#Kotaro Shimura

[grannymight]

Just saw Mha 418 spoilers and uhm….

[glyury]

What I like about Horikoshi is that he makes plot twists that seem obvious, but then he turns them on their head.

Remember the theory about Dabi, everyone knew he was Touya, but no one knew what kind of problems he really had with his father. While everyone thought that he was forcing Touya to train like Shoto, in reality it turned out that Endeavor, on the contrary, forbade it, and Touya did not listen to him.

Horikoshi is doing it again now. Everyone knew that AFO was responsible for Tenko's Decay and that he was keeping an eye on the Shimura family, but no one assumed that he was a close friend of this family.

AFO pretended to work for a construction company and then befriended Kotaro to keep an eye on how Kotaro's children were doing.

It's a shame that the flashback with Kotaro ends so abruptly, because I think we would have found out that it was either the AFO who offered to give Tenko a quirk (or pretended to know someone who could do it), or Kotaro himself who asked him about it.

[itsnothingofinterest]

Holy hell, even Tomochan & Mikkun? AFO was puppeteering even them?!?

God this really is the worst version of the reveal we could've gotten. Not only did AFO give Tenko Decay (from fucking Overhaul?!?), not only was he involved with his dad and possibly even the construction of his house, but he even manipulated his social life. I was half joking when I said AFO could've implanted the desire to be a hero in Tenko, but now...

I remember a lot of discussion that tended to split Tomura into the good stuff that comes from Tenko & the bad stuff that constitutes his motivations as a villain; the latter being considered fake, originating from AFO, and should be discarded as a method of resolving the final conflict with the villains. I hated the idea when it was just that but...the idea of all of Tomura being fake may just be worse. Hell, he might've actually been more of a real and independent person of his own as Tomura of the League/PLF then he ever was as Tenko Shimura. ...Huh.

I think most of us can expect Tomura will come back from his disintegration, but...goodness this is a lot to come back from. I honestly wonder what he'll be like on the other side of it.

My predictions for chapter 419

[marunalu]

So, it seems its confirmed that the translations were right.

Afo indeed owns a construction company (its not clear if he really OWNS it, but lets be real here, he would never work under someone else. He will always be his own and only boss). So that really means that outside of his villain business afo had a normal job and a civil life. A job that could easily explain why as a father he has to work "overseas" to use as an alibi for a certain green haired family.

He was also clearly trying to get kotaro be examined by garaki when he refers to "a great doctor". Seems like kotaro barely managed not to end up as a nomou.

Как же я умилялась, когда увидела в истории Томуры его совместную фотографию с семьёй, где они все одеты в кимоно😭💖

Уже давно хотела нарисовать эту картинку, но руки всё никак не доходили... Но вот этот день настал! Теперь мы все можем насладиться этой милотой😤✨

Hola

On Thursday the high school gave me and my classmates a notebook, and I've been using it to draw and make little notes

I've seen several people complain that chapter 419 doesn't make sense. One of the main arguments is the fact that All for One persuaded Kotaro to have a second child, instead of just using Hana. AFO himself said that Hana was simply too old to be part of his plans, which many found strange. However, perhaps the whole point is that by the time AFO began to closely monitor the Shimura family, Hana had already developed a quirk, so AFO could no longer make it appear that Kotaro's daughter was born quirkless.

[itsnothingofinterest]

Fuck anyone else up that this:

Was ultimately Tomura's last moment of life in the physical world?

Because yeah, after this it's all mental world stuff, AFO taking over his body thanks Deku, and then more mental world stuff. So this is Tomura's last living act...begging for his life.

You know; I remember when 416 & 417 came out I called bullshit on people saying this panel meant some kind of parallel between Tomura and his dad, him becoming the thing he hates or whatever. But it turns out there was one parallel between these scenes; they both depict men begging not to be killed by a powerful little kid with no idea what they're doing besides that they want to kill the man in front of them, and then they do.

Nana and Inko are really very similar

Man, can’t believe that AFO being Kotaro Shimura’s sugar daddy is canon, huh

Tenko finding out about AFO seducing his dad:

I'm glad Nao never knew the truth about what AFO did to Tenko, because she'd have blamed herself for allowing that man into their lives.

But I wish Kotaro knew. I wish Kotaro realized what he had done, who did that to him, why his mother gave everything to defeat that man and even then she couldn't. Kotaro should have known and be horrified of how he sold his younger son to the devil.
