Bnha Spoilers - Tumblr Posts
Anyone else go thought the five stages of grief last night?
I've finally made it to acceptance this morning.
Seriously though wtf! Did Deku just snap and go murder some people or what!?
That new mha chapter tho🥲
Dabi doodle ❤️
I just watch MHA with english dub for first time and finally understand why most people still think Chisaki still have it in him to keep being villain instead of being broken caged animal who bang his head with things.
The difference is the voice.
Wet cat Chisaki pic for attention
Armless Chisaki in JP dub sound pathetic. A depressed, full of regret, post heavy crying shaken dry heaving voice. He barely have any voice left in him, since he is probably haven’t talk to anyone since his lock up. He sound like someone squeezed his throat when he’s talking and you can barely hear it over background noise compare to everyone else
Armless Chisaki in EN dub sound angry. A bottled up, loud demanding angry shaking yelling. Still full of energy and power of the pre arm snatched Overhaul. There are too much power in his voice and no regret aside from the word he speak. His voice is too loud and clear for a tattered broken man, he’s even louder than Endeavor and Deku.
Same dialogue in same scene can give the audience different feeling toward character when it have different feeling in the sound. Including natural tone shift like whimpering in JP dub and angry voice shake in EN dub.
Chisaki JP dub sound like he would say sorry to Eri and do everything in pleading Eri to help fix his Boss.
Chisaki EN dub sound like he will demand and made Eri fix up his Boss by force.
Anyway that is my little eureka moment. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
- Deku literally get all injured and become quirkless again fighting bunch of super dangerous villain, and he’s just a student??? That’s like taking the ROTC to the front line of active war zone. And they didn’t even get paid for this? No pension? No recognition? Just school diploma and that’s it now you are going back to manual back breaking job after taking all that damage? His repeating shattered bone and mental pain not going to last that long ngl
That kinda remind me of how some real world country treat young veteran. Wasting all your limb and prime day to fight for country and come back. For a pension that doesn’t enough to live comfortably, mental issue that make finding job very hard, missing limb in inaccessible world, and treat like shit when you end up in the street because the problem mentioned before
- Dabi in the tank. Literally half conscious corpse pinned to a board like insect specimen. And have no say in who can come visit him? His smack talk is right they treat him as animal inna zoo. And the audacity of Endeavor who want to reconcile? I mean look at all the smack talk when Endeavor try to talk to him. Shoto and the sibling and the mom should be the only one allow to visit him. Not Endeavor. Dabi only reply nicely to Shoto because he’s the only one who doesn’t into this forced reconciliation things. Shoto just want to talk to him, what’s his favorite food.
At least Dabi should have a say in denying who can visit him. And Endeavor should get more shit coming his way more than just losing an arm and retired. Dishonorable discharge equivalent of hero association or something, get his rank revoked at least
Force reconciliation is a big problem in asian family. Esp abusive household one. Personal experience, sadly. They could done so many wrong and everyone still expect you to reconcile because they are *parent* regardless of how much damage has been done, how many time you try to communicate with them that they hurt you and it’s way too late to listen to what left of your kid. Or that they never listen to you and push you into walking on path of self destruction just to prove themself to the parent.
- Chisaki, oh they did Chisaki really dirty. He’s reduced to animal that bang their head on things in concrete box with no enrichment already. And now his pops going to add even more pressure on already broken man. I was expect something along the line of he’s getting bit more sanity and say sorry to Eri or something. Or at least have realization that he sucks and want to work on fixing the damage (manually, because his quirk factor is arm and quirk doesn’t work on prosthetic)
Also what kind of grandpa just left their grandkid to the guy who have no idea how to be good parent and never check up on them before Chisaki put him in coma anyway. Do you even visit Eri after haul her off to Chisaki lab? Do you never give a damn about Chisaki mental state growing up? It take a long way for someone to actually become mad scientist and no one even notice that? Equally terrible.
