Random BNHA opinions
Something like this technically belongs in a blog post but I don't feel like making one (this is also partially bc I can't write comments on articles so I'm writing everything here instead)


 * King Explosion Murder/Lord Explosion Murder is a good hero name, you guys are just mean
 * Same goes for Alien Queen btw though Pinky is cool too
 * Speaking of hero names I definitely don't want Kacchan to be Bakugo's hero name, no thank you (I'm honestly surprised Bakugo still lets Deku call him that)
 * Bakugo's hero name turned out to be Dynamight I preferred the spelling "Dynamite"... oh well . It's alright I guess? (I'm just glad it's not Kacchan lmaooooo)
 * Also I wouldn't mind either way if Todoroki keeps his current hero name "Shoto" or gets a new one (though Icy Hot is kinda ridiculous tbh, I know people mean it as a joke/meme but still)
 * btw Eraser Head is a terrible hero name I blame Present Mic
 * I prefer the full title My Hero Academia, but when it comes to acronyms I prefer BNHA for some reason (maybe bc I see people using that one more so I'm more used to it...?)
 * I don't want Hisashi Midoriya to be a villain (and especially not All For One... e u g h) but at the same time I don't want him to be too normal either?? Like I want him to have some significance in the story without being outright evil
 * Like no offense to people who like the AFO = Deku's dad theory but the mere idea of AFO being related to Deku in any way (and/or having a connection with Inko Midoriya) absolutely disgusts me
 * If the traitor is any of Class 1-A's students (other than Mineta lol) I'm gonna be mad
 * Wait actually if the traitor is literally anyone other than Mineta then I'd be upset lmao
 * I want AFO to be the "final boss" instead of Shigaraki just bc I want to see Deku beat the hecc outta him
 * Though if Shigaraki kills AFO himself sweet sweet revenge and then becomes the final boss then... that'd be acceptable I guess (as long as AFO isn't "satisfied" by Shigaraki killing him or something stupid like that, god I'd hate that so much)
 * Alternatively: Deku and (redeemed??) Shigaraki combo attack on AFO and kill him instantly
 * I haven't read Vigilantes yet but Chizome Akaguro looks better as Stendhal than as Stain
 * I don't really understand why some people complain about Deku getting "too much" focus I mean... I like the other characters too but Deku's literally the main protagonist??? Like of course he'd get the most focus
 * I first wrote this one all the way back in April 2019. As of April 2021 this is still relevant (and my opinion hasn't changed one bit)
 * I don't want Shigaraki to kill All Might, but if that does end up happening then Deku better kill AFO
 * I don't think Mirio should stay Quirkless, he deserves to get his Quirk back after everything he's done MIRIO GOT HIS QUIRK BACK WHOOOOO (I'm slightly disappointed it happened offscreen though, even though we got a flashback of it)
 * tbh I was hoping Mirio would get his Quirk back during a more dire situation where U.A. is getting attacked or something. Oh well
 * I can't believe Shigaraki is (1cm) shorter than Todoroki
 * I also can't believe Dabi is the exact same height as Todoroki
 * I can however believe Dabi is taller than Shigaraki, what I can't believe is that they're only 1cm apart
 * I can't believe Gentle Criminal is only a year older than Aizawa
 * I also can't believe both Twice and Stain are the same age as Aizawa
 * I also can't believe Mr. Compress is the same age as Gentle Criminal (and therefore a year older than Aizawa, Stain and Twice)
 * I also can't believe Edgeshot is older than all 4 of them
 * I really enjoyed the first movie but I don't like how AFO was shoehorned in the plot at the last minute it made me hate him more
 * I think Ida looks better with blue eyes than with red eyes
 * I also think Shigaraki looks better with light blue hair than with white/gray hair, imo he looks a little blander with white hair since the rest of his color scheme is already mostly black (with a little red) nvm Shigaraki is beautiful with white hair. I like both hair colors pretty much equally now tbh
 * I also think Aizawa's eyes when he's activating Erasure looks better as red than yellow
 * I also think Tensei Ida looks better with dark blue hair than black hair (the former actually makes him look like Tenya's brother)
 * I don't like either of Present Mic's eye color (red in manga, green in anime) imo it should've been yellow like his hair
 * Black-haired Dabi/Toya >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pink-haired Toya (unfortunately not canon) >>>>>>>>>> red-haired Toya ≥ white-haired Toya *Gordon Ramsay voice* IT'S BLAND
 * Like the difference between white-haired Dabi and white-haired Shigaraki is that 1. white hair actually fits Shigaraki. Not so much with Dabi imo, it clashes too much with his design & looks blander on him than on Shigaraki 2. all of Dabi's siblings already have white hair so it's repetitive and boring
 * Turns out Dabi actually has bits of red in his white hair (so it's not as bland as I first thought). Black-haired Dabi is still superior lol
 * All Might's appearance in Jump Force makes me very uncomfortable
 * Jiro is a part of Bakusquad, if you leave her out you're wrong
 * Speaking of which "Bakusquad" feels more like a Kirisquad or Kamisquad tbh (Dekusquad actually feels like a Dekusquad...)
 * I'm curious about who Horikoshi's favorite BNHA character is (idk if he's ever said who his fave is) though at this point I'm pretty sure Mirko is his fave AKSDJLFJSL
 * Apparently in the Volume 30 extras he said his faves are Tsutsutaka Agoyamato and Chikuchi Togeike... I don't buy it lol (he could just be being sarcastic, maybe even as a jab at someone irrelevant like Yo Shindo making it into top 10 of the 6th popularity poll)
 * Kaminari (presumably) doing the Meta Liberation Army's 'L' pose in Chapter 241 is making me worry the "Kaminari = traitor" theory might be true oh god please no
 * Chapter 242 actually brought up the whole traitor thing and now I'm even more concerned
 * Chapter 263 might've killed Kaminari = traitor so now all I need is for Hagakure = traitor to die too (or just straight up confirm Mineta = traitor already since the chapter also added some fuel to that theory)
 * So many people want Kaminari (or Ochaco/Kirishima/Tsuyu/etc.) to be the traitor bc they think the traitor's identity should be "impactful" or whatever but like... I'm pretty sure the biggest reason why the traitor is even a thing in the first place is bc Horikoshi needed someone in Class 1-A to be replaced by Shinso. And Mineta is the one who's most perfect to be replaced bc his negative traits far outweigh his positives (even "irrelevant" characters like Hagakure, Koda and Sato have more likable traits than him)
 * Also "Mineta's too much of a joke character" can't be used as an argument against him being traitor anymore bc Ujiko is one of the most evil villains in the series and he's been making a ton of silly face expressions plus Mineta isn't even actually funny he's just gross
 * I can't believe can't-ya-see-kun has his own page on this wiki
 * Class 1-A + Eri's Christmas outfits in Chapter 242 were so cute omg
 * It's probably too late for me to say this but I'm disappointed Chitose Kizuki was killed (and so early too)
 * Centipeder's voice in the anime was... unexpected to say the least
 * I feel like the Endeavor Agency Arc ended a lot earlier than I expected
 * If Shigaraki's actually getting multiple Quirks then I kinda hope one of them is some kind of telekinesis, at the very least it would be useful for him to be able to move things around without accidentally decaying them, also it would look cool ig
 * Bonus points if it's a Quirk stolen from Deku since it's kinda similar to Inko's Attraction of Small Objects Quirk (though I'm not really a fan of the "Deku's Quirk got stolen as a kid" theory)
 * This dream sequence might be hinting at how Shigaraki now has either telekinesis or a gravity based Quirk? It's got the same vibes as this
 * I hope the series will introduce a character based on rubberhose animations (I just think they're neat)
 * Just realized that the Shie Hassaikai Raid is actually a positive example of "all for one" (all the heroes trying their best to save one girl) 🤔
 * There have also been negative examples of "one for all" like All Might being the sole Symbol of Peace having bad consequences after his retirement
 * Gee it's almost as if "one for all" and "all for one" have to be together and in balance instead of just sticking to one or the other 👀 hint hint wink wink
 * I'd rather Hawks die than become a villain (I mean I don't want either of them to happen but if I had to choose one...)
 * Another theory that I'm not a big fan of: Bakugo (and/or another character, usually Kirishima) time traveling to the past and becoming one of the OFA users pls no imagine all the paradoxes it could create
 * The only thing I do like about this theory is the Bak-U-Go (back you go) pun
 * Fortunately Chapter 310 debunked this theory for good (like the 2nd user looks similar to Bakugo, but there are clearly still some differences like their eyebrows)
 * Even though Shigaraki's one of my favorite characters, I gotta admit he can look super ugly depending on how he's drawn Hori and his inconsistent art style smh
 * Horikoshi might not do the 2nd and 3rd years??? N O
 * Ok I know this isn't confirmed but still, I really don't want Hori to end the "Academia" part of the story this early, not until like the end of the series
 * I wonder if Shigaraki can decay Gentle's elastic air
 * Can't believe Hawks got a left eye scar before Dabi (not counting the scars on both eyes) smh inb4 Hawks becomes a replacement for Toya Todoroki
 * Oop turned out it was only temporary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 * I really want to see a villain version of this picture (it could probably only be made after the Meta Liberation Army Arc and Dabi = Toya reveal are aired on the anime)
 * I hate how so many people want a bunch of major/relevant characters to be killed off for ~raising the stakes~ or ~impact~ or whatever no that's what you call wasting characters and their potential just for shock value
 * Present Mic punching Ujiko is the most satisfying and amazing thing ever now all I need is Shigaraki punching both AFO and Ujiko like that, many many times oh also Mineta being punched like that by everyone
 * Actually scratch that, Star and Stripe beating the hecc outta AFO is THE most satisfying scene in BNHA so far (he even stopped smiling for once)
 * I'm actually kinda disappointed that AFO's hair turned out to be white tbh, I was hoping his color scheme would be more similar to Overhaul for parallel reasons (like Shigaraki and Eri)
 * I don't get why many people think All Might should die like what Sir Nighteye foresaw... I mean it's not impossible but it would render the whole "the future can be changed" thing established near the end of the Shie Hassaikai Arc completely pointless
 * This scene lowkey reminds me of this (probably just a coincidence like Todoroki's resemblance to Zuko from Avatar though idk if SU is a type of thing that Hori would like )
 * What if Horikoshi's been going ham with giving Shigaraki this "final boss"-esque treatment in this current arc despite still being at an earlier point in the story bc Shigaraki actually won't be the final boss by the end of the series. Like an "enjoy this while you still can bc eventually you won't be seeing him like this anymore" kinda thing. Hmmm
 * I finally watched the second movie and it was great!! I can finally stop avoiding spoilers now
 * Katsuma and Mahoro Shimano remind me so much of Tenko and Hana Shimura (even their last names are similar!) and it makes me sad
 * Heroes Rising established that Katsuma is an Edgeshot fan. Which means Edgeshot absolutely cannot die until Katsuma gets to meet him in person
 * One argument that I see people who insist Shigaraki must be the final villain use is "Deku and Shigaraki are parallels so Shigaraki has to be Deku's final boss!!" Well did you know there's another, potentially more satisfying way for Deku and Shigaraki's parallel to be completed? Both of them facing against the same opponent (AFO)
 * It's worth noting that Deku and Shigaraki's parallels aren't 100% flipped versions of each other. Shigaraki never dreamed to be a villain, he wanted to be a hero but was forced on the path of villainy. So it would be rather poetic for Deku and Shigaraki to both have a heroic role at the end of the series just like they've both dreamed as kids (though obviously Shigaraki could never become a full-fledged pro hero even at that point, but at least beating up AFO is enough)
 * Also the people I mentioned above tend to be hypocrites bc the same people turn around and insist that Shigaraki will kill both All Might and AFO. Even though if the parallels are as 100% exact as they say then Deku should be the one to kill AFO
 * I hate the "Ida" spelling so much :( Iida is better... oh well I'll just have to get used to it lol
 * Yes I saw Hori's "BNHA is ending soon" comment. Yes I hate it (idc what he actually meant I Do Not Like It)
 * I say this as someone who wrote a wack theory on how Twice might somehow still be alive (see theories/predictions section below): if he's really dead then I'm fine with that (despite me feeling sad for him + personally wanting for him to be Ida's villain counterpart). And I don't blame Hawks for having to kill Twice, I don't think Hawks is a bad guy or whatever unlike how some people insist he is I think he made the (comparatively) "best" choice he could've in that situation
 * ngl Yoichi and AFO are reminding me more and more of the common fanon depictions of Pacifist!Frisk and Genocide!Chara Undertale (neither of which I'm a fan of... I mean I don't like the fanon depictions, I like Frisk and Chara themselves so I feel bad about comparing Chara to someone as hideous and repulsive as AFO )
 * And the OFA vestiges remind me of Narrator!Chara (a fanon that I actually like lol) + the 6 fallen humans (color coded souls)
 * It's kinda funny bc Ochaco is the one that actually looks like Chara

Random BNHA theories/predictions
I might actually move this to a blog post at some point bc this section has gotten too long I'm too lazy though

These don't really have solid evidence, they're just for fun lol (also I don't necessarily believe in all of these)

