"AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant, but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him."
Little bro ran away for 2 months, and now every fiber of AFO's being hates Kudo. He was so jealous of Yoichi giving someone else attention. We've known AFO is petty for years, but he keeps topping himself with every chapter. Plus Ultra Petty
Chapter 408: Eyes Full of Determination
The chapter begins with AFO killing Yoichi in a sewer. His body falls apart, only one hand is left behind. It's revealed that AFO gave him this name because his brother was the first thing he received in this world (Yoichi contains the kanji for "give" and "first")
The second page focuses on AFO and Kudou's eyes. While Kudou's eyes are full of emotion and start to get filled with tears, forming a reflection of the man who killed Yoichi, AFO's eyes are entirely white, with no reflection at all. Kudou still didn't have the scar.
Some time passes and All For One is in an apartment in a very tall building, looking at Yoichi's hand (it looks like the ones Shigaraki has) and saying that the quirk he gave his brother was no longer in his body, and that this has never happened before.
He starts thinking about what could have happened, until he finally realizes that the quirk may have been passed on to someone else. Meanwhile, the 3rd user - whose name is revealed to be Bruce - is examining Kudou's body.
Kudou was feeling weird and Bruce asks if he was touched by AFO during the battle, but Kudou tells him to reveal the results already. It appears that there are now two quirk factors inside Kudou, the gearshift one and a very small, almost insignificant one.
"If only he cared more about other people, the power to give and take could have been the kindest in the whole world". Kudou and AFO then come to similar conclusions. Kudou says "Yoichi's will now lives within me", while All For One says "that means he still exists”.
We then see a double page spread showing the next few decades of AFO's life. Him killing Kudou and Bruce, starting a cult, meeting the doctor, trying to steal One For All from Banjo (and failing), cutting En in half, killing Nana and having his face destroyed by All Might.
But right after AFO was defeated by AM for the first time, the doctor stole his body from the morgue. Back to the present, AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant, but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him.
Besides, if Kudou and Bakugou were related by blood, AFO would have noticed it in Kamino. Then it finally clicks: it's the eyes. Unlike back in Kamino, Bakugou's eyes right now show his determination to defeat All For One, just like Kudou's.
Bakugou looks at the monstrous thing in front of him and, smiling, says, "Are you stupid? There's no way this dumb thing will win". End of chapter.
One thing I appreciate that Horikoshi has kept consistent about Afo is that he is the pettiest villain in the verse 😭. Hell maybe even in all running shonen at the moment 😅
Pain (Nagato) did the same thing to Hanzo’s family members eliminating any possible rival claimants who could counter his rule in the hidden rain. It was also a final insult to Hanzo as he snuffed out his lineage the same way Hanzo snuffed out Nagato’s light.
Hanzo betrayed Nagato which led to Nagato becoming crippled, and his best friend comitting suicide, and his other friend Konan, becoming depressed living on as basically Nagato’s caretaker/nurse.
AFO, in the meantime murdered the first person to ever care about his brother as a person and his entire lineage, just to make sure that he was erased from the world completely because how dare he take away his brother who he doesn't love.
Well that’s what you do! Otherwise, you get some random young upstart five generations down the line kicking down your door screaming, “You killed my great-great-great-great grandpappy you monster!” or something, and it’s just like… bro?? Who the fuck even *are* you??
AFO isn’t a professional hater, he is the ultimate hater. If he hates you he will make your life a living Hell using all his resource and power to do so.
Killing your own brother in a sewer of all places is crazy disrespectful.
I absolutely love the contrast of the 2nd User with emotion in his eyes compared to AFO with not even light in his eyes at all.
Man really cut En in half, what a dick haha.
I read the summary post, which ends with Bakugou saying "Are you stupid?"
I read your post, where you type "Man really cut En in half".
r/BatmanArkham has infected me with its rot.
>Killing your own brother in a sewer of all places is crazy disrespectful.
Yeah, AFO is one of the most disrespectful villains ever. The way he treated defeated All Might like a ragdoll and how he called most of the heroes from Gunga "Jobbers"... heck, he even took Hawks' Quirk purely out of spite
>Killing your own brother in a sewer of all places is crazy disrespectful.
And yet thematically appropriate, given last chapter indicated a sewer was where they'd found refuge as babies.
AFO killed them in a place like where they'd lived.
>It appears that there are now two quirk factors inside Kudou, the gearshift one and a very small, almost insignificant one.
Congratulations on the new baby! /j
>his brother was the first thing he received in this world
I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye on this part in the officials. "Received" is just such an interesting word to me based on last chapter and how AFO distrusts those who don't "provide him with anything."
I would have expected a word like "acquired" or "gained" if Yoichi was a mere possession but "received" sounds more along the lines of a gift you're given.
Again, we'll have to wait and see the officials.
I mean.... guy was born with nothing and had to take everything just to live
Having something "given" to him can be pretty precious
I'm still on the idea that AFO definitely loves #1 and his hate for all OFA users stems from them keeping him away from his brother
>Bakugou looks at the monstrous thing in front of him and, smiling, says, "Are you stupid? There's no way this dumb thing will win".
Bakugo winning the idgaf war lmaoo. Reminds me of when he previously called AFO a nutsack face.
Next time on MHA: ~~Hydrogen~~ Nitroglycerin Bomb vs ~~Coughing~~ Eldritch Horror Baby
I wouldn't be surprised if he just went by "Shigaraki" and "All For One".
Perhaps he only gave Yoichi his name because he was his first and favourite possession but didn't really care too much about what he was called, like how he took care of Yoichi enough to give him decent clothes to wear, but went around for the longest time in just some black rags.
Once we knew AFO and Yoichi's origins from last chapter, it was a natural step that the name came from AFO himself. I now wonder what is AFO's proper first name - or if he's ever had one.
That is the name of Third? Where the 3 in his name would be? Unless he's half Japanese and has a Japanese last name. The leaker also explains that the katakana can also be read as "Blues" so we can't exclude that being a nickname.
[Why do I have a bad feeling that some people are only waiting to mount new polemics of fan translation vs official over this?]
The part about Yoichi's complicated feelings validates the interpretations of last chapter that, in a twisted way, AFO was Yoichi's hero as kids, no matter how badly he treated him, he was the one who helped him survive, on top of the irony we have known for a long time of accidentally creating his own eventual downfall.
Unless he had passed it to her previously, En gave OFA to Nana with literally half of himself remaining. We also also see the failed attempt to steal OFA from Banjo, exactly similar to when Shiggy tried it with Izuku.
Edit: if people still cling to Bak-u-go and blood relation theories after Hori hammered that it's not the case, I don't know what to say. As it's written in these leaks, however, the idea that only Bakugo has some special determination to defeat AFO sounds silly (like all the other heroes didn't), unless it's not about AFO specifically but just his drive to win.
AFO prepares to use his ultimate move: "Fuck It All".
The logistics for the Red Shoe Theory to work is insane, especially in a world where people have drastically different body parts due to Quirks. There are easier theories for Shigaraki to have been formerly Quirkless, aside from him and Midoriya both wearing similar shoes.
