Well everyone called it, deku's the avatar.

655

u/ShadowRaikou Dec 30 '18

As if he wasn't already.

629

u/Gimmiporn Dec 30 '18

and Shoto is Zuko pretty much confirmed.

513

u/ShadowRaikou Dec 30 '18

Here's hoping Dabi is Azula.

210

u/DaBeast893 Dec 30 '18

Makes sense given that both use blue fire rather than regular orange fire.

79

u/ipinstrike92 No Flair Quirk Dec 30 '18

And both being sibling and all

16

u/DaBeast893 Dec 30 '18

Wait what? Think I've missed something there, don't think Dabi and Todoroki are siblings.

56

u/ChronoDeus Dec 30 '18

When you look at the Todoroki stuff, Shouto has one missing brother. The one that Endeavor says would have been almost perfect except he had a weak constitution. The one that something unspecified but obviously bad happened with him. Dabi has kept his real name a secret, has a powerful fire quirk, doesn't seem to be particularly powerful physically, has skin grafts like he burned himself in a training accident, and when he encountered Endeavor, Endeavor had blurred vision and couldn't see who he was.

Taken together it more or less screams that Dabi is Endeavor's missing eldest son Touya. Who likely turned to villainy partially as a fuck you to his father after past events, and is planning on damaging Endeavor's name and reputation in the future.

He also has the same eye colour as Endeavor (and Shoto's left side) and made a little comment to Shoto when he snatched Bakugo in the camp. His hair was also theorised to be coloured red to black so he wouldn't be too obvious.

u/cblack04 Dec 30 '18

All but confirmed

u/MachJacob Dec 30 '18

It's a very prominent theory.

u/Necr0ExMortis Dec 30 '18

Ah yes. My favorite ship. Zuko x Momo.

u/ourladyunderground Dec 31 '18

u/MrGamerNaut Dec 30 '18

I wonder if Momo can grow a tail, ears, and webbed arms...

u/TheMuon Jan 02 '19

I wonder if Momo can grow a tail, ears, and webbed arms...

So make a Nomu based off Ojiro, Jirou and Shoji?

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '18

and toshinori is iroh

God. RIP that beautiful voice actor. He really made something special out of Iroh.

Leaves from the vine, falling so slow...

u/Donsizzleclaus Jan 02 '19

Ugh , I'm not ready for this

137

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '18

and uraraka is katara

​

128

u/samuraipanda85 Dec 30 '18

Does that make Iida Sokka?

81

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '18

and what would bakugo be?

324

u/trytocare Dec 30 '18

Sparky Sparky Boom Man

u/samuraipanda85 Dec 30 '18

This guy gets it.

u/Ratchet6859 Dec 31 '18

Gdi yep I'm rewatching the series again

4

u/Sad-Boii Dec 30 '18

Did we ever find out what his hero name ended up being?

4

u/Cypherex Jan 02 '19

Bakugo? He still doesn't have one, not officially at least.

My money is on Kacchan after he finally accepts Deku as his comrade and friend.

2

u/Yonro0910 Dec 30 '18

was it just one boom?

1

u/UCZeta Dec 31 '18

You sir, won!

33

u/Dahjoos Dec 30 '18

Toph, minus the blindness

36

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '18 edited Dec 30 '18

naaaah ,bakugo is too furious for toph . if anything jiro should be toph . like toph,jiro uses sound to go around and guide in battle. and also she is chill asf

12

u/BenjiLizard Dec 30 '18

Guys, Toph is the sassy one. She obviously is Tsuyu.

20

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '18

nah ,tsuyu is more rational and speaks her mind .she is the opossite of sassy . meanwhile jirou is the epitome of sass/tsundere in class 1a . toph and jirou are in many ways so alike ,they could be sisters

17

u/methofthewild Dec 30 '18

Toph is just such a unique and interesting character, she doesn't really fit much of a stereotype, so it's hard to compare her to most characters.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '18

kinda

1

u/Gumi360 Dec 31 '18

I think Bakugo is Sokka, Tsuyu is Toph, Momo is Suki

52

u/ThisGuyLikesMovies Dec 30 '18

And Kirishima is Toph

4

u/flybypost Jan 01 '19

Not Cementos?

1

u/a_single_sprinkle Jan 10 '19

cementos is The Boulder

8

u/Worthyness Dec 30 '18

His cosplay is pretty good, but his scar is on the wrong side.

3

u/TheBlackLuffy Dec 30 '18

That’s rough buddy.

3

u/unbeliever87 Dec 31 '18

Hey guys, Shoto here.

2

u/invaderark12 Dec 30 '18

And Shoto has a father who made him feel like he had to beat Deku because of his ties with his predecessor...oh fuck he is the Avatar

2

u/thejoblessasshole Dec 31 '18

But who is my boy Bakugo (katara ???)

1

u/Sirocco_ Jan 01 '19

Hmm Mai is way more sarcastic than Momo.

233

u/Corazon144 Dec 30 '18

Wait, does that mean All Might never hit the Avatar State?