Warning for scanlation spoilers & Heroes Rising spoilers

(All For All would be the best name imo, it's just short enough and it carries the meaning of "all heroes work together to save all people" or "All Quirks for All people") (as for why Momo: she looks similar to Nana and shares a similar name pattern, and her Creation is opposite of Shigaraki's Decay) Toga hates herself -> Her desire to become someone else increases -> Her obsession with blood worsens (as her Transform can only be activated by drinking blood) -> She kills someone and drinks their blood and transforms into them -> She enjoys at first but later regrets and feels guilty -> The guilt makes her hate herself even more -> Repeat (oops no Kirishima; this is mostly based on how Tsuyu is part of the evacuation team along with the main 5 which might lead to her being cemented as a main character, also this exists) Now Spinner on the other hand, if Ida was his hero counterpart Spinner won't stand a chance against him lmao (I know blond and dark hairs are really common in the BNHA universe but it's the fact that they're each specifically grouped into trios that matters)
 * Shigaraki, Dabi, and/or Toga (the big 3 "main trio" of the League of Villains) will be redeemed HORIKOSHI PLEASE
 * Toga is related to a hero (so basically the LoV's main trio are all related to heroes in some way)
 * Toga is unable to transform into anyone she's related to, which is how the point above will be revealed
 * Bonus points if she's related to Hawks. Just a hunch (I mean at least there's this parallel so...)
 * If someone were to gain both One For All and All For One, the Quirks will cancel each other out and make the user effectively Quirkless (either the Quirk Factors will destroy each other OR the Quirks will remain dormant but unusable within the user, if the latter's the case then the user may still be able to sense the presence of OFA's (and possibly even AFO's) predecessors and have dreams of them)
 * This is how Deku will defeat the final boss (Shigaraki or AFO) by forcibly passing on OFA to him, though Deku himself will still be able to use OFA for some time
 * Alternatively: if someone gains both OFA and AFO, the Quirks will merge and become a new more powerful Quirk (All For All? One For One? All For One For All? One For All For One?)
 * Deku and (redeemed?) Shigaraki will give each other OFA/AFO to combine their Quirks and finally truly kill defeat AFO
 * This might've technically been foreshadowed by Ujiko telling Shigaraki he'll be able to get his hands on OFA in Chapter 246
 * This will reflect the fact that "all for one" and "one for all" are originally from a single phrase that ultimately has a positive meaning, hence the combined Quirk being used heroically
 * AFO having the copy/"fake" version of the Quirk reflects how he's twisted the meaning of "all for one" for himself. Shigaraki having the original/"real" AFO and giving said original to Deku will reflect how they've embraced the true definition of "all for one" (along with putting it and "one for all" together as they're supposed to be instead of keeping them apart)
 * This will follow the recurring theme of accepting both sides of things, like Todoroki learning to accept his fire side along with his ice side, and Deku & Bakugo learning to "save to win and win to save"
 * The physical similarities between Deku & AFO (regardless of whether "Dad For One" is true or not) and Shigaraki & Yoichi, instead of the other way around like you'd expect, may be hinting at how Deku and Shigaraki will be the final recipients of AFO and OFA respectively
 * It can be said that the overarching conflict of this story is of collectivism (heroes/hero society) vs individualism (villains, specifically the LoV/Paranormal Liberation Front). The quote "all for one and one for all" means "all the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members pledge to support the group", a balance between individualism and collectivism. The creation of All For All will symbolize this overarching conflict being resolved once and for all
 * Alternatively Shigaraki will give AFO to Deku but not receive OFA, leaving only Deku with AFA. But... one of the major themes in BNHA is that "one" is bad, whether it's one man carrying the burden of protecting the entire society by himself or one man selfishly hoarding as much Quirks as he wants to himself. So thematically it would make more sense for there to be at least 2 AFA users eg. Deku and Shigaraki
 * Depending on what kind of Quirk it turns out to be, AFA may or may not be the solution to the Quirk Singularity issue
 * The "side effects" of OFA (like breaking bones & draining life force) can be countered by Super Regeneration and Life Force (Shigaraki already has the former, and the latter can be stolen from AFO/Ujiko) especially since both Quirks' effects will be amplified by OFA
 * OFA starting thanks to the 2nd OFA user reaching out to Yoichi could be foreshadowing AFA starting by Deku reaching out to Shigaraki
 * Overhaul will be turned into a Nomu
 * All Might will remain alive by the end of the series OR he'll die but not the way Sir Nighteye predicted
 * AFO has a 'zero/none' pun somewhere in his real name
 * Dabi will lose his left eye (as a parallel to Todoroki's & Endeavor's scars and Hawks' temporary wound around their left eyes, but since Dabi already has scars near both his eyes he'll lose an entire eye instead)
 * So far every time Dabi's shown to bleed from one of his eyes it's always been his left eye 🤔
 * Since the Todofam plotline has this "seeing/looking/watching" theme going on, thematically it would make sense for Dabi to lose an eye
 * Shigaraki will be saved (from whatever danger he's in at that moment) by Deku at some point
 * Shinso will play a part in defeating Gigantomachia (since Shinso can alter his voice he'll be able to make himself sound like AFO, Ujiko or Shigaraki and trick Gigantomachia into getting brainwashed)
 * Class 1-A will form a Hero Team after graduating and becoming Pro Heroes
 * AFO had a hand in Shigaraki killing his whole family (or at least believing he killed them)
 * Some/all of those hands aren't even actually from Shigaraki's family members
 * The random dude in a suit at the beginning of the flashback in Chapter 235 is actually AFO (who has already given Shigaraki his Quirk at that point)
 * AFO also had a hand in no one investigating what happened at the Shimura family's home (despite the house itself being completely destroyed) + no one helping Tenko in the streets for that matter
 * Shigaraki's hands are actually from the 7 predecessors of OFA
 * Since the hands are presented as if they're from eight different people (Nana, other 5 family members, 2 thugs), the 8th person 1-2 of the hands are from could be either the original owner of the stockpile Quirk or someone who had a connection with All Might (maybe a family member or something)
 * An old idea I had was that one of the predecessors had a regeneration Quirk that let them grow their hand back after it got cut off (until they died) which was how AFO had 15 hands for Shigaraki, but I don't really believe that anymore so...
 * "Kotaro's" hand is actually from the 2nd OFA user (based on how they're similar in that Kotaro was against Tenko wanting to be a hero and the 2nd user disapproved of Deku wanting to save Shigaraki)
 * While Deku will become the greatest hero, Bakugo will become the #1 hero
 * Alternatively, Deku and Bakugo (maybe even Todoroki?) will share the #1 spot on the Hero Billboard Chart
 * Alternatively, the Hero Billboard Chart will no longer exist by the end of the series (this makes more sense imo since we've seen the negative effects of this chart's existence eg. Endeavor's crimes)
 * Shigaraki will become Quirkless (regardless of whether the OFA + AFO = Quirkless theory above is true or not) by the end of the series (opposite of how Deku was Quirkless at the beginning but later gained a Quirk)
 * Alternatively AFO will become Quirkless by the end of the series instead (it would be so much more karmic, plus it would parallel All Might becoming Quirkless after using up OFA's embers)
 * If/when Best Jeanist retires from being a hero, he will become a hero costume designer (if he isn't killed by Hawks that is)
 * All Might's sclera actually did change from white to black as he aged, this is a "mutant" feature that he inherited (like Mina's black sclera + horns and Tokoyami's bird head which have nothing to do with their Quirks)
 * There is/was a Twice clone somewhere out there who managed to escape during the whole clone fight
 * Eri will grow a second horn (on the left side of her forehead) that lets her "fast-forward" living beings
 * Dabi's backstory will be similar/parallel to Kirishima's (we already know they both dyed their hair, their hairstyles also became pointier, they've both hurt themselves with their Quirks, and they were both inspired by someone [ Crimson Riot for Kirishima and Stain for Dabi])
 * Either Todoroki's or Hawks' role in Dabi's backstory might've been similar to Mina's role in Kirishima's (doing something that Dabi/Kirishima has failed to do?)
 * There will be a character whose Quirk doesn't affect characters that are currently Quirkless and/or characters that were born Quirkless
 * Shigaraki's hair will grow long enough for him to tie it up like Nana's hair
 * Momo is Shigaraki's younger sister who got separated from the Shimura family at a young age and adopted by the Yaoyorozu family (so the LoV's main trio + AFO all have at least 1 younger sibling)
 * Since Kotaro is already a big hypocrite (despite resenting Nana for hurting him he's hurt his own family even worse) it makes sense for him to send Momo for adoption/foster care like what Nana did to him, except he likely did it for more selfish reasons
 * If Shigaraki gets a good look at Momo's face he'll actually see the resemblance between her and Nana/Hana and probably freak out about it
 * AFO's Quirk-stealing Quirk is a combination of a Quirk-copying Quirk and a Quirk-erasing Quirk he inherited from each of his parents, while Yoichi's transferring Quirk was a mutation
 * Dabi will unlock ice powers (possibly at some point after losing his left eye [so he'd only have 1 blue eye on the right side, visually it would be opposite to Todoroki's left eye being blue] if that actually happens) but it will obviously be weaker than Todoroki's
 * Alternatively Dabi will unlock the ability to generate dry ice, though I think that would make him too op... but if Dabi can only create lesser amounts of dry ice (compared to how much ice Todoroki can generate) I can see it working. Also a dry ice Quirk would be pretty cool ngl
 * Actually now that I think about it, considering how Dabi's fire has both superior and inferior aspects compared to Todoroki's (stronger firepower, but it burns up his body) it would make sense for that to be the case for Dabi's ice too (can generate dry ice, but not as much as Todoroki can generate normal ice)
 * The Todoroki family's fire powers are connected to their blue eyes somehow, so if/when Dabi loses his left eye he'll lose his fire powers on his left side and instead gain ice powers in its place (so he'd really be like an opposite, unbalanced version of Todoroki basically)
 * Dabi's natural hair color will also change so it's white on his left side and red on his right side (possibly foreshadowed by Toya's white hair first manifesting on his left side, especially this, though it could just be foreshadowing Dabi gaining ice powers on his left side), or his hair will turn pink just like can't-ya-see-kun . As a sign of how he can handle his fire better bc of his new ice power, or something idk
 * If Dabi loses both his eyes or Todoroki loses his left eye then they'd lose all their fire powers and be able to use ice powers on both sides, but if Endeavor loses both his eyes then he'd be effectively Quirkless
 * Bonus points if Dabi's ice is colored more blueish (like this except way smaller in size). idk I just think it's neat
 * In Chapter 266 Twice yells "Hot! Cold!" after almost being burned by Dabi's flames. Possible foreshadowing? (I know it's Twice being his usual splitting self but the timing is rather... odd. Almost like it's been shoehorned in)
 * Geten is related to the Todoroki family
 * Alternatively, Geten is related to Nine (I don't actually think he's related to either of them but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
 * Shigaraki will find out about Dabi's past and try to get him to kill his whole family (instead of just Endeavor)
 * But Dabi will refuse to do so which will obviously make Shigaraki frustrated/angry (this part is based on the assumption that Dabi will be closer to redemption by the time the above happens)
 * Eri's Rewind's power is accumulated from eating sugar (her horn grew after eating a candy apple)
 * Sato will play a part in helping Eri control her Quirk since his Sugar Rush is also activated by sugar
 * Mineta is the traitor I just HAD to include this
 * After Mineta is revealed to be the traitor (and kicked out of UA or killed or whatever) Shinso will take his place in Class 1-A (well 2-A now ig)
 * Shinso is being set up as Mineta's replacement not only as a Class A student, but also as one of Kaminari's friends (hence their interaction in the Joint Training Arc)
 * Since Mineta apparently still wants to be a hero he's actually planning to either betray the LoV/PLF or just never get caught as traitor ever, however he will either fail or change his mind and end up dying either way
 * Mineta started showing signs of losing faith in the heroes in Chapter 283 which may lead to him ditching the hero side and sticking with the villains for good. Not to mention this chapter placed a panel of just him next to a panel of Hawks who himself is also a "traitor" (of the LoV/PLF) who ended up sticking with his original side (the heroes)
 * Speaking of Hawks: him forming a genuine friendship with Twice despite being a spy, would parallel how Mineta genuinely (at least from what we can tell) sees his classmates as friends despite being the traitor I am so sorry Hawks
 * Another character will point out that in hindsight it was actually pretty obvious that Mineta's the traitor bc it is obvious, he's literally the least heroic character in UA
 * Not only is he the most obvious suspect, he's also the least obvious at the same time bc of his goofy appearance (though Slidin' Go also looks goofy and he's a traitor) and personality (he's either faking it or just genuinely incompetent) which makes him perfect for the role of the traitor
 * Speaking of Slidin' Go there are actually visual similarities between him and Mineta (especially in their hero costumes) and while they don't necessarily have to be related (I don't think they are anyways) this could be a parallel that hints at Mineta being the traitor (seriously just look at them in the last panels of this and this. Also this, the shape of Slidin' Go's eyes and mouth just screams Mineta parallel) Slidin' Go looks even more Mineta-ish in the anime I-
 * Slidin' Go may be shown again sometime before the traitor reveal, as a ~reminder~
 * Mineta knows that Shigaraki/the LoV currently isn't aware of who the traitor is (only AFO and likely some of his closer associates know), which is why he was genuinely scared back during the U.S.J. Incident (according to his inner monologue in Chapter 15 anyways)
 * When Nezu brought up the traitor in Chapter 242, All Might reassured him by saying that all the students have heroic hearts. Mineta is the one student we know for a fact that doesn't have a heroic heart
 * If the traitor is someone other than Mineta, they will be redeemed
 * Deku's last fight in the Shie Hassaikai Arc is foreshadowing what his final battle at the end of the series will be like:
 * Deku will save Shigaraki (who parallels Eri)
 * All Might (who parallels Mirio) will also be involved in saving Shigaraki, though he'll sacrifice something of his in the process (since he's already Quirkless unlike Mirio, he may lose his life instead)
 * Though since Mirio got his Quirk back All Might may not permanently die either, instead becoming comatose and waking up later
 * Shigaraki will help Deku defeat AFO (who parallels Overhaul)
 * After the fight, Eri will significantly harm AFO in some way (parallel to how Shigaraki cut off Overhaul's arms) likely either by rewinding his Quirk (which turned out to be a copy so it might be easier to get rid of than the original?) or himself into nonexistence. If not Eri herself then the Quirk-destroying drug/bullets can be involved instead since they're still made with Eri's DNA
 * The "destruction of the LoV" mentioned by Spinner in Chapter 222 hasn't happened in the MLA Arc (it's not referring to the creation of the PLF) and will happen later (it's worded as "the LoV is doomed" in the official translation but the dictionary definition of "doomed" is "certain to fail, die, or be destroyed" so it's accurate enough)
 * There will be some kind of conflict/battle between Toga and Ida (since Toga has crushes on Deku, Ochaco, and Stain she'll hate Ida when she finds out he's bffs with Deku and Ochaco and started the fight against Stain that led to him getting locked up; alternatively she could fall in love with him instead for basically the same reasons but that would be way too repetitive at this point )
 * Toga secretly hates herself, which is why she's so obsessed with becoming someone else that she loves
 * Toga's character arc will involve her learning to love herself (regardless of if she'll be redeemed or not)
 * She's trapped in this cycle of sorts (which she has to break free from eventually):
 * Toga's constant smiling and her telling herself she's "happy" and "normal" are her coping mechanism (trying to repress her self hate and guilt)
 * Dabi will claim that his [the whole "driven to villainy" part of his backstory] wasn't unfortunate/tragic like what Toga and Shigaraki did with theirs (Toga said she's "not unfortunate at all" and Shigaraki said him killing his family "wasn't a tragedy")
 * Toga's main "hero counterpart" (like how Shigaraki's is Deku and Dabi's is Todoroki) is Bakugo, not Ochaco, and this is foreshadowed by their MLA opponents' and hero counterparts' Quirks:
 * Shigaraki's opponent Re-Destro's Stress is an accumulation Quirk that makes him stronger, forms markings on his body and even has percentages, as is Deku's OFA
 * Dabi's opponent Geten's Quirk is ice manipulation, as is part of Todoroki's Half-Cold Half-Hot
 * Toga's opponent Chitose's Landmine causes explosions, as does Bakugo's Explosion (even Chitose's Curious Flattener is kinda similar to Bakugo's Grenadier Bracers)
 * Toga and Bakugo being counterparts will have something to do with 1. their self esteem issues (see Toga hates herself theory above) 2. how their Quirks affected the way others treated them (Bakugo was praised for having a "heroic" Quirk and Toga was demonized for having a "villainous" one) 3. Toga desiring to live however she wants without consequences & Bakugo actually having gotten to do that (eg. bullying Deku though Bakugo might face consequences for that eventually idk ) 4. possibly how their Quirks affected their personalities negatively (making them more violent) and 5. being usually stuck in a "default" emotion (angry Bakugo/happy-go-lucky Toga) 6. feral children with unruly blond hair + tsurime eyes
 * Toga talks about how "insecure guys tend to have short fuses" (which literally describes Bakugo, though she's actually talking about Mimic in that scene) in Chapter 149 which might be foreshadowing a conflict between her and Bakugo
 * It makes sense for Toga and Bakugo to be counterparts since Toga, Shigaraki, and Dabi are the LoV's main trio while Bakugo, Deku, and Todoroki are the main trio on the hero/UA side (main quartets if you add AFO and All Might [obviously counterparts of each other] to each side respectively)
 * Ochaco vs Toga could be more of a secondary dynamic in line with Hawks vs Dabi (still significant, but not as much as Toga vs Bakugo and Dabi vs Todoroki)
 * Ochaco, Ida, Kirishima, etc. probably don't even have main counterparts bc they're not as important as the main trio/quartet, same goes for less important villains like Twice, Mr. Compress, Spinner, etc. <- (I don't really believe this anymore but whatever)
 * Though if they do have counterparts then maybe they're: Ochaco & Mr. Compress (in it for the money [at least Compress was the one who cared most about cash/LoV's poverty in Chapter 220] but still care for their teammates), Ida & Twice (energetic and comical, often loud and making lots of hand gestures, plus their family members were crippled/killed by villains), and Tsuyu & Spinner (similar Mutant Quirks meaning they likely faced similar discrimination)
 * The villains' placement in this cover happen to line up almost the same way as their presumed hero counterparts in the color spread linked above, with the difference being Mr. Compress and Twice being switched Compress was too irrelevant to be placed any closer to the center
 * Alternatively Compress' & Twice's placements are correct bc Compress and Ida both have this family legacy thing going on while Twice did suffer from poverty like Ochaco. tbh it doesn't really matter that much
 * Either this or Ida & Spinner (something something Stain) and Kirishima & Twice (energetic, friendly and loyal) or Twice has no counterpart if he's actually perma-dead
 * With Mr. Compress, it's worth noting his past job as a magician/entertainer is a kind of job that involves making other people happy. And Ochaco likes to help others bc she loves to see people look happy. And despite favoring the LoV over the PLF Compress risked his life to save Skeptic along with the other LoV members in Chapter 294, so he may have a "who saves the villains" theme to contrast Ochaco's "who saves the heroes"
 * In Ida and Twice's case it just so happens that it's been established (in the Hawks vs Twice battle) that speed is the key to defeating Twice's clones, and Ida is a speedster type of hero
 * Ochaco and Twice being counterparts could maybe work considering how Toga has mentioned Twice directly to Ochaco before and Ochaco's flashback in Chapter 324 shows Eel Boy, a hero that was later killed by Twice('s clone), on the same page as a flashback of Toga crying over Twice, which may be a setup for Something. Plus Ochaco may be forced to use Toga's "drop them to death" tactic on Twice's clones
 * Also possibly foreshadowed by this poster: Shigaraki is facing Deku, Dabi is facing Todoroki, and Toga is facing Bakugo even though they could've had her face Ochaco instead (plus AFO facing All Might). Ochaco, Ida, and Kirishima are facing 2 random villains bc again, they don't have their own villain counterparts, and even if they do they'll be (comparatively) less important I think I'm starting to sound like I'm suggesting Toga and Dabi might potentially be more relevant than Ochaco (not that I actually believe that... unless?)
 * And now there's also this vs this... Inch Resting
 * Also this official video
 * It's worth noting it's been established earlier in the series that Bakugo won't underestimate/go easy on an opponent just bc they're a girl
 * It's also possible Horikoshi gave Toga a Quirk upgrade so she can fight more evenly against Bakugo. While Toga was (and still is) always a competent fighter with just her knife, she'd still have been no match against Bakugo bc of how powerful his Quirk is. But now that she can copy others' Quirks she'll even be able to use Bakugo's own Quirk against himself
 * Toga and Ochaco's foil dynamic is based around 1. them both being girls and 2. ~romance~ (both of their crushes on Deku + Toga's crush on Ochaco) the combination of which is... extremely cliche (I don't mind their crushes or them fighting each other in general, but when this acts as the basis of their foil dynamic that's when it becomes a problem) honestly I wouldn't even have a problem with Ochaco vs Toga if Toga wasn't LoV's only (alive) female member and one of the very few female BNHA villains in general :/ alternatively if BNHA's main trio was Deku, Todoroki & Ochaco (instead of Bakugo) I would've accepted Ochaco vs Toga regardless of number of female villains, but that's not the case so
 * Plus Hori has subverted many cliches (eg. Bakugo not becoming a villain) and Designated Girl Fight is such an overdone and boring trope, so maybe not only will Hori subvert that trope but he'll also make the subversion a plot twist. That could've been why he's been hammering home the Ochaco vs Toga thing + playing that trope straight with Toga vs Chitose yet at the same time dropping subtle hints for Toga vs Bakugo and Ochaco vs Compress, all while hiding Bakugo's villain counterpart and Compress' backstory/motive (until Chapter 294 which does imply it has something to do with money, considering he's related to someone like Oji Harima)
 * Hawks will try to save Dabi (after learning about his past) but be killed/almost killed by Geten (based on the whole "Icarus flying too close to the sun" myth that everyone already loves comparing Hawks and Dabi [and/or Endeavor] to, but what really killed Icarus was the ocean where he drowned; ice is basically solid water)
 * Bonus points if Geten creates ice by freezing an entire ocean during his fight with Hawks
 * Toga's sibling(s?) will be relevant at some point
 * They're attending/will attend UA high school if it doesn't get destroyed before they get a chance to that is
 * They'll befriend Todoroki and Momo (forming a trio of heroic younger siblings with villainous older siblings; see Momo is Shigaraki's younger sister theory above)
 * Endeavor will sacrifice himself while trying to protect Todoroki and/or Dabi (either he'll lose his life, his Quirk, or both his eyes [only if they're actually connected to his Quirk, so he'll be both blind and Quirkless])
 * Dabi and Toga will get Origin chapters
 * The 2 silhouetted OFA users in this scene (likely the 2nd & 3rd) were forced to inherit OFA, so they're more reluctant to help Deku (which is why they're not reaching out towards him), and/or they forced OFA onto the next user
 * And/or they were morally bad/ambiguous in some way
 * Ok so Chapter 310 kinda implied that at least the 2nd user might be morally ambiguous (since he seems to care more about winning than saving) we'll have to wait and see though
 * At some point after finding out Dabi = Toya, Endeavor will have that dream with his family being happy again except this time Dabi/Toya's also there
 * Geten and Re-Destro will be killed by Dabi and Shigaraki respectively
 * Possible parallels between LoV's main trio and the Big 3:
 * Obviously there are 2 guys and a girl in each group
 * Shigaraki & Nejire have light blue hair, Toga & Mirio have blond hair, Dabi & Tamaki have dark hair
 * Quirk parallels:
 * Dabi's Cremation and Nejire's Wave Motion are both Emitter Quirks with repercussions that affect themselves when overused (Nejire gets exhausted and Dabi gets himself burnt)
 * Toga's Transform and Tamaki's Manifest are Transformation Quirks that are activated by consuming a part of what they want to turn themselves (wholly/partially) into
 * Shigaraki's Decay and Mirio's Permeation aren't that similar (other than letting them go through obstacles I guess) but it's possible Decay isn't Shigaraki's original Quirk and/or he'll end up Quirkless like Mirio currently is
 * Hisashi Midoriya will be more similar to Jack Midoriya from the My Hero oneshot and/or Mikumo Akatani (prototype Deku)
 * Dabi will confront Endeavor when he's alone at his old house
 * The Big 3 and the Rooftop Gang are supposed to parallel each other, based on personality and hair color: Mirio & Present Mic, Nejire & Oboro Shirakumo, Tamaki & Aizawa/maybe Midnight (hair color only) (The main manga has been setting up Aizawa/Present Mic/Shirakumo more as a trio and leaving Midnight out but I included her anyways bc why not. Besides Tamaki's hair is closer to Midnight's than Aizawa's anyways, though personality wise he's much closer to Aizawa's)
 * Something bad will happen to Nejire, though maybe not necessarily the exact thing that Shirakumo went through, but at least similarly bad enough Oh my god Nejire's first name means "distortion" that is so concerning to me (reminds me of how Kurogiri is a distorted version of Shirakumo...)
 * Similarly, Present Mic will lose his Quirk like Mirio did
 * Tamaki may lose a limb like how Aizawa lost his leg (though at least Tamaki's Manifest Quirk may make up for it somehow? Or maybe not) and/or die like Midnight (though both Tamaki and Nejire dying would be overkill I think, even if Nejire gets turned into a Nomu)
 * Seeing Shigaraki again will remind Kurogiri of Aizawa
 * All Might will get in a coma instead of dying immediately, while comatose he will also be able to contact Deku through his dreams as a vestige
 * All Might getting in a coma might've even been what Nighteye really saw, and he wrongly interpreted that as All Might dying bc of his pessimistic attitude (though thematically All Might not dying would still be framed as "changing fate", same goes for Deku surviving the battle against Overhaul regardless of what the real reason for Nighteye's prediction being wrong is [eg. it was affected by Eri's Rewind])
 * There could potentially be a reversed version of this scene with All Might being the one bedridden and Deku by his side (like how this is a reverse of this)
 * Gentle Criminal, La Brava, and Stain will fight on the heroes' side during the Big Battle
 * Stain's decision will influence Dabi, Toga, and Spinner in some way
 * Kotaro also had Nana's Float Quirk which is why he didn't immediately get decayed until Shigaraki grabbed his face
 * There will be infighting within the PLF (Toga clearly hates Skeptic, Dabi doesn't seem to get along with Geten either and Twice doesn't really care for Re-Destro. There's also Mr. Compress' "the PLF's... no the LoV's" line)
 * Hawks isn't the only double agent within the PLF
 * Someone will be falsely accused of being the UA traitor, likely by the real traitor (Mineta?)
 * Kaminari bc of the few mistakes he's made in the past (eg. saying Stain is "cool", doing the L pose that looks similar to the MLA sign)
 * The first time we see Mineta and Kaminari hang out is in the U.A. Sports Festival Arc, which takes place after the U.S.J. Arc where the traitor made their first move, so it's possible that Mineta befriended Kaminari to observe him closer for any mistakes he make to use as "evidence" for accusing Kaminari of being the traitor (this would also be where Mineta's supposed high intelligence will come into play)
 * Deku bc of his "multiple" Quirks
 * Hagakure bc of her Invisibility
 * Ochaco bc of her financial issues
 * There could be other characters that get accused too
 * The High-End Nomu in Ujiko's lab haven't been programmed to be obedient to the villains yet, so when they're unleashed they'll attack people on both sides (it's especially suspicious that Ujiko was shown to be willing to just abandon them instead of siccing them on the heroes after it was specifically mentioned that the Nomu will be easier to capture when there's no one to command them)
 * Not only did Ujiko say the High-Ends were still in their testing phase, but the fact that Mocha used his Quirk without any commands is another alarming piece of foreshadowing

