That's kind of the crux of why I don't like the idea; whatever hardships in his past, you can't say that ultimately his life won't be better for how things are than if they never happened.
If the story actually did go the route of "strange things happen, but this was actually a blessing in a way" that could work, but I don't think that's what most people are actually thinking.

Bewitching EyesAlso I had to skip like ten pages but there was a note of huge ambiguity to Shigaraki's past, right? Not just me?
Forever liveblogging the Avengersyeah
One does get the impression that if All for One took off his mask he'd have 'Svengali' tattooed on his forehead

Bewitching EyesAs I've said I don't like the "All For One took Izuku's Quirk" theories for a variety of reasons, but on the off chance that he decides to go the route of "One For All somehow made the Quirk he would have had show up" I might be more open to that. Still not totally sold, though.
If something like that were to happen, I could see him talking the vestige of All Might about it. It could give him a purpose like the others, who presumably will all get a chance to talk to Izuku about what their Quirks are.
Edit: And, yeah, I don't see how tempting Izuku with a former Quirk at all. Even if he didn't have One For All and these six other Quirks I wouldn't see him going for that, let alone with them. And All For One would definitely realize there wouldn't even be a point in trying.

Not just you. We all took note that there's still a large number of holes and coincidences about the entire thing. While most people are against it, the idea that One For All was more involved in what happened to Shiragaki's parent's deaths then he's letting on is on the table.
One Strip! One Strip!Honestly I tend to play Devil's Advocate for some theories that I think might have an interesting angle to offer (or, at least, follow along with Horikoshi's Shout-Out tendencies), but i just read a theory that Bakugou, through some sort of TimeTravel shenanigans, ends up being one of the previous holders
and I just. Can't.
Granted, Horikoshi practically traced Bakugou's model for one of the previous holders' silhouettes, but I'd rather attribute that to him being on a time crunch and not having time to come up with one.

I haven't seen that theory, but I'm not surprised it exists, for the reason you said.
Edit: The bit about how Horikoshi could be reusing and old character from a previous, cancelled, series (a female one) is interesting though. He has done that before.
I do find it funny how that person claims Bakugo actually being one of the silhouettes the "simplest answer" and then proceed to lay out an elaborate time-travel theory. Though, they do acknowledge that.

That was impressively unconvincing.
Most of the theories in this fandom (and all others to be fair) is of the "fling shit at wall, see a little sticks, yell about success" kind. They are forced, reaching and takes massive leaps, but we have so many some of them will end up being right, fueling more crackpot theories down the line. Yeah, some traitor theory is going to be true because we have so many variants ONE of them has to be.
Well, those are the best kind my friend.

It's kind of inevitable, but also partially why I don't bother looking at them for most things.
Going on this theory though, seeing how we've seen Izuku can actually talk to the vestiges, and they can show him things in the past, that would basically defeat the point of any time-travel things. And since the grander point seemed to just be to force Bakugo into having One For All for some fanfiction made real deal, yeah, I wasn't into it.
Edited by LSBK on Mar 30th 2019 at 5:51:13 AM
Well, it does involve something being emitted from one's mouth, like Izuku's dad... and it involves moving things like Izuku's mom...
Hmmm. Let me think about this for a second.

Really, the idea just has major conceptual flaws. Even assuming a time-travel Quirk exists (which it easily could) unless Kirishima and Bakugo are spending years in the past, the theory basically amounts to "they each independently got the power, then gave it to someone else before meaningfully doing anything."
It's trying to explain the silhouette away, in way that doesn't actually meaningfully add anything, and would just be for pure shock value.
Meh, rather for the theory that those two were Villains back in their time and the reason they're hiding in the shadows, could be due to them being recognizable villains in-verse. Which might freak Deku out if caught unprepared with the revelation that OFA passed down through not just heroes...
So they'll just let the others ease him up first with their quirk-tutorials until that time comes...

If John's quirk was originally Midoriya's then i'd say Ujiko did him a favor by taking it, it's just plain gross.
