It's a hazy memory.
It's so hard to get reservations there.
Hey, that lady's...
Excuse me, are you all right?
Shut up.
Get lost.
QUIRK: EXPLOSION!!
Beginning with a glowing baby,
reports come in from all over the world of "meta powers."
Some meta powers are congenital,
but some manifest around the time of puberty.
This led a research group investigating it as an unknown disease to announce that
meta powers were a new form of DNA that genetically branched off from human DNA.
It was all too callous and hasty.
Those with meta powers, and those without.
This announcement that completely divided our society
accelerated the chaos that would follow.
I heard the metas are starting to gather in the industrial zone.
They must be the ones our protest group ran into last night.
Let's get 'em before they come after us!
META
What's that?
Oh, it's just a paranormal orphan.
I feel bad, but ignore him.
Let's go.
There's a good chance orphans are carriers.
What's that sound?
It was a meta power he stole from his mother.
That baby was arrogant from birth.
Everything around him belonged to him,
and anyone who wouldn't look his way or give him anything despite his bawling
triggered his suspicion.
H-Help—
Don't.
Don't hurt them.
As the older brother had stolen nearly all the nourishment from their mother,
the younger brother was very small and frail.
The younger didn't have anything to give to the older,
but as he belonged to him,
the older never considered parting with the younger.
As confrontation intensifies between the normals and the metahumans,
the "glowing baby" is personally standing at the forefront urging for peace and security.
Advocates of this view are increasing daily, with no end to the turmoil in sight.
What're you reading without telling me?
I'm still learning to read, so I can't handle hard books.
But these books they call comics, they're great.
I can read this from the pictures.
The hopes of the one who drew it come through in the art.
A hero.
I want to be like that someday too.
Want to read some too, Brother?
The younger couldn't fully give up on his brother.
He wanted to believe that hand he vaguely recalled was his brother's kindness.
THREE YEARS LATER
Word is, they managed to get over ten million sympathizers.
Brother?
Strange, huh?
I mean, they were just the first one to be registered, that's all.
They say in India, of all places,
fifty metahumans were born in the two weeks prior.
Brother.
Why do you look like that?
It's strange, that that could let someone gather people together.
And so I killed them and stole this.
Why?!
Wasn't it written in those comics?
"One for all. All for one."
Those are nice words.
The hero fights alone, hiding his true identity,
but everyone submits to the evil demon lord out of fear.
The same way that you do.
A world where everyone exists just for me.
I've found a dream of my own.
Brother...
Why do you resist?
Come with me, my foolish, darling brother.
Right now, the world's in the midst of chaos.
Meta powers shouldn't be used selfishly.
All you think about is satisfying yourself!
So sad. It's because you were born without a meta power.
No one will take you seriously when you're powerless!
My dream became a reality.
Reality doesn't play out by the book.
Now I will remake this reality where you don't give in to me.
You're important.
Stop!
I found a meta power that even your scrawny self could easily use.
I'm about to give it to you.
Stop!
I also decided on a name.
"Yoichi."
You were the first thing ever given to me, so that's what I've named you.
Now. Come with me, Yoichi.
Stop!
Stop it!
Wait, why are you running away?
I gave you a power, didn't I?
Who do you think you are?
Get away from him!
You're mine!
Keep looking at me!
If you won't be mine...
then so be it!
He made eye contact with the young man who took his brother,
but, as if covered by a thin film, his eyeballs had no natural luster.
So in his eyes, there was no reflection of the young man.
What I took from someone, what I took so I could make Yoichi my subordinate,
was the power I forced upon him, despite his repeated rejections.
The meta power I thought I gave him had disappeared.
Such a thing has never happened before.
I've used my powers to confirm that Yoichi has no meta ability.
I once suspected I had taken his before I was even self-aware,
but further inspection indicated he did have a tiny non-functional piece of trash,
that my own meta power couldn't even recognize as a factor.
It was something like a factor that never fully formed, due to malnutrition.
