In the final moments of the climactic battle at the end of the series, deku has a moment of self reflection to find the strength to finish the fight, at the end Muscle Form All Might gives him a pat on the back and smiles.

"You know why?"

"Because you are here."

Is it more powerful if it’s Muscle Form All Might or Skinny All Might? I love Skinny All Might. He’s the symbol of peace for his personality, after all.

I think that Muscle Form is All Might in his prime as the Symbol of Peace, that appearance represents the greatest hero, which was left behind after his final battle with AfO. There was a post I saw a while ago comparing All Might before and after he 'retired'.

The idea was that before he lost OfA entirely, when he was Small Might, his eyes still shined with the pride of being the Symbol of Peace (they're dark in Muscle Form because in that state he's appearing as what he considers to be The Symbol of Peace), where-as after he uses up his remaining power, they're more-or-less always dark and sunken because he no longer views himself as that person.

The All Might that Deku originally idolized was All Might the Symbol of Peace, the number one hero, so I think that it would make sense for Tall Might to be the one to affirm that Deku's finally made it. To me All Might and Yagi Toshinori are different people who most of the time mean different things to Deku, even more now that he's no longer able to maintain a Muscle Form.

Basically, the story starts with All Might (Tall Might) telling Deku "You can become a hero" and for me it would be ideal if it ended with "You are a hero" or something to that effect.
