Shigaraki brothers WIP
Couldn't get this thought out of my head. Just feral child Afo.
The idea of Yoichi possibly learning how to speak first and Afo not is just so funny and absolutely horrible to me.
Estoy teniendo una maldita crisis, Yoichi es el amor de mi vida, y está sufriendo, quiero gritar, ya grité, quiero gritar más, Crisis, dolor, pena, miseria, necesito el próximo capítulo, quiero llorar, quiero morir.
Okay. I’ve had time to process the spoilers for chapter 407: Paranormal Orphan.
Here are my thoughts:
-WTF?! They are twins?! What is it with Japanese mangaka and having unhinged twin relationships?! I’m looking at you, Nightow.
-AFO was born with his Quirk activated. Stealing nutrients from his mother then desperately feeding off of her corpse. Stole her Quirk too and seems to have some sentimental value in it as he still uses it often to this day.
-Low-key, I think there’s a hint here that the genetic change in babies and pre-pubescent kids started as some sort of STD that evolved considering their mom was a prostitute and “contracted” an illness. That’s just me, though.
-The first person he ever had was Yoichi and he held his hand right after birth. Also: JFC THAT’S A BIG BOY
-AFO is a victim of his Quirk like the other villains(Toga, Touya, Tenko). He was born wanting to possess things. I don’t like the whole “he was born evil” narrative. Yeah, he looks like a crazy ass Omen baby, but it makes sense he’d think the way he does.
-AFO is also an unreliable narrator here as this is all from his POV
-He says something to the effect of (we’ll know more once we get the scanlations) how, even though Yoichi can’t give him anything like he wants from everyone else, he’s still “his”.
-So, did he just get up and start walking and taking care of his brother out of sheer will when he was still a baby or did someone pick them up and raise them to the point when AFO wanted something from them and killed them when he didn’t get it?
-Yoichi still believes there is some good in his brother because he held his hand as a baby. 😭 Poor kid
-Poor wittle Yoichi getting kicked because he threw something at AFO. For how they’ve had to live, it makes sense AFO would react that way…in a manner of speaking.
-Yoichi learning to read from comics he finds in rubble/a dump. AFO takes notice and sits next to him. He then likes the part where the author says “One for All, All for One.” He should have had a name prior that he must have given himself as Yoichi has one. Though it would make sense that AFO named Yoichi himself as “first gift” since he was the first thing he ever had.
-AFO being jealous of the Glowing Baby is pretty spot on. All of this seems to hint that AFO and Yoichi were the first to have powers considering how AFO talks about the Glowing Baby and the 50 kids born in India.
-The last page is quite a cliffhanger and it sucks we have to wait 2 weeks for the next part(there’s no way this isn’t a two parter).
-How AFO is thinking about Yoichi leaving him is intensely possessive and reminds me of how Vader choked Padme when he thought she was betraying/leaving him. This also ties into how AFO didn’t know he had killed Yoichi.
-My guess is that AFO lashed out and sliced off Yoichi’s hand in a possessive rage. He was so startled by his own action that it gave the 3rd user time to grab Kudo and Yoichi then speed out of there.
-Is it just me or does anyone else hope AFO kept Yoichi’s hand? Parallel to Tomura having all of his family’s hands. I sure hope he did because I need even more twisted twin obsession.
-It’s most likely Yoichi lived long enough after this(and maybe with his blood) transferred OFA to Kudo. He then died from his blood loss and that’s why AFO didn’t know he had killed him.
-AFO crying over Yoichi’s death maybe the first and only time he’s ever cried. Yoichi did mean something to him, maybe even more than a “thing”, but he didn’t realize it until that one moment. He blames Kudo for his death because of the mental gymnastics he has to go through to convince himself that there’s no way he would have hurt the only person he’s ever actually loved—possessive as it may be. If Kudo hadn’t have taken him from the vault, he wouldn’t have reacted and cut off Yoichi’s hand, and therefore, Yoichi would still be alive.
-If he takes OFA with Yoichi’s soul in it, then Yoichi will be his again and “I totally didn’t kill him. See! He’s still alive!”
