Realised, I’ve never done this post and with the Manga being on break (right after Tomura pulled his fun little stunt) I figured, why the hell not. Predictions on Kai Chisaki’s future plot relevance and backstory:

‘Cause while I can indeed never stop malding about the fact that Hori brought my blorbo back but didn’t follow up on it, I actually have genuine reason to believe that his backstory will become relevant in the upcoming confrontation.

Why is that? Well, essentially because of the conversation Deku had with the former OFA users’ vestiges. In the conversation he reveals that while fighting Tomura he saw that on the inside there was a part that needed saving and that thus he wanted to help him. He is still pursuing that goal in canon right now.

However, more importantly to my point is that Deku continues that thought process further and explains that he’s realised he fought many villains in the past but never explored their motivations. [ch 305]

The villains depicted here specifically are Muscular, Stain, Gentle Criminal and La Brava, and finally Overhaul. In the following chapters all of them have made an appearance thus far and the readers got more of a glance into this underlying motivation Deku is addressing here.

Muscular has directly fought Deku and pressed that he simply was motivated by a desire for violence and there wasn’t more to it. [ch 307+308]

Stain on the other hand aided the heroes by providing them information from his stay in Tartarus and also gave Yagi a personal pep talk to remind him of what is truly inspiring about All Might. [ch 326]

Gentle Criminal and LaBrava had their moment very recently, with Gentle experiencing a change of heart in face of the mass-breakout disaster and the two of them actively deciding to fight on the hero's side in the war. [ch. 378+379]

Chisaki has also made an appearance, albeit in a remarkably broken and mentally dissociative state. We learn a little about him. Mainly that he’s given up on his ambitions, that he cares little for revenge and that his mind is now obsessed with nothing but the idea of returning to the boss and apologising to him. He even got to meet Deku who demands for Chiaki to extend his need to apologise to Eri. [ch 315+316]

Chisaki speaking to Eri, perhaps even apologising to her, is a huge deal for both of their characters. It puts the conclusion of the Overhaul arc into a whole new perspective, and could serve a lot of purposes such as providing closure for Eri, or addressing the developments both have gone through since last seeing each other ( For example, how Eri has grown more confident, while in contrast Overhaul rapidly deteriorated. ).

However so far, none of this has happened. The storythread was left on a cliffhanger and I would assume that Hori is keenly aware of this.

In conclusion the big “Deku explores Chisaki’s secret motivation” event is most likely still coming, and my guess is that is most likely around the time he apologises to Eri, or tries to at least. And there is a lot to unpack, as I have previously already pointed out. To this day there is essentially nothing we know about Kai’s origin;

Why was he abandoned as a child on the streets?

Why he hates quirks so passionately.

Why he appears to hate his own name.

But why is this relevant to the future plot? Well, now we come to the speculatory part. From what I am seeing, the Manga points in one direction; that the encounter of Chisaki attempting to apologise to Eri, along with Chisaki’s backstory, will be retold in a flashback during the Tomura VS Deku fight. Because some part of the experience Deku has made there will help him get through to Tomura as Chisaki’s childhood backstory leads back to All For One.

( Yes, bemoan it together with me. “ Why does almost every villain origin story in mha have to relate back to All For One? “ I hate it but I suppose it comes with the territory. )

The reason why I believe All For One is involved is greatly due to this one image:

When it was revealed in Chapter 350, that Dabi had in fact been saved from dying by All For One who wanted to use him, we were given an exclusive glimpse into this facility. Ujiko described it to be a place where AFO kept backup children to replace Tenko/Tomura just in case. As the image above shows, the facility has a more than striking similarity to a place Chisaki was shown to have been in as a child. [ch 158] About the Chisaki panel we had never been given any context; whether it was set before or after Chisaki had joined the Yakuza, or where it was set. However it was strongly implied that it was around that time that he learnt about the theory of quirks being considered a sickness, which became ingrained in his motivation and his entire character.

Considering these two much too similar looking settings, we can assume that most likely Kai formerly had been a child under the clutches of All For One.

Now, for those of you who’ve heard of the theory that Chisaki was there at the same time as Touya, I will quickly clarify that this is not possible without time travel. Chisaki is several years older than Touya, who was apparently around 18 at the time he woke up in that facility. That would mean Chisaki was in his twenties, and thus it only happened many many years after he’d joined the Yakuza. After all, the boss had picked him up when he was still a child.

