OMG!! Death flag!! The music is so cringy! That all adds up about AFO. OMG haha, so I just now realized it's Jotaro!!! I asked about it in my next reaction, so please disregard :P I think, from what others are saying, that was Hawks saying that the quirks all reverted back, even though it looks like they don't. Yeah, emotional/flipping out is kinda where Bakugo lives LOL! It's true that Shigaraki is probably a bigger threat. HAHAHA Bakugo was totally MC in this!

Both with his power and his fists took from everyone so he had something. Eventually he believed it was his right to take what he wanted. Yet his brother only hated him and when he wouldn't be what he wanted he killed him. In the end he was simply a lonely boy who wanted the world to acknowledge him. A twisted little boy.

2025-10-26 22:05:41 +0000 UTCOh look, we’re getting AFO backstory - wait… does that mean…? You know… By the way the cringy opera music that makes your hair stand on end is back. :P So it seems that AFO was always a parasite even from birth. I dunno the story behind his mom, and I don’t think I want to - or who the dad even is. But it seems that from birth he just took, took, and took. He never asked permission, never shared, and everything was all about him, even his twin brother. We knew all this, but it’s laid out a lot more clearly with everything shown in the episode. So to see everything fall apart and him not get his way precisely because of how he’s treated others is for lack of a better word, instant karma. I said last week how his methods alienate anyone around him, while the brother was building up a Quirk that relied completely on the willingness to share. And ironically, it’s the one thing AFO wanted that he never could get. If you’re asking why Kudo’s VA sounded familiar I’m gonna say, “Jotaro, Sebastian, and Erwin” without any context. Bakugo kind of reiterates my point himself - he of all people admitted, “there is no way I got to this point by myself.” AFO thought the story was all about him - but we know better. I am not quite sure what the indicators with Hawks mean, someone else who understands the story better can give you a better answer without speculation. But are we really surprised that Bakugo is the one that got AFO to flip his lid and get emotional? And now, it appears we’ve gotten rid of him. Maybe he worked in the shadows too much, but Shigaraki seemed like the more prominent threat from the first season. I don’t quote Bakugo directly too often, but in this case, AFO wasn’t the true villain of the show , so it fits: “YOU move aside, background character!” 😁
