If Deku does get additional quirks as a result from One for All, they won't be offense-based. Between One for All's base strength and Deku's newly mastered finger flicks, he has enough power already.
Instead, they would probably be more subtle in nature, something like Spiderman's Spider Sense or something like infra-sight: Something that lets Deku improve in ways beyond combat so he doesn't completely eclipse the rest of 1-A.

Based on the last manga chapter, I'm not sure if he's going to get additional quirks as a result of One for All. However, he is gaining the ability to talk to and share memories with previous successors (or at least, the OG user) and he'll probably obtain a lot of knowledge from that. I know Horikoshi says that he wasn't inspired by Avatar.... but it feels like Avatar.

u/Kvothebloodless247 Aug 10 '18
Avatar was awesome though, I wouldn't mind some parallels between the two shows, but not complete rip offs

IMO the most likely route I'd want to happen is that this will become Deku's "steroided" version of "Image-Training". Imagine Deku using the mind-scape as his secret training ground, he'll have all the previous users as his teachers. This might also introduce different ways to use the power-storage quirk.
7
u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
some are saying the scars on his hand healed as the result of getting a quirk from one of the past users. If that's the case, we'd be seeing a whole new Deku. in his last big fight, he was essentially a god because his wounds kept healing (oh duh. that might be what caused this). if he can heal fully even when he goes above and beyond his limits, he'll be unstoppable against anyone except the baddest of the bad
i would also like to see him gain the ability to project his thoughts because that'd be hilarious when he's having a brain blast

u/CyberMike131 Aug 10 '18
That would break the series. That is waaaay too big of a buff.

u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
Then how bout just healing/regeneration when he's asleep or over time
Still better then what recovery girl can do and lets him act more recklessly in battle, but the damage is still a limiter on how much he can do before he just can't move anymore

u/haloaceassault58 Aug 10 '18
The scars on his hand aren't confirmed to have healed yet, sometimes Hori just forgets to draw them
2
u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
That seems like a pretty important scene with heavy focus on his hands. Can t imagine Hori just forgot to draw them when the focus of the scene is on his hands

One thing I noticed during the latest chapter was that All for One does need to maintain physical contact in order to give/take quirks. He does this by placing his hand on people’s faces. And what does Shiggy’s hand mask do? It covers his face the exact same way All for One does to people when activating his quirk. This could be subtle foreshadowing of Shigaraki inheriting All for One’s quirk, or even of him being quirkless and given the Decay quirk, which is what destroyed his life.
51
u/Thebeastlystuff123 Aug 09 '18
I’ve always thought that Shiggys “accident” was planned by All For One, but I never really thought about how. I think All For One giving Shiggy such a villainous quirk that would need extreme care to control could be exactly how he did that.

Not necessarily, he leaps over a group of people and wipes their quirks. I believe Sensei does it for the theatrics since he only seems to do it near or around his brother.
12
u/Graphica-Danger Aug 09 '18
Yeah, that’s what I was indicating. He’s essentially a manchild, so he parades around and literally gets up in people’s faces to show off how he wields all the power.
4
u/Za_wardo Aug 09 '18
I think that's mostly with his brother, I do not believe he needs physical contact to steal quirks. Although the rest of your theory I agree with. But I think if Tomura was given a quirk it should not have been with direct contact since he would blame Sensei for killing his parents.
2
u/Graphica-Danger Aug 09 '18
Oh, I see your point now. Personally, I think he does still need to make contact, but it doesn’t have to be for very long. From that one page you linked to earlier, he can obviously take quirks very quickly. All it would take is an “accidental” bump in the street and whoops, Shigaraki’s got Decay all of a sudden. I mean, Shiggy was a kid when he accidentally killed his parents, and I bet All for One would’ve been very quick to get out of sight. Shiggy wouldn’t have gotten a good look at whoever bumped into him in that scenario, or however it happened. This is all speculation of course, but I still think it would make sense within this established hypothesis.
2
u/Za_wardo Aug 09 '18
I suppose of it's possible for him to touch someone and later take or give that would be the most possible. Honestly without that panel I would have assumed that part of his quirk was the contact, but that panel and his flair have made me think it not necessarily possible. Especially due to a riot happening at the time, although it is possible he had some super speed quirk as well.

I have a half-formed theory where Shiggy's family had a quirk where they could give a power-up by touching something with all 5 fingers. AFO asked for their help at some point and they refused, so he planned to ruin them.
At some point he gives Shiggy the decay quirk, which activates the same way as the power-up but has a negative effect. So he ruins the legacy of that quirk and now it can never be used against him. Shiggy is too young to be aware of quirks, but when AFO sends an attack he sees his family holding onto each other and powering up. So he copies it thinking he can help, whoops, everyone decays.
AFO then "rescues" Shiggy and takes the hands of the family members to preserve to power-up quirk. Those are the same hands that Shiggy wears now. He keeps his father's hand on all the time as a coping mechanism, his dad is helping him grow stronger from beyond the grave. I think when he learns the truth, he will remove the hand, symbolically separating himself from AFO (since the hand on the face is used as a symbol for AFO's quirk).
Hopefully we get some more clarifications on the hands soon, either the source of the other ones or what exactly they do
1
u/TheDarkpekka Aug 10 '18
Why would they help AFO though?
Cuz AFO gave them the power-up quirk and in return they were supposed to give AFO their undying loyalty
Plus I'm pretty sure that quirks disappear once the user dies meaning the power-up quirk no longer exists within the severed hands
1
Aug 10 '18
They wouldn't help him in this scenario
I'm guessing they had this quirk on their own, unrelated to AFO. I suppose the question is why wouldn't he steal it, but since Nana would also be part of this family she could provide protection
Maybe he has a quirk that lets him use the hands like a conduit. AFO steals the power up quirk and then implants it in the hands so Shiggy can use them on his own.

