#I've been thinking what hori might be planning for katsuki

[chocmuffinsscones]

I've been thinking. If Stars and Stripes and Melissa from the 1st movie became related in canon material (manga), then theory of Katsuki in 362 seeing AM vestige because of remnant ofa power (from 2nd movie) in him isn't that farfetched at all.

And Izuku being the only one who remembers fighting alongside Katsuki with them being op, and Katsuki accepting the ofa legacy there -- the significance of that knowledge alone with the context of Katsuki's sacrifice and his apology.

I don't know what to feel or think about this. Too many questions

Recently I've been rereading MHA and in chapter 254, Aizawa says :"being self sacrificial isn't the same as being suicidal . So many kids confuse the two so I give them what they want. A "Death" so to speak" . I think this is what Hori's doing with Bakugou. Giving him a death.

Like metaphorically or literally?

I don't really think that's what's happening here either way. Aizawa "gives a death" to his students who lose track of the difference between self-sacrifice and suicide. I don't think Katsuki was out here looking to be a martyr or throwing any Hail Mary shots, and Monoma's reaction to his "death" is the tell. Katsuki doesn't just go in without a plan, and all his actions should further his goal of a "perfect win." We saw all his muttering and scheming before he stood up. It's pretty clear something's going on we don't know about.

Best Jeanist should be in on knowing the Second's quirk and the ultimate plan to fight the villains, but we can't know for sure how much Aizawa knows based on the lead-up to this fight. All Might did say they were only planning to tell a select few everything, and Katsuki was implied to be one of the select few.

Plus, I would never believe this is a permanent death for a major character because of the way the story is treating it. You don't do deaths like this--with cliffhangers and uncertainty and minor character reactions. Deaths of major characters have to impact the audience, and they have to hit HARD. There has to be time spent lingering on the death and major character reactions. Look at how permanent character death scenes play out in other series like Fullmetal Alchemist or Final Fantasy. I think you'll notice this one...looks nothing like those.

It looks a lot more like character growth to me.

"(I just hope Hori realises he doesn’t have to throw away the old one, especially when he’s gone through so much trouble to show that people can change.)" YES THAT RIGHT THERE!!! and don't worry, a lot of people don't like the OFA/AFO plotline, but I've been really starting to question what it is now. Because everyone uses it to refer to the battle between good vs evil and I'm like? Okay, but what about the mechanics of the quirk, what about knowing more about the vestiges? (1/5)

The history between the two brothers, more worldbuilding on their era, the first ofa holders name? Am I just thinking wrong, does the fandom use that plotline only for Deku fighting Shigaraki and gaining more percentage? To me, OFA/AFO plotline also includes whatever schemes AFO is up to, everything surrounding him and his criminal empire, the doctor and his Nomu, the technology and quirk singularity, AFO thought it was a real problem because he had multiple quirks, and so does OFA? (2/5)

Is AFO technically a holder of the quirk since he held the stockpile quirk he gave to his brother. Did that stockpile quirk take something from his own power and pass it on too? I have questions on how the battles with the vestiges went down. You can't trust the guy? He's just sitting there in Tartarus, but plotting something. He's shown up in Shigaraki's dream, what's going on??? In Deku's too? (3/5)

And OFA! Katsuki was nice enough to tell us that it's like AFO's power, just how connected are these two quirks. Why did AFO want it, what does Ujiko mean when he says OFA didn't behave how AFO saw fit??? Now Endeavor the last guy anyone would want to know about OFA might be told about it, how would Shoto react if he found out. Aizawa? Some people think Endeavor's gonna take a bullet for Deku to protect OFA, after his 'secure a future for them' realization. (4/5)

What happens when people start noticing Deku has a lot of quirks that can't be passed off as his 'original.' What if he lands on the Commission's radar, for being like the Nomu or AFO. (If not him, then Eri.) If the dad for one theory is true then what. What happens when the quirk is complete, will it disappear will both OFA/AFO still be there by the end of the series? This plotline just seems to be going places. And All Might! If he dies will Deku meet him again within One for all? (5/5)

First off, I don’t mind people writing paragraphs in my ask box because they’re interesting! And you’ve brought up some good points!!

I guess the fact that people aren’t sure if AfO’s history is going to play a part in the AfO/OfA battle is an issue with the plotline itself.

I am curious about the legacy of AfO and the effect of his presence in society before the rise of All Might and what impact he had on the creation of the current era considering that All Might and the other users of OfA kept his presence a secret from everyone. (Which is a big issue in my opinion and I hope people do end up getting upset that such a major threat against the world was hidden from them for ‘their safety’.)

I think the fandom uses it to refer to the Deku vs Shigaraki fight because that’s all we’ve been seeing recently. The last time we’ve saw the vestiges was when Deku unlocked black whip right? And now we’ve only had snippets of OfA’s voice talking to Deku and maybe AfO talking to Shigaraki?

We barely know anything about AfO except his last name is Shigaraki, he’s a megalomaniac with a brother complex, his quirk is OP (and doesn’t make much sense but that’s an argument for another day), and for some reason he wanted a successor even before his fight with All Might left him injured. We don’t know why he does the things he does but I have a feeling we’re going to find out over the next couple of chapters (or at least get a glimpse into his plan) through the voice Shigaraki keeps hearing.

I’m curious about how linked AfO and OfA are too. Did AfO accidently transfer some of his own quirk’s power when he gave his brother the stockpiling quirk? Or was it even accidental? We just don’t know anything for sure (and maybe that’s the point)

I want the OfA reveal to happen soon personally because I think it’s very irresponsible of Deku and All Might to keep it hidden when all of the other heroes are already involved in the battle. Not only are there characters that could help Deku master his quirk (Mirio could teach him how to use the ‘weaker’ ones more effectively and Shouto could help him wield two different quirks at the same time for example), a lot of people have been injured or died over this secret and I think it’s time the truth came out. Especially if someone does end up losing their quirk to protect it.

(God if All Might does end up dying, Deku seeing him one last time with the vestiges would be heartbreaking T-T, imagine if it’s the last time he’s using the power too so it’s the only time he’ll be able to speak to his mentor and hero ever again)

Who knows what Horikoshi is planning in the end?

TECHNICALLY PART 6 IM SORRY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE ASK BOX LONG I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I WAS JUST RAMBLING YOU DON'T ACTUALLY NEED TO TRY AND RESPOND TO ANY OF IT. I'm just sling-shotting from one place to another, don't worry about it.

Trust me, I didn’t really mind as you can see ;)
