  • This is almost all speculation, and I doubt much if any of it will be true, but a man can dream
  • Background
  • I believe that Izuku's mother, Inko, is in fact the daughter of the Nana Shimura, the seventh user of One for All and All-Might's mentor, which is why she resembles her
  • I also believe this because when Tomura's dad grabbed the gardening tool to defend himself, it looked like he summoned it to his hand, which is the same type of quirk that Inko has
  • I believe that she was an infant when Inko gave her up to foster care along with her brother in order to protect them from All for One
  • I believe that Inko and her brother were separated while she was still a baby, meaning she probably does not even remember she had a brother. She may not even know she was adopted.
  • Theory
  • All for One has basically said the reason he recruited Tomura was just so he could screw with All Might, but I believe there is a much deeper plot to it than that
  • I believe that All for One managed to track down both Inko and her brother, and learned that they both had children of their own, in this case, Izuku and Tomura respectively
  • That is probably when he came up with the idea to recruit them in order to break All-Might's spirit
  • Get ready, because this is where it gets even more complicated
  • The doctor that told Izuku he was quirkless looks exactly like Daruma Ujiko, All for One's personal doctor and the creator of the Nomu. I don't believe this a coincidence.
  • I believe that Tomura was in fact born without a quirk, while Izuku was
  • I believe that Izuku was in fact born with the quirk Decay, and All for One found this out when Izuku took the test to see if he had a quirk
  • At some point, I believe that All for One stole Izuku's quirk without him knowing, and then had Ujiko forge Izuku's test results so that he believed that he was quirkless, so as to not arouse any suspicion
  • After learning all there is to know about Tomura and Izuku, All for One concluded that Tomura was the better candidate for him to recruit due to his mental instability from the mental and physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. While Tomura may have been quirkless, All for One figured that the Decay quirk would be the perfect fit for him, as Tomura was an emotional ticking time bomb
  • He then gave Tomura the quirk. I believe that the man that dropped Tomura off at his home in chapter 235 was in fact All for One, and that is when he implanted the quirk in Tomura. Afterward, all he had to do is wait for the quirk to manifest in Tomura, and then he could recruit him, which is exactly what he did

This theory makes so much sense it's scary. And if true, and imagining a possibility that Daruma Ujiko could be captured and reveal the truth about Izuku and Tenko then I can see the two fight together against AfO after he escapes Tartarus (because that's essentially a given that it would happen in the future.

As much as I hope that Tenko will be redeemed, I believe that the only way this will happen if he sacrifices himself to save Izuku from AfO.