(In the same chapter where someone else compared Shigaraki to All Might too. Hm) (cue AFO sensing this happening and his smile slowly turning into a frown) (omg I found out he has a bio page and he actually looks straight up dead there akjsklfjsl) 
 * [REDACTED]
 * ...Ok so maybe the Nomu won't attack the LoV but they could still attack the MLA. Though AFO's signal to the Nomu in Chapter 295 overrode Shigaraki's original command and it's possible AFO's new command included "don't attack me or the LoV"...
 * For now, the Near-High-End Nomu are obedient, but since they're incomplete it's possible they'll start going bonkers eventually
 * Shigaraki will almost die bc of his power-up malfunctioning (eg. his new Quirks stop working when he's midair and cause him to fall from a great height) then be saved by All Might (turning into his Muscle Form one last time) while the other heroes are hesitant to save a villain like Shigaraki and the other villains are too busy trying to escape
 * Shigaraki is also significantly weakened as of Chapter 333 so it's more likely for him to end up needing to be (physically) saved
 * This would parallel/contrast the Sludge Villain Incident where this time Deku is the hesitant one (even if he's unlocked Float by that point) while All Might is the only one rushing to save Shigaraki
 * It would also obviously parallel/contrast Shigaraki's childhood past where AFO was the only one who tried to "save" Shigaraki
 * To parallel Shigaraki resisting AFO's vestige in Chapter 277: Nana (and possibly another vestige[s], maybe Yoichi? I'm biased tbh Maybe even all of them, that would be kinda cool/interesting) may try to push Deku to save Shigaraki, but Deku will hesitate or even refuse to do so
 * It seems the story has been building up so much of Deku's rage towards Shigaraki so that Deku will adamantly refuse (or at least hesitate) to save Shigaraki when he's in need of saving. However this will end up being one of Deku's biggest mistakes (see below)
 * Deku did try to save Shigaraki from AFO in the mind(?)scape in Chapter 287 (the imagery of which happened to look very similar to the Sludge Villain Incident hmm) which the vestiges may bring up when they try to get Deku to physically save Shigaraki from falling to death later on (this could mirror Nana's "don't ever forget" moment with Shigaraki: "Shigaraki, don't forget you wanted to be a hero"/"Deku, don't forget you wanted to save Shigaraki"). But when Shigaraki does even worse things after waking up like say, stealing Mirko/Present Mic's Quirks and trying to kill them, and/or perhaps attacking UA specifically with the purpose of killing All Might Deku will be more hesitant/no longer want to save Shigaraki (this may cause Yoichi's faith in Deku to be wavered). It's worth noting that Deku's attempt to save Shigaraki happened after Deku snapped out of his rage mode and none of Shigaraki's victims are around, so it will be less likely for Deku to try to save Shigaraki in the physical world where he can see all the destruction caused by him
 * ALTERNATIVELY Deku will still want to save Shigaraki regardless, it's just that he'll be unable to do so, bc of his injuries and/or some people trying to hold him back (yeah after Chapter 305 I no longer want Deku to backtrack/regress like I originally wanted to anymore lol. Anyways what matters here is that Deku must fail to physically save Shigaraki in order for this theory to work)
 * The 3 major characters involved in the Sludge Villain Incident were Deku, Bakugo, and All Might. Both Bakugo and Deku have had callbacks to this incident within the same arc. Now the only one left is All Might
 * Speaking of which, Bakugo's callback scene to the Sludge Villain Incident (him saving Deku) is the reversed version of what actually happened in said incident. Just like, as I've already said, what All Might saving Shigaraki would be if Deku were to fail 👀
 * Deku trying to save Bakugo was followed by All Might successfully saving Bakugo. Deku trying to save Shigaraki (in the mindscape) will be (not immediately ofc) followed by All Might successfully saving Shigaraki (in the physical world)
 * This will be what leads to All Might's death or coma
 * The sight of this (the legendary former #1 hero risking his own life to save one of the most notorious villains despite everything he's done??) will have a huge impact on both heroes and villains, as well as the society as a whole, and of course Shigaraki himself
 * Shigaraki's possible (immediate) reactions:
 * Kill All Might disappointing but not surprising (either intentionally, or maybe accidentally by instinctively hugging him)
 * Freak out and run away
 * (If All Might got trapped under rubble or something) Save All Might by using Decay Quirk, instinctively without thinking, then freak out and run away
 * This would be a (kinda reversed) parallel of what happened with Deku and Ochaco in the U.A. Entrance Exam where Deku saved Ochaco from being crushed by a robot when she's trapped under rubble (while everyone else was running away) and Ochaco saved Deku (who got hurt from using his new power too hastily) from falling to death
 * Chapter 283 explicitly showed a flashback of the Entrance Exam (along with other instances of Deku breaking his bones) when Deku noticed Shigaraki's body starting to break apart
 * The last scene in Chapter 269 where the heroes declare that "the lord of evil's dream will die" may be hinting at how AFO is the "lord of evil" (not Shigaraki like the heroes are probably assuming), and regardless of which side wins by the end of this arc, AFO's dream and hopefully AFO himself will eventually die bc of Shigaraki's worldview slowly starting to crumble after being saved by All Might of all people and saving him with his Decay that he was manipulated into believing was only meant to destroy. All thanks to Shigaraki being released early in that specific chapter
 * The scene in Chapter 277 where AFO's vestige is visible takes place in the same area as the dream in Chapter 270 (even the floor is the same). When Shigaraki frees himself from AFO, instead of going further into the darkness he's heading to the exact same direction that Nana and the rest of his family tried to pull/push him towards. He even has his own hand on his face as if he's trying to pull himself towards the light. And being saved by/saving All Might may just be the final push Shigaraki needs to reach his "starting line" (especially since All Might is mentioned in that scene). Not to mention saving AFO's biggest arch-nemesis would be the ultimate act of defiance against AFO
 * Shigaraki: *uses All Might as an example of someone greater than AFO* I want to be greater than AFO :)
 * Shigaraki also straight up called AFO "lord of evil" in this chapter which heavily implies (if not outright confirms) AFO is the same lord of evil mentioned in Chapter 269
 * Deku and All Might promised each other that they'll defy fate together. Deku has defied his fate, not completely on his own but with Eri's help. All Might will defy his own fate with Shigaraki's (albeit kinda unintentional) "help"
 * Speaking of Eri, Shigaraki wrapping himself in a red cape in Chapter 272 oddly kinda parallels Eri being wrapped in Mirio's red cape (of all the colors X-Less' cape could've been Hori specifically chose red... gee I wonder why)
 * All Might is also seen holding Eri in Chapter 276 which may or may not mean something
 * The aforementioned scene of Shigaraki freeing himself from AFO (with AFO being decayed) mirrors Eri being freed from Overhaul's shadow dissipating in the U.A. School Festival Arc
 * What if it's been established that Shigaraki can now control what gets decayed or not to ensure that he'll be able to save All Might without accidentally decaying him (he's already saved the Near High-Ends didn't he)
 * "You saved me, I'll save you" has been a recurring theme in the story so far, so All Might and Shigaraki saving each other would be fitting that
 * All Might's frown and AFO's smile seen in Chapter 276 will be switched with each other by the end of the arc. AFO will be frowning, not just bc obviously Shigaraki has declared AFO can't control him, but also bc of Shigaraki saving All Might. All Might will be smiling as a way to reassure Shigaraki, and bc he's glad that Shigaraki saved him
 * The Kamino Incident marked All Might's final moment as someone who wins to save. All Might saving Shigaraki will be his final moment as someone who saves to win (Specifically his final moments as ~All Might the Buff Superhero~ in the physical world I suppose)
 * Ochaco losing her All Might keychain and later getting it back in Chapter 289 may be foreshadowing 1. everyone assuming they've lost All Might to Shigaraki only for it to turn out All Might is still alive and 2. everyone "losing" All Might (him getting in a coma) only for him to eventually wake up and return at some point later on
 * Out of all these the 3rd one would be most optimal, not just bc All Might would be alive but bc it would challenge the corrupted mindset of the current hero society (which obviously needs to be reformed). Gran Torino must be proven wrong about how "if All Might thinks Shigaraki's anything less than a villain, no good can come out of it". The other heroes must be proven wrong about Shigaraki being an "it", "thing", "monster" and basically anything other than human. The society must be proven wrong about there being "heroic" and "villainous" Quirks (Shigaraki's Decay would be considered a "villainous Quirk" despite its potential heroic use). Even some people who would accuse Shigaraki of being responsible for All Might's coma will eventually have to question why Shigaraki didn't kill All Might and instead destroyed the rubble that was crushing him; they'll have to accept that it's really the other heroes' refusal to save Shigaraki that got the former Symbol of Peace in a coma
 * If Shigaraki kills All Might, the hero society would just be proven right (it would be used as proof of how "villains shouldn't be saved" bc they'll just kill you instead of being grateful) and there will be little to no effort to reform said society. As for the 2nd option, some people would question why Shigaraki didn't just kill All Might but ultimately they'll reach the conclusion that Shigaraki wasn't grateful of All Might saving him and "left him to die", similar to the 1st option
 * It would be ironic (in a poetic way?) if All Might survives after going against Gran Torino's advice, especially if Gran Torino ended up dying after sticking to seeing Shigaraki only as a villain to the very end. Even more so if Gran Torino only dies after witnessing All Might change his own fate (note Gran Torino was around to hear Nighteye's prophecy) and realizing he was wrong about Shigaraki, just like how Sir Nighteye died after seeing Deku change his fate and realizing his initial assumptions of him were wrong
 * Shigaraki having to be saved from falling to death would be extra ironic bc of Deku not saving him despite having Float (which even happens to be Nana's Quirk) unlocked
 * Possible foreshadowing: AFO claiming he saved Shigaraki from falling to death as an excuse to possess him. All Might saving Shigaraki from falling to death out of genuine goodness would contrast this
 * All Might saving a falling Shigaraki despite lacking the ability to fly would also parallel how Hawks saved Lady Nagant + also how Kirishima saved Deku in Chapter 322
 * Might /Might⁺U will play in this scene in the anime
 * I will cry if this actually happens
 * Mawata Fuwa will be relevant at some point (pretty obvious now that she has her own profile but then again doesn't the can't-ya-see-kun also have his own profile...? Just learned the KEEEE guy has his own profile too so :/ still gonna keep this theory just in case though )
 * Hawks didn't kill Twice, there was something (likely from someone else's Quirk, their blood maybe??) he put on the feather he's carrying that made Twice "fake-die", which is also what happened to Best Jeanist
 * And Twice wasn't fully unconscious during this. So he heard everything Dabi said to Hawks, from the fact that he doesn't care about the LoV to the possible Toya reveal imagine all the potential drama
 * "Losing trust" has been a recurring theme for Twice: he's lost trust in society, Overhaul, Hawks, and even himself (though he's regained trust in his clones now). Next up: Twice loses trust in the LoV, starting with Dabi
 * The whole "character that is seemingly dead actually turns out to be alive" seems to be a recurring theme in BNHA (it's happened with AFO, technically Deku, technically Toga, Shirakumo/Kurogiri, Shigaraki [technically 2 times now], technically the Nearly High-Ends [the heroes questioned how they survived so they count ig?], Gran Torino [also 2 times], Bakugo, Endeavor, Toya/Dabi, Best Jeanist [!!!], Nejire, Pixie-Bob, Thirteen, and Lady Nagant) so it may happen with Twice too (Aizawa expelling and un-expelling his students as a way for them to experience "death" also fits this theme)
 * Bonus points if the fake-death Quirk is from Yokumiru Mera, since he's part of the Hero Public Safety Commission, and he always looks like he's about to fall asleep bc he's actually always trying to stop himself from being fake-killed by his own Quirk (also the Quirk name might be "Play[ing?] Dead" or something). Though I won't be surprised if he's also genuinely tired from overworking at the same time considering how unethical the HPSC can be
 * Then again Mera's tiredness is always greatly exaggerated to the point he says out loud in front of the public how sleepy he is, which is rather unprofessional for an HPSC employee. This might be an attempt to keep people outside the HPSC from getting suspicious since a Quirk like his would surely be a top secret. Not to mention none of the other HPSC employees are seen acting that tired (despite the claim that the HPSC is understaffed), but again the HPSC could just be horrible enough to pile up so much work onto 1 guy
 * In Chapter 164 Mera says he's been scared of sleeping. Did his fake-death Quirk kick in when he tried to sleep... (Actually that could be another reason why he's always tired, bc he can't sleep without his Quirk kicking in)
 * What if he also has anemia. Bc the HPSC keeps taking his blood for shady reasons. Fatigue is one of the symptoms of anemia after all
 * It's worth noting that Mera has the same birthday as Midnight. While characters sharing birthdays are usually coincidences, there are still exceptions (like Deku & Mirio having the same birthday), and Midnight's Somnambulist Quirk happens to be somewhat similar to Mera's hypothetical Quirk
 * Mirio appearing on the battlefield around the same time as Best Jeanist might be hinting at a parallel between Mera and Eri: taken advantage of by the HPSC/Overhaul bc of their "useful" Quirks
 * Twice may be nerfed in some way after waking up, due to his injuries and the shock from hearing what Dabi said (eg. making only clones of himself [opposite of the problem he had before conquering his trauma], maybe at a slower rate and/or weaker durability Finite Doubles: Mad Man's March )
 * Both this and this could've been intentionally shaded/drawn in a way so that the blood on Hawks' feather blade is hidden (or maybe not since Hawks' feathers are red so the blood can't be seen anyways)
 * Ironically, Giganto having to go all the way back to the mansion to retrieve Twice will cause the sedative to work faster
 * Chapter 283 showed Hawks again after a long time of his absence... Best Jeanist/Twice reveal upcoming? (yes)
 * The LoV on Giganto's back are suspiciously hidden in Chapter 282. Note Giganto has a hole in his right shoulder and is missing a tooth or 2 in Chapter 282, but in Chapter 283 his shoulder and teeth are fine. Meaning the Giganto scene in 283 (passengers clearly shown including Skeptic/missing Twice) takes place before the one in 282 (passengers unknown). And something happened between those 2 scenes
 * Giganto is seen again in Chapter 286, injury status unknown (I thought there was a hole in his shoulder but it's hard to tell tbh), passenger status also unknown. Hmm
 * Chapter 287: Skeptic is shown along with others (also Toga is still upset over what happened to Twice). Giganto's injury status unknown
 * Chapter 288. Many things:
 * Skeptic is with the rest but for how long?
 * Giganto's injury status is hidden again, 3 chapters in a row (How consistent! How insistent! How persistent!)
 * Giganto also has the long claws that he had in Chapter 283, which damaged!Giganto from Chapter 282 lacks. It's been stated that he uses these claws to toss aside buildings, so instead of him retracting them despite the buildings in front of him it's more likely someone actually managed to break them (along with giving him those other injuries)
 * Both a hint at Best Jeanist being alive and a mention of Twice's 'death' were dropped in the same chapter
 * Based on the above, it's implied that 1. the damaged!Giganto scene from Chapter 282 takes place in a slightly further future, where he's heading back to Shigaraki after he returned to the mansion to pick up Twice, and 2. Giganto's heading towards a city he hasn't destroyed bc Shigaraki has moved from his original spot *cough*hunting down Mirko & Present Mic*cough* and/or the traitor that was among the kids at the mansion area (located far away from Giganto's original path) *cough*Mineta*cough* called for Giganto to pick them (traitor) up too, so Giganto changed his course accordingly ...Maybe that bike really is Inko's...
 * Chapter 289:
 * The preview text at the end is specifically hiding the tooth (or lack of?) that Chapter 282!Giganto is missing. This basically confirms 1. Giganto's teeth/injury status in general is indeed an important detail and 2. Hori's a massive troll as always. Oh also Giganto's right shoulder (where the hole would be) is covered by a debris(?) and his hands can't be seen
 * Bruh I read the official chapter (without the preview text) and I legit can't tell if Giganto's tooth is there or not jflkdjlfs (like it looks like there's something there but it's drawn differently from the rest of his teeth?? I swear Hori drew it like that on purpose ) Dabi being the only passenger shown is hella sus though. And we don't know how big the time gap is between Ochaco vs Toga & the Giganto scene
 * Toga compared Ochaco losing her All Might keychain to Toga herself losing Twice. After their fight, Ochaco got her keychain back. Possibly foreshadowing Toga getting Twice back as well
 * Chapter 290: Finally Giganto is fully shown, he has all his teeth and there's no hole in his shoulder!!!  (Also Skeptic's there) Now it's been confirmed that the Giganto scene in Chapter 282 takes place in the (slightly further) future, after he has retrieved Twice I guess Hori wanted to get the more obvious Dabi/Toya & Best Jeanist reveals out of the way before he gives us the REAL plot twist of the arc. The Mirio, Bakugo's hero name & Mr. Compress reveals are just distractions
 * ...Did Endeavor knock Giganto's tooth out in Chapter 293 (strangely enough Giganto's bottom teeth aren't shown at all this chapter [including before Endeavor's punch] even though even in the very previous chapter you can see Giganto's bottom teeth clearly) also Mirio brought up Sir Nighteye's quote about humor in that chapter and Twice is considered funny in-universe, not sure if it counts as foreshadowing?
 * Yeah yeah I know Giganto's sedative also started to kick in this chapter, but the Fear of unintentionally disobeying Shigaraki's order (not bringing Twice) could potentially give him a temporary adrenaline rush
 * Chapter 294: Hori's hiding Giganto's teeth AGAIN oh my god,, Also he seemingly hasn't even fallen asleep (one of his eyes are partially open), though even if he does fall asleep I think he'll wake back up once he senses/hears alive!Twice. And now that Best Jeanist's attention is away from Giganto he'll be caught off guard and unable to restrain him again (not to mention he's already exhausted + bleeding out)
 * Chapter 295 I'm still holding onto this theory like a clown : Shigaraki is moving from his original spot, Giganto's teeth are still hidden, his claws are still intact while in Chapter 282 they're broken
 * There's a suspiciously incomplete sentence from Hawks about Twice in Chapter 258: "I know that you're a good-natured guy. You...(?) And since I know you're good-natured..." which still has yet to be completed even after Twice's supposed death. Maybe it will be completed if/when Twice wakes up, maybe not
 * Twice's clone being destroyed bc he was dropped onto the concrete also makes it unclear as to whether Twice really died or not (assuming Twice dying for real really causes his clones to disappear)
 * What if Hawks had a small vial of Mera's blood (for emergency situations) that he opened and poured onto his feather blade while he was flying outside offscreen in Chapter 266. That would be kinda cool I guess
 * Both a hint at Best Jeanist being alive and a mention of Twice's 'death' were dropped in the same chapter (Chapter 288)
 * Later Twice is featured again in Chapter 291 where Best Jeanist is confirmed to be alive 
 * Similarly the beginning of Chapter 298 features Twice and Mera (who also happens to be bleeding btw) the awkward placement of the flashback makes me suspicious of Hori's reason for adding it
 * In Chapter 289 Toga compared Ochaco losing her All Might keychain to Toga herself losing Twice. After their fight, Ochaco got her keychain back. Possibly foreshadowing Toga getting Twice back as well
 * In Chapter 293 Mirio brought up Sir Nighteye's quote about humor in that chapter and Twice is considered funny in-universe, not sure if that would count as foreshadowing...
 * Ironically while Hawks ruined Dabi's original plan by "killing" Twice, Twice will ruin Dabi's plan B by turning out to be alive and further damaging Dabi's credibility (at least when it comes to his claims about Hawks) along with possibly trying to warn the LoV about Dabi's disloyalty (if Twice actually heard Dabi say that)


 * As of Chapter 296 even though the Paranormal Liberation War has ended, we never see the whole of how much the mansion has been destroyed, Twice's body isn't shown to be found by anyone, and we still haven't found out how Best Jeanist's death was faked. At this point I'm starting to think (if this theory is true) Twice snuck out when he woke up or something idk (he may or may not run into Toga, and/or what's left of the LoV [+ Skeptic] in the forest)
 *  CHAPTER 299 CONFIRMED BEST JEANIST'S ACTUAL BODY WAS FAKE-KILLED (INSTEAD OF USING A FAKE BODY) AAAAA  (plus Hawks talked about Twice himself on top of that)
 * Now Best Jeanist said the fake-death was induced by a medical procedure at Central Hospital, but the thing is we don't know exactly what the procedure is so it might as well have involved Mera's blood. It's also possible the procedure could've been for altering some effects of the Quirk to be more convenient (eg. make it so that Best Jeanist has to be deliberately revived by someone else, instead of automatically waking up after a certain amount of time has passed which is what the base Quirk would've done)
 * Alternatively Hawks lied to Best Jeanist about the "Central Hospital procedure" thing and in reality only used Mera's blood to make him fake-die. If the fake-death Quirk is really such a top secret it would make sense for Hawks to keep Best Jeanist from knowing about it
 * According to Best Jeanist the fake-death caused his body to be "like worn, distressed denim". And Mera always looks worn out... yeah
 * This chapter also implies that Hawks' wings are growing back (and they are according to later chapters), which the narrative could frame as a "reward" for sparing Twice. Or "punishment" since he still can't fly and it's unclear if he'll ever be able to (or both?) this would depend on Twice's future role in the story I guess
 * So Hawks said he killed Twice during the press conference in Chapter 306. But the thing is, regardless of Twice's actual state Hawks has no choice but to tell the public he killed him, bc even if Twice is alive there's no way Hawks can convince the public otherwise bc he won't be able to prove it himself. And the heroes already lied about one thing (not knowing about OFA) so who says they didn't lie about other things? (Not to mention revealing the existence of a fake-death Quirk may cause even more chaos) So this theory is still on the table
 * It's also possible Hawks himself believes Twice got killed for real bc of the mansion's destruction, when in reality Twice actually managed to escape before the mansion got destroyed any further
 * Alternatively Hawks knows/believes Twice escaped alive, and seeing how the latter hasn't caused any trouble after that day, the former decided to protect him by lying (so no one would try to hunt him down) similar to Endeavor lying about OFA to protect Deku & All Might
 * Fun fact: Bubaigawara Jin and Best Jeanist have the same initials. Make of that what you will
 * If this theory is true that would mean Dabi got fooled by Hawks twice sorry
 * Also this would be a reversed parallel of a scene in Chapter 240 where Twice is mourning Toga's death, only for it to turn out he's actually mourning her clone and the real Toga's still alive (thanks to a specific kind of blood too)
 * There's some kind of connection between AFO and the HPSC (going full circle?)
 * Maybe AFO took Yoichi's "villains always lose in the end" and decided if he's in control of both villains and heroes he'll always win no matter what. That certainly seems like a very AFO thing for him to do
 * This would be even more ironic now that there's Kaina Tsutsumi, who defected from the HPSC and is now working for AFO
 * The only people Dabi cares about are his biological family (at least Natsuo, probably Rei and Fuyumi too, maybe Shoto???) minus Endeavor obviously
 * So far he definitely doesn't care about Shoto, and has claimed he doesn't care about Natsuo either (unless he believes Shoto, Natsuo, etc. would be better off dead than living on to continue suffering or something, like a mercy kill thing) (I'll wait for an inner monologue or something from Dabi before moving this theory to the Debunked section)
 * Toga was trained by one of AFO's subordinates, possibly AFO's bodyguard from Chapter 193 with a copy of Ujiko's Life Force but not necessarily (it's implied she was trained by someone in Chapter 225 where Chitose was like "you being just another mad slasher doesn't explain these highly tuned survival skills!")
 * This person (especially if they're AFO's bodyguard) likely trained Shigaraki too since he was always very fast even before Ujiko's surgery and training with Gigantomachia
 * Dabi likes either cold soba (just like his youngest brother!!) or hot soba (just like... Inasa Yoarashi...???) (I think it's more likely to be the former bc of Dabi's "ice constitution" but who knows)
 * Shigaraki will steal Mirko's Rabbit Quirk
 * I really don't want this to happen but there's a scene in BNHA Smash where Shigaraki is wearing rabbit ears and Dabi is wearing cat ears and in Oumagadoki Zoo (another one of Horikoshi's works) there's a rabbit character named Shiina who's apparently similar to Shigaraki... the foreshadowing is too strong
 * Though I guess it's possible Shigaraki and Mirko just both happen to be based on Shiina? Especially since they all have white hair + red eyes and Mirko has a red pillow with white polka dots in her room(?) similar to Shiina's scarf (I've never read Oumagadoki Zoo so idk)
 * ngl I'd love to see a bunny Shigaraki though sjkfljsldf
 * Deku also technically has a bunny motif (his hero costume) so... possible parallels??
 * Considering the bunny patterns on All Might's bento box, maybe the rabbit motif is intentional after all...
 * Mirko will (hopefully) still be able to fight while Quirkless like Mirio oh god I just realized how similar Mirko and Mirio's names are they're like a letter apart
 * Dabi and Toga used to want to become heroes (like Shigaraki did). Maybe the other LoV members too since Kurogiri/Shirakumo also wanted to be a hero
 * Either All Might or Hawks will become the new president of the HPSC
 * Ochaco will get some kind of hoverboard activated by her Zero Gravity Quirk (I just think it's neat)
 * Shirakumo will still have black/purple hair and yellow eyes and keep his Warp Gate Quirk which seems more useful than Cloud anyways or get a new Quirk that's somewhere in between Warp Gate and Cloud, even after being healed/rewinded
 * Also his new hero name/alias will be Swift Mist or Opti-Mist
 * Shigaraki has no idea that Kurogiri is a Nomu and will only find out when someone else mentions it
 * Toga was a bully victim
 * Saito in Chapter 225's flashback was defending Toga from bullies (kinda like what Deku tried to do in Chapter 1)
 * This would further set up Toga and Bakugo as foils (and technically Toga and Deku too, but like Ochaco he'd be a less important foil)
 * Toga's "friends" seen in Chapter 225 weren't actually her friends, they were bullies who only pretended to be Toga's friends whenever the grown-ups were around
 * The "friends"/bullies weren't wearing masks like Toga was bc either 1. that scene is based on Chitose's interpretation of Toga's backstory, since she didn't know about those other kids bullying Toga or 2. the bullies got to live however they want, getting away with bullying Toga, while Toga was the only one to repress herself or 3. the bullies actually got to be genuinely happy while Toga was miserable all the time (this one ties into #2)
 * In Toga's middle (and likely elementary too) school days she would've had to either 1. pretend to be Quirkless, 2. lie about having a good Quirk (and eventually get caught lying) or 3. be honest about her real Quirk. All 3 options would've led to her getting bullied
 * The interviewee that claimed Toga was a "social kid" is either 1. a clueless adult that has no idea Toga was being bullied behind their back, 2. a student that lied bc they didn't want to be the bullies' next target, or 3. a bully that lied to save their own skin/make Toga look worse (confirmed to be a student in the anime so it's either 2 or 3)
 * Toga crying after Ochaco told her "if you're gonna live as you please and threaten people, then you also have to live with the consequences" might have something to do with how her bullies got to live as they please and threaten others (Toga & Saito, possibly other victims if any) without facing any sort of consequences, which Toga thinks it's unfair (now obviously murder is a much worse crime than bullying, but that doesn't mean bullies should be allowed to just get off scot-free, especially if they never even tried to atone like Bakugo has been doing)
 * AFO will compare Shigaraki to Nana at some point
 * AFO's true face reveal is being saved for some big moment where he gets healed/rewinded in present time
 * Deku teaming up with another character is supposed to be a recurring theme in the movies (Deku & All Might [technically Deku & Melissa Shield too] in Two Heroes and Deku & Bakugo in Heroes Rising), so any future movies will have more Deku duos like Deku & Todoroki, Deku & Ochaco, Deku & Ida, etc. and Deku & redeemed!Shigaraki in the main series finale
 * Uhh I guess the 3rd movie is sort of an outlier since it's more of a trio focus (Deku, Bakugo & Todoroki) but it's still Deku teaming up with another character so it's fine
 * AFO will betray Ujiko at some point
 * AFO might've already technically "betrayed" Ujiko by lying to him or just not telling him all the truth
 * Aizawa will fight rematches against Shigaraki✔️, Dabi (the real one this time and not a clone) and Toga
 * This will turn out to be a sign that Aizawa will be important to the LoV trio's character arcs somehow tbh I'm just biased bc I love both Aizawa and the villain trio
 * Shigaraki will go on a Quirk-stealing spree where he takes random heroes' Quirks left and right without considering whether they actually suit him and whatnot, but who cares about that when he's having so much fun (this might have some kind of negative consequence depending on which Quirks he stole and the fact that he was released at 75%)

