Curate, connect, and discover
Was going through my videos on Kinemaster and decided to experiment & add more effects that could be applied to this :)
This is sadly not really an animatic, but moreso something to capture the vibes of my MHA Creature Symbolism au - ☆
Inko Midoriya - Unicorn
Hisashi Shigaraki (AFO) - Eastern Dragon
I really like the irony of the AFO being Izuku's dad theory. So many ways this could be executed. Here, the divorce between his parents is messy.
Inko asked herself how long could she turn a blind eye to what Hisashi could be up to - until that was answered with his offer to have him and her involved in being the Demon Lord rulers of the world, with their son as their heir.
Despite stating that she wouldn't have to be involved with his villainy, it doesn't go as plan for him.
Song: "Savage" - Bahari
Izuku Midoriya grew up believing he lived a good life. He was always full of energy, obsessed with the hero world, and desperately wanted to be friends with everyone.
One thing that set him apart from his peers was that his father was an interesting character. Inko and Hisashi Midoriya seemed to balance each other. Inko was sweet and stern. Hisashi was sour and childish. Izuku often used that to his advantage.
Hisashi was mostly absent from Izuku’s life. Sure, Hisashi was always around, but he never behaved the way a father should have. It seemed as if entertaining Izuku was nothing but a burden and an inconvenience. Given the task of receiving his father’s love, Izuku did anything in his power for an ounce of attention.
Fear of abandonment was the driving force of Izuku’s childhood. That followed him to his teen years.
Now that Izuku was attending the U.A. High, the best hero school in Japan, the “cracks” in his perfect personality were on display. He took up a lot of the traits that made up his mother. He was sassy, goofy, nerdy, stubborn, compassionate, loving, and talkative.
When the first war hit and everyone was scrambling, it seemed that his upbringing came to a head.
If it had only been Inko in the picture, he could have consoled his crying mother before escaping U.A. High to take the target off the school. But Hisashi was also in the picture, and he was able to keep a better leash on his son.
For the first time in his life, Izuku wanted nothing more for Hisashi to avoid him again. Maybe Hisashi was just showing face for Inko. At least that was what Izuku was trying to convince himself.
With each hour that passed once he woke up, Izuku grew more antsy. He had already finished his goodbye letters to his classmates. On top of that, he talked to Toshinori, Gran Torino, and the pro heroes he’d be working alongside when he went on the run.
When news reached class 1-A that the pro heroes were going to be doing something and that Izuku was involved, the group decided to invade his hospital room. They had no plans of letting their friend go through this battle alone.
“That idiot!” hissed Bakugo as he stormed down the hallway, leading the group of his classmates.
“Why didn’t he talk to us,” wondered Todoroki quietly, right on Bakugo’s heels.
Uraraka sighed, focusing on the door numbers. “This is Deku we are talking about. He never talked about his troubles.”
Right beside Uraraka was Iida. He let out a huff as he commented, “It’s rather concerning that he's getting involved in something big and we aren’t informed about it.”
“I’m sure everything will be okay once we talk to Midoriya guys,” reassured Kirishima, not believing what he was preaching.
“Yeah! Midoriya is impulsive, but he wouldn’t do something too reckless,” agreed Kaminari, feeling rather optimistic about the entire situation.
Jiro shook her head, mumbling, “That has to be the dumbest thing you’ve ever said. This is Midoriya we are talking about. He’s always being reckless.”
Mina smiled at Jiro, feeling a bit better with the lighthearted banter. “Let’s just hope we can talk to him about what we have been hearing and get some answers.”
Less than ten seconds later they reach his room. Right as Bakugo was about to blast the door open, his anger vanished. Shouting could be heard from inside the room.
“What are you saying? We are in the middle of a war!” shouted Izuku.
The entire class quickly huddled by the door; Jiro used her quirk to help them eavesdrop as well.
“Here are some things a war needs Izuku. Conflict, stakes, a way to benefit, and clearly you staying here to rest and train for the inevitable second wave,” listed Hisashi in a couldn’t-be-bothered tone.
“But the villains are after me! Targeting the people I care about and eating babies,” argued Izuku, not understanding why Hisashi wasn’t understanding.
Bakugo and Uraraka shared a confused and disturbed expression. Iida and Todoroki shrugged considering Izuku often said crazy things out of seemingly nowhere.
Hisashi seemed to be munching on something as when he began to speak, it was clear something was in his mouth. “Yeah. Thankfully that’s not our problem. It’s time to pull the plug.”
“Pull the plug?” spat Izuku in disbelief. He couldn’t believe how selfish his father was being. Deciding to let it all out, Izuku attacked, “I have to protect my friends and save the hurting child inside Shigaraki! I have to do the right thing! Do what you never did as a dad! Put in a little effort.”
Class 1-A was officially panicking. Not once had Izuku ever mentioned having family problems or a bad relationship with his father.
Todoroki couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. After all, Izuku helped him through his family troubles, childhood trauma, and his generally bad relationship with his father.
Bakugo on the other hand was pissed off. If he had known that Hisashi was a piece of shit father, he would’ve gotten his parents involved. After all, Mitsuki adored Inko and would do anything for her.