Im somewhat convinced that they just hate Chisaki. While I love armless bearded depressed Chisaki. He got no further character development, no backstory to explain why he sucks or why he choose to do this. Just mad scientist become pile of mess and now adding his pops as a cherry on top
Doubling down on my "the ending to BNHA is intended to be satire on how society can be trained to uphold broken systems and commit great injustices with much enthusiasm and patriotism and any attempt to change the status quo will be quashed to thunderous applause" hot take because no way in fucking HELL did I just read "after the manga repeatedly drilled into us that this was the story of how Deku became the greatest hero in the world, after he defeats Shigaraki and becomes Quirkless again he gets a job in fast food"
The story is literally ending with nothing fundamentally changing, a bunch of good people have died, become disabled, and or are now powerless, the people in charge of many of the systemic evils that actually created many of the series' threats and antagonists are just totally fine, kicking it chilling not being punished at all, Endeavor as a symbol of the broken Hero Society, a top hero who turned out to be literally beating his family behind closed doors, isn't punished at all, his family even still talks to him, he still has a job as one of the most top paying Heroes, while Shigaraki and most of his friends are dead
The story is ending with Deku not just powerless, but LITERALLY powerless: he's a fucking KONBINI EMPLOYEE? So he doesn't even have any power or authority as a cop or a government employee or like, even a clerk for a hero? You're telling me they couldn't even reward the guy who saved the planet a high paying desk job somewhere? He's literally punted down to the bottom rungs of Japanese society the MICROSECOND he's Quirkless again?
How genuinely fucking depressing. Oh my god guys, Deku did NOT deserve this. Jesus Christ if you're gonna make anyone Quirkless and give them some sort of shitty humbling job that'll make them appreciate life more, Bakugou is RIGHT FUCKING THERE--
The fact that the Todoroki family storyline is a tragedy.
The fact that the manga ends with every single one of the Todoroki children remaining irreversibly damaged.
The fact that sometimes hurt is just hurt and there isn't a higher reason for it.
The fact that despite taking different approches, none of the Todoroki children are judged by the narritive for their choices in moving forward and finding their own peace.
The fact that Horikoshi didnt set out to write a story of justice in his superhero comic, but instead wrote a realistic take on how abuse survivors actually get treated by the world we live in.
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.
Aizawa: I'm thinking clearly
Also Aizawa: Thinking of his daughter smiling
Aizawa has returned
i just need to know why the fuck bnha is always trending everywhere when bakugou gets impaled it`s my science project at this point
i just think that it`s neat how the 2nd showed up to izuku during this time, when he looks really similar to katsuki not to be dramatic, poetic or some shit but it`s like some sort of comfort and reassuarance
Boy I thought aot was the only manga that was gonna cause me emotional distress....
HORI FIX EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME
Why I think Dad for One is canon (A long-ass essay)
Just putting my two cents on this theory. I saw someone recently post an analysis and a bunch of proof, and I thought some things were missing/not clear. Just wanted to voice my thoughts before this theory is confirmed or denied.
=======================================
Just a warning: I found most of these points while doing research, so some of them are a bit repetitive and not my original ideas; I just wanted to put all the proof in one place. Also spoilers ahead obviously.
=======================================
Part 1: Who is Hisashi Midoriya
· Inko’s husband
· Father of Izuku
· Has a fire breathing quirk
· Took a work post abroad
That’s literally all we know about him. He is only mentioned in the series once (Chapter/Episode 1), when Inko visits a pediatrician who asks about him, which is how we found out about his fire quirk.
The name “Hisashi” comes from the Japanese phrase “Hisashiburi”, meaning a long time (since the last time) or first in a long time. This could insinuate it’s been a long time since he has seen his family; or, since we know All for One is 150+ years old, the phrase could insinuate he’s been alive for a long time.
I also want to point out the Kanji in this name. Horikoshi likes to sneak in easter eggs or certain hints in the names of the BNHA characters. This is what I found:
The kanji used to write the name “Hisashi”:
· 久: “long time”
· 永: “eternal”
· 尚: “still”
· 彌: “complete”
· 長: “long”
· 寿: “life”
· 昶: “long day”
It clearly emphasizes the “Long time” part.
