Even Google and Wiki-Fandom agrees with us 👀😂

Yappi. And here I am. And it's DFO again.)

[ms-dead-inside]

WHY IZUKU BEING BORN QUIRKLESS IS A POINT FOR DAD FOR ONE:

Now, I'm not saying that I'm a die-hard DFO believer. I think that the theory is fun, and as a joke, I told my friend that if Izuku's father wasn't introduced by the end of the manga then DFO was officially canon by process of elimination. I'm just here to give my opinion about one of the main points people claim disproves DFO: Izuku being born quirkless. I would argue that Izuku being born quirkless, rather than having his quirk stolen as an infant, gives more credibility to the DFO theory.

For starters, when Izuku is told he in the first episode by the doctor (who is obviously AFO's doctor) that he's quirkless and is shown the x-ray of his foot, the doctor says a line (and I'm paraphrasing here) about how "it was virtually unheard of for a child born from two fourth-generation quirk users to be quirkless." The doctor could potentially be lying, but that is very unlikely. Even if he's evil, there's no reason for him to lie in that scenario: Quirks have been around for over a century by then, and lying about something that could be so easily disproven would be moronic.

So, with the belief that he was telling the truth, then it gives more insight into how quirks work. Quirks, in some way, shape, or form, are genetic. It's why quirk marriages were a thing. It's why Katsuki was the unbelievably lucky mix of both his parents' quirks, allowing him to make explosions. It's why Tsuyu's whole family looks froglike. Quirks aren't magically bestowed upon people like Celestia with visions: it's passed down genetically. Quirks are formed from a genetic mutation. This means that based on what the doctor said, quirks are a dominant allele.

To give a basic recap in biology: each gene has two alleles, one from each parent. Genes are what give you your appearance and more: whether your eyes are blue or brown. If you'll be blonde, brunette, or end up as a redhead. If you are more susceptible to different health problems like stroke or Alzheimer's. Alleles, on the other hand, can be either "dominant" or "recessive." "Dominant" alleles need only one parent to transfer it to the child for the trait to show up. "Recessive" alleles, on the other hand, require the allele from both parents to show up in the child. For example, curly hair is dominant over straight hair. If you use 'A' to describe the allele for curly hair and 'a' to describe the allele for straight hair, then it could be looked at as this:

AA= curly hair

Aa= curly hair (dominant allele present)

aa= straight hair (both recessive alleles present)

This means that quirks show up when through a dominant allele. The mention of "fourth-generation quirk users" implies that two quirked parents can give birth to a quirkless individual. That wouldn't be possible if quirks were a recessive allele. Therefore, if both of Izuku's parents were fourth-generation, then it is technically possible for Izuku's ancestors to have passed on the recessive quirklessness through the generations. And Izuku just happened to be the unlucky son of a gun who lost the genetic lottery.

But do you know what this means? It means that it doesn't disprove DFO in the slightest. In fact, having a parent who is a first-generation quirk user adds to the credibility. Canon shows that AFO was the first person who had a quirk. While Izuku is still unlucky on his mother's side of the genetic lottery, having a dad who automatically has a recessive allele makes his quirklessness much more likely.

In conclusion: Izuku being born quirkless just adds to the Dad for one theory. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Hori is just messing with us at this point

Here is something someone pointed out to me on the AFO discord. I don't know Japanese, so take things with a grain of salt to not spread misinformation! But. . . Koga - the construction company that AFO had/worked at.

How it's written in the Japanese version: 甲 - armour/first class 賀 - celebration.

Okay, nothing specific.

BUT... What other way can Koga be spelled as? 久我

AND GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS!

久- Hisashi 我 - I/myself (I am Hisashi) … Yea

dfo theory is so funny to me especially when it’s combined with InkoMight au cuz just imagine inko having dated only two men in her life and it’s the world’s greatest hero and the world’s most powerful villain

mitsuki: Why did it take you so long to find a new man?

inko: I have sort of high standards.

mitsuki: Oh? How high?

inko: Well, you see…

[zestirial]

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HORIKOSHI KOHEI!!!! 😭

YOU'LL MAKE TENKO TRUST IZUKU MORE AND MORE!!!

AND THEN WHAT???