It seemed that the rest of the group was eager for answers considering something like this was so out of the blue. The conversation was emotionally charged on Izuku’s end, but Hisashi seemed to care less.
“Alright, cut the high road routine. We both know about Shigaraki’s shitty situation and how he now has All for One. You accepted One for All, the only quirk that can defeat him. Shigaraki’s pathetic life is in your hands. You go save him,” taunted Hisashi, clearly proving Izuku right. He didn’t put in any effort in supporting his kid.
Bakugo glared at the door. He was tempted to bust it down and blast Hisashi to hell. Despite never interacting with the man before, he made up his mind that Hisashi was an insufferable asshole he didn’t want to be bothered with.
Todoroki on the other hand was still caught off guard by Hisashi’s words. All for One and One for All were mentioned. Shigaraki had AFO and Izuku had OFA. They were opposites and destined to battle one another? Uraraka caught on as well and felt the fogginess in her mind clear up a bit.
“So, you refuse to let me leave, but you want me to save Shigaraki? You’re really going to believe that I, your son, can’t be trusted with pro heroes?” interrogated Izuku, more than happy to point out the flaws in his father’s hurtful comments.
“Yes, Izuku. I don’t trust you. Because you’re not my son,” shouted Hisashi, fed up with the conversation.
Kirishima gasped, appalled by such a cruel thing for Hisashi to say to his son. Uraraka shook her head, a pang of guilt eating her up inside with the knowledge that Izuku had to deal with Hisashi for his entire life.
Todoroki had flashbacks to the things his father would say to him out of anger. Endeavor loved using the phrase “If you can’t do ____ then you’re no son of mine”. It seemed Hisashi was close to no better than Enji.
Bakugo’s hands twitched as the fabric of his school uniform was singed. The blood rushing through his veins was overwhelming, but it didn’t compare to the nightmarish thoughts running through his head. He wanted to kill that bastard. Izuku was an incredible person and the fact Hisashi couldn’t see that was crazy.
Much to everyone’s shock, Izuku fired back quickly, not too upset by the statement, but rather annoyed. They could hear movement from inside the room as Izuku exasperated, “Oh, God. Yes. I’m one of infinite Izuku’s with infinite fathers and infinite universes! It’s called a hug Dad! It won’t kill you.”
The conversation was derailing so fast. Mina and Kaminari were already tapping out from being able to react. Todoroki was struggling a bit too. The majority of class 1-A felt as if they were missing vital information. It would make sense with how Izuku never brought up Hisashi.
Bakugo was lucky enough to know most of what was going on, the only thing he didn’t understand was Izuku and Hisashi talking about a multiverse in the middle of a conversation about Shigaraki and Izuku wanting to save people.
Despite all of that, Jiro and Sero snickered at Izuku for shaming his dad. It was funny to hear Izuku be sassy and mock someone.
“Yeah, don’t be so sure. Do you know why every Hisashi made sure their little boy was quirkless? The same reason why I’m not surprised you want to go on this suicidal villain destruction tirade. You were a scary fucking kid,” admitted Hisashi shamelessly.
Bakugo was having a crisis while the rest of class 1-A were trying to process the insane confession they just heard. Hisashi made sure Izuku was quirkless. Yet somehow Izuku had a quirk in this reality.
The teens also couldn’t comprehend why Hisashi would say Izuku was a scary kid. Sure, he could be pretty intense and spooky when in battle, but he was super kind, energetic, and a pure hero. It seemed that Hisashi didn’t know his son at all.
Izuku let out a laugh of disbelief. “Oh my god.”
Everyone was more than happy to hear Izuku was in the same boat they were in.
“I didn’t take your quirk to punish you. I did it to protect the neighborhood," revealed Hisashi bluntly. Izuku didn't respond so Hisashi explained, "Not in a noble sense. It was more to sequester you before I had to start, you know, cloning a replacement for every less-than-polite kid or gullible little animal that might cross your socio-path."
With more context to back up Hisashi's insane statements from before, they were now more curious about Izuku's childhood. They could imagine how he'd be a lot to handle. He was a very curious person and always found his way into trouble. Still, that was something they liked about their classmate.
Bakugo, who grew up with Izuku, didn't have the slightest clue about what Hisashi was talking about. Izuku was annoying, sure, but he was obsessed with becoming a hero and saving people. This story Hisashi spun up made no sense.
"This bastard is lying," whispered Bakugo, growing more irritated.
Uraraka and Todoroki glanced at Bakugo. They were glad to hear Bakugo say what they were thinking. While their thoughts and feelings about Hisashi were biased, Bakugo knew Izuku when he was young.
"You would rather believe I'm evil than admit that you are a bad father?" remarked Izuku rather calmly. It seemed that the disbelief wore off and the disappointment settled in.
Hisashi was quick to respond as he clarified, "Oh, dude. No. No, bad father all the way to the max here. I'm a fucking nutcase, and the acorn plopped straight down baby."
The entire group got a bad feeling about all of this. No matter what the result of the conversation was, it was clear that Hisashi was an unreliable narrator in this case. He was contradicting himself left and right, being overly rude, claiming Izuku was crazy, and then making it sound like Izuku had to be crazy just because he was.
