The spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 408 have already been leaked before its official release on December 4th. The latest chapter delves into the villain's past as Bakugo foils AFO's plans and triggers memories of the OFA second user Kudou.
In the previous chapter, we learned about AFO's origins and how he believed everything belonged to him from the start. This even included taking most of the nutrients from his mother, leaving his twin brother small and weak. Despite this, AFO kept Yoichi with him, seeing him as one of his possessions. Unfortunately, Yoichi ran away, leading AFO to erase him.

As per the spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 408, the upcoming chapter will be titled "Eyes Full of Determination!!".
The chapter began with AFO murdering his brother Yoichi in a sewer, leaving only one of his hands behind. This happened two months after Yoichi fled with Kudou and the third user "Bruce."
In doing so, the manga disclosed that AFO had named Yoichi because his brother was the first thing he had ever been given (Yoichi contains the kanji for "give" and "first").
On witnessing AFO killing Yoichi, Kudou's eyes welled up with tears. However, no such emotion could be seen in All For One's eyes, even after he killed his own brother.

Spoiler alert for My Hero Academia Chapter 408: All For One is shown in an apartment, fixated on Yoichi's hand where he had originally given his brother a quirk. However, the powers are now gone from Yoichi's body, prompting All For One to consider various scenarios. After careful consideration, he deduces that Yoichi must have passed his quirk to someone else.
In another location, a third user named "Bruce" was observed carefully examining Kudou's body. Kudou had been feeling off ever since escaping AFO's control. Soon after, Bruce disclosed that Kudou now harbored two different quirk factors within his body. One of the quirks was his own, known as Gearshift. Meanwhile, the other quirk was small and seemingly insignificant.
Chapter 408 spoilers of My Hero Academia revealed a page depicting AFO and Kudou's differing perspectives of Yoichi. One saw Yoichi in despair, disappointed at failing to stop his brother, while the other side saw Yoichi hopeful of AFO.
If All For One had truly cared about others, his ability to give and take quirks could have been one of the most benevolent quirks in the world. This realization led All For One and Kudou to agree that Yoichi's spirit had not been entirely extinguished.
The latest My Hero Academia chapter 408 spoilers fast forward several decades, showing AFO killing Kudou and Bruce before forming a cult. He then meets Dr. Kyudai Garaki and attempts to steal OFA from Banjo, En and Nana, only to fail. All Might subsequently destroys AFO's face, and the doctor steals his body from the morgue. In the present, AFO wonders if Katsuki Bakugo is Kudou's descendant, but given that he has already killed Kudou's family and anyone close to him, this seems impossible.
It finally dawned on AFO that the reason Bakugo resembled Kudou was because of their similar determined eyes. Bakugo's eyes were filled with the determination to defeat him. This meant that there was no connection between Bakugo and the second user of OFA.
Realizing this, AFO knew he had to reach Tomura Shigaraki quickly, but couldn't risk fighting and becoming younger. Instead, he decided to unleash all his quirks at once, planning to use the power to get close to Shigaraki and take out Bakugo. The vestige of Yoichi sensed the impending danger, while Edgeshot deduced AFO's strategy to use his energy volume to propel himself toward Shigaraki.
Such a move could turn AFO into a baby. It meant that this attack was his final gamble. As for Bakugo, he seemed confident that AFO's move would fail.

The chapter begins with a chilling scene where AFO murders Yoichi in a sewer, leaving only his hand behind. This act of fratricide showcases AFO's ruthless nature and lack of empathy. In contrast, we see Kudou's eyes welling up with tears, highlighting the emotional impact of witnessing such a horrific event.
The chapter then delves into AFO's twisted mindset as he contemplates the quirk that he had given Yoichi. The revelation that Yoichi passed his quirk to someone else sets the stage for a captivating mystery surrounding the origins of OFA. It raises questions about the nature of quirks and the potential consequences of transferring them between individuals.
