The rivalry between All Might and All For One may seem predetermined due to their quirks, but the new generation's rivalry between Deku and Shigaraki offers much more depth and complexity.
My Hero Academia chapter 411 spoilers revealed Banjo and En's description of Shigaraki. They did not simply see him as the "successor of All For One," but as "destruction" personified. The antagonist has previously been labeled a "monster" or "thing," defining his entire being solely by his actions and not the motivation behind them.

The older generation of society was focused on eliminating villains without questioning their origins, while the younger generation sought to understand and potentially help villains choose a better path in life. This contrast is evident in the difference between All For One and Tomura Shigaraki, as seen in the flashback of Best Jeanist explaining his preference to fight All For One over Shigaraki in Chapter 410. All For One desired to rule over everyone, while Shigaraki was intent on continuing his destruction until he had killed everyone.

Deku was the only hero who tried to humanize Shigaraki and was determined to save him despite his refusal to accept help. Shigaraki's resistance stemmed from his acceptance of the role society had forced upon him as the "villain of destruction" since childhood. In truth, Shigaraki himself suffered due to his "Decay" quirk, but no one ever took the time to understand him when he was young.
The fate of Shiagaraki's humanity remains uncertain. Nevertheless, the recent revelations from My Hero Academia chapter 411 spoilers indicate that Deku and Shigaraki are more than just symbols of "good" and "bad" - they are nearly perfected versions of All Might and All For One.

If it were All Might fighting Shigaraki, he may have overlooked Shigaraki's plea for help and simply defeated him. On the other hand, the latest spoilers from My Hero Academia chapter 411 indicate that Deku, who sensed Shigaraki's inner struggle, was also engaged in a difficult battle against him.
The dynamic between All Might and All For One was straightforward, with two powerful individuals fighting for their own goals. On the other hand, the dynamic between Deku and Shigaraki is more complex, as both are flawed characters shaped by their mentors. Unlike their mentors, their rivalry is not driven by their goals, but by their differing characters.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of My Hero Academia, I am thrilled to see the epic rivalry between Deku and Shigaraki finally taking center stage. The latest chapter 411 spoilers have left me in awe, as the intensity of their battle surpasses anything we've seen before. It's clear that this rivalry is not just a rehash of All Might vs All For One, but something much deeper and more complex.
The contrast between the older and younger generations' perspectives on villains is particularly striking. While the older generation was focused on eliminating villains without understanding their origins, the younger generation, represented by Deku, seeks to understand and potentially help them. This shift in perspective adds a whole new layer to the Deku vs Shigaraki rivalry, making it more than just a battle between good and evil.
