Listen.

Toshinori's in a bad spot.

He's old, he doesn't have his weather-changing super strength, he doesn't even have a healthy body. He's out of tricks, no more support gear, no more shields. His only ally on the battlefield may have just been completely removed from the situation.

(And because of the various shots of blood after that last big attack and the framing of the panels, I think he may have lost an arm.)

But none of that matters. Because right now he's not just a shriveled husk of his former self. Just look at the heavy shadows and actions lines we've all come to associate with his buff form. Right now he's as much All Might as he's ever been.

And because he's not dead yet.

He has reason to live beyond being a workaholic hero, and that's why the shadows over his eyes are gone. For the first time in years there's light in his eyes. The first time we, the audience, have seen them like this outside of flashbacks.

He's here. He's fighting. He's willing to die for this, but he'll be damned if he goes down quietly.

This is what really made him the number one hero. This is what really made Yagi Toshinori into All Might.

After all, the ones who smile are the strongest
