Who Really Stole Deku‘s Quirk? An In-Depth Investigation
Hey fellow anime fans! As a passionate gamer and content creator, I wanted to provide some sweet insider info on the crazy theory about Dr. Garaki stealing Deku‘s quirk. Stick with me as I walk through the deets and share my own hot takes on this wild speculation!
So First Things First…
It‘s believed that the villain Dr. Garaki (also known as Daruma Ujiko) stole Deku‘s original quirk when he was just a little dude. I know, whaaat?? This cheeseball-looking mad scientist potentially swiped our hero‘s powers? Let‘s break this down…
Evidence Exhibit A: Garaki‘s Long History of Quirk Theft
- Dr. G has been stealing quirks from kids for years to give to his big bad boss, All For One, or All For One‘s successors
- He specifically looks for rare, powerful, or useful quirks to add to All For One‘s collection
- Total creep move, but fits with his whole evil scientist vibe, ya know?
My take: It makes total sense that if Garaki discovered a baby Deku with an awesome quirk, he‘d want to snag that power for his own twisted plans!
Evidence Exhibit B: The Sketchy "Diagnosing" Doctor
- When Deku meets with the doctor who claims he‘s quirkless, the doc acts mad suspicious
- Deku says he had a freaky smile that gave him the heebie jeebies as a kid
- Fans realized this sounds exactly like Garaki‘s signature creepazoid grin 😬
- So the theory is that this diagnosing doctor was actually Garaki in disguise! Twist!
So the question is: Did this phony doctor steal Deku‘s quirk for Garaki, or was he Garaki all along? X-Files theme song
Evidence Exhibit C: Passing On The Torch…Er, Quirk
- Most fans think Garaki snatched Deku‘s quirk to give to his master, All For One
- But All For One already had a literal arsenal of quirks – so why would he need another?
- Some believe All For One passed on Deku‘s epic stolen quirk to his successor, Tomura Shigaraki
- It would be a pretty useful power up for quirkless little Shiggy
Now THAT would be an insane plot twist! Could our protagonist and antagonist have once shared the same quirk? Food for thought!
So What Do You Think? Cast Your Vote!
I decided to make a quick poll so you guys can share your take on this theory. Do you think Garaki stole Deku‘s quirk? And if so, who did he give it to? Vote below and see what other fans think!
The Evidence Sure Seems to Add Up!
When you step back and look at all the evidence, the theory starts making more and more sense:
- Dr. Garaki has means and motive for stealing powerful quirks
- He disguises himself and has a history of lying and manipulation
- His trademark creepy smile matches Deku‘s description of the "diagnosing" doctor
- He could have given the quirk to All For One or Shigaraki
Seems feasible to me! But until the manga confirms, fans can only speculate and share theories…which is all part of the fun!
