As unlikely it would be for All For One to be Deku's father. There are some points that could make it true.
His real name was never revealed.
He sustained the injury from All Might after Deku would have been born.
We don't see Deku's father from the earliest we saw Deku (around age 4) till now. That would likely be right around the time of All Might's fight with him That could simply be the always at work or something else anime trope though.
Deku's father's name is Hisashi, which is a term for being gone awhile (long time no see). Who else has been absent for awhile and just turned up......
Deku's mother's comments on Deku's father's quirk being fire breathing, which just could be a quirk he took from someone and the only one he showed.
Even a low down dirty bastard like A4O can't help but love Deku Mom.
Most importantly:
The author Horikoshi LOVES Star Wars if that wasn't evident. He also loves play on words. Vader's name itself was a play on words. Vater means Father in German.
A4O kills All Might.
Izuku, I am your father.

Lol highly doubt it
It's going to be another awful pun last name.
It's a coincidence. Darth Vader comes from "Invader", he wasn't even the emperor's right hand in Episode 4.
This is the turning point of the entire series, it's ok if he takes his time
The series has been moving at a pretty swift pace so far, with such a huge fight there's got to be some talk in there. And yes these chapters have been killing me with these cliffhangers.

This chapter was incredible.
I have such a hard time putting into words exactly why these last few chapters have just been incredibly well drawn, written and framed. I could probably write a page for every page in this chapter describing why it works.

I love the way AFO immitated All Mights one handed power up the guy just loves being a cunt
Young Torino looks like an adult Robin looks really cool tho he still has those big ass shoes.
I really liked the Imagery this chapter but
his hand ;_;

Yeah, I agree that it's fine if he takes his time here. He did a great job of setting up a subversion of the ending of the last chapter (AfO had a giant fist attack too) but then subverting that to close out the chapter (All Might had another punch).
Not going to lie, AfO is probably one of the best villians I've read in a while, particularly relating to superheroes. His writing is spot on. He's a massive troll but he's all business.
Yeah, it's so on point. The scenes work so well, the pacing works so well, and the writing is building on top of so many setups throughout the chapters leading up to this.

Didn't All Might un-swelled his right arm and pass it to his left arm to punch the fuck out of AfO? Also I think his right arm is dust now.

Okay so I'm slightly more on the notion of All Might dying if not just for the fact AFO
Good chapter though. Its nice to have no real certainty of what's going to happen.
made a fucking Doomsday arm.

Also we arnt talking about Endeavour.
Seeing how mad the guy was, someone with the amount of pride he has spending his whole life chasing after AM even pushing and using his family to achieve his goals only to find what hes been chasing after looks like a skeleton.

Not sure why that would have to be. I've sort of felt Deku will end up revealing his secret to at least a select few, probably sooner rather than later.

Another great chapter. AFO continues to impress me and All Might is just awesome.
Would be fine with All Might dying at this point though I would prefer it if he doesn't.

There's really nobody capable of stopping AFO at this point and if OFA became public knowledge, Deku would be a huge target.

So so good, what else can you say about this?
I love that the previous One for All user is a woman, i want to know all about her!
Also, i love how this author handles his female characters. Mt. Lady was outstanding in this arc.

The students and pros are pretty good, but it occurs to me the teaching staff is like 80-90% male. Midnight and Healing Lass are the only two women on staff that immediately pop into mind... unless some of the mask-wearing heroes (Snipe?) are ladies.

The UA staff part i agree, it's true. However i'm willing to let it go, specially because Horikoshi made All Might's mentor and most important figure in his life a woman (she'd have been male in any other typical teen/young boy oriented story), basically he got from her everything we've seen from his character, down to his most memorable lines.
That there is just great, and so refreshing.

Ex-fucking-scuse me?
And yeah, Mt. Lady showed some real grit. It's interesting because up to this point she seemed the epitome of the type of hero that Stain was talking about; she was trying to get famous, cutting in on other heroes and wearing a sexy outfit to draw attention. Even when handling the current mission she seemed a bit...flippant about it. And then shit goes down and she gets blowed the fuck up and throws herself into the path of the villains to let the kids get away. Showed a real good part to herself there.
I am somewhat curious how the previous One for All user hero'd it up because she is nowhere near as famous or a "symbol of hope" as All Might is.
I also love the other heroes and their complicated emotions for All Might. Endeavor's quick flashback was handled beautifully.