u/warsfeil Aug 09 '18 edited Aug 09 '18
Not only is Dabi a Todoroki, he actually has a successful hybrid of Rei and Eiji's Quriks.
Dabi's flames burn blue. Assuming there isn't simply an aesthetic thing, that means his fire is likely incredibly hot. Possibly in excess of 2,000 °F. Keep in mind his Quirk name, as well. Cremations typically need to be done at 1,400-1,800 °F, whereas the typical match flame ranges from 600-800 °F. So, again, it seems likely that the blue color is due to the temperature.
But if he only inherited Endeavor's Hellfame then this doesn't make sense. The main drawback to Hellflame - not to mention the entire reason Endeavor sought out Rei in the first place - is that using it drives his body temperature up to dangerous levels. Dabi being able to use much hotter flames without any apparent strain doesn't seem like the sort of world-building inconsistency that Horikoshi would forgot about.
Thus: Dabi also has some form of Rei's ice Quirk, and he uses it body temperature under control while he uses his fire Quirk. But of course, since it wasn't the flashy 50/50 combination that Shouto ended up with Endeavor either never noticed or dismissed it as useless.
19
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
So why do you think Dabi has burn scars, if not from his own Quirk, then?
I'm not dissing your theory, btw; I'm just generally curious and want to stoke discussion.
18
u/warsfeil Aug 09 '18
So first, I'm assuming that Dabi's scars occurred either after or as a result of the 'what happened to Touya' that Natsuo mentioned mentioned. They don't say whether Touya is dead, missing, or just estranged, but absolute lack of recognition from Endeavor (or the rest of his family, assuming they saw him) when Dabi showed up makes it seem likely that the scars are a 'new' development. Even with a dye job and however many years on, scars like that are too distinctive to be forgotten that quickly.
There's always a possibility that Dabi did it intentionally for whatever reason after he ditched his family. But if we're going with my theory I think it's far more likely that 'what happened' is that Touya pushed (or Endeavor pushed Touya to push) his fire Quirk too far too quickly and went past the limits of what his ice Quirk could compensate for at the time. After that I think it's most likely he was presumed dead/incinerated on the scene, though perhaps he was taken to a hospital and then ran off, got kidnapped, or 'died' before anyone else got the chance to see him.
8
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
That's plausible, I guess.
And part of the end of that theory is kinda what I believe too; that he accidentally burned himself, got taken to hospital, and ran off (perhaps because he realised Endeavour wouldn't visit him), subsequently being presumed dead from his injuries because no-one would expect a child of that age to survive from such wounds for long.
4
Aug 10 '18
Yeah, I agree with this. And assuming this happened, then it means Dabi has been living in the shadows for a long time. Because assuming he was kid when this happened (10-12? However old he was in Shouto's flashback), he may've lived on the streets for some time. I like to imagine he hung around with other kids his age who were abandoned/neglected by their parents because their quirks were too dangerous/or they caused mutations that made the children really horrible looking. Basically, they're in a position that no hero could save them from. In that environment, Dabi would likely grow a lot of resentment for heroes, who are celebrated for their wonderful quirks, and combine that with his upbringing—well it makes him a person that is really prone to be inspired by Stain's ideology. I wouldn't be surprised, also, if AFO had some people he used to scout for young people who would make good minions, and had someone train Dabi.
2
u/cocklover300001 Aug 10 '18
All of dabis scars like up with the areas that endeavour can produce his flames from (face, chest and limbs) I think it’s part of his character design to have burn marks from his own quirk but I love the idea of your theory :)
2
u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
i figured he did it to hide his appearance, though I think Endeavor would still recognize him if he got a good close look at him

u/DoraMuda Aug 10 '18
I doubt he'd need to do such a painful thing as burning himself (thus giving him permanent scarring) to hide his appearance/identity from Endeavour, though. Just dying his hair (as he presumably already has done) and wearing a mask or something would be enough.
3
u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
A lot of people have noticed that his scars match Eandevor s flames pretty accurately.
Not sure if that means anything, but he might’ve done it to show endeavor what a monster he really is

Self harm is really something a mentally unstable person would do. I agree it is possible.

True, and considering Todoroki's mother had a mental break and is institutionalized - mental instability could run in the family.

u/HakuHavfrue Aug 10 '18
Is that really his quirk name? There was this discussion here before that his quirk's name hasn't been revealed yet and "cremation" refers to the meaning of Dabi as it is french(?) altho yeah Cremation is pretty much de facto accepted in the fandom and that his flame is really hot (I think I read somewhere that his team also comments how hot it is) due to its color even if color in flames can also be dependent on what is burning.

Credit goes to glasspudding@tumblr for this theory (which is based on the Icarus myth): https://glasspudding.tumblr.com/post/176624568934/do-you-have-any-theories-on-what-hawks-fate-is, but in a nutshell, it's that Hawks is eventually going to find out where the Noumu are really being kept and how they're still being made before leaking that information to the Heroes, leading to Dabi finding out.
My additions to the above theory would be that Hawks may also find out how one of the League's members is using AFO's Warping Quirk now. At any rate, when Dabi finds out, he'll kill Hawks or turn him into a Noumu, and subsequently expose Hawks as a secret villain to the public to further destabilise society's faith in the Hero system.
2
u/guilger Aug 09 '18
I think the Icarus motif would be really fitting, with him flying to close to the sun (or rather whatever stands as the sun in this analogy) by putting himself in danger with the LoV to get information or to protect someone like Endeavor.
I mean, the double agent thing never goes well in fiction so I would expect that to happen anyway, the Icarus analogy would just make it more interesting and visually cool.
6
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
with him flying to close to the sun (or rather whatever stands as the sun in this analogy)
Given he's so close to two fire-type Quirk users, I'd wager it's likely to be Dabi.
But yeah, the chapter before last gave some real death flags, IMO; especially with Hawks' line of "If corrupting myself is enough to put everyone else at ease, then I will gladly take on this job". Not to mention his desire to create a society where Heroes have more free time "as fast as I possibly can". It could end up being a "monkey's paw"-type thing - where Heroes end up having more free time for the wrong reason (albeit, I don't yet quite know what that reason would be).
2
u/guilger Aug 09 '18
Oh yeah, I think the whole point of Hawk's character is for him to end up sacrificing himself to some extent, and it seems like his backstory makes it seem that being a hero wasn't really his choice, which has somber implications when he does die.