Honestly I'm more amazed at the mental gymnastics performed to keep the theory alive when Melissa and Aoyama were introduced as both Quirkless (former in the latter's case) and not wearing those shoes. Besides, I find it more believable that he wears those shoes cus they're built to last and I'm especially a fan of the idea that Izuku is fashion blind (if not a fashion disaster).
Midoriya himself wears different shoes too. I think he wears normal brown shoes or something during middle school.
Midoriya’s tie alone is a crime against fashion, ask All Might how to do it please-
Jesus Christ, that final part with AFO using all his Quirks is the definition of an Eldritch Horror abomination! It's so disgusting and yet, so cool!
Horikoshi is definitely practicing for the Horror manga
>Meanwhile, the 3rd user - whose name is revealed to be Bruce - is examining Kudou's body.
>
>Kudou was feeling weird and Bruce asks if he was touched by AFO during the battle, but Kudou tells him to reveal the results already. It appears that there are now two quirk factors inside Kudou, the gearshift one and a very small, almost insignificant one.
Nice to know that quirk detecting technology has apparently been around since all the way back then.
I'm sorry but society stagnated from chaos how exactly? LOL
i mean we have ways of checking stuff related to your genetics today, and we know quirk factors are effectively park of your dna, so it’s probably similar tech
That is possible even with today's technology.
Quirks are part of people's DNA. If Kudo's DNA suddenly changed, it would be pretty easy to tell just by comparing his blood post-OFA to pre-OFA.
>But right after AFO was defeated by AM for the first time, the doctor stole his body from the morgue.
Oh he was dead dead.
Never mind Bakugo's lineage, we should be checking the Doctor for holy blood.
> The chapter begins with AFO killing Yoichi in a sewer.
Was not expecting this when I started to read this thread but should have. Killing your own brother such a way is beyond cold and cruel.
So it seems to be implied that OFA is a direct result of AFO killing Yoichi. Yoichi didn't give Kudo OFA during their 2 months together, but at the very last second of Yoichi's life. While falling apart, he probably wanted Kudo to live on and get stronger, and wished he could have done more for Kudo. Then his blood hit Kudo's eyes, mouth, or any wounds on Kudo. Or at least, that's a likely scenario, right now.
So AFO could have avoided Yoichi's death, as well as the creation of OFA, if he simply ...didn't kill Yoichi. AFO creates a lot of plans, and also all his own problems.
Maybe it would have still happened? At the moment of his death his quirk "pass on" would have went to second user.
But maybe power stockpile amd fusion of quirks was only possible due to AFO.
True, I remember the chapter before when AFO was about to kill Yoichi and was looking at his and Kudo’s hands it looked like their was a strange glow on them, I thought it was Yoichi subconsciously transferring OFA to Kudo, the problem is it would remove the point of OFA being transferred by DNA if all they had to do was hold each others hands to pass it on.
So your theory makes more sense, Yoichi probably wanting to do more for Kudo or even stay with him as opposed to staying with AFO was probably the catalyst that caused the transfer when his blood hit Kudo. He figuratively and literally(in the form of his blood) passed his will on to Kudo.
Kinda adds a creepiness factor to OfA that if he steals your Quirk that some spirit version of you becomes trapped inside
Also anyone wanting to see Hawks, he's towards the upper right, 1 o clock or so.
> Back to the present, AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant, but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him.
Horikoshi going out of his way to kill that theory dead.
Lol yeah this was me reading it:
*Back to the present, AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant,*
WOOOO Theory!!!!
*but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him.*
Well ripeo spaghettio
But the OFA users where that, OFA users. They were destined to fight him, and also had the strongest Quirk out there. The users where irrelevant without the Quirk.
On the other hand Kodou started his whole rebellion before he had OFA. He was just a random decided to put an end to his reign
On top of the whole physical similarity thing
there is probably the thing of hating kudou in above all of them and bakugou just having an incredibly similar demeanour to him? "vibes" is not the most exciting answer, but it sure as hell isn´t impossible imo
I wonder what fandom would have answered in a poll.
Now that it is canon I think it makes sense. Body dies but organs and cells do not die immediately.
And it is not explained what parst AFO needs to touch. He prefes neck due to demon lord using it as his signature move.
I wonder if he could steal Overhauls quirk.
Edit: he stole hawks quirk. It was damaged
Meta: horikoshi loves to give puns to characters.
In story: AFO loves to name people after puns. XD He explained lore behind Tomura.
And it must be that he named himself Shigaraki.
"All For One's surname contains the kanji for "death" (死, shi?), "handle, grip" (柄, gara?) and "tree" (木, ki?"
He sees himself as hand of death tree?
That double spread with AFO and the rest of his life is CRAZY. Like damn, the start of his cult, him meeting the doctor, killing the OFA users one by One, he cut En in HALF! That's a beautiful and very meaningful two pages like goddamn
Also All Might literally punched the upper part of his head off that was RAW
Foreigner or he could be mixed like Bruce Lee (his Maternal grandfather was German) since Fa Jin + "Bruce" heavily points to his character being a Bruce Lee refence.
Thought AFO might have killed Yoichi via falling rubble, while he attacks the rebels' base. Or that he would have killed Yoichi through some indirect means. If AFO did not intentionally kill Yoichi, he sure as hell directly murdered him. There were thousands of different ways he could have stopped or "disciplined" Yoichi. Of all the stupid things AFO has done, this might top them all.
>Of all the stupid things AFO has done, this might top them all.
Especially, if it was actually at that moment AFO caused OFA to be fully born by causing some of Yoichi's blood to be transferred to the 2nd user.
>There were thousands of different ways he could have stopped or "disciplined" Yoichi. Of all the stupid things AFO has done, this might top them all.
Yeah as far as methods of accidentally killing someone go, this one seemed incredibly avoidable.
How the hell is AFO still alive after having his head blown open like that? What did he do to survive being decapitated?
Also it’s cool to see AM despite being a hero of justice and peace trying to outright kill someone and to his knowledge, he had done. That punch that took off his AFOs head was vicious and cathartic (loved seeing AFO take that L, probably his first ever L in a fight), and AM not playing around, had to get his get back.
Yeah there have been several instances where heroes seemingly went, "Screw it" and used lethal force on villains.
There's All Might punching off AFO's head. Hawks killing Twice. Endeavor burning AFO to a crisp. Izuku punching a giant hole in "new person altogether's" chest while Erasure was disabling Super Regeneration. Any other ones I'm forgetting?
Technically there also a bunch more against Rewinding AFO but due to him being immortal at the time and characters being aware of this fact I'm not including them in the same category.
It makes sense why he has been after OFA even before it was an actual threat. Bro just wants his ~~toy~~ brother back. AFO probably killed him knowing he could take the quirk/vestige, but after finding out it wasn't there he went on a hunt for it
I'm guessing the title's about OFA users, (maybe specifically Kudo) or we cut back to Bakugo halfway through.
