...Every heart has some pain...
who do you headcanon to be older between kudoichi?
yoichi !!!!!!! yoichi is 100% older than kudou atleast in my perspective. and design wise kudou looks younger than him ??
(the white hair doesnt help lol)
plus kudou is described to be a young man by afo (so like its weird to imagine kudou to be older than him -cus he and yoichi are twins- , but like thats my personal headcanon)
forever absolutely unmitigatedly obsessed with dbz romance because we get massive strong alien himbo x ox king's angry chinese daughter, extremely short bald guy who is scared of everything x hot tall blonde robot girl who could kill him in an instant, the alien himbo's nerd infp son x martial arts master girlfriend, selfish & prideful alien prince who answers to nobody x rich mortal bossy wife who orders him around
what more could i ask for
yoichi took one look at kudou, asked ‘is anyone else gonna impregnate that man’ and didn’t wait for an answer
“the moment you reached your hand out to me was when one for all was truly born” not one for all being yoichi and kudous secret love child
"Hey Dad, why did you marry mom?""Well son, when an eldritch goddess beyond human comprehension asks for your hand in marriage, you have few options."
I was doing some research on the attitude towards tattoos in Japan for ADKoT and I have expanded on a fic idea.
You remember my fic idea list for TWoT? Number 7 was: A modern AU where AFO has been secretly scaring off all of Yoichi's boyfriends. It's actually pretty easy as even without his quirk, he's still terrifying. Then one day, Yoichi brings a certain spiky-haired man home, and not only does he look like the rebel bad boy from every father's nightmare (very different from the previous nerdy cowards Yoichi's dated before), but none of his previous tricks can drive him off.
Well, the attitude towards tattoos in Japan is basically: "Hey, that guy has a tattoo" "He's in the Yakuza." This attitude is starting to change in the modern era, but these things take time.
Anyway, imagine if Second had tattoos and stuff, and AFO thinks he's in the yakuza and freaks out because he's actually the BOSS of a yakuza group and is worried Second will rat him out to his brother, who has no idea of about AFO's criminal business.
Second is not in the yakuza, he just got tattoos because A. He thought they looked cool and B. Third is a tattoo artist and he wanted to support his best friend's business. Really, he's just a rebel on a motorcycle with a heart of gold and secret soft side, which is why Yoichi fell in love with him.
But AFO doesn't know this. Cue shenanigans as he tries to prove that Second is in the yakuza without exposing himself as the boss of one.
Rebelichi
Ahora necesito un FanFiction donde Segundo sea el regalo de Navidad de Yoichi.
Yoichi Shigaraki: March 20th, the International Day of Happiness
(I like irony.)
Second: December 25th, Christmas
(He seems like the type to not care about holidays, so I made him born on one. There are some jokes I want to make, but I'll let you think of them.)
Third: September 8th, World Physical Therapy Day
(Best I could find that fit his quirk. Plus, now Yoichi gets to brag about being older than both of his heroes.)
Hikage Shinomori: July 28th, World Nature Conservation Day
(The man lived in a forest. In a different no-quirks AU, he would be a quiet librarian who seems so nice until some evil CEO decides to destroy a forest. Then he hits them with a dictionary.)
Daigoro Banjo: September 17th, International Country Music Day
(Look at him and tell me this isn't a man who listens to country music. He probably had a cowboy phase when he was six.)
En: August 1st, Lung Cancer Awareness Day
(I have a headcanon that his parents both had smoke related quirks, but theirs damaged their lungs. His lungs evolved to handle smoke though.)
Nana Shimura: October 4th, The beginning of World Space Week
(Since she could float, she was probably super into space stuff as a kid. Little Nana in a space suit making a space colony with LEGO. Think about it.)
AFO: June 6th, 6/6/6 so he really is a demon king.
(The only bad thing about this is that Yoichi talks about "catching up to him" every year.)
----
(All Might and Deku are not included because they already have their birthdays revealed.)
I love their relationship so much they both went through so much with Frieza and were very young so they are bonded for life about that. I bet they developed a very protective relationship with each other.