It really shows the difference in dedication level. All Might literally gave EVERYTHING to be a hero according to his ideals.
Endeavour can be good, but he'll never be All Might, or ever close.

All Might (Toshinori Yagi)
Cementoss (Ken Ishiyama)
Present Mic
Eraserhead (Shouta Aizawa)
Snipe
Midnight (Nemuri Kayama)
Ectoplasm
Power Loader
Blood King
Recovery Girl (Chiyo Shuuzenji) (Nurse)
So if you count the nurse that makes is 80% as far as we know. Who knows about the other departments and some of the other normal classes that the Hero Department kids still need to take. I forget, was a hero teacher like Present Mic teaching an English or Japanese course?
Midnight was actually supposed to be class A-1's Homeroom Teacher at first.
Also there might be a simpler answer (besides that this was just what the author did). Heroics for talented females that are also attractive (because that doesn't hurt) may be far more lucrative than teaching. Look at Mt. Lady who strives for attention and has a fan following or Medusa who is a hero that also has her own business.

This is one of the few times I wished fan reaction would shape a character's involvement in the manga. Like, everybody's love of Tsuyu really should push him to include her more. Or have her become someone close to Deku. I don't even care if it's just platonic it would be awesome for her to be part of the Iida/Ochako friend circle.

What would she even add? Ochako isn't even that relevant neither is Tenya, he only had importance because of his brother.
Tsuyu has no connections with Bakugo and his friends.

lmao dammit DTL
I don't know, I think she's pretty involved in the story. She only let's people she's considered friends with to call her Tsuyu, which she told Deku to her by when he met her. Came with Iida and Ochako to check on Deku during the festival. Seems like good friends with Ochako since they hang with each other often. And she even had a special chapter. I think she's part of Deku's group of friends.
I wish I could get some kind of DTL filter because I like his posts except like 60% of them completely ignore reality, or at least our shared consensus reality
By the way, there were a few heroes in the BG of the USJ 'big damn heroes' spread that still haven't been named (or seen again)
/edit actually the manga is kinda impressive in how willing it is to sideline characters for whole arcs in favour of getting its focus right. Like the School Camp arc obviously was focused on the students + the cats + eraserhead/blood king, but the Rescue Arc is all about the A-Listers and a very small subset of the students. Ochako was sidelined for both the Stain arc and the Rescue arc so far, as was Tsuyu.

Ahh DTL, your tastes are so transparent. Never change.
Bakugou and his Merry Friends is definitely his group name.
Another thing I like about MHA is how hero offices have like 65 sidekicks. Lmao. Batman is probably the most prolific in regular comics and he's only got, like, 15. Until Batman Inc I guess.
Actually, let's check.
Robin I / Nightwing (Dick Grayson)
Robin II / Red Hood (Jason Todd)
Robin III / Red Robin (Tim Drake)
Robin IV / Spoiler / Batgirl IV (Stephanie Brown)
Robin V (Damien Wayne)
Batgirl I / Oracle (Barbara Gordon)
Batgirl III / Black Bat (Cassandra Cain)
Official sidekicks tally in at 7 (8 if you count Batman V, Terry McGinnis), not counting Batman Inc characters or more independent members of the Batfamily who never started out as sidekicks (Alfred, Batwoman (Kate Kane), Batman II (Jean Paul Valley), Huntress etc).

"Fake" Heroes have 65 sidekicks.
The memes of "Stain did nothing wrong" are going to be outpouring during season 2.

You shoosh.
Hey now, you have to know I'm a huge fan of Tsuyu. I'm glad she's getting more of the spotlight.
Class A-1 was a sausage fest in the planning stages, so Horikoshi fixed it by swapping some students, like Tsuyu and Hagakure.
The major staff characters so far are All Might, Midnight, Aizawa, Present Mic, the Principal, and Recovery Girl, so I'm guessing the staff wasn't balanced the same way. Not as many important characters.
Well yeah, they're rushjobs I think.

Always read the whichever comes out first MF or MS then wait for FA for the quality translations.
