AFO tried to steal OFA from Banjo and then from En. Both times he couldn’t do it. MHA 419 confirms AFO realized after En that he needed an “iron will” or an emotion stronger than he was capable of in order to steal OFA. That means AFO was looking for someone to groom THE WHOLE TIME Nana held OFA. So did AFO discover she had a son and then target only her husband to pick him off before separating her and Kotaro??? Did she fight AFO thinking she might be able to stop him, when he already had young Kotaro in his clutches?? Oh my god, is that why AFO thanked her for the “wonderful comedy” — Nana thought she was “leaving the rest” to Toshinori but in reality AFO already had a plan to get OFA by “breeding” a successor from Nana’s own son?!?!?!?

All might doodles
Im so used drawing digitally that at this point drawing on paper feels weird
Yes he do
Can I be honest here? When I first saw this scene, I was honestly worried for a second that All Might would be a untouchable, a bit arrogant and overly confident guy. Just for a split-second, I thought “Oh no, he’s gonna be one of those untouchable hero-idols again who will only show up in the story whenever there’s a really big fight that the protagonist can’t handle”.
Why I thought that – perhaps because I felt something about his behavior was faked. Perhaps because he just picked up the nearest piece of paper he could find and wrote down his autograph without even being asked for it, probably thinking that everyone would love to have his autograph, anyway.
But gosh, was I wrong. In the mere span of a few minutes, all those worries were shut down.
Untouchable? Invincible? No. All Might is shown to be bleeding and hiding behind a strong façade only a bit later.
Him not showing up in the series apart from important fights? Ha! Since the manga started, All Might has been at Izuku’s side as often as possible. I even miss him when he isn’t there, because I’m just so used to him being close to Izuku (even if it’s just watching from around the corner like a worried dad)
And then, when I rewatched BNHA, I noticed this little scene here:
All Might didn’t just pick the notebook up and write his autograph into it. He really read it first. The book had fallen open during the fight with slime guy, if I remember correctly. He probably caught sight of the sketches of heroes Izuku had done and took a look into it.
He noticed how detailed Izuku’s notes where. He took into consideration how much time the boy had spent gathering all those information about the heroes, and how much love had went into each detail. Knowing Izuku, that fanboy probably even wrote down his thoughts near the notes, little bits and pieces of excited rambling and theories.
All Might didn’t write his autograph into the notebook because he egoistically assumed that it would be what the boy wanted.
He wrote the autograph into the notebook because, after seeing Izuku’s addiction to heroes, his love for everything concerning it, he knew how much this autograph would mean for the boy.
Well done, Horikoshi. You managed to literally pulverize all the clichés concerning shounen-mentors and designed one of the most lovable, dorkiest yet most awesome characters I’ve ever seen. Not to mention what a heartwarming relationship between mentor and student was created here.
Also, what kind of dorky autograph is this, you drew your own eyebrows and eye-shadows under it you utter DORK
"His final act... as the Symbol Of Peace..."
Once Toshinori's condition progressed, he performed fewer and fewer concerts until his performances were few and far between. Taking this as an opportunity to sully his rival's name, All For One performed the piece "Death of a Symbol" and spoke publicly about it being the end of All Might's musical career. While Toshinori initially remained silent, he took to the stage again when All For One made comments about Toshinori's ability to teach and the skill of his students, at which point he performed his piece "Final Act." This song consisted of the largest orchestra All Might had ever conducted, and was one of his longest pieces. This performance was also the first time All Might was on stage since his body began majorly deteriorating. Conducting the entire piece pushed him past the time he could normally handle, and the performance marked the beginning of All Might's retirement.
i redownloaded the sims to make this

"You'll have to be faster than that, kid."
I know the only scenes we see of Gran Torino training All Might are just Torino kicking the crap out of Toshi, making him scared shitless of Torino as an adult, but I really like to think that they goofed off a little too before Nana's death. This hc created the idea of one of Torino's training activities being a really intense game of tag around the city.
close ups below the cut :)

Just some random sketches :)
