Es Tan Malditamente Cercano Al Canon, Pero A La Vez Está Tan Malditamente Lejos De El.

Tiene bastante sentido.

I kinda wanted to share a few thoughts on why I think All for One possibly was a university professor, mostly because it’s a seemgly small thing but I think it adds interesting layers to him and possibly give us an idea on how his rise to power might have been so… here we go ^^’

1- The place where his last battle with the 2nd OFA user took place

Now, this was the detail about him that first set off this whole speculation train of though: as it was pointed out by @nakamafor on twitter isn’t any random place but rather the University of Tokyo.

Despite most of it being destroyed we can still make out that the walls of the Takeda Auditorium behind them, and the buildings around are also set in the same layout as the University of Tokyo

(kinda like they also noticed that the place being bombed for having people who oppose AFO also seems to be a irl place)

Now it seems that a lot of detail was included to this brief panel, true, but is it enough to conclude that AFO has any connection to this place? Was it just a coincidence that the battle took place in here?

2- Sensei

One of the most defining things about AFO that we know of is that he plays a role of a mentor, an autority, a Teacher. This was ever since his introduction, before we even knew about his connection to the noumus or to One for All

.

Also it is not unsual for him to go on long spiels and infodumping, it’s the role he seems most confortable with

3 - Ujiko

Ujiko’s backstory and the key event that brought him and AFO together was the article he released about the Quirk Doomsday theory, where he was the one to first speculate about the possibility that, as quirk evolves, they could reach a sincularity where there would be no way for control them or wield them in any way

Notably amoung his circle of academics he was widely rejected and the theory was met with disdain with everyone other than AFO. This was Ujiko’s side but what about AFO?

If anything this fact seems to demonstrate that AFO is acquainted with academic circles, and he paid close attention to studies regarding quirks. So it wouldn’t be a surprise if he belonged to theses spaces as a member, possibly as a professor.

4 - Boku

Now, we know that throughout the manga AFO and Izuku share many similarities and have many parallels.

Most notable is their affinity with quirks and using them by creating a combination

One of those similarities is that they both, in the japanese version use “boku” to refer to themselves in the first person. Which mean that “my hero academia” could apply to both of them, this story could be the one of the rise of the OFA user or the story of the greatest viilain, All for one.

In a way, this specific parallel is a mean to tie the plot, both how things started and how they will end. In one academy, rose of the Greatest villain, from another academy (UA) the greatest Hero of All time will rise along the people he saved and inspired, in order to defeat this Villain.

I was doing some research on the attitude towards tattoos in Japan for ADKoT and I have expanded on a fic idea.

You remember my fic idea list for TWoT? Number 7 was: A modern AU where AFO has been secretly scaring off all of Yoichi's boyfriends. It's actually pretty easy as even without his quirk, he's still terrifying. Then one day, Yoichi brings a certain spiky-haired man home, and not only does he look like the rebel bad boy from every father's nightmare (very different from the previous nerdy cowards Yoichi's dated before), but none of his previous tricks can drive him off.

Well, the attitude towards tattoos in Japan is basically: "Hey, that guy has a tattoo" "He's in the Yakuza." This attitude is starting to change in the modern era, but these things take time.

Anyway, imagine if Second had tattoos and stuff, and AFO thinks he's in the yakuza and freaks out because he's actually the BOSS of a yakuza group and is worried Second will rat him out to his brother, who has no idea of about AFO's criminal business.

Second is not in the yakuza, he just got tattoos because A. He thought they looked cool and B. Third is a tattoo artist and he wanted to support his best friend's business. Really, he's just a rebel on a motorcycle with a heart of gold and secret soft side, which is why Yoichi fell in love with him.

But AFO doesn't know this. Cue shenanigans as he tries to prove that Second is in the yakuza without exposing himself as the boss of one.

Some Gine and others... Wanted to put a little more muscle on Gine :3 Happy Saiyan day btw!

Fotos y comentarios aquí y allá, no esperes demasiado, ah y me gustan las cachapas.

Yo soy Shoto en la vida.

I absolutely adored the charisma stockpile hc au~!

so au of that au where the platonic yandere part of the charisma quirk Izuku got works on all the vestiges for the 5 headcanons au~!

Bonus points for DFO cuz the previous one wasn't dfo

We're revisiting an early one for last!

The vestiges never expected to be affected by the charisma stockpile, but by the time it reached Izuku, it was so strong it could work on even past holders. They do not realize it at first. They just know this adorable boy is too perfect and precious to fight. Therefore they must do it for him.

The vestiges start possessing Izuku's body and destroying all his enemies. They also look after Izuku by making him meals and bringing him presents.

Izuku is a fanboy over the new vigilantes operating in the area and trying to track them down.

Shouto has a conspiracy theory that the new group of vigilantes are all the same person because they never appear at the same time and they're all short. They keep using different quirks, but what if they are connected to the mysterious quirk-stealing head of the underworld? Could the new vigilante even be All for One? But why is he destroying Izuku's enemies? What if All for One is Izuku's father? (Shouto has reached the correct conclusion by the wrong route.)

Yoichi gets stuffed in the vault by the other vestiges for trying to claim that he has the most rights to Izuku as his uncle.

The platonic yandere power has no effect on All for One because he was already at maximum levels of yandere. He's annoyed at all these fakes hanging around his son when they don't even have real feelings, just quirk-induced ones.

The vestiges team up with All for One to annihilate Muscular after he tries to kill Izuku.