(I'll assume this is unconfirmed for now bc it's unclear if AFO in Chapter 277 is actually calling Shigaraki brother, or if he's talking to Yoichi's vestige [who should be there since Deku is there]) this is too specific but whatever I just thought it would be cool ok?! (Chapter 275 hasn't actually confirmed this; what appears to be a bullet falling in a panel is actually just a part of Shigaraki's outfit) you've heard of Dad For One now get ready for Grandpa For All
 * Shigaraki has stolen X-Less' Laser Quirk
 * If Dark Shadow gets stolen from Tokoyami by anyone, he will be disobedient to whoever stole the Quirk
 * Mon-chan (the Shimura family's corgi) will appear in another one of Shigaraki's dreams (after his redemption maybe??)
 * The Paranormal Liberation War Arc AND the uhh ??? Arc (presumably the current 'Final Act' Arc, or whichever arc the LoV will attack UA if that happens) will fully establish the hero/villain counterpart dynamics of the main characters (to reiterate):
 * Deku vs Shigaraki
 * Bakugo vs Toga
 * Todoroki vs Dabi
 * Ochaco vs Mr. Compress or Twice
 * Ida vs Twice or Mr. Compress
 * Tsuyu vs Spinner
 * Curiously the order the kids are standing in this panel (starting from closest to front) is Deku -> Todoroki -> Tsuyu -> Bakugo -> Ochaco -> Ida (it is rather strange for Hori to put Tsuyu in front of Ochaco, Ida and especially Bakugo). So the order of these happening could be Deku vs Shigaraki -> Todoroki vs Dabi -> Tsuyu vs Spinner -> Bakugo vs Toga -> Ochaco vs [her main villain counterpart] -> Ida vs [his main villain counterpart] in that order
 * For reference I'll put this and this here again
 * Very interesting how Toga, Shigaraki, and Spinner's placements in this poster matches Bakugo, Deku, and Tsuyu's in this other poster (though Dabi and Compress' placements are just random since Todoroki, Ochaco, and Ida aren't in the other poster, and Twice being in Shinso's spot is probably only bc of how they both play a big role in their respective arcs) in a similar vein with how the Origin trio and LoV's main trio parallel each other in this poster
 * Shigaraki/AFO/the LoV will attack UA again
 * The Warping Quirk (if Shigaraki even has it) might be used to teleport everyone to UA? Since AFO's version of the Quirk was apparently "incomplete", maybe Shigaraki has a more complete version that works over farther distances and lets himself be warped too. Though this would definitely hurt him, overexerting himself by mass-warping so many people at once
 * As of Chapter 306: Deku, the only one with a Quirk that can defeat Shigaraki/AFO, has left UA (which also parallels Nana leaving Kotaro + the heroes leaving the cities unprotected during the PL War, neither of which had positive outcomes), a whole lot of civilians (including Deku's own mom) have evacuated to UA, Dabi saying something along the lines of "that wasn't enough"... yeah UA's definitely gonna get attacked isn't it
 * Esp if Hori's really planning to end the "Academia" part of the story, he might as well end it with a bang (by destroying UA)
 * Speaking of Dabi, this will be when the family confronts him (as Dabi and not just Toya) for the first time, instead of a Central Hospital attack like I originally thought
 * Not to mention AFO somehow knew Deku was gonna leave UA (though I actually think Shigaraki will be the one to choose to attack UA, after becoming free from AFO's control somehow)
 * Even a civilian in Chapter 307 brought up the possibility of villains attacking the schools... at this point the foreshadowing is too blatant
 * Chapter 309: not only Deku, but the top 3 heroes are far away from UA too. The school is even more vulnerable to villain attacks now Best Jeanist has a car so they can arrive at UA as conveniently quickly as the plot needs them to
 * All Might being attacked forgot which chapter lol while Deku is away... more foreshadowing/parallel?
 * The mansion that the LoV was at is empty in Chapter 316 so they may very well be on their way to attack UA (unless they're just at a different hideout)
 * Chapter 317-318: now Bakugo and Todoroki, some of UA's strongest students besides Deku, are away from the school as well. UA is screwed lol
 * Chapter 319: not just those 2 but the entire half of the hero course students (esp with Endeavor worried about them not being around to protect the evacuees). UA is SO screwed (Nezu doesn't seem too worried bc of the UA barrier, but I doubt Shigaraki or AFO can't just destroy/teleport past it)
 * Todoroki straight up says AFO could attack UA in Deku's absence in Chapter 321. Way too obvious foreshadowing at this point (though again, the twist could be that Shigaraki will be the one to choose to attack UA rather than AFO. And ironically Shigaraki won't even care about getting OFA, unlike how Deku sees the whole thing as a battle between OFA vs AFO)
 * ...Ok so Deku returned to UA in Chapter 322 but that only makes it more likely for the school to be attacked. And considering Todoroki's words in the previous chapter it's still possible for there to be a scenario where UA is attacked when Deku is away (eg. the civillians manage to successfully kick Deku out only for them to regret kicking out the only person that has a chance to defeat AFO/Shigaraki) esp since Chapter 323 made it clear that Deku is the best bet in defeating AFO/Shigaraki
 * Bonus points if UA is attacked during Jiro's concert(?)
 * Like how Dabi fought the #2 hero Hawks and Shigaraki fought the #1 hero Endeavor, Toga will fight the #3 hero Best Jeanist
 * Toga will significantly injure Best Jeanist (like what Shigaraki and Dabi did to Endeavor and Hawks respectively). This may lead to Bakugo fighting Toga (similarly to Tokoyami fighting Dabi and saving Hawks maybe?) if he's at the same area when the fight happens
 * Bonus points if Toga "slices up Best Jeanist's bones and muscles" and attempts to stab him in the back (only for Bakugo to stop her in time). Even though Toga doesn't know the exact details of Twice vs Hawks it would still be a cool ironic parallel imo
 * If Toga knows about the "Hawks killed Best Jeanist" thing (via Dabi's broadcast) she'd find it unfair that Best Jeanist turned out to be alive while Twice is still dead, which could be one reason why she'll attack Best Jeanist (along with Hawks himself if he happens to be close by when she finds Best Jeanist. Though I don't think Hawks will get hurt anywhere near as bad as Best Jeanist since the former already got hurt badly by Dabi, so getting badly injured again by Toga would be overkill and also ruin the top 3 heroes vs main villain trio parallel [aka the whole point of this theory]. It's also possible Toga will opt to emotionally hurt Hawks by attacking Best Jeanist) this would be SO ironic if it turns out that Twice isn't actually dead...
 * Yoichi has scars on the same areas of his face as Shigaraki's (a part of his right eye and the left side of his mouth are conveniently obscured)
 * He has no scars in Chapter 287 >:( OK BUT WAIT it's possible it's just his vestige that has no scars (maybe bc he passed down OFA before getting his scars? Unlike Hikage Shinomori who passed it down after getting his scar. idk) and his physical form still got scars on his face at some point before his death
 * AFO killed Yoichi using Decay (yes the same Quirk he gave to Shigaraki)
 * omg apparently there's a scene in Episode 33 where Yoichi turns into dust (well it looks more like sparkles of light than actual dust dust but still)... so that might be prior foreshadowing??
 * The 2 jars that Ujiko has been carrying throughout the earlier part of the PL War Arc are significant/contain important Quirks
 * They contain Rewind (extracted/copied from Quirk-destroying bullets) and Overhaul (from Overhaul's arm compressed by Mr. Compress)
 * This would be important bc they're the 2 Quirks that can be used to fix AFO
 * Since it seems like characters important to Dabi's arc (not Todoroki's since he and Hawks don't really have any particular connection aside from interacting like once, at least for now) got either scars or temporary injuries over their left eyes, likely foreshadowing/leading up to something happening to Dabi's own left eye, Geten will also get an injury over his left eye (the left side of his face is hidden in Chapter 296 hmmm 🤔)
 * The Nana seen in Shigaraki's dream is actually her OFA vestige (it's kinda obvious but they haven't confirmed it yet so)
 * The bird in baby Toga's hands was already dead when she found it but her parents assumed she killed it
 * The way the OFA vestiges are standing here indicates the order Deku will unlock their Quirks, with the exception of 4th & 6th (who seem to be switched, but I think the rest of the order will still be correct) and Yoichi & All Might (...sigh y'know what I'm leaving All Might out of this, for now. I have no idea where he'd fit in all this & how). The farther behind/higher up they are, the later. So the exact order is Yoichi Shigaraki✔️ -> Daigoro Banjo✔️ -> Nana Shimura✔️ -> Hikage Shinomori✔️ -> En✔️ -> 3rd user✔️ -> 2nd user
 * This order is also seen here except Nana and Banjo are switched
 * Also foreshadowed in No.1 (excluding Yoichi being at the very end). This time Shinomori and En are actually in correct order
 * AFO will straight up call Shigaraki "little brother" at some point (likely really late in the series where AFO has started to lose his composure) and Shigaraki will be absolutely horrified/disturbed
 * Explanations for the OFA silhouettes that don't involve time travel:
 * 2nd (spiky hair + red glow + red eyes + blue light orb): the common ancestor of the Bakugos and Todorokis (specifically Mitsuki Bakugo and Endeavor), likely with some kind of heat-based Quirk and a fiery attitude. May or may not even be related to Hisashi (I hope not though, I'd prefer if Deku wasn't related to anyone special)
 * What if OFA returned from Bakugo to Deku in Heroes Rising bc the 2nd user didn't want his family to be involved with OFA in any way and that included their descendants (especially since OFA would've killed Bakugo eventually)
 * 3rd (ponytail + purple glow + yellow eyes + red light orb): Toga's ancestor maybe?? His Quirk could be either some kind of transformation and/or blood-based. The latter would explain the 3rd user's association with red
 * Alternatively: 3rd user is related to Kurogiri/Shirakumo and/or his Quirk was used to make Warp Gate, hence the purple outline and yellow eyes. I like the Toga explanation more though
 * Ok so the 3rd user's Quirk definitely isn't transformation/blood-based but it's ok bc it wouldn't automatically mean he isn't related to Toga (like, Katsuma and Mahoro are siblings and they have completely different Quirks. Toga and the 3rd user are generations apart so it would make even more sense for them to have different Quirks. Plus we don't know Toga's family's Quirks so for all we know any of them could be similar to the 3rd user's Quirk)
 * So far we've only seen the 3rd user with his mouth either closed or open only a little, so it would be cool if it turned out he has fangs like Toga (he doesn't need to have them ofc)
 * If this is the case then all 6 of the main hero trio + villain trio (Origin 6? Assuming Dabi and Toga will get Origin chapters) are all connected to OFA in some way (Deku actually has OFA. Bakugo, Todoroki, and Dabi are all related to the 2nd user. Shigaraki is related to Nana. And Toga is related to the 3rd user)
 * If AFO recognized present-time Dabi and Toga as the 2nd and 3rd OFA users' descendants, he could've had Ujiko and another subordinate (whoever trained Toga) interact with them respectively to subtly push them in the direction of villainy, then had Giran recruit them so that they'd end up as his successor's underlings (since the 2nd & 3rd users are the ones who freed Yoichi and allowed OFA to be created in the first place it makes sense for AFO to target their descendants)
 * And yeah it's highly unlikely the silhouettes are completely new characters unrelated to anyone (unfortunately) like users 4-6, they have to be either present-time characters time traveled to the past ew or new characters related to major present-time characters, bc otherwise what's even the point of hiding their appearances AND their Quirks, not just to us but also in-universe???
 * It's revealed in Chapter 310 that the 2nd user looks like Bakugo everyone saw that coming from a mile away and also has a negative trait in common with both (past) Bakugo and Endeavor (obsessed with winning) as well as Dabi (killing people just to reach their goal of taking down AFO/Endeavor). The 3rd user doesn't look too much like Toga but he does have slit pupils like her (albeit without any sclera around them) so this theory could still work maybe his headband is the equivalent of Toga's bangs
 * Aside from the Deku & Bakugo parallel with Yoichi & the 2nd user, the way the 2nd & 3rd users first met Yoichi lowkey parallels how Dabi & Toga first met Shigaraki (through a big open door)
 * The 2nd user, Bakugo, Endeavor and Dabi have all been in leadership roles before (I don't remember if Todoroki has ever been a leader, but I don't think he's meant to parallel the 2nd user as much as the other 3 does so it doesn't matter)
 * The 2nd & 3rd users didn't approve of Deku wanting to save a villain so it would be ironic if they themselves were related to villains, esp sympathetic villains that (arguably) need to be saved just as much as Shigaraki does
 * This scene from one of the anime's EDs parallels both this (Dabi/2nd user and Toga/3rd user are the only ones standing while everyone else is sitting down) and this (Dabi and the 2nd user are more distant from each group, facing forwards, unlike Toga and the 3rd user who are closer to everyone else)
 * Yoichi will be the first no pun intended to figure out that combining the OFA and AFO Quirks is the key to defeating his brother, or at least be supportive of that idea (if someone else like Deku is the one to figure it out)
 * Since AFO and Yoichi likely named their own Quirks it's possible they know the original "all for one, one for all" phrase and its definition. While AFO cast aside one half and twisted the meaning of the other, Yoichi will accept the true meanings of both halves of the phrase, and make the connection between the phrase itself and the Quirks they're named after
 * A minor detail that might just be a coincidence: AFO only read the comic up to volume 3, but Yoichi finished the whole series. So... there may be this sense of incompletion (AFO only) vs completion (OFA + AFO) going on here
 * When Yoichi comes to this realization, both his eyes will show and reveal his green/red heterochromia, symbolizing him embracing both "one for all" (green) and "all for one" (red)
 * It's worth noting that in the anime, Yoichi is associated with both green and red
 * AFO and Yoichi know the original "all for one, one for all" phrase and its definition making this a separate theory just in case
 * Yoichi didn't appreciate All Might taking the phrase "one for all" too literally (being the only Symbol of Peace for the whole society) bc AFO similarly took the phrase "all for one" too literally (like, they both rejected a half of the "all for one, one for all" phrase, instead of trying to reclaim them or whatever, idk how to word this better). And he obviously won't approve of Deku trying to do the same either
 * Yoichi did tell Deku "you're not alone", maybe he didn't just mean "us vestiges are here to support you" but also "you don't have to defeat AFO by yourself, you can always let your friends and allies help you" (btw the act of all the OFA vestiges supporting 1 kid is, ironically, a positive example of "all for one". Yoichi knows what he's doing. Now all he needs is for Deku to take the hint already). Considering how physically weak Yoichi used to be, it makes sense for someone like him to understand the importance of teamwork
 * Slightly different version of the above: Yoichi regrets not being able to convince All Might not to be a sole Symbol of Peace (since the vestiges couldn't interact with All Might for whatever reason)
 * Deku and/or Shigaraki will dream in another OFA/AFO user's POV, including each other, at least once (kinda like how Steven from SU sometimes dreamed in Pink Diamond's POV)
 * Shigaraki will get decayed in a dream sequence
 * There will be a character whose Quirk lets them see and possibly interact with ghosts (eg. the OFA vestiges)
 * Shigaraki will tell Aizawa "you really are pretty cool, Eraser Head" in a 3rd arc (it's happened in 2 arcs so far)
 * If Shigaraki is redeemed by that point then it may be genuine this time
 * Air Cannon used to belong to someone important (one of the OFA users, one of Shigaraki's family members, Shigaraki himself if AFO replaced his original Quirk with Decay, or someone else [Deku??? I hope not though])
 * Extremely specific theories on the other OFA users' Quirks (assuming none of them have Air Cannon) that will 100% all be debunked
 * 2nd: fireball generation (like Super Mario), some kind of laser generation (based on how his support items look like guns[?]) or another heat-based Quirk that doesn't overlap with Bakugo's or the Todoroki family's Quirks too much
 * Or a healing Quirk? It would be ironic since the 2nd user looks like/parallels Bakugo who has a more destructive Quirk, and the 2nd user himself seems to have a gruff personality. It would mean his gauntlets/support items were his only weapons as he lacked an offensive Quirk. The healing Quirk will very likely have limitations (eg. Deku can't heal himself, he can only heal a certain number of people per a certain time span, etc.) and probably be activated via touch (like holding hands, a recurring theme in the series)... or healing tears!! Healing tears would be fitting since Deku tends to cry often, and in a way it's similar to how Bakugo's power comes from his sweat, plus if the 2nd user is related to Dabi it would contrast how the latter can't cry anymore (bc his tear ducts are burnt)
 * May or may not [also?] be a resurrection Quirk [instead?] though I think that might be too op even with limitations
 * Or some kind of protection Quirk (like a force field)? (Based on what happened at the end of Chapter 316 Deku would surely need a Quirk like that in order for him and everyone else at the mansion to survive that explosion) A defensive Quirk would also be an ironic opposite of Bakugo's destructive Quirk and the fact that the 2nd user seems to have (or used to have, if the 2nd user has really mellowed out) a more aggressive personality
 * Chapter 317 revealed that the heroes have escaped the explosion but it didn't show how they escaped so this theory is still on the table
 * 3rd: teleportation fueled by drinking blood (their Quirk is one of the Quirks used to make Kurogiri's Warp Gate). Only works with other people's blood, not his own. The version unlocked by Deku will have been modified to be fueled by eating (other people's) hair too, letting him first teleport with a lock of All Might's hair he's eaten forever ago. If not then maybe Deku will ingest blood by accident during a battle idk ❌
 * Alternatively: either the 2nd or 3rd user has some kind of regeneration Quirk. If all of Shigaraki's hands were from OFA predecessors, one of them is the owner of the 15th extra hand
 * 4th: either Radio Waves (since Shigaraki had to use this along with Air Cannon to make it spread farther it's implied that the base Radio Waves Quirk is weak, like how OFA Quirks 4-7 were described to be) or another electric/energy/speed based Quirk (that won't overlap with Kaminari's or anyone else's too much), based on the lightning bolt-shaped mark over his left eye anyways ❌ This one was debunked in the same chapter that showed how versatile Radio Waves can be, what a shame
 * 6th: some kind of smoke Quirk, based on his name (though it's possible it's just a metaphor) ✔️
 * Alternate older theory (before his name reveal): limb regeneration (he's the one who got his limbs blown off from using OFA too hastily. If all of Shigaraki's hands were from OFA predecessors, the 6th user is the owner of the 15th extra hand. Even Kotaro holding up a 6 with his left hand might be hinting AFO lied about one of the 6th user's hands being Kotaro's). It doesn't heal scars though, which is why this user's arms are covered in bandages ❌
 * AFO will get a 2nd monstrous form (the 1st one was the monster arm thing his potato face doesn't count ) like how Overhaul has 2 monster forms, likely during the final fight against Deku and Shigaraki
 * Shigaraki has lost/will lose at least 1 of the Quirk-destroying bullets in his pocket (All Might in Chapter 1 has taught us that you shouldn't be jumping around at high speeds when there's something in your pocket and you're being distracted by Deku)
 * Yoichi's original Quirk didn't just transfer the Quirk itself, it's also supposed to transfer the user's soul so that he can live on within someone else after his death and even possess them while he's still alive (the soul thing isn't a part of the stockpile Quirk, otherwise there would've been a 9th vestige from the stockpile Quirk's owner). Hence his rather ghostly appearance (since a person's physical appearance can often reflect what type of Quirk they have, as seen with Bakugo, Todoroki, Kaminari, Toga, etc.)
 * It's worth noting that the only other ghost-themed character in BNHA is Reiko and her hair happens to be rather similar to Yoichi's (dare I say, more parallels?)
 * AFO's original Quirk was combined with Yoichi's ghost Quirk (like a copy of it extracted from his DNA or something, after he passed down OFA) before being given to Shigaraki, that's how AFO has been able to appear as a vestige to Shigaraki and possess him
 * This is seemingly debunked based on AFO's explanation for the vestiges in Chapter 287. But considering AFO of all people is the one who said it (around Shigaraki and Deku too) there's a good chance it could all be a lie
 * If/when they learn (to some extent, maybe not everything) about OFA, Todoroki, Endeavor, and/or maybe even Dabi will question if Deku is AFO's son everyone in the Todoroki family are conspiracy theorists (as for whether they're actually right, well I sure hope not...)
 * AFO and OFA have this "changing fate" aspect hidden in the Quirks, which is how Deku could change his fate and Shigaraki might change All Might's (hinted by AFO in Chapter 193 saying he'll "rewrite reality" which is basically what changing fate is, not that he necessarily knew of this back then, or even now). Though obviously there are limitations to this
 * AFO will stomp Mineta to death (foreshadowed by that wine metaphor he made in Chapter 255) especially if Mineta's the traitor and he failed AFO in some way. Either that or AFO will turn Mineta into a Nomu stomping to death would be way more satisfying/hilarious to see though (even if AFO of all people is the one doing it...)
 * Or Gigantomachia could do it since he's big, so it would make sense. Or pretty much anyone really
 * There will be an alternate version of Might+U that replaces "not all for one but one for all" with "all for one and one for all" (along with some other changes probably) especially if AFA (AFO+OFA combined Quirk) becomes a thing, or at least Shigaraki gets redeemed
 * Bonus points if the title is Might+Ultra or Might+All or something like that
 * Another reason AFO wants to get OFA (aside from reuniting with his brother or something) is bc AFO's aware of the possibility of AFO and OFA combining into a single Quirk, and plans to steal that from Shigaraki (or maybe even straight up possess him oop he already did lmao ). That's why he gave Shigaraki the original version of AFO instead of the copy, to make sure the original AFO is the one that gets merged with OFA (maybe duplicate Quirks can't merge or something idk)
 * Masaru Bakugo saw the news and that's literally the only reason why he's missing from Chapter 276
 * Alternatively, Masaru was missing from Chapter 276 bc he'll be the one to die (potentially if/when the LoV attacks UA), though this would also mean the rest of the Origin Trio family will survive (which I'm not so sure will be the case... esp Inko, I feel like something bad will happen to her, as narrative consequence for Deku leaving everyone behind)
 * Yoichi is Shigaraki's paternal grandfather/Nana's husband (cursed crack theory I came up with while thinking about why Nana's husband's identity is still unknown and why AFO despises Nana a lot in particular)
 * Yoichi didn't die immediately after passing OFA to the 2nd user. AFO recaptured Yoichi and gave him a copy of the Life Force Quirk
 * At some point Yoichi managed to escape and eventually (obviously a very long time after getting Life Force) he met Nana. They fell in love, got married, had a son together, blah blah you get the idea (they've likely told each other about OFA, but whether or how much they actually did doesn't really matter here)
 * During an earlier/first(?) battle between Nana and AFO, Yoichi sacrificed himself to protect Nana by getting in the way of one of AFO's attacks that was meant for her (if it was Decay it would explain why AFO chose that particular Quirk to give to Tenko, out of pure spite)
 * AFO hates Nana so much bc he believes she took his brother away from him (even though obviously the whole mess is AFO's own fault he's too full of himself to ever blame himself for anything)
 * Actually it would be ironic if all of AFO's remaining family members were "taken away from him" by OFA members: Nana took his brother away from him All Might took his son away from him And Deku (his own son of all people) will take his great nephew away from him (either by saving or killing him... hopefully it's the former)
 * This goes hand in hand with Dad For One. It's been established that Inko and Nana are similar. So perhaps the brothers have a similar "type" the thought of AFO being in love with Inko (and vice versa) makes me physically gag
 * This would also mean Deku and Kotaro are the same generation oh my god
 * Deku and Shigaraki would be... first cousins once removed?? idk
 * In a way both Inko x AFO ew and Nana x Yoichi would parallel Ochaco x Deku, especially since Ochaco, Nana and Inko all have similar Quirks oh no
 * Another parallel/contrast: while Nana was a pro hero and AFO is a villain, both Yoichi and Inko are civilians
 * He uh probably had some sort of alias/fake name?? (Whether it was Tomura or Izuku or something else)
 * Nana described meeting the OFA vestiges as "romantic" bc one of them is literally her husband
 * Speaking of vestiges, the one she met shortly after getting OFA isn't Yoichi bc he hasn't died yet at that time. It could be literally any of the other users except 6th (since Nana didn't recognize the man in her dream)
 * The reason why AFO didn't mind Kotaro and Hana dying, despite them being blood related to his brother, is bc they both looked so much more like Nana and nothing like Yoichi. The only reason why Tenko is even alive now and not a Nomu or something is bc he resembled Yoichi after his hair turned white (and possibly getting the same scars)
 * This could also mean the last thing Kotaro saw before getting killed was a distorted image of his own father, which would make his death even more karmic/ironic but also more disturbing (if he could've even remembered his dad's face, depending on exactly when Yoichi died). Or maybe not since Tenko's hair hadn't fully turned white at that point idk (or Kotaro saw a distorted mix of both his parents? Since Tenko also has Nana's mole after all)
 * Speaking of how Shigaraki and Yoichi resemble each other so much. It's one thing for 2 characters to look similar as a parallel/coincidence. But when Shigaraki looks more like Yoichi than literally every known member of his family that's when things start getting suspicious if we go purely by character design Grandpa For All is much more convincing than Dad For One
 * This doesn't necessarily count as evidence but: in Chapter 287 Shigaraki's "decay" in the OFA-scape was pushed back when Yoichi showed up. AFO comments that Shigaraki's hatred is "still not enough". The only Shimura family member that Shigaraki (presumably) knows nothing about is his paternal grandfather, therefore Shigaraki would feel no hatred towards him 🤔 (alternatively maybe he did know about his paternal grandpa, but Kotaro didn't hate him so Shigaraki never did either. Though Shigaraki feeling nothing towards his grandpa would parallel how Deku [presumably] feels nothing towards Hisashi)
 * Nana and AFO both learned the 'smile' gesture from Yoichi (doesn't necessarily require Grandpa For All to be true)
 * blah blah something something more Deku and Shigaraki parallels I guess
 * Bonus points if this is true along with Momo = Shigaraki's younger sister... at least it would explain why Deku, Momo and Shigaraki all have good analytical skills?? (it would still be too much though)
 * Ok I'll admit I like this theory a little more than DFO bc Yoichi would be such a sweet grandpa to Shigaraki (unlike AFO who would obviously be a horrible dad to Deku)... I still don't want this + DFO to be canon though bc it would make the family relationships SO complicated
 * If All For All (AFO+OFA) actually happens, Deku's hair will turn white, and he and Shigaraki will both get green/red heterochromia (only if Yoichi has heterochromia too), so that Deku's appearance matches AFO and Shigaraki's matches Yoichi this has absolutely nothing to do with Dad For One/Grandpa For All but their eyes will both match Yoichi's to symbolize how they're on the good side/against AFO

