Toga was dressed up really cute on the day the bird fell in their yard. A bow at her collar, matching frills on her cuffs, the bottom of her shirt, the edge of her skirt and socks, and even on her shoe buckles. One of her parents, probably her mom, did her hair up into buns.

Toga's parents only cared about appearances, in more than one sense of the word. They told Himiko she wasn't human, even though they could never handle her humanity. All they wanted in a daughter was a doll to dress up.

That stopped after her parents saw her drinking blood. Her mom didn't bother giving her daughter pretty hairstyles anymore. Toga's hair out of the buns looks messy enough that it might not have gotten combed through properly.

This has got to be one reason why Toga cares so much about cuteness, why the question she asked Ochaco was "Do you think I'm cute?" and not something like "Do you think I'm human?"

Toga's parents gave her affection by caring for her appearance, and they neglected it to punish her. Even as a teenager it's a big way she gives and recieves love, whether it's splurging the LoV's money on a coat, calling others cute, or wanting to hear it from Ochaco.

Her girly coordinated outfit got switched out for plain, unisex sweatshirt. What she's wearing in this pic is even worse. It looks like a too-large top (her mom's?) worn as a dress. I seriously hope that was just for bed and she didn't have to go outside like that.

But also, putting a squirming, messy toddler into a frilly outfit and fussing around with her hair for just a boring day at home is weird. None of the other girls in the series are dressed up like that at that age, not even Momo with all her family's money.

This memory of Kotarou's as he read Nana's letter always seemed such a weird and sad scene for him to remember. It's not positive, but then again it's not truly negative either. It just seems so random and silly, so unimportant.

The Joint Training arc is a real goldmine of foreshadowing for this arc. Makes sense, as it was the beginning of the era of multiple quirks, and now we're at the end of them.

Yoichi, Toshinori and Izuku are the quirkless* trio of OFA holders, and as such they represent OFA itself. Another thing they have in common is a hero who lifted them out of their powerlessness, and that this hero becomes a surrogate family member to them.

It's not like with the two other guys, where AFO simply put his hand on their heads. AFO deliberately places his hand and thumb to obscure Yoichi's eyes. He doesn't want to see Yoichi look at him with fear and anger. That was exactly what he was trying to overwrite.

AFO wants everyone to look at him, Yoichi most of all. This is the second worst thing AFO ever did to him (and there's some stiff competition for that title). He has Yoichi's full, unidivided, terrified attention. So why is AFO covering Yoichi's eyes?

If AFO's goal was to confuse people, he managed it. Not by crying, but with this deranged line. Most people seem to agree he was lying to himself, but it's not a universal opinion by any means. So what was really going on?

But it isn't what makes him happy. It's all done for the sake of his goal. What he really wants is the seemingly telepathic connection between a baby and its mom. His dream is people knowing his needs and taking care of him without him saying a word.

Standing in the way of their dreams so people have to pay attention to him, forcing them to look at him, is not what AFO really wants. He's good at it, and he's come to enjoy it because it's the only thing that consistently works.

Yoichi's monologue, which both AFO and Kudou only see half of, their own wishes cutting Yoichi in two, and which neither of them listen to until the end, is a parallel to the scene in the vault. Yoichi is a small figure, shown from the chest up, his eyes hidden.

This meta wouldn't be complete without mentioning the main reason why hands of the dead are worn in this story. They're to make sure memories don't fade. Yoichi's hand helps AFO remind himself of his goal: to make the world into his Yoichi, even when the original is gone.

The first panel is even split in two as well, with the hero suffering on one side and defeating the Demon Lord on the other. The split doesn't go through Yoichi. This is his own view of himself. He's placed outside of the panel because he's talking about a story, and he is real.

So, as the damsel, Katsuki is Yoichi's foil in the forest. Izuku and the rest of their classmates are the rebel group. They move together, keeping Yoichi/Katsuki within their formation, but a villain in a trenchcoat snatches him away.

The last time Yoichi called Kudou "my hero" it was a reminder and a gentle reproach. Kudou wasn't acting like Yoichi's hero by facing the wall, giving everyone the silent treatment, and generally opposing the plan to save Tenko.

AFO can't see people as human, and Yoichi covers his own eyes, showing both AFO's spiritual blindness and the fact Yoichi tried not to see it. But even as he reminds himself of what AFO did to him with his power, Yoichi won't reject the power itself.

AFO manifests Yoichi's hand in the exact same pose over his own (well, Tenko's) mouth. Then again, it's made of AFO's (Tenko's) flesh, and he uses it to cover Tenko's opposition to him. The hand is both AFO's and Yoichi's, covering both himself and someone else.

In the second, he's held inside the panel, cut in two, the gutter like the bar of a cage. He's viewed from the outside, by AFO and Kudou. Back when when he talked to AFO in the vault, some part of him still believed he could be the comic hero who wins in the end.