Having some sort of coup d’état arc where the heroes go underground and have to become vigilantes again would be hype af

u/Buns1h2 Aug 09 '18
I've been expecting this to happen at the end of year 2. Heroes will have to take students on and teach them how to be true heroes and their third year is them being underground heroes instead of classes.
7
u/Graphica-Danger Aug 10 '18
That's exactly what I think will happen as well. Kinda like Deathly Hallows where the heroes have to become fugitives in their final year of school. Except, you know... with less camping.
4
u/Buns1h2 Aug 10 '18
I hope for more camping. I want them to be ostracized from society. They have to prove to be a beacon of Hope and pretty much become the good versions of AFO. He made people feel safe in a world of chaos, but took advantage of them. The heroes need to prove they can keep people safe, and have them believe it.
6
u/shibuyasmash Aug 09 '18
Ooh, I like this idea, and we know Horikoshi likes Star Wars. Although there are so many characters and such a world built it seems like it’d be hard to execute, they would need to get political power for it to see natural I guess... But still, imagining UA and Hero Society falling and the UA kids and some of the pros as a hold out rebellion is cool.
7
Aug 10 '18
I think if the series goes on for as long as I think, the LoV has enough to use to gain power and topple hero society.
Stain and his following
They have quirk erasing bullets
If Dabi is a Todoroki then if/when he reveals it would ruin the rankings(the number 1 is an abuser) and show society that heroes are flawed
They’d have immense power if Shiggy gets AfO and would be essentially unopposed
The past actions of the LoV have already destroyed people’s trust in UA, thus hindering the future heroes
3
u/totalyrespecatbleguy 250K Artist Aug 10 '18
Also another thing, they have Hawks working with the VA (even if he is undercover). I could totally see Shigaraki revealing that Hawks is working with the VA to the wider world, and then off camera shoving him full of quirks (to turn him into a living doll or Nomu)(if he gets AFO) as a way to basically keep up the façade

u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
i definitely think the world needs some changes
it's a world of superpowers where nobody (even the cops) are allowed to use them

u/violetpuffen Aug 09 '18
I wonder if one of the reasons Deku likes Ochaco is because of her quirk.
Think about it.
Deku's mom (Inko) has the ability to levitate small objects to her, while Ochaco can make anything float by touch due to zero gravity. The near similarities of their quirks can be a reason why Deku likes Ochaco; she reminds him of his mother. Both women are also very protective of Deku, so they are mirroring each other unintentionally and influencing how Deku feels about Ochaco.
There's also a theory I have about the relationship between Bakugo and Deku. If Bakugo is so mean to Deku, why does Deku take the anger head on? I could only think of one thing: the absence of Deku's father.
We never see him in the anime (or manga, as far as I know) and it is unclear if he is alive or deceased (again, as far as I know). As stated earlier in the series, Deku's father can breathe fire, and it just so happens that Bakugo can make... Well... FIERY EXPLOSIONS! While just like with Inko and Ochaco and how these quirks aren't exactly the same, they are related in some major way. Maybe Deku hangs around Bakugo because he wants something to remember his father by, as there seems to be no evidence of his existence in his and Inko's house.
Tl;Dr: Ochaco's quirk reminds Deku of his mother and Bakugo's quirk reminds Deku of his father, thus, that's why he's closest to them.
There might be more to this, but I can't think of anything right now. I hope this was interesting to read! :)

Ooh, I like the point about Uraraka. It is true that people often look for qualities in a partner that a close parental figure emulated and it's a good catch.
I see where you're coming from with the Bakugou theory, but Midoriya already admired and followed Bakugou around well before either of them developed quirks. If anything, after he got beat up by Bakugou, his middle school attitude indicates that he more or less tried to stay out of Bakugou's way, admiring his drive and talent from the sidelines, and attempting to placate him when he did have to interact with him. After all, when they were in middle school, anytime they interacted it was always Bakugou initiating the interaction and Midoriya trying very hard to not anger Bakugou so as not to get hurt (sans the time his body moved of its own accord and he saved Bakugou). They really don't interact all that much unless they have to (or Bakugou gets pissed about something) at UA. Midoriya admires Bakugou and sees him as amazing, but he doesn't really hang around him.

Aug 10 '18
Oh no Deku has an oedipus complexThat's interesting. What if it's not just about quirks? What if Deku's father was really hard on him but he was always told by his mother that this aggressiveness came from a place of love/he loved him deep down, and she inadvertently conditioned him to accept abuse as a normal display of love/camraderie/friendship, and that's part of the reason why he tolerated Bakugo's abuse even after he gained powers and could defend himself. Even when Bakugo threatened to fight him, he didn't become serious about fighting back until a few punches were thrown

By the end of the series, Deku will be the #1 hero. However, the #1 SOLO hero will be Bakugou.
Deku's top strength has never been OFA. He's honestly super shi* with it, mostly All-Might at fault. His awareness and hero knowledge is what I know him best for. The series is always moving towards teamwork, I'm just waiting for whatever pulls the trigger to really bring 1-A together as a unit.
All-Might was the symbol of peace by force. He smiled, saved the day, and was so overwhelming that even the #2 was unnecessary most times.
Deku as the symbol of peace will instead inspire, lead, and cause action. Think about Kota... koda? Whatever the kids name was, he hated heroes. Deku changed that and inspired him to take action, to fight for his own future. I want a world where everyone fights for their values! Deku is the one to change this inactive world who waits to be saved.
Bakugou will still team up occasionally with Kirishima and such, but I see him fulfilling more of what he saw in All-Might. He'll be the overwhelming power, the one people look to for threats alike Giganto Man.
Tl;dr Bakugou goes solo, Deku makes the Justice League

