The Hero Public Safety Commission (HSPC) in My Hero Academia has long been portrayed as a flawed, often corrupt organization tasked with overseeing heroes, managing public safety, and handling high-threat villains. Their decision to imprison All for One (AFO) in Tartarus rather than execute him after his defeat by All Might at Kamino is a prime example of their shortsightedness, overconfidence, and potential ulterior motives. This choice not only undermines All Might's sacrifice but also directly contributes to the catastrophic Tartarus breakout, the release of countless dangerous villains, and the emergence of dual AFO threats (the original body and the vestige within Tomura Shigaraki).

1. Overreliance on Tartarus as an "Inescapable" Prison

Tartarus is designed as a maximum-security facility for villains deemed too dangerous for standard incarceration, where conditions are intentionally harsher than death—solitary confinement, constant surveillance, and quirk-suppressing measures. The HSPC views it as a fate worse than execution, punishing criminals by forcing them to "reflect" on their crimes indefinitely.

However, this ignores the obvious risks: AFO is a master manipulator with centuries of experience, vast quirk knowledge, and a network of loyal followers (including the League of Villains and Nomus). Even the remotest chance of escape should have been unacceptable, especially since AFO's defeat was public and his survival could inspire villainy. Fan discussions highlight how the HSPC's faith in Tartarus blinded them to AFO's ability to plan breakouts remotely, as seen when he commands Nomus to free him shortly after the Paranormal Liberation War.

Resulting idiocy: The breakout not only frees AFO but also triggers mass escapes from six other prisons, plunging Japan into anarchy. This invalidates All Might's final use of One for All, as AFO regains power and merges his influence with Shigaraki.

2. Hypocritical Stance on Executions Despite a History of Extrajudicial Killings

The HSPC has no qualms about authorizing assassinations without due process. They groomed agents like Lady Nagant to eliminate threats—corrupt heroes, villains, and even political figures—to preserve the heroic facade. Nagant was tasked with secret killings to "maintain public trust," showing the Commission's willingness to bypass laws for "greater good." They even imprisoned Nagant in Tartarus (rather than executing her) after she rebelled, to silence potential leaks about their corruption.

Yet, with AFO—a villain responsible for generations of chaos—they opt for imprisonment. Why? One key reason is publicity: AFO's battle with All Might was broadcast nationwide, making him a high-profile case. The HSPC conducts dirty work in secret to avoid scrutiny, but executing AFO publicly (or even quietly) could spark rumors, backlash, or questions about their authority, especially if Japan’s legal system in the MHA world mirrors real-life delays in death penalty cases. Political pressure from groups (e.g., those tied to Re-Destro) advocating against prisoner executions may have also played a role.

Moronic element: This hypocrisy exposes their incompetence. They execute lesser threats covertly but spare the greatest one due to optics or bureaucracy, despite having the tools (e.g., quirk-based assassins) to end him while he's unconscious post-Kamino.

3. Underestimation of AFO's Threat Level and Potential for Immortality or Escape

AFO's quirk arsenal includes possible immortality or regeneration abilities, making conventional execution risky—he survived All Might's full-power attacks twice. Fans theorize he might have quirks that activate upon death or allow revival, rendering killing him ineffective without thorough study. The HSPC likely delayed execution to interrogate him for intel on his quirk-stealing empire, stolen powers, and the Nomu program, prioritizing information over immediate elimination.

However, this assumes they could contain him long enough, ignoring his history of ruling from shadows and deep government ties (speculated in fan circles as reasons he wasn't killed outright). The Commission's corruption—treating people as disposable tools—may have led them to view AFO as a potential asset for quirk research, similar to how they might have imprisoned Nomus for experimentation rather than destruction.

Resulting fallout: AFO's escape proves their arrogance; he not only breaks free but empowers Shigaraki, creating a "two AFOs" scenario where the vestige amplifies the physical threat. This chaos could have been averted with swift execution while he was vulnerable.

4. Broader Corruption and Ulterior Motives Fueling the Decision

The HSPC's corruption runs deep: They manipulate heroes (e.g., recruiting child agents like Hawks), abet corrupt ones (like Endeavor's abuses), and prioritize image over safety. After Kamino, they underestimated the League's growth, focusing on optics rather than decisive action.

Your speculation about using AFO for their own ends aligns with fan theories: The government/HSPC might have wanted to harness his quirk-duplication knowledge or study captured Nomus (AFO's bio-engineered soldiers, some of which were imprisoned rather than euthanized) for military advantages. Keeping him alive could enable experiments on returning stolen quirks or countering quirk singularities—self-serving goals that backfired spectacularly.

Why moronic? This reflects the HSPC's pattern of short-term thinking and moral decay. They sacrifice long-term stability for potential gains, as seen when their downfall during the war leaves Japan without coordinated hero support. Post-series, Hawks' takeover hints at reform, but the damage from AFO's survival is irreversible.