However, I want to continue this thought of age to remind further; Chisaki is in fact also 7 years older than Tenko. Looking at the child the boss had picked up from the streets, I believe it is safe to say he was not much older than 7 years old, which would mean he was in All For One’s clutch even before Tenko was born. In conclusion this would make young Kai not just a potential backup for Tomura Shigaraki, but rather a child intended for the position even before Tenko was part of the equation. This is my currently standing theory.

This of course all just speculation, but it certainly wouldn’t be beyond AFO to suggest to a child that quirks are a curse upon humanity in order to manipulate him, and it certainly wouldn’t come as a surprise that Kai had grown up in such a toxic environment previously to joining the Yakuza. Going back to narrative purpose, the experiences he would have had in that case would also certainly provide Deku a unique insight to help him understand how to help Tenko/Tomura and how to defeat AFO.

Considering all this I want to close by pointing out a small tidbit from the start of the Overhaul arc [ ch 125 ] that gets a rather different tone in this context. During their first meeting with Overhaul, Tomura tells the league of villains that All For One had in fact already talked to him about this particular Yakuza, as though he was giving a warning. It is a little strange considering how they also talk in length about how the Yakuza have fallen out of relevancy. Even Overhaul himself admits that he struggled to finance himself because of how little people took them seriously.

So why would All For One of all people pay attention to a “little Yakuza throwback”? That is unless he had a bit more of a personal history with Kai Chisaki.

Man, how horrible it must have felt for Dabi that his family didn't recognize him, knowing he was made from others kids and people's body parts, knowing he was not completely Touya, knowing they had mourned that kid long ago...

And knowing his family just stop talking about him, just stop mentioning him, just erased him...

I can't. The smile on Toga's face when Jin saved her and the shock and the pain when she realized what was happening. The way Compress stops completely, freezes. The way Jin dies smiling.

Genuinely, fuck everyone who says the League of Villains is not a friend group/family.

They might not be the healthiest one, might be complicated, but there was love and friendship and grief and pain. There was happiness too, a sort they didn't think they could experience again. Loyalty and company, joy and comprehension. Anger amd hurt, there was life. They were alive.

Dead by society, but alive together.

1) Shouto is the only being in the entire planet that can't be hurt by Touya, thanks to his new powers.

2) Not only that, but he's the only one capable of enduring his flames AND applying his quirk as a countermeasure to make sure Touya won't hurt himself too.

That means Dabi will never be too much for his little brother. There's nothing Dabi could throw at Shouto that Shouto couldn't stand. It is, Dabi found someone able to support him through the good and the bad without hurting himself or the other.

Think about that for a minute.

Friendly reminder that both Tenko and Touya fought back even after losing everything.

Tenko walked for days, alone and covered in blood through the streets, before AFO found him. He was beaten up and ignored, mostly because he looked scary, even if he was just a child.

Touya ran away after three years of being in coma. He rejected the idea of having a better body and made his way home, even with how weak he was. And then he found the same abuse, even worst if anything, happening in a room beside his altar.

Tenko and Touya were both full of regret. They never wanted to hurt their families. They didn't want to end up like that. They loved their families, their siblings and parents. They wanted to be good, they wanted to be enough.

And when Tenko tried to reach Kotaro to get protected, Kotaro hit him in the face.

And when Touya tried to ask his father for a day off to be with him, Enji only told him he was too busy.

And when they tried to get help, they realized society was rotten. No one wanted to help, there was only the cycle of violence. They were merely victims, more victims, two victims. And they were dead and gone, for society. Two little kids lost in a sea because it happens, sometimes heroes can't save them, it doesn't matter if normal people could have helped them a lot, because normal people doesn't have to help each other, that's for pro-heroes, right?

My #1 post of 2022

Now please remember Dabi's reaction to seeing how Toga's parents cleaned up her entire room, erasing her existence, before leaving the house. How there were writings everywhere remembering her how bad she was, how little she was worth, how much she deserved everything she was going through.

Please remember how he burned down that house and immediately went to her, to remind her that he did care, that Twice cared, that the League cared. And please remember that in that moment, she called him Touya and told him he was in fact very kind.

"Just support quirks" my ass

Deku is literally throwing Muscular around like a sack of potatoes with Blackwhip so I think it's safe to say he's made the predecessors quirks stronger than they were originally

I am loving this solo deku arc. I am loving that he can now directly speak with the vestiges, I am loving how he's unlocking and using his new quirks in a clever way instead of just punching, I am loving how badass he looks, I am loving he is trying to understand his villains and their motivations I just love him so much and he deserves his own arc its about time