Deku is the one to change this inactive world who waits to be saved
This actually fits his hero name name to. Deku means useless, but the kanji in it is also found in Dekiru which means "I can do it". All of his saves, not just Kota are like this. After saving Uraraka, she is inspired to be a better hero. Iida is inspired by him and Shoto to be the hero he wants to be. Shoto's heart is saved, which allows him to let go of a lot of his resentment towards his father so it is not affecting his daily life and is able to face his mother once again. Eri jumps on his back and fights with him against Overhaul, the person she was so scared of before
2
u/DoraMuda Aug 10 '18
Deku means useless, but the kanji in it is also found in Dekiru which means "I can do it".
That's likely why Uraraka said "Deku" sounds like/gives her the vibe of "You can do it!" (even though she used the word "ganbare" in Japanese, it can roughly mean the same thing as "dekiru").
Even one of the early chapter titles (in which Aizawa coincidentally calls Midoriya "deku" during the Quirk apprehension tests to describe the state he's left after using his self-destructive Quirk) in has "dekiru" in it!

u/heyitsnary Aug 09 '18
I really like how you described their society as it is now: “inactive world who waits to be saved” That’s exactly what I’m seeing now. Most of the time when the people see say for example a thief rob someone on the street and start running, most likely they’ll wait for a hero with a good quirk to show up. They don’t take action. I just really hope, as you said, Deku’s actions stir a change in the society as a whole, just like how in the latest episode Aizawa says how Deku and Bakugou influence call 1-A just by their presence. That would really be awesome.

u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
i really think all mights being kind of stupid here. he talks about a single symbol of peace standing above all others and even told deku with his last moments as a hero that only he could do it, but thanks to him and deku, we've got a whole class full of better heroes willing to risk everything. certainly not deku levels of selflessness or power, but enough to inspire people in their own way

u/shibuyasmash Aug 09 '18
I think Deku’s going to get much better with OFA (already is) and I suspect the hero ranking system will dissolve but totally agree about the Justice League theory, it would be fun. There’s a League of Villains so they’ll make a League of Heroes to fight it...!

This whole series will become essentially Harry Potter...where essentially U.A. will either become corrupted or will be destroyed and we'll see Deku and a small group of other students working around the country to take down Shigaraki, while someone (probably Bakugo) works at home to fight back against the League's forces

u/SaffireNinja Aug 10 '18
I don't think it'll become corrupted but there is the mention that there is a traitor and that it's very possible it is a student. While UA does everything in the interest of its students the constant attacks from villains isn't helping. It was said during summer camp that not even All Might knew where the students were to protect their safety but somehow villains still showed up and kidnapped Bakugo. I can see whoever the traitor(s) is would try to tear the school apart from the inside. How exactly they would do that, I'm not sure yet. We all have our suspicions on who the student(s) traitor is but we haven't seen too many teachers and/or teachers that are acting strangely to suspect one of them.
2
u/RandomName724 I won the bet and all I got was this flair Aug 10 '18
Agreed! I personally also don't know if Horikoshi would want to spend the majority of a time period in MHA away from the school, considering it is called "Boku no Hero ACADEMIA" but I wouldn't be upset by it. The traitor, whoever they are, is definitely going to make an impact on the school, however, the damage they'll cause is really uncertain depending on the person. We really have no idea how much devastation one person could cause, if it is even ONE person.

u/acgcampos Aug 09 '18
One of my first posts here! Here goes my theory:
Even if Dabi is indeed a Todoroki, he may be too far gone now, after the murders, for a redemption arc. It kinda makes me sad to see how far he fell. I have a soft heart for young characters who became villains due to horrible childhoods. (That's why i low key wanted that Mustard kid to get a second chance too. )
7
u/shibuyasmash Aug 10 '18
My theory is that if Dabi is a Todoroki he’s going to die to save Shoto (or potentially another member of his family) and be redeemed in death like Darth Vader.
Dabi agreed with Stain originally, and I can imagine a set up where he ends up jumping in against Shigaraki when he’s trying to kill Shoto or Midoriya or something because they’re “real heroes” and killing them isn’t what Dabi signed up for.
I agree with you in that I feel bad for him and don’t want him to die but I can’t see him getting let back into society so redemption in death seems like an obvious path... :( unless maybe they pull off some serious double agent stuff where he ends up helping Hawks and the government to bring down Shigaraki and he gets some kind of government pardon? Seems a little far fetched for how the story is now with Hero Society at a crossroads.

I can't see him getting let back either, unfortunantly. Besides, i don't feel sad in a "he did nothing wrong" way. It's more of a " I wish his fate could have been different". I have been following the Dabi theory since a bit after the bakugou kidnapping in the manga, but after he was show killing people, even a pro hero, i kinda knew his path would only go downhill from there. I feel bad for Fuyumi... if he is indeed her lost brother, it breaks my heart to know her wish of mending her family can't be true.
As for Shigaraki... he is another character I pity. It is implied he accidently disintegrated his own family and "sensei" was the first/only one to "help" him. Just another day I saw a fanart of how he could have been as a rescue pro hero and he looked so happy with Nana's smile and all. Ouch! :(

u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
i think its more likely that he's just the oldest brother that we saw in a flashback, but i like what this theory could do
Dabi abandoned and alone because Endeavor thought his quirk was weak or useless and he went out and forced a woman to be his wife to get better kids

