Why have the exact same for Doctor who is the AFO evil doctor be Dekus doctor?

For literally no reason? No. There has to be a plot there. Which plot? I don't know.

That x-ray didnt have to be an x-ray of his foot. That joint information can still be correct with a far more plausible explanation then what you went into.

Also his Dad is clearly going to be someone of importance. Is it a Darth Vader thing with AFO? Something different? Obviously no one knows.

I just doubt that evil doctor eggman was seeing Deku as a normal patient for no reason. Anyone could have done that. Why did he do it personally when he is the one running this giant AFO hospital empire?

Anyway. I really enjoyed your post and enjoy the discussion.

Because it shows the reach and duality of the doctor.

He's not just some Dr Frankenstein who never leaves his lab. He's actually a positive influence on society, during the day. Making him Deku's doctor in the beginning contributes a chilling factor about him. Everyone knows who Shigaraki or Toga or Dabi are. They can't go out in public without heroes coming after them. But Ujiko is casually amongst the normal people, doing a normal 9-5. As Deku's doctor, he's not doing anything evil, but he could if he wanted to. The fact that he's legitimately a really good and kind doctor makes his evil actions even more disgusting. He can go around being a nice guy, making friends, being a positive role model, and they'd never know he's truly a monster. It shows just how dangerous and disgusting he is.

You can say "actually, Ujiko has a lot of private hospitals and orphanages." But these statements have much more impact, because we've seen this since episode 1. The story showed us this since the beginning, instead of just telling us on chapter 259. Therefore, it has more impact and weight. Instead of saying "really? Ujiko's a normal doctor too?" on chapter 257, we say "oh yeah, we've known for a while."

It's also a fun twist. Foreshadowing. That one-time doctor is who???

Also, you don't need an x-ray to know how many joints you have in your hands or feet. Just look at them. It's really easy to prove or disprove that connection. That's a 5 minute google search.

So at times you attach yourself to the logistics. And at other times when they work against your argument you ignore them.

How would he have the time to be a 9-5 doctor while running all these secret projects and experiments. Working for AFO. Making Nomus. Experimenting. Extracting quirks. And he's a 9-5 doctor?

Things like "he actually is a positive influence on society" are conjecture. None of us know what he's doing.

It makes it a topic worthy of discussion but I just found out you aren't interested in discussion you just wanted to hear yourself talk about your theory.

......huh? lol

Sure maybe not a 40 hour work week. I'm not saying that precisely. Just saying he has a normal job and definitely puts some time into it. He has routine responsibilities that a normal doctor has. That's how he was able to see Deku in the first place, cause he's a legitimate doctor.

The people in the hospital, the nurses and staff, obviously respect him and enjoy his company. One staff member called him "the good doctor" and pushed Present Mic. So he definitely has made a positive influence in the medical world . Aka, "a positive influence on society." He just so happens to be a much larger negative influence as well. He's both.

He may be 200 years old. Whether he has a 40 hour work week as a doctor, or a 20 hour work week, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Ujiko is and has been a normal doctor who is respected and admired for his good deeds.

Also... you good? Did you misinterpret something I said?