I want to point out another aspect in his name, the “Midoriya” part.
There could be 2 possibilities:
1. Either All for One made up this last name
2. “Midoriya” is actually Inko’s maiden name she gave him and Izuku
Now I see a lot of people saying it’s common for Japanese men to take their wives last names’, but I don’t see anyone posting proof (from the series) about this. We don’t know how common this is in the BNHA universe; until I came across this:
So we now know this is a common practice in the BNHA universe. It doesn’t seem far fetched that All for One wanted to forget about his past/past family and have a new family. I think him taking the “Midoriya” from Inko was like a new beginning for him. He didn’t want to associate his new family with his criminal activities or his past.
Part 2: The Quirk
Hisashi Midoriya has been confirmed to have a fire breathing quirk.
Now why fire breathing?
I guess its simple and wouldn’t cause too much trouble. He didn’t want anything flashy in case it attracted unwanted attention.
All for One has AT LEAST one fire-based quirk. We see proof of this throughout the series.
In both photos, AFO is using a fire quirk. So we can now confirm he has at least 2.
Bonus point: Notice how AFO never specifically uses fire breathing. This is because he would damage his oxygen mask and respiratory support. He can’t use this quirk. How ironic and well timed is that?
Part 3: His “work” abroad
I heard many people say they think Hisashi works in America, which I think is highly likely.
We know AFO has been overseas. Especially America. In the manga panel above, is an image of the Chrysler Building in New York. Different angles but its clearly the same building. AFO could be sending letters, payments, packages to the Midoriyas from New York; to make it look like he was working a normal job in the US.
Part 4: Izuku and genetics
1. I want to point out Izuku looks more like his mother then father. We know this because he gets most of his colors and features from his mother. This isn’t really surprising, as we see other main characters, like Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo who get most physical features from their mother. Denki and Jiro are other examples.
2. Izuku does indeed have some resemblance to All for One. Not just in one panel, but SEVERAL. Here are just a few examples:
I don’t see any other person in the same poses as Izuku and AFO. Coincidence? Also, a young AFO bears very strong resemblance to Izuku. I honestly think he cut his hair shorter as he got older.
3. The x-ray: Let’s assume the x-ray the doctor shows in episode 1 is real. As generations pass and evolve, the extra joint in the pinky toe disappears. It appears to be unnecessary. Let’s assume both Hisashi and Inko are forth generation users. They both would not have this feature. How is it possible that Izuku inherits it? AFO is a first-generation quirk user, it is 100% certain he has this extra joint, therefore passing it onto Izuku.
4. All for One is very likely to have a quirkless child. More then 80% chance. Quirks back in his time were extremely rare. I know there are many other quirkless people (Melissa, Aoyama, Jiro’s father), but its very rare and unlikely. The quirk gene should be dominant. You see most of the older generation having more quirkless individuals then the new generation. There is a 20% quirkless population worldwide. Don’t forget that Dr. Ujiko runs several orphanages and hospitals worldwide. There is a chance he helped AFO steal quirks from children or even babies, later making them think they are quirkless, increasing the quirkless population.
5. Izuku is very plain looking. In chapter 363, we see AFO’s true face. According to BNHA logic and even a lot of fans, he looks very plain, any ordinary guy you might see at a Home Depo on a Sunday. In a world where quirks make a person unique, this is a bit surprising. You see every character has a unique feature connected to their quirk. Both Izuku and AFO are just plain looking characters.
6. Ever notice how much Izuku gets injured when using OFA? More then he should? Maybe its because his body isn’t evolved enough to be able to handle such evolved quirks (Quirk singularity). If this is true, Izuku being a first-generation user makes sense. AFO’s body cannot handle how strong quirks have gotten, which is why he used Tomura Shigaraki as a vessel. Izuku must have the same body type.
7. Usually, people who use more then one quirk become brain-dead monsters. That’s why Nomu exist. Izuku has like, what, 7 quirks now from the previous users? How does his body handle all these quirks?