(I say Todoroki is more likely bc I can't imagine Endeavor and Dabi ever doing a combo attack together, even if both are fully redeemed I think Endeavor will be dead by the time Dabi is fully redeemed anyways... Then again Deku used to be Bakugo's victim and Dabi used to be Endeavor's victim so there's that parallel I guess)
 * (idk if this will ever be confirmed or debunked but) The LoV members are loosely based on the characters from Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass:
 * Toga - Alice/March Hare
 * Shigaraki - White Rabbit
 * Dabi - Cheshire Cat
 * AFO - King/Queen of Hearts / Red King/Queen
 * Yoichi (not actually a LoV member but) - White King/Queen
 * Mr. Compress - Mad Hatter
 * Twice - Tweedle Dee/Tweedle Dum
 * Spinner - Bill the Lizard
 * Kurogiri - The Doorknob (bc his Quirk is literally Warp Gate)
 * Giran - The Caterpillar bc they're both high
 * Ujiko - Humpty Dumpty Eggman
 * Possible reason why AFO can interact with Shigaraki as a vestige even though he's still alive, when All Might seemingly can't do the same:
 * AFO has a full copy of his Quirk, while All Might originally only had OFA's embers and is now Quirkless
 * All Might can interact with Deku as a vestige without dying, it's just that he's never attempted to do so
 * AFO happens to have another Quirk that lets him do that
 * (Only if AFO's explanation for vestiges is true) AFO actually had a Quirk while All Might was Quirkless, so the latter's vestige has less "presence" (though I actually think AFO's vestige explanation is complete bull)
 * Dabi will say "I'm not as caring as [insert any Todoroki family member (preferably Natsuo) except Endeavor here]" at some point
 * Yoichi's vestige will try to communicate with Shigaraki (regardless of whether Grandpa For All is true or not)
 * Eri has things in common with not just Shigaraki (light blue/white hair and red eyes, along with a bunch of other stuff) but also Toga (demonized by parent[s] for their Quirk). Kota Izumi shares similarities with Dabi (spiky black hair, feel like they've been abandoned by pro hero parent[s], opposite elemental Quirks) and Twice (parents killed by a villain). There will be a 3rd child that is similar to Spinner and Mr. Compress (victim of mutant Quirk discrimination + poverty?)
 * Every volume that is a multiple of 9 will have a bird-themed character on its cover (so far Volume 9 has Tokoyami + Dark Shadow, Volume 18 has Overhaul with his plague mask, and Volume 27 has Hawks)
 * There will be a chapter titled "One [Good Day? Or something along the lines of that] Is All It Takes" as a reversed version of "All It Takes Is One Bad Day", also to parallel One For All/All For One
 * Nao Shimura and her parents are related to the Shimano family
 * Nao's eyes look similar to Katsuma's and Mahoro's
 * Nao's name meaning "repair" could be hinting at her having some type of Cell Activation Quirk (repairing cells)
 * Chizuo's name containing "haven/harbor" may be a hint at some of his family members living in an island with a harbor
 * Katsuma and Mahoro's names both have 真 ("ma") which is the same as the one in Mako's name
 * Assuming Katsuma and Mahoro's dad is Nao's younger brother (in which case Katsuma & Mahoro would be Shigaraki's cousins):
 * Nao - got killed, Mr. Shimano - got his Quirk stolen
 * Mahoro - almost got killed, Katsuma - almost got his Quirk stolen (managed to be the luckiest Shimano siblings thanks to Deku & Bakugo)
 * Hana - got killed, Tenko - got his original Quirk stolen (and replaced with Decay)?
 * Ok so Nao's hair and eyes turned out to be darker than the Shimanos' but technically it isn't debunked yet-
 * Katsuma accidentally killed his mom with his Cell Activation, by activating some kind of harmful cells like cancer/tumor or bacteria (parallels with Shigaraki and Eri). The grown-ups never told the Shimano siblings what really happened ofc, though iirc at least Mahoro seems to be aware that Katsuma's Quirk is "dangerous"
 * Geten always wears a coat bc he isn't completely resistant to the cold (opposite of Dabi basically. Geten might be covered in frostbite scars for all we know)
 * Endeavor and Hawks will become teachers at UA (possibly foreshadowed by them being included in Chapter 279's color spread along with all the other UA characters [it's unfortunate that Mirko isn't there...])
 * This has become highly unlikely now that both Endeavor's and Hawks' reputations are ruined, especially/or at least just Endeavor (though maybe UA won't care since their own reputation would be in shambles at that point lmao)
 * Even more unlikely now that the foreshadowing thing is basically disproven by Midnight's death
 * Mirko will become a teacher at UA no evidence this is just what I actually want
 * Todoroki or Endeavor and (redeemed?) Dabi will combo attack Geten, based on the parallels between this and this (orange + blue) and between Geten and Nine
 * Dabi never got any support items that can cool down his body (even though Giran and/or Detnerat could've provided them) bc he himself refused them, for whatever reason
 * Kirishima's villain counterpart is Kurogiri (assuming the rest of my hero/villain counterpart theories are true)
 * Both Kirishima and Kurogiri are presented as the 7th member of the "main 7" on the hero and villain sides respectively. If the rest of the main 6 (Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Ochaco, Ida, Tsuyu vs Shigaraki, Toga, Dabi, Compress, Twice, Spinner respectively) are hero/villain counterparts against each other then that leaves Kirishima vs Kurogiri
 * Kirishima and Shirakumo/Kurogiri are based on opposing elements: earth (Hardening) and air (Cloud/"misty" Warp Gate)
 * Kirishima and Shirakumo also have opposite hair/eye colors (red and light blue respectively)
 * Kirishima and Shirakumo have similar personalities
 * Gigantomachia is unlikely to be Kirishima's villain counterpart bc 1. he's the type of villain that can't be fought by a single opponent (at least in Shigaraki's case Deku with 100% OFA could likely beat him by himself) 2. the Kirishima vs Giganto plotline seems to be finished as of Chapter 280 and 3. he has no personality (literally just a walking plot device)
 * Alternatively, Shinso's villain counterpart is Kurogiri
 * Blah blah something something Shinso's connection with Aizawa (obviously one of Shirakumo's friends)
 * tbh I just came up with this theory after seeing Shinso's placement here in the front row along with the main 6 (excluding Mineta aka traitor ) though that could just be bc of his importance in the Joint Training Arc
 * Nana's hero name was "Shimura"
 * Yoichi will be one of the first and possibly only people on the "hero side" to really understand Shigaraki's conviction and empathize with him, foreshadowed by Shigaraki looking a lot like Yoichi when calling out the hero system's flaws in Chapter 281 (though obviously, unlike Shigaraki he'd also understand that relentlessly destroying everything isn't the solution). This will have something to do with Yoichi knowing the true meaning of "all for one and one for all" (again, a balance between individualism and collectivism, something the system desperately needs in order to be fixed). He may even think the current generation is misusing the labels "hero" and "villain" (just like how his brother has been misusing "all for one"...)
 * Shigaraki has said "heroes hurt their own families just to help complete strangers". Which is exactly what AFO did in Chapter 193
 * Also worth noting that unlike the other OFA predecessors, Yoichi wasn't a "hero" clad in a costume, he was a civilian. So his mindset may be different from the rest
 * Not to mention Yoichi actually approves of Deku wanting to save Shigaraki
 * "Midoriya" is Inko's family name. Hisashi's family name is 出 (whichever reading it uses)


 * Possible Little Red Riding Hood metaphor:
 * Shigaraki - Red Riding Hood (the victim in a red cape)
 * AFO - Big Bad Wolf (the stranger that Shigaraki shouldn't have talked to)
 * Nana - The Grandmother duh
 * If Grandpa For All is true then Yoichi and Nana could both fit the role of the Sickly Grandmother Yoichi is the sickly part and Nana is the grandmother part
 * Deku and/or All Might - The Woodcutter (potentially the ones to save Shigaraki; also both "Deku" and "Yagi" are wood/tree themed names)
 * Shigaraki growing out his hair has something to do with him thinking Aizawa is "cool" (their hairstyles do look similar now) I still have doubts about Shigaraki's admiration towards Aizawa not being sarcastic but oh well
 * Possible reason why there were no heroes around to save Tenko:
 * (If there's a connection between AFO and the HPSC) AFO ordered the HPSC to order the heroes that were supposed to patrol the area Tenko was in to leave said area
 * There was a big mission (likely to deal with a big problem orchestrated by AFO himself) that all the heroes in that area were assigned to. Hinted at by Chapter 282 (may overlap with the above bullet point)
 * AFO just killed all the heroes in that area (probably the simplest but also most underwhelming answer)


 * AFO's birthday is April 1 ( All Fo[u]r One) and Yoichi's is January 4 (One Fo[u]r All ) AFO's birthday is on April Fools' Day bc he's a joke
 * There will be a chapter titled after an anime soundtrack (You Say/Jet Set Run, Might[+U], etc.)
 * AFO and Yoichi used to wear the same kind of red shoes as Deku and Shigaraki respectively when they were younger this also has absolutely nothing to do with Dad For One/Grandpa For All
 * Also AFO used to tie his tie like Deku but eventually just stopped wearing a tie altogether so he never learned how to tie a tie for 100+ years
 * Gigantomachia vs Re-Destro. It will happen (I'm intentionally being vague here)
 * If Present Mic loses his Voice Quirk he'll become completely mute (apparently implied in Vigilantes but not confirmed). This will keep him from (accidentally) telling Aizawa about what Ujiko told him
 * Dabi is surprisingly good at cooking (to balance things out since Fuyumi is good at cooking while Shoto and Natsuo aren't)
 * Shigaraki will hunt down Mirko and Present Mic to try to steal their Quirks/kill them, knowing they're the ones responsible for him awakening early (since his face went from neutral to smiling in his capsule he was conscious before the capsule got destroyed) Mirko and Present Mic are literally my top 2 candidates for losing their Quirks how did I not make this connection earlier???
 * Shigaraki has Search so he can use it to locate them
 * Bonus points if he uses their own Quirks against them. Ironically Mirko's and Present Mic's Quirks are incompatible (since rabbit ears are sensitive to loud sounds) but idk if this will actually be a problem, either way Shigaraki won't care
 * Maybe Shigaraki will get angry bc he'll believe if it wasn't for his "weakness" from waking up at 75% AFO wouldn't have tried to possess (or "help" as AFO himself puts it) him, which will drive him to hunt down Mirko & Present Mic out of sheer spite
 * Like how Todoroki helped Endeavor in the PL War Arc, Ochaco and Tsuyu will help Ryukyu and Ida will help Manual (their own mentors)
 * Gigantomachia's eyes are his weak points, that's why he covered them during his rampage
 * UA's PE uniform and Twice's villain costume were designed by the same person (see the way they both have 2 English letters placed vertically)
 * Toga will call Bakugo "Kacchan" (like how she called Tsuyu by her first name despite not being her friend)
 * There will be an imagery of the OFA vestiges' (disembodied bc they're ghosts) hands grabbing onto Shigaraki or Deku (or AFO? Or the 2nd OFA user if he tries to possess Deku and the others try to stop him), hinting at all of Shigaraki's hands being from OFA's predecessors
 * There was a message that Yoichi tried to pass down along with the Quirk (the true meaning of "all for one and one for all", OFA is intended to defeat AFO the person not AFO the Quirk, etc.) but 1. just like a game of telephone, the message was changed over generations or 2. one of the users intentionally sabotaged it by telling their successor the wrong message for whatever reason. However now that Yoichi can directly communicate with Deku, he'll be able to set right what once went wrong
 * Crimson Riot dyed his hair crimson bc he idolized the 2nd OFA user (assuming they had red/crimson hair). This would be ironic if the 2nd user's personality was similar to Bakugo/Endeavor and prioritized being powerful/having a strong Quirk which goes against Crimson Riot's beliefs (one's willpower is more important than their Quirk), without Crimson Riot's knowledge obviously
 * Oh hey, Chapter 310 revealed that the 2nd user is indeed similar to Bakugo & Endeavor...
 * At least 1 of the OFA vestiges will try to hold back Deku from going all out (could happen in the PL War Arc, but doesn't necessarily have to)
 * Actually what if the OFA vestiges have been subtly holding back Deku just enough to keep his arms from being irreparably destroyed, but this is also what has been keeping Shigaraki from dying in Deku's hands (maybe even the OFA vestiges care more about Deku's safety than taking AFO down, and besides Shigaraki =/= AFO anyways)
 * The purple haired kid and the long fingers kid from Chapter 1 will be relevant again at some point (that's why they reappeared in Chapter 285)
 * The OFA vestiges (or at least Nana but hopefully all of them will be involved, especially Yoichi bc again I'm biased ) will try to free Shigaraki from AFO's control
 * AFO tries to possess Shigaraki earlier -> Shigaraki decays AFO -> later AFO successfully possesses Shigaraki Nana tries to save Shigaraki from AFO earlier -> Shigaraki decays Nana -> later Nana successfully saves Shigaraki from AFO? (And this time she brings along some friends with her)
 * Y'know how Deku trying to save Bakugo during the Sludge Villain Incident was followed by All Might saving Bakugo. It would be neat if Deku trying to save Shigaraki from AFO in Chapter 287 is followed by Nana and Yoichi (and I'm hoping users 2-6) actually saving Shigaraki
 * Just like how Deku saying "you looked like you needed saving" inspired All Might to save Bakugo, him saying/thinking that same line in Chapter 295 may inspire Nana & co. to save Shigaraki
 * Bonus points if we get a parallel to this scene with AFO as the Sludge Villain it would be SO satisfying please-
 * What if Shigaraki opens the AFO/OFA-scape's vault door from the outside (probably in a desperate attempt to escape AFO's control), then the OFA users will have no choice but to save Shigaraki
 * Hori keeps zooming into that door... it's gonna open eventually isn't it c'mon Shigaraki you can do it
 * Hori has been quick to reveal the remaining OFA users' Quirks (ever since Deku unlocked Float), what if this is bc he wants to show the OFA users fight AFO without jumping through hoops to not spoil their Quirks before Deku unlocks them 🤔👀
 * Gigantomachia can smell souls (that's how he smelled both Shigaraki and AFO in Chapter 286, the vestiges are souls and AFO is remotely projecting his all the way from Tartarus)
 * "Takeo" is part of Saito's name (which one is the first/last name doesn't matter) I highly doubt Toga asked the old lady about her husband's name