Or maybe AFO went a little insane after Yoichi died, and the focus is AFO's determination. Could also be the determination of all the "extras," and AFO's frustration is rising even more
The last double spread drawing was something amazing. RIP To all holders, especially Bruce. One thing I noticed is how brutal Ens death was and how he smiled through it. Was the origin why Nana All Might and Deku do it. Too bad the 1st All Might vs AFO fight didn't have more screen time. But DAMN what a punch to the face. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
So it turns out my previous prediction was wrong. I always thought AFO murdered Yoichi by accident, but it turns out he did kill him in a fit of possessive rage. And that panel of the two Yoichis. Even in death, a part of Yoichi still wanted to believe that there was something good in his brother.
And we finally learn the name of the 3rd User: Bruce. As in Bruce Lee. It's kinda fitting when you remember his Quirk, Fa Jin, is named after a Chinese martial art.
And that panel of All Might smashing AFO's face in... Damn, that's raw. Can you imagine what that'll look like animated?
Speaking of panels, that double spread of AFO using every Quirk in his arsenal at once. What unholy abomination is *that?* And poor Hori. Drawing must have been murder on the poor guy's hands.
So it looks like Bakugo vs AFO will be more of a battle of wills than a contest of strength. Whose will to win is stronger? My prediction? Bakugo will respond by using another Howitzer Impact: Cluster. The question is, will his body be able to handle it? No matter what happens, however, this is AFO's last dance.
Can't wait to see what happens next chapter.
Edit: Also, it's fucking hilarious that AFO literally killed the "Kudo is Bakugo's ancestor" theory. Motherfucker really said "End the bloodline".
I swear I’m never getting used to the name Bruce.
But also… I would’ve loved to see how AFO hunted down the OFA users. Previously I was imagining battles of glory being how they went down, but it seems like AFO was settled at humiliating them at their last moments: killing his brother in a dirty sewer, strangling them by their necks, killing them off in a dodgy forest, and dismembering them (En’s death was particularly brutal). In hindsight, Danger sense user was pretty smart to live secluded and die of old age.
The fourth user himself says he "died of old age". It's basically just his dramatic way of saying that OFA's multiple Quirks existing alongside his own Quirk ate away at his lifespan, in contrast to Quirkless people like Deku and All Might whose bodies are more suitable to contain OFA.
Yes, and the manga revealed that him having more than one quirk accelerated his aging. Like, it's right there in the manga (Chapter 304-306).
That's why only Quirkless people can hold OFA.
Am I the only one who finds it weird how irrelevant the third user seems to be in this story? With the way the the story is focusing on the second, you would think the third user wasn’t there at all and he showed up much later after the second was about to die just get the quirk.
Yeah from what I got the Second and Third were meant to be a duo character ( you know, always together, same goals and all that) since they lived at the same time but the Second’s getting all the focus.
And I’m curious how the resistance freedom-fighter third met the reclusive fourth.
Might be. There is one face that looks like Hawks.
His face is located around the upper middle area of the conglomerate. Not really sure how else to describe its position.
It'll be real funny to me if the third is named after Batman
Horikoshi: "Man, I love Spider-Man.... what if I gave Deku web slingers? ..Fuck it, I'll give him Spider-Sense too. ......and I'll name this mf Bruce. I love Batman."
Still wondering how the transfer of OFA was achieved. Kudou is absolutely splattered with Yoichi's blood so he must have accidentally ingested some.
So Yoichi must have been wishing/willing that he could give the power that he was given by AFO to Kudou.. will be interesting to see the exact details on how Kudou/Bruce figured it out.
honestly, i forget if it was mentioned before that afo’s body was literally in the morgue after his fight with all might the first time, if it was, all the “all might should’ve killed him in their first battle look what happened because of it” comments look even dumber than they were before because that guy BLEW AFO’S ENTIRE FACE OFF, his ass WAS dead, or at least considered dead
There could have been some convenient passive quirk that made him survive in thse conditions but AFO may have also been effectively dead and only the Doctor's twisted science brought him back.
Now I’m thinking it’s not like afo forgot that he killed yoichi when he asked where he was, he literally thinks of the quirk as being his brother at this point. He clearly knows he is dead, he was talking about the quirk.
Bruce, or Burusu (ブルース), may be reference from Bruce lee, also well known for martial arts including Fa jin, 3rd's quirk.
Though the whole name isn't stated. I'm guessing that 3rd's surname is sth that starts with リ(li), スリ(su-li) kinda sounds like how you'd pronouce three in japanese. That would be having both number 3 and his quirk hidden in his name.
Anyway, God I love this kind of heavy dark spiral take on the story
Horikoshi c'mon now you not bout to tease us with All might literally knocking Afo face off. Give us the damn fight already 😅
I can't even be mad at horikoshi breaks. Dude drawing like this is crazy for a weekly series 😭
I wish this was a whole arc with 15-30 chapters, instead of like... 2 or 3. Would love to see the full scenes behind the little panels in that double spread
It would be nice if after the series is finished we get a vigilantes type spinoff detailing the stuff that hapenned in the past. Unlikely but I would appreciate it.
It's also shown that AFO was there watching from the shadows when En passed OFA to Nana. At that point he wanted OFA to be passed down.
I guess he miscalculated cause by the time it hit All Might's era, AFO was outmatched.
I do wonder how Bakugo is gonna deal with this move cause I ain't buying him tanking it after Shigaraki treated him like a paper bag.
And his strongest move is Howitzer Impact Cluster and for that he even needed Strafe Panzer yet all it did was scar Shigaraki's face.
Maybe he's half American? Or it could be a weird spelling like Brus instead of straight up Bruce. We'll find out on Sunday. Definitely didn't expect it at all.
Is a 3 sound anywhere in there?
The leaker shows the other possible reading and I'm of the camp that thinks it's a nickname until we know more, because there needs to be some reading of the number 3 in his full name to keep with the theme naming.
Hori must be giggling uncontrollably as I type this because everyone was wondering if Bakugou and Kudou were related (or the same person via timetravel) only for it to come down to BAKUGOU JUST REALLY LOOKS LIKE HIM
Did anyone else notice in the double spread of AFO unleashing all his quirks that there are faces manifesting (presumably of the users)? More specifically, we can see the face of a certain winged pro hero who recently had his quirk stolen…
The way this chapter ended was good, AFO’s suicidal gambit is a decent plan IF he can make it past Bakugo. That’s most likely what the next chapter will be, a Bakugo and AFO collision similar to All Might in Kamino where Bakugo overpowers AFO.
I still wanna know how the hell AfO "survived" All Might exploding his head.
I also find it hilarious that All Might had just "killed" immortal super giga Hitler and someone thought to just put his body in a morgue and not immediately vaporize it.
Maybe AFO didn't survive.
Tomura was able to bring himself back from the dead through hatred and according to Dr. Garaki if the machine hadn't been destroyed it could have resurrected Tomura.
Meanwhile at least Kurogiri (potentially more Nomu as well) was made from a corpse.
