/* Boku no hero academia == BNHA
*One punch man == OPM
/*

Theory:
According to my theory, OPM and BNHA happens in the same universe but just with different timelines. There are many similarities but there are several differences too!

Timeline:

OPM happens first and then many many years later BNHA happens, as in BNHA almost everybody have super powers not the case in OPM.

Similarities:

1. Both BNHA and Opm have hero associations. And by the people's trust in heros in BNHA, I'll have to say that the hero association or the society which depends on heroes for protection has been present for many years, thus many years gap b/w timelines also such kind of mutation which can evolve a species to that extant needs time!

2.Both OPM and BNHA have people with almost similar super powers! And even if not similar their extant or the physics behind those powers(in their universe) are almost the same!

Differences:

1.No "monsters"! Well yeah... in BNHA we have not seen such "monsters", maybe in OPM they end up killing all the monsters and maybe it is because of the monsters that the human race started to evolve so quickly!

2.In BNHA, they said that the first child with super power was born in china n he was glowing or something. Well, Its possible that a such child was born in OPM timeline as before saitama there were people who had super powers.

Conclusion:
You cannot ignore these points and thus I came up with my THEORY!

I'm going to rub butter all over myself and run around naked with my eyes closed and see where I end up. I will be sure to post in this thread about my experiences whenever the situation has been resolved.

It is related because I'm going to blame this theory as being the reason why I did so if I get taken in by the police.

There is no base for this theory just because there are some similar things in both universes in no proof that they are the same.
Also the powers in One Punch man work compleatly different breaking limiters etc there is no such thing in bhna.

B-b-but.. OP said "You cannot ignore these points".
Shame on you for breaking the 1 rule in his thread.
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime.

Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language.

Manime Matt just made a video about this yesterday. https://youtu.be/7tp7k1Ccdeg It's an interesting theory but there isn't any proof.

Damn!!! I chose Yes before reading OP's description and now i regret it.

If BNHA occurs in future then its superheroes should be more powerful then the OPM's. But thats not the case clearly.

why not a "why not" option or "neutral" cause thats what Id pick I won't say yes or not with just that, well same for any theory

anyway it's pretty interesting indeed and it would make a bit of sense.

lmao. Next thing you know they're both part of the DC universe because there are hero associations and similar superpowers there as well.

That's one of the weakest-ass theories I ever got to witness tbh. There's more merit to discussing whether the moon landing was fake or whether steel really melts at those temperatures...
I probably regret this post by now.

What you may not know is that FBI created MAL a few years ago to identify potential criminals so they can arrest them before they commit a crime. That's why there have been disappearances of many MAL's users through the years, so please if I never come back , you'll know what happened , please tell my waifus I love them.

This is so stupid, both anime have different authors and different plotlines. Just because they are similar doesn't mean the take place in the same universe. If just for this reason you could say all anime that share similarities take place in the same universe.

I just want to start out by saying the theory that Monster Musume and OPM took place in the same universe was more thought out than this.

As for your theory itself it ignores a lot of basic features. The biggest one being the explanation of powers. In BNHA it says there is a first recorded quirk meaning that there was no evidence of super powers prior which you referenced. They even theorize that despite not knowing where quirks came from it was possibly a virus spread from rats. They even say that infant was directly correlated to the huge spikes of quirks being produced. To overcome that discrepancy your explanation was that OPM both takes place in the distant past and in the present timeline which makes no sense since it literally contradicts your explanation for monsters. In addition everyone in BNHA (with the exception of all for one users) were born with their quirk/powers and they're considered unique amongst each user. In OPM conversely people could become heroes through hard work and training, some were born with special talents or higher potential, or there are cases like Genos where they're not fully human, but it's pretty obvious that the powers in OPM weren't necessarily unique amongst users.

Despite having hero associations in both their structure is entirely different. In OPM it's a hierarchy where people are ranked based on their intelligence and strength and advance based on their successful feats or public image. While in BNHA it's a loosely connected string of various organizations the only central one being that most pro heroes tended to attend the same high school before moving on. It is also a huge piece of information the All Might has always been presented as the central figure in the people's trust with heroes. In that he's literally called "The symbol of peace" so in that case you're inserting information at random to try to establish a connection with the world building.

The biggest difference though is the actual worlds themselves. BNHA closely resembles Earth in that it directly references that it takes place in Japan. While OPM takes place on a world with single super continent more like Pangaea. So that would go back and contradict that China could even exist in the same timeline prior to OPM where the first quirk user was born (not to mention the world OPM takes place in has 4 natural satellites instead of 1 moon so it's probably not Earth)

Yeah yeah .. Saitama is Deku's great great grandfather. So Deku didn't have any power because he didn't follow Saitama's training regime. Yeah! Deku's hair is green as tatsumakii's hair.😜😜😜

Actually Akame ga Kill and One Punch Man happen in the same universe, but different timeline... Years after the ending of Akame ga Kill when peace has been established throughout the nation. A hero association is developed which later gained the trust of people by defeating numerous monsters... And that era was One Punch Man. Which later on evolved into BnHA. Here your theory is complete...

Saitama's world is an absolutely different universe... his place is more mature than the other.
If they remove all the comedy, his universe can be very very dark.
His baldness is overwhelming and can shine brighter than any star..

No, you're wrong. OPM happens in the same universe as Ikkitousen because the clothes are falling apart every time someone throws a punch. Coincidence? I think not.
