I like Deku's "this bitch" face at the mob being like "Yeah, well maybe she should stop being a mutant if she doesn't want to be discriminated against."

Also this is all overshadowing the cute giant mutant lady Deku rescues. I have no idea what she is supposed to be though.

I thought she was a shark at first, now I have no idea beyond miscellaneous rodent. Maybe that's why they mistook her for a monster.

Deku using float to get high enough to hold the umbrella over her is adorable.

My prediction for Vigilantes is that Koichi will be given the chance to drop the Crawler persona and have it reported as mistaken identity, because it doesn't seem like he's getting out of this, and he isn't the type to go on the run.

the dude has like three lines come on

also he doesn't know who deku is

also also deku would have recognized bakugo, or would have ending this chapter realizing that one of his new quirks is Explosion

all of the evidence is extremely superficial

If anything it reminds me of the jojo theory of "Josuke was rescued by his time-traveling future self"

That is to say, its dumb and mostly based on two characters looking vaguely similar

The thing about Josuke's backstory that makes it sillier is that Koichi has no idea what the guy looks like, so he's superimposing a mental image of Josuke over the person in the flashback.

I'm still almost positive that this was going to be where that was headed. At the time. But whether the story changed as Araki wrote the characters and plot, or maybe he just realized how dumb and boring that'd be: it didn't.

The thing is Tobi = Obito was a meme too. Alot of people just kind of ironically believed it up until we got close to the reveal. So a theory seeming to be too silly and too simple to be true doesn't really discount it.

Didn't the Dabi Todoroki theory also start just because he was a guy with a fire quirk? Look where that went.

I mean, that and the fact that Dabi explicitly said his real identity was a secret he wasn't willing to share, which puts it out there immediately for fans that it's a secret worth knowing (compared to how nobody know who Mr. Compress was but it wasn't a subject of fan speculation because he never brought it up). Fire quirk + "Who I really am is important but I'm not going to tell you" = a fairly logical jump to Secret Todoroki.

The 2nd OfA wielders identity was also weirdly concealed though, so it kind of is a pretty similar set up. Hopefully debunked now though since Deku would recognise him otherwise. I'm not sure why Hori made it into a mystery tbh.

Ironically still holding out for that one. It's another case where Deku's dad is missing and unexplained and All for One's identity has been concealed so fans naturally make a connection. Though All for One being shown with baby toys in his lair and the 1st OfA wielder having the exact same eye color as Deku are fairly sus to be honest.

Plus minor details like them both being unable to tie a proper tie, sitting in similar poses, and if you take the anime to be canon, they have inverted color palettes.

And then you take in account that one of the OfA wielders was Shigaraki's ancestor...

My crackpot theory is that AFO isn’t Deku’s dad, but rather the progenitor of Deku’s father’s side of the family. It would be stupid, but it would fall in line with cribbing stuff from Star Wars :v:

What would the point of this be? I can imagine AFO dramatically revealing it only for Deku to go "...so?"
