#afo and kotaro

This week on BNHA, 'Dad For One' came true....just not the one you were expecting

[dozhdevik]

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.

[greenhappyseed]

AFO tried to steal OFA from Banjo and then from En. Both times he couldn’t do it. MHA 419 confirms AFO realized after En that he needed an “iron will” or an emotion stronger than he was capable of in order to steal OFA. That means AFO was looking for someone to groom THE WHOLE TIME Nana held OFA. So did AFO discover she had a son and then target only her husband to pick him off before separating her and Kotaro??? Did she fight AFO thinking she might be able to stop him, when he already had young Kotaro in his clutches?? Oh my god, is that why AFO thanked her for the “wonderful comedy” — Nana thought she was “leaving the rest” to Toshinori but in reality AFO already had a plan to get OFA by “breeding” a successor from Nana’s own son?!?!?!?

[villainsandvictimsalliance]

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.

Toxic old man yaoi /hj

From the latest chapter of my Tomura reincarnation fic A Life Worth Living

[delawaredetroit]

And this isn't a suspicious chapter to put Inko's character page on at all obviously...the exact chapter that shows the end of the All Might and All for One's battle in Kamino. And Inko is the only character besides Kotaro with her family member(s) listed as her favorite thing. Completely normal, nothing to see here.

Look, the least suspicious reason for this placement is that Inko has one of her biggest character moments in the upcoming home visit chapter. And the similar favorite things between Kotaro and Inko could indicate a parallel in their roles of being "normal people" who are close relatives of One for All users. (Because All Might had no family by the time he received One for All and Shigaraki never knew Nana, Kotaro and Inko are the only characters that can fulfill this role).

But if dad for one turns out to be true, the placement of this character page becomes hilarious. Chapter 94: All for One being transported across the sea onto an island and being wheeled into the highest security prison in the country. The ending: Poor Inko has had to raise Izuku all alone because her husband is over the sea. She feels so guilty. I feel bad for her when I draw her.

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

[super-paper]

afotaro is the elephant's foot of toxic old man yaoi but that's not gonna stop me from memeing on it, y'know, as a coping mechanism.

[josephsaturn]

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

[sammy-the-dead-dumpster]

Tenko finding out about AFO seducing his dad:

[dozhdevik]

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.

MHA 418 leak reactions

Izuku blips over middle school and becomes a child in Tomura’s mind scape as Tenko decays Mon.

Baby Izuku holds baby Tenko’s hands in order to stop him from decaying Hana. Izuku starts decaying (!!!) but tells himself this is an imaginary place??? Dude, 2 chapters ago you were saying that you COULD get hurt in this mind scape. Which one is it?!?!??! WHICH ONE IS IT IZUKU?!?!!?!

Tenko cries and says no, he WANTS to destroy his house and family, because if he doesn’t want to destroy, then why was he born bad? (Ugh, poor kiddo!)

Tenko tells Izuku to go away, and it’s still not clear if it’s out of self-hatred or to keep Izuku safe. I lost count of how many times this happened in the last 3 chapters….

But Izuku says no. AGAIN. And finally, Izuku says something honest about why he wants to be a hero and save Tenko: Izuku feels relief when he holds the hand of someone who is hurting.

And with that, Izuku tells Tenko, “I am here.” Brilliant.

We see Tenko smile as he’s on a playground with his friends, and Tomo-chan tells him that he can play as All Might. Join the club, Tenko!!!!

Oh but of course it’s not that easy. If Izuku finally says why HE wants to be a hero, then it’s Tenko’s turn to explain why he has to be a villain: Because he hates and destroys things, and even if he didn’t, there are others who need him and look to him to destroy.

Back in the “real world,” there are some citizens cheering for Shigaraki. They’re sad (??) when the finger armor begins to disappear when ….

AFO’s MEMORIES APPEAR!!!! OH LAWD HE COMIN!!!!!

KOTARO WAS DRINKING WINE AND TALKING ABOUT TENKO’s QUIRK WITH MYSTERY HAT MAN???

Okay the chapter ends with vestige AFO returning (and maybe able to control Tomura again?) BUT it sounds like Kotaro bought his son a quirk from AFO? Or was Kotaro himself somehow taken under AFO’s wing after Nana gave him up for adoption??? Like they know each other and have dinner together????

You guys, this is so much worse than just “oh AFO gave Tenko decay……” Well done Horikoshi for one more good twist.

yall. the cheese.

the fucking cheese.

Random Tomura Wips I found

[pocketramblr]

"man couldn't even pull off actually getting kotaro pregnant" You don't know that. We never saw Nao pregnant with tenko.

Maybe you don't know that, but I do

[siflshonen]

Tenkos name wow guess what looks like the meaning of his name came true!

The first one was funny. The rest of you I hope do know enough about this series to believe that Tenko Shimura is eventually gonna come back and finally shuck the name that dirty old, old, ancient, old, pruney evil man thrust upon him for good.
