Danger Sense got stolen? You should’ve seen that coming, Deku.

Shinomori sure didn’t! The Fourth One For All User, along with his Danger Sense quirk, are now apart of Shigaraki. And, it looks like with that comes the added benefit of limited access to the ghostly OFA users’ Psychic Space. Basically, Shigaraki and Deku are even more connected than before with them each holding one of the Shigaraki Twins quirks.

My wish didn’t come true. But, I got the next best thing!

Yes, my friends, All F. One is finally dead! Yahoo! Yipee! Who wants a slice of my AFO’s Dead Celebration Cake? Its got buttercream icing. Yum!

Jeez Louise! That battle lasted a long time! Sure, it had some good moments with All Mech throwing everything but the kitchen sink at AFO. But, still, learn how to get in, show the good stuff, then get out, Horikoshi. I know. I know. It’s not so much a Horikoshi problem as it is a shonen problem. So what? It’s my AFO Funeral Party and I’ll whine if I want to.

Who knew balls of sweat could be so powerful?

And who knew Bakugo could encase his explosive sweat inside regular sweat to use as time bombs? Also, regular sweat? He can do that?! My Bull Crap Detector’s beeping, but there’s no other way for anyone to win against AFO. AFO is so overpowered, it’s gonna take a lot of B.S. to put the wanna-be Demon Lord down for good. And, hey, I’m getting tired of AFO, so let’s all agree to look the other way and move on.

All For One only wants to rule the world. Is that so wrong?

Yes, it is. But, in any case, it’s great we finally got to see AFO’s origin. And, surprise surprise, he was always evil. Actually, I’d rather we gotten more focus on the OFA Users. AFO’s a one-note villain, but all the OFA Users seem interesting. Was Yoichi enjoying his life away from AFO? How did Kudo and Bruce meet? What the heck is Nana Shimura’s hero name?There’s lots of unanswered question that I think Horikoshi isn’t gonna answer this late in the series. Frankly, I would’ve loved an entire arc focused on AFO and the OFA Users.

All For One killed MHA’s Charles Xavier!

I’m talking about the then grown up Glowing Baby. That person was trying to unite humans and “mutants” under the banner of peace. And, from what little we learned, it was working. They were gaining more and more exposure and followers. Basically, AFO set the meta human/human peace movement back years, maybe even decades. All because AFO was jealous. Damn.

Are we to assume the Shigaraki Twins never had someone take care of them? That AFO came out the box, so to speak, with enough competence or instinct to survive from day one? Yeah, that’s a bit too much to swallow.

One For All flashback incoming?

Now’s the perfect time for Horikoshi to give us the full story on One For All’s creation, along with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd user’s history. I’m not exactly a fan of flashbacks in-between fights but I’m curious about OFA’s origin and the “dark times” when AFO ruled unopposed, so I’ll allow it.
