#afo Inko

[absorbedpoem74]

Okay, let’s take a look at some of the STARWARS references that convince me that Afo and Izuku are related and most likely father and son.

Afo and Anakin(Darth Vader) before their injury say almost exactly the same thing.

The battle which left them injured by the teacher of the protagonist who plays their part later on in the story.

Musutafu is a reference to Mustafar, the place where the fight of Anakin and obi wan took place. Musutafu is also the place where all might fought afo for the third time, where the war is currently taking place since ua is in Musutafu and where Izuku’s apartment is. We still don’t know where all might’s and afo’s first battle took place but it’s a possibility it did there.

Their bodies were stolen, saved, and given their mask so they could breathe.

There's a picture of a padme flower in the apartment. Padme was Anakin's wife.

If we consider the Star Wars storyline the reveal is what follows. Afo better reach Deku.

fuck it *domesticates your supervillain*

[summonedbunny]

Its very awkward when your child attends the same school as your most hated enemy's child. Even more so when the two kids are best friends. ( ◡̀_◡́)

|| 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). ||

[hatsunevita]

dfo theory is so funny to me especially when it’s combined with InkoMight au cuz just imagine inko having dated only two men in her life and it’s the world’s greatest hero and the world’s most powerful villain

mitsuki: Why did it take you so long to find a new man?

inko: I have sort of high standards.

mitsuki: Oh? How high?

inko: Well, you see…

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!

[gentrychild]

Gentry, I low key be shipping AFO and Kurogiri in Anyone. How much to make them canon? Or at least to imply they're a thing.

I... Well... I... Listen. While I will admit this would be one hell of an explanation as to why Kurogiri is taking AFO's side instead of Izuku's, Kurogiri is still one of the most responsible members of the group and while he has made a lot of bad decisions in his life (seriously, a lot of bad and dumb decisions), he has his limits.

Kurogiri is the man who has been AFO's taxi service AND bartender since he was 16. He saw all the petty and dumb things that motivated AFO to go from point 1 to point B quickly. He has heard AFO's unfiltered opinions on too many things, including his little brother. And that's before meeting Yami, because let's be serious, anyone getting with AFO also get Izuku in the deal, no matter how much Izuku disagrees with it.

Kurogiri simply doesn't have so little self worth and urge to self destruct to hook up with a yandere nuke who holds grudges like it's an Olympic sport and who will smother anything he loves until they die, unless said something has a quirk about as strong as AFO himself and is willing to murder him.

"Midoriya can't have AFO, he's Quirkless!"

DUDE. ALL FOR ONE STARTS WITHOUT QUIRKS. IT'S A BLANK SLATE.

IF MIDORIYA DIDN'T KNOW "HISASHI'S" REAL QUIRK, HE'D NEVER REALIZE HE MIGHT NOT BE QUIRKLESS

AFO could only use an Ability at birth because he stole his mother's immediately. But at the start, All For One is just giving and stealing Quirks; there's nothing to start with (Quirks) that's usable before something is taken.

Garaki also mentioned the double-jointed pinky toe is used as a general measure. But remember again, this is Garaki, who's been working with AFO for decades. He knows things everyone else doesn't. He could totally diagnose Izuku as Quirkless if AFO told him to.

And when Midoriya tried using his parents' Quirks, he only ever tried pulling objects toward him. He never tried pulling people.

Two,

"Hisashi has a fire breathing Quirk"

AFO proves he carries around dud Quirks. Why is he carrying around a belly button laser from the advent of Quirks, up to the present time?

Three,

"Midoriya doesn't have holes in his palms"

Cough. Latest chapters hinting (written as of 421). Cough.

But also, Inko's Quirk lets her pull things towards her. Considering evolution, and the fact everyone but Endeavor gets the perfect fusion for Quirked children, Izuku could have "pull" combined with "All For One".

What if he doesn't need holes in his palms because he can steal Quirks from a distance? An upgraded version of AFO.

Also, Midoriya feels comforted having his hands held, but just a reminder that Inko's Quirk pulls things toward her using her hands, so his comfort could be influenced by that....

Sorry, I posted the same pictures 😋

Wives with fucked-up husbands, sons with low self-esteem and a burden of responsibility and kind younger brothers of the husband 🥲

[absorbedpoem74]

These are some similar panels of Izuku and All for One that convinced me about the DFO theory.

1: they both point their finger the same way.

2: their face shape and hair.

3: they place their hands EXACTLY at the same position when they think.

4: side profile.

5: they clench their fists when they get happy the same way.

I know Afo still doesn't look like him that much, almost nothing alike, BUT we know that Izuku is a copy-paste of Inko so it's obvious he does not look like his dad.

[pocketramblr]

Tomura: Did you fuck my dad, Sensei???

so like do you think AfO was thinking 'oh yeah ive seen this trope, my future evil successor will be soooo mad that i knew his dad carnally and i can use that to... control him better'(i guess???)

[fractiflos]

Something interesting about Deku's name

Okay, we all know Midoriya means "green valley" to reference his hair, but I got curious and looked at the wiki to see what his first name meant.

Izu - "coming out/being from a certain place, one's turn to go on"

Ku - "long ago, old story"

Ku is homophonous to nine, which is supposed to reference him being the ninth holder of OFA, but looking at the meaning, I can't help but wonder if this happened:

AFO: I can't wait for Repla- er... Little Yoichi to be born. Inko: Yoichi? AFO: After my dead brother. I hope he ends up looking just like him. Inko: ...You know, I heard that it's bad luck to name your child after a dead relative, because then they'll meet the same fate. AFO: But I want to honor him! Inko: *Looking through a baby name book* How about Izuku? It has the kanji for "one's turn to go on" and "long ago". AFO: How is that a reference? Inko: Well, it's his turn at life and your brother died long ago. Besides, it's homophonous to "nine" and your brother had the kanji for "first" so I think it fits. AFO: *Thoroughly convinced* Alright, Izuku it is.

[kitsunefyuu]

Well Hisashi is now Schrödinger's cat because nothing was confirmed NOR denied about him. Meaning Horikoshi legit just forgot to reveal his dad at all. SMH.

[diamondcz27]

Izuku inherited cuteness from his mother and good looks from his father.

And his uncle's character and eyes.