8. Parallel to Yoichi Shigaraki: Yoichi (AFO’s brother) and Izuku are very similar. They both have a strong sense of justice, strong willpower, both love/want to be heroes, and both are OFA users who were previously quirkless. The series started with AFO and his family and will end with AFO and his family. Family is clearly an important theme, otherwise why give AFO a brother he loves? As Izuku looks like AFO, Tomura looks like Yoichi. Izuku and Shigaraki mirror AFO and his brother.
Part 5: The doctor
These two are the same people. You cannot tell me otherwise.
He goes by many names, so lets just call him Dr. Ujiko. Dr. Ujiko was Izuku’s pediatrician, and the one who diagnosed Izuku quirkless. He is also AFO’s doctor and partner in crime. Now, why take Izuku to this specific doctor? That is a very odd coincidence. According to his wiki page, Dr. Ujiko is famous in the area for being the head of several hospitals and owning several orphanages. Meaning he is an important man. Clearly, many people would want to take their children to him.
We see in chapter 301 Endeavor and his wife visit Dr. Ujiko. We know this because they are in the same building Inko and Izuku were in. Endeavor is an important hero and has a lot of influence, of course because he was desperate for a perfect child, he would only go to the best doctor.
Inko does not seem to have any influence or important backgrounds, how did she get an appointment with such an important man, who is well renowned and has celebrity heroes as his patients?
Hisashi Midoriya of course. He would have enough influence and know the doctor well enough to convince him to diagnose his son. AFO must have told the doctor about his wife and his child, and out of curiosity decided to take Izuku in as a patient. Maybe even agreed and conspired with AFO about the diagnosis.
Bonus point: I notice how Dr. Ujiko asks “What is your husbands quirk?” in the anime and some translations of the manga. A lot of fans say if he knew AFO was Hisashi, why would he ask such a question? AFO has many quirks, he likely does not know what quirk AFO told Inko he had.
Part 6: Parallels with Tomura Shigaraki
It has been confirmed that AFO and Tomura are a dark parallel to All Might and Izuku. Izuku was taken under All Might’s wing, a hero. Tomura was taken by AFO, a villain.
Wouldn’t it make sense, if Tomura’s ancestor was a hero, and Izuku’s ancestor a villain?
I heard a theorist say: “Tomura descends from a hero, while Izuku descends from a villain.”
Its literally a perfect parallel.
Part 7: AFO vs Izuku
There is almost NO direct interaction between Izuku and All for One.
Back to Kamino, when AFO revealed himself a few minutes before All Might appeared.
All for One KNEW Izuku and his friends were behind that wall. Because his stole Ragdolls quirk: Search.
“Search allows the user to monitor and observe up to a hundred people at a time. This includes knowing their locations and weak points. The individuals being observed are visualized through the Quirk as star-like vestiges and can allow the user to know their location up to even miles away. Search also permanently stores the information gained after its usage”
Why not attack Izuku or kill him and his friends when he had the chance? He has had so many opportunities. He killed all other previous users of OFA, why is Izuku an exception? Especially when, unlike All Might, it’s so easy for someone like AFO to kill Izuku because he has no control over OFA and not on pro-level yet.
When AFO is later arrested, All Might asks if AFO wants to kill Izuku. AFO laughs and doesn’t confirm it. All Might made up that theory himself. AFO’s demeanor changes; it’s like AFO avoids talking about Izuku. For someone who is is very chatty, All for One is awfully quiet here.
Bonus point: One thing I really can’t understand is why AFO talks shit about Izuku in the manga later (Chapter 287 specifically). Calling him “Worthless”, “Weak”, “Unworthy of the power”. He literally makes fun of him in the OFA world. Not something a father would do. However, what if he was just trying to break his spirit? Maybe destroy his self-worth in order to take him in and manipulate him into hating heroes? (lmao poor Izuku his dad is literally talking shit about him. Dad of the year y’all)
Part 8: The Horikoshi interview
In 2018, when asked when Izuku Midoriya’s father will make an appearance, Horikoshi said this: “Deku’s father will be revealed in the future,”
Key word: Revealed
He said REVEALED not introduced.
