another case of it really not being as bad as it looks. Not only can she sue the news company and the girl for defamation, they still have to make a retraction and public apology before the case even hits the court. Also since it was set up that Shinso's quirk is able to counteract Shido's, he can literally just tell them to remember what Shido told them to forget since Shido's quirk can't straight up erase memories they are just repressed and forgotten, not gone. heck if Shido's actually dead the effects of his quirk should probably be nullified and everyone affected by it should get them back. I imagine the only reason they haven't is because he's technically still alive while turned to stone.
mostly talking about the use of the term murder. there's a reason news teams rarely ever use it, as it implies a killing done with malicious intent. without knowing the full story, any proper news team would have gone for something like "well known teacher dead. Student primary suspect" or something to that effect. to outright call it a murder is jumping the gun for them and will get them sued if the case hasn't gone to court yet. Not trying to be a pain lol, this is just one of the few topics I know more than the bare minimum about. Journalism was a pretty fun course.
UnDeadGent:Very good points my friend, thank you for looking in depth of my story. In terms of suing anyone, everyone involved is unwilling to try and free Shidō until his body is repaired and they don't yet know how to do that so right now they can't 100% prove he's NOT dead so saying she's killed him is fair game for now, however any other piece of slander for example "She did it deliberately" is up for legal repercussions. Unfortunately when it comes to telling the girls to remember the only girl that is a confirmed victim is Chiwa... And Hitoshi can't go around using his Quirk on every girl of the school because that's exactly what people expect him to do. Once again thanks for looking in depth, I look forward to this kinda interaction the most :P
