#perfect it's a worse afterlife for him than just being stuck in a vault in the back of the mind of the last holder until the ninth dies

After AFO dies for good in the manga, he will be isekaied into the Captain Hero comics as Captain Hero. The universe will not allow him to do villainous things as everytime he tries to diverge from the main plot he always somehow ends up saving someone/doing good and causing the plot to move forward. He cannot break out of the narrative, he wants to scream.

He's so angry that he tells Sidekick Kid one day about how he used to be a monster, how he was a villain, and how he liked doing it too. Sidekick Kid nods, then says that must be why he tries so hard to make things right as Captain Hero. AfO says he's really not trying that hard. Sidekick Kid says Captain Hero needs to stop blaming himself for not being able to do more. AfO says no, he's actively trying to be evil. Sidekick Kid continues to not believe him, and when AfO attacks them directly (but is of course unable to do so) Sidekick Kid assumes he's trying to protect them by pushing them away because of some looming threat, so they go looking for the threat and make sure it gets taken down faster. AfO's hope that the Demon Lord would just win already so AfO can try to join him then, and then supplant him, is further destroyed. He hates this so much.