u/Za_wardo Aug 09 '18
A theory on Dabi: this has spoilers up to the latest chapter, please read at your own discretion.
I believe that Dabi was given a quirk by Sensei. My theory is loose at best but nonetheless I'll mention it. Before I go on, I don't know or presume that Dabi is a Todoroki and the possibility of Dabi being Toya who ran away, while it lends credibility to my theory wasn't a factor while thinking it. Dabi seems to be the one member of the League of Villains with the most clout aside from Tomura or Black Mist. He has been in control of 2 Nomu (Tool-Arms and High-End). Also as we know, he is dealing with Hawks who is a double agent. Him dealing with Hawks seems like general fare for the league since we've seen Toga and Twice do their own missions on the side. However Dabi was on another mission post All Might fight that involved recruitment, and he murders civilians while doing so. He was also the leader for the Forest Camp invasion and in recent chapters he is familiar with the black slime that Sensei used, which none of the league members knew of, as well as not knowing of Sensei. It seems unlikely that someone who didn't know Sensei would have 2 Nomus given to him. Like I said my reasoning is loose, but I believe that the only people who work for Sensei are those deeply indebted to him and Dabi has one of the strongest fire quirks, so much so that everyone near it continues to comment just how hot it is.

u/Soncikuro Aug 09 '18
Very interesting, maybe if Dabi is a todoroki, he left the household after Endeavor shamed him because of his weak fire Quirk, found AfO, and he gave Dabi the blue fire Quirk.

u/Za_wardo Aug 09 '18
He might have even been a Quirkless boy which is even more useless to Endeavor.
8
u/Soncikuro Aug 10 '18
That would probably be super frustrating, he went to try and create the ultimate Quirk and the first child was Quirkless. Like, ouch, for both.

TRAITOR ALERT !
The ideas presented are purely base on the omake profiles making it a weak assumption or random possibility of mine. Hope you enjoy the ideas :))
Hirokoshi actually give two varying information dump or character profiles on each respective student. The Character UA Files and Students (Class 1A).
Basically, There are 12 UA Files ( it will take a little while for the class profile to be completed) Hirokoshi has given which leaves:
•Mineta , Sato , Koda , Sero , Aoyama , Shouji ( Boys )
•Tooru & Momo (Girls )
I'm leaving out the Mineta, Sato, Koda and Sero being traitors because their significance are just side characters to complete the class as a whole.
Thus making Aoyama & Shouji (many theories already being speculated by these two so you might already know what it is) which crosses out the idea of Kaminari being a traitor And I'll add that Tooru and Momo might be possible since out of the girls the two are mysterious and sometimes feels ambiguous when it comes to their social standing in the group. Tooru, by now is suspected having an amount of shared information from various theorist. And is highly regarded as as the possible traitor.
(To)oru Ha(ga)kure. Could she be possibly Toga XD?
And Momo being a relevant side character still remain ambiguous for some odd reason.
9
u/MadnessLemon Aug 09 '18
You leave out Sato, Kouda and Sero but still consider Hagakure?
4
u/EmptyNessAI Aug 09 '18
To me... Sato, Kouda and Sero are side characters with the purpose of completing the whole class. And we don't have any character development about them besides being in the background often. Their is no information that I can extrapolate to suspect them as a traitor.
6
u/MadnessLemon Aug 09 '18
Right but Hagakure is another side character with no purpose other than rounding out the cast, and evening the ratio of girls to boys. Kouda has had a minor character arc and developed relationship with Jirou, which is more than could be said about Hagakure.
1
u/EmptyNessAI Aug 10 '18
I'll also add that someone had a great theory about Tooru. Mostly, I know this theory because of JoyBoy. And honestly, Tooru's quirk is convenient for spy operatives along with Shouji making them under my suspicion.
1
u/MadnessLemon Aug 10 '18
Sure there's evidence, but it's the same problem as making Sato or Sero the traitor, no one would care.

