Sixth One For All Holder | Roleswap
“Everyone in the world believes in one. In you.”
He is no older than the last one was, when Shigaraki first met him—twenty, maybe, if he’s stretching it. His eyes are dark. His mouth is hidden behind the collar of his suit.
Shigaraki thinks, quietly, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.
“The entire world— All their faith for one pair of hands. For the hero who has always stood since the dawn of quirks.”
He—En, one of Shigaraki’s quirks mumbles—speaks softly, flatly, sarcastically. He looks more like Yoichi than any of the others. It stings.
I’m sorry, Shigaraki thinks. There’s blood pouring from his mouth, and he wipes his chin. En might be the one to finally kill him. He’s the sixth one. Shigaraki’s brother was the first.
Shigaraki never meant to kill his brother. He only meant to stop him—only tried to prove that one leader for all would only cause the balance between quirked and quirkless to collapse.
“I’ve never forgotten.”
I know.
En steps closer to the bridge. Smoke spills and unfurls from his skin. Shigaraki thinks he can see the other five who’d died right in front of him—by his hands, even though he desperately asked, pleaded, screamed, whispered that he didn’t want their blood on his hands—within, haunting, still, refusing to move on.
En has Yoichi’s eyes. They all do: him and the five ghosts over his shoulder.
“And I’ll never forgive you.”
I know, Shigaraki thinks. I know.
All For One wonders when the time will come that he will no longer be strong enough. That One For All will surpass All For One. When they will stop throwing themselves at him, again and again, unwavering, flare burning brighter before snuffing out in a pitiful plume of smoke.
He wonders when he’ll stop killing young dreamers with his brother’s eyes.
All For One is the first hero. Hero society— and by extension, quirked society, has never existed without him. His power is never questioned. He is timeless, immortal, unkillable. He’s the best hero, the Symbol of Protection, right?

All For One’s hero name = All the world for one (for Shigaraki) to protect
All For One takes the young grandson of Yoichi’s seventh successor, a poor young boy whose quirk causes tragedy among his family. Tomura impresses him, and All For One wants to pass his legacy on to him. He knows it’s only a matter of time before he is killed, and Yoichi’s successors only want revenge. It’s only All For One that One For All wants, but he can’t let society crumble without him, and he can’t let One For All get so powerful that he kills innocent people in their routine fights
All For One has a family, but after Eighth— All Might begins to dismantle All For One’s hard work, he distances himself from them. He can’t bear to let Inko and his quirkless Izuku get caught in the crossfire. Especially not after he loses his eyesight to a fight he scrapes by to survive.
Except— Izuku looks so much like Yoichi. And when he has One For All, has Yoichi’s eyes, with the hurt of Quirkless discrimination that All For One’s own, rigid, timeless system created, that All For One’s parental distance created, All For One has to swallow the old truth—that he only fails the people closest to him.