-The internet’s hot-takes that AFO is homophobic because he went full possessive Vader over Yoichi is weird. I said it.
-A part of me wants there to be a cliffhanger where we think Bakugo may have defeated AFO. We then get the intense fight between Tomura and Deku. Deku is about to win, however that’s going to happen, but then AFO shows up around the age he was when he kicked Yoichi, and he’s holding Bakugo as a threat, demanding Deku give him his brother back. But that’s just me. Again.
Anyway, I can admit when I’m wrong about a villain’s backstory. It wouldn’t be the first time and I honestly should have expected something like this considering Horikoshi going full on horror during this Final War arc. However, I don’t think AFO being born with his Quirk activated and “wanting to take” necessarily makes him “born evil.” The twins still had to survive on the streets as orphans, anti-meta people believing AFO is a diseased heathen and never wanting to help either of them. So, he took on exactly what they thought of him. It’s actually quite sad when you stop to think about it.
I’m going to be frothing at the mouth for the next two weeks to see how this backstory ends. Since it started with AFO going nuts and thinking Bakugo is Kudo, I’m assuming we’ll get further context of AFO’s thoughts when he’s crying.

Que envidia.
Pov: you realize that your soul is in the possession of a hot and rich man who is completely sadistic and sociopathic
Don't know if this is a thing yet, but My Hero Academia AU where the very last thing Izuku unlocks in One for All (sometimes with the help of the vestiges and sometimes against their will (Second and Third)) is the super strength.
I'm throwing in bio Dad for One so Yoichi can be both a proud uncle and Absolutely Furious that the revenge plan he threw together when he realized who this Quirkless kid was is falling apart.
Kudo and Bruce, after Izuku awoke their powers through sheer determination without permission: ...
Yoichi, fuming and proud: ... You're sleeping on the couch.
Bruce: NO!
Kudo: YOICHI?!
Rest of users: *watching with popcorn*
If all a corrupt politician has to do is say that "they are in favor of Palestine" to have the support of the people, then the people are stupid as fuck.
If you can't distinguish a lie from a sincere feeling, you need help.
Anyway, that fact that Maduro "won" again the elections is not something to celebreate, and im done with people, from USA mainly, saying they are happy just bc the man said "Free Palestine" a couple of days before the elections. And Im saying this as a pro palestine person. If you are from a english speaking country and you have no idea whats going on over here please shut up. We don't need uneducated opinions.
I hug my venezuela brothers and sisters in these hard times.
making a quick disclaimer here: Controversial maybe, but even if he was pro palestine for real that wouldnt change the fact that he is a cruel dictator. People are complex like that. Nothing is always black and white
Who's the most gorgeous BNHA character? I'll start with my personal, probably rare, pick:
The fact Yoichi looks this drop dead ethereal wearing just a baggy t-shirt is insane. I love an angelic gnc king who haunts the narrative.
I just reallyyyyyyy love him in regular clothes 😭😍
Me preocupa la sanidad mental de la persona que escribió ésto, pero igual quiero ser su amigo.
>AFO's unhealthy and weird obsession with Yoichi/OFA.
>Yoichi's Transfer quick is useless on it's own if it has nothing to Transfer. It being 'empty' and needing to be given (...filled with 🤢) another quirk. AFO being the 'donor' of the Power Stockpile quirk. Planting his seed will into Yoichi's body to make him 'his' and make his brother sumbit to him by giving him a quirk. The quirks merging together to form a new one.
>AFO literally calling himself the 'father of OFA'.
>AFO having Cronus parallels/references. Cronus marrying and having children with his own sister, Rhea. Cronus being defeated by his and Rhea's child, Zeus.
>OFA 'starting to grow and kick' in Midoriya.
>Midoriya being the one to 'complete' OFA (read as: giving birth to the child that will defeat AFO, it's father).
>OFA sucking energy and life-force out of it's holders, like a baby takes resources out of it's mother's body to grow.
>Midoriya being the 9TH, and the LAST holder of OFA. Like. You know. 9 months of pregnancy? And it's impossible to transfer OFA further because it has grown too big now.
