It would be hilarious if AFO went by the name Iago to Kotaro...

Kotaro: Thanks for the advice honest Iago! Where did you get that name from by the way, you seem Japanese?

AFO: My mother was a big Disney fan. In fact, she'd even act out some of their tropes! Such habits run in my family.

Kotaro: That makes sense!

Nao, read at least one Shakespeare play before: What an interesting name...

Kotaro: his mother was a Disney fan, apparently.

Nao, overlooks red flags like she gets paid to: oh, that makes sense then!

"Plus he'd have to deal with occasionally getting rescued by other heroes from truly ridiculous traps, and when he tries to kill them for the audacity they just end up laughing it off or thanking him for pushing them down just in time to avoid Yoichi's giant hairbrush shaped hammer"

And then Yoichi can force his brother to save them after Yoichi trapped the hero under a comb shaped pendulum of doom!

truly, AfO's suffering does not end here!

"if Yoichi forces AfO to be a Silver Age hero it's even better, because AfO would hate it even more than just a standard or modern hero because now he can't even have a grimdark anti-hero flavor to his style."

AFO: Stop there you evildoer! (erk!) You shall not commit this crime against the good hair of these good people! (hack) Instead you'll learn that justice is the ultimate fashion (I hate this!) with the knowledge the crime doesn't pay! (I hate you!).

Even worse, Yoichi would enjoy being a ridiculous silver age villain. AFO's only hope is the times due to wonky writing that Silver Age heroes could come off as jerks. But that's not enough for him!

The best he can hope for is occasionally coming off as a bit of a jerk! Plus he'd have to deal with occasionally getting rescued by other heroes from truly ridiculous traps, and when he tries to kill them for the audacity they just end up laughing it off or thanking him for pushing them down just in time to avoid Yoichi's giant hairbrush shaped hammer

"Now if the attack on his hair pissed him off so much that he decided he needed revenge, not just to stop his brother, so he did the one thing he knew would force his brother to become a hero, help others, and hate every minute of it because he's now forced to present in a way that does not match his planned image for himself? Yeah Yoichi might call the karma."

Yes but having your hair ruined is exactly the sort of thing that would motivate a supervillain, especially a Silver Age type villain that Yoichi would totally be.

"Mwah ha ha! I shall destroy all hair care products in the city, forcing everyone to have worse hair than me! HAHAHAHAHA!

oh that's true, and if Yoichi forces AfO to be a Silver Age hero it's even better, because AfO would hate it even more than just a standard or modern hero because now he can't even have a grimdark anti-hero flavor to his style.

"#literally! got attached to Amaji so i had to make an au where she survives#even if you don't write or publish a whole fic it's just nice to be able to have a space to think 'ok but what if. they're really cool. what#if they got something better.'"

I did something similar. Funny how we get attached to OCs (at least sometimes).

Rare is the artist who doesn't feel something about a piece of their art, and I think an argument can be made that an OC (not just a drawing of them or a piece of writing about them, the OC itself) counts as art.

Oh I meant he picked up the worst brother trophy after he lost his separate actual participation trophy before he could get it. So getting the worst big brother award was the universe throwing him a bone.

He tried to have some marshmallows after that, but he couldn't set them on fire.

Ah I see I see then yeah.

He did manage to scorch the chocolate though, tasted awful on the burnt cracker with the raw marshmallow

"#the only thing he could ever win i guess. probably pulls a muscle picking it up"

He's grateful because his participation trophy was blown away by a gust of wind before he could get it.

Hey now, that's not his participation trophy, he genuinely earned it by being the worst to not one, not two, but three siblings!

Your Stars and Stripes DFO idea would make her death at TomurAFO even more telling because rather than use her third rule to protect herself, or her quirk, she instead deliberately sets herself to die and screw over her dad, so he can both realize he just killed his own daughter and that she cost him so many quirks at the same time...

He'd be proud if it weren't him this is being done to.

LITERALLY Kathleen considered what she knew from her long ago father that she could disconnect from but could never forget herself, thought about the physical damage she could do to his quirks or the mental damage a reveal would be. She could become his daughter but protect herself and hide, trying to draw his focus away. But that might only get some of his attention, and she would rather suffer those further consequences of him knowing. So she decided to do both. It gave the others the best chance against AfO, after all. Tomura could probably even take back control as AfO spirals and tries to figure out what just happened, because even as her body changed and reality snapped back, her smile didn't at all
