Contrary to All for One's usual habits of death, destruction, revolution of society and inhumane quirk experimentation, he did have a few milder hobbies.

After all, who could keep up that kind of megalomania 24/7? All for One wasn't so self centered as to actually believe that he was a god amongst men meant that could do no wrong; he only had to maintain said image when in the company of others so that they would think he was. It just… got boring, and rather tiring to maintain. It wasn't that All for One didn't like the attention and prostration and epic rivalry with so called 'heroes' (he did rather liked seeing others grovel), but he needed a little 'me-time', some R and R to get away from the hullabaloo of being the big bad villain behind the scenes for running on nearly two centuries.

Exhibit A of his escapism: Quirk Analysis.

It had been one of his original passions, and back in those nostalgic day during his medical residency, he fondly remembered gossiping about the latest medical phenomenon emerging due to quirks with the other doctors. Back then, he could even coax his brother into conversations about the then called 'superpowers' over those long-ago shared suppers in their small apartment. They talked about them like they were abilities from the comics they had both loved, rather than the emerging power imbalance that would throw Japan into chaos that they were. Quirk analysis also had the benefit of being useful for systematically destroying his opponents, so it was even useful in daily life beyond his bittersweet memories.

Thus, All for One's guilty pleasure of a hobby. All for One did not just lurk in the shadows of villainy. He lurked in both the dark and not so dark corners of the internet, heavily encrypted servers letting him troll hero's abilities and mock All Might while arguing about quirk developments and theories like the bitchy thirteen year old he was more alike than the god he pretended to be. It was quite cathartic.

Despite the destruction of a sizeable amount of neural mass and the loss of his vision, he kept up with the hobby. A stolen quirk that projected digital screens directly into the mind, at one time rather useless, became one of his top five favourite quirks. All he had to do after that was learn to type without seeing the keyboard and he was good to go.

With recent setbacks, All for One hadn't been able to set aside as much time for this passion as of late, as his criminal empire and eventual upheaval of society had been set back due to his grievous injuries (damn you All Might!) but he still managed to weasel in at least an hour a week to prowl quirk forums.

His attention was currently grabbed by an innocuous thread on his main feed. "How did four villains escape custody from Hero Windstorm?"

Ahah! A chance to mock a hero's ineptitude!

A click on the link revealed basic information on the incident, with a continuous stream of theories posted to the thread below as fans either mocked or absolved the hero's inability to hold onto three villains that she had apprehended stealing from a bank, and then, as she transferred them to police, was unable to hold onto.

From the info provided and his own quick internet search, All for One quickly deduced the following:

The robbery took place at 1:07 am. One of the villains' quirks jammed both the video feed and alarms within the building, so no outside warning was given until after the villains had exited the bank at 1:33 am. They had presumably knocked out the night guards present as well.

Windstorm was on night patrol. From 12:00 am till 1:15 am, she encountered no issue. At 1:15 am, a scantily dressed woman in a tight dress that was drunk as a skunk and uncoordinated approached her, loudly asking for a selfie. Windstorm acquiesced, then gently ushered the woman on her way and hailed for a cab to send her off.

At 1:33 am, Windstorm was perched on a nearby roof gazing down at the streets. The three villains exited the bank, and were only noticed by Windstorm through shear chance. Before they could enter their getaway car Windstorm descended upon them like some deranged homing pigeon. Villain A got pile drived into the ground courtesy Windstorm's knee to his chest. Villain B appeared to scream (the video surveillance provided by the site- probably illegally- didn't have sound) and dropped one of his sacks of lute in his hurry to reach the car. Villain C was frozen to the side.

What proceeded was a complete beat down. Within the space of three minutes, Windstorm had slashed the tires of the getaway car, knocked out Villain C, and tied Villain B with some rope that All for One actually didn't know how she had acquired. Logic dictated that she couldn't have hid it on her tight spandex clad form, but All for One had long ago accepted that in a world of quirks the impossibilities of female super-hero clothing was not to be questioned.

Based on All for One's observations, Villain A had been the one that had disabled the video surveillance, courtesy of the cords sticking out of his hands, Villain B had crab characteristics, Villain C was able to perform short distance teleportation if he snapped his fingers (hence why Windstorm had to tie his hands together when she roped him and Villain B together) and the getaway driver was quirkless.

How did All For One know this? Incredible deduction skills!…And, also hacking into government files. All for One wasn't some noob, using only the information provided on the site after all. He had skill.

