I didn't like when Griffin made his second appearance in the show, they immediately started his plot with the Pee Wee Babies again. It's as if the show was making them his whole identity. Like we get it, he likes cute animal toys, but please not every moment of his screentime has to be about that. Now what they should have done is had him lie and say inside those boxes were something like food or perishables that were going to go bad. THEN later on in the episode when he steals the cold air reveal the contents were actually his toy collection. That would have been a much better choice and less on the nose.

Forced Quirk Activation is a very underrated and overlooked quirk in All For One's arsenal. So it doesn't just activate another person's quirk, but it controls it too. When it was used on Magne and Kurogiri, he was able to control exactly who the magnetism acted on and where the warp gate was taking his villains. This quirk was easy to use on his allies since Kurogiri was unconscious, and Magne wasn't going to stand up to the demon lord. But against the conscious heroes, the quirk would be hard to use. He didn't use it during his fight with Endeavor and Hawks since Endeavor was conscious and in control of his quirk. Trying to hijack Hellflame while also dealing with Hawks would be way too difficult to micromanage. Plus he'd burn himself by landing the touch.

The awakening would be that the quirk can be activated from a distance like Erasure. Not a big awakening, but a lot more useful from a distance since it originally required a single touch or via Rivet Stab. With this awakening, AFO would have an easier time messing with Hellflame, but it's not enough to fully hijack it. So, if AFO also had Erasure, then this would complete the puzzle. With both quirks, AFO would be fully in control of Endeavor's Hellflame, and aim it at Hawks. (Though they were up in the sky in this fight and Erasure alone would cause both heroes to plummet to their doom.) This awakening combination would fit All For One so well as he would have an alternate method of using people's quirks without stealing them.