Meaning we have seen his father; we just don’t know it yet because it hasn’t been revealed.
I believe Horikoshi is a smart man; he clearly thinks before he speaks, and he has been definitely PR trained. Was this a hint? Foreshadowing?
Part 9: Fucking Star Wars
The most common annoying-ass argument that people bring up when it comes to this theory.
In all honesty, its just very cliché and repetitive. I think that’s why BNHA fans are against this theory. Horikoshi would just be plagiarizing Stars Wars at this point.
I also heard arguments like “We already have a Star Wars reveal, the whole Dabi saga and Tomura is Nana’s grandson”.
I think Horikoshi might pull the “I am your father” card as a final homage to the famous franchise. He had taken so many names and ideas from the franchise what will stop his from doing this?
Here are just A FEW examples of him using Star Wars for BNHA (I found these on the internet since I know nothing about Star Wars) :
· Tatooine Station. A story has to start somewhere.
· Hosu, Tokyo. A harsh place in both stories.
· Wookiees. The furriest shopping mall ever!
· Kamino. Makin’ copies!
· All for One. Darth Vader doppelganger.
· Mustafu: Named for Mustafar, the site of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s last battle.
Its so blatantly obvious the man doesn’t even try to hide it. Literally took the same names. Did the Star Wars creator not sue him for copyright?
Also Parallels to the characters:
· Deku is Luke
· All might is Obi-Wan
· Gran Torino is Yoda
Star Wars story in a nutshell: A teacher figure (All Might), takes in a nobody (Deku) to fight evil, and turns out the evil is his father (AFO).
Horikoshi has taken so much from Star Wars, why would it be surprising that he pulls this? We have had so many plot twists, surprises, and reveals throughout the story. Why wouldn’t he add more shock factor?
Part 10: Extra easter eggs and theories
1. All for One’s prison number is 1541. The 41 stands for “For One”. What about the 15?
2. Tomura and Izuku have similar red shoes. As a child and young adult, AFO gave Tomura the red shoes when he was found under the bridge; could he have bought Izuku the same/similar shoes from the same brand? Maybe an American brand?
3. In episode 76, when Deku fights against Overhaul, AFO’s theme plays.
4. There is never any mention of Hisashi Midoriya after chapter/episode 1. Why? Whenever Izuku is in danger/on the verge of a tragedy, he calls for ‘Mom’ and ‘All Might’. Are Hisashi and Izuku not close? Wouldn’t a father overseas call his son or have a relationship with him? (As a university student who’s father has been working overseas for 5+ years I would know) Izuku doesn’t even acknowledge his father, not even in his thoughts. Hisashi has never once visited his family. Is this because of AFO’s injury he can’t see his son or wife?
5. It makes no sense to introduce a new character so late. As of writing this, we are in the final war arc (chapter 364).
6. “Wouldn’t Izuku recognize his fathers voice?” I think this is because Izuku was so young when his father left that he does not remember. Also, AFO uses a breathing mask. His voice is very strained especially after All Might left him disabled; he might have damaged his speech or vocal cords.
7. Izuku is the only one who was able to talk to the vestiges of the previous OFA users.
8. I heard a lot of people say “I doubt AFO would want to conceive a child”. How do you y’all know that? We don’t know what his moves are or what he’s thinking. His relationship with Inko and Izuku is either a loving one or an experiment. Who’s to say he doesn’t have other children out there? As long as he’s a man it’s possible. We don’t even know who he is, just that he wants to commit evil. That’s literally his personality.
9. If Hisashi is clearly an absent figure, why even mention him? Why not say he died or divorced Inko if he’s not that relevant? Unless he’s important in the story later?
10. The fascination with quirks. I have yet to see anyone other than Izuku mumble and be so fascinated with quirks. Oh wait-
11. A conveniently ironic tale indeed.
Sketches celebrating the start of S6 from Nagatomo
Me, after the newest BNHA episode (I knew what was coming) :
I am crying actual fucking tears don’t talk to me
deku really pull the “call an ambulance but NOT for me” card in the latest manga chapter smdksk