 * Toga can use anyone's Quirk, not just those that she loves (like I want Toga to use Bakugo's Quirk [against himself] but I don't want her to fall in love with him y'know?)
 * Hawks dropped something in Chapter 266 (either his recorder or a small, empty vial)
 * If Twice is really alive, he could've picked up whatever Hawks dropped before escaping the mansion (if it's the recorder it would explain why Hawks never brought it up during the press conference. I wonder if the recorder picked up Dabi saying he doesn't care about the LoV...)
 * Toga will say something along the lines of "I won't forgive" like both Shigaraki and Dabi (he actually said "I couldn't let that stand" but whatever) did
 * Eri didn't restore Mirio's Quirk completely (in other words it's "under 100%" like Shigaraki's AFO) bc she doesn't fully have a handle on her Quirk yet
 * Todoroki will go Plus Ultra and generate ice strong enough to overpower Dabi's flames (likely melting into water and extinguishing the flames hopefully not impaling Dabi like it did Shigaraki Dabi: oh look at that, I've been impaled *dies* )
 * At some point Deku will (temporarily) change his hero name to "One For All" (likely after OFA is revealed to the public?)
 * AFO's explanation for vestiges is (at least partially) a lie, or at least wrong (yeah I'll write this down as a separate theory why not)
 * C'mon, it's AFO of all people who said it, not only that but around both Shigaraki and Deku too. Of course there's a good chance of it not being completely true
 * If Shigaraki's Decay Quirk was given to him by AFO then it's the perfect kind of lie to keep Shigaraki from ever suspecting that's the case, bc Decay's original owner will never show up in Shigaraki's dreams
 * If AFO is right about all Quirks having vestiges then 1. Why have we only seen OFA & AFO's vestiges? (It's hard to believe all of Shigaraki's new Quirks are from his family members [who don't even act like vestiges normally do so it's more likely they're just dream figures]) 2. Why haven't any of them tried to take control of AFO or Shigaraki (other than AFO's own vestige)?
 * Chapter 213 (where Deku talks to Banjo for the first time) is titled "Realm of Souls" and also heavily implies the predecessors are more than just vestiges, like Deku literally goes "I can see him so clearly, he's definitely more than just some vestige" (I only use the term 'vestiges' for convenience's sake). Why would Hori backtrack on that only to confirm "oh they really are just vestiges after all"?
 * This is indeed Nana's OFA vestige (read: soul/spirit). That's why she looks more 'solid' than the rest (apart from Shigaraki himself). We all know there's some kind of connection between OFA and AFO so it makes sense for her to be able to visit Shigaraki through that connection
 * When AFO brings up Nana being Shigaraki's grandmother in Chapter 287 she doesn't look surprised at all. Nana only starts speaking as if she only just found out Shigaraki being her grandson after AFO finished explaining about vestiges. Almost as if she (and Yoichi) are just playing along, likely bc they know Shigaraki won't believe them even if they try to correct AFO. It's also possible the OFA users have their own plan up their sleeve that requires them to play along (at least in front of AFO)
 * Nana in Shigaraki's dream can't be a vestige from Shigaraki having Float bc Shigaraki most likely doesn't have Float. If Shigaraki had Float he would've used it already instead of jumping around and slamming himself into the ground
 * Slight correction: Chapter 304 confirms/implies that not even the OFA vestiges are fully aware of the nature of their own Quirk. The "there's a connection between AFO & OFA"/"Nana is pretending she isn't the same Nana that visited Shigaraki" parts still stand though
 * Note: even if AFO was indeed lying about vestiges I do think it's still true that Shinomori died early and All Might survived longer bc the latter was Quirkless. Bc like, they're not mutually exclusive at all, and the OFA users didn't even really need AFO's words to confirm All Might's speculation (so I don't understand why Yoichi is acting like they did)
 * This theory is a bit shakier as of Chapter 333, but it's worth noting that it seems like "vestige"!Star is only following the real Star's command and the silhouettes are acting purely by instinct (trying to survive by fighting back) and neither of them are actually sentient, so they may not be "true" vestiges but rather just visual representation of AFO's Quirks (if they were really sentient like the OFA vestiges wouldn't they be ganging up against AFO instead?)
 * Chapter 334 showed that vestige!Star is indeed sentient, but that could be bc 1. Star died recently and 2. assuming Yoichi's original Quirk indeed had a "transfer soul" aspect and AFO had merged his Quirk with a copy of Yoichi's, AFO's Quirk could've gained the ability to extract someone's soul along with their Quirk (as long as they're dead, so Ragdoll's soul likely isn't present for example) and the silhouettes are Quirks that AFO got before he merged his Quirk with a copy of Yoichi's


 * Toga will say something about Bakugo's hero name "Dynamight" being similar to All Might (like "oh u wanna be like All Might? I wanna be like Deku/Ochaco/Stain, we're the same!!" something along the lines of that, bonus points if she brings up Bakugo being the one to "end" All Might. And Bakugo won't even be able to respond to whatever she says to him bc of his injuries 😬)


 * Mr. Compress needs both arms (or at least his left arm) to Compress himself whole
 * Someone I'm thinking Mr. Compress but uh. Could be anyone will say "who protects the heroes villains when they need protecting?"
 * At some point Deku will be depicted with a more "unique" dreamscape (something like this except with things related to Deku in some way)
 * Dabi was groomed to be a villain by someone(s?), possibly the same person/people who saved him from the forest fire (a more general version of the now debunked "Dabi was saved/groomed by Takami the thief" theory). I'm leaning towards Ujiko or at least someone who has a connection with AFO, maybe even AFO himself?
 * Shigaraki, Toga and Dabi having the same/similar creepy smiles see unholy trinity below is supposed to be a hint that all 3 were groomed to be villains by AFO himself and/or someone that works under him, so at some point AFO will also be shown with a similar creepy smile (both his mouth and eyes)
 * Tomie Takami is related to Mera (I originally came up with this theory bc they give off similar vibes and have similar hairstyles but then I found out Mera's last name has 目 [eye] and Tomie has some kind of eyeball Quirk and both their first names have the same kanji 見-)
 * Tomie denied having other family members but that could've been bc she and Mera cut ties with each other for whatever reason. Or she believes he's dead (especially if he actually has a fake-death Quirk) or just straight up doesn't know she has a brother/cousin/whatever
 * The HPSC employees mentioning Tomie's "entire family" might be implying that they already knew about Tomie and Hawks having another family member
 * The HPSC employees saying they'll support Hawks and Tomie's family could've included offering Mera a job (if he wasn't already working at the HPSC back then)
 * Tomie's "Ukai" surname contains 羽 (feather) so it's most likely not her original maiden name, though even if it is that doesn't mean they can't be related but I'm betting on Tomie and Mera being siblings (which would mean Hawks has an uncle) so...
 * Dabi got Tomie's address from someone at the HPSC
 * If Mera is actually related to Tomie it might've actually been him. He seems to be a low-rank employee so it makes sense for him to not be able to directly tell Dabi about Hawks' identity (hence Dabi having to get more info from Tomie), but the HPSC allowed Mera to know Tomie's address bc they're family. Or someone at the HPSC had some kind of gag order Quirk that prevented employees from speaking about Hawks' identity (like what Pink Diamond did to Pearl in SU). Or Mera did tell Dabi about Hawks but Dabi wanted to make extra sure the info is correct
 * idk about exact motivation. At best Mera was sick of his nephew(?) being puppeteered by the HPSC and wanted them to be forced to let go of Hawks not expecting Dabi to literally burn Hawks alive . At worst he's a bad guy that hates Hawks and/or Tomie and possibly asked Dabi to literally burn Hawks alive . But he does have like 2 different kanjis in his name that mean "good" so that may be worth noting ig
 * As for how they were even able to communicate in the first place... if there's indeed a connection between the HPSC and AFO (and by extension Ujiko, connected to the LoV) that could have something to do with it
 * Toya fell in the river at the mountain which carried him away (how he managed to survive the fire + why no one could find him)
 * There was a 3rd person eavesdropping the Todorokis along with Best Jeanist and Hawks (personally hoping it's Toga-in-disguise but it could be anyone who knows)
 * Hawks will let the Todorokis (or at least Endeavor) know about Dabi's idolization of Stain (and/or whatever else Dabi told him in the black speech bubble that the Todorokis don't know already)
 * The people nowadays in BNHA don't know about the "all for one, one for all" phrase bc AFO banned [The Three Musketeers/its BNHA equivalent/whichever piece of media AFO and Yoichi originally learned the phrase from] back when he ruled over Japan (he's just petty like that), and the ban ended up sticking even after his fall
 * Whenever Deku's 'OFA lightning' color changes from green to blue (like near the end of the Shie Hassaikai Arc or Heroes Rising), that's the 2nd user subtly asserting some kind of control/influence over him
 * And once Deku unlocks the 2nd user's Quirk, the latter will be able to fully control the former
 * Even OFA controlling Deku during his match against Shinso at the U.A. Sports Festival might've been the 2nd user's doing (though there was no blue lightning back then...)
 * Based on prior instances of blue lightning being caused by 100% OFA, Deku unlocking OFA's full power = the 2nd user being able to take control of him...
 * Since the 2nd user doesn't approve of Deku wanting to save Shigaraki, he might possess Deku in order to force him to kill Shigaraki/other villains (though he'll likely fail ofc)
 * This door in the OFA-scape leads to the AFO-scape where Shigaraki & AFO are (the door doesn't have a handle so if it isn't locked the OFA users may be able to push it open, but not pull it back closed. Or Shigaraki/AFO can do the unlock/open/closing instead ig, since the door resembles the vault door that Yoichi was locked in)
 * AFO wil try to contact the traitor, or maybe vice versa if it's possible (now that he's out of prison, and the traitor presumably has a direct connection with AFO)
 * The last time AFO was seen in Chapter 298 he was on a plane, meaning he might as well as have left the country already (and returned in Chapter 329?) or at least he will when he needs/wants to
 * This would also mean AFO can sabotage the foreign heroes coming to help Japan
 * AFO apparently has underworld connections to multiple countries so it would make sense for him to go overseas
 * Best Jeanist's neck is disfigured (not just very long)/covered in scars/etc. (maybe that's why he hides his neck all the time)
 * The UA dropout mentioned by Nejire in Chapter 123 will be relevant at some point I hope it's Mr. Compress
 * Tamaki will use his "imagine people as potatoes" tactic on AFO, and this time it will work I don't even need to explain why it will
 * The "Final Act" (in Chapter 306's title) is referring to the final arc of the Rise of Villains Saga and possibly even the final arc of the part 1/"My Hero Academia" part of the series (if we do get a part 2 without the "Academia")
 * Basically the finale of the Rise of Villains Saga will be a 2-parter (PL War Arc/"Final Act" Arc) just like the finale of the UA Beginnings Saga (Forest Training Camp Arc/Hideout Raid Arc)
 * The 2nd and/or 3rd OFA user is alive (with a copy of the Life Force Quirk, assuming they are/were on AFO's side)
 * Recycled from the debunked "4th user is alive" theory: idk how else Nana got to interact with a vestige and not All Might other than "an alive OFA predecessor deliberately projected their soul/consciousness AFO-style to Nana (presumably to test such an ability?) and didn't do the same to All Might"
 * I'm leaning more towards the 3rd user, since the 2nd user has his own issues going on (caring more about winning and whatnot) and seems to genuinely see AFO as an enemy. Esp if the 3rd user is related to Toga, him being a "traitor" would parallel how Toga often infiltrated the heroes using her Quirk
 * Though if it's really the 2nd user, maybe he's the one who's been causing the explosions (Lady Nagant when Deku was holding her hand, the mansion when Deku was inside) by forcibly activating his Quirk whenever needed through Deku
 * Alternatively AFO himself was the one who communicated with Nana in her dream, through the AFO-OFA connection (Nana didn't recognize him bc he was shrouded in black smoke. Which also happens to be how he looks like as a vestige)
 * AFO presumably wanted to take OFA after it's reached/passed its Quirk Singularity so he was checking to see if that's happened yet, hence "it's not time yet"
 * If Nana later realized that was AFO (by remembering his voice or something), it would explain how she knew she can communicate with Shigaraki in his dream (assuming that really was Nana's vestige)
 * If the 2nd and/or 3rd OFA users turn out to be antagonistic, they'll still be redeemed
 * All Might's fully-formed vestige will be in his Muscle Form, or switch between that and his True (skinny) Form (based on how Horikoshi said in this interview that we might see the Muscle Form more often from here on out)
 * The outside of the OFA-scape's vault door on the AFO side will be depicted as being similar to either 1. just the normal outside of vault door/whatever building AFO used to live in, 2. the old LoV hideout (if this is indeed a parallel of this), 3. Tenko's old home or 4. his old room when AFO first took him in
 * AFO intentionally didn't set Ujiko free (something to do with whatever weird plan AFO has up his sleeve?? I doubt he genuinely abandoned Ujiko even though that would be kinda funny bc he can still be useful as long as he gets access to a new lab)
 * Yoichi can disable the OFA Quirk entirely (similar to how the 2nd & 3rd users can keep Deku from unlocking its full power). AFO may or may not be able to do the same with Shigaraki's AFO Quirk, though maybe not since AFO is still alive and Yoichi isn't (so AFO's vestige is "weaker")
 * AFO's first name is either Ramuto or Tomura
 * (The Ramuto theory was originally based on another theory about how the 1st OFA user's name is Tomura [and Tenko is renamed after the 1st user] so AFO's name could be a reversed version of that, like OFA is a reverse of AFO. Eventually the 1st user's name turned out to be Not Tomura, but AFO's name being Ramuto on its own hasn't been debunked yet so yeah)
 * Ok so there's a possibility that AFO renamed Tenko "Tomura" after himself (what with planning to possess him and all). But I think it would be more interesting if AFO's name is a reverse of Tomura (rather than them having the exact same name)? Like maybe AFO wanted Tomura to be someone that AFO himself could never be, or something idk. It could also foreshadow how Tomura will ultimately oppose AFO
 * If the "AFO has 'none' somewhere in his name" theory is also true, the 'mu' in his name could be 無 which means 'nothing/none'
 * If an OFA vestige *cough2ndusercough* possesses Deku (like really possess him, not just moving his finger), cracks will form on Deku's body (like how cracks formed on Shigaraki's body whenever AFO tried to possess him) the same way red lines form whenever he uses Full Cowl, X on his face (which happens to look somewhat similar to the 2nd user's scar which is... worrying) and all
 * If an OFA vestige *cough2ndusercough* possesses Deku, Bakugo and Shigaraki will be the ones to recognize that he's being possessed (since they themselves have been possessed by the Sludge Villain and AFO respectively before). Possibly Shinso too since he has a Brainwashing Quirk. And/or maybe All Might since he was present at the Sludge Villain Incident (I don't remember if he ever found out about the vestiges moving Deku's finger during the Sports Festival but I think he did?)
 * AFO took Overhaul's Quirk already
 * The thing about AFO supposedly having no hatred. Some ideas:
 * They need to hate Yoichi specifically to be able to take OFA. Since AFO "cares" about Yoichi (like how pre-redemption Endeavor "cared" about Toya) he needed someone (Shigaraki) who's a stranger to Yoichi or "basically a stranger" if Grandpa For All is true that can actually hate him (I feel like this one may be too simple/easy of an answer though)
 * The main difference between AFO and Shigaraki is that Shigaraki hates himself (since he felt guilty about killing his family) and AFO doesn't bc he's so full of himself . It's that self-hatred that's necessary to be able to take OFA
 * AFO doesn't have any hatred bc he basically sees everything as this fun entertainment (like a game or a show), and the people around him as toys, etc. Hinted at by him saying things like "thank you truly, for this amusing farce" (to Nana) or "because it's my turn now, and my turn will never end"
 * The OFA users', esp Yoichi's hatred of AFO is just that much greater than however much hatred AFO and Shigaraki have, which is also why Yoichi was able to push back Shigaraki's "decay" in the Quirk-scape (I think this answer's also too simple/easy)
 * Crack theory: AFO isn't a real human, he's an artificially created human (likely by Yoichi's parent[s] using their Quirk, though Ujiko could've been involved?), originally tasked with protecting Yoichi (like how Kurogiri is tasked with protecting Shigaraki). So he's actually Yoichi's younger brother, but he was designed to serve as Yoichi's "older brother". AFO was "programmed" to smile all the time so that he would come off as friendly and reassure Yoichi whenever he's scared/upset (just like All Might's smile) though it's clearly only doing the opposite now . He's still 'human' in all physical aspects, but emotionally he's empty inside (at least partially) bc he's an artificial human, which is also why his smile looks so uncanny. It's also how he's got such a powerful Quirk in an era where Quirks were much weaker than now, bc his Quirk is artificial too. And as an artificial human AFO sees all natural-born/"real" humans as being inferior to him (like how some robots at UA view humans). He somehow went rogue(?) one day which led to him becoming a villain, but he's still stuck in the "protect Yoichi" programming which is why he keeps obsessively going after OFA. AFO could even be an 'intelligent Nomu' (if Ujiko was involved in his creation) like Kurogiri but much more advanced and actually sentient/independent. And ofc Yoichi has no idea about this, nor do anyone else other than AFO himself (...probably) and everyone involved in his creation. Oh and ig this would also make AFO kinda parallel the Todoroki siblings yikes bc they were "created" (by Endeavor) for a specific purpose too Is this too messed up for BNHA? Eh probably not
 * Slightly different version of the above: AFO used to be a normal(?) kid that died at some point and was successfully resurrected (by his parent[s] and/or Ujiko), but he came back... wrong
 * Deku is unable to use a Quirk when its owner is absent from the OFA-scape
 * More likely as of Chapter 333
 * More specific prediction: if/when Shigaraki opens the AFO/OFA-scape door (as a desperate call for help/last resort), and any of OFA vestiges leave the OFA-scape to save Shigaraki from AFO's vestige, Deku won't be able to use the Quirks of whichever vestige has left (now I'm not sure if he won't be able to use base OFA if Yoichi leaves, though I'm guessing he'd still be able to use it since base OFA's power is from the stockpile Quirk which wasn't originally owned by Yoichi, but who knows)
 * If any of the Mera theories I've written are true (Mera has a fake-death Quirk, Mera is related to Tomie ), Lady Nagant knew about it
 * Alternatively, Lady Nagant doesn't know about whatever's up with Mera bc either 1. he was hired by the HPSC at some point (possibly around the same time Hawks was recruited, esp if they're related) after Lady Nagant was sent to Tartarus, or 2. regardless of when he (and Hawks for that matter) was hired, the HPSC made sure to keep Mera's secret under wraps to the point not even Nagant was allowed to know
 * The previous #7 hero (back when All Might was #1) was the a hero that got killed by Lady Nagant (technically the former HPSC president was "the" hero that Lady Nagant killed, but she's killed actual pro heroes under the HPSC's command before)
 * Alternatively, Lady Nagant herself was the previous #7 hero
 * If all the HPSC buildup (from HPSC's destruction, to Hawks' backstory, to Lady Nagant) is leading up to what I think is leading up to (Mera's fake-death Quirk -> Twice is alive reveal), then Twice, uh, will show up (in the "Villain Hunt Arc" I guess)
 * Esp since Lady Nagant killing the terrorists (with one even going "we haven't done anything yet") in Chapter 314 seems to be pretty clearly alluding to what happened between Hawks and Twice. It would be interesting if instead of walking down the same path as Lady Nagant, Hawks managed to do something different
 * Lady Nagant wondering how Hawks still has the spark in his eyes despite the HPSC making him do bad deeds might be hinting that maybe, just maybe, Hawks really did manage to go down a different path (ofc he did say Endeavor's support is the reason he's still optimistic, but Nagant's assumption that the HPSC made Hawks kill people may be the narrative implying there's something else too)
 * Lady Nagant will kill Overhaul at some point (maybe if/when she finds out about what he did to Eri?)
 * If Bakugo's villain counterpart isn't Toga absolute worst case scenario other possible candidates (at least ones I can tolerate) are:
 * The 2nd OFA user, via possessing Deku - self-explanatory, the 2nd user is similar to Bakugo and is Not trustworthy. It would ironically contrast how Deku's villain counterpart is an AFO user
 * Yeah that's it lol
 * AFO didn't even need Lady Nagant to capture Deku, he just needed her to distract him (that's why he didn't tell her about Deku having "multiple Quirks")
 * AFO used a Quirk similar to Chitose's Landmine to make Lady Nagant explode (by touching her head when giving her Air Walk and later detonating at AFO's will, though the explosion is much bigger than Chitose's Quirk. Or maybe he bestowed explosive properties on the Air Walk Quirk [Factor] itself somehow?). And the mansion too for that matter
 * Or maybe it is Chitose's Quirk (with its power amplified by Ujiko or another Quirk)? Since the LoV could've had access to her Quirk after her death, maybe AFO got it from Shigaraki or a Nomu during the prison break
 * En is Nana's family member, either her husband (which I've seen some people speculate in the past, but I doubt it tbh) or a blood-relative (maybe her brother?). The "mu" in "Shimura" could be the 6 (muttsu) in En's name, since there's a pattern of odd-number OFA users having the number in their first names and even-number users in their last names (I just thought it was weird that En's last name still hasn't been revealed even after his Quirk was unlocked)
 * Bonus points if En and Nana are siblings and they parallel Hana and Tenko in some way
 * What if 'En' is just a nickname and his full first name is Enko. Y'know like Tenko. Like how Nana rhymes with Hana
 * If/when the old Shie Hassaikai boss wakes up from his coma he'll be (rightfully) mad/disappointed at Overhaul for what he's done, which will cause the latter to break down somehow (whether by getting angry, or crying, or shutting down, etc.)
 * Someone will pull a Star Lord Avengers Infinity at some point, one day c'mon it would be funny-
 * Shigaraki's sclera will turn black at some point Asriel vibes to parallel how Deku looks like he has black sclera when he's wearing his hood, and technically All Might too (kinda goes hand in hand with the "Shigaraki will steal Mirko's Quirk" theory which would make him visually parallel Deku's "bunny ears" hood demon bunnies )
 * If the "AFO used Chitose's Quirk for all the explosions" theory is true, maybe AFO will give the Landmine Quirk to Shigaraki, and the Quirk will make Shigaraki's sclera turn black (like Chitose herself's)
 * At some point Deku will snap and start smiling constantly like what All Might used to do... and what AFO does now and then the fandom proceeds to scream at Horikoshi about how this isn't what they meant when they said they wanted Deku to smile again (it will be only temporary though)
 * The first time Deku uses the 2nd OFA user's Quirk in present time (so excluding flashbacks etc.) it will be on/for/against Bakugo, or at least in his presence/view
 * Gentle Criminal and La Brava will appear in the Villain Hunt Arc (or the arc after that idk)
 * In Chapter 305 there were flashbacks of Muscular, Overhaul, Stain, Gentle and La Brava (in that order). In the Villain Hunt Arc so far Muscular, Overhaul, and Stain have appeared (in that order), so Gentle and La Brava could appear too. Though they may not run into Deku since he's already "understood" them
 * Bakugo will get Stain's cape/scarf (like how Deku got Gran Torino's cape, foreshadowed by this)
 * This could potentially tie neatly into Bakugo vs Toga
 * Also it would be ironic how Deku got the cape of a hero who wants a villain dead, and Bakugo got one from a villain that went around killing heroes
 * Though this is somewhat unlikely since Stain doesn't seem to have his scarf anymore (and I highly doubt Bakugo will get one from Spinner or something)
 * The All Might statue at Kamino will be destroyed
 * Bonus points if it's destroyed by the 2nd OFA user possessing Deku, or at least by Deku somehow (just a gut feeling)
 * At some point the 2nd OFA user will 1. forcibly activate his Quirk through Deku and/or 2. straight up possess Deku the same way AFO possessed Shigaraki (likely when Deku falls unconscious) I Do Not Trust the 2nd user at all as you can see,
 * What if the rest of the vestiges try to pull the 2nd user away from Deku like this (and maybe this I never realized how similar those 2 panels look [in a weird way] until now [also Sato and Mineta are pulling Bakugo's back, and the back (shoulder+torso) hands are the only ones that are missing in the full Shigaraki scene... h u h])
 * The cracks on Shinomori's face formed bc the 2nd user tried to possess him (bc Shinomori was staying in that forest instead of chasing down AFO like what the 2nd user wanted) like how cracks form on Shigaraki's body whenever AFO possesses him. Though the 2nd user's possession attempt failed (and Shinomori didn't even notice someone tried to possess him) probably either bc OFA hasn't reached/passed Quirk Singularity yet or another vestige stopped him
 * idk if the cracks forming from the 2nd user's possession attempt could've had anything to do with Shinomori dying from "old age". On one hand, if possessing someone decreases their life span AFO would've never chosen possession as a means of living longer. On the other hand, maybe part of Shigaraki's "upgrade" was meant to prevent his life span from decreasing when AFO possesses him (and since Shigaraki woke up at 75% it may very well mean he'll end up dying early from "old age" too 😬 pls no )
 * Several characters (such as Kaminari, Hagakure and Aoyama) are meant to be intentional red herring traitor suspects
 * It's worth noting that all 3 of their Quirks have something to do with light in some way. The only other students with light-related Quirks are Bakugo and Todoroki, both of which are obvious that they're not the traitor from the get go
 * And all 3 of their status as red herrings are established in the USJ Arc (Kaminari with the signal interference, Hagakure's name not being visible on the voting board [even though it could've very well just been off screen], both Hagakure & Aoyama's locations being vague/unknown)
 * Aoyama didn't speak to Deku (when Class A were trying to convince Deku to come back) bc he wanted to say something about how both of their Quirks hurt them, but no one else in the class knows about Aoyama's Quirk hurting him and he didn't want to reveal that to them and be a "burden"
 * Toga is in will enter UA (disguised ofc)
 * Toga will impersonate All Might? (Possibly foreshadowed by Stain pretending to believe All Might is an impostor in Chapter 326)
 * Nezu knows that the Decay Quirk didn't originally belong to Shigaraki, which is how he knew about the Quirk's full potential even before Shigaraki's Quirk awakening (Nezu either saw someone else use Decay or heard someone talk about the Quirk)
 * This becomes more likely if AFO and Ujiko were the ones that experimented on Nezu
 * All Might (or someone else idk but All Might seems most likely imo) will run into a villain in bad shape, feel sympathy for them and try to bring them into the UA shelter (or at least consider doing that). Said villain will be one of these:
 * Toga - Possibly foreshadowed by Nezu and Aizawa bringing up countermeasures against Toga directly before All Might is shown in Chapter 325 (along with being shown/mentioned in 3 chapters in a row). Ironically Toga may not even be in a disguise when All Might tries to bring her into UA, rendering the countermeasures against her basically pointless
 * Gentle & La Brava - Their return may have been foreshadowed in Chapter 305 along with Muscular, Overhaul, and Stain, plus they were introduced in the same arc as the UA barrier (School Festival)
 * Alive!Twice - The least likely (for obvious reasons) but also the most potentially interesting imo, not just bc of the plot twist but also bc of how dangerous his Quirk is (even if it got nerfed to some extent) so the risk that comes with trying to bring him into the shelter is very high. Plus it would be ironic for Twice to show up after Hawks entered UA
 * Or that villain could be Stain, if he gets hurt from defending All Might from another villain or something
 * Kurogiri being at Central Hospital will lead to Bad Things happening
 * Mr. Compress is also at Central Hospital
 * Compress could try to sneak Kurogiri out and escape together
 * All Might won't kill Stain
 * Shigaraki was the one who came up with the name "League of Villains" (Ujiko wouldn't have called it cheap if AFO was the one who came up with it)
 * Seiji Shishikura's dad survived the Tartarus attack
 * AFO won't be able to steal OFA even with Star and Stripe's Quirk
 * Shigaraki with New Order will be able to impose 4 rules (2 from himself, 2 from AFO's vestige). So theoretically if Deku got New Order he'd be able to impose 18 rules (2 from himself + each vestige)
 * At some point at least 1 of the OFA vestiges (specifically the 2nd user) will try to straight up merge with Deku the same way AFO is trying to merge with Shigaraki I just don't trust the 2nd user ok
 * That 3rd person with their face obscured in the photo of All Might and Star will be relevant at some point

