The “All for One is Izuku’s father” theory is both interesting and hilarious because any time I think about it, I just imagine Toshinori finding out and having a “I love this child with every fiber of my being and he has my complete trust but how the fuck did I manage to choose the one (1) child of my arch-nemesis as a successor” moment.
There’s also this
All for One: That’s my son
Toshinori, who has been Izuku’s father figure for years by now: I’ve already won this game and I didn’t even know I was playing
All for One holding newborn Izuku while forgetting to turn off his quirk stealing bullshit: Ah…I’ll fix that later
Narrator’s voice: And then he never did
Aizawa, realizing he’s become attached to the students of 1A: fuck. shit. goddamnit. this wasn’t supposed to happen, I’m not ready to be a dad. How do you even take care of 20 kids?
All Might, already making a college fund for each one and reading a book labeled ‘parenting for dummies’: idk I just give motivational speeches once in a while. Its mostly bullshit but it seems to work out fine.
i’ve always thought of how
midoriya
/all might & shinsou/aizawa mirrors the other ever since shinsou was introduced???
shinsou and midoriya ’s fight at the sports festival was putting together two people who were told all their life that being a hero was not a feasible option for them on the same platform. shinsou, with his overpowering quirk, and midoriya with his then-self destructive quirk, were by no means an equal match up, but it served to show how despite having a strong & useful quirk, shinsou was not getting closer to his dream.
in midoriya’s case, he was a quirkless boy who’s always striving to do his best to be a hero, but with everyone around him either discouraging him entirely (asking him to work in law enforcement) or making fun of him. midoriya, at the point of introduction, was a boy with no real hope being given hope by his hero. all might recognizes that midoriya has the potential to be a great hero and that
midoriya
has the willpower to achieve it, quirkless or not, and then proceeds to aid him in his journey.
the same happens in shinsou’s case, but in a sense it’s more tragic.
while everyone told
midoriya
that he could be a police officer or someone who could help the heroes, shinsou’s quirk was always laughed off as a “villain’s quirk”. shinsou tries his best to enter the hero department and the sports festival is a huge example of that. aizawa recognises his potential the same way all might did for midoriya, and proceeds to help him out (aizawa mentoring shinsou during the forest training camp arc by giving him a training regimen and everything.)
this chapter made me happy because shinsou is finally getting the chance he deserves and i’m very happy for my purple haired son.