"Look at some of the shit you asked me to make you as a kid," started Hisashi as the sound of wind and something crashing could be heard. The group immediately assumed that Hisashi had opened a portal to get a box of items from his home or something.
“Ray guns. A whip that forces people to like you. Invisibility cuffs. A parent trap. A lightning gun,” listed Hisashi as he picked up the items one by one.
With each item Hisashi announced, class 1-A’s jaws dropped lower and lower and their eyes grew wider and wider. They struggled to comprehend what they were hearing. They could hear the jingling of metal and the rubbery noises of plastic. These items were real.
The one thing no one could understand is why Izuku would ask for any of those items. He was a quirkless kid with a dream of becoming a hero. Why he’d ask for things that could cause harm or suggest criminal activity made no sense.
In the cases where the item wasn’t dangerous, they found themselves growing sad. For instance, the whip that forced people to like Izuku. They couldn’t conceptualize people who didn't naturally like him. He was a magnetic force that attracted people.
“A teddy bear with anatomically correct innards. Night vision googly eyeglasses. Sound erasing sneakers. False fingerprints. Fall asleep darts.”
Magically Hisashi’s prior statements started making sense. If Izuku was asking for items that made it seem like he was planning on stalking and killing someone, they could understand why he was so stern.
The one thing that had Bakugo stumped was he never saw any of the items mentioned before. Izuku’s little bag he used to carry around everyone only had a crappy hero notebook and some hero figures. He rarely had the book bag on him anyway.
While Uraraka, Todoroki, and Iida were concerned by the things their best friend asked for, they were more curious than anything else. How did a child come up with half of those ideas, especially the teddy bear with organs?
“A lie-detecting All Might action figure. An indestructible baseball bat. A taser shaped like a ladybug. A fake police badge. Location tracking stickers. Rainbow-colored duct tape. Mind control hair clips. Poison gum,” continues Hisashi effortlessly. It seemed like he was going to account for every item that was in the container all the items were in.
Kaminari and Sero let the shock fade away and they were suddenly snickering. There was something so humorous about Izuku being a bloodthirsty child.
Bakugo on the other hand was freaking out because some items sounded like faint memories. If he felt like he remembered some of the items, it meant there was a high probability Izuku carried them around often.
Uraraka and Todoroki seemed to process a big issue simultaneously. Hisashi was creating these things. If Izuku asked for a bomb, it seemed like Hisashi would mindlessly make one for Izuku and shove him out the door.
At the best, Hisashi was neglectful. At the worst, Hisashi was an abusive piece of shit. He would make insane and dangerous items for his child without even considering how Izuku could hurt himself or others.
It was a blessing that Izuku managed to calm down and chose the right path of being a genuine hero with the mission of saving people. Inko must’ve raised Izuku all by herself because there was no way Izuku reflected Hisashi.
The group barely had a moment to reflect when Hisashi spoke again and said, “A green, sentient switchblade.”
Before anyone could process what Hisashi just stated, they heard the flipping of a switchblade accompanied by a horrifically human voice.
“Hi Izuku! You’ve gotten taller. Shall we resume stabbing?”
Jiro and Momo’s jaws dropped as their heads slowly turned to look at each other. The fact that Izuku grew up with a custom, humanlike knife was something out of a movie.
Todoroki was growing increasingly concerned about how Hisashi managed to make the items in the first place.
Kirishima and Kaminari were jealous that Izuku got a bunch of cool things in his childhood. They did have to remind themselves that Hisashi was a shit father and Izuku deserved better.
Bakugo on the other hand was still trying to recollect ever seeing any of the items. Maybe Izuku had them hidden or requested Hisashi to make an invisible backpack. Still, never once had Izuku used those items.
As horrible as it was, Izuku let the bullies push him around and insult him despite having gear to protect himself. Bakugo probably would have left Izuku alone if he had ever seen any of the items.
“Has it occurred to you that I asked you to make those things because I wanted you to spend time with me? Had it occurred that if I asked you to make those things, it was to protect myself from the bullying I endured because of my quirkless status?”
Suddenly all concern the group had for Izuku’s sanity vanished and empathy kicked in. It made a lot of sense when they thought about it. Izuku wouldn’t have asked for those things before the age of four.
If Hisashi stole Izuku’s quirk and put a giant target on his son’s back of course he’d lose friends and be a target of bullying. Izuku was probably lonely and wanted his parents' attention.
With his father being some kind of inventor, it made sense that someone as smart as Izuku would try to knock out two birds with one stone. Some time with his dad and getting useful items.
Nonetheless, Bakugo understood why he never saw Hisashi. Hisashi was a crazy ass adult with no sense of morality. He was a bad father and a disappointment of a person.
“Wait what? Why? Didn’t you play with those three boys all the time? You wanted to be a hero so deal with the consequences of that,” scoffed Hisashi as he once again dismissed his son’s serious problems.
Uraraka was incredibly disturbed. Izuku had confronted his dad about wanting attention and how Hisashi’s decision to steal his quirk did more harm than good. So how did Hisashi take that entire statement and just go right back to square one? The topic of Shigaraki has already passed so why was Hisashi simply chalking all of this up to Izuku wanting to be a hero?
