The reason powerscaling your faves against Goku is a fool's errand isn't because Goku is really strong, it's because most shonen protagonists have explicit limitations on their powers and hard and fast rules to what they can and cannot do, while Goku is a mythic folk hero whose feats are akin to divine miracles.
People: AFO killed Yoichi without hesitation or remorse! Yoichi was just a toy! He never really cared about him! He was born evil! So GLAD we finally have an evil villain that is just evil and doesn’t have a meaning!
AFO: spends 100+ years blaming Kudo for Yoichi’s death, heavily projecting to the point he kills all of Kudo’s family.
Embalms and carries around Yoichi’s hand for 100+ years. (He also refers to the hand as Yoichi in the present)
“Talks” to Yoichi in his head(this happens multiple times). Says he “needs”/“it’s all for nothing” without Yoichi.
Admits he hates thinking back on when Kudo snidely told him he killed Yoichi because it brings back all of the terrible memories(which would include Yoichi’s death and their horrible childhood. Also, see the last image for that too).
Says that all color has left the world after he heard Yoichi breaking into pieces; only a gaping hole of loss remains.
Screams at Deku not to look at him (though all he keeps saying is how he wants everyone to look at him) when Deku realizes he’s not a monster beyond understanding, not a demon lord, but just a very lonely man.
Begs to see Yoichi’s eyes, his face—you can’t go! Screams at Yoichi that he loves him more than anything, he’s hopeless without him—he’s nothing.
Horikoshi’s own words from the Da Vinci Magazine interview:
“By stripping away the things that the diabolical villain wears, I find that there are parts of him that I can empathize with as a human being. I’m going to look for it to see if it exists”
People: …nuh…nuh-uh!
The leaks Katy?!
Yoichi got his morals from comic books, that's another thing I was right about.
I've made fun of Yoichi for having morals from a comic book but it turns out he literally got his morals from a comic book. That was all he had. He didn't have any adults in his life to teach him. He couldn't even read more complicated books. The reason why he's telling AFO "metapowers should only be used to help people" in the flashback is because he read it in a comic book, and it's likely he doesn't even understand the more complicated political situation. It comes from genuine ignorance and lack of learning not stupidity so I can't mock it any longer.
Meanwhile I've always been kidding that AFO is a chuunibyou who got his motive from a comic book but it turns out he was in the same situation as Yoichi. Seriously, if only AFO had gotten better reading material then he probably would have still been drawn to the bad guy but he could have turned out mostly harmless. If only AFO and Yoichi had read one of those idol mangas and been inspired to go into theatre. AFO would have been the dramatic jerk who keeps sabotaging all his opponents but the world would have been spared domination.
thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated
the difference in their reactions to each other 😭
Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.
Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them
Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.
Mi abuela me regaño por reírme demasiado fuerte y me mandó a dormir, amo Tumblr.
5 headcanons where AFO went into the shadows because excessive exposure to his "lovely" personality was making too many Heroes.
What this isn't canon? Haha. This has been happening over many generations:
All for One stole ice cream from two younger children as a teenager. Those children were Second and Third, and they vowed revenge.
All for One saved Crimson Riot's life as a child because he was trying (and failing) to steal his quirk. This inspired Crimson Riot to become a hero.
Gran Torino was originally an employee of All for One but quit because All for One forgot to pay him.
All for One accidentally inspired the entire underground hero industry with an online rant about how heroes seek glory.
Nezu was going to become a villain because of his tragic past. However he only lasted a day working for All for One before the monologues drove him to quit.
Endeavor and All for One were online buddies. All for One gave him advice on good PR and handling his family. This helped Endeavor rise to the top in his career and totally ruin his family. All for One thought he was mentoring a young villain and was very annoyed when he realized. He later kidnapped Touya for revenge.
Kirishima was inspired by Crimson Riot, creating the second generation of All for One's mistakes.
Sketch! I did this a long time ago when I didn’t know how to digital art (i still don’t know how to digital art but 🤷♀️) Rather than having it sit forever on my computer I’ll leave it here! Yoichi scrolling TikTok or something while waiting for his buddies to join him in the void. It’s an old piece so I’m not too happy with it but I think the idea is cute anyway ^_^
I wonder what he’s looking at? Cat videos? YouTube reactions? Manga? Online shopping? Is he trying to troll AFO by leaving him mean comments and 1 star yelp reviews????
Kudo siendo extremadamente rápido sin ninguna razón está en el personaje.
bruce and yoichi being extremely slow walkers who like to enjoy the view as they walk whereas kudo speed walks for absolutely no reason and has to wait a few minutes until they reach him
HAHAHA, ¡¡ESTE ES BUENO!!.
Izuku talking to the Vestiges: so what was your favorite moment before you died? It has to be the closest to when you died though.
Nana: my very last moments when I flipped off All for One and gave a sassy hair flip, just before he crushed me with a giant bolder.
Banjo: That one time when I dropkicked All for one using my blackwhip
2nd, still in the corner: I made All for one cry once
Yoichi: when I escaped the vault and left a recording of my voice that was triggered by the vault door opening that had me cursing him out and telling him that next time he wants to keep someone in a vault to take care of their mental state too, because I'm coming for him.
Everyone: silence
2nd: when did this happen?
Yoichi: I had it recorded for a while, it was supposed to be either for my funeral or for a last message when i got out sort of thing. I set it up while you guys were getting some stuff to take with us back to camp but I had almost nothing to pack so I just did that and then shoved everything I owned into a bag.
Izuku: that sounds fun.
Aizawa, walking in on the conversation: Izuku who are you talking to?
Izuku, looking him dead (haha) in the eyes: dead people. They are talking about the best experiences they had before death.
Aizawa, tired: and why does that sound fun?
Izuku, forgetting to give Aizawa context: well, the one who is all for one's brother left him a voice recording telling him off once he was able to escape the vault he put him in, that's what sounds fun. Not being in the vault, but the voice recording.
(I will let you continue this before I get out of hand and use too much space for the ask space to handle)
(im just laughing my ass off at this it's funny as fuck thank you for the ask!)

Alimenten esté Au, tengo hambre (siempre tengo hambre).
(Ps, his mouth/bottom face being covered by shadows is a play on how AFO’s upper face was seemingly always covered by shadows)