Also I ship them together teehee
La teoría es interesante y está bien elaborada, pero queda un hueco en ella, ¿Como desarrollo Yoichi one for all si la única otra persona con una peculiaridad que permite la transferencia de un peculiaridad de una persona a otra es su hermano?.
¿También experimentaron con Yoichi?.
So, after seeing some of the opinions from my mutuals and think about my own previous theory, I came to a conclusion with how this would fit in the narrative:
First of all, I wanted to mention the obvious, AFO's face.
Many speculated that the reason his facial structure looked different to everyone's else was because he is either White or Hori's heavy reference to Greek gods.
But, now, looking closer at his eyes as he gets younger, he has clear Asian features.
We all know Japanese people tend to retract Chinese people as somehow different, despite the same ethnicity.
So, If AFO truly is Chinese, it would explain his different face structure.
Well, second how this play in what we already know about him?
We all had somehow presumed he had a dark, tragic past, many are already sure he is a orphan.
We all always found weird that Yoichi, who is clearly younger, is named "first son", that could be due to the times hate towards Quirked people, so many presumed AFO was someone disowned or hated by his parents for having a quirk, therefore rejecting him and naming their second child as their first.
But that is a bit too complex, so now we are presented with the possibility that AFO was adopted by a family who already had Yoichi.
If AFO is really Chinese, it would explain why he has the surname "Shigaraki", a clearly Japanese surname.
But.. How did AFO go from China to Japan, to get adopted by the Shigaraki's?
Well, now that's the part I want to fill in with my theory:
We all know humans are shit, if someone is different, their life will be living hell, even in a futuristic society, the surge of quirks caused pain to thousands of quirked people, as we see by the Mother of Quirks story.
There is no doubt that the first quirked child to ever be born, would be experimented on.
This ties well with the fact All for One embraced the belief that he is a monster, to shape his own personality, his desire for control and changing everything to his own liking, as a way to reject back the society that rejected him first, it explains his central beliefs and background for his plans being "Society will always fear and reject the different".
He used that to forge Tomura, and plans to use that to cause chaos. He knows human hate and cruelty deeply.
Ok, we all knew AFO has a tragic past, we all knew he had a though uprising, being treated like a monster, but how it reinforces that he is the very first quirked child, and not just many of the first generation of quirked people who suffered as well?
Good question!
Now, I want to point out a very... Interesting, pattern in MHA.
It may sound a bit extreme, but don't blame me, blame Horikoshi!
1- We see by this panel, on the background, the main University of Tokyo, one of the greatest universities of Japan, which led to the belief that as an adult, AFO was a teacher, or a renewed doctor, a man with a carrier status powerful enough to make hundreds trust him and follow him.
And we know AFO must have been somewhere in the science field, to have met Ujiko, an also renewed doctor.
By the way, it leads to our second point, where things get.... hmm... questionable.
Did you know MHA is banned in China?
It's for a pretty heavy reason, just- the fact Horikoshi named Ujiko Shiga, as Maruta at first.
2- Maruta, is a Japanese term, used during the 2 world war, to refer to victims of human experimentation, mostly Chinese, by the unit 731, the Japanese Nazi facility knows for committing all types of medical atrocities against humans.
At first, I believed it was just a reference to the fact that Ujiko himself is a doctor that experiments in humans, as he creates Nomus, steals and copy quirks, and experimented on many orphans.
But- Horikoshi never do things without a good reason......
Right?
3- We know MHA is heavy in Human experimentation references and sketchy Eugenics logic.
Be it the Himuras building their family up on incest to not "corrupt the lineage"
Be it Shouto being born of a quirk marriage, an attempt of mixing 2 strong genetic lineages to form a new stronger power.
Be it Eri, being experimented on by Overhaul, to create weapons using her powerful mutant quirk.
Be it again, when Ujiko turned his own grandson into a winged nomu, and built thousands of hospitals and orphanages, to collect, and experiment on children.
Following this line... I wouldn't be surprised, if AFO's origin, someone who he himself has very... Fascist, point of views, has a lot to do with human experimentation... Eugenics... and Marutas...