MAKE HIM TOTALLY DOUBT HIMSELF BECAUSE HE'S THE SON OF ALL FOR ONE

AND TENKO WILL THINK THAT IZUKU WILL TRY TO MANUPULATE HIM AS AFO WOULD HAVE DONE 😭 AND THAT WILL BREAK HIS TRUST...(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)

[ma-du]

@gentrychild Oh God Inko.... *Wheeze in Asthmatic*

[huiiiooo]

I think Izuku was originally a Vessel alternative for All for one, All for one did not have Tenko as the only candidate, he experimented and considered other options like Dabi and Number 6, I believe Izuku was a test, if Someone genetically related could be a vessel, and also curiosity of what the result would be of Mixing All for one with a fourth generation Quirk, just like he did with Shigaraki and Number 6 he possibly moved the pieces in an attempt to turn Izuku into what he wanted

All for one, just as he did with Number 6 and Shigaraki, encouraged heroic desires in Izuku, to later turn this into hatred and resentment, All for one, to avoid attracting attention, blocked Izuku's Quirk, making Izuku appear to be Quirkless, similar to what he did with Tenko, the difference is that he didn't remove the Factor here

All for one knew that Izuku would be bullied for being Quirkless, and hoped that crushing his dreams would turn into hatred and resentment towards hero society, just knowing the injustice and cruelty of the world, generating the hatred that All for one needed, I don't think Allfor ordered Lil Tsubasa to be killed because he was bullying Izuku, but rather because he went too far and almost killed Izuku by throwing him from a great height.

However, Izuku held no grudge or hatred towards the people he was supposed to hate, for obvious reasons this made him less qualified to be a vessel than Shigaraki

All for one probably abandoned his project with Izuku for good after All Might left him disfigured, not having shown himself suitable as a vessel, is perhaps the reason why All for one calls Izuku Worthless, if he fails to prove himself worthy of his vessel for All for one he is also not worthy of the One for All which is why he considered it a mistake on the part of the predecessors to entrust the OFA to him

As the Danger Sensor never activated with All for One, it is possible that he has a certain consideration towards Izuku, but he certainly wouldn't admit it.

dfo haters who say the theory doesn't make sense are so funny to me cause like- you're telling me that dabi being toya todoroki, tomura being nana shimura's grandson, kurogiri being aizawa's dead best friend from high school, izuku being able to withstand 7 super enhanced quirks without becoming brain dead like a nomu, afo meticulously planning out how he was going to take in and groom tomura into being his successor, afo involving himself with the aoyamas and so on and so forth makes complete sense but the thought that afo could be related to izuku even with all the evidence spread throughout the entire series makes non? :/ even though it would literally FIX some of the plot holes in the series?

I'm not even crazy about this theory or care too much if it ends up not being confirmed but at this point I think it would make more sense if it ended up being the case since it seems like every major character in the series has some deep compelling meaning to the plot and izuku being only some random quirkless kid (who happened to be diagnosed by afo's right hand man) that just so happened to be noticed by all might and offered ofa just doesn't cut it anymore with everything going on. I could go on about how this really isn't as far fetched as everyone thinks or how it could benefit the story but idrc enough to do that rn

They are so similar

[vam1mav]

|| Damn. ||

I'm DYING to know that

[absorbedpoem74]

Afo CANONICALLY has white eyes.

Well, that explains this.

I don’t know if the anime made a mistake and gave him red eyes instead of white or it was intentional and the afo clone theory stands. Either way it doesn’t effect the dfo theory, it actually makes it more possible! If this afo is not the afo we saw previously then it’s most likely Hisashi.

[kickbutts-singsongs]

This is kind of a crack thought, but I’d love it if Horikoshi made DFO canon

but in the most anticlimactic way possible.

Like, we don’t see it during Bakugou’s fight, we don’t see it during Midoriya’s fight (and Shigaraki’s memories), but instead it’s after everything is over.

Everybody’s healing and getting better, and then Izuku and Katsuki, bored out of their minds, just decide to watch the footage of all the fights.

Squished together on a hospital bed, they’re watching Bakugou’s footage first (cuz Kacchan sugoi) and then Izuku’s like “hmmm hold on why does AFO look familiar?”

and then when they’re done, they watch All Might’s footage and Izuku’s eyes bug out of his head and goes “HOLY SHIT WAIT THATS MY DAD”

And then Katsuki just goes “huh. no wonder the fucker wasn’t around.”

and they just. move on.

DFO strikes again ! Almost everybody in DFO fandom, might have heard about the weird coincidence where AFO's prison number 1541 spells Hisashi. Well, folks, we found Hisashi again! And this time it is in Izuku's Birthday. 15th of July. July =7 1 = ichi (kanji 一 ) 5= go/sa (nanori reading) (kanji 五) month 7 = nana, shichi (kanji 七)

ichi (一) can also be read as hi (五) can be sa, we already know. nana, shichi (七) also have a reading shi (N.B. the reading shi is not used as it is homophone to shi (death) in japanese. They consider it unlucky.) 15th of July implies hi-sa-shi. It's so mysterious, that we find the man's name in so many ways but the man himself doesn't show up. (or does he? 👀)
