Dad For One - Blog Posts

|| 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)

|| THEORY TIMEEE ||

|| GUYS ||

|| IMAGINE THAT IN THE REVELATION OF DAD FOR ONE THEORY, IZUKU WANTS TO ATTACK AFO, AND WHEN HE IS APPROACHING, AFO USE THE APPEARANCE CHANGE QUIRK AND THE QUIRK TRANSFORM HIM INTO A HORRENDOUS AND TERRIFYING VERSION OF "HISASHI MIDORIYA" (AND THEN USE THAT TO MANIPULATE IZUKU OR SO HE DOESN'T ATTACK HIM) ||

|| THAT WOULD BE AMAZING AND AWFUL BUT IT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO CANONIZE DFO ||

|| BUT WHO KNOWS, MAYBE HORIKOSHI WILL DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS OR EVEN WORSE ( ⁠ʘ⁠ᴗ⁠ʘ) ||

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 ||

"When All For One heard the sound of Yoichi's vestige shattering, his world lost its colors. He gave up his ambitions and then no attack from Deku could overcome the pain of losing him."

|| WOW ||

|| There's no sign of the Dad For One Theory becoming canon (yet) but at least we know the motherfucker has emotions! ||

(Although, of course, he could be faking, but I don't think that's happening here)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Oh well now that I've read the chapter I have nothing else to do so if you'll excuse me I'm going back to my hole until the next chapter comes out the next week-

|| 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). ||

|| THEORY TIMEEE ||

|| This thing is Izuku's quirk and it is not Shigaraki ||

|| Ok, you're going to call me crazy BUT THINK ABOUT IT, if Izuku DID have a quirk but Afo took it from him when he was very young (baby), we don't know how the quirk is going to form on its own, Afo has only stolen quirks from older people or children who already They had been handling their quirks for a while (Not counting Shigaraki of course, besides we don't see his quirk either), we have NEVER seen what a quirk looks like that was separated from its owner after (or before) being unlocked, I also theorized that if Dada For One stole Izuku's quirk and has always been with him, that was just Until the recent chapters ||

|| Although of course, it could also be that afo only stole a part of the quirk. example: maybe he only stole the part of the quirk that allows Izuku to give quirks and only left him the part that allows him to steal them or vice versa. ||

|| And you My Dear Tumblr Reader will wonder: "And why would Afo only steal that part of Izuku's Quirk and not the whole Quirk?" ||

|| Well... ||

|| The last time a family member of his wanted to use their quirk, it didn't go very well. ||

|| If Afo loves Izuku the way he loved his brother, he probably didn't want this to happen again, and I'm starting to think that Izuku, for being in contact with One For All and All For One for so long, his quirk began to find a way to slowly return towards his owner ||

((BESIDES WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK ALL MIGHT GOT THE INFORMATION THAT "IF A CARRIER OF THE ONE FOR ALL HAS A WEAK BODY AND TRYES TO USE IT, IT COULD EXPLODE"????))

// Edit //

((This is the scene I'm talking about by the way-))

|| Damn. ||

I'm DYING to know that

|| Well ||

|| I'm just gonna add another panel of [Izuku showing that he HAS (Not always) an "Afo Hole"] to the pile of panels (+ Official art) we already have. ||

Let's be honest guys, Horikoshi is taking absolutely (almost) EVERY theory that has been floating around the fandom and turning them CANON left and right, Surely he will confirm the Dad For One theory in a few chapters

(And in the worst possible way as he did with Tomura in the previous chapters)

The Identity of Deku's Dad

Has anybody else been so hyped after reading the latest chapters of MHA (418-422) because of the hints that the identity of Deku's father will be revealed soon?

In chapter 422, The U.S. president is shown, stating that all American heroes are to come to Japan, so perhaps Deku's father might be on that list of people arriving to help out.

I know there is still the possibility of the reveal being Dad for One, which is an interesting theory in my opinion, but the other chance that it might be an individual who works with heroes or is one of them also seems very intriguing.

It could also be the president himself, given how he is always in the shadows, but I honestly feel there is a slim chance for that to be true.

I can't be certain how Horikoshi will put the puzzle pieces of who Izuku's father is together, but I feel the president panels might be a piece of the puzzle somehow. His face is in the shadows...

...but again so was AFO's face for a long time.

I still feel really strongly about the DFO theory. On one hand I do see how people might be displeased by it, because AFO does insert himself in a lot of characters lives and influences them from the background, but precisely because of that I find him a very interesting and fleshed out character. So desperate for attention and love, even when he has it he doesn't know how to respond to it. He is also quite a charming character, which I feel you would have to be to impress the lovely Inko Midoriya. She is just too amazing, I also feel that he would be drawn to her as well because of that. Or perhaps because she bears resemblance to a certain Shimura? But again, Inko is very different to Nana, as in, she appears much softer as a character than Nana does, and I feel AFO would crave that from a person given that he wasn't taken care of and had to help his brother out and grew up in a very feral state and an incredibly hostile environment for anybody, let alone a child. Even though he does end up using people, I do think that that is because of his defense mechanism and constant living on survival mode affecting him.

AFO is also someone who doesn't want people to know the real him, his weaknesses and inner thoughts, his human side. The memories he does share with Deku and Tomura are only to traumatize them and break them up; in short: they are carefully curated.