At 1:44 am, Windstorm corralled the four villains together. The cops she had likely signalled to before the fight began rolled onto the scene with two vehicles to cart the villains off. Windstorm took a tight hold of the quirkless getaway driver, the only one who appeared to have combat skills seeing as he had taken the longest to apprehend. Another cop grabbed onto the ropes holding Villain's B and C together, and a second cop took hold of the seemingly unconscious Villain A. Two other cops stood off to the side like the extras that they were.

The villains and hand were then corralled towards the police cruisers, but then something happened that disturbed the clean arrest.

At 1:45 am, Windstorm lurched to the side.

When the cop holding him started in alarm at the Hero's sudden faltering, Villain B took the opportunity to sever the ropes binding him and Villain C together by awkwardly contorting his clawed hand under the ropes. Before the police could intercede, he snapped the ropes binding Villain C's hands as well.

At the same time, Villain A, previously appearing to be knocked out, revealed that he was in fact conscious by extending the cords from his hands to wrap around the neck of the police officer holding him.

The getaway driver slammed back their head against Windstorm and the Hero crumpled to the ground.

The final two police officers were too slow to help. Villain C, now free, snapped his way towards them, his teleporting allowing him to quickly take their guns. The getaway driver rushed them after they had been disarmed and punched one in the face, knocking them out, and then turned to confront the second- that officer managed to put up a fight. The officer that had been holding Villain B and C was knocked out by Villain B's crab hands, and the officer holding onto Villain A soon slumped unconscious due to the cords wrapped around his neck.

All the while Windstorm was completely useless. Apparently disorientated from the getaway driver's head slam, she stumbled upright and blindly threw compressed air blades forward while her legs teetered below her and her head lolled from side to side. All she managed to do was hit the only still conscious police officer, knocking him to the side. What a 'shame'- the officer had just managed to restrict the getaway driver's movements, and after the blast knocked them both down, the driver was able to escape.

The four villains raced off like the hounds of hell were on their heels. Unlike before where Windstorm had flown between them and quickly apprehended them, Windstorm was incapable of much beyond looking like an imbecile. The security cameras from all angles delightfully showed her face planting when she tried to use her compressed wind blades to propel her forward, trip into a car and set off its alarm, and propel herself into a light pole in her final attempt to catch up to the villains.

Alas- they turned a corner out of sight, and Windstorm was left in a crumpled heap on the ground beside the light pole, the four police officers behind her in equal states of distress.

All for One took a moment to contentedly sigh. A complete clusterfuck of justice caught on video and aired to the public. It really was the little things in life that made All for One's day.

Granted, none of this was actually Windstorm's fault.

It was clearly the fault of the civilian she had assisted at 1:15 am, who had illegally used her quirk on a pro hero.

It was easy to see for those who knew the signs. The scantily clad woman who had been roaming the streets had been clearly intoxicated, loud and obnoxious. When Windstorm made physical contact with her however, she immediately brightened, asked for a selfie, and was easily corralled into the taxi provided. All for One rewound the video footage provided on the site to the correct spot, and grinned when he found his evidence- there, where the drunk woman held onto Windstorm for balance- a slight glow.

If All for One were to guess what had occurred (and he knew his guess was likely correct) then the woman had a delayed status transmission quirk. She had passed on her state of drunkenness to Windstorm, with the effects untimely arriving thirty minutes later while she was handing over the villains. Hence why Windstorm acted like a concussed noodle that didn't know up from down. The woman's quick may have even magnified the drunken state she passed on.

Quirks really were incredible.

Other peoples' intelligence though? Not so much.

All for One scrolled through the posted theories, internally awarding scores based on idiocy, then, using his profile name, 'Darkseid89' (…it was nostalgic from the times he used to do quirk analysis with his brother, okay?) he mocked them on the glorious internet for all to see.

AllMightAllNight44: My bets that Windstorm got hit with knockout gas! The getaway driver didn't show a quirk in the fight- he must be able to release toxic fumes! Otherwise there's no way Windstorm could have reacted like that, she's in top 100!

Darkseid89: First off- lame name. Secondly- you are an incompetent waste of space, and here's why. The attached medical reports (if you had bothered to read them to validate your theory) CLEARLY show that Windstorm was not incapacitated physically. Don't waste people's time with wild theories.

AllMightAllNight44: Its you again! I thoght you got banned from this site! YOu TROLL!

Ha. Fools couldn't ban someone who had a quirk that could route through basic firewalls. When would they learn?

On to the next theory!

