(о´∀`о)

Some people can think that it's just an extreme fanon theory, but it's not. And we're gonna see why :)

I'm gonna talk you about one of the biggest mystery of bnha, the question that everyone has asked themselves at least once while reading the manga, or watching the anime:

where the fuck is izuku's dad.

•••

There is two situation really really basic, about protanists families.

The first one is simple:

•the protagonist/main caracter must have at least 1 parent dead. Do I have to mention an exemple? No.

This rule is not applicated in bnha, because Izuku's two parent are still alive.

Then the second situation:

• if the two parents are alive, one of them is surely absent. We don't know anything about the absent one, so this is a mystey.

Gimme one shonen anime where the two parents are alive and present at same time? Okay we can continue.

•••

When we think about that, horikoshi don't really have a reason to hide the identity of izuku's dad. We're at a dead point in the story. Almost the end. End we don't even know what he looks like.

So it's clearly sure that somethin' gonna happen about this subject.

He honestly didn't need to hide this caracter, if there wasn't any secret around it of cousre.

We just know some TINY informations about him. They aren't even complete as info.

I first gonna write my theory, and then my proofs. I think that all for one might be is izuku's dad.

•••

First, we can begin with his name ひさし Hisashi. You probably know that horikoshi likes to hide things in caracters names kanjis.

Hisashi means ''a long time''. There's a very popular japanese expression ''hisashi buri'' that means ''long time no see''. Hisashi's kanjis other meanings are ''live'' ''long time'' ''still'' ''eternal''.

We can say that ''long time no see'' can be for izuku, who haven't saw his father for a long time, but this is too evident.

What about it's reference to afo? All for one is old. He's from the first generation of quirks. He's 100+ years old. Long time ago... All for one existed since a long time ago.

•••

Another information we know about Hisashi Midoriya, is his fire quirk. We don't know how powerful it is, how far he can use it, or even what color is his flames. We don't know anything.

All for one have for sure a lot of quirks, he can surely use one of them as a cover.

I let you know that All for one has once used a fire quirk, in ''All Might Rising'', in a battle against Nana Shimura.

•••

And the last information we canonly know about Hisashi Midoriya, is that he works overseas (reason why he's not with his family).

Guess what?

The first time All for one appeared in the manga, there was this obvious building in the backround.

The Chrysler Building.

In New york.

Yeah buddies, the first time All for one appeared in the story, he was also overseas.

HMMMM. SUSPICIOUS.

•••

A detail, his family name. If we look at Midoriya's kanjis, especially ''midori'', it's means ''green''.

Did you noticed that ''green'' is the caractersitic (caradesign) of izuku AND his mom. Hisashi surly didn't had green hairs. In Japan, it's common that men take their wife's family name. So, I'm sure that ''midoriya'' is inko's real family name.

(This was for people asking why izuku and afo don't have the same last name etc.)

•••

Believe me or not, we already know Hisashi Midoriya, we already saw him in the story. Horikoshi said we were in final arc of bnha. One of the last fight.

Is not really the right moment to introduce a new person, when bnha is going to end.

Horikoshi can't say ''oh yeah and this (random) guy was izuku's dad, voilà."

And there, as a proof, we have this offical tweet:

If you've noticed, they used the term "revealed", it's not the same as introduced. It means that we already know him, he's already intorduced in the story. And that there will be a REVEAL.

(Japan is in fuckin' war right know, man.If you were a father, wouldn't you join your family, give news, call your son who has the duty to save the world? Srsly)

•••

Inko and Hisashi are still married. (10+ year long distance realtion, congratulation). We don't even know if he's aware his son developped a quirk or not.  Izuku didn't mention, even once his dad's name in the WHOLE manga. When his was about to die, he firstly thought about All might, Bakugo or his mom. Isn't that funny?

At waht point of your relationship with your dad, can you ignore him that much?

(Bnha manga chap 97, Inko is talking to someone (probably Hisashi) , go and read it if you want)

I've heard a lot of theory about ''yeah izuku had a quirk but afo/his dad stole it'', and honestly, I think that izuku was really quirkless.

If izuku is really all for one's son, it justifies why he doesn't have a quirk. As a remembering, the children of the first generations has least chances to develop a quirk than the children of the newest generations.

All for one was from the first geenration of quirks.

•••

I can't write a theory about bnha, if I don't talk about STARWARS.

Might sounds funny for you.

If you didn't know, horikoshi is a big fan of starwars and we have a lot of references in the story (places, names, caracters, etc..) Starwars was one of the biggest inspiration for him. There's a lot of interview about that. You can find this information easily.

We can also notice a lot of parallels between bnha and starwars:

•Izuku and Luke are the main caracters.

•All might is Izuku's mantor, Obi Wan is Luke's mantor.

•Grantorino obvioulsy represent Yoda. Izuku and Luke both had an improving arc with the ''wise guy''.

•if someone thinks that All for one don't represent Dark vador, this person is blind.

•Dark vador and afo both have a machine to breathe, their faces are burned, because of a fight against All might/Obi wan (the mantors).

And horikoshi said it himself.

Wouldn't that be the finest homage to Starwars and the best way to wrap up the story, even narratively?

They both like to analyze quirks (and afo is pretty good at it) In the whole manga, there isn't ONE character who has this passion. Except izuku and his lovely dad afo.

(Do you remember the ''save bakugo'' mission? Afo had a quirk to localise people, their weaknesses and strengths. He didn't order Shigaraki to do anything to izuku?)

•••

Anyway, guys, if this really happens, this will the best things And spectacular turn of events ever. There isn't any reason to hide izuku's father identity. Why did horikoshi hide this? Because his dad is someone important.

Don't forgot that Horikoshi is a walking brain, a genius.

If you have something to ad, go on. I didn't write everything, because the theory would go too far.

(Bonus: Hisashi ''long time ago'' can also be a reference to all starwars movies beginning. ''Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...)

(Just a thought: afo is the one who can use multiple quirks. The manga told us that someone who try to use more than one quirk turn into something like a brainless nomu. Afo being Izuku's dad is maybe the reason why Izuku can use the quirks of all OFA carriers? Yeah that was just thought tho)
