Japan doesn't really do the whole "therapists" thing, though. It's considered too shameful to even acknowledge that there's even a problem

Honestly, I am pretty curious what his deal will be, when he inevitably appears in the story. Because working overseas or not, its kinda ridiculous that he didn't at least call when his quirkless son suddenly manifested a powerful quirk. Or when he enrolled in the best hero school in japan. Or when his quirk send him to the hospital for xth time. Or when he was attacked by terrorists for xth time. Or.....

Like he is either a secret agent under total communication blackout or supreme rear end in a top hat.

Or, you know, the story just didn't cover those moments and it happened off-screen, like most of the time spent in school.

Deku's dad exists but will never show up because Horikoshi wants Deku to have a father figure in All Might but not have the baggage of having a dead dad or one who abandoned his family.

I hope not - going "I was in contact with my family the whole time!" with Dekus father would be the worst possible way of handling it.

The story already established that unlike most shonen, in Hero Academia the relationships between children and their parents are important and worth getting focus. It also established that Dekus relationship with his parents is important and worth getting focus - his mother, despite being regular housewife is an important character in the story and the absence of Dekus father in his life is also extremely obvious. Not explaining why Dekus father is a complete non-entity in the story so far and instead going " actually his father was also part of his life this whole time! Just off-screen! Without any character ever mentioning anything about it! Or without single reaction from Deku! Or without a single hint that Deku was in contact with his father! But he was totally there for him!" would be pretty horrible writing.

Deku's relationship with his mom is important and has gotten legitimate focus and development same Todoroki and his parents but that's about it. Like the parents of other kids exist and all but I don't think the relationship between children and their parents is especially a theme of the story or anything.

yeah he's basically holding on by the tiniest thread just to keep teaching Deku a bit longer, almost everyone has said he really should be dead

Well, people have pointed out All Might acting as a father figure for Deku, and Nana for All Might, which while not blood relationships are/were close ones. Also, for one people haven't mentioned (well, both characters were brought up, but not together for some reason), All For One and Shigaraki, for a dark mirror of things.

Edit: Wait you were one of the people pointing the first thing out, whoops.

Anyway, for people who haven't gotten as much focus in a while, Ochako's parents and Iida's brother (not a parent but an important family member he looks up to, and his family in general is a big thing for him) were both major parts of their motivations before they stopped being relevant.

All for One was pretty frank about it, he didn't have some big freudian excuse to do what he did

one day he just went "I WANNA BE REALLY FUKKEN EVIL" and his Quirk gave him the means to follow his dreams

inspirational, really

I kinda figured it was like a divorce but unofficial. So he is just having a portion of his salary sent home, like alimony, to take care of his responsibilities. I wouldn't be surprised to see him show up with Deku doing overseas training but I don't see him showing up in the same panels as Deku-mom at all. Almost see it more likely to be a filler/recap episode in the anime. Deku being sent near Deku-dad's work. Awkward call on the phone. Deku having a training reason to be there. Them meeting for tea or ramen and Deku doing a flashback recap of his time since getting OFA. Then Deku gets a call about an emergency, starts to run out and his dad grabs his arm and says "I'm proud of you". Deku tears up a bit, too choked up to reply and runs off to do hero things.

you're overthinking this imo. deku mom literally said he's working overseas and that's probably all there is to it. he's not important to the narrative because all might is deku's father figure. he might show up but I don't think he's gonna be a villain or that he's divorced or w/e

Do you want to know what we do to artists?
If they do go the "Deku's dad is a villain" route, I want him to be some low level petty criminal or something and not some super powered mega villain like I see some people theorizing. Like, his "overseas job" is just him selling illegal merchandise to various criminals all over the world. I want him to be like, evil middle management for a bigger organization.

I also hope he's awkward as gently caress and doesn't know how to interact with his son. "Sooo do you like...heroes?"

the next time he calls home for christmas he'd better hope his minutes are paid up, because he's going to be on the phone for a while