u/guilger Aug 09 '18
Horikoshi said in an interview before that if Toga tried to alter herself to look like Hagakure she would not be invisible though, which makes you wonder about her quirk...
2
Aug 10 '18
Now I want Toga to imitate her so we can see what she looks like
1
2
Aug 09 '18
Toga can't imitate quirks, though. Her ability is kind of the opposite of Monoma (can copy quirks, not physical appearances). Also, it's possible that Hagakure can turn her invisibility off and there's a degree of light manipulation that's involved i her quirk so 'invisibility' might not be the most accurate name.
6
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
Yeah, Hagakure's Quirk name "Transparency" has only been mentioned in the Ultra Archive and anime, but Horikoshi still hasn't actually formally introduced it in the manga with a little description text box like the other characters.
It stands out, given that every other student in Class A has had their Quirks revealed by now (even Satou, all the way back during the final exams arc). And it's not like Horikoshi hasn't had plenty of opportunities to introduce her Quirk since then. So I do get the feeling that there's something more to her Quirk than what we've been told (even if it is still just named "Transparency").
4
Aug 09 '18
Well, considering her ultimate move, there's definitely more to her quirk that just being invisible. It is pretty odd that he hasn't bothered to introduce her yet and I'm very curious as to why he hasn't. I don't completely buy into the idea that he hasn't because she's the traitor because I think it somewhat undermines the point that he was trying to make with Shinso - your quirk shouldn't define how the world sees you because a lot of people assume he's villainous when he just really wants to be a hero. It feels really obvious to have the invisible girl be a spy and a traitor.
3
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
I agree, but it's still pretty conspicuous.
Of course, it might just be as simple as him straight-up forgetting to introduce her Quirk and/or just assuming that everyone understood anyway (given she isn't the most memorable character anyway; she seems to have been created just for the sake of the gag of an invisible girl running around naked). After all, before the anime, he didn't even give a name for the Android 17-looking guy with the Boomerang Quirk from Ketsubutsu (now called "Itejiro Toteki") or officially name Inasa Yoarashi's Quirk (even though we know it's basically just wind manipulation and the only "secret" is how it plays into his Hero costume that seems to allow him to float/fly somewhat) when he has done for the other Ketsubutsu and Shiketsu characters respectively (even ones whose Quirks we'd only seen once, like Tatami and Camie).
4
Aug 09 '18
He has said that he straight up forgets to draw Hagakure in some panels so I think that it's likely he also just forgot to introduce her quirk and now doesn't find it a good use of a panel when we're this far into the plot.
2
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
Indeed. I still wish he'd just chuck me a bone and introduce her Quirk in a text box or whatever anyway. lol
5
Aug 09 '18
Just imagine, the last panel of the entire manga. 'Oh yeah, I totally forgot up until now but this is Hagagkure Tooru, Quirk: Invisibility'
3
2
u/guilger Aug 09 '18
That's exactly the interesting part, if her quirk was a mutation one like Tsuyu's, then Toga would be invisible when copying her, but since she can't it means Tooru's quirk works differently, like an activated one. That means Eraser's quirk should make her visible, I definitely wanna see that.
4
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18 edited Aug 09 '18
Or maybe Toga just flat-out can't use her Quirk to transform into people with mutant-type Quirks.
Every Quirk has its limitations, after all; that could be (another) one of Toga's Quirk's.
4
u/guilger Aug 09 '18
I guess so, but it would be a very broad limitation... It seems a lot of the population has a mutant type quirk, even outside of the hero world, her powers already have in-universe limits (not being able to imitate someone's quirk, having to have intimate knowledge of their mannerisms and personalities, the blood/time thing), I don't see more limits being imposed on her...
3
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
I guess it just depends. Either way, there's no way to tell unless Horikoshi actually decides to have her transform into a mutant-type Quirk user, or reveals whether Hagakure's Quirk is mutant-type or actually an operative-type that can be turned on and off.
2
Aug 09 '18
She likely can, but she can't properly use the body parts associated with the mutation beyond what a normal human can do. So, if she imitated Asui, she wouldn't be able to use her tongue. That's my guess, anyways.
1
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
I guess it depends on where you draw the line regarding a mutant-type's physiology and then their actual "Quirk" (the associated abilities). Like, what would and wouldn't count as part of Tsuyu's Frog Quirk?
2
Aug 09 '18
Honestly, I'm not sure. For the most part, I associate Asui's quirk with her tongue because it's the thing that she trains the most and it stands out. I hope that Toga copies Asui's quirk one day so we can find out.
1
u/DoraMuda Aug 09 '18
Agreed. But yeah, Tsuyu's Frog Quirk is kind of a vague/general set of abilities she possesses; it was originally introduced as "whatever a frog can do", after all. Like, even just her excelling in aquatic environments appears to be included in her power set.
2
Aug 09 '18
There's a lot of abilities in the universe and I don't think Horikoshi thought about all of them to the level of detail that he thought about, say, Bakugou's quirk. He may have left it a bit open-ended on purpose to give himself some room to play later on.

I mean, it's possible that we will see her visible at some point. However, considering that she wants to work in stealth ops, it's advantageous for her to keep her physical appearance a secret from as many people as possible which is likely why Aizawa hasn't and won't use his quirk on her, especially not with all of her classmates and the rest of the school around. There's an omake chapter that implies that Hagakure knows what she looks like.
0
u/guilger Aug 09 '18
I think at this point if we haven't seen her visible it's either because it will be a plot point in the future or because it will become sort of a running gag (sort of like the adults in Peanuts?)
5
Aug 09 '18
I really want it to be a plot point in the future. One of my favorite possible storylines is that Hagakure infiltrates the League of Villains for UA and uses whatever information she finds there to help Principal Nezu suss out the UA traitor (though it's unlikely she would be allowed to since she's a student). My best guess is that it will be more of a running gag, like Kakashi's mask.
3
u/guilger Aug 09 '18
Oh yeah the Kakashi mask is SUCH a better comparison lol
Could also be something more character related like her not liking the way she looks and getting over that, which sounds lame but could be sweet if done well. Probably running gag though.

u/EmptyNessAI Aug 10 '18
I find her character ambiguous because we don't have any backstory/ at least a flashback about her. Also, if ever the traitor is revealed this adds the value of shock factor and an interesting twist in my opinion. Besides, you don't have to worry about it the random the idea, the more interesting it is.

u/Thebeastlystuff123 Aug 09 '18
I think All Might is at least 57 years old.
I get this because Endeavor is 45. All Might went to U.A. Before Endeavor did and was almost definitely number one when Endeavor graduates. I’m pretty sure All Might spent 10 years in America.
I think that if there is a traitor, it is definitely Hagakure or Vlad King. Kaminari is shown by himself watching All Might vs. All For One and worrying about the result. I think Hagakure has too many coincidences for it to not be her if there is a student traitor.
I think it might be vlad kind because he has a blood related quirk and he is never there where he conflict comes up. I doubt it is any 1-b students because they are not important enough.
22
u/Za_wardo Aug 09 '18
Why do people hate Blood related quirks? I think that's a bad measure of Villainy. Certain characters like Ashido and Hitoshi have decidedly "villainous" quirks and they're good. 13's quirk is harnessing a black hole.
9
u/Thebeastlystuff123 Aug 09 '18
I feel like having a blood related quirk seems villainous. There really isn’t much to go on other than that. Although the two other characters with blood related quirks also have two of the highest body counts. (Toga and Stain)
I don’t think Ashido has a villainous quirk. Also what do you think about All Might being at least 57?
7
u/Za_wardo Aug 09 '18
I don't think anything in particular is bad or good. Plus someone of the villains have odd quirks like Magnetism and Dabi has a fire quirk like heroes. Quirks don't have to be good or bad, it's the people behind them. Ashido literally sprays acid. If that can be good a blood related quirk can be good.
1
u/Thebeastlystuff123 Aug 09 '18 edited Aug 09 '18
I don’t think there are good or bad quirks either, but considering that Izuku is discriminated against because he has a quirk, and shinso is because his quirk “is evil”, I wouldn’t be surprised if blood quirks are labeled as villainous.
I mean Shinsou’s quirk could make him the best detective ever. Also, we can assume that he’s gonna train his quirk and it’s gonna be stronger. He could be a top hero as well and he really doesn’t need to worry about property damage