Confirmed

 * Deku, Bakugo, and/or Todoroki will defeat Ending (beating a villain faster than Endeavor)
 * The "heroes disappeared from the streets" bc that many heroes are involved in raiding the hospital
 * Ujiko's 4 month operation on Shigaraki will be interrupted somehow
 * And it will be partially Dabi, Toga, and/or Geten 's fault (I guess it's technically Dabi's fault since this wouldn't have happened if he didn't recruit Hawks)
 * Hawks will try to redeem Twice


 * X-Less will be killed by Shigaraki too obvious?
 * The color spread from Chapter 254 has Shigaraki facing backwards while everyone else is facing forwards which could be foreshadowing either:
 * Toga will betray Shigaraki and join the heroes' side and/or (not yet)
 * Shigaraki's appearance (post surgery) will be changed (his mechanical enhancements count I guess, he also seems more muscular? I'm glad I didn't specify his face changing bc it literally looks exactly the same as before )
 * Gigantaxi will be a thing (basically Gigantomachia carrying the PLF members)
 * Fat Gum (the original Fataxi) will say something about this Gigantaxi [not yet? I have a feeling this won't happen tbh]
 * Todoroki, Ochaco, Ida, and Tsuyu will follow/reunite with Deku and Bakugo (context: during PL War)
 * This may lead to the main 6 heroes vs 6 villains battle that will establish the hero/villain counterpart dynamics, if the 6 kids face Shigaraki and Gigantomachia brings the LoV members to him just in time Twice get up already (Gigantomachia himself doesn't count bc there's no way a single student can fight him on their own) [nope]
 * If Twice is perma-dead then uhh Tsuyu will probably have to stay behind bc 6 vs 5 just won't work. And tbh I'm not a fan of 2 heroes sharing a single villain counterpart (eg. Deku & Bakugo vs Shigaraki, or Ida & Tsuyu vs Spinner, or worst case scenario: Ochaco & Tsuyu vs Toga I just really hate the Designated Girl Fight trope ok. I hated it when it happened in the MLA arc and I'm gonna hate it even more when it happens again in this arc )
 * The only other alternative is that since Twice and Ida are parallels, Ida will die PLS NO!!! (likely when fighting against Skeptic who is Twice's "replacement")
 * I checked one of the panels near the end of Chapter 274 and it seems only 1 person is following Deku and Bakugo which is disappointing... though maybe the other 3 could follow them later
 * Alternatively, comparing their positions in these panels maybe Todoroki got a head start in chasing Deku & Bakugo and Ochaco, Ida & Tsuyu are side by side following him (maybe Ochaco used Zero Gravity on herself and Tsuyu so they can hold onto Ida to go faster) I was only half right lmao
 * Shigaraki didn't stop making video game metaphors bc he got more mature (he is more mature now, I'm not saying he isn't), he stopped bc he was pressured into becoming a "more serious" villain. (It's worth noting that both Spinner and Twice have also made video game references/metaphors despite them both being older than Shigaraki) He'll start making them again once he's completely free from AFO (I... guess this is technically confirmed?? Since he did make a game metaphor in Chapter 282 after "freeing" himself from AFO, though I'd argue Shigaraki isn't completely free from AFO quite yet [yup I was right :/]. And the reasons are more implied if anything, not straight up confirmed as of now)
 * Something will happen to one of Bakugo's arms (there's been at least two instances of Bakugo being drawn with his gauntlet only on the right arm, there are more but I don't feel like compiling them all) pls no Hori he's a KID
 * Bakugo got stabbed in his left arm (the same arm that was often drawn without a gauntlet) or at least his shoulder? But so far there are no visible lasting effects... yet HORI I TOLD YOU HE'S JUST A KID
 * Deku saves Todoroki (Chapter 283) -> Bakugo saves Deku (Chapter 285) -> Todoroki saves Bakugo?
 * There will be an AFO vs OFA battle in the dreamscape/mindscape/Quirk-scape(???) (whether it's 2 vs 9 or 1 vs 10 or 3 vs 8, that is whether Shigaraki and/or the 4th OFA user is on AFO's or the OFA users' side. Or maybe 1 vs 9 or 2 vs 8 where the OFA users are trying to save Shigaraki from AFO)
 * Based on what happened in Chapter 286 the fight (much earlier than I expected tbh) will most likely be 1 vs 7 (everyone minus Shigaraki, Deku and All Might)
 * It ended up being 1 vs 2 as in AFO vs Nana and Yoichi (or technically 2 vs 2 if you include Shigaraki, but he was more being forced by AFO to fight than actually fighting...). For now
 * Ochaco will lose her All Might keychain only for Toga to pick it up
 * Best Jeanist is still alive (either his corpse that Hawks showed Dabi is fake, or it's actually Best Jeanist himself but he wasn't actually dead)
 * Dabi had something in his right hand in Chapter 267 (apparently it was one of Skeptic's cameras, not sure if it's one of the cameras Hawks ripped off his feathers or if it's another one Dabi had with him the whole time), that's why it zoomed into his right hand in one of the panels
 * If Best Jeanist is alive and enters the battlefield he'll use his Fiber Master Quirk on Gigantomachia the real reason why Hori gave Giganto pants
 * Mr. Compress' face (and hair) reveal will happen in the PL War Arc
 * Mr. Compress is related to Majestic and/or Oji Harima (based on Compress' line about bloodline in Chapter 291)
 * Possible ways for power-upped Shigaraki to be defeated (if at all):
 * Rewinded by Eri
 * Brainwashed by Shinso
 * Side effects from his operation being incomplete (if it actually gets interrupted):
 * New powers go out of control and/or hurt his body (especially when he overexerts himself)
 * Surgery scars become weak points (he doesn't seem to have any apparently???)
 * Powers just stop working all of a sudden during a crucial moment (it didn't exactly stop but Super Regeneration did slow down a lot, so that counts ig)
 * His own emotions will cause him to be reckless/lash out (hurting himself /his allies in the process)
 * Probably really obvious but: Tartarus prison break. It will happen
 * It was Dabi's idea to let Skeptic tag along
 * Spinner will show some kind of defiance against AFO-possessing-Shigaraki (either by questioning "you're not actually Shigaraki are you" or trying to hop off the Nomu carrying him, etc.)
 * Dabi took a hair or something from Best Jeanist's "corpse" and did a DNA test to confirm that it really is Best Jeanist (except the question shouldn't have been "is that body Best Jeanist or someone/thing else" but rather "is that Best Jeanist even actually dead or not" in a world full of so many different Quirks, Dabi didn't even consider the possibility of someone having a death-faking Quirk... this is why he has a C in Intelligence )
 * The "Hades" mentioned by Starservant is Dabi, based on Disney's version of Hades (blue fire)
 * Dabi will ultimately be the one most satisfied with the result of the PL War, not only bc of Endeavor's past being exposed but also bc of the losses and destruction on both the heroes and the PLF/LoV's sides, hence "the smile of Hades shines wryly on thee" (and Dabi has been smiling more than usual in this arc... he also seems to be the happiest so far)
 * In the official translations Starservant says "dark lord" instead of Hades. Eh this theory still works lol
 * (Thinking about it I think this is technically confirmed, Dabi seems to be mostly content with the results of the war while everyone else has reasons to be upset one way or another)
 * Toya's piece of jaw bone is real and it has something to do with the stitches on Dabi's jaw technically the second part isn't confirmed yet but it's obvious at this point so
 * Yoichi will speak to Deku again before the end of the PL War Arc/Rise of Villains Saga (too vague? lol)
 * Deku will speak/interact with an OFA vestige(s) while in his coma
 * Nana's "can you kill Shigaraki" line is (at least one of these things):
 * She's only testing Deku, hoping he'll say "no" (bc she doesn't actually believe Shigaraki should die)
 * She's asking if Deku can kill Shigaraki as a last resort (if it's this one then she/another OFA user may or may not bring up Hawks killing Twice, which they would've found out through their connection with All Might [as he's presumably watched Dabi's video])
 * The cracks that appeared on Shigaraki's body during the PL War seem similar in nature to the cracks that formed over Shinomori's eye, which would mean Shigaraki would end up dying early anyways, so Nana's asking for a mercy kill
 * Yoichi intended for OFA to be used to defeat his brother (who btw hasn't been really defeated yet), not literally anyone and everyone with the AFO Quirk
 * Todoroki, Ochaco, and/or Ida (possibly Tsuyu, Endeavor and/or Aizawa too considering where things seem to be going now... and Hawks apparently, and maybe Best Jeanist, and the public even though I think it's too early for them to learn about OFA ) will be the next one(s) to learn about OFA probably too obvious but whatever
 * Depending on when/where/how they learn about OFA it's possible the other LoV members will find out about OFA too (if they don't know about it already), especially Toga and Dabi but also Mr. Compress, Twice and Spinner
 * ...Welp I was technically right lmao jflksdjflkjsdlf (minus the LoV part for now) I was also right about it being too early for the public to find out about OFA
 * Deku will run into any of the known villains out there
 * List of possibilities (order of my own preference): mystery villain lady Hori pls, Twice-if-he's-actually-alive, Toga, Gentle Criminal & La Brava, Stain, Mr. Compress (AFO freed prisoners left and right so Compress may be free too), Overhaul, Geten (assuming he's been freed too), Giran (was he ever arrested?? idek what happened to him), Kurogiri, others I'm not gonna bother naming bc idc about them
 * He ended up running into Muscular of all villains 😑🙄😒 (still crossing my fingers for mystery villain lady)
 * MYSTERY VILLAIN LADY IN CHAPTER 311 HECK YEAHHHHHHH (oh and Overhaul too I guess)
 * AFO and Yoichi have green and/or red eyes (I'm hoping they both have heterochromia, or at least Yoichi)
 * If they both have heterochromia, then one would be a mirrored/switched around version of the other idk how to word this right
 * Yoichi has been confirmed to have a green right eye (left eye still unknown)
 * Both of AFO's eyes turned out to be red. I'm fine with that
 * Mr. Compress was a victim of poverty (confirmed in the Volume 30 extras)
 * Kaina Tsutsumi was trained by the HPSC as a child just like Hawks (probably kinda obvious)
 * The top 3 heroes split up so they can help both Deku and All Might (Best Jeanist didn't show up with Hawks and Endeavor so they did seem to have split up, but he didn't show up with All Might either so idk where he went)
 * The OFA vestiges will show up in Chapter 318 they always show up whenever All Might offers Deku a bento
 * At least 1 character (most likely Bakugo if any) will try to go after Deku (so far only Bakugo and [unknown students] have been confirmed)
 * Or perhaps a squad of students: namely Bakugo, Todoroki, Ochaco, Ida, and Tsuyu (esp if my hero counterparts/villain counterparts theory is true, which would mean those kids are the important ones). Other members of the squad may include Kirishima, Momo, Shinso, Tokoyami (since Chapter 309 revealed Hawks' involvement in Deku leaving), maybe even the whole Class A ( though I highly doubt the entire class would be involved tbh wow, I'm genuinely surprised they really all got involved tbh). If Aizawa didn't know about/disapproves of Deku, All Might and the top 3's plan he could go with them too
 * What if Shinso and Aizawa show up (late) together 🤔
 * And yeah this would technically parallel Deku & co. trying to rescue Bakugo during the Hideout Raid Arc
 * Speaking of Hideout Raid Arc: Tsuyu going with the others would highlight how much she's grown since said arc (where she said if they went off to rescue Bakugo on their own they'd be "no better than the villains", and later regretted it)
 * As for how they'd actually manage to find Deku in the first place:
 * Shindo recognized Deku so he and the other Ketsubutsu students could be witnesses that can help the "Deku Rescue Squad"
 * Todoroki's connection with Endeavor (if he actually answers his phone... or maybe his phone can be tracked down? Maybe Momo could do that )
 * The "urban legend" of Deku could help the Deku Rescue Squad track him down
 * If All Might's connection with OFA can be used to locate Deku, the Deku Rescue Squad will have to find All Might first before finding Deku (maybe the fox civilian could help with that, if the Rescue Squad visits the school she's at)
 * After Bakugo and the rest of the Deku Rescue Squad, All Might (where is he???) and the pro heroes will arrive at Kamino too
 * After Todoroki and Tsuyu, the order or the main kids speaking to Deku will be Bakugo -> Ochaco -> Ida, based on this (should've known Bakugo would be saved for last but otherwise close enough)
 * Deku and/or Bakugo will call the other by their real name at some point (Bakugo did it)
 * Narrator!Deku will say something about how he's not the only greatest hero
 * All Might is Fine (not hurt/killed by Stain or anything) (As of Chapter 326 that is)
 * Shigaraki will wake up before the month passes
 * Assuming he'll attack UA or otherwise make a move in some way, it's more likely to happen on April than May bc 1. Shigaraki's birthday is on April and 2. Chapter 1 presumably takes place in April, so it's a "special month"
 * Very close to being confirmed as of Chapter 328 (what if Shigaraki woke up before the 3 days are up. That would be funny)
 * If Star and Stripe loses her New Order Quirk, her appearance will change to her appearance from the flashbacks (basically closer to Horikoshi's usual art style)

