My Hero Academia chapter 396, which was released recently, brought exciting developments in the ongoing battle between All For One and All Might. Fans have eagerly awaited this confrontation for months, and now it has finally arrived after the conclusion of the clash between Toga and Ochako in the previous chapters. The fight between Deku and Shigaraki will be saved for later, making the clash between All Might and All For One the second-to-last battle in the Final War Saga. In this week's chapter, fans were introduced to the impressive Armored All Might for the first time.

All Might Vs All For One

All Might and All For One have a long history together, having fought each other numerous times and carrying scars from those battles. All Might was the only one of the vestiges able to truly oppose and defeat All For One. However, there were instances in the past where All Might lost to All For One, leading him to retreat to the USA, as mentioned in the previous chapter. After mastering the power of One For All, All Might became significantly stronger and was able to finally put an end to All For One's tyranny. They clashed once again in Kamino, resulting in All Might severely incapacitating All For One. In the process, All Might sustained a devastating injury that forced him to pass on his Quirk to another person. However, little did he know that All For One had other plans and would return even stronger than before. During the Final War, where All For One seemed unstoppable, All Might took it upon himself to finally end their long-standing rivalry. As a Quirkless fighter, All Might stands in the way and is determined to fight him. This is the current state of the story in My Hero Academia chapter 396, which marks the start of this epic battle that exceeds all expectations.

The Creation Of Armored All Might

Fans eagerly awaited to see what weapon All Might would wield against All For One. It was clear that All Might would be at a significant disadvantage without his Quirk. Most fans speculated that he would carry Hero Equipment to aid him in battle. All Might was seen carrying a briefcase as he confronted All For One, confirming suspicions from the previous chapter. The briefcase revealed a powerful armor, transforming All Might into Armored All Might.

The creation of this battle suit began during All Might's time in the United States, where he formed a deep bond with Dave Shield and eventually his daughter, Melissa Shield. Together, they created this remarkable armor that greatly enhances All Might's physical capabilities, enabling him to rival even the strongest opponents with ease.

The Powers Of Armored All Might

Armored All Might is an undeniably formidable force. Not only does his menacing appearance intimidate opponents, but he also has the advantage of Hercules, his car, which can be utilized as a weapon. When faced with All For One's devastating attack that could destroy buildings, All Might relied on his transformed car, which acted as a shield and absorbed the majority of the damage. Although the shield was compromised by 66%, its strength was still impressive. From this point on, Armored All Might demonstrated his true capabilities, which were absolutely astonishing.

It is evident that All Might drew inspiration from his students and their unique abilities, known as Quirks, while creating Armored All Might. This is clear from the wide range of powers he displays during his battles. For example, he incorporates Blackwhip, which belongs to Deku, the power of electricity from Denki, Cellophane from Sero, and even the signature Shoot Style Smash, which is Deku's renowned ability. All Might has ingeniously integrated his students' powers into his battle armor, allowing fans to witness the incredible combination of abilities. With these powers, he is able to withstand and counter All For One, despite the villain's increased strength. Armored All Might can even disrupt All For One's healing abilities and deliver devastating blows to him.

The Potential Abilities Of Armored All Might

Armored All Might is far from revealing all of his capabilities. He has made it clear that he is not approaching this fight with a defeated mentality. His goal is to emerge victorious, and he is prepared to utilize everything at his disposal to achieve that. In the upcoming chapters, fans can expect to witness a range of additional powers and abilities that Armored All Might possesses. Considering his previous utilization of his students' abilities, it is reasonable to assume that he may manifest some of their powers in the coming battles. For instance, he can easily incorporate Bakugo's explosive abilities due to their mechanical simplicity. Additionally, Armored All Might may also employ Mina Ashido's Acid power during combat. Furthermore, the pyrokinetic and cryokinetic capabilities of Shoto Todoroki are also within his reach. Fans might also witness Armored All Might utilizing Kirishima's ability to harden himself in future chapters. Ultimately, the success of Armored All Might hinges on the abilities of his students. Fans are enamored by this power-up and desire for it to last long enough to permanently defeat All For One.