Bakugo was done with Hisashi and was happy to tell Iida to go get Aizawa. Japan may be a wreck now, but Hisashi was not about to make UA a scary place for Izuku.
As Iida rushed away, Izuku responded. To no one’s surprise, Izuku was hurt and betrayed by his father’s reaction. It must have stung to know his father never once cared about him.
“Oh my god! This is your fault! I am not a bad person. I’m going to leave UA, I’m finding Shigaraki, and I’m fixing this!” shouted Izuku as the sound of a window breaking rang out through the room.
Bakugo burst through the doorway in the moment, terrified Izuku was hurt. All he saw was a broken window, a hospital gown lying on the hospital bed, a pile of letters sitting on the floor, and Hisashi standing near the bed with a stunned expression.
Bakugo wasted no time charging at Hisashi as he screamed, “You fucker! Do you have any idea what you just did?”
Todoroki vaulted himself out the window, hoping he’d be able to catch Izuku before he got away. Uraraka rushed out with Todoroki, knowing every second counted.
By the time Aizawa reached the room, Hisashi was unconscious, Izuku was gone, and Todoroki and Uraraka came back empty-handed.
After countless days of searching, fighting, and struggling to get Izuku to return, they succeeded. They had to give Izuku a bit of time to rest and recover, but when he was good enough to chat again, they all had one question.
“Can we see your sentient switchblade?”
Izuku was minding his business, scrolling through his phone as he tried to blend into the background. After all, he was the laughingstock of Aldera Junior High. There wasn’t a day when insults weren’t thrown at his face.
The school day hadn’t yet started so Izuku got to relax before the wrath of his peers was unleashed upon him. Katsuki came in and didn’t immediately come to ruin Izuku’s day, signaling that Izuku would be attacked later in the day when something mildly inconvenienced him.
“Everyone, take your seats,” instructed the teacher, entering the room with a stack of papers.
Izuku sighed, putting his phone away. The hero news blogs were dry this week anyway.
The teacher began calling attendance as usual. When the adult reached Izuku, he perked up a bit. “Midoriya, someone is waiting for you outside.”
The entire room faced Izuku with a stunned expression. Katsuki scoffed, rolling his eyes. “Yeah right! No one would waste their time to visit this quirkless loser.”
Hifumi never took his eyes off Izuku as he laughed, “Totally! It’s probably the nurse coming by to tell him to stop bothering her.”
The classroom was filled with sickening and ignorant laughing. Izuku was more than happy to get out of the room, heading to the door without much thought of who could be waiting for him.
Sliding open the door, Izuku’s jaw dropped as instantly saw a tall man with white fluffy hair and freckles.
“Darling! Guess whose back from jail!” cheered the man with open arms and a bright smile.
Izuku blinked slowly, feeling the burning gaze of all his classmates. The teacher was frozen in shock, beyond uneasy about leaving this ex-inmate with his student in the hallway.
Izuku shook his head, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the classroom. Izuku slid the door shut behind him and moved closer to his father. The teacher held up a finger to the class and approached the door. While they couldn’t care less about what happens between Izuku and his classmates, they did care about Izuku possibly being left alone with someone who could be a potential threat.
“Dude, what the fuck?” questioned Hifumi.
“Hell if I know!” seethed Katsuki, unaware Hisashi was in jail. From what Mitsuki told him, Hisashi was overseas for business.
Meanwhile, in the hallway, Izuku had to deal with his fresh-out-of-jail father.
“Dad, did you really have to shout like that,” groaned Izuku, crossing his arms.
“Of course, I heard what those little shits said about you in there. Had to send them a message,” huffed Hisashi, unremorseful as ever.
Izuku smiled, finally reaching out to his father. “I missed you.”
Hisashi smiled, pulling Midoriya into a tight embrace. “Not as much as I missed you!”
Izuku couldn’t help but laugh, missing moments like these. “So why did you come to my school?”
“Well, Inko went to pick me up from the prison early and left you a note telling you to stay home,” commented Hisashi, not sure about what the note said considering he only found out about it when they returned to the apartment and Izuku wasn’t there.
“Oh! Mom’s barely home so I usually skim the letters she leaves. I read “don’t leave” and figured she meant for me to not leave my notes at home. It’s happened before,” chuckled Izuku sheepishly.
Hisashi grinned brushing Izuku’s bangs out of his face and caressing his freckles. “You’ve bulked up since I’ve last seen you.”
Izuku smirked, flexing his arm. “Yeah, I’m trying to be as strong as you.”
“Can’t wait to have arm wrestles with you,” remarked Hisashi fondly, ruffling Izuku’s hair. “Now go on and grab your belongings. I’m taking you home.”
“Oh thank god. I was not in the mood to waste away here today,” celebrated Izuku, letting his entire body hunch over dramatically.
Entering the room again Midoriya soon realized that the entire class had been eavesdropping considering all the teens who sat in the back of the classroom weren’t in their seats. Katsuki and his lackeys stared at Midoriya in disbelief.
Izuku sheepishly announced. “Sorry for my Dad’s shouting. He’s just excited to be back.”
