All Might starts throwing a temper tantrum about how much he has invested in Deku and leaps over the table and starts choking his mom.

I'd like to point out this is why Horikoshi-sensei is an amazing writer. There is where he chose to put the pivotal moment upon. I seriously think is some amazing writing.... on the same level as Urasawa Naoki.

Naoki Urasawa is definitely good, but after you've read a bunch of his stuff you start to see some patterns. In a way I would actually put MHA above most Urasawa stuff, because it feels less "gimmicky" for some reason I can't quite articulate.

(Some Urasawa stuff, like Pluto, manages to break the mold, but I notice that Monster and 20th Century Boys are written in a very similar way with a bunch of kind of gimmicky (yet still catchy/interesting) cliffhangers.)

I think it got moved to a seinen magazine with part 7.

I can name many shonens where the protagonist's have at least 1 living parent. A lot less if I had to specify the mother being alive, but still.

The parental situations of Jojo Protagonists is unique in its own way that is distinct from the way in which Hero Academia is.

JoJo is 100% seinen by this point, it's pretty fair to say though that by Part 6, it was quite actively pulling away from being shonen.

The protagonist of One Piece (the biggest shonen manga since Dragonball, and in serialization since 1997) has a living father, and the status of his mother is unconfirmed (and thus she could be alive as well).

At this point we should just start taking bets on what really happened to Izuku's dad.

Was he killed in an accident?
Was he killed by a villain?
Did he abandon his family because he couldn't handle having a quirkless son?
Is he just conveniently away on a business trip forever?

Him and Dekus mom probably just went through an amicable divorce, and Dekus mom retained custody.

I'd actually like that, if just because it's a pretty normal explanation instead of some convoluted theory where Deku's dad is ACTUALLY Endeavour/a villain/etc. And also because hey, divorce is a thing that happens irl and you barely ever see it in kids manga.

Honestly, I'm more interested in everyone else's family situation. Does Tokoyami have a birdy family? What the heck are Shouji's parents like??

Alternately it would be really funny if Deku's dad was some chump weak villain he had to deal with and then they reconciled

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Less good does not mean bad. It means Big Dekumom is even better.

Living the Dream
I just like all of the little touches regarding his childhood- him in the All Might onesy "saving" his mom gives me diabetes and it's basically perfect and something 99% of other shounen writers wouldn't put in.

This conversation wouldn't be happening if drat near any other shounen writer was handling it because a typical shounen mom would be psychotically supportive or be dead.
