Izuku ‘translated‘ all the different waves of One For All already. He knows what the song of Yagi Toshinori is like.
If Izuku had to choose a single word to describe it, he’d pick “contrast“.
“Why?“ many would wonder. Why, indeed.

The man‘s wave is a peaceful and kind melody, giving you a feeling of safety and relaxation. However, those are just the obvious sensations you feel when you first hear it.
When you listen close to it, pay it more attention, you’ll notice that it also makes you tense. It’s only very subtle, but it tells you to behave.
Yagi Toshinori’s wave is a promise of safety to all the innocent people in need of help, but also a promise of punishment for people walking the path of darkness.

The song speaks of a bright and possitive persona. It‘s encouraging and always ready to lend a hand. It shows a person who likes to mingle with people, who will never give up.
On the other hand, there’s the subtle undertone of something mysterious. There are secrets unrevealed, forbidden tales unspoken, dark truths hidden. There’s a heart which wishes to disappear from people’s eyes, which gave up on itself for a long time already.
Since a certain, life-changing incident, the man is split in half, is split in “Yagi Toshinori“ and “All Might“.

If Izuku had to make a dance choreography, he’d definitely use “contrasts“.
The whole act would be slow with a few fast turns interwoven. It should show the kind nature of the man, but also how he won’t hesitate to raise his fist if needed.
The steps would be slow and strong, carefully placed with a certain confidence in them, speaking of the tightly controlled force in the man’s every move and the man’s strong belief in his own ideals.
The arms‘ movements would be smooth and gentle, never really opening, but always remaining around the chest area. It closes the path to the man’s heart and pushes away everyone who tries to get in.
All in all, Yagi Toshinori is a man who wishes for peace and has seen the battlefield. He is a man who wishes for life for everyone else and has seen death in front of his eyes. He is one of the strongest men walking the planet and he has one of the most fragile, damaged bodies. He is both strong and weak, bright and dark, life-giving and dying.