The entire school was filled with rumors that Izuku had a super dangerous father associated with the mafia. The only part of the rumors that was true was that Hisashi had been in jail and that he would happily destroy the lives of anyone who dared to lay a hand on his son.
It was safe to say the worst Katsuki did for a while was call Izuku “Deku”.
|| HELLOOOOO ||
|| I forgot to mention All Might in this analysis/theory! I'm so sorry peopleee!!! ||
|| All Might is also one of the biologically quirkless characters we know of! ||
|| And most likely his parents were quirkless too ||
|| And since Horikoshi apparently doesn't like dads, we only get small glimpses of his mother ||
|| And to be honest, she was very pretty and looked very kind, but as we already know, most likely some thief/villain killed her (Since All Might himself mentions it) ||
|| Because Horikoshi only draws All Might with his mother when he, like, 5/7? (Maybe?), it is most likely that she died when he was still young. ||
|| But I'm already digressing- The point is that I'm basically going to include him in this as well, since I forgot to mention him in the past post... Okay that was it byeeee ||
|| THEORY TIMEEE ||
||↓ Following this post of here ↓||
|| Something that impresses me a lot about the world of MHA is that no one has questioned how Izuku can be quirkless if both of his parents have a quirk (I mean, sure, no one asks Izuku about his father, but at least Mitsuki Bakugou should know something about that man, i mean, she IS inko's best friend, at least once she had to think this stuff through and be like: "Wait, something doesn't seem right here-") ||
|| I mean, the only quirkless characters from birth we've seen apart from Izuku are Aoyama and Melissa! ||
|| But for both there is an explanation for why they are quirkless! ||
|| With Aoyama we know that both of his parents are quirkless, sooo is clear why Aoyama is quirkless, since he inherited that from his parents. ||
|| With Melissa is a similar case, the only thing that differentiates her from Aoyama's case is that she has a father with a quirk, which increases the chances of her being born with one, but as I theorize, her mother on the other hand was most likely quirkless, which made Melissa that slim chance of inheriting that gene. ||
|| Because according to the mha logic, the quirkless gene is somewhat rare, which means the quirk gene is a dominant gene (as the post above says) ||
|| So, in the case of Izuku, who has TWO PARENTS WITH QUIRKS (Inko with "attracting small objects" and Hisashi with "breathing fire") it is rare that he ended up quirkless, of course his parents could be carriers of the quirkless gene, but as I said, the quirk gene is dominant, and Izuku being from the 5th generation only makes the chances of that quirkless gene affecting 5% or so if both parents have a quirk (I mean, please, at least for Aoyama and Melissa it's understandable, it has an explanation, but for Izuku?) ||
|| As I said, Inko and Hisashi could be carriers of the gene, but since we don't know anything about the grandparents of any of the children in class 1A, we won't have an answer about that. (↓ Here is an example of the biology of inheritance, so you can keep the focus and not get lost 10 times trying to understand this like I did- ↓) ||
|| As we can see, Izuku would be the "Affected Offspring" in this case, and as you can see, even if he got a quirk, he would still carry the quirkless gene, since it is also rare to be born like the "Unaffected Offspring" ||
|| But, if we go by the "Dad For One Theory" side, we have a man who was born in the first era of quirks, an era in which the dominant gene was the quirkless gene, see where I'm going? ||
|| All For One, being from the first generation, gives him more chances of inheriting the quirkless gene and if Inko is also a carrier of this gene even if it is recessive, thanks to Afo's genetics it will be inherited ||
|| well that was all (Sorry for not having made theories lately, it's just that we've already finished the manga and there's no more content.) byeee ||

inko is the only one All for one allows to hit him with a slipper.
Inko upset more at the fact All for one put Izuku and Bakugo (she's auntie to that boy) in danger than he is a villian, slapping him with her sandal: Do you know how many times you put them in danger! How many times!
All for one mesmerized because this is the first time he's ever seen Inko really pissed off, and he likes it: 🥰😍
|| Mama is mad cuz she just wants the babys to be safe, meanwhile Dada IS the main reason why the babys are in danger ||
|| I had to draw it, imsorryyy ||
|| The girl who just looks is Katsuki for sure. I have no proof but no doubt either- ||
I started watching a new k-drama and this scene is perfect for dfo!😂
Hisashi returned home! 😂😂
(K-drama Romance in the House)
|| If you look closely ||
|| The one that's probably Inko's is white, while Izuku's is a combination! ||
|| In its entirety, is white, yes, but it has black spots, representing Hisashi/Afo ||
(Maybe it's a silly theory)
The three umbrellas were there from the beginning.
But their style has changed.
That style of umbrellas could also be related if the end of mha is really Izuku's imagination or illusion.
Either Horikoshi did it on purpose or he forgot what umbrellas he drew at the beginning of the manga. (But he didn't forget that there were three umbrellas here.)
If I focus on the dfo theory, the black umbrella would definitely belong to the AFO.
The handle of the umbrella agrees.
However, in the manga, the umbrella looks gray and not exactly black. But in the anime, the umbrella is black.
And by the time Afo found Tenko, surely ''Hisashi'' was still present with his family.
