Let's be real, Teachers in UA AREN'T required to dress with formal suit à la typical Salaryman like AFO, but Horikoshi-sensei went out of his way to make Izuku dress like that daily, as if he intentionally made Izuku look like AFO untill the very end

Just because Hisashi wasn't revealed doesn't mean Afo can't still be him. Even in the last chapter, they look too much alike.

When their back is turned around, the way their fingers curl…

The shoes izuku wears now… his feet are also big just like afo’s, not just his hands

Lastly, this might mean nothing but they eventually seem to be lonely in the end, even if they won't admit it. Well as we know this changes for izuku who went back to being a hero with the help of technology.

Honestly, I don't care if Horikoshi ever reveals his Hsashi, for me it will always make sense that Afo is izuku’s father!!!

[shiroforest]

Aaaand Horikoshi-sensei didn't clarify whether DFO Theory is true or not until the very end

But until the very last chapter Izuku STILL has a panel that made him look like AFO/ has similarity with AFO.

Horikoshi-sensei said we can make our own interpretation right? Fine, I'll interpret The MANY similarity between AFO & Izuku and Izuku's real father never been shown even once until the very last chapter as a confirmation that AFO is Izuku's real father.

How? I don't know, but it's the multifaced, multiple-quirk-having AFO afterall, it's not like it's impossible at this point

Also bonus meme

[shiroforest]

I called it! Izuku really went back to his initial setting, where he fight alongside his classmates while being quirkless with gadget like batman

[shiroforest]

Sorry, can you please tell me which chapter this izuku is from? I've been looking for it

Because this face that Izuku looks alot like regenerating AFO here

They both have such big eyes 👀

That darker shade of Izuku's upper face 👀

[shiroforest]

1 chapter left in BNHA and yet there's STILL No mention of Izuku's father whatsoever

Though somehow Izuku saying "AFO told me that the path I'm about to walk is full of thorn"

Felt like a son remembering an advice from his father.

There's still 1 chapter left, usually it's a long one, so let's see if Horikoshi-sensei will fullfil his promise of revealing Izuku's Father or "leave it to our imagination"

[shiroforest]

There's a high possiblity for that, though there's still 1 chapter left, so we can't know for sure yet

Do you think he won't show Hisashi's story and leave it to our imaginations?

As with former OFA holders? 😭

Now what about dfo...?

It meant a lot to me...

Horikoshi said that Hisashi will be revealed in the future and we won't be disappointed...

[shiroforest]

Apparently BNHA only have 5 chapters left....

If in these 5 chapters it's revealed that dfo theory isn't true, than Izuku & AFO who shares MANY similarities is just like the case of Kudo & Bakugo,

Where 2 people not related by blood have striking similarities. Thus we would've been bamboozled by Horikoshi-sensei sensei this whole time, in which case kudos (pun intended) to him then, 'cuz i really ate the theory

But in return, I'd really like to see Izuku's real father, no way I'm gonna be satisfied if in a 400+ chapters manga where the theme "family" is quite thick, the protagonist' dad doesn't appear even once, especially when said protagonist literally saved the world while risking his life

Source from jump YT channel:

Translation from horikoshi-sensei's comment on the announcement:

"I'm sorry for the 2 weeks break! My schedule has been so stacked up to the point it looks like a Mille-feuille pastry. Only 5 more chapters and BNHA will be completed.

I know there'll be opinion like [there's still 5 more chapters?] or [It's only 5 more chapters ?] But i hope everyone can still enjoy it either way.

I'll do my best in these 5 more chapters, along with Deku & co.

This might sounds like a lip service, but me being able to draw Deku & co. For almost 10 years is thanks to everyone's support. It was a dream come true for me, Thank you very much.

Well then, let us meet again in Jump Comic someday"

I'm sorry, watching the anime, it really is hard to not speculate that AFO is Izuku's Father, I mean, even their thinking pose is the same

To convince me that Midoriya Hisashi is not AFO, i think i need to see the full face (and palm) of the man, his interaction with his family, and what he thinks of the recent events regarding his son who got involved with quirk-stealing supervillain. Since AFO can Alter his appearance

I've just realized that Jin's name is written in kanji as 仁, which is also the same kanji used in "ji" in Yuuji (悠仁).

仁 mean benevolence; consideration; compassion; charity and of all things, HUMANITY.

Which is All the things that Sukuna, Jin's "Former" twin brother, lacks, in a truly good sense anyway

This is as if symbolizing that When Sukuna Killed his Twin brother, He LOST HIS HUMANITY,

Similar to how when Mai dies, Maki lost all her cursed energy.

I think This is also symbolizes why Yuuji is such a good natured character in contrast with his "uncle", because he's the son of whom said uncle's humanity and good will disappeared with.

