#bnha speculation

Shoto's panel in 422 is quite interesting:

It's placed after the push by Iida and after Ochako's line - physically, he must be closest to Deku, just at the origin point of his last jump

Among a sea of "ganbare", Shoto gets no line.

Unlike the others, he doesn't visibly push Izuku forward

He seems to have Phosphor going, which he didn't in the previous chapter

So to me, it strongly feels like a set-up panel to something that's yet to happen. My best guesses:

Option 1 - Shoto provides back-up to Izuku to be his "reassuring hero" too

Option 2 - We'll get a TDDK combo with a recall to their SF fight Option 3 - We'll get an Origin Trio combo with Tenko, the last Origin character, finishing off AFO's vestige.

knowing the spoiler led me do knowing more spoilers which i don't mind... and i'm half conviced afo is deku's father and that's not even what the spoilers are about... literally a fanfic led me to believing this concept and then the writer was like "yeah, i don't really believe this theory," all while managing to convince me... ugh, i just REALLY don't want it to be true, but afo is insaneeee like he totally would steal his own kid's quirk if given the opportunity... but also he believes in sibling supremacy and izu is an only child! so there is still hope, but also even if afo isn't his bio donor, it's still possible he took his quirk somehow... but i really like the idea of deku being quirkless naturally, sometimes were born different and that's okay

Everyone freaking out about about this official art:

Being foreshadowing for Deku leaving in chapter 306

Just remember that this is ALSO official art:

Y’all better say BakuBYE because theres no way this boy is letting Deku go off to be a hero alone. He’s already said as much.

Seriously y'all, I really don't think anyone in the LoV knew there was a student feeding them information. AfO holds his secrets close and doesn't reveal anything to anyone unless it's the right time. He didn't even tell Shigaraki about OfA until the war arc, and whenever he mentions having "friends" he never reveals who until it's the right time.

So, this moment with Aoyama

is also a commentary on Dabi. It's called a "Save the cat" moment.

Also, the fact that Aoyama shot a laser at them and made Mr. Compress drop the marbles with the students in them is huge. The League wasn't shown to be angry or betrayed by this action. If they new Aoyama was on their side, they would have been pissed at that set back, especially Shigaraki. And there was no way Aoyama could have known Dabi would catch Bakugo's marble at all, let alone before Shouto did.

Basically, AFO treats the people who work for him (or that he manipulates) as puppets, only telling them the bare minimum they need to know. Aoyama has probably never spoken to anyone in the League.

This is my : "can we talk about the Dawn of the quirks era? I'm dying to talk about the Dawn of the quirks era"moment so let's take a look at the technological design that the world went through after it

Now, this is a detail that twitter user nakamafor made a thread about but basically the place being bombed by AFO followers in chp 193 have a strong resemblance with a Research and Development Lab located in Tokyo(after trying to take a closer look I noticed it's the Koatsu Lab or so it seems)

So it seems like the rebels 2nd was leading had some allies, heck maybe even some members, helping them develop their own support itens and guns which bring us to the gaunlets 2nd is using:

Those are quite lean and well designed aren't they? It works pretty nicely for his quirk which considering the context of this era and the feelings people had regarding meta powers/quirks it's a quite an achievement for support itens

Now let's compare with the support itens All Might used

Hech the itens Power Loader is using and the ones Yoroi Musha used prove what All Might said regarding the technology on supporting itens. Bulky and otherwise

Now if we also take a look at the technology available for common civilians the most they got for cutting edge technology is...some hollograms.

They are still using normal cellphones and cars even though we had seen a few pro heroes using flying cars in the background. Uraraka even uses a flip phone :')

I am just going through all of this rambling to say: bro the technology straight up stagnated and the level of scientific and engineering development the rebels had available for them is only getting a comeback now and even then it's restricted for heroics so it doesn't reflect how into the future the events taking place truly are

OH AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ALL THE ROBOTS AND STUFF GOING ON IN UA or i will ramble even more :')

Hawks: One for all? What is that?

Bakugou, finally leaving his hidden spot behind the wall: ok listen nerds! Previously in bnha.

You know what I just thought of that gets forgotten a lot I the DadFO theory that adds to it?

Yoichi Shigaraki- first user of OFA and AFO's little brother- has the same eye color as Izuku.

I think it gets overlooked because Inko has green eyes too but I would like to make a mention that Inko has a noticeably darker eye color than Izuku, and Izuku's eyes more closely resemble Yoichi's.