What do you think?
|| Nah, even on Twitter they remembered ||
|| Guys, I think Izuku's dad is the friends we made along the way. ||
|| NAAHHH THIS IS WILD, I LOVE IT. ||
Izuku said He Feels at Ease When Someone Holds His Hand.
Now we know that All for One is a Quirk capable of stealing or copying other Quirks and transferring them to whoever he wants or keeping them and using them if the user wants and we also know that he gave his supposedly Quirkless brother a gift of power accumulation… ok? Well that's when I saw this…
"Just holding hands soothes the heart."
Izuku says again that the simple act of holding hands calms the heart because it works for him, holding hands with his friends calms him down and makes him feel good.
Well, so far so good.
That's where THIS comes in…
It is then that Izuku can somehow feel the embers rekindling.
When his other friends arrive, Kacchan walks in and asks Izuku about the embers... "They flew you over here, but… are the embers okay?"
To which Izuku replies "Yeah" Because yes, the embers are so good that they burn again... And no, it was not the "Magic of Friendship" nor the "Power of Love" nor the "Izuocha"
then I was like...
Naniiiii? But what the hell happened here?! and I remembered the following...
Yeap! Izuku's hands in volume 417, and that's when it occurred to me that what a fucking genius Horikoshi-sensei is.
Well, now we all know that AFO steals quirks by touching his victims with his hands due to the holes in them that seem to absorb said quirks, right? ok, have you figured out where I'm going?… AFO is Izuku's father! YES!
So even though here it doesn't look like Izuku has the same holes as AFO, there does seem to be light in what would appear to be said holes, but that's because instead of absorbing Quirks, Izuku only absorbs energy, like the Quirk that AFO imposed on his brother stores energy and like AFO absorbs said power! So if when Izuku touched Uraraka's hand he absorbed part of the power of her quirk to revive the embers, wouldn't that mean that Izuku inherited AFO's mutated quirk somehow? Well you can say that Izuku would need the holes to absorb the power but do we remember what his mother Inko's quirk is? Attraction of small objects and she uses the movement of her hands to attract them, so if we add both quirks Izuku wouldn't need the holes, it would be a combination, and he would attract the power of the quirks just by putting his hands on people. And again you could refute me, "But Izuku has touched a lot of people with his hands" and I'll answer, Yes, but he was wearing gloves and it seems like he only activated his quirk recently in volume 417 of the manga by the looks of it since it's the first time those lights appeared on his BARE hands WITHOUT gloves, so Horikoshi, you damn genius, is this your way of revealing Dad For One in a plot twist at the end of the manga? Or am I just overthinking it?! Whatever it is, I'm happily sticking with this DFO theory!
|| Something like this (Idk in my head makes sense) ||
|| Just have to see what the house is like to know how the shape goes 😃👍 ||
I was just looking at your post and doesn't it remind you of Afo, Inko and Izuku!!?!?!?
@mallas28 @tengoku-izumi @huiiiooo @diospore @donkeys-waffles @vam1mav What do you think? 👀
|| NO FUCKING WAY- ||
|| GUYS ITS THE SAME HOUSE ||
|| ITS THE SAME HOUSE FROM OTHER ANGLEEE- ||
I was just looking at your post and doesn't it remind you of Afo, Inko and Izuku!!?!?!?
@mallas28 @tengoku-izumi @huiiiooo @diospore @donkeys-waffles @vam1mav What do you think? 👀
|| Okay, first of all, I know that even though there aren't so many people who publish about Dfo, but it makes me soooo happy that someone mention me for the first time in a post 😭 ||
|| And secondly, I've been thinking something, it may be crazy but what if the Midoriya family is not three members but four? ||
|| Something more or less like this ||
|| Now, I have some notes about the poster ||
|| Let's go for colors (Ignore that I made a mistake writing Unknown) ||
1) Blue: The old house of the Midoriya's
|| We all know that the Midoriyas at some point moved to their current house, since thanks to a memory of Izuku, it is seen that he lived for a short time in another location ||
[Comparison]
|| It looked in good condition, what happened to make them move? A fire perhaps? ||
|| It was an accident, or All For One was looking for an excuse to disappear a family member? (Unknown person) ||
|| If Afo wanted to disappear Izuku or "Unknown" who would stop him? ||
|| Inko? She is very manipulative ||
|| Izuku? He was possibly 2/3 years old when that happened, he most likely doesn't remember it ||
|| Also... ||
|| It seems like "Unknown" is trying to find a place (the old house? Maybe that's why there is a close-up of a house) or someone ||
|| Plus it could also mean that the Midoriya family was breaking/burning over the years (A Father and a sibling in one side and a Mother and a other sibling in the other) ||
((If you want to know more about the topic of houses, I leave this post here))
2) Green: A torn/burned part of the poster
|| You can see that a part of the poster is missing, maybe someone else was there ||
|| It doesn't look burned (Which could mean that the possible fire was not an accident) ||
|| That part was torn off (Afo took a member of the Midoriya family by force, because surely Inko would never allow someone to take one of her children) ||
3) Red: The Midoriya's family
|| It looks like All For One, Izuku and Inko are there. And a person in the background (Who we will assume is "Unknown" although it could also reflect the other side of Afo [the villain]) ||
|| "Unknown" is away from the family, in the dark (Also, something I thought is that "Unknown" is crying because for Afo's death [If they were together for so long it is likely that "Unknown" took a kind of affection for him like with Tenko]) ||
|| "Unknown" possibly believes that since Afo is dead, he should take his place ||
Or well Idk, it's the only thing I thought about right now (〒﹏〒)
✧ Thanks to @psychomurderz for knowing how to explain the topic of the Midoriya houses better than me (。•̀ᴗ-) [😭] ✧
I was just looking at your post and doesn't it remind you of Afo, Inko and Izuku!!?!?!?
