Reader's Guide

Toshinori Yagi represents the culmination of a lineage of heroes who sacrificed their personal lives for the greater good. His journey began as a powerless youth chosen by his predecessor to inherit One For All. This unique Quirk allowed him to stockpile raw power, which he used to become the Symbol of Peace. However, the cost of this peace was immense. He retired after his rematch with All For One, which he won at the cost of the last embers of One For All. His greatest achievement was finding and training Izuku Midoriya. He recognized the selfless nature in the young boy and passed the torch, teaching him that heroism is about saving people with a smile. Even after losing his power, Yagi continued to teach at U.A.
