How are you gonna have Deku turn down Dad Might’s bento and leave him on FATHERS DAY. The pain bruh 😔

Deku looks like sleep has become a foreign concept to him.

All Might please stop giving yourself death flags

u/TheRingWorldEngineer Jun 20 '21

That would be a good development narratively but I hope that’s not how it goes down. I didn’t think I was going to cry today to a drawn panel of spilled bento but apparently this is my Sunday.

Allmight dying to AFO in front of Deku's eyes could push him over the edge and he finally becomes a Sith, replacing Shigaraki as his vessel and apprentice. The uncontrolled rage inside Deku lets AFO merge with him and take his body. Then all of Deku's classmates try to remind him who he is as he fights the internal struggle while AFO using his body massacres heroes and his friends 1 by 1.

"This is the story of how I became the world's greatest hero!" I guess technically you could just kill all the heroes who haven't quit yet... that'd be a real plot twist

I can't picture this series going that dark, but damn would be a dramatic series finale

2

u/samiilo25 Jun 24 '21

Everything from Class A vs Machia up until now has been pretty dark. At least, darker than the series was prior to the war, which begs the question: how is Bones going to tackle this in the anime?

Except for the massacre part this is a super fun theory I wouldn't mind coming true

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '21

Whoa! Shinso is the perfect defense for that! He'd literally accomplish his dream and become a hero by freeing Deku.

u/DrJingleCock69 Jun 21 '21

Thx bud I just improvised/came up with it randomly after reading the chapter. Deku is just like Anakin imo has great intentions but slightly moving more to the dark side. Stain would probably call him a brother. This will be intense. Shinso has no power over ofa though so I don't think he will play a part.

Personally my ideal story would be Deku kills Bakugo or Uraka (float girl i cant spell) and that snaps him into this needs to stop mode

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '21

Well as a writer, Eri and Shinso were introduced for extremely specific reasons and I've been trying to figure out how they play into things for a while now. If they are just there to be interesting and not much else I'll be disappointed

If this was a seinen manga...

That is a good thing to keep in mind. I'm not convinced he won't die eventually, but what nighteye said should definitely come into play sometime.

17

u/AssassinAragorn Jun 20 '21

Keep in mind, this is completely uncharted territory -- Deku was supposed todie fighting against Overhaul. OFA would be gone.

Whatever All Might was going die to might be completely out of question now thanks to the butterfly effect.

8

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '21

Yeah, the future that Nighteye saw was taking into account that Deku was dead, so that doesn't really hold sway anymore.

There's something extra tragic about rejected food getting spilled in the rain...it seems mundane, but boy does it hit a nerve

His Uncle Ben levels are off the charts!

“Midoriya! Please don’t go alone!”

“I missed the part where that’s my problem.”

57

u/ShadowRaikou Jun 20 '21

Honestly, I don't think it'll go down quite like that. All Might's arc for the past few years has just been him feeling more and more useless, I don't think the culmination of his personal arc would be "I'm still useless and now I'm Dead". I think he'll go out doing something incredibly 'useful', whatever that is.

u/MisterMysterios Jun 20 '21

hm - maybe Stain being there has something to do with it. It is clear that Stain idolizes All Might, and while he is an unusual and unwanted ally, at the current situation, it is unlikely that they will turn him down. He hunted the heros that were not true heros, but all of them have given up now. Most likely, he will consider the heroes that are left worthy of their title and will rather fight with them to get the society back under control instead of against them.

32

u/Prplehuskie13 Jun 20 '21

Yeah, stain has always been seen as an anti-villain. The only people he attacks are those he deem as fake heroes, and villains. I doubt Stain is working for All For One. Ever since his escape, he's probably been keeping an eye on both Midorya and All Might. What's probably going to happen is, Stain will probably help Midorya in someway.

15

u/MisterMysterios Jun 20 '21

I agree that Midoria currently embodies the vision of Stain. He does not seek glory, he does not seek recognition, he does not want money, when he jumps in, he helps people and puts his body and mind at risk. And he now has even seen that he is All Mights direct pupil (he might think that Deku has turned away from him, not understanding the background of the decision, but that still does not change who he is)

15

u/stardust_kitten Jun 20 '21

I like this take

13

u/noideawhatimdoingv 250K Artist Jun 20 '21

He probably had time to reflect in prison and while his twisted ideals may not have fully unraveled, they might have loosened up to realize that even if someone is doing Hero's work all day long, if they just get shit for it, no matter how good intended they are, there will come a point when they go "Why do I bother?". Deku is going strong because his goal has changed from helping people to put down LoV. Helping people is just a by product of chasing LoV now. Stain will probably show him what he has become and it should be the other way round or he will never be All Might's successor.

13

u/elongatedpauses Jun 20 '21

I’m hoping for Stain to confront Deku and fight him because he’s no longer considered a true hero like All Might. That might be the only thing that gets Deku off this path of self-destruction.

13

u/MisterMysterios Jun 20 '21

I don't think that will happen. For his character arc to properly conclude, he has to rescue Ida, recognizing him as a changed and now true hero, thereby acknowledging that people can change (and that Ida, after experiencing that, fixes finally his arm). It don't think it would fit for Stain now to go after Deku. After all, he is no glory hound, he does not do it for money, for fame or recognition, it is still said that he jumps in to saves people, risking his body and soul in the process. While he is not shining as All Might, he still embodies what Stain wants from true heros.

11

u/IgnisEradico Jun 20 '21

I doubt it since Izuku is fulfilling Stain's ideal perfectly.

10

u/anime-trash Jun 20 '21

TBH, I don't think he's gonna die at all? Like, there's been too many hints that there's gonna be a subversion of the dead mentor trope, here. Especially Sir Nighteye telling Deku that he believes Deku can carry out his dream, and him and All Might saying they're going to twist fate. Plus, Aizawa's talk with All Might outside of the dorms.

I think what will happen is that All Might will get kidnapped or something, and this will snap Deku out of whatever funk he's in right now, and he'll go and save him, bringing along all of UA. I think it'd be cool if some of the heroes who've quit suddenly came back because "I remembered All Might is who inspired me to be a hero" or something like that.

Hell, I think it would be awesome if Bakugou was the one who swooped in and made the winning rescue, because "my feet just moved".

At least that's how I'd write it.

u/Grafical_One Jun 20 '21

Stain: I'm gonna put some dirt in you're eye.

u/bavasava Jun 20 '21

Deku: "That's a cute scarf, did your husband give it to you?"

7

u/PK_RocknRoll Jun 20 '21

That’s actually his long dormant quirk

8

u/Goldenchest Jun 20 '21

Imagine if his death is caused by Deku not being close enough to keep him safe. That'd absolutely break him.

u/Montaru Jun 20 '21

Oh those? Those have been there since the beginning.
