I never doubted that Tobi would be Obito and I'll never doubt Dad for One theories or Dabi Todoroki. Dad for One is a popular theory that's mostly built off of circumstantial evidence and gut feeling. That said, people saying it can't be true because some omakes and guidebooks say otherwise are being naive.

It would suck because it'd add nothing. It's a much better story if they are not related at all in fact it would be detrimental to the storytelling because that'd mean our protagonist became who is because of nepotism

Fartbox posted:Why do dads always have to be someone special. I hope his dad is just "some guy" I think it's the lack of details that causes people to speculate wildly. All we know about him is his name, quirk, and that he "works overseas", and that last part is just from Inko's character profile from one of the volumes. With so little information out there, it leads people to try and fill the gaps with all kinds of ideas. The fact that Deku never talks or thinks about his dad in any way is a bit weird. Even something as simple as a family picture or a scene of Deku talking to him on the phone or something would probably cut down on the speculation a lot. I don't want him to be All For One, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's more important that just some guy.

Deku's dad is Van Hohenheim, and when we finally see him in a family photo he'll be shooting waterfalls out of his eyes.

NikkolasKing posted:How popular is the theory that All for One is Deku's father? My GF is very big on this. I was talking to her about the theories for why AFO's theme plays when Deku fought Overhaul and that was her input. AFO's theme plays because the mood of the scene is from Overhaul's perspective. Between that and Deku silhouetted before knocking off his mask, it frames how terrifying Deku (and All Might by extension) would be to a villain at full power. Even the shot of Overhaul's face looks wide-eyed and scared.

See, Dabi's a good one to bring up because it's basically the opposite of Dad for One as far as the evidence goes. We keep getting increasingly large hints at there being some story behind Dabi, and that it connects somehow with the drama from the other fire powered characters. Meanwhile, the evidence for Dad for One is that we haven't seen Deku's dad, and "Star Wars?". To the limited extent there's been anything referencing it, it's been negative. There's been no odd glances from All for One to Deku, no talk about how Deku's dad stopped sending letters after All for One was arrested, no nothing. There's probably going to be something done with Deku's dad, but I'd think there'd be more groundwork if that was going to be the reveal. I'd sooner bet on Uraraka and Shigaraki being related since they both need to use all five fingers for their quirks.

Deku's father is one of 2 things 1. Just some poor schlub keeping his family well cared for with money from his overseas job. This is less suspicious, I imagine, to Japanese audiences than American ones. It's an archetype in Japanese media. 2. Some mid to low level villain in keeping his family well cared for with money from his overseas crimes.

ninjewtsu posted:What hints have we gotten with dabi Well, the main one is him being the only member of the league of villains whose name is still unknown, and who very specifically didn't meet Endeavor. But we also hear things like that one year a work study went really bad, and Dabi joined up after Stain's speeches, when Stain was noted as going after the former number 2 hero. It's not thick on the ground, exactly, but there's enough to hint something's going on.

But we also hear things like that one year a work study went really bad, and Dabi joined up after Stain's speeches, when Stain was noted as going after the former number 2 hero. Maybe all the burns are from him being pushed too far by Endeavor but his lack of an ice quirk to regulate his body caused the injuries. And thus Endeavor concluded he was no good and moved on to Shoto. Dabi also specifically mocks Shoto when he sees him. chiasaur11 posted:See, Dabi's a good one to bring up because it's basically the opposite of Dad for One as far as the evidence goes.

ninjewtsu posted:What hints have we gotten with dabi Dabi is the only League member who's name isn't known. His stated reason for joining the League is Stain's speach but has never shown any sort of care for changing society or idiolisation of him like Spinner or Toga, so people take the part of the speach insulting Endeavor as what drew him in. He very specifically called out Todoroki to taunt him when they took Bakugo. Todoroki has a second brother who is only vaguely mentioned and who's face is never shown. Some manga stuff that hasn't happened in the anime yet which implies a connection to Endeavor beyond a fire quirk with the same drawbacks.

I guess there could be satisfying parallel - All for One's heir being connected to All Might and vice versa. But All For One is like a century old and spent most of it running crime rings, I doubt he has many personal relationships, especially that would be unremarkable for an average teenager.

All For One being Deku's dad would be the dumbest poo poo. Dude is like ninety years old. There's nothing in the story that textually supports it, no important thematic element it would get across. It's just fans wanting to "outsmart" the story because the most important thing is proving You Called It online.

CharlestonJew posted:I feel that if AfO did have any kids he wouldn't need Shigaraki Well he apparently only took Tomura in to gently caress with All Might but later on came to the conclusion Tomura's personality or Quirk or both lent themselves to making him the future embodiment of villainy. There's something special about Shigaraki. Even if All forOne had his own son, maybe the kid would turn out more like his uncle and be a decent person. Shigaraki was more amenable to being groomed and "evolving" into the next generation of villain.

The current year is measured by the epoch of the arrival of All Might. Like you would ABY/BBY in a Star Wars timeline. It’s something like 16 AAM
