panel from when All Might was explaining the quirk-
Looking back now it looks suspiciously like Yoichi’s sleeve
It sure could be! Chapter 257 gives us some good views of AFO “crushing the strong”, and I know there were a few theories that the panel of him standing atop rubble was depicting him having killed Yoichi, Kudou, and Third at the same time. That theory doesn’t hold true after 406-07, when it’s made clear Yoichi died before Kudou. And, assuming the force choke scene is in fact where AFO kills Kudou, then Third already has OFA and is offscreen somewhere, so the three are not dying at the exact same time. But it’s still possible this scene is showing Yoichi dying and Kudou being injured before AFO catches Kudou and finishes the job, and AFO will chase Third shortly after.
That said, I’m not convinced the clothing presentation is always identical, or that a light colored long sleeve means it MUST be Yoichi. On the next page of Ch.257, we see Shinomori passing OFA to Banjo (note the shoulder guard that Banjo has and Third does not), then Banjo to En’s hand, and finally En to Nana’s (gloved?) hand. Banjo’s sleeve is completely ripped up by the time he’s reaching out for En.
Shinomori’s clothing looks a little different on the left side vs the right. It’s almost like the right arm of his cropped jacket was torn off but his Under Armour stayed snugly in place. It’s hard to tell if that’s by his design or after a fight or what.
As for Kudou and Third, Kudou typically has long, dark sleeves and Third wears short sleeves but has light colored wraps from wrist to elbow (which could look like a sleeve if torn up).
Anyway, if you’ve read this far, the point is that we haven’t yet seen on-screen what, exactly, happened with Yoichi, Kudou, and Third after they un-vaulted (de-vaulted?) Yoichi. We know AFO was nearby or was somehow watching Yoichi escape, so he was able to give chase pretty quickly. But the sequence of events that led to the deaths of the first three wielders — basically the entire time until Shinomori disappeared into the forest with OFA for 18 years — is still quite mysterious. That excites me because it means there’s more to come!!!
