Highlights

  • All For One returns in the final battle of My Hero Academia, setting up a thrilling showdown with Deku.
  • Bakugo unexpectedly takes down the ultimate villain, showcasing his Quirk Awakening powers in a brilliant fashion.
  • Eri’s crucial role in healing Deku and potentially turning the tide against All For One adds another layer of excitement to the Final War Saga.



My Hero Academia has been focusing on the Final War Saga for quite a while now, and this section of the story has been incredibly exciting for the fans for many reasons. Of course, here, the strongest of Heroes and the most evil of villains have gone head-to-head, and naturally, the vast majority of the focus was always going to be thrown on the biggest villain of all, All For One.

In the Final War Saga of My Hero Academia, the author of the series, was seen handling his best villain as well as he did. It can be said that even though the Final War Saga of My Hero Academia had its ups and downs, Horikoshi handled All For One brilliantly from beginning to end. That said, his story has not seemingly wrapped up just yet. He still has one lost go in him and My Hero Academia will most likely be tackling it from here onwards.

All For One played a significant role in the Final War Saga and that was to be expected. Given that this was the ultimate villain of the entire series, he had to be at his very best in this arc, and at the same time, go out with a bang. Horikoshi worked on that aspect of this character brilliantly, and after he returned to his prime state, every single character in the series combined their strength to fight him off. From the likes of Endeavor, to Hawks, to many students, and even All Might eventually, all joined hands and tried to stop All For One in his path. It can be said that they succeeded greatly in this Endeavor, however, at the end of it all, the one who took him down was none other than Bakugo. After returning from death’s door, Bakugo rejoined the battle in the most emphatic manner and he showcased the powers of his Quirk Awakening against the greatest evil of all.

He utilized the power of his Explosion quirk and not only was he able to keep up with All For One, but he was also able to destroy him in battle completely. Bakugo crushed All For One, and while this was a shock to many fans, since most expected him to fall at the hands of Deku, All Might, or potentially even Shigaraki, it was Bakugo, against all odds, and he did so in a brilliant fashion. This way, the author ended up giving Bakugo his much-deserved role in the Final War Saga of My Hero Academia, and at the same time, it set the stage for the grand finale of the arc, which is the battle between Deku and Shigaraki. Ever since then, these two have been fighting it out, but now, the Final War Saga has seen a major twist in its final battle, as the greatest of all evils makes his return.

As was seen in the recent chapter of My Hero Academia, All For One made his grand return. This came as a surprise to many fans, however, it cannot be said that the premise for this return was not already established by the author. All For One has always existed inside of Shigaraki. In fact, this is something that fans have known for years now, and the only way that All For One was actually being kept out of Shigaraki’s body was his resolute willpower. Shigaraki’s own will had grown so strong that All For One was being suppressed, which is something that even he did not expect when he started his plan. Regardless, Shigaraki proved to be too much for him, and as a result, he was beaten at his own game in a brilliant fashion. For All For One, this was the biggest failure of his life, however, now, he has been given the perfect opportunity to reclaim Shigaraki’s body.


Deku tried to exploit Shigaraki’s weakness, and by doing so, he made him waver for the very first time. Where he was resolute in terms of willpower up until now, Shigaraki started to falter and this is precisely why All For One started to manifest himself inside of Shigaraki once again.
