My Hero Academia's climactic battle has escalated significantly, as Izuku Midoriya takes on Tomura Shigaraki in a match that fans are eagerly anticipating.
The stakes are raised even higher when All For One's ultimate form is revealed, marking a pivotal moment in the series' final installment.
In an unexpected twist, Midoriya and Shigaraki's minds merge, giving Deku a rare opportunity to understand what truly motivates his enemies. However, this moment of clarity was short-lived.
All For One's final form
Midoriya's attempt to connect with Shigaraki on a deeper level appears to be initially successful, offering a glimmer of hope that Shigaraki can be swayed from his destructive path.
However, this breakthrough is quickly overshadowed by the revelation that All For One's consciousness still exists within Shigaraki, waiting for the opportunity.
Despite All For One's physical body being destroyed, his presence within Shigaraki remains in effect, waiting for an opportunity to gain control. That moment came when Shigaraki's defenses were reduced, allowing All For One to take full control of his body.

The story takes a darker turn in Chapter 419 of My Hero Academia, with All For One exploiting Shigaraki's weaknesses to cement his takeover.
All For One confessed to orchestrating Shigaraki's evolution into the villain he became, from giving him the ability Decay—after removing his original ability—to manipulating events to ensure Shigaraki's birth. This manipulation was the last straw for Shigaraki, allowing All For One to completely dominate him.
When All For One took control, Shigaraki's physical transformation was evident, although traces of his consciousness remained.
All For One symbolically silences these remnants, presenting a redesigned appearance for Shigaraki that subtly yet unmistakably represents All For One's supremacy. This change signals All For One's resurrection as the series' ultimate villain, setting the stage for an epic ending.
However, the challenge that lies in defeating him is great, hinting at the epic battles that await as My Hero Academia reaches its thrilling climax.