(No matter how crazy Jin was, still wanting to have a child with his clearly suspicious, supposedly-died wife)

Which might be one of the things that made Sukuna hates Yuuji, because Yuuji has what Sukuna had lost unknowingly all of this time

To be fair, Gran Torino did say "death can be a form of salvation too" or something along those line. I'm quite satisfied with the chapter personally, but i guess everyone have their own cup of tea

The only good thing about that chapter is the fact it means this horrible and disastrous arc will be finally and thankfully over and the manga will most likely end soon. Im really glad that Im not that invested in mha anymore otherwise I would be way more pissed off. Unbelievable how you can fuck up an final arc so bad and do your own characters so dirty.

Izuku deserved better.

Tomura deserved better.

Mr compress literally sacreficed his own ass for nothing. He deserved better.

Every single other lov member deserved better.

The ua students deserved better.

The ofa vestiges deserved better.

Afo deserved better.

The ONLY character hori paid attention to and cared about was that horrible written, ugly and screaming waste of space, who he calls his favorite character.

Listen, I get that the job of a mangaka is stressful and can have bad effects on your health. But that doesnt justify you should rush the end of the story and dissapoint your readers like that. That an author cant make everyone of his readers happy is logical, but with this chapter it feels like hori deliberately planned to piss off almost the whole fanbase and Im not sure he can turn this around again even with a twist in the next chapters.

Im a big dfo believer and I still think its canon. I believe hori will keep his promise when he said "you wont be dissapointed" when hisashi will finally be "revealed". But even if he confirms it at the very end, the rest of this manga was sadly still a huge dissapointment and waste of my time. Dont make one of your main themes "villains are humans too and deserve to be saved" if in the end they die anyway all alone and miserable or will end up in prison. Yes, they should face consequences for their crimes, but they cant become better people again, if they are DEAD! Dont choose a theme for your story if in the end you go against it!

Chapter 423, basically

[shiroforest]

That... Actually makes sense!!! as to why inko and izuku is still being provided, Izuku is AFO's son after all, abandoning such a fine specimen would totally be a waste for Garaki, so he probably arranged the whole "working abroad" thing

Garaki would also parallels palpatine who knowingly seperated anakin and his wife(&kids) in star wars

|| 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. ||

[shiroforest]

Imma call it now,

Now that Izuku doesn't have OFA or even it's amber anymore, Izuku gonna inherit Toshinori's technology that can imitates quirks and be a hero with it, essentially going back into Izuku's original concept, where he's a Quirkless kid competing with his classmates using gadgets

[shiroforest]

Welp, even if AFO shows no reaction nor mention Izuku when he's about to vanish (again), there's still no mention of Izuku's real father.

Unless we see concrete proof that Izuku's father is not AFO by showing who Izuku's father really is, I'm not convinced that DFO theory isn't true

ESPECIALLY now that Izuku's birthday is around the corner (15th July), and last year, we got this cover from horikoshi-sensei in a chapter released in 19 july (a release date that's close to Izuku's birthday)

At least in this chapter, we got to see that Izuku sees AFO as who he really is, a HUMAN who is lonely, not some unfathomable monster, nor a demon lord

Like how Luke Skywalker sees Anakin Skywalker as who he really is in star wars

Also, if DFO Theory really turns out to be wrong, then Horikoshi-sensei really tricked us with Izuku& AFO's parallels and similarity, like how Kudou (2nd OFA user) and Bakugo looks similar but not related at all

[shiroforest]

Y'know, at first i thought, "how does Izuku plan on winning against ShigarAFO if he doesn't have OFA anymore?

But seeing this chapter, i think i get it,

If anyone else had tried to get close to ShigarAFO, he'd just steal their quirk,

So Izuku, who technically doesn't have any quirk, can just beat ShigarAFO all he wants with the amber of stockpiled power from OFA, while the others can divert ShigarAFO's attack from Izuku or pull Izuku back if it got too dangerous

Plus, if AFO somehow ever decided to give Izuku a quirk to make Izuku becomes like nomu, izuku would just use that against him, since Izuku has experience in handling multiple quirks without being like a Nomu. (Which is pretty strange in and of itself unless it turns out quirkless people can normally do that OR a certain theory is actually true)

There's this movie called "Onmyoji 0" and it has PV that features Itadori's and Nanami s Voice actor, and I'm almost 100% they made this with the image of Itadori and (Friendly) Nanami talking

doesn't help that there's a Heian period and Jujutsu, 呪術 (sorcery) involved in the movie, or a 0 on the title of the movie

[shiroforest]

Star Wars If written by Gege be like:

Gojo Kenobi be like:

"Yuuji, Use the Fists"

"The strongest... Now that's a title i haven't heard since being inside the prison realm"

"That's no Suguru, that's someone else"

"Suguru, my allegiance is to the Jujutsu High, to the General Mass!"
