im thinking thats pretty much canon at this point and waiting for confirmation. what other reason would there be that just so happenly dekus doctor/pediatrician was the same guy collecting quirks for afo? and that could have very well been a chopped x-ray photo, its not rocket science for the the doctor to have just shown him a different image than what his foot really looked like
Well, looking at how he can lose his arms and two chapters later there is no consequences whatsoever and he has them again, this manga can do whatever it wants and readers will take it at face value.
It would be better if he was quirkless, then the story would make it's point till the end. If he had a quirk? Bro, it would be chalked up to "of course he was a hero! He had a quirk even if it was stolen!". Just leave him quirkless and show that he can still be a hero like they tell us the whole manga, please
i agree 100% and would prefer it much more if he was originally quirkless like you said - but ALSO like you said, seeing the way horikoshi tells his story and there are seemingly no permanent consequences and everything has a convoluted backstory/meaning behind it (todorokis and dabi, iida and stain, shiggy and afo, the kid with wings that picked on deku when they were little, kurogiri being shirakumo), i dont think its wrong to think deku having his own quirk is where this is leading. i do agree it muddles the whole message of "you can be a hero even if youre quirkless" but deadass give me any other reason why doc would have just coincidentally been dekus doctor. there are no coincidences in this story this far man
to be honest
People going on about Deku and his "original quirk" being taken away and possibly gaining it back... what the fuck are y'all taking about??
Isn't it like... you literally can see in their anatomy that they are quirkless? Bros, chill out
