My Hero Academia is currently in its Final Saga and has been an incredible journey for fans thus far. The Final Saga has delved into some of the most captivating aspects of the story, with most plot points already resolved. However, there are still some lingering questions, particularly surrounding the fate of the greatest Hero of all time, All Might.
Known as the Symbol of Peace and the most powerful character in the series, All Might's character struggled following the loss of his One For All powers after Kamino. However, he now makes a resurgence, battling not only against death but also his own destiny as he confronts All For One. This clash could either result in All Might's greatest triumph or the end of his heroic journey.
The Rise Of All Might
All Might is an extraordinary character, quite possibly one of the best creations by Horikoshi in his entire story. He played a pivotal role in shaping Deku's current self and maintaining peace in Japan, unexpectedly rising as a Symbol. His unwavering determination to fight against All For One's tyranny gave people hope, always accompanied by a beaming smile. Despite being born without a Quirk, All Might's heroic spirit never wavered. Recently, fans were given a glimpse into his past when he first met Nana Shimura. Yagi was already fighting against thugs armed with metal pipes, struggling without sufficient power. However, his unwavering conviction resonated with Nana, leading her to take him under her wing.
Under Nana's guidance and later Gran Torino's tutelage, All Might honed his fighting skills. Eventually, he inherited the One For All. He engaged in epic battles against All For One and ventured to America, where he further grew as a Hero. Upon his return to Japan, he triumphed over villains and became the embodiment of peace as the Symbol of Peace. All Might's journey is nothing short of incredible and deeply cherished by fans, especially due to its climactic conclusion in Kamino, where he unleashed the last remnants of his power to overpower and defeat All For One once and for all.
All Might's Death Foreseen
All Might, the strongest Hero in the series, constantly finds himself battling against the most dangerous enemies. However, the most villainous entity in My Hero Academia is All For One himself, who has terrorized Japan since the emergence of Quirks. It was inevitable that All Might would confront him, given that All For One had previously eliminated all remnants of One For All. These two powerful individuals clashed multiple times, with All For One leaving a lasting impact on All Might.
Despite this, All Might also managed to defeat All For One on two occasions, instilling fear in his nemesis. Their penultimate fight, which occurred before Kamino, was a thrilling display of combat that resulted in All Might's victory. However, it came at a great cost as he sustained a severe injury, with a large portion of his torso and lungs being destroyed. Extensive surgery was required for his recovery, and even then, his dear friend Sir Nighteye advised him to give up being a Hero. Nighteye possessed the ability to foresee the future, and when he glimpsed All Might's fate, he could only see darkness. According to Nighteye, All Might would meet a gruesome death at the hands of a powerful unknown villain. This fate loomed ominously over Yagi Toshinori, leaving a cloud of impending doom.
All Might Vs All For One
Fans were initially unsure of the identity of the villain in the fight. Nighteye's inability to recognize the individual suggested that it wasn't All For One. However, as the Final Saga of My Hero Academia progressed, the truth became clearer. All Might chose to once again take a heroic stand in the war. While others fought, he couldn't sit back and do nothing. His innate hero instincts compelled him to join the battlefield. His adversary, All For One, had become even more formidable by utilizing the power of Rewind. He had surpassed his previous achievements and operated on an entirely different level of power.
The presence of the Rewind Quirk explains why Sir Nighteye couldn't identify the villain. This version of All For One appeared much younger and almost unrecognizable compared to his monstrous past self. Yet, he was undeniably stronger in his prime state. Regardless, this battle was destined to be All Might's final one, and the threat of his impending demise hung in the air.
All Might's Fate
The ongoing battle between All Might and All For One has captivated fans as they witness the intense fight unfold. Surprisingly, All Might has been holding his ground impressively. With the help of Melissa, he now possesses remarkable Hero Equipment, an armor that enables him to utilize the Quirks of his own students. Combining this newfound power with his vast battle experience, All Might has surpassed all expectations, managing to land impactful blows on All For One. Despite being Quirkless, he has inflicted significant damage on his nemesis, impeding his regenerative abilities and forcing him to retreat at a faster rate. All Might's success hinges on his strategic approach, but any misstep could prove disastrous for him.
However, All Might himself is not unscathed. He has endured grievous injuries, visibly coughing up blood. His armor is on the brink of collapse, rendering him unable to sustain the fight for a prolonged period. This indicates that the conclusion of the battle is imminent, and fans eagerly await the revelation of the victor. Throughout All Might's journey, a prevailing theme has been his ability to defy fate and emerge victorious. Additionally, it is of utmost importance that All For One does not reach Deku, as this would result in unparalleled devastation and signify the loss of the ongoing war.
All Might faces two possible outcomes: either he defies fate and survives after defeating All For One, or he sacrifices himself in the process of achieving victory. It remains unclear which path Horikoshi will choose for the Number One Hero, but there is confidence that All Might will emerge victorious. Regardless of the outcome, he will forever be recognized as the Symbol of Peace.