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: Wait wait, what about crab hand guy? Don't sea creatures have like sonar or something? He could defs have sent a blast at WIndstorm! And it could have disorientated her! People wiht animal qurks usually have secondary abilities!

Darkseid89: Who let a six year old on this platform? ReallyTiredOfYourShip, shouldn't the manager of the site have some vetting process in place? How disappointing…

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: I banned you again yesterday! Get off this server!

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: Though, ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2…. That is a pretty wild theory…

Glorious. Even All For One's enemies were forced to agree with his brilliance.

All for One glanced down with glee at the next theory to troll, and did a double take at the massive block of text before him.

SmallMight41: At 1:15:03AM, Windstorm encounters a civilian who is clearly disorientated. At 1:15:06AM, Windstorm helps stabilize this woman before she can fall. Between 1:15:06AM and 1:15:07AM, you can spot a flash of light from the civilian woman's hand as her palm makes contact with Windstorm's bare shoulder. After this moment, the woman's behaviour shifts. Whereas at 1:15:01AM she teeters to the side and almost trips, after the mentioned contact she loses all signs of instability. After getting a picture from Windstorm, she gets into the taxi hailed by Windstorm with no issue. Looking at camera (B) at 1:20:47AM when she is dropped off by the taxi, she exits with no assistance, and while looking down at her phone while walking, easily avoids cracks in the pavement.

SmallMight41: This previous disorientation matches with Windstorms actions at 1:45:08AM, in which she seems to lose her impeccable control of her quirk, and stumbles in a disorientated fashion. The theory postulated by this user is that the civilian woman is indirectly the reason for Windstorm's failure to secure the four villains. While it is difficult to speculate on the complete nature of the civilian woman's quirk, this user believes that it was likely a 'status transfer' quirk with a time delay. By tracking down the taxi used, police could then look through the taxi's customers at 1:15-1:20AM (allowing for possible errors in time on the taxi's end compared to the security cameras) that night using the app used by that company- identifying this woman could determine whether her quirk could have influenced Windstorm. This proposal is made based on the assumption that the civilian woman, who did not have a purse and no obvious wallet concealed by her clothing, likely made her payment using her phone through the taxi company's app.

SmallMight41: Then again, this user does not know how Windstorm managed to conceal a length of rope on their person while wearing similar clothing. In a world of quirks, it is very possible that the civilian woman indeed had a wallet on her person, and this proposed lead is not useful.

SmallMight41: Sorry if this theory is poor, just joined the site and decided to give some input, any critique is appreciated! Thanks

All For One stared blankly at the computer screen for a moment. His hands hovered over the keys as he processed what he was reading, before realization finally dawned. He had finally found it.

A quirk nerd like him.

Darkseid89: Interesting theory. Your username leaves something to be desired (quirk analysts should be unbiased by favouritism towards heroes when making deductions) but your reasoning is sound. I would suggest looking into counter theories that go against your own theory. It may sound strange to try and prove yourself wrong, but it will make your own theory stronger if you can objectively look at other possibilities and still have your original hypothesis come out stronger. Additionally, looking at other theories in the 'positive' light can reveal inaccuracies in them compared to your original hypothesis; this makes debate against other theorists more smooth when you fully understand their position and their own theory's flaws.

Darkseid89: For practice, I would suggest looking into the getaway driver. He is the only individual among the villains without a visible/shown quirk, and as the unknown element, would be the next most likely suspect.

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: What the hell Darkseid89 since when can you be nice?

BestJeanistInTown: Seeing the guy who once called me an 'IQ point away from mentally incapacitated' warmly encourage another quirk analyst is honestly pretty disturbing

SmallMight41: Ah! Sorry, the username was the first one I could think of!

SmallMight41: oh Wait also thank you! I appreciate your feedback, and I will strive to expand my abilities!

SmallMight41: But… in this instance, I am 85% certain that the getaway driver is actually quirkless? At 1:33:52, you can see that hanging from the mirror of the car that there is a baby blue air freshener shaped like a diamond- it looks like one of the pieces of merchandise sold at the 'Quirkless Not Worthless' convention earlier in the week in this city

SmallMight41: Usually only quirkless individuals go to those so it is highly unlikely that the driver has a quirk

SmallMight41: How was that for a rebuttal?

All for One stared at the screen.

