"See you later, then. I'm off to go help hungry people." Anpanman set off again right away. "You've got to do your best, Anpanman," shouted Uncle Jam in a loud voice, as he watched him fly away.

Anpanman

Such tender memories, to call them an origin.
As for what I've done,
I just suddenly turned and looked back down the path.
It just looked like such a precious thing.
And so...
Hercules...
I told you.
You aren't going beyond by using tools.
He's glowing?
What are you, a little brat?!
You forgot your smile, friend.
Not a good look, All Might.
Lost your smile, lost your hope...
Crawling on the ground...
You're twisted by despair and agony,
and I'm gonna make a mess outta you!
Just like you did to me before!
I can't move?!
Blood...
runs red for everyone.
Who are you?
Go get him, All Might!
Dozens of minutes earlier
Oh, it connected!
Are you two still okay?
All Might?!
There's no time, so I'll keep it short.
You two need to run to Gunga right now.
Right now, the only things that can do something about the crisis at Gunga
are Engine and Half-Cold Half-Hot.
You two are our only hope!
We're counting on you.
For the sake of others...
I surmised the situation from the conversation between the burned guy and Ingenium.
I retraced the steps of what must have been where All For One fought,
locating bloodstains that hadn't been washed away by the elements.
Did the blood belong to All For One, or to All Might?
I sniffed it out, all the more keenly with my amputated nose.
Not this one.
Not this one either.
This one...
All For One!
No matter how mighty a being you are,
once I lick your blood, Bloodcurdle will activate,
and you'll stop moving.
All Might.
Oh, All Might!
You would understand...
The significance of me daring to expose myself like this!
The soul of a hero exists only for the sake of others.
However...
If a god falls to the earth, and is given the frail soul of a mortal...
let even him be allowed to struggle to survive!
And then,
come and end me, Stain, who has killed 40 heroes.
I understand, Stain.
You must live.
I am here!
Forcible Quirk Activation: Bloodlet!
He expelled...
...all the blood in his body?!
Chizome Akaguro.
I had predicted you would try something.
That's why I prepared in advance.
You were the only one who rejected me and managed to escape from Tartarus.
Since that day—
Expelled or not, it's the same—
Are you stupid?
Antigen Swap.
I rewrote my blood.
Never leaving a trace is the secret to my lengthy reign.
Letting out that blood woke me up.
Stain!
I'm going to take your Bloodcurdle Quirk.
Come to think of it, you contributed much to the League's development.
And to Tomura's.
What meaning is there in killing without conviction?
That means your role is over, murderer!
It doesn't end.
Everything is a process, Demon Lord.
All For One!
I may not have received any higher education,
but you taught me all about what a hero should be.
Live...
and win...
my All—
Hercules?
I thought you were broken.
This is my final shield.
Live,
All Might.
Toshinori.
You can do it, Toshinori!
The tale's still being told.
Keep fighting, Toshinori!
Master.
This is a hallucination.
I'm borrowing my master's form in order to encourage myself.
Nighteye.
I can no longer use my support items or my legs.
I can't fight anymore.
But...
So don't give up your life.
Please live properly to protect him and raise him.
Please live until I can keep my promise!
Stay alive and watch me tell the world, "I am here!"
All Might!
Not yet.
I'm not dead yet.
Come and get me.
U.A. High School
Coffin in the Sky
The Twices...
They're fading away!
Weight is decreasing!
Now we can keep the Coffin in the Sky airborne!
All For One, approaching Tomura Shigaraki at high speed!
U.A. (Coffin in the Sky)
He's within effective Sludge Warp range!
All this time since coming down from U.A.,
Midoriya's managed to parry Shigaraki's attacks at such close range.
Somehow he's keeping the two of them at a stalemate!
But All For One has Sludge Warp.
Now that he's in range to use it, he can bring Shigaraki to himself!
The balance we've maintained... is about to collapse.
The moment I injected myself with Rewind, this place became my goal.
By transferring my reproduced Quirks to Tomura,
he'll become a me that surpasses me!
If I can just stick with him longer...
Come on, All For One!
I'm right here!
For the transfer to go smoothly, without Izuku Midoriya interfering...
Come, Tomura, the other me.
Master.
Don't interfere!
As I suspected, my consciousness has already been consumed by Tomura.
That's fine.
I'll simply go to him.
Hey, look.
What's up? Wait...
All Might, with that pathetic face of yours,
it's time to take responsibility for showing youngsters a futile dream.
You'd better go and save All Might, Izuku Midoriya!
Go and do it. It's great timing.
While you're busy, I'll go and destroy all those up there
who kept hurting me before!
I will twist fate and anything else into the shape I want with these arms!
I...
No matter what happens to you, I will twist fate with you!
He thought he'd gotten his tears under control,
and now he once again fights to hold them back.
We'll have to fix those leaky eyes of yours.
Because he wants to be a good apprentice.
Inside his mind...
the image of One For All was already starting to bid him farewell.
A—
All Might!
Even if I don't have a Quirk, can I become a hero?
You can.
After all, you try so hard to do things.
You could never fully abandon your dream.
I can't fully abandon mine either.
My own dream.
To be a symbol...
of peace.
Take it from here, Sorahiko.
See that his dream comes true!
Master!
Nana Shimura's final moments?
Why do I remember that now?!
She always put ideals first, without the capability to fulfill them.
Hers was a truly disgraceful death.
All For One...
You're going to lose to All Might.
Definitely.
I mean,
Toshinori's crazier than you are.
Maybe dying one more time will at least turn you into a preschooler?!
He means to kill us both!
As for what I've done,
I just suddenly turned and looked back down the path.
It just looked like such a precious thing!
And so!
You thought you'd get to choose a heroic death?
You're finally out of options!
Bloodcurdle.
I've learned all too well how scary a wounded hero can be.
I'm not going to let you accomplish anything.
That's the look I was waiting for!
The moment you hate the most!
Gentle!
Okay! U.A. is stabilized!
I'll go and deal with it!
Don't stop recording!
U.A. pulled my shot off target.
But that's fine.
Your good nature will keep you stuck there, Danjuro Tobita.
Prepare for laser barrage!
But it'll hit All Might too!
He's Star's inspiration!
The X-66s that helped Star corner Tomura.
Fire!
Star's not here, is she?
Oh, crikey.
Huh?
Whoa, this looks hopeless.
All Might's going to die!
No, this can't be!
Is he gonna lose?
All Might...
Our hero...
I got rescued by All Might...
Uncle Might...
Toshinori...
Yeah, it's over.
Whatever form it takes,
his death will be a turning point for the era.
No!
Stop already!
Somebody...
Save him!
Here's the preview.
Stealing One For All.
Cracks begin to form in All For One's supposedly flawless plan.
The gears slip out of place.
All thanks to the hopes and dreams the heroes have been forming.
Next time, "The Final Boss."
Kacchan rises up to save All Might from mortal peril.
This is where our big comeback begins!
NEXT TIME: THE FINAL BOSS!!
Go beyond!
Plus Ultra!