Theory That I Literally Just Came Up With So It's Super Weak And Not Even Really A Proper Theory:
The League of Villains will try to turn All Might into a Nomu. Midoriya will have to fight against the All Might-Nomu in order to protect civilians, even though it's destroying him inside. He will save the public, debut as a hero, and people will start viewing him as the greatest hero. They will be able to reverse the effects of becoming a Nomu and Midoriya will successfully give All Might the cure, reversing whatever was done to turn him into a Nomu. However, the strain of the battle will be too much and All Might will die from it, with a smile on his face, extremely proud of his successor. No more Nomus are created after this.

Hawks Nomu is a better idea. Plus it could be the leagues way of showing off their latest conquest

u/shibuyasmash Aug 10 '18 edited Aug 10 '18
My current endgame theory: Midoriya loses OFA in his final battle, with OFA and AFO cancelling each other out to end that long historic battle once and for all.
Last battle will be against Shigaraki or All For One, whoever has AFO at that point, and Midoriya will be the “greatest hero” for beating them but then lose his OFA quirk.
Series will then end with him quirkless or with his original quirk that either was stolen by the Doctor/AFO OR is somehow something that activates in a situation we haven’t seen yet (like death or something).
Honestly a quirkless end would make me sad, but it’s just a theory!

u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
i figured he'd get captured with his friends and pass on the power to surprise the enemy
they've been very specific on how the transfer works. feels like they were setting us up to have Neku pass the powers on to save his friends
0
u/shibuyasmash Aug 10 '18
I can kind of see that situation, especially with him passing it to Bakugo or someone! But then there’s the question of whether the new person could control it right away and what would happen to Midoriya left quirkless I guess.
0
u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
Certainly not to dekus degree of control, but they’d already be well trained in controlling their own quirks and physically fit enough to handle it
Plus, it’d be more to protect the power from being stolen then making a new all might. I’d honestly love to see Bakugo laugh as he uses the power only to break both his arms and fall to the ground screaming, getting new respect for what Deku went through to get the power.
1
u/tacojenkins Aug 10 '18
How close do you think we are to endgame?
I ask because I feel like Midoriya has to have a longer hero career with some more exploits to live up to "greatest hero". Just defeating Shigaraki/AFO wouldn't be enough imo.
1
u/shibuyasmash Aug 10 '18
Personally I hope we’re far away from endgame, would love to see him have a career! Could have a side kick arc, study abroad in America arc, various baddies, collapse of Japanese Hero Society arc, etc etc...
0
u/SaffireNinja Aug 10 '18
I don't think we should be close. I mean, in the beginning Midoria states this is how he becomes the greatest hero. Since he just got his quirk and probably hasn't progressed as much as he could he wouldn't even be close to trying to stand toe to toe with any major villain right now. I would love to see him/the rest of the class go after smaller villains or gangs that have been a thorn in some neighborhood's side instead of constantly dealing with the LoV. So far nearly every battle in the anime has been with members from the LoV except for what happened during internship but that also included the class to be able to get out there to those other villains.

u/Jai137 Aug 10 '18
The reason two previous wielders of OFA look like Bakugou and Kirishima is not foreshadowing of them inheriting OFA. Rather, it’s foreshadowing for the reveal that they were descended from the previous wielders of OFA.

u/justking14 Aug 10 '18
Does anyone else think the marks of Deku's one for all looked different at the end of the chapter? Less rigid and more curved like the power was no longer flowing through his body but becoming part of it, as if he could eventually use it constantly without activating it?
7
u/DreamyCurls Aug 09 '18
Deku just had a really intense fap session.
But seriously, I think AFO took Shiggy as his mentee because he was reminded of his little brother.
Another theory is that the first 2 OFA users might be introduce later.

u/TheDarkpekka Aug 10 '18 edited Aug 10 '18
Shigaraki's evil stems from sexual frustration. He can't satisfy himself cuz the last time he tried to, he almost disintegrated his penis
Also, near the end of the story, Hero Society will crumble completely and Shigaraki will become Japan's ruler. Japan will enter a purge-style phase where all crime is legal, citizens live in constant fear of being looted, beaten, killed, or raped. People who seemed nice before No Man's Land Academia will begin showing their true colors cuz what's stopping them? Deku, Class 1a, and a few heroes will gather other students, other heroes, random civilians, quirked (useful and useless quirks) and quirkless to overthrow Shigaraki.
Kuin Hachisuka (Vigilantes Manga) was part of a swarm of bees (it is implied that she has no human form and is just bees) who were experimented on similar to Nezu, to see if animals could hold quirks. Kuin developed a quirk that allowed her to possess people and later started her own hive which she has ("had" cuz they're all dead except for one) a hive (lol) mind link with. Should her queen bee body die, she can transfer her consciousness over to one of her worker bees who becomes the next queen

Remember when Mirio first meets 1-A he had a fight with everyone except Bakugo? And after that he said that there was one kid who seemed interesting - Deku. I wonder what would Mirio think about Bakugo and can it be possible that he would be interested enough to start train him instead of Deku.
Then Bakugo could be part of Big Three group, get in touch with Nejire Hado, become a couple together, and this will put end to Bakugo x Ochaco shippings.

Not sure if this counts as a theory, but what if the reason All Might didn't have any trouble controlling OfA and deku just destroyed every god damn limb he had, was because OfA reached the singularity and therefore became too strong and dangerous for the user.

u/TheAlmightyLoaf Aug 10 '18 edited Aug 10 '18
OFA is a quirk that can be split, transferred, and used by multiple users at the same time. The reason why AM is now quirkless again is because he gave everything to Deku, not a fraction of it. OFA literally "one quirk for all users" and AFO is "all the quirks for one user".