Debunked
(don't get me wrong I still hate any time travel theories I actually cringed while writing this but this is just an idea that popped in my head some time ago, I don't think they [or Bakugo] even have 2 or 3 in their names anyways ) Me: no fear Toya: used to have red hair Me: one fear
 * Spinner's Quirk can make things spin around (hence his villain name), he hasn't used it yet since joining the LoV bc he thinks it's ridiculous but the Quirk will actually turn out to be useful/powerful
 * The dinner at Todoroki's house will be crashed (or at least interrupted)
 * Dabi will save Natsuo/defeat Ending
 * The You Say Run leitmotif will be in Jiro's song :(
 * If Twice is offered a chance of redemption, he'll "split" bc he can't choose between being saved/quitting being a villain and staying loyal to the LoV
 * If the splitting is somehow literal (becoming 2 different people, maybe by creating a clone that has the evil part of his personality while the original only keeps the good part or vice versa) then Evil Twice will stick with the LoV/PLF while Good Twice will join Hawks and the heroes
 * Chapter 280 color spread predictions:
 * It will feature the villains (Hori pls,,), Class 1-B (if this is the case then hopefully Shinso will be there too) and/or more pro heroes (Mirko!!!!!)
 * It will basically be a mirrored version of Chapter 279's color spread with different characters (31 characters, more or less)
 * It will reveal who's the one with the camera going around taking pictures of everyone
 * It will have the central character (Shigaraki maybe??) holding up 1 finger (this + Deku's 5 fingers [left hand] in Chapter 279's color spread = 6 [year anniversary])
 * Bonus points if the last 2 are the same character (makes sense since they'd be the only one not being photographed, like Deku)
 * I guess I had way too high expectations bc "anniversary" (during a big arc no less) jkasjldf the Mina color page is still cool though!! (Someday I hope we get an anniversary color spread with villains though... someday...)
 * Gigantomachia will jump all the way to the hospital so the "pesky little humans" can't distract him anymore
 * Skeptic will be flung off Giganto in the process, if he hasn't been shoved off yet before the jump it's unfortunate this didn't happen lmao
 * Extremely specific theory on what will happen to the Quirk-destroying bullet that Shigaraki threw that involves Woman turning out to be alive (this will most likely be debunked but eh): Woman attacks the people at the battle offscreen using either Liquification + Rupture again or a different attack. One of her attack hits the bullet and stops/destroys(?) it. Aizawa gets distracted by the attack and blinks. Shigaraki gets excited about getting his Quirks back only to (almost?) be hit by the attack and realize he himself was one of Woman's targets. Cue Woman showing up onscreen, ready to fight Shigaraki after seeing how powerful he is, with the Near High-Ends (as they're less intelligent) following her lead. (Also cue Ujiko freaking out about the Nomu disobeying Shigaraki) Shigaraki being distracted by the Nomu allows the heroes to distance themselves from him, leading to Deku and Bakugo reuniting with Todoroki, Ochaco, Ida, and Tsuyu
 * Mineta will mess up Momo's plan to stop Gigantomachia (regardless of whether he's the traitor or not)
 * Dabi's hair isn't dyed, it got singed to black when he was set aflame back during that incident (yes just like Jeff the Killer)
 * Deku will figure out that Dabi is Todoroki's brother (reverse of Todoroki assuming Deku is All Might's son in the Sports Festival Arc except in this case Deku is right)
 * Dabi will realize that the PL War is too chaotic for him to reveal his identity to the public (since the civilians may not care as much about his identity when there are people dying left and right), so he'll only quietly reveal himself to Todoroki during their battle. Todoroki will be conflicted on whether to tell this to Endeavor/the rest of his family/someone else or not
 * It's possible Dabi will tell Endeavor too since he's in the same area, but if Endeavor ends up being too busy fighting Giganto (along with other heroes) or he stays unconscious after being stabbed by Shigaraki/AFO then maybe not
 * Toya Todoroki's hair is pink (the manga version that is)
 * Best Jeanist (assuming he's alive) is with Monoma's group (yeah I knew this theory was unlikely)
 * Since Best Jeanist's return is about to follow the Dabi reveal/Endeavor's exposure at the very least it would make sense for Inasa to be there, assuming he's a part of Monoma's group
 * Skeptic didn't get captured by Best Jeanist (Skeptic can't be seen in this panel which is hella sus)
 * When Deku had "that feeling just like last time" in Chapter 293 he wasn't sensing Gigantomachia being freed (that was most likely a red herring bc he immediately fell down bc of the sedative), he sensed something else, some other kind of danger on its way
 * [REDACTED] Bc of one of OFA's Quirks or something?? idk (hey at least I got this part right lol)
 * Or it could be another thing Shigaraki/AFO related [REDACTED] (technically got this part right too ig)
 * The surviving heroes from the mansion area are chasing/will chase after Gigantomachia
 * Koda and Manga Fukidashi went to warn Monoma's group and/or Nighteye Agency (maybe not the latter since Mirio didn't mention them but idk)
 * The rest of Nighteye Agency will follow Mirio (context: PL War Arc)
 * Dabi will patch up Mr. Compress (maybe he has extra piercings in his satchel/pockets?). With a possible hint at how Dabi himself got patched up (Hopefully just to earn the LoV's trust more so he can keep using them for as long as he needs + keep Compress alive bc his Quirk is useful. NOT bc he actually cares about the LoV, pls no)
 * Ochaco and Tsuyu will encounter Shigaraki in the PL War Arc (assuming Chapter 295 isn't the end of the arc *honks clown nose* )
 * Shigaraki, Spinner, and the Nomu seem to be going in the opposite direction of where Gigantomachia came from (assuming he didn't rotate too much before falling down). If they continue going in that direction they could potentially run into Ochaco and Tsuyu
 * There's a connection between Oji Harima and Takami the thief
 * Dabi and Hawks knew each other as kids, that's how Dabi knew Hawks' real name
 * Dabi was part of the same hero training program as Hawks
 * Toya was saved by Takami the thief
 * Takami groomed Toya into becoming a villain (just like how AFO and the HPSC groomed Shigaraki and Hawks respectively after "saving" them
 * Well technically Endeavor was the one who saved Hawks but this did have an influence in Hawks' decision to accept the HPSC's "offer", as a parallel/contrast to how Takami saved Toya and put him on the path of villainy
 * Takami took Toya to Ujiko to patch him up (Ujiko praising Dabi's "aesthetics" may have been his way of being proud of his own patchwork) which may mean there's a connection between Takami and AFO. Ironic since Hawks was worried about "AFO's resurgence"
 * Alternatively Takami patched up Toya himself 1. bc he learned how to do it from Ujiko, or 2. he didn't learn from Ujiko but they still know each other somehow, and Ujiko recognized Takami's patchwork when he saw Dabi
 * If both this and the "there's a connection between AFO and the HPSC" theory are true then maybe there's a bigger reason why the HPSC specifically targeted Hawks...
 * But considering Dabi's apathy towards the LoV which is a stark contrast to how Ujiko is so blindly loyal to AFO, Takami himself may not be so loyal to AFO/Ujiko either
 * Dabi might've cared about Takami? (The way Dabi declares he can't forgive the heroes right after saying Endeavor captured Takami... 🤔) If Dabi cares more about Takami than he does about his mom & siblings then ouch
 * "That day" that Dabi mentioned in Chapter 290 is referring to the day Endeavor captured Takami (paralleling Shigaraki's rage after AFO was arrested)
 * Takami requested Dabi to take down Hawks (maybe Takami hates his son just as much as Dabi hates Endeavor, for whatever reason [perhaps Hawks ratted Takami out and let him be captured, as hinted by One's Justice 2. If this is the case it would also explain why Dabi also hates Hawks so much])
 * Actually what if Takami favored Toya over Hawks like how Endeavor favored Todoroki over the rest of his kids. That would add to Toya's (presumed) attachment + Hawks' hatred towards Takami
 * Toya may or may not have met younger Hawks at that time. At the very least Takami told Toya about him
 * Takami gave the name "Dabi" to Toya, again like how AFO and the HPSC renamed Shigaraki and Hawks (though I'm not 100% sure on this bc Dabi doesn't seem to like that name so much? Unless he was being sarcastic)
 * (Assuming Dabi is true about Takami being a murderer) Takami was only known as a thief by outsiders (such as Ending) bc Dabi burned up Takami's murder victims, leaving no evidence for Takami killing anyone (so basically Dabi was Takami's sidekick in a way?)
 * Not sure if Takami saving Toya from the forest fire was the first time they've ever met, or if Toya and Takami knew each other beforehand. Could go either way
 * Toya faked his death bc he thought it would shock Endeavor enough to prompt him to change his ways (which unfortunately didn't happen until much later and wasn't even prompted by Toya's "death")
 * Toya got a fake piece of jaw bone somewhere (probably from Ujiko) to use it to fake his death (the Todoroki family didn't run a DNA test on it bc most of them were certain it was Toya, or they did do a DNA test but the bone was a perfect duplicate of Toya's made by Ujiko)
 * The 4th OFA user is alive (ironic since 4 is synonymous to "death" in Japanese) (this would've been even more ironic if it was confirmed since "mori" [in Shinomori] is homonymous to the Latin word for "death"
 * It's why All Might didn't write down the cause of death for the 4th user in that notebook. It's also why when Bakugo said "that tracks, they [the predecessors] all died young" All Might apparently "didn't tell him everything" (according to Bakugo in Chapter 284), instead just saying "yes... that's true" in Chapter 257
 * It would explain why the 4th user is the only one in this scene who isn't clearly dying
 * In the same arc where the hint about the 4th user is dropped, we also learned about: 1. Ujiko's Life Force Quirk and how this along with other Quirks can be and has been duplicated, and 2. How an alive predecessor of a ["special"] Quirk can still interact with the Quirk's current user as a vestige (as seen with Shigaraki and AFO)
 * The 4th user was (secretly) loyal to AFO. AFO had the 4th user pass on OFA to someone else instead of giving it to him bc AFO wanted to wait until OFA has accumulated enough power (and Quirks if AFO was aware of that possibility) and/or Ujiko's research (the "hardware/memory" thing) was complete before trying to take it. AFO gave the 4th user a copy of Life Force afterwards
 * Perhaps the 4th user was seeking for more power (hinted by All Might saying "it's not only the wicked who seek power") and realized that being physically strong or having a strong Quirk isn't the only way to become powerful, which could've been why he became loyal to AFO for a position of power In the words of Pr*fessor V*nomous OK KO: "you don't need powers to have power!"
 * If the 3rd user (assuming they're the red spiky haired silhouette) is related to Bakugo/Endeavor and had a personality similar to them, the 3rd user could've (constantly?) berated the 4th user for being weak/having a weak Quirk which led to the 4th user becoming power hungy, especially if the 4th user was younger back when the 3rd user berated him
 * It's possible the 4th user stopped being loyal to AFO since then, but this is unlikely considering if that was the case AFO would've killed him by now, especially since the 4th user would've no longer had OFA to defend himself with also what would even be the point of all this if the 4th user is a good guy now? It's more likely (and would be more interesting imo) that the 4th user is still working under AFO while pretending to be supportive of Deku (he's the only one who clearly isn't smiling here so maybe there were already some cracks in the facade). The 4th user may try to manipulate, straight up possess and/or otherwise sabotage Deku in some way
 * All Might crossed this part in the notebook out bc while he may have found rumors/clues pointing to the 4th user's shadiness it wasn't confirmed in the sources that he could find. However the possibility was still enough to make All Might upset
 * The predecessor that appeared in Nana's dream was the 4th user. Despite how OFA's vestiges were unable to interact with the user before OFA has passed the point of Quirk Singularity (hence none of them interacted with All Might), the 4th user talked to Nana in her dream bc he was testing the ability to interact with OFA users while still being alive (like how AFO could interact with Shigaraki despite him being only at 75%). The 4th user never interacted with All Might bc he never needed to
 * Even OFA's interference during Deku's match against Shinso at the Sports Festival, such a low-stake event of all times, was the 4th user testing the ability to take control of the current OFA user's body (either he did it just by himself or all the vestiges did it together, though it's possible the other vestiges didn't help bc they don't approve of cheating)
 * And ofc the 4th user has let AFO know about these abilities being possible, which is how AFO seemingly immediately knew that he could interact with/possess Shigaraki through the AFO Quirk
 * The 4th user might've even willingly given up or let AFO/Ujiko duplicate his Quirk
 * If the "Shigaraki's hands are actually from OFA's predecessors" theory is true then the 4th user's physical form may currently have prosthetic hands (AFO apparently had some messed up reason to collect OFA users' hands and that included the one that was loyal to him)
 * This would challenge/subvert the "OFA vs AFO" and "OFA good AFO bad" narrative, making things more gray and complex instead of simplistic and black & white (as this series already loves to do)
 * I'll assume this is 100% confirmed for now bc 1. there's nothing indicating Shinomori isn't trustworthy so far and 2. I no longer believe he's the "big bad within OFA" (currently I think that's the 2nd and/or 3rd user). Though it's always possible AFO/Ujiko altered his records for him ok after Chapter 318 Shinomori's off the hook now lmao
 * The 4th OFA user can't smile, like how Eri used to be unable to (excluding the silhouettes, the 4th user is the only OFA user who we haven't seen smile so far) (Not to mention Eri's hairstyle used to look kinda like the 4th user's so maybe Shigaraki isn't the only character she's supposed to parallel)
 * Toga will show up disguised as a medic or another hero (I'm leaning towards medic bc they all wear the same outfits [easier to pretend to be one] and their masks make them look like Among Us characters, it would be fitting [Toga would be the impostor])
 * And try to ask Deku that question she wanted to ask him?
 * Maybe even instigating Toga vs Bakugo and/or Best Jeanist? (Along with confronting Hawks I suppose)
 * Bonus points if she's disguised as that one doctor from that chapter bc I like his design or the mushroom doctor from Chapter 300  or the nurse next to Ochaco in Chapter 303
 * If Shigaraki takes back control of his body (like, soon enough I guess) he will attack Central Hospital, basically a reverse of the heroes raiding Jaku General Hospital
 * What if the LoV attacks the hospital while Rei, Fuyumi and Natsuo are still there and that's when they face Dabi for the first time (as, well, Dabi and not just Toya) 👀
 * Mr. Compress' birthday is October 6 (Mad Hatter Day) NOOOO I WAS 2 DAYS OFF
 * The 2nd and 3rd OFA users are (redeemed?) Dabi and Toga time traveled to the past, that's why the 2nd user has spiky hair (also his gauntlets + neck brace might be some kind of equipment that keeps Dabi's body from getting burned) and their theme colors are blue (Dabi's fire) and red (blood and Toga's scarf) respectively, and the 3rd user looks completely different bc Toga had transformed her appearance before she died
 * OMG I did some research (used this site for reference) and there's a mi from mittsu (3) in Himiko oh noooo but at least Dabi still doesn't have 2 anywhere in either of his names from what I can tell
 * Though To(u)ya does have a tou (10) and a ya from yattsu (8, like Yagi) and 10 - 8 just so happens to be 2 (most likely/hopefully just a coincidence though)
 * ...What if Dabi doesn't have a 2 in his name bc he was forcibly given OFA (can't say for sure until the other predecessors' names and backstories are revealed) like brother (AFO) like brother (OFA)? (not necessarily intentionally on the first OFA user's part, maybe his blood got through Dabi's stitches by accident idk)
 * Chapter 304 confirmed that spiky hair = 2nd user and ponytail = 3rd user... welp I was actually hoping it would be the other way around but ok
 * It also showed that the 2nd user's ears don't have any burn scars which could counter the Dabi part of the theory... except for the fact that there are plenty of different healing/regenerative Quirks in BNHA. Him still having burnt ears would've been too obvious of a giveaway anyways (tbh I do think this theory is mostly jossed, based on the exact shape of the 2nd user's hair being too different from Dabi's, but I can't rest until they show their faces)
 * Since the same Quirk can manifest differently depending on the person (see Chapter 193) Dabi's Cremation will manifest as a fire breath (and a weaker ice breath if the "Dabi will unlock ice Quirk" theory is true) bc Deku has Hisashi's genes, this way Deku's Quirk won't overlap with Todoroki's idk why I'm adding details to a theory that I hate
 * Ironically (in multiple ways!!) Deku will unlock Dabi's Cremation when he's trying to protect Hisashi from someone/something (Hisashi will be shocked and assume Deku inherited his Fire Breath)
 * omg what if Deku's face turning into All Might's in like 2 scenes (and Deku's hero costume resembling All Might's hair, and all the times baby Deku wore an All Might hoodie) are actually foreshadowing Deku unlocking Toga's Transform and literally turning into All Might, bc OFA improved Transform so it can also be activated by eating someone's hair ngl the mental image of Deku panicking about suddenly turning into All Might is freaking hilarious
 * Season 4 finale: the spiky haired OFA user is glowing red
 * The other silhouetted user is glowing purple which isn't really a color associated with Toga but it could just be the theme color of whoever she transformed into though it doesn't matter anyways bc I don't want this theory to be true
 * In Heroes Rising the red silhouette has red eyes (like Bakugo 😬) and the purple one has yellow eyes (like Toga 😬😬 is that why they're presumably hero/villain counterparts ) though since All Might's vestige's eyes are yellow like the rest of his body, not blue, the eye colors of the silhouettes may not necessarily be the same as their real appearance either also a red spiky haired silhouette having blue eyes would be a dead giveaway that it's Toya tbf
 * It is weird that the purple silhouette is the only vestige (not counting Nana who's in full color) whose eye color is different from their body color. Almost as if the outer appearance (body) doesn't match the soul (eyes) eg. Toga disguised as someone else god I HATE how well this fits
 * Dabi is also colored red in this sketch though this could just be another coincidence (or only alluding to Dabi = Toya)
 * Me: haha what if Dabi's hair turns pink in the future Chapter 304: 2nd user's hair is shaded gray which is obviously in between black (crimson) and white Me: two fears
 * If AFO recognized present-time Dabi and Toga as the 2nd and 3rd OFA users, he could've had Ujiko and another subordinate (whoever trained Toga) interact with them respectively to subtly push them in the direction of villainy, then had Giran recruit them so that they'd end up as his successor's underlings (he didn't put as much effort in making Dabi and Toga villains as he did with Shigaraki, bc if he fails to make those 2 villains he can always just kill them instead)
 * The evil is defeated (since the Dabi part is clearly debunked I'm gonna assume the Toga part is too)
 * OFA users who's had the Quirk forcibly given to them don't have the corresponding number in their names (yeah guess I'll write this down as a separate theory, why not)
 * The 1st user's first name is Tomura (like you know who), his name doesn't have a 1 bc he was technically forced to acquire OFA (by AFO forcibly giving him the stockpile Quirk)
 * Also the "mu" (む) part of his name (assuming it's not the exact same kanji as Shigaraki's) may be either 無 ("nothing/nothingness/none" since he seemed Quirkless) or 夢 ("dream/vision/illusion" since he can appear in Deku's dream along with the other vestiges) source: Wiktionary
 * This rule applies to AFO users too. AFO himself was born with his Quirk so he didn't exactly willingly receive it, so he likely doesn't have a 1 in his name. Shigaraki was forced to become a villain/AFO's successor and therefore was technically forced to receive the AFO Quirk, so there isn't a 2 in his name either. But if Shigaraki were to give AFO to a willing recipient, they will have a 3 in their name (eg. Midoriya)
 * "i" and "ten" are both alternate ways of reading 一 (one). Izuku and Tenko as first willing users of All For All (or whatever the AFO+OFA combined Quirk's name is)? (Not to mention the 10 in both Tomura and Tenko which hints at him becoming the 10th recipient of OFA, not counting Bakugo who only temporarily kept the Quirk)
 * The 2nd OFA user threatened Yoichi into giving his Quirk to him (I'm gonna assume this is debunked since Yoichi seems to trust the 2nd user a lot)
 * Lady Nagant and Overhaul weren't actually sent by AFO technically Overhaul wasn't sent by AFO, Lady Nagant brought him with her, so I was half correct
 * Deku's Danger Sense didn't activate in Chapter 311 bc something happened to Shinomori's vestige (note this could still happen in a later chapter)
 * Mustard is the one who threw the grenade at All Might's car (just a hunch)
 * Overhaul will react emotionally to seeing Deku again, so he'll end up (unintentionally) preventing Lady Nagant from capturing Deku (kinda like what Star Lord did in Avengers Infinity)
 * Lady Nagant will betray AFO (before AFO gets a chance to betray her)
 * Alternatively, Shinso's villain counterpart is Lady Nagant
 * In a way this could be the opposite of Bakugo vs Toga (hero with a "heroic" Quirk vs villain with a "villainous" Quirk): Shinso's Quirk was condemned for being "villainous" but he still chose to be a hero, while Lady Nagant's Quirk was praised by heroes yet she chose to be a villain
 * Some of Lady Nagant's face expressions and gestures kinda give off Shinso vibes (eg. this so there's that too ig
 * This would be more likely if Lady Nagant joins the LoV (as in, more likely for her to have a hero counterpart at all)
 * Not to mention both Shinso and Nagant are "late addition" characters
 * Alternatively, Momo's villain counterpart is Lady Nagant
 * idk their Quirks are similar ig + they're both strategic? Plus Lady Nagant's hairstyle back when she was a hero looks similar to Momo's (even though I'm not a fan of Designated Girl Fight at least Momo vs Lady Nagant has the potential to be interesting/cool, unlike Ochaco vs Toga which revolves around ~rOmAnCe~)
 * Alternatively, Tokoyami's villain counterpart is Lady Nagant
 * I actually don't think Tokoyami will ever get a villain counterpart, but both Tokoyami and Lady Nagant have an important connection with Hawks so it's possible ig
 * If Ochaco's main villain counterpart isn't Mr. Compress (or Toga for that matter hopefully ) it's Lady Nagant instead, since Ochaco has this "who saves heroes when they need saving" thing going on and Nagant was a hero that was naver saved
 * Yes this would also be a Designated Girl Fight but 1. at least it actually has potential to be interesting and doesn't revolve around ~rOmAnCe~ and 2. this goes hand-in-hand with Bakugo vs Toga so it's ok
 * If Lady Nagant is Ochaco's villain counterpart, Compress could be Ida's counterpart instead, in which case Twice can be perma-dead without throwing things off balance (...though I'd still prefer Ida vs Twice over Compress, but as long as it isn't Ida vs Spinner [or Stain, which is unlikely anyways bc he isn't a LoV member] I'm a-ok with it)
 * Lady Nagant currently has Air Walk so Ochaco with her Zero Gravity would be a perfect opponent
 * Also this and this look kinda similar (maybe parallel, maybe coincidence idk)
 * As with all theories involving Lady Nagant being someone's villain counterpart, this would work better if she actually joins the LoV
 * If Overhaul's Quirk was really "modified" after he lost his arms (according to a guidebook apparently? Though I don't see anything about that here on BNHA wiki) he may be able to heal Lady Nagant (though I kinda doubt it tbh, if he can still use his Quirk like that you'd think he would've used it to give himself a pair of makeshift arms already) my doubt was correct
 * Dictator (if he wakes up) will control Deku or any of Class A and/or another major character(s) if they show up (since we don't know how his Despot Quirk works, for all we know simply restraining him may not be enough to stop him from using his Quirk)
 * Maybe less likely now that Endeavor arrested him but who knows (or maybe even more likely, again depending on how Dictator's Quirk works, esp since he could force Endeavor to melt the ice around him)
 * Shinso and/or Aizawa will show up at Kamino (as a surprise twist)
 * There will be a 2nd version of OP/ED when the MLA Arc starts in the anime (same music, more focus on the villains, maybe a scene where Shigaraki decays the BNHA logo like in Chapter 220) shouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon smh
 * Bonus points if there are visual parallels between the main LoV trio and the Origin trio I'd feel so vindicated if they throw in a Bakugo-Toga parallel somewhere in there
 * What if in place of the scene with All Might being replaced by Endeavor, the new OP has a scene with Nana being replaced by AFO (Shigaraki's POV basically) still think this would've been cool if it actually happened tbh
 * All Might already had his meeting with Stain (we may see it in a flashback)
 * Star will get to meet All Might again at some point :(
 * Star won't die (for context: right after Chapter 332) :'(

Images where Ida totally should've been in them but is missing
Why does everyone associated with the BNHA franchise hate Ida so much

I may or may not make these for other characters too (like Todoroki or Ochaco)

unholy trinity
absolutely cursed