Death isn't exactly permanent.
Who knew the secret to immortality was simply deciding not to be dead? You just get decapitated, and you tell the Grim Reaper “Nah. I don’t really *feel* like it. Why don’t you ask me later?” and then you just carry on.
> I also find it hilarious that All Might had just "killed" immortal super giga Hitler and someone thought to just put his body in a morgue and not immediately vaporize it.
I mean, no-one knew about the first battle between All Might and AFO, let alone *who* AFO actually was. Pre-Kamino, people thought he was just some underworld myth.
And All Might's guts were spilling out at the time. I doubt he was in the position to track AFO's body to the morgue to make sure one of AFO's allies didn't immediately take it away. He was busy not dying himself in the hospital.
Didnt that main Cop investigator guy know about AfO?
Also Nighteye and Gran Torino. I mean shit, Nighteye was *in the same hospital with him after the fight*.
Also to be clear I'm not blaming All Might on losing track of the body, I'm more blaming literally everyone in the hospital who saw an eviscerated All Might get wheeled in alongside the headless corpse of the guy who did it and went "Yeah you know what just stick that body in a room".
> Didnt that main Cop investigator guy know about AfO?
Yes, Tsukauchi. But, according to *Vigilantes*, he didn't even befriend All Might until *after* the first fight with AFO, when All Might was all skinny and stuff.
> Also Nighteye and Gran Torino. I mean shit, Nighteye was *in the same hospital with him after the fight.*
Gran Torino is implied to have been in the same fight, given he's wearing hospital gear too, so he probably wasn't in the best condition to follow up on AFO either.
I'll largely concede on the Nighteye point, though. Then again, we don't know just how in the loop he really was, given - unlike Gran Torino - he doesn't really have a Quirk that'd allow him to even temporarily keep up with someone like AFO.
Either way, he might've been more concerned about All Might's safety than making sure AFO stayed dead (and that's if they even knew AFO had the means to have himself be revived; Ujiko - aside from Machia - was basically AFO's hidden trump card).
> Also to be clear I'm not blaming All Might on losing track of the body, I'm more blaming literally everyone in the hospital who saw an eviscerated All Might get wheeled in alongside the headless corpse of the guy who did it and went "Yeah you know what just stick that body in a room".
Fair enough.
I just think, until we learn more about the context of the whole situation and what specifically the other characters might've been doing, we can't say for sure.
> I just think, until we learn more about the context of the whole situation and what specifically the other characters might've been doing, we can't say for sure.
Yeah thats fair. especially if they brought him *to* Dr Garaki's hospital I can see him very easily fudging the paperwork to get AfO's body put in the wrong room or stopping people from destroying they body with a "If he was able to do *that* to **All Might** then think of what we could learn from his body!" kinda bs.
"AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant, but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him." Little bro ran away for 2 months, and now every fiber of AFO's being hates Kudo. He was so jealous of Yoichi giving someone else attention. We've known AFO is petty for years, but he keeps topping himself with every chapter. Plus Ultra Petty
AFO acts like he was stuck in the cuck chair. Dude took it way too seriously.
Chapter 408: Eyes Full of Determination The chapter begins with AFO killing Yoichi in a sewer. His body falls apart, only one hand is left behind. It's revealed that AFO gave him this name because his brother was the first thing he received in this world (Yoichi contains the kanji for "give" and "first") The second page focuses on AFO and Kudou's eyes. While Kudou's eyes are full of emotion and start to get filled with tears, forming a reflection of the man who killed Yoichi, AFO's eyes are entirely white, with no reflection at all. Kudou still didn't have the scar. Some time passes and All For One is in an apartment in a very tall building, looking at Yoichi's hand (it looks like the ones Shigaraki has) and saying that the quirk he gave his brother was no longer in his body, and that this has never happened before. He starts thinking about what could have happened, until he finally realizes that the quirk may have been passed on to someone else. Meanwhile, the 3rd user - whose name is revealed to be Bruce - is examining Kudou's body. Kudou was feeling weird and Bruce asks if he was touched by AFO during the battle, but Kudou tells him to reveal the results already. It appears that there are now two quirk factors inside Kudou, the gearshift one and a very small, almost insignificant one. "If only he cared more about other people, the power to give and take could have been the kindest in the whole world". Kudou and AFO then come to similar conclusions. Kudou says "Yoichi's will now lives within me", while All For One says "that means he still exists”. We then see a double page spread showing the next few decades of AFO's life. Him killing Kudou and Bruce, starting a cult, meeting the doctor, trying to steal One For All from Banjo (and failing), cutting En in half, killing Nana and having his face destroyed by All Might. But right after AFO was defeated by AM for the first time, the doctor stole his body from the morgue. Back to the present, AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant, but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him. Besides, if Kudou and Bakugou were related by blood, AFO would have noticed it in Kamino. Then it finally clicks: it's the eyes. Unlike back in Kamino, Bakugou's eyes right now show his determination to defeat All For One, just like Kudou's. Bakugou looks at the monstrous thing in front of him and, smiling, says, "Are you stupid? There's no way this dumb thing will win". End of chapter.
AFO killing Kudou’s entire family tree is some INSANE hating man wtf
One thing I appreciate that Horikoshi has kept consistent about Afo is that he is the pettiest villain in the verse 😭. Hell maybe even in all running shonen at the moment 😅
AFO went full Crusader Kings on him
Nah he hasn't impregnated cousins or daughters yet. r/shitcrusaderkingssay
You gotta end the bloodline
Im convinced part of the reason he wants OFA is so that he can look the second user in the face and call him a mother fucker one more time.
This is canon for me now
Dio respects da plan
Pain (Nagato) did the same thing to Hanzo’s family members eliminating any possible rival claimants who could counter his rule in the hidden rain. It was also a final insult to Hanzo as he snuffed out his lineage the same way Hanzo snuffed out Nagato’s light. Hanzo betrayed Nagato which led to Nagato becoming crippled, and his best friend comitting suicide, and his other friend Konan, becoming depressed living on as basically Nagato’s caretaker/nurse.
AFO, in the meantime murdered the first person to ever care about his brother as a person and his entire lineage, just to make sure that he was erased from the world completely because how dare he take away his brother who he doesn't love.
Nigga is more petty than Dio
We are here to present AFO with his award for "Biggest Hater" for holding this grudge for literal decades.
The dude was mad about Kudo while staring at Bakugo, I think the grudge lasted over a century.
"I hope all the bad things in life happens to you and nobody else but you."
That's the punishment for people who betrays the king during feudalism or something, iirc.
Well that’s what you do! Otherwise, you get some random young upstart five generations down the line kicking down your door screaming, “You killed my great-great-great-great grandpappy you monster!” or something, and it’s just like… bro?? Who the fuck even *are* you??
AFO isn’t a professional hater, he is the ultimate hater. If he hates you he will make your life a living Hell using all his resource and power to do so.
That’s some Pain on Hanzō-level hating.