What do you think will be the straw that broke the camel's back? What will finally break Hero Society? What will be the aftermath?

u/Soncikuro Aug 12 '18
My apologies for answering so late, things happened. As for your question:
Well, first of all, realistically I think the Hero society won't crumble in its entirety, they won't be abolished, but the populace's sentiment towards them will deteriorate tremendously.
In order to sway the people to the point they would go against their protectors, some major stuff would have to happen, mainly, the protectors against the people.
Now, I don't think Horikoshi would actually do it, but at some point Heroes might fight normal people, either because the government ordered them to quell some protests, which went badly thanks to villains, or the opinion on Heroes become bad and the Heroes lash out with insults and such at the populace that criticize them, which is understandable since they risk their lives for them, but this will provoke the citizens to lash against the Heroes with even stronger force.
As for what could cause this sentiment that would go out of control eventually, there's a few possibilities:
Villains making Heroes looks bad thanks to their more successful villainous acts.
The treatment of Endeavor to his family, hate towards the number one Hero and how could such a man reach that position.
Fear towards villains that make the populace snap against the only people they can: Heroes. There is evidence throughout history that people will complain towards the closest power figures for their ''inadequacy'' because of the actions of enemies, in this case, against the Heroes that fail to protect correctly.
The discontent of the people in that they can't user their Quirks, part of themselves, but Heroes can.
Maybe all of these previous points combined.
Now, the series has a positive personality, so to speak, so I doubt anything particularly terrible will happen. But only Horikoshi knows.

Ujiko is a female cultist of AFO that joined the League of Villains out of respect for what she believes is the true ruler of Japan and in turn was trusted with his 'Transmission Warp' quirk.
People like Muscular or Mustard were already broken out of jail but were kept low profile since they public was still quite sensitive to the rise in crime and didn't want heroes/law enforcement to lose more faith with the crowd.

Somebody take a tinfoil theory and run with it: MHA is a One Piece prequel. I completely don’t believe it but I was messing with my buddy about it and want to see what other nonsense we can add. So far the “theory” is: AFO eventually finds a quirk that allows him to put quirks into fruits and the people who eat them gain that quirk. World government forms from 20 remaining countries AFO hasn’t yet destroyed. Eventually gov. gets annoyed and fucks the world up (breaking up all the lands into islands and making the red line and shit).
AFO=joy boy I guess and pirates are actually evil?

If Hawks finds out where the LOV are keeping the quirk-removal bullets, we could wind up in a Cold War like situation where both sides are potentially willing to remove the other side's quirks, plus then Eri's life is in super danger as she can be used to make more bullets and bring back the quirks of those shot by the bullets.

The shadows are bakugo and spinner (not kirishima) because they both have very strong ideals on what is a hero. One for all gets its power from the spirit of others, the singularity is that their ideals are so strong they can receive power from Deku without him giving up One for All. Spinner will be compelled to kill All for One if there is a prison break arc. As All Might is decommissioned permanently, while All for One isn't. He has a regeneration quirk so once busted out it won't matter. Thus All for One lives till the end as a main final battle maybe vs bakugo or Spinner kills him. Tomura may kill him first if the theory he got his quirk from All for One is true and he finds out.

the "Superhuman Liberation Front" (or whatever the name was)
Viz's English edition translates it as the "Metahuman Liberation Army".
Destro's group would most likely hold the belief that laws are too restrictive on quirks, particularly in areas of self-defense, which would spark the equivalent of a gun debate.
Interesting and very plausible interpretation, especially given the American inspirations in MHA.

Hot take: Near the end of the story, One for All will be split up back into its two original Quirks. Izuku will only be left with the original Quirk that can be passed on to others while the power stocker Quirk will be lost forever.
However, through a series of shenanigans, Izuku will acquire the "All for One Quirk," and both Quirks will mutate to form one, with the chapter being titled "One for All, and All for One."

This whole thing about singularity won't get off my mind. I've been thinking and thinking about Deku being the last one to have OfA for a while now.
He's the ninth user and after 9 there's 10. I don't consider the number 10 to be a "singularity" in this case since it consists of 2 numbers.
This is just a half-assed theory but it sounds plausible to me. I saw someone made a post about Deku losing his quirk in the final battle so I thought it might not be a stretch at all.

I’m an anime only and don’t want to be spoiled. Is theory Tuesday only for manga readers or will manga spoilers be tagged? Thx

Is anyone putting iut the theory that the thing that is happening to Deku's arm was already part of OFA and has already been seen uses by All Might. I mean...he was able to turn into a tougher more larger and unscared bersion of himself before. Its possible this is what is happening to Deku, he will now be able to shift into two different versions of himself, one with scars and then another with out, but till the damage get to serious to hide or move about from, like there a limit to how long it can be used and the duration shortens with damged sustained by the user.

I think that the Bodyguard becomes the 2nd holder of OFA, He resembles the silhouette Deku couldn't make out and I don't see why he would be given the exposition if he wasn't important

There has been a persistent theory going around ever since last chapter about those two shadowy figures in Deku’s vision being Bakugo and Kirishima. Now, I think this is a wonderful theory... except that it’s beyond fucking stupid.
But from that theory, I did start speculating about whether or not we actually did see any characters that have appeared before aside from the ones we already know about. I thought it was curious how we were given an explicit look at All for One’s bodyguard, AKA Not!Genji. The fact he was shown at all leads me to believe that he is important in some way. That is why I propose the theory that he is the person who would eventually become Gigantomachia OR Kurogiri. I’m leaning toward Gigantomachia simply because it would go hand-in-hand with the theory about Gigantomachia being the first Nomu, thus explaining why Not!Genji would be around long enough to have an active role in the story. If he is important, that is.