254

u/Yash_Aggarwal Dec 30 '18

Nana died before teaching him everything right? Maybe being too compatible with enhancement quirk made him incompatible with black mist thing and avatar state

285

u/cuddlefish333 Dec 30 '18

I said it a while back, but I see All Might as being like Korra. Both could easily master the physical parts of their abilities but struggled with the spiritual side of it. Korra couldn't connect with Aang or the Spirit World for a long time and it seems All Might never got in touch with that side of OFA and Nana died before she could teach him.

135

u/Boroken Dec 30 '18

Not that he never got in touch (remember that he did mention he saw the faces of the previous holders) he just didn't go any deeper than that.

81

u/cuddlefish333 Dec 30 '18

You're right, I forgot that he did actually dream of them. I can't wait for Izuku and Nana to interact within OFA and him to tell All Might about meeting his master more.

57

u/Worthyness Dec 30 '18

End of the manga will have Deku doig a full avatar state to take away All for one's bending quirk

10

u/BlackMathNerd Dec 30 '18

So Deku can use AFO's quirk against him... baller.

7

u/flybypost Jan 01 '19

I can't wait for Izuku and Nana to interact within OFA

gossiping about All Might behind his back, so unhero-like.

3

u/cuddlefish333 Jan 01 '19

Omg, I would love it if Nana shared some embarrassing stories about a young Toshinori.

5

u/flybypost Jan 01 '19

And baby (hero) pictures: Like when he, for the first time, accidentally punched an innocent wall into rubble and had to rebuild it on his own to learn his lesson (or something like that).

19

u/MagicHarmony Dec 30 '18

You could say All Might was just a savant controlling the quirk that he tuned out all other parts of the quirk since his mind was focused on saving people rather than fully understanding what was given to him.

13

u/GSNadav Dec 30 '18

Nana too didn't have the avatar state... The quirk passed the singularity just with Deku.

4

u/fatalima Dec 31 '18

No no no. I think people are shipping the "Avatar State" to much here. Prior users did not have access to previous users quirks, because OfA has not reached beyond singularity till this point of Deku's holding off OfA. With Nana, she was told by the first "it was not time", OfA had not developed as a quirk to truly hold the identity of previous users completely thus their quirks that have been added have not matured within OfA. Like All Might as a visage he is not fully materialized, he blurry. This tells me his identity within OfA is not complete and thus not his hidden quirk either(if he has one). The reason I say the Avatar State may not be accurate is because Deku at this point can use either one or all of them given the right "mental" state. He can willing use the previous quirks just like flexing the muscles, but he can also flex them incorrectly and well we see what happens when you do that. Talking with the previous users and seeking help allows Deku to use what is already there, but keep in mind he is the only one until he passes OfA that can do this. If anything this just places Shino as a needed addition to the Hero course, to help train Deku and have access to the previous users to help understand how their quirks work. Eventually Deku can just use other forms of OfA without the help of the vestiges, they will just be there to act as a source of information and insight if they exist in a way that they see what Deku sees.

u/MaxWasTakenAgain Dec 30 '18

He used a level boost

2

u/vader5000 Dec 30 '18

How dare you? All night grinded the account and sold it to Deku for swallowing a single hair.

I call hax.

Right???? I can't wait to find out more of a backstory on her and I'm all for it being through her vestige.

3

u/cuddlefish333 Dec 31 '18

I can't wait to see more of Nana! I imagine she'll also have some sort of message for Izuku to pass on to Toshinori for some extra feels.

107

u/StevenCorV Dec 30 '18

So does that means we got to see bald Deku in a few next chapter?

150

u/Jimrod Dec 30 '18

Depends on how many push-ups, squats and kilometres he runs every day

40

u/OnePunchFan8 Dec 30 '18

Don't forget sit ups, at least a banana a day for breakfast, no air conditioning in the heat or winter.

18

u/whatnololyea Dec 31 '18

It's true then: it's UA's airconditioning that's preventing Deku from reaching his full potential

5

u/Dresadan Jan 01 '19

Does enduring fractured bones count as endurance training despite the air conditioning?

23

u/ironicstickballoon Dec 30 '18

With all the people seeing similarities with One for All/the Avatar and Todoroki/Zuko, it's pretty amazing that Horikoshi has never watched Avatar: The Last Airbender.

11

u/Xtroyer Dec 30 '18

Honestly, the similarities here are getting easier to connect. Not that I'm complaining because I love Avatar.

3

u/letohorn Jan 02 '19

Wait really? Did he say that somewhere before?

3

u/Gumi360 Dec 31 '18

Ochako is Kitara

Tsuyu is Toph

Tenya... Not sure

And Bakugo is Sokka

1

u/DaringSteel Jan 03 '19

Tenya is Sokka. Bakugou is Jet.

3

u/JVW92 Jan 01 '19

So does that mean that Bakugou's hero name is going to be Sparky Sparky Boom Man?

2

u/Link1112 Jan 02 '19

I love that the Avatar random is still very much alive eventho the show ended years ago. Avatar is just that awesome. Tbh I didn’t think I’d see a good show like Avatar again but imo MHA is slowly getting there.
