I Find It Kind Of Funny People Still Dont Think All For One Had A Tragic Backstory Cause, Well, He Did.
I find it kind of funny people still don’t think All for One had a tragic backstory cause, well, he did.
I get it, though. People believe that if a character has a tragic backstory, you’re supposed to feel sympathy for THE character or that the backstory excuses that character’s actions.
It doesn’t.
All for One’s backstory IS tragic because of what All for One COULD have been.
That’s the point. Even Yoichi states it.
AFO had the greatest Quirk of all time. He could have done so much good with it, but that didn’t happen.
This was because of multiple factors:
-Born with only each other in the gutter.
-Quirk activated in the womb. His urges already manifested. The “arrogance” and believing “everything belonged to him”.
-No parental figures at all
-A tumultuous time when society was collapsing
-Hunted and looked down upon as less than human if anyone looked at them at all.
-Living in the slums
-Having to scrap, steal, and kill to survive. To eat.
-Having the first escape from all this terribleness be ratty comic books
-Having no goal, no purpose, until the comic books. Until Yoichi decided on his.
-Comic books set in a world of black & white morality. Confusing them into believing this is reality.
There’s more, but this is a quick list.
ALL of that is why All for One ended up the way he is.
Others state in the epilogue that the state of society after the war is like it was when Quirks first manifested. That it’s the same kind of world that CREATED All for One.
Yoichi says he couldn’t steer his brother down the right path, but that alone means there WERE paths.
But everything was set up perfectly to create a monster.
It IS tragic. Tragic because of what could have been.

I uh, haven’t publicly shared my work much in the last 10 years? Wild.
Anyway, here’s an OC. She’s usually a lot more annoyed than this and I love her.
i dnt give a fuck!!! *starts crying*
The fact that I have to go through all my black dresses to make sure I don’t get a similar one to what I already have should be a wake up call but here I am.
