Summary

Like many anime protagonists , My Hero Academia ’s Izuku Midoriya has a very absent father – so absent , in fact , that while he ’s known to be alive , he has yet to appear in the manga ’s more than 400 chapters . Will fans get to meet Deku ’s don before the series cease ?

Back at an show atSan Diego Comic Con in 2018 , series God Almighty Kohei Horikoshi responded to a question about Deku ’s father , tell that " Deku ’s father will be reveal in the future . " It ’s been five year since then , and Deku ’s father still persist a mystery as far as the manga is concerned .

While Deku ’s beginner is n’t vital to the patch , rooter have grown curious about him and his extended absence , even throughout all the disasters Japan has suffer in the serial publication . WithMy Hero Academia’sfinale growing ever closer , though , the opportunities for Deku ’s father to show up have become few and far between , with there really only being one possible office where he could still appear .

Deku’s Father Would Best Be Used in an Epilogue

piffling is be intimate about Deku ’s father . His name isHisashi Midoriya , and he ’s aver to have a fire - breathing Quirk . According to an extra in volume 11 , he ’s supposedly out traveling abroad on job , explain why he ’s never at home . However , Hisashi never appear in Midoriya ’s flashbacks to childhood , either . Deku ’s mother , Inko , seems to have stir him mostly by herself , to the point where his father rarely even factors into Deku ’s decision - devising . He never seems to compose to or call his male parent , either ; it ’s wholly possible that Hisashi Midoriya is n’t even aware thatIzuku entered UA or inherit One for All .

My Hero Academia ’s late chapter teases a popular theory about Shigaraki ’s quirk may be true , hinting his redemption is ineluctable .

There is still one good hazard for Deku ’s father to play a role , however . With the final battle looming , it ’s pretty common for manga likeMy Hero Academiato have an epilogue chapter , set after everything is said and done to show how the paladin ' life sentence have build since their story cease .

My Hero Academia: Deku and Eri

Midoriya ’s father arriving back in Japan once the dust has root , only to learn that his son is now one of the expectant heroes that the world has ever seen , would actually make for a fairly knock-down ending , specially with theme of family already factor out intoMy Hero Academia ’s endingthrough the Todoroki kinship group .

What Revealing Deku’s Father Could Mean for the Series

Family does n’t just toy a role in the Todoroki plot line ; Shigaraki ’s turbulent relationship with his own Church Father is what spurred his start of dark , so there ’s reasonableness to think that Deku ’s father could have some play in the finale . In late chapters ofMy Hero Academia , Shigaraki and Deku ’s mental realms are lead off to intermingle together , causing memories for one to become visible to the other . It ’s possible Hisashi Midoriya could finally be present via memory in this room , allowing Shigaraki to see what Deku ’s relationship with his Padre is like .

There ’s only one salient My Hero Academia villain who has yet to play a role in the Final War arc , and the clip for his arrival might be at script .

Of naturally , if it ’s too have it off of a relationship , it could border empty . After all , if Hisashi cares about Deku so much , where has he been all this time ? It may be uncover that Hisashi is not a salutary Father of the Church at all , and his absenteeism is just one symptom of that . Such a reveal could have a profound gist on Shigaraki , proving to him that it ’s possible to endure a bad beginner and still turn out good . Such a reveal is unlikely to stop Shigaraki , but it ’s enough to premise doubt , and maybe even provide an chess opening to get through to him for existent .

My Hero Academia - All For One

depend on the quality of father Hisashi turns out to be , his reveal could be quite thematically appropriate . It ’s plebeian for shonen heroes to have absent parents , whether due to disregard , disappearing or dying . Shonen also often has big come - of - geezerhood themes , and induce that growth into an adult recognized by one ’s father is the ultimate goal of many a shonen hero . Whether bad or good , Deku would be able-bodied to turn out to Hisashi the kind of man he has become , even without his influence .

Deku Has Become One Of The World’s Best Heroes Without His Father’s Help

It would n’t make much common sense for Hisashi to show up any earlier than that , as he ’s not a hero and could n’t help with the fight itself , so an epilogue scene where he appears is jolly much the only opportunity for Deku ’s founder to still be shown . With the end ofMy Hero Academia ’s storey fill up in , though , fans wo n’t have to wait too much longer to find out if Deku ’s father will ever appear in the manga .
