In Shigaraki's psyche, Izuku saw a memory that's neither his nor Shigaraki's, and that memory is actually AFO's.

It's from 1st person point of view, in there, AFO seems to be acquainted with Shigaraki's Father, and AFO apparently worked in construction in Koga city (idk what 甲賀建設 Exactly means, but 建設 means construction or establishment, and 甲賀 is a city in Shiga Prefecture, and it's pretty close to Shizuoka Prefecture, where Izuku&his mom live)

Then AFO invited Shigaraki's Father over a drink, and asked about Shigaraki's quirk, to which his father said it still hasn't appeared/identified yet

You know what this means???

AFO must've LIVED A NORMAL LIVE sometimes to get acquainted with Shigaraki's Father while also monitor him!! Due to his connection with Nana.

And AFO asking about Shigaraki's quirk can either means he's monitoring if "Decay" has developed OR if Shigaraki can be GIVEN "Decay" later on.

This might also indicate that AFO also acquainted with Shimura household as a normal person, and if this shadowed figure with suits whom looked like AFO is indeed AFO, then it must've been like a family friend escorting the son back home

Anyway, AFO finally came out of Shigaraki's suppression, now we can see some Izuku and AFO interaction and maybe a confirmation about the validity of DFO theory!!!!

*it's also suspicious Izuku still DIDN'T GET TO SEE AFO's full face even from AFO's memory

**out of context, but AFO in his memory asked if Shigaraki's father had a lower back pain, and offered to introduce him to a good doctor, and i can't help but think "lol, it's just gonna be dr. Garaki isn't it? And he probably gonna order Garaki to do something to the only son of Nana" and the fact that AFO spoke to Shigaraki's Father SO POLITELY/using keigo (敬語) is weirdly nice, I'd like to see him speaks normally FULL FACE

***the irony of the villain who wrecked havoc in the country, might also once worked in construction of all places. Though it can be reasoned with "in order to destroy thoroughly, one must know how to built"

They are so similar

Hori is just messing with us at this point

Here is something someone pointed out to me on the AFO discord. I don't know Japanese, so take things with a grain of salt to not spread misinformation! But. . . Koga - the construction company that AFO had/worked at.

How it's written in the Japanese version: 甲 - armour/first class 賀 - celebration.

Okay, nothing specific.

BUT... What other way can Koga be spelled as? 久我

AND GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS!

久- Hisashi 我 - I/myself (I am Hisashi) … Yea

This is kind of a crack thought, but I’d love it if Horikoshi made DFO canon

but in the most anticlimactic way possible.

Like, we don’t see it during Bakugou’s fight, we don’t see it during Midoriya’s fight (and Shigaraki’s memories), but instead it’s after everything is over.

Everybody’s healing and getting better, and then Izuku and Katsuki, bored out of their minds, just decide to watch the footage of all the fights.

Squished together on a hospital bed, they’re watching Bakugou’s footage first (cuz Kacchan sugoi) and then Izuku’s like “hmmm hold on why does AFO look familiar?”

and then when they’re done, they watch All Might’s footage and Izuku’s eyes bug out of his head and goes “HOLY SHIT WAIT THATS MY DAD”

And then Katsuki just goes “huh. no wonder the fucker wasn’t around.”

and they just. move on.

I think it would be nice to have a quirk that allows you to "summon a deceased relative". Unfortunately Izuku's deceased relative is All For One.

Someone: My tastes in characters have changed a lot since childhood.

My masterpiece taste: Green idiots and their evil fathers (all Japanese).

And then we have this AFO who looks just like Izuku

Horikoshi-sensei is either not paying enough attention or meticulously foreshadowing a certain theory

[pizrad]

This is so cute✨️🥺, when I have time, if I can find more comics like this ❤️❤️

You know, this covers could very well represent Tomura receiving OFA and Izuku awakening AFO

Similarities between afo and izuku part2

AFO’s and lzuku’s way of planning. They both think many routes but have only ONE goal on their mind. Izuku wanted to grab bakugo and leave but afo(chapter 408) wants to get away from him and kill him at the same time. The difference 😭.

Izuku is shown in Afo’s colours. I’d say this is a coincidence but why give Tomura All might’s colours and izuku Afo’s all in one drawing. It’s like they are a different side from the same coin *cough cough*

Even their fingers are the same.

No comment.

They are both fascinated by quirks and love to analyse them.

Katsuki knew this kid when he was 4, they would play and pretend to be heroes almost daily. He remembered the boys green fluffy curls and sparkling round eyes and his insistence to follow him. At the time it was annoying, at the time he was a stupid kid who didn’t realize how happy he was. He teased the boy and nicknamed him Deku.

Then the boy with green hair and eyes introduced his dad. Katsuki immediately hated the man, and he made a poor impression by kicking him in the shin when he grabbed Deku by the arm. The father told Izuku at the end of their hang out he didn’t like Katsuki and they were going to have to limit their visits.

The few times they hung up from the point on Katsuki realized the green eyes were sad, he mentioned lightly how his dad knew best and getting in trouble was the worst and time outs were so cold and dark. The boy told him he wasn’t allowed to play heroes anymore. Deku mentioned his father was at the limit, and if his quirk didn’t show up soon he’d be in big trouble. They pretended that day that Deku had found his quirk. He looked at the green eyes and grinned, ‘I’ll bet it’ll come tomorrow.’ Deku smiled sadly, ‘tomorrow would be too late.’

That was the last time he saw Deku. After a week of unexplained absence their teacher called the police. And Izuku Midoriya became a missing person.

Looking back into his memories Katsuki realized Izuku had enormous bruises and scars under his shirt and that his fathers presence immediately petrified Izuku making him quiet and obedient. He had no evidence and the police officer who did listen to a 5 year old didn’t find Deku. Katsuki grew up and made a promise. Even when all the heroes gave up on finding Izuku, he looked into the stars and promised to find Izuku as his first task as a Prohero. There was no option for failure.

Then he was kidnapped by the league and met all for one face to face. He called him a little hero. Mocking him. But the name felt like a memory. Izuku’s father had said it at one time with just as much loathing. All for one was the horrible man he kicked in the shins, the one who took his Deku.

That day Katsuki had a quirk awakening. But all for one had Escaped.

He trained and studied under Aizawa and All Might. Learning quickly he was no match in skill. But would steal the lost boy just as AFO did. Quietly and while no one was looking. They proceeded with care. Everything fell together when they found a recording of a boy in a dirty shirt looking out a window his hair filled with dirty ratty and long with just a hint of green at the roots.

Katsuki with his first day on the job as a prohero faked an injury. Hundreds of heroes raided a nomu lab the following week and Katsuki slipped into the building and and found Deku. He was small, clearly malnourished, pale and shivering. Izuku saw him and tried to run but his foot was chained to the ground. Katsuki knelt and he used that old nickname that fit like an old glove and a small flicker of recognition sparkled in Izuku’s eyes. Izuku took his hand and finally after all those years.

Katsuki had found Izuku and took him home.