@mallas28 @tengoku-izumi @huiiiooo @diospore @donkeys-waffles @vam1mav What do you think? 👀
|| If this baby. ||
|| This one over here, this little guy that appeared in the Vigilantes manga WITH ALL-FOR-FUCKING-ONE IS Izuku, i'm gonna lost it. (In the good way, but anyways ಥ‿ಥ) ||
((Since he was little, Izuku was always the calmest of the holy baby trinity HAHA-))
It’s kinda strange how they don’t show Inko after the war. I mean we saw Bakugo and his parents, but Izuku who lost his arms and who was also the ‘star’ of the battle we didn’t see his parents even come to the hospital.
Maybe we might see his parents when we get a dad reveal lol and also a flashback to Izuku’s birth.
Ain’t no way you’re just going to end MHA without a newborn Izuku flashback 😒😒
I wanna see a chubby baby Izuku to complete the holy baby trinity 🤣
((Edit: I already found out that it is a fake interview, but I'm also leaving this here because I know a part of me is going to feel THIS way if the theory doesn't become canon-))

|| Okay, on one hand, part of me is sad because we didn't see much of Dad For One in this chapter and now i'm like this: ||
|| But on the other hand my bkdk shipper side is like this: ||
|| Wait... ||
|| WAIT- ||
|| Afo is THAT you???? ||
|| THEORY TIMEEE ||
|| Ok I only thought about it about two seconds ago but what if Doctor Gairaki did something so that neither Afo nor the Midoriyas would remember each other, I mean imagine such a plot twist that in reality the bastard If he had had the family why yes, and then the Doctor finds out and sees it as a waste of time, but he can't do anything because it's Afo ||
|| But when Afo died the first time he did something so that neither Afo nor his family will remember each other. ||
|| Suspicious. ||
(Discreetly insert DFO into the post-)
I was re-reading the manga and one detail confused me. Why doesn't Inko's "favorite things" list Hisashi? Yes, I understand my claim may sound far-fetched because usually there is nothing special in the information about parents’ favorite things (their hobbies are simply written there) But in my opinion, Inko is a real housewife and it’s in her character to put her family first, so instead of the same sewing that could have been written, her favorite things say “Izuku”, but why not “Hisashi and Izuku”? Was it really that her husband didn’t show up at home for so long that she “cooled off” towards him?🤔
|| Afo really loving Inko and Izuku how he loved Yoichi, seeing them as his property, but treating them better because surely Hisashi would have behaved that way with Inko and Izuku and because the plum doesn't want them to end up like Yoichi, even if he doesn't admit it. It seems like something totally possible to me. (And I just realized that with this theory, Horikoshi would literally have both part's of the fandom happy, THE PEOPLE WHO SAY HISASHI IS A RANDOM GUY AND THE DFO THEORISTS WOULD BE RIGHT-) ||
✧ Thanks to @tengoku-izumi for giving me the idea in the comments T vT) ✧
|| THEORY TIMEEE ||
|| DAMN- ||
|| Imagine Afo having almost the same goal as Endeavor at some point: Combining Quirks. ||
|| What if Afo wanted to have a quirk that didn't have the same weakness as his, he wanted to have an All For One that could steal quirks from distance, and what better way to do it than having an heir? ||
|| But to have an heir, he needed a woman with a quirk that could attract things to her, and that's where Inko comes in ||
|| Her quirk was just what Afo needed, and on top of that, she was manipulable, she was perfect for the plan, but then a problem came in to ruin everything: Hisashi Midoriya ||
|| Most likely by that time they would be married and happy, and just that, was a problem for Afo but when he realized that Hisashi worked in Koga Construction, something came to his mind. ||
|| Afo began to monitor Hisashi and learn his behaviors with people and especially with Inko, and one day, Afo summoned Hisashi to "build" something for him, and when Hisashi arrived... Afo killed him. ||
|| After getting rid of the body, Afo using the Quirk to change appearance, he changed his appearance and took on Hisashi's. (Evidence that Afo does have a Quirk like that in the photo ↓) ||
|| "Hisashi" returned home with his wife, and after a month or more time, he convinces her to have a child ||
|| And well, then Izuku was born ||
|| It is more than obvious that the plan worked, since in the manga Izuku currently shows TOO many signs of having a quirk ||
|| So the question with this theory is... What happened? Why didn't Afo steal Izuku's quirk? ||
|| And don't tell me that "Maybe his quirk was like Yoichi's and they couldn't tell it was really there" BECAUSE THEY KNEW. ||
|| In this publication we are taught some human biology, and, in short, The Doctor Gairaki, lie, THIS BALD SON OF A BITCH LIED TO INKO AND IZUKU IN THEIR FUCKING FACE. ||
|| But why? Why Afo ordered the Doctor to lie?? Why not steal the quirk and say that Izuku was quirkless??? ||
|| For this I bring two possible reasons: ||
1) Izuku's quirk CANNOT be stolen by Afo so he just compressed it and waited for Izuku to decide on his own to be a villain so he could tell him the truth later, and then make him his true successor and the Prince of Demons.