If DFO does come into play, I feel that Tomura/Tenko will have a hand in the reveal. Perhaps helping or saving Izuku from within the vestige world? Maybe he will be able to help by seeing Izuku's memories and altering them like Deku did for him, because in the case that does end up happening, Deku will be the one needing a helping hand in coping with the reveal, and who better than the boy who that man was a father figure to as well. And in the end Deku and Tomura could also together "defeat" AFO by seeing his memories and saving the defenseless child he once was.

This is probably overthinking, but I wanted to share my thoughts with you guys. I love trying to guess what will happen and still being surprised by Horikoshi's amazing execution each time. I would love to read what you guys have to say on the topic.

The only thing I like about 431 is that Katsuki knows that he must treat Princess Deku as if he were a jewel, transporting him on a comfortable cushion (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Yes, I said princess, he is the adorable son of the Demon King after all...

Ha? How come Dad For One wasn't revealed? You know what? I don't care! If you have any complaints, talk to the hand (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠ ⁠)⁠ﾉ

Yes, with Izuku's hand ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

HORIKOSHI YOU WRETCHED DOG YOU DID IT!

I was about to upload a review for chapter 431, of which there must be many by now, when I found this…

I know it's too long and only the postscript matters…

I think what the damn coolest cretin in history wanted to say with that postscript is that chapter 431 is technically not canonical since it's not part of the original story that for him was until 430, everything in 431 was left to the free will of its characters so they could do and undo whatever they wanted…

Let's say that Horikoshi the damn genius bastard did it and technically created 2 endings, one for each facto bitches!… we have the BKDK ending in 430 which I'll call canonical and the Izuocha ending in 431 which I'll call the alternative ending and everyone can decide which ending they want… see? Both would be canon endings if you want them that way, except that one is the official one and the other is separate, it's like if Horikoshi had to prepare a single cake for two people with different tastes, let's say vanilla and strawberry, then what does he do? A two-tier cake with one layer of one flavor for one and the other for the other person, so everyone eats their favorite flavor! A fucking genius who wanted to avoid the hate of ship wars!

For my part, I'm sticking with the canonical ending just because they held hands, and although we can't see it, to me, the way Katsuki offered it has all the weight placed on chivalry and romanticism…

and with that smile, Izuku obviously accepted.

As for the alternative ending, while it was seen that they held hands, I didn't see it as something romantic, we know that Izuku feels good holding hands like that (red flag, ladies and gentlemen, emotional codependent behavior)

besides it seemed to me like a kind of give me 5 or a way of saying "Hey, I'm here for whatever you need, 'little friend'",

so I took my advice.

Although in reality the only hands that I was interested in seeing were Izuku's AFO hands, instead of avoiding the ship wars, Horikoshi, should have explained to us why Izuku's hands shined like that...

and if he was AFO's son then why did he put it aside as an unsolved mystery and preferred the pairings! Where is my revelation of "Izuku… I am your father"? I just wanted him to confirm my Dad For One! (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ

Izuku is identical to his father

They even have the same smile (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

For me, those eyes are the same.

Come on, if Izuku isn't Yoichi's nephew, I'll eat expired yogurt! 🥛🥄 And I'm lactose intolerant! 🤢

Continuing with my theory of 'Izuku has an Energy/AFO Quirk'

It's exactly like you said Pizrad: Attraction + subtraction + energy storage… but if it didn't only have the aspect of subtraction of AFO but also had the element of transfer of it?…

Thinking ahead, let's say if Izuku continued for a while storing small amounts of energy from various people (either unwittingly at first and then asking permission to do so from people with trouble handling their overly powerful quirks) until he had enough and needed to draw out the excess from his reserves and then had the ability to transfer this excess quirk energy to others, how do you think that would work? For example, if he gave his mother a small quirk boost, remember 'attraction of small objects', then she wouldn't need so many hand movements to attract said objects or she could now attract not only one but several or even larger objects. Do you think it would be like a simple momentary caffeine rush, or would it be something long-lasting? And if it was long-lasting, would that allow people with "weak quirks" (let's take for example some of Izuku's former classmates from Aldera Junior High School)

Well, other young people like these could enter the UA hero course as long as they show Izuku that they deserve to become heroes, right?

That and Izuku's ability to analyze quirks would make him a kind of mentor like All Might or better (like Gran Torino that old man taught Izuku more in a few days than Yagi in months) to help train one or even several future heroes!

That would be my vision for the future if my theory was true and if not, then at least I gave you enough material for fanfics, right?

BUT I STILL BELIEVE IN DAD FOR ONE!

DAD FOR ONE FOREVER!

HORIKOSHI YOU ARE A DAMN GENIUS!!!

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!

just want an AU where Shigaraki and Midoriya grow up brothers and Midoriya has no connection to the villain world because his dad (afo) didn’t want him to and then Shigaraki becomes a villain and bakugou and Midoriya just make fun of him the whole time at the USJ and cant take him seriously at all

Some people think he’s his grandad. Because the whole nana shimura is married to Yoichi thing(don’t know if that’s cannon) and stuff. That’s a cool theory too but like AFO being his dad is more dramatic and stuff sooo…. Shhh no they aren’t married

For me, those eyes are the same.

Come on, if Izuku isn't Yoichi's nephew, I'll eat expired yogurt! 🥛🥄 And I'm lactose intolerant! 🤢