In summary, the HSPC's choice reeks of incompetence: They had the precedent, means, and opportunity to execute AFO but chose imprisonment due to overconfidence, legal excuses, and possible corruption-driven agendas. This not only wastes All Might's legacy but unleashes unprecedented destruction, proving the Commission's "safety" mandate is a facade. Fan consensus views it as plot-driven for tension, but in-universe, it's a glaring failure of leadership.

Nezu is way too suspicious.

His Quirk allows him to cause chain reactions, a fact explicitly stated by Midnight, who also made sure to remind us that he holds a grudge against humans. We don’t know the full extent of his abilities, but we do know that his foresight is extensive—so much so that he planned specific routes for Kaminari and Mina to take during a crisis. That suggests his influence is incredibly far-reaching.

And Midnight? The only UA staff member who isn’t around anymore. Suspicious.

Now, let’s talk about Nezu’s involvement in key events:

1. The USJ Attack

• He’s one of the few who knew about AM’s Quirk, its limitations, and how little time he had left.

• Nezu deliberately held up All Might, making him even later to the attack than he was already going to be.

• If Nezu wasn’t directly involved in setting up the attack, he at the very least played a role in ensuring AM wouldn’t be there in time to prevent it.

2. The Successor Plot

• Nezu was part of the selection process for AM’s successor, encouraging him to choose a UA student before Deku even entered the picture.

• He personally voted for Deku’s acceptance into the Hero Course.

• He knew Deku and Katsuki were from the same middle school, likely remembered them from the sludge incident(which was in the paper) and saw that they some of the highest scores in separate categories.

• Then, he placed them in the same class and observed their very complicated relationship firsthand.

3. The Sports Festival & Its Consequences

• He allowed Katsuki to be tied up on live in an event that replaced the Olympics in popularity.

• Which directly led to him gaining the League of Villains’ interest.

• At the same time, this put Katsuki on Jeanist’s radar—setting up a future mentor-student relationship.

• All of this put even more pressure on Katsuki, forcing him to prove himself.

4. The Training Camp

• Nezu was one of the very few people who knew the camp’s secret location

Possibly even picked the location

Was in charge of many pros would be there.

Was vastly easier to kidnap Katsuki in this setting rather than the other failed attempts

AM conveniently wasn’t present.

(Frankly I think these play a big role than one student leaking the location)

5. Katsuki’s rescue and AM’s Retirement

• led directly to AM refacing AFO instead of the LOV

He then burnt out the last embers of his power, forcing him to retire.

• This intensified Katsuki’s suspicions about AM and Deku, making him dig deeper into their relationship.

• The guilt lessened Katsuki’s performance during the Provisional License Exam, which he failed—leaving him out of the work studies.

6. The Ripple Effects on Katsuki & Deku

• Because Katsuki wasn’t eligible for work studies, he missed Deku’s battle with Chisaki.

• This fight also cemented Deku’s personal investment in Eri, and reinforced his need to break rules for the sake of others.

• Deku’s actions, in turn, saved UA’s reputation by overshadowing another potential scandal.

6. The Long-Term Setup

• Jeanist was taken out of commission during Katsuki’s rescue, freeing him up for later.

• Nezu actively discouraged his staff from searching for a traitor among them.

• He finally implemented the UA dorm system, something he had been advocating for but never acted on—until now.

• He reassured AM that if nothing suspicious happened after the students moved into the dorms, then there was nothing to worry about.

7. The Final Stage: The War Arc & Beyond

• By the time of the war, Katsuki had matured emotionally and was able to fight alongside Deku for the first time in a villain attack.

• He had also become even more deeply connected to Deku, setting the stage for their intertwined fates.

8. Nezu’s Endgame?

And here’s what fucks me up the most—Nezu easily agreed to let the students ambush Endeavor and hunt Deku down.

It was never even a question whether that was in his power, Uraraka knew it would be, so it’s just common knowledge? 🤨

But how does he have the power to do that, like imagine being one of the leaders heading off a fascist uprising and your sons hs principal demands you come in and you have to because you used to go to school there???

And then UA becomes the shelter during the war, but it doesn’t come as like government mandate, it’s Nezus choice something he does as a concerned and caring individual

In the end nearly everyone who rebuilds society is a UA alumni, and Deku, the face of the war, now works there!!

So society has an intense gratitude to UA for holding them during the war, an intense admiration for producing all these heros, and there’s apparently a rule/law(?) that you are beholden to your old principles meetings even when the worlds ending 💀

Nezu owns society and he planned it!!!

"Hidden Infatuation."

Feeding the AFOFA fans with A1 stuffs I made today.

A bit HC, where AFO is too freaking dense and Yoichi gets a little bit obssessive and greedy on his brother's attention.

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, heh?