Did this user just… Just…

BestJeanistInTown: Oh shit Darkseid89 got told! 'Here's some actually encouraging advice, try and be as good as me, huehuehue', then SmallMight41 just goes: 'Bitch please I already analyzed that.' How's that for a rebuttal indeed XD

ReallyTiredOfYourShip: SmallMight41 I think I love you please continue to wreck the troll that I can't get rid of. do what none of could do and out analyze him

CrimsonGal12: Lol love it. Wish I had popcorn

CrimsonGal12: Defs gonna keep an eye for you on the server from now on, SmallMight41. Darkseid89's a big jerk, you're our hero

ItWasTheOtherGuysQuirk2: HAH LOser look who got told now

SmallMight41: Oh no Darkseid89 that's not whaat I menat I really apprecieate youir help please please pelase I just wanted your opioni on my analystis I just really like quirk analysis and I pay attention to certain things that others wouldn't I will definatly look more into the getaway driver I could definitely be wrong!

CrimsonGal12: "Pay attention to certain things that others wouldn't" LOOOOL when someone tries to 'apologize' by saying they're sorry that you're too stupid to notice the stuff that they do

Somehow, the fact that All for One was pretty sure that SmallMight41 actually was sorry did not make him feel better.

Darkseid89: Very well.

Darkseid89: This means war.

All For One promptly logged out after this declaration. He would not engage in petty commentary. He was a 200 year old supervillain, a millionaire, and too important and powerful to bitch at someone on the internet that had just told All For One, indirectly, that he was a noob that knew nothing.

He would let SmallMight41 stew in his terror.

He would bide his time.

And when SmallMight41 inevitably made an error on the server…

He would DESTROY him.

…And if that didn't work, he could always track SmallMight41 down through his IP address and set their house on fire.

Damnit. The night was ruined. He was had saved a whole three hours in his tight schedule to browse the internet, but now he didn't feel like staring at a computer screen. There was nothing to do.

Or… well. He could call a certain individual… Someone who definitely did not have bearing on All For One's emotional well-being, not at all! They were just a conveniently placed chip against All Might, another piece held in reserve for another back up plan.

(A back up plan now set behind three other back up plans).

So. He didn't need to call them. But he had the time, so he supposed, just to have something to do, he could call…

All For One eased the tension in his shoulders. He crouched on the ground, and gouged open the floor to reveal a small, steel box at the bottom of a pit lined with sensors. By using an extrasensory quirk he disabled them, then pilfered the box from the bottom. Another quirk to open the seamless metal revealed the ominously ordinary smartphone within.

All For One picked up the phone. A tap on the home-screen button revealed 52% battery, and three text messages that send a swooping feeling through his gut. He ignored them, and after typing in the fifteen digit pin, made his way to the hauntingly green phone icon. The keypad appeared.

He slowly typed in ten digits. Then back spaced them all. Then, once again with careful precision, typed in the same ten digits.

He stared at the phone for a moment, before sharply breathing in and pressing the call button.

He shoved the phone up beside his ear, and slowed his breathing as the dial tone rang.

Ring.

Ring.

RINGGGGGG-

"Hello? Ah, this number… Oh! Hisashi?"

Hisashi forcibly pinched together his lips together to prevent the way they were quirking upwards, and slowly sank back into his chair. "Hello Inko- I had a break from work. Are you free right now?"

"Of course!- oh wait, one moment," she said. There was a shuffling on the other end, and a door opening. There was a periodic banging echoing, along with what sounded like deranged mumbling.

"Izuku," Inko's voice asked, "why are banging your head on your desktop?"

Some mumbles transmitted through the phone. Hisashi couldn't quite distinguish them, but it sounded something like "I made Satan incarnate my enemy", along with something about "all my apologies sound like lies". It wasn't very clear.

"Ah. Alright, dear…" Inko said. "Just make sure you're in bed before 11. And that you don't give yourself a concussion." More shuffling sounds followed, ended by a door closing again. The mumbling sounds ceased.

"Hisashi?"

Hisashi grinned. "Still here."

"Ah! Of course. Just had to make sure Izuku was set before we got talking- he's just like you, always getting caught up in his own world. If we don't take too long to catch up, you two could talk! I'm sure he would love to talk 'quirks' with you."

Hisashi, for once, did not want to talk quirks. Especially not with a thirteen year old boy. At least SmallMight41, despite being All For One's newest enemy, was intelligent. In his experience children were not viable conversation partners.

"Oh, don't trouble Izuku, I'm sure he'd do better with a good rest. Now, since the last month we talked, how have you been?"

As Inko talked, Hisashi let her voice wash over him. He did not need to talk to her, just like he didn't need to join quirk analysis forums and troll other users.

But he wanted to.

A man, even a 200 year old supervillain, had to have his hobbies, after all.