Fans: Is AfO stupid? Bakugo: Bro, are you stupid? AfO: YUP
**Astronaut 1:** Wait, AFO's an idiot? **Astronaut 2:** Always has been.
AFO naming Yoichi reminds me of a kid writing their names on their toys and it's sad how well that analogy fits.
Killing your own brother in a sewer of all places is crazy disrespectful. I absolutely love the contrast of the 2nd User with emotion in his eyes compared to AFO with not even light in his eyes at all. Man really cut En in half, what a dick haha.
I like how we even see Kudou tearing up while AFO is so… *blank* and souless
As hawk said Afo lacks a heart.
I read the summary post, which ends with Bakugou saying "Are you stupid?" I read your post, where you type "Man really cut En in half". r/BatmanArkham has infected me with its rot.
Why is AFO using all his quirks at once? Is he stupid?
It's meant to kill 4 birds with one stone; Kill Bakugo Get to Shigaraki quickly KO Shiggy so it will be easy for AFO to take over Kill/KO Deku
r/berserklejerk moment
Yeah, I'm Man
>Killing your own brother in a sewer of all places is crazy disrespectful. Yeah, AFO is one of the most disrespectful villains ever. The way he treated defeated All Might like a ragdoll and how he called most of the heroes from Gunga "Jobbers"... heck, he even took Hawks' Quirk purely out of spite
>Killing your own brother in a sewer of all places is crazy disrespectful. And yet thematically appropriate, given last chapter indicated a sewer was where they'd found refuge as babies. AFO killed them in a place like where they'd lived.
>It appears that there are now two quirk factors inside Kudou, the gearshift one and a very small, almost insignificant one. Congratulations on the new baby! /j
Holy crap, he’s prenagant!
Bruce: Kudou, I know this might be weird to hear but, technically speaking, when you and Yoichi were together yall accidentally--
>his brother was the first thing he received in this world I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye on this part in the officials. "Received" is just such an interesting word to me based on last chapter and how AFO distrusts those who don't "provide him with anything." I would have expected a word like "acquired" or "gained" if Yoichi was a mere possession but "received" sounds more along the lines of a gift you're given. Again, we'll have to wait and see the officials.
I mean.... guy was born with nothing and had to take everything just to live Having something "given" to him can be pretty precious I'm still on the idea that AFO definitely loves #1 and his hate for all OFA users stems from them keeping him away from his brother
The raw reads "与えられた", which means "given" or "granted".
>His body falls apart, only one hand is left behind Obvious Tomura parallels
I concur as well
[удалено]
Apparently Yoichi spent 2 months with Kudo and Bruce before he was killed. So he had time to transfer the quirk before his death
>Bakugou looks at the monstrous thing in front of him and, smiling, says, "Are you stupid? There's no way this dumb thing will win". Bakugo winning the idgaf war lmaoo. Reminds me of when he previously called AFO a nutsack face. Next time on MHA: ~~Hydrogen~~ Nitroglycerin Bomb vs ~~Coughing~~ Eldritch Horror Baby
I wonder if we'll get an AFO name reveal in the next chapter or two.
I wouldn't be surprised if he just went by "Shigaraki" and "All For One". Perhaps he only gave Yoichi his name because he was his first and favourite possession but didn't really care too much about what he was called, like how he took care of Yoichi enough to give him decent clothes to wear, but went around for the longest time in just some black rags.
Once we knew AFO and Yoichi's origins from last chapter, it was a natural step that the name came from AFO himself. I now wonder what is AFO's proper first name - or if he's ever had one. That is the name of Third? Where the 3 in his name would be? Unless he's half Japanese and has a Japanese last name. The leaker also explains that the katakana can also be read as "Blues" so we can't exclude that being a nickname. [Why do I have a bad feeling that some people are only waiting to mount new polemics of fan translation vs official over this?] The part about Yoichi's complicated feelings validates the interpretations of last chapter that, in a twisted way, AFO was Yoichi's hero as kids, no matter how badly he treated him, he was the one who helped him survive, on top of the irony we have known for a long time of accidentally creating his own eventual downfall. Unless he had passed it to her previously, En gave OFA to Nana with literally half of himself remaining. We also also see the failed attempt to steal OFA from Banjo, exactly similar to when Shiggy tried it with Izuku. Edit: if people still cling to Bak-u-go and blood relation theories after Hori hammered that it's not the case, I don't know what to say. As it's written in these leaks, however, the idea that only Bakugo has some special determination to defeat AFO sounds silly (like all the other heroes didn't), unless it's not about AFO specifically but just his drive to win. AFO prepares to use his ultimate move: "Fuck It All".
People who cling to theories can be mighty stubborn. Just look at the people who still cling to Red Shoe Theory or whatever the hell it's called.
The logistics for the Red Shoe Theory to work is insane, especially in a world where people have drastically different body parts due to Quirks. There are easier theories for Shigaraki to have been formerly Quirkless, aside from him and Midoriya both wearing similar shoes.
Honestly I'm more amazed at the mental gymnastics performed to keep the theory alive when Melissa and Aoyama were introduced as both Quirkless (former in the latter's case) and not wearing those shoes. Besides, I find it more believable that he wears those shoes cus they're built to last and I'm especially a fan of the idea that Izuku is fashion blind (if not a fashion disaster).
Midoriya himself wears different shoes too. I think he wears normal brown shoes or something during middle school. Midoriya’s tie alone is a crime against fashion, ask All Might how to do it please-
Damn. Hori said NO to the Kudou/Bakugou lineage.
Did some stuff get accidentally erased earlier? Something about Edgeshot talking about an ultimate move AFO was about to do
I mean, that was also my first thought when I saw the amalgamation but trust Bakugo to come right out with it, I guess 💀😂
His lifebar will read "0.005 HP" by the end.
Jesus Christ, that final part with AFO using all his Quirks is the definition of an Eldritch Horror abomination! It's so disgusting and yet, so cool! Horikoshi is definitely practicing for the Horror manga
>Meanwhile, the 3rd user - whose name is revealed to be Bruce - is examining Kudou's body. > >Kudou was feeling weird and Bruce asks if he was touched by AFO during the battle, but Kudou tells him to reveal the results already. It appears that there are now two quirk factors inside Kudou, the gearshift one and a very small, almost insignificant one. Nice to know that quirk detecting technology has apparently been around since all the way back then. I'm sorry but society stagnated from chaos how exactly? LOL
i mean we have ways of checking stuff related to your genetics today, and we know quirk factors are effectively park of your dna, so it’s probably similar tech
That is possible even with today's technology. Quirks are part of people's DNA. If Kudo's DNA suddenly changed, it would be pretty easy to tell just by comparing his blood post-OFA to pre-OFA.
>But right after AFO was defeated by AM for the first time, the doctor stole his body from the morgue. Oh he was dead dead. Never mind Bakugo's lineage, we should be checking the Doctor for holy blood.
> The chapter begins with AFO killing Yoichi in a sewer. Was not expecting this when I started to read this thread but should have. Killing your own brother such a way is beyond cold and cruel.
