Estoy Teniendo Una Maldita Crisis, Yoichi Es El Amor De Mi Vida, Y Está Sufriendo, Quiero Gritar, Ya

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.

Okay. I’ve Had Time To Process The Spoilers For Chapter 407: Paranormal Orphan.

-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.

what if the Shigaraki twins.. actually looked like twins

so like.. what if both of them had long hair

Or what if both of them had short hair?

I lowkey want to read a fic where they both look identical and are constantly mixed up with one another. What if AFO’s underling’s constantly mistake Yoichi for him, embarrassingly much, and Yoichi is able to use this to his advantage?

how would Second and Third react?

I have a headcanon that yoichi is something like 6'2" but just looks small because he's next to afo. It's so random but it's always been on my mind, everyone thinks he's small but then you stand next to him and its like 👀

You know, that's an interesting assumption, and I'd even support it - then it would make sense why Izuku isn't as tall at 16 as Toshi was at that age (I took it for comparison, since Afo and All Might are over 2 meters tall).

But! We have footage from the manga where Nana and Yoichi are standing next to each other. And Nana is quite a tall and sturdy woman, she's definitely over 180cm. And Yoichi may well be the same height as her, or even taller - but because of his thinness and baggy clothes, he may appear shorter than he is. He's also often behind Nana in the shot, and because of this perspective, he can appear shorter - when he's at a distance from her he's touching her shoulder.

And we also have a frame of Yoichi and Second. And making rough sketches for comparison, it appears that Yoichi is taller than Second.

Of course, it's worth waiting for the official datebook with their profiles, but still....

Totalmente en el personaje.

For the fairy tale ask game: how about a Little Red Riding Hood AU with some duoholders please? Second has red hair so he gets to be Little Red Riding Hood. Yoichi and All for One are both wolves. How you divide up the role between them is up to you.

Yay, I love Little Red Riding Hood :)

Instead of quirks, people have started becoming werewolves. But it's all wonky so they just randomly transform instead of depending on the moon, and some of them (like the Shigaraki twins) keep some of their wolf features in human form. Anyway, Kudo bought in to the government's spiel about how werewolves are all evil due to his fear of dogs and works with them to kill them off.

One day, Kudo gets some time off and decides to visit his reclusive step-brother Hikage, who lives in the woods. However, what he doesn't know is that AFO and his pack have taken that part of the woods over, which is why Hikage hasn't visited him. Should he step out of the clearing, the wolves will tear him apart. (Also, he just doesn't want to deal with people) Kudo brings a basket of Hikage's favorite foods and wears a red cloak, because it's winter and he's cold.

Meanwhile, Yoichi is eager to move up in the wolf pack. You see, his brother (who is the pack leader) told him that they were fighting against evil people who destroyed the environment. Yoichi wants to play a bigger part in that instead of having to be protected all the time, so his brother sends him on what he thinks is a wild goose chase to bring the head of a trespassing man in a red cloak by sundown (it's morning). AFO doesn't know about Kudo and thinks that everyone knows that part of the woods belongs to him, so what idiot would wander the woods in an eye-catching red cloak?

Yoichi finds Kudo and attacks in wolf form. Kudo fights back by swinging the basket which leads to a container of strawberry shortcake falling out and spilling cake on the ground. Yoichi is curious, having only lived off the land and eats it. Then begs for more. A cautious Kudo keeps feeding him as they make their way to Hikage's house. There, Hikage exposes him as a werewolf and Yoichi transforms back but tells them his story in an attempt to convince them that he's good, only to hear that his brother is actually evil and the people he killed were because he wanted more land, not because he was trying to save it. Kudo is a bit distracted because Yoichi wasn't wearing clothes and looks adorable with wolf ears and a tail (none of the wolves wear clothes because A. they're feral wolves and B. their clothes rip when they transform)

They all snap into action when AFO comes by looking for his brother. He and Yoichi get into an argument and AFO blames Kudo for turning him against him so he tries to eat him, but only manages to tear off a part of the man's face. Hikage grabs a gun he's been saving should the wolves move in, and shoots him. Yoichi announces that he's rejecting the clan and he, Kudo, and Hikage run while AFO is suffering from the bullet wound.

Missed opportunity to dress AFO up in grandma clothes, but Second isn't stupid enough to fall for that anyway (still would be funny to see) Does AFO die? Idk, I mean the only thing going for him here is that he's pack leader. No quirks, just werewolves.
