The Prophecy Of All Might's Death
: The final confrontation between the Titans in My Hero Academia chapter 396 marked a significant turning point in the story. With great emphasis, Horikoshi unveiled the culmination of their intense and storied rivalry. As the narrative draws nearer to its conclusion, the time has come to bring the curtains down on this legendary clash.
Yagi Toshinori has always been destined for a gruesome demise. This revelation was unveiled by Sir Nighteye, long-time fans will recall, when he disclosed that if All Might persisted as a Hero, he would ultimately meet a ghastly end. This revelation came shortly after All Might's harrowing battle with All For One, leaving him gravely wounded and permanently compromising his heroic abilities. Employing his remarkable foresight, Nighteye foresaw All Might's inevitable clash with a formidable villain, leading to his untimely demise. Interestingly enough, Nighteye deliberately withheld the identity of this malevolent character, and this enigma was ultimately unraveled for fans in chapter 396 of My Hero Academia.
According to All Might, there is a reason why Nighteye never mentions that the villain he will face in the future is All For One. It is because All For One has transformed and no longer resembles his former self. He is unrecognizable in his current state, which serves as a clear indication that Nighteye's prophecy has come true. This battle is the ultimate showdown that Sir Nighteye predicted, in which All Might will ultimately sacrifice his life and meet a gruesome death. However, deep down, All Might remains a true hero who is determined to do his part in saving Japan and, ultimately, the entire world.
Armored All Might
Chapter 396 of My Hero Academia kicked off with an astonishing display of bravery from All Might. Despite the overwhelming odds against him, he stepped up to the plate as a Hero. Unfortunately, his previous Quirkless status and weakened state left the onlookers skeptical. Even All For One himself believed that All Might's strength was solely derived from his One For All power. Now that he no longer possesses it, taking on All For One in combat seemed like signing his own death warrant.
However, to the astonishment of everyone present, All Might had a few surprises up his sleeve. Equipped with his new Hero Equipment, which had been teased to fans long ago, he was fully prepared for battle. Revealed as Armored All Might, he donned a complete body suit, living up to the predictions. This upgraded version of All Might, clad in heavy armor from head to toe, possessed an arsenal of formidable weapons within his fortified frame.
In reality, he possesses a powerful shield that he utilizes in a later confrontation. Despite his distinctive appearance, Tsukauchi and the others watching anticipate that All Might will meet a gruesome fate at the hands of All For One, as they believe he lacks sufficient power to defend himself. However, to everyone's astonishment, All Might rises to the occasion and surprises them with his remarkable expertise, acquired through years of memorizing all of All For One's weaknesses. Additionally, All Might discloses that this form was developed with the assistance of Dave Shield and Melissa Shield, whom he encountered in the United States of America.
Fans of the series may recall that these two characters also played significant roles in My Hero Academia: Two Heroes. With the support of everyone, All Might remains determined to permanently defeat All For One and contribute to the war in his own way.
Chapter 396 of My Hero Academia showcased Armored All Might after his transformation was complete, offering fans a glimpse of his formidable power and incredible mechanics. Despite its bulky appearance, All Might effortlessly dons the armor and utilizes its capabilities to the fullest. In the heat of battle, All For One rashly charges forward, delivering a fatal long-range attack intended to eliminate All Might in a single blow. However, there is a twist: All Might's trusty car, Hercules, springs into action, creating a robust shield that absorbs the brunt of the attack. In doing so, the shield sacrifices 66% of its integrity.
All Might swiftly surged forward, unleashing a barrage of energy-infused chords that forcefully penetrated All For One's body. This lethal technique, known as Blackwhip, showcased All Might's admiration and adoption of his students' abilities. Motivated to disrupt All For One's regenerative powers, he harnessed electricity to electrify the Blackwhip.
Utilizing the Cellophane technique, another skill inspired by one of his students, All Might swiftly propelled himself towards All For One. Equipped with a support item, he unleashed a devastating Shoot Style: Smash attack. All Might explained that ever since All For One had murdered Nana, his approach always involved initial long-range assaults followed by the theft of his opponents' Quirks. However, with All Might now lacking a Quirk, these tactics proved futile. Trapped with no escape, All For One became irresistible prey for All Might's ferocious strike, ushering in the decisive blow that would conclude the battle.
Just before launching his powerful attack, All Might reached out to Tsukauchi, expressing that he considers him his closest friend. All Might emphasized that when he enters battle, he never expects to lose or be killed. With these words, All Might unleashed a devastating Shoot Style Smash against All For One, leaving him shaken to his core and astonishing the world. This would be All Might's final appearance.
It is important for fans to be aware that this battle will not last for a prolonged period of time, as All Might cannot sustain high intensity due to the loss of his Quirk. Nevertheless, All Might has a plan and if executed perfectly, he should be able to eliminate All For One once and for all. This fight is a matter of victory or death. If All For One prevails, All Might will undoubtedly perish, but if All Might survives, All For One will never reach Midoriya. It is highly likely that the battle will come to an end in the upcoming chapters, bringing the war to a close sooner than anticipated.
