[Ginko is from a time long before comic books were a popular form of media, so he wouldn't really have any context for the type of Heroes All Might has surrounded himself with all his life, if he knew what the older man was thinking. There's the occasional tale of a hero slaying a dragon or somesuch, but those tend to be nothing more than bedtime stories for children.
The reality was so much more complex -- and in truth, humans weren't meant for such a role. They would lay down their lives to defend their loved ones, but it was for that very reason that they weren't meant to subsume their own hearts and souls to the mountain (to experiencing the life and death of every living thing upon it, from that of the smallest insect to an entire village) in such a way. If nothing else, Kaya had been evidence enough of that; the Rule of nature itself had admitted its folly in choosing her.]
My name is Ginko. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Yagi-san.
