All for One is actually Midoriya Hisashi, and in this essay i will
AND IN THIS ESSAY I WILL PROVE TO YOU THAT AFO AND THE MAN KNOWN AS MIDORIYA HISASHI IS IN FACT THE SAME PERSON
WHAT WE KNOW:
starting off with his name, “Hisashi” can means and can be read as “A long time ago”, this could be a play on the fact the man hasnt been around his family in 10+ years by itself, or the fact that Hisashi is actually a 200 year old man born from “a long time ago” (he probably picked his name to try to be clever lmao)
Hisashi was out of his wife’s and son’s lives at a very early stage to the point where we never got to see what he looked like, (running the underground can be busy work with All Might on your trail afterall, planning to get rid of OFA once and for all, failing and getting himself injured roughly around when Izuku was 9 years old, can’t exactly go back to your family when you look like an overgrown potato now can you?)
Horikoshi confirmed that Hisashi will be making an official appearance later in the story, AFO is currently held in tartarus but do you really expect he’ll stay there? Such a major and interesting villain rotting away in a cell for the rest of the series? absolutely not. he’s going to show up once again some way or another, and with Eri being in the story, a character that can reverse time on a person, it’s very possible he could end up being healed to how he was before
As you all know the quirkless were in the majority 200 years ago, you were more likely to give birth to a quirkless child than a quirked one even if one or both parents themselves had quirks between them. AFO is likely either a first or second generation quirk user, who is more likely to pass off a quirkless gene to any offspring he might have (Izuku)
Izuku has a deep fascination with quirks, has a dozen notebooks filled with information around said quirks and figuring out the best ways to utilize them, i wonder who else is obsessed over quirks and their applications …… 🤔
In a quirked society where peoples appearances can be subtly affected outside of their own quirks (ex; Kirishima’s sharp teeth, Mina’s horns and eyes, Shinsou’s wild purple hair, tokoyami’s head, ect ect) Izuku is described as “plain looking” a few times, which will again tie back to AFO being in a time before quirks truly took its effects over people and their appearances, and im betting that AFO himself probably has a somewhat normal looking face
You really think Mr “I sense All Might is Coming” didnt notice a handful of kids hiding behind a wall? Especially when one of said kids is All Might’s successor? AFO couldve used Izuku as a way to devastate All Might and defeat him in his grief, while ending the OFA line once and for all, and yet, he didnt
Also you all know how izuku cant properly tie a tie (because hes a disaster)
AFO wears fancy suits and YET is never seen wearing a tie
coincidence? I think NOT
theyre both disasters
thank u for coming to my ted talk
Adding on:
MANGA SPOILERS
We know Izuku is unlocking the previous OFA holders quirks, something never done before. I think one of them even said “its finally happening” or something like that.
If AFO was Hisashi whose quirk is taking and using multiple quirks at once, wouldnt it make sense that his son may have inhereted the ability to use multiple quirks and thats why theyre unlocking?
We know that the first holder of OFA was quirkless then given power by AFO/had the quirk to pass quirks. And that they were brothers, which means AFO could have the same genes to recreate that quirk. Which means Izuku could have been born with a similar quirk, had the pinkie toe anamoly, and be written off as quirkless.
Anyway yeah AFO is prob Hisashi and god i cant wait for that reveal.
an excellent point!!
EDIT:
i got an ask about this and went ahead and shared my (lengthy) opinion and thought process over this! added it under the cut to pile on to the gathering evidence of the TRUTH
Keep reading
MORE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PROVIDED
Hisashi is working “over-seas”
in one panel when Shigaraki calls AFO we are briefly shown a city background, said city has some similarities to that in America
and then theres this manga volume cover
the one over shigaraki is poised as that of controlling a puppet
while the hand at the bottom is holding bakugou in his hand but is also poised under izuku in a more gentle way (it could only be seen as AFO showing he has bakugou in the palm of his hand) but still interesting none the less!
theres also this:
With AFO’s injury he cant go back to his family, All Might took that away from him and AFO is absolutely pissed over it
CONTINUING EVEN FARTHER because someone on discord keeps giving me such juicy info:
AFO’s doctor
he is known as Dr. Tsubasa, the same Tsubasa that diagnosed Izuku has quirkless
Izuku grew up with a kid that had large red bat wings, and his name was Tsubasa
Tsubasa who we didnt see in middle school by the time the story starts
and then we are given this by Hirokoshi:
Tsubasa’s grandson was taken as a Nomu experiment, was is by convenience? A test stage? …or maybe a punishment? Younger Tsubasa bullied Izuku as kids, its very possible AFO found out his doctors grandson was doing so and lashed out, while making the elder Tsubasa cover his grandson going missing (oof)
now we’re moving onto Izukus quirk - more importantly how he uses it
both Izuku and AFO shoot off lightening when utilizing their quirk
hell, when izuku uses more power red lines dance across his body
this could just be due to OFA being connected to AFO or could it be something else i wonder? 🤔
another note! Horikoshi is a big fan of Star Wars! he has even pitched in a collaboration of the series (link) and has a reference scattered here and there in his own series
a major one being AFO himself, or rather, his mask
now a ive never seen a star wars movie in my life but a quirk google search and -!
He needs his mask and armor in order to live when mobile, doesnt that just sound familiar to a certain super villain?
if AFO continues farther in being a Darth Vader reference then, well, we all know the famous scene and reveal
🤔🤔🤔
a very recent pic of AFO before his injury, we can see he has a bit of some curls and if you squint really hard you can see some traces of freckles!
Sorry @moonpaw, but I have one solid piece of evidence that says AfO can’t be his dad.
The man can tie a tie.
you fool
inko is the one who tied it for him
WHERE IS YOUR PROOF? THIS IS A WILD CLAIM.
DAD FOR ONE THEORISTS RISE UP
Okay all of this really holds together and yeah I totally can see it but may I call your attention to one little detail????
“now i’ve never seen a star wars movie in my life”
WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ
YOUR THEORIES ARE NOW IMPLAUSIBLE BECAUSE I’M PRETTY FUCKING SURE YOU CAN’T BE TRUSTED I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE SEEN STAR WARS IT’S NOT ONLY HELLA IMPOSSIBLE BUT ALSO HELLO???? THIS IS TUMBLR???????? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING, CLAIMING TO NOT HAVE SEEN STAR WARS WHEN CLEARLY THAT’S A CLEVER RUSE TO KEEP OUR ATTENTION FROM SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT PERHAPS????? LIKE…. MAYBE YOU ARE ALL FOR ONE.
The reason Izuku can't tie a tie is because AFO wasn't there to TEACH HIM and his mom probably couldn't either-
