In the world of My Hero Academia, there are two sides to every coin: heroes and villains. But what happens when the villain is your own brother? That was the predicament that Yoichi Shigaraki found himself in. He was the younger brother of All For One, the most powerful villain in the world. But Yoichi was different. He was kind, compassionate, and had a strong sense of justice.
Despite being physically weak and sickly, Yoichi refused to stand by and watch his brother commit atrocities. He stood up to All For One, even when it meant putting his own life on the line. The blood of the covenant proved to be thicker than the water of the womb.
Yoichi in the Beginning
Yoichi Shigaraki was born in an era when Quirks began to manifest for the first time in human society. He was assumed to be born Quirkless, while his older brother was born with a very powerful Quirk. Despite their differences, the two brothers seemed to have a good relationship during their early years. They spent time together reading Captain Hero comics, and Yoichi was a big fan of the hero.
However, as they grew older, their different ideologies and mentalities began to clash. All For One believed that Quirks was a sign of superiority and that he was destined to rule the world. Yoichi, on the other hand, believed that Quirks should be used to help others, not to oppress them.

The Legacy of Yoichi Shigaraki
Yoichi Shigaraki’s courage and determination inspired others to stand up to All For One. He also played a key role in the creation of One For All, the Quirk that would eventually defeat his brother.
When All For One forcibly implanted a power stockpiling Quirk within him, it merged with his own Quirk, which had no other power than that it could be transferred to someone else, creating One For All. Due to his sickly state, he was unable to make good use of the stockpiling power and instead decided to pass it on to other people in hopes that his new Quirk would get stronger over time.
Conclusion
Yoichi Shigaraki was a true hero. He stood up to his brother, the most powerful villain in the world, even though he knew that he was no match for him. Yoichi Shigaraki is a reminder that even the smallest and weakest of us can make a difference. He is also a reminder that we should never give up on fighting for what is right.
