In the ongoing Final War arc of My Hero Academia, the author has spared no effort in depicting breathtaking battles. While fans have been treated to awe-inspiring fights, there are still two major showdowns yet to be concluded. One of these epic clashes is between the iconic characters All Might and All For One, while the other is the highly anticipated final battle between Deku and Shigaraki, marking the end of the series. As the protagonist, it is logical for the author to save Deku's fight for last. However, the battle preceding it, featuring All Might and All For One, is equally intriguing and captures the fans' interest. To everyone's surprise, All Might unveils a new power-up known as Armored All Might in their ultimate confrontation. While fans have already witnessed some incredible abilities possessed by Armored All Might, there is still much more to be unveiled in the upcoming chapters.
Armored All Might
Armored All Might made his debut when Yagi Toshinori single-handedly entered the battle to defeat All For One. Despite lacking any Quirk and being a mere shadow of his former self, many expected All Might to be easily defeated. Currently, All Might is no different from an ordinary human, while All For One is at the peak of his power. Even with the combined strength of multiple powerful Heroes, it seemed unlikely that they could prevail against All For One. However, fans were quick to realize that All Might had a secret weapon hidden in a briefcase. Most fans speculated that the briefcase contained heroic tools for him to use in the fight.
In the latest chapter of My Hero Academia, fans' suspicions were confirmed when All Might transformed into Armored All Might, donning majestic armor covering his entire body. Despite witnessing this incredible transformation, the majority of fans doubted that All Might would be able to put up a significant fight against All For One. Even the characters in the manga, including All Might's closest friends, lacked faith in him. However, All Might defied expectations, rising above adversity and proving why he was once revered as the Symbol of Peace. Surprisingly, Armored All Might put up an impressive fight against All For One, overpowering him effortlessly and emerging from the battle unscathed. This solidified in fans' minds that Armored All Might should not be underestimated, possessing numerous formidable abilities.
The Quirks Armored All Might Can Copy
Armored All Might's fighting style differs significantly from the familiar All Might that fans are accustomed to. While some of his unique traits remain, his combat approach has undergone notable changes. In fact, his fighting style bears only a few resemblances to his previous methods and now incorporates various Quirks. It's important to clarify that Armored All Might does not actually possess these Quirks. Instead, the powers of these Quirks have been replicated and integrated into the remarkable mechanics of his armor. Fans have witnessed him utilizing incredibly overpowering abilities, some of which even caught All For One off guard, leaving him powerless to intervene. All Might possesses an extensive arsenal of remarkable weapons that fans have already been introduced to, with undoubtedly more in store.
To begin, Armored All Might relies on his vehicle, named Hercules, as a combat weapon. Using this car, he is able to create a formidable shield capable of enduring even the strongest blows from All For One. In terms of Quirk replication, fans have observed him utilizing Red Riot, a shield armor that fully envelops his body when necessary. Clearly influenced by Kirishima, known for his defensive prowess in the series, this ability has been incorporated into All Might's armor. Additionally, he has adopted another ability known as Blackwhip, which fans are well aware belongs to Deku. As Deku inherited this power from the Sixth user of One For All, All Might witnessed its effectiveness and had it integrated into his own armor. This granted him the capability to launch whip-like projections from his body, which were witnessed impeding All For One's movements.
In addition to his other impressive abilities, he also possesses the power of Charge Bolt. This power is a duplicate of Denki's Quirk, a well-known electrical powerhouse. By utilizing his formidable armor, All Might can deliver electrifying shocks directly to his opponents. A memorable instance of him employing this ability was during his fierce confrontation with All For One. The shock not only incapacitated the villain, but it also nullified his regenerative abilities, enabling Armored All Might to unleash a series of devastating attacks consecutively.
Furthermore, in the previous chapter, fans were introduced to another ability displayed by him called Cellophane, which is a power he mimics from Sero. With this ability, he can effortlessly draw his enemies towards himself, preparing to deliver a devastating strike. Undoubtedly, this ability proves highly effective, leaving even All For One helpless, especially since the electric charge coursing through his body prevents his regeneration.
Additionally, Armored All Might possesses the power known as Sugar Rush, borrowed from Rikido Sato. Fans are well aware that Sugar Rush grants him a significant boost in physical strength, and All Might's version is no exception. This enhanced strength enables him to deliver powerful, bone-shattering blows to his adversaries, as demonstrated when he landed a mighty kick on All For One.
Future Quirks Of Armored All Might
All his remarkable skills combined to execute the Shoot Style Smash, an ultimate maneuver that inflicted severe damage upon All For One. Fans are well aware of Deku's expertise in the Shoot Style Smash, and now, All For One has drawn inspiration from his own student and employed this technique against his archenemy. Every ability he displayed was derived from his exceptional students, proving his exceptional teaching skills. However, there are still several abilities that remain untapped, leaving fans confident that Armored All Might has more in store for the future.Armored All Might has a multitude of Quirks that he could potentially unleash in the upcoming chapters. Some of the most formidable ones remain untapped, such as Bakugo's Explosion Quirk. Fans anticipate that this explosive ability would synergize seamlessly with an Armored suit. Generating explosions ought to pose little challenge for All Might, and a display akin to Howitzer Impact is likely to occur sooner rather than later.
Moreover, Armored All Might could potentially replicate the power to generate both flames and ice, a nod to Shoto Todoroki's versatile Quirk. The ability to wield acid is another skill that Armored All Might shouldn't find excessively difficult to mimic.
It is important to note that Melissa is an exceptionally skilled and talented scientist, making it relatively easy for her to incorporate these abilities into the armor. By infusing acid, Armored All Might can enhance the corrosiveness of his attacks, causing tremendous damage to All For One, particularly when he is already weakened. To further impede his opponent, Armored All Might could potentially possess a similar tool to Earphone Jack, which could dull the senses. Most importantly, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing more displays of the One For All Quirk from him. Given that this Quirk is his most familiar and cherished student's ability, fans have already witnessed him successfully replicate Shoot Style Smash in the previous chapter, ensuring there is much more to be revealed.
Possibly, fans will soon witness the Armored version of Detroit Smash in the storyline. Without a doubt, fans have shown great enthusiasm for the introduction of Armored All Might in the previous chapter. With more exciting developments to come, fans can only hope for additional surprises in the upcoming battle.