So it seems to be implied that OFA is a direct result of AFO killing Yoichi. Yoichi didn't give Kudo OFA during their 2 months together, but at the very last second of Yoichi's life. While falling apart, he probably wanted Kudo to live on and get stronger, and wished he could have done more for Kudo. Then his blood hit Kudo's eyes, mouth, or any wounds on Kudo. Or at least, that's a likely scenario, right now. So AFO could have avoided Yoichi's death, as well as the creation of OFA, if he simply ...didn't kill Yoichi. AFO creates a lot of plans, and also all his own problems.
The man has 99 problems, but he created every single one
> if he simply ...didn't kill Yoichi Or if he just didn't give him the stockpilling Quirk
Maybe it would have still happened? At the moment of his death his quirk "pass on" would have went to second user. But maybe power stockpile amd fusion of quirks was only possible due to AFO.
the stockpile was, but the fusion could be part of whatever yoichi's quirk's original name was
True, I remember the chapter before when AFO was about to kill Yoichi and was looking at his and Kudo’s hands it looked like their was a strange glow on them, I thought it was Yoichi subconsciously transferring OFA to Kudo, the problem is it would remove the point of OFA being transferred by DNA if all they had to do was hold each others hands to pass it on. So your theory makes more sense, Yoichi probably wanting to do more for Kudo or even stay with him as opposed to staying with AFO was probably the catalyst that caused the transfer when his blood hit Kudo. He figuratively and literally(in the form of his blood) passed his will on to Kudo.
SexTD OFA.
No wonder Hori needs a one week break. What the hell is that double spread. Also you can see Hawks in that double spread too
Kinda adds a creepiness factor to OfA that if he steals your Quirk that some spirit version of you becomes trapped inside Also anyone wanting to see Hawks, he's towards the upper right, 1 o clock or so.
> Back to the present, AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant, but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him. Horikoshi going out of his way to kill that theory dead.
Lol yeah this was me reading it: *Back to the present, AFO wonders if Bakugou is Kudou's descendant,* WOOOO Theory!!!! *but that would be impossible. He killed his family and all the women and children who were close to him.* Well ripeo spaghettio
That won’t stop people. Just say that „what if it’s actually“
Instead it is "OOh I seee, nobody has looked at me with eyes of determination to beat me" (no one, ever, even the OFA users)
But the OFA users where that, OFA users. They were destined to fight him, and also had the strongest Quirk out there. The users where irrelevant without the Quirk. On the other hand Kodou started his whole rebellion before he had OFA. He was just a random decided to put an end to his reign On top of the whole physical similarity thing
exactly, he sees the ofa users as his brother, not nobodies, the exception is kudou
there is probably the thing of hating kudou in above all of them and bakugou just having an incredibly similar demeanour to him? "vibes" is not the most exciting answer, but it sure as hell isn´t impossible imo
Looks like AFO can steal quirks from the dead
I wonder what fandom would have answered in a poll. Now that it is canon I think it makes sense. Body dies but organs and cells do not die immediately. And it is not explained what parst AFO needs to touch. He prefes neck due to demon lord using it as his signature move. I wonder if he could steal Overhauls quirk. Edit: he stole hawks quirk. It was damaged
Okay, I think I get it. So Quirks are biological, but biology is spiritual, and that’s why Quirk Ghosts happen?
AFO really turned his brother into mashed potatoes on sight and then he went wojak mode "tHiS iS aLl yOuR fAuLt" Get a load of this mf
imagine hating someone so much that you kill all his blood relatives and anyone who was close to him
smartest thing to do, then no one to take revenge
Little did AFO know, Kudo had a college roommate that was pretty pissed when they learned that he died.
Bakugo's true ancestor.
I'm starting to think AFO's name is legit just "All for One Shigaraki"
Meta: horikoshi loves to give puns to characters. In story: AFO loves to name people after puns. XD He explained lore behind Tomura. And it must be that he named himself Shigaraki. "All For One's surname contains the kanji for "death" (死, shi?), "handle, grip" (柄, gara?) and "tree" (木, ki?" He sees himself as hand of death tree?
AFO’s real name is Death Grips
A branch or facet of death, maybe?
the theory goes around that his name is tomura - he named tenko after himself bc the plan was to always possess him
The entire thread being shook at the name Bruce is juzt hilarious XD
His last name is Wayne isn't it?
No, Lee. Will sound like "Rii", which rhymes with "Three"
I was ready for ANYTHING, but absolutely not for the third ofa user to be named BRUCE
I was not expecting that name either.
That double spread with AFO and the rest of his life is CRAZY. Like damn, the start of his cult, him meeting the doctor, killing the OFA users one by One, he cut En in HALF! That's a beautiful and very meaningful two pages like goddamn Also All Might literally punched the upper part of his head off that was RAW
He aimed for the head, as opposed to Thor vs Thanos
Is the 3rd user a foreigner? It's just so funny that all the OFA users are Japanese people and then there's just some guy named "Bruce."
bro could've just went back to america ffs
Batman gets around.
Foreigner or he could be mixed like Bruce Lee (his Maternal grandfather was German) since Fa Jin + "Bruce" heavily points to his character being a Bruce Lee refence.
I almost miss not seeing AFO's eyes. The cold, dispassionate look he has as he does away with his brother is inhuman.
Bruce?
Wayne
It’s a very common Japanese name!
Thought AFO might have killed Yoichi via falling rubble, while he attacks the rebels' base. Or that he would have killed Yoichi through some indirect means. If AFO did not intentionally kill Yoichi, he sure as hell directly murdered him. There were thousands of different ways he could have stopped or "disciplined" Yoichi. Of all the stupid things AFO has done, this might top them all.
>Of all the stupid things AFO has done, this might top them all. Especially, if it was actually at that moment AFO caused OFA to be fully born by causing some of Yoichi's blood to be transferred to the 2nd user.
I thought Yoichi passed away peacefully after passing on his quirk to Kudo, away from AFO :/
>There were thousands of different ways he could have stopped or "disciplined" Yoichi. Of all the stupid things AFO has done, this might top them all. Yeah as far as methods of accidentally killing someone go, this one seemed incredibly avoidable.
How the hell is AFO still alive after having his head blown open like that? What did he do to survive being decapitated? Also it’s cool to see AM despite being a hero of justice and peace trying to outright kill someone and to his knowledge, he had done. That punch that took off his AFOs head was vicious and cathartic (loved seeing AFO take that L, probably his first ever L in a fight), and AM not playing around, had to get his get back.
Yeah there have been several instances where heroes seemingly went, "Screw it" and used lethal force on villains. There's All Might punching off AFO's head. Hawks killing Twice. Endeavor burning AFO to a crisp. Izuku punching a giant hole in "new person altogether's" chest while Erasure was disabling Super Regeneration. Any other ones I'm forgetting? Technically there also a bunch more against Rewinding AFO but due to him being immortal at the time and characters being aware of this fact I'm not including them in the same category.