A Chinese baby is born with a "weird feature", sketchy Japanese doctors got somehow their hands on that child, toke him to Japan, and experimented on him.
"Yo this sounds a bit far fetched- u sure u not delulu?"
I DIDN'T FINISH
It would solve the mystery of why a Chinese kid was raised in Japan. Why Hori risked getting his Manga permanently Banned to add a very heavy reference, why AFO is so desensitized with seeing children used in such a cruel way, why his views are full of hatred, and why he wants to change reality to his own needs, so badly, after all- they toke everything from him..... So why not, take it all back, from everyone?
Let's say somehow AFO escaped, he wondered through the streets of Japan, being seen as a monster, neglected, hated...
But for some reason, someone toke him in, the Shigaraki's Now- if the Shigaraki's where really a good family... Things would probably be different.
If the Shigaraki's where also as cruel- there was only one thing keeping AFO there. Yoichi.
All for One mentions multiple times that Yoichi is his only family, his only loved one.
But if they are not biological siblings, why would he care about Yoichi only, but not his adopted parents?
Perhaps the Shigaraki's adopted AFO, with the intention of using his quirks to cure or treat Yoichi's disease, nothing else, but, Yoichi himself was the only one, who ever treated AFO with kindness.
Ok, this all still doesn't explain how he got both AFO and the glow quirk. Just how he came out fucked up in the head and obssessed with Yoichi... BUT WAIT
We know Ujiko is capable of cloning quirks, making new quirks by mixing previous ones (Like happened to Kurogiri) and to implant multiple quirks in one body.
Who's to say, the doctors that experimented on AFO didn't have the same capacities?
What if... All for One, is a human created quirk?
Perhaps, AFO was used to steal quirks from other children, so they could be analized on HIM, or AFO was used as a cure for Quirkness, used by the doctors to remove the quirks of children of desperate parents.
"Ok ok nice, but wtf it has to do with AFO being a teacher or smth?"
Well- Who's better to understand quirks, and medicine, than the experiment himself?
IF, all i said until now makes sense, we can trace a time line.
All for One is born in China, taken to Japan, to be experimented on, the doctors manage to create a new quirk, to use as they please, All for One, as he is submitted to all types of things, but as a very observing child, starts learning as well.
He eventually runs away, maybe he used AFO to destroy the facility, or who knows, and walks alone through Japan, until a desperate family with a sick son, finds him.
OR maybe the head chef of the experimentation team, was Mr. Shigaraki himself, and "adopted AFO", as a form of hiding the experiments from the world, as well to also use him to try to help their only child, Yoichi.
(This would also exmplain why the name "Shigaraki", which literal translaiton mean "Death Grip Tree" or "Death Hang Tree", we know Hori likes to pun around with names, so what surname more fitting for such a horrible person? and the root of all evil. Yeah, i can see Hori naming a human experimentation head chef "death tree")
He grew to become attached to Yoichi, his only momments as a normal child being reading comic books with him. Yoichi, as a kind child, also grew to love his new brother no matter their differences.
Anything is possible, from there on, maybe he grew under Shigaraki's wing, or killed his adoptive family and ran away with Yoichi, whatever..
Keeping all his knowledge, as he grows older, he starts to study medicine, his expertise leading him to Japan's most important university, where he becomes a renewed teacher.... And plans society destruction in secret.
He has lost all emotion and empathy due to the torture he went through, so he uses more children for his own gain, repeating the cycle of abuse.
He at some point meets Ujiko, and with him they grow their empire during Japan's most chaotic times, while in private, he obsessed over the only one who ever loved and cared for him, his adoptive younger brother.
And this is how, All for One, became who we now know.
Also, this all kinda of makes us understand WHY All for One treated Tomura the way he did, he fabricated his own childhood and projected into Tomura, it gives a total new meaning to "he is the next me" besides the possession.
And if the theory that AFO's name is also Tomura Shigaraki, his uprising explain why someone would name a child "mourning" or "funeral" (the literal translation to "Tomura").