In the vault, that panel was followed by AFO putting a hand over Yoichi's eyes. Here, Yoichi does it to himself. Back then, it was about overwriting Yoichi and reality itself. This time, it's seems to be Yoichi remembering that moment as he talks about AFO's evil.

This chapter confirmed that Yoichi wasn't able to believe his brother had a heart. If Yoichi's view is that AFO wanted a heart to steal OFA, it means he thinks AFO lacked one. It's a callback to what Kudou said about Izuku a few chapters ago.

By the time Kudou gets him into their hideout, this has changed. AFO rejected the comic hero's path, and ultimately Yoichi did too. The hero struggled alone until he won. Yoichi didn't want to suffer or be alone anymore, and he lost hope he could stop his brother.

The first two examples had eyes being covered, in this case, it's the mouth and ears. AFO wanted to shield himself from the truth of Yoichi's feelings. Right now, the truth is clear to both Tenko and AFO. "Their" eyes are uncovered, though in shadow because both are in despair.

Izuku wanted to be the one reaching out, but he acknowledged that Katsuki's feelings come first. And eventually, Katsuki did come to hold his hand. Izuku let another person hold Katsuki's hand to save his life. AFO saw Yoichi holding the hand of another, and killed him.

I think it's meant to imply that when Nana left him, little Kotarou first thought it was because of moments like this. It was his fault for criticizing her cooking. He made her feel like she wasn't a normal mom, he made her think he hated her, and that's why she abandoned him.

It's clear Kotarou never understood the level of danger he was in. He didn't know AFO was real and after his mom. That there was a bad guy his mom couldn't beat must have seemed impossible to him as a kid. It must be his fault she never came back for him.

Everything about tears leaves AFO bewildered. His experiences and his reaction to them have alienated him from his own completely normal and human emotional responses. There is no crying child inside AFO like for Tenko, Himiko or Touya. It got shut up when he was born.

Imo the way the anime handled this panel is okay. It works as AFO's wishful fantasy, his rewrite of that memory. In the fantasy, Yoichi turns to look when AFO comes close. In reality, Yoichi did not take his eyes off the comic, not even while talking to his brother.

The boys' costumes all look a bit AFO-like, Shoutou and Tenya with their formal shirts, Izuku and Eijirou with their jackets. Momo being mistaken for a hostess is kinda funny when you remember AFO's mom's profession.

This little panel tucked away next to AFO's arm on the spread caught my eye recently. The other hand presumably belongs to En, since the panel comes right after the one of AFO failing to steal OFA from Banjo.

The one exception is during his second meeting with Kudou. Far from causing confusion, AFO's the one who looks lost.

Everything about tears leaves AFO bewildered. His experiences and his reaction to them have alienated him from his own completely normal and human emotional responses. There is no crying child inside AFO like for Tenko, Himiko or Touya. It got shut up when he was born.

How does the Joint Training arc end for Shinsou again? I sure wonder what it could foreshadow for Tenko :^)

In light of AFO's experience with stubborn imprisoned wannabe heroes, him supporting Tomura about Katsuki is a whole lot easier to understand. Like the last time someone tried to save one of his victims, AFO turns the scenery into rubble.

Kotarou coming out of AFO and putting his hand on Tomura can also be seen as an allusion to how the father hands the bride over to the husband. In patriarchal societies, this symbolizes the bride going from being the father's property to being the husband's.

Monoma has that parallel to Toga, but mostly he plays AFO. I don't need to explain their similarities in design, quirk, and hangups. In JT, Monoma has a trump card which he plays after he gets taken off the gameboard. Sound familiar? He also deals with Eri and Rewind.

"My hero" is an important phrase in this story, for obvious reasons. There's a whole chapter named after it, in which the term was defined for us. These are just a couple of times someone has been called that title.

Since the idea of Izuku and Tenko being reborn as twins has gotten relevant, now might be an ok time for me to butt in with a few other "twins" who've popped up in the story. These duos aren't necessarily twins or even related, but some aspect of them reminded me that way.

Two months after conception is when the baby stops being considered an embryo and officially becomes a fetus.

When the flashback first came out, people noted that AFO learned things through Yoichi. That Yoichi taught him speech is only implied, but in this scene, we see him teach his brother how ideas can be communicated through art, as well as the concept of role models.

As others have said, when Yoichi thinks of Kudou this chapter, the kana next to 2nd say Leader. Apparently, Yoichi integrated into the rebel group better than I'd thought when I wrote that meta a few weeks ago. No wonder we didn't get a first name reveal out of him.

That the second guy caused the first guy's mommy issues feels like a punchline.

Lots of people have pointed out that AFO is always trying to cast himself in a caretaking role in his interactions with others. There are several closely connected reasons for this. 1. The most straightforward reason, it's a handy way to take control of the other person.

It makes AFO think back to Kyouka crying. He calls it the "roar of weaklings". The reminder of Yoichi and seeing the bonds between the heroes disturbs and confuses AFO. He remembers his mission and leaves without hurting the people there further.
