#Because I really don't think AFO would take that crap from anyone else aside from his baby ducky

[donkeys-waffles]

I love this very much!!!

But it also reminds me, something about Izuku that I always found interesting was his tenacity towards saving the villain. How Izuku had a whole shift in his perception based on his fight with Gentle Criminal. How now he wants to SAVE the villain (Unless you're Overhaul.) One point that has been illustrated through the whole series is how he shakes people's entire perspective of themselves and the world, (Shoto, All Might, and so many others,) and saves them in the process. He literally looks at the BS and tells them exactly what they fear the most but need to hear.

And what has All for One been doing for two hundred years? Running from the truth, and Izuku's waiting around a corner ready to deliver a cold slap of hard TRUTH.

It's believed that AFO's abilities were also stockpiled in OFA, what if like Yoichi, AFO's memories were also saved and the first activation of AFO gives us his REAL backstory (without his stupid bias).

And knowing Izuku, no matter how much he hates AFO for what he's done, no one can convince me that boy is going to turn a blind eye to that shit. He's 100% gonna say something, he's the Todoroki family therapist for a reason.

AFO Purposeful Dehumanization

If people are confused at why AFO wants to be dehumanized here's a more proper analyst. It takes away his personal responsibility as a person with the excuse it in his nature. That he could NEVER redeem himself or even try to change because he is just evil. That of course it natural he would kill his little brother, it not like he cried. Also it was those rebels fault anyway so of course he lashed out at the betrayal!

No one caring about the human he is can be quite comforting. He doesn't need to ever think about making up or apologizing. He doesn't need to consider even the IDEA of redemption if is just a monster. Or worry about such silly things like forgiveness. Or care about the pain that he was abandoned into the streets it natural for a evil monster.

Yet he still wanted to be around people. He latched onto the villain because he had followers that surround him. He still had taken cared of Yoichi more then himself even if was for selfish reason.

Acknowledging his humanity would be acknowledging it wasn't his nature to be evil. But that he made a conscious choice and the consequences were a disaster. That he had hurt his family by accident, that he can't make up for that. That all these choices were his own personal responsibility. That he killed Yoichi not out of maliciousness but because he acted out in anger. To which he might never be able to forgive himself for.

For some people, acknowledging such things is terrifying and it better to pretend that "just how you are." Then ever think you can change, because that also means all the pain and hurt will weigh on you. That you fucked up your own life. Who wants that burden willingly?

But in the end these are excuses of a man terrified of his own humanity and the grief that would bring. He is fully conscious of his action and being humanized doesn't give him the out he craves. So he runs away from reality, because that is what this man is doing.

Because once he is humanized, he no longer has the excuse it in his nature. And instead he isn’t in control of his destiny, he was a victim who became an abuser and every mistake was all his fault.