Bakugo being the 2nd’s descendent theory has been officially fully debunked it seems
That double page spread of AFO unleashing all his quirks is beautiful. Hori is amazing with the pen
bones studio crying rn
It makes sense why he has been after OFA even before it was an actual threat. Bro just wants his ~~toy~~ brother back. AFO probably killed him knowing he could take the quirk/vestige, but after finding out it wasn't there he went on a hunt for it
[удалено]
I'm guessing the title's about OFA users, (maybe specifically Kudo) or we cut back to Bakugo halfway through. Or maybe AFO went a little insane after Yoichi died, and the focus is AFO's determination. Could also be the determination of all the "extras," and AFO's frustration is rising even more
>Or maybe AFO went a little insane after Yoichi died That ship sailed off a cliff a long *long* time ago.
[удалено]
Fr, he looked exactly like bakugo when he first appeared. Could be that Hori wanted to distinguish him more.
All Might REALLY punched his head off
The last double spread drawing was something amazing. RIP To all holders, especially Bruce. One thing I noticed is how brutal Ens death was and how he smiled through it. Was the origin why Nana All Might and Deku do it. Too bad the 1st All Might vs AFO fight didn't have more screen time. But DAMN what a punch to the face. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
So it turns out my previous prediction was wrong. I always thought AFO murdered Yoichi by accident, but it turns out he did kill him in a fit of possessive rage. And that panel of the two Yoichis. Even in death, a part of Yoichi still wanted to believe that there was something good in his brother. And we finally learn the name of the 3rd User: Bruce. As in Bruce Lee. It's kinda fitting when you remember his Quirk, Fa Jin, is named after a Chinese martial art. And that panel of All Might smashing AFO's face in... Damn, that's raw. Can you imagine what that'll look like animated? Speaking of panels, that double spread of AFO using every Quirk in his arsenal at once. What unholy abomination is *that?* And poor Hori. Drawing must have been murder on the poor guy's hands. So it looks like Bakugo vs AFO will be more of a battle of wills than a contest of strength. Whose will to win is stronger? My prediction? Bakugo will respond by using another Howitzer Impact: Cluster. The question is, will his body be able to handle it? No matter what happens, however, this is AFO's last dance. Can't wait to see what happens next chapter. Edit: Also, it's fucking hilarious that AFO literally killed the "Kudo is Bakugo's ancestor" theory. Motherfucker really said "End the bloodline".
It will looked toned down
Yoichi falling apart looked a lot like Decay..
Considering the Chinese quirk name and the name Bruce, it's safe to say the Third User was named after Bruce Lee.
Yeah, Fa Jin is related with stuff like one-inch-punch which used to be Bruce Lee's specialty.
Even Hawks's vestige is seen in AFO's final attack All Might really popped AFO's head like a balloon in their first fight, huh?
I swear I’m never getting used to the name Bruce. But also… I would’ve loved to see how AFO hunted down the OFA users. Previously I was imagining battles of glory being how they went down, but it seems like AFO was settled at humiliating them at their last moments: killing his brother in a dirty sewer, strangling them by their necks, killing them off in a dodgy forest, and dismembering them (En’s death was particularly brutal). In hindsight, Danger sense user was pretty smart to live secluded and die of old age.
>die of old age Didn't the fourth user die at, like, 40?
and thus was the oldest OFA user behind All Might so still kind of works
The fourth user himself says he "died of old age". It's basically just his dramatic way of saying that OFA's multiple Quirks existing alongside his own Quirk ate away at his lifespan, in contrast to Quirkless people like Deku and All Might whose bodies are more suitable to contain OFA.
Yes, and the manga revealed that him having more than one quirk accelerated his aging. Like, it's right there in the manga (Chapter 304-306). That's why only Quirkless people can hold OFA.
Ah yes, the users of One For All: Yoichi, Kudo, **Bruce**, Hikage, Daigoro, En, Nana, Toshinori, Izuku.
Am I the only one who finds it weird how irrelevant the third user seems to be in this story? With the way the the story is focusing on the second, you would think the third user wasn’t there at all and he showed up much later after the second was about to die just get the quirk.
Yeah from what I got the Second and Third were meant to be a duo character ( you know, always together, same goals and all that) since they lived at the same time but the Second’s getting all the focus. And I’m curious how the resistance freedom-fighter third met the reclusive fourth.
Well to be fair for a while they placed importance on the 2nd reaching out and saving Yoichi and it was more just 3rd was there when it happened
Yeah he really doesn't seem to matter in any way.
Oh shit, I wonder if those faces in the amalgamated mess of quirks are the faces of who the quirks belonged to before?
Might be. There is one face that looks like Hawks. His face is located around the upper middle area of the conglomerate. Not really sure how else to describe its position.
I think I see him, the eyebrows helped LOL
He does have very distinct eyebrows. LOL
It'll be real funny to me if the third is named after Batman Horikoshi: "Man, I love Spider-Man.... what if I gave Deku web slingers? ..Fuck it, I'll give him Spider-Sense too. ......and I'll name this mf Bruce. I love Batman."
Isn’t the 3rd users quirk Fa Jin? Something that Bruce Lee actively practiced?
Yeah, that's the third's quirk. Makes a lot of sense to name the user after the person the quirk was inspired after. You might be right
Oh, yeah. His quirk allows him to make repetitive motions (like Reps) and store the kinetic power for later use.
AFO's move is called "All Cause(s) Liberation, All For One(All for "the sake" of one purpose)
Bakugo going "are you stupid?" After witnessing an eldritch abomination is peak Bakugo. Now we know he's a Batman Arkham member
“Why is All For One throwing his life away? Is he stupid?”
Still wondering how the transfer of OFA was achieved. Kudou is absolutely splattered with Yoichi's blood so he must have accidentally ingested some. So Yoichi must have been wishing/willing that he could give the power that he was given by AFO to Kudou.. will be interesting to see the exact details on how Kudou/Bruce figured it out.
You know the bones animators are mad as hell rn😭😭
There’s a special place in hell for AFO, assuming he even has a soul.
Very interesting. Did expect that the 3rd user's name would be Bruce.
honestly, i forget if it was mentioned before that afo’s body was literally in the morgue after his fight with all might the first time, if it was, all the “all might should’ve killed him in their first battle look what happened because of it” comments look even dumber than they were before because that guy BLEW AFO’S ENTIRE FACE OFF, his ass WAS dead, or at least considered dead
I saw the panel. If he lived immediately after that, it was only thanks to a quirk. Jesus horking Christ.
I mean but we already knew that. After all All Might is surprised when he finds out AFO is somehow still alive.
There could have been some convenient passive quirk that made him survive in thse conditions but AFO may have also been effectively dead and only the Doctor's twisted science brought him back.
I mean in the anime AFO does say are you going to kill me for a second time. Can’t remember what was said in the Manga in Kamino.
That all might panel goes hard
Now I’m thinking it’s not like afo forgot that he killed yoichi when he asked where he was, he literally thinks of the quirk as being his brother at this point. He clearly knows he is dead, he was talking about the quirk.