2) Afo ended up becoming fond of Izuku because his appearance and behavior is similar to that of Yoichi, but as we already know...
someone died for using their quirk for the first time.. Soooo Izuku using his quirk didn't seem like a very good idea to Afo.
|| Either option can be possible, it could even be both! (I say this because Afo HAD MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO KILL IZUKU OR INKO AND NEVER DID ANYTHING TO THEM WHEN THAT PLUM BITCH KILLED NANA'S HUSBAND AND THE WHOLE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF KUDOU-) ||
|| But well now we just have to wait to see how the Dad For One Theory will become canon ||
|| And remember! ||
|| Have hope that the theory will become reality! If Horikoshi already did something like this with Tomura/Tenko and with Dabi/Touya then the theory is not so crazy that it cannot be canonized! ||
|| Horikoshi never disappoints the fandom!! ||

|| Hey, if the Dad For One Theory becomes canon... ||
|| Then the Motherfucker of Afo gave Izuku the money to buy the All Might figures and all the merchandise (or worse yet, HE bought the merchandise of All Might and send it to Izuku by mail) ||
|| And it couldn't have been Inko's money! Because she doesn't have a job! She is a housewife! ||
[ Imagine having to buy to your son, your ENEMY'S MERCHANDISE, just to make him happy ◉‿◉) ]
|| THEORY TIMEEE ||
|| Soooo, I saw a comment on one of my previous posts that reminded me of a theory I made a few years ago about Dad For One and now I would like to share it! (although of course I edited it a little so that it is more subdued with what is currently happening in the manga-) ||
|| The theory goes that basically, Izuku WAS planned to be a vessel, but not for Afo, no, he was supposed to be the vessel for Yoichi's consciousness. ||
|| With how Afo is, it wouldn't seem strange to me that he wouldn't be satisfied with just having his brother's quirk and only talking to his ghost/conscience, once he had One For All, he would look for someone, someone who was the most similar as possible to Yoichi, both in appearance and goals, but when he couldn't find that someone, he probably thought : Why not create him? Why not create that person? ||
|| Furthermore, if he created that person who was going to be a vessel, he would not only be blood-linked to him (as he is with Yoichi) but he could also obtain a Quirk in the process, it was a win-win for HIM!! ||
|| But after this, although we don't know what happened, we don't know why he only let Izuku have a normal life (It could be that Afo became attached to Izuku or the experiment failed, but hey, that part will be confirmed to us by Horikoshi in some chapter) ||
|| But well that was the whole theory, if you want you can add things to it if you like :p ||
|| THEORY TIMEEE ||
|| Dude ||
|| What if Afo was just taking a little Izuku to daycare with the appearance change quirk activated and after leaving him he planned to go with the Doctor Garaki/Tsubasa so he deactivated the quirk but after that, All Might saw him in his normal form (which would be the All For One that we all know), and seeing him off guard, he took advantage of it to attack him and that was one of the factors why All Might won that battle? ||
|| It was a hole. ||
|| I REPEAT ||
|| IT WAS A HOLEEE- ||
not me going crazy studying every visible Midoriya palm every time a new leak happens
421 had only this one and I'm pretty sure he's wearing a glove but here it is.
It's the Aoyama flashback hand if that matters
But yeah I'm going crazy here lmaooo I just want a definite yes or no answer
Like that bit of shading in the middle seriously got me for a second but I'm pretty sure he had gloves on so probably not a hole just the fold of his fabric.
Hey, imagine that the Dad For One Theory becomes canon... AND ALSO BKDK
Imagine Afo cursing Katsuki in hell because:
1) The Yoichi and Kudou thing HAPPENED AGAIN.
2) Because Afo would see Katsuki as the second person (All Might would be the first) responsible for Izuku wanting to be a hero (Because thanks to that they just turned Izuku against him)
SHIT THAT EXPLAINS IT
I just imagined that one of Inko's relatives might have freckles and the only thing Izuku inherited from Afo were his uncle's eyes
OR
That the freckles are related to Izuku's possible quirk and that if it is activated at 100% then the freckles ✧form a star✧ (╥﹏╥)
|| Okay ||
|| Now that we know that this son of a bitch can change his appearance (Either with just one quirk itself or the combination of other quirks) ||
|| I just realize something.. How many FUCKING times did we see this bastard in the background (Including flashback or not) when Horikoshi just draw various characters in the manga and we didn't notice? ಥ‿ಥ ||
|| Okay, I haven't seen any more of this, and I have been the only who posted something like this related to the recent chapters, sooo I'm going to post it! (Besides, I made more). ||
