Thinkin’ about how AFO needs hatred/anger to take back OFA, and how the vestiges are constantly warning Izuku to control his anger….
And thinking about the theory that AFO is able to pass on "parts of himself" in the quirks that he gifts others, plus the theory that there’s an AFO vestige or a connection to AFO on the other side of the vault door that the second and third users are guarding…..
Like. Did AFO accidentally give away the part of himself that feels rage and hates others when he passed on the stockpiling quirk to Yoichi…..? Or if he did it intentionally, perhaps he thought that giving Yoichi his hatred and anger would corrupt him and finally bring Yoichi over to his side— but Yoichi was able to overcome it, make it his own, and learn how to use that anger for good… or something.
Whatever the case, AFO definitely has a weird fixation on anger in general. And I think it would be fitting if he ultimately shot himself in the foot by giving Yoichi the one thing he would need to take OFA back, because he thought he could get Yoichi on his side if he could just force Yoichi to feel the same emotions. And it would fit with the ongoing message that anger itself is not a bad thing, as long as you don't lose sight of yourself and others as a result of that anger. But I’ll have to reread some parts before I can form more coherent thoughts.