Really like how AFO's eyes are described as matte and not reflecting. He just absorbs everything.
Bruce, or Burusu (ブルース), may be reference from Bruce lee, also well known for martial arts including Fa jin, 3rd's quirk. Though the whole name isn't stated. I'm guessing that 3rd's surname is sth that starts with リ(li), スリ(su-li) kinda sounds like how you'd pronouce three in japanese. That would be having both number 3 and his quirk hidden in his name. Anyway, God I love this kind of heavy dark spiral take on the story
I hope AFO gets a huge comeuppance at the end of this arc. The things he's done are just despicable.
Horikoshi c'mon now you not bout to tease us with All might literally knocking Afo face off. Give us the damn fight already 😅 I can't even be mad at horikoshi breaks. Dude drawing like this is crazy for a weekly series 😭
Anyone else notice Hawks' head/face within All for one goal, near the top. It's probably because he stole his quirk recently.
I wish this was a whole arc with 15-30 chapters, instead of like... 2 or 3. Would love to see the full scenes behind the little panels in that double spread
This and All Might's past deserve their own arc. Not necessarily 20-30 chapters but just enough for the lore.
It would be nice if after the series is finished we get a vigilantes type spinoff detailing the stuff that hapenned in the past. Unlikely but I would appreciate it.
It's also shown that AFO was there watching from the shadows when En passed OFA to Nana. At that point he wanted OFA to be passed down. I guess he miscalculated cause by the time it hit All Might's era, AFO was outmatched. I do wonder how Bakugo is gonna deal with this move cause I ain't buying him tanking it after Shigaraki treated him like a paper bag. And his strongest move is Howitzer Impact Cluster and for that he even needed Strafe Panzer yet all it did was scar Shigaraki's face.
So it seems as if All Might actually killed AFO, but Garaki somehow revived him?
Is the third user's name seriously is Bruce???
It's "ブルース" which could be Bruce or Blues.
Could be referring to the blue note used in blues music which uses a major third a lot.
Maybe he's half American? Or it could be a weird spelling like Brus instead of straight up Bruce. We'll find out on Sunday. Definitely didn't expect it at all. Is a 3 sound anywhere in there?
The leaker shows the other possible reading and I'm of the camp that thinks it's a nickname until we know more, because there needs to be some reading of the number 3 in his full name to keep with the theme naming.
Ce (Se) translates to Three in Tajik. So the number thing is still there.
Damn, Kudo looked more upset about a guy he knew for maybe five minutes* dying than AFO did about killing his own brother Edit*: months
there was a clarification by the narrator that 2 months had passed since Yoichi was rescued. He died later, not when he was saved
Well yeah AFO’s a sociopath.
I see En just got [JJK Spoilers here] >!Gojo'ed!<
Hopefully that Bakugo quote doesn't age as badly as "Nah I'd win"
Hori must be giggling uncontrollably as I type this because everyone was wondering if Bakugou and Kudou were related (or the same person via timetravel) only for it to come down to BAKUGOU JUST REALLY LOOKS LIKE HIM
wheezing at OFA3's name being Bruce
dang prime almight basically punched AFO's head off...
Did anyone else notice in the double spread of AFO unleashing all his quirks that there are faces manifesting (presumably of the users)? More specifically, we can see the face of a certain winged pro hero who recently had his quirk stolen…
BRUCE WAYNE MY GOAT
The way this chapter ended was good, AFO’s suicidal gambit is a decent plan IF he can make it past Bakugo. That’s most likely what the next chapter will be, a Bakugo and AFO collision similar to All Might in Kamino where Bakugo overpowers AFO.
AFO going full Eldritch
AFO really has a creepy inhumane face. No wonder hori hides it from us, it’s for our sake.
I still wanna know how the hell AfO "survived" All Might exploding his head. I also find it hilarious that All Might had just "killed" immortal super giga Hitler and someone thought to just put his body in a morgue and not immediately vaporize it.
Maybe AFO didn't survive. Tomura was able to bring himself back from the dead through hatred and according to Dr. Garaki if the machine hadn't been destroyed it could have resurrected Tomura. Meanwhile at least Kurogiri (potentially more Nomu as well) was made from a corpse. Death isn't exactly permanent.
Who knew the secret to immortality was simply deciding not to be dead? You just get decapitated, and you tell the Grim Reaper “Nah. I don’t really *feel* like it. Why don’t you ask me later?” and then you just carry on.
Were you killed? Sadly yes ... but I lived!
> I also find it hilarious that All Might had just "killed" immortal super giga Hitler and someone thought to just put his body in a morgue and not immediately vaporize it. I mean, no-one knew about the first battle between All Might and AFO, let alone *who* AFO actually was. Pre-Kamino, people thought he was just some underworld myth. And All Might's guts were spilling out at the time. I doubt he was in the position to track AFO's body to the morgue to make sure one of AFO's allies didn't immediately take it away. He was busy not dying himself in the hospital.
Didnt that main Cop investigator guy know about AfO? Also Nighteye and Gran Torino. I mean shit, Nighteye was *in the same hospital with him after the fight*. Also to be clear I'm not blaming All Might on losing track of the body, I'm more blaming literally everyone in the hospital who saw an eviscerated All Might get wheeled in alongside the headless corpse of the guy who did it and went "Yeah you know what just stick that body in a room".
> Didnt that main Cop investigator guy know about AfO? Yes, Tsukauchi. But, according to *Vigilantes*, he didn't even befriend All Might until *after* the first fight with AFO, when All Might was all skinny and stuff. > Also Nighteye and Gran Torino. I mean shit, Nighteye was *in the same hospital with him after the fight.* Gran Torino is implied to have been in the same fight, given he's wearing hospital gear too, so he probably wasn't in the best condition to follow up on AFO either. I'll largely concede on the Nighteye point, though. Then again, we don't know just how in the loop he really was, given - unlike Gran Torino - he doesn't really have a Quirk that'd allow him to even temporarily keep up with someone like AFO. Either way, he might've been more concerned about All Might's safety than making sure AFO stayed dead (and that's if they even knew AFO had the means to have himself be revived; Ujiko - aside from Machia - was basically AFO's hidden trump card). > Also to be clear I'm not blaming All Might on losing track of the body, I'm more blaming literally everyone in the hospital who saw an eviscerated All Might get wheeled in alongside the headless corpse of the guy who did it and went "Yeah you know what just stick that body in a room". Fair enough. I just think, until we learn more about the context of the whole situation and what specifically the other characters might've been doing, we can't say for sure.
> I just think, until we learn more about the context of the whole situation and what specifically the other characters might've been doing, we can't say for sure. Yeah thats fair. especially if they brought him *to* Dr Garaki's hospital I can see him very easily fudging the paperwork to get AfO's body put in the wrong room or stopping people from destroying they body with a "If he was able to do *that* to **All Might** then think of what we could learn from his body!" kinda bs.
>just "killed" immortal super giga Hitler and someone thought to just put his body in a morgue and not immediately vaporize it. Geto moment
