* EngineeredPublicConfession: Nagumo's mother and the School principal try to do this to Aizawa in order to save face. [[spoiler: They didn’t count on him having video evidence, also showcasing [[PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars the scars he had from bullying all those years back]] and they certainly don't count on Yumi breaking down and confessing to what she did to Shiori]]. Needless to say, it backfires horribly on them.

** As for his affair with Yazaki? He only sees her as a walking sex toy, but even he’s put off whenever Yazaki believes Shiori would accept her as her new mom, and continuing this hopeful thought after her mother nearly kills herself because Yazaki taunted her with the affair. This was the final straw for Shinji and dumps her.

* EvilMakesYouUgly: A subversion. Yumi joining in on Shiori's bullying doesn't significantly change her outward appearance, but it makes her facial expressions creepy and despicable [[spoiler: as Yumi herself admits to Shiori after carefully watching the bullying video Shiori posted on social media]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During their final confrontation, Aizawa advices Shinji to keep looking over his shoulder, because he is such a big bully he probably created many other people like Aizawa. [[spoiler: This is how Shinji meets his end in the final chapter]].
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: After Yumi publicly confesses her shameful actions on public television, and she sincerely apologizes to Shiori, Shiori reminisces about their friendship and forgives Yumi, telling her that she doesn't want to hate her anymore. However, she also tells her that she irrevocably broke her trust and that they can never be friends again. Yumi accepts that and the two part on good terms.

** The first one is comprised of Aizawa's original abusers, Shinji Suzuki, Satake Yuji and Takano Ryoko.

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Most definitely the "bad" variety in both instances

** Himekawa-san, one of Nagumo's cronies, hates Shiori with a passion because she openly talks with Manaka-kun, the object of her one-sided crush. Ironically, it's Shiori being outcasted by the girls that makes her talk to Manaka in the first place.

* HumiliationConga: Shinji suffers a really long and satisfying one during the final chapters of the series. [[spoiler: First, his daughter calls him out on his attitude and his BlamingTheVictim mentality. Then his attempt to bribe and manipulate Yazaki into mending his relationship with Shiori [[HoistByHisOwnPetard horribly backfires]] and Yazaki shows up at his workplace in full PsychoExGirlfriend mode causing a scene. Then Aizawa hijacks the printers and exposes him as an adulterer which leads him to lose the promotion he was looking forward to. Then he gets doxxed as Aizawa's brutal childhood bully which leads to his boss chewing him out and his coworkers losing all respect for him, making him a pariah at work as he watches the promotion go to someone else. Then he returns home to find his his wife who calls him out on his DomesticAbuse and LackOfEmpathy before serving him divorce papers. Then he tries to arrange a hit on Aizawa which ends up being a {{Frameup}} that costs him his job. Then he tries to kill Aizawa himself but can't bring himself to do it (because he is afraid Shiori will get bullied worse when her father becomes a murderer) which ends up crashing his car and injuring his spine. Aizawa then approaches the injured Shinji and lights up a cigarette, fully intent on blowing both of them up. Shinji then [[AintTooProudToBeg pathetically begs Aizawa not to kill him while tearfully apologizing to him for ruining his life]].]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Shinji enjoyed being a bully and once told his daughter the one being bullied is at fault. Once he finds out Shiori is getting bullied, [[PapaWolf he goes on a war path against all that harmed his little girl.]] Shiori calls him out for his victim blaming logic, but Shinji decides to twist it around and proclaim it’s the bullies who’re at fault. But Shiori is even more disgusted and leaves him. Aizawa also chews him out since he continues to assert he’s done nothing wrong with his treatment towards the former while feeling enraged at his daughter’s bullies.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Shinji does at some point realise that what happened to his daughter was his fault, but refuses to accept it and it doesn't take him long to go back to his SmugSnake ways.

-->'''Aizawa:''' (To Shinji) Congratulations. You managed to raise an amazing person. Shiori is a incredibly kind girl. You should be proud of her. ''Since she is nothing like you!''

* MamaDidntRaiseNoCriminal: Nagumo’s mother proclaims she’s never forgive bullying and firmly believes her daughter is an innocent and kind girl. She fails to realize there’s videos of her daughter gleefully bullying Shiori. Her mother is convinced Aizawa is the only that forced the bullying and tries to convince Shiori that her daughter is not the one to hate and should open her eyes to the truth. She goes as low as to asks Shiori to attend the press conference to convince everyone that her daughter is a “victim” like her. Shiori calls her out on this and asks her point blank if she saw any of the videos, stating that it’s her that should be opening her eyes. At the press conference, Aizawa reveals that Nagumo is the one who took the video of stripping Shiori, and calls out her mother for not accepting the glaring facts that she enjoyed being a bully; Yuma makes it perfectly clear with admitting their joy in the bullying. After witnessing her daughter’s VillainousBreakdown, her mother pleads to a journalist not to publish the story to save face but he refuses.

Shinji then [[AintTooProudToBeg pathetically begs Aizawa not to kill him while tearfully apologizing to him for ruining his life]].]]

* ContrivedCoincidence: During their penultimate encounter Shinji tries to make the claim that [[ThereAreNoCoincidences Aizawa somehow pulled some strings to become Shiori's homeroom teacher]] and use her to make his point. Aizawa calmy informs him that he is a ''public'' teacher and he doesn't have a say in which students are assigned to him. Being Shiori's homeroom teacher really was a coincidence.