Don't tell me it's been activated?
Leader, All For One didn't touch you when we lost that battle, did he?
Knock it off, Bruce.
Just tell me the results.
"My whole body's felt odd since that day."
It's a good thing you noticed.
There are two factors in your body.
The one you've always had, and a small one that seems malformed.
I had a feeling that might be the case.
The meta power I gave him was gone because his own
seized it and absorbed it to make up for what it lacked.
I wasn't able to stop my brother.
You kept me alive, Brother.
He only sees other people like they're toys or games.
Maybe if you could be just a little considerate of others...
Yoichi's will is inside me.
It still exists.
If you could be just a little considerate of others,
giving and taking...
It might have been the kindest power in the world.
If there were tears in my eyes, it's because I was upset.
I've manipulated the things I hate and the things I desire,
looked down upon them, and made them my own.
And yet you...
don't turn out the way I want.
I just want you, that's all.
I chase you and chase you!
And you still slip from my grasp.
Yes, that's right.
It's your fault, Kudo!
Kudo! I wiped out his bloodline.
And that's not all.
Even women and children who were just close to him.
Anyone I suspected!
If he were of his blood, I should have sensed something that time!
His eyes.
He didn't yet have that look in his eyes, that time!
He just happens to resemble him.
But I'm sure I sensed a will like his just now.
He's getting in my way from across time and space!
Even if I use Warping to tear myself away,
the only points I can send myself to are next to All Might who's just right there,
or Tomura's location.
I can't afford to keep fighting and shrinking my body.
Even if I reach Tomura, he's already rejecting me.
A fight with him is inevitable.
I need to keep some power in reserve to complete the transfer.
Or so I thought, but enough.
Killing you, my goal, the transfer...
It's all one and the same!
Here he comes!
Omni-Factor Unleash...
All For One Goal!
All for one single purpose,
I'll force my way through!
He's going to propel himself with that vast power?
He means to win in one fell swoop!
It'll turn him back into a baby!
He's gambling everything on this!
"You idiot. There's no way you can win like that."
I'll also make everything my own to go higher.
With my Explosion, I've been able to do everything I wanted.
Izuku.
I won't get in your way anymore.
Dodge it, kid!
Please.
Blow up.
Blow up!
What?!
I know I didn't see him do anything just now!
The rain's takin' away some of my bang.
I coated 'em and sent 'em flying.
Explosive sweat drops coated with normal sweat, that is.
I sent 'em out unexploded, mixed 'em together after a delay.
Figured some other impact could set it off!
That one time?!
Into my mouth? At that last moment?!
They've always said I can think on my feet!
One Quirk is all you need!
Taking damage makes him age in reverse.
Get my drift?
That damage disrupted my powers.
I'll release them again!
This...
is my story!
Move aside, background character!
Howitzer!
Impact!
Shut the hell up!
Something's wrong! My factors aren't merging well!
How could these measly explosions be messing me up?
It's not possible!
Is it because my body's grown younger and more frail?!
You're at the mercy of negative emotions, and it's weakened your control.
So, this place is turning into one of my fan meetups.
See?
You got consumed by Shigaraki.
This is...
This is my story!
No, it's not.
No, it wasn't.
I wasn't alone.
This body...
The ones who kept me alive...
Our dreams...
This...
is our story!
The damage and annoyance everyone inflicted bit by bit...
At last!
This time you're finished, All For One!
There's no way I could beat you by myself.
I just have to get a little farther,
and transfer my Quirk to Tomura.
I'll strengthen the me over there that was swallowed up,
and once again take control of that utterly evil mind and body!
From what I observed of Tomura,
the me over there must have been defeated before he could play that trump card.
I still have a chance to win.
If I can just get control of Tomura, I can steal One For All!
Yoichi, I have to have you with me.
The bad parts of life are what stick with you, aren't they?
That's why I obstruct people's futures.
Yoichi, I...
want everyone to always look at me!
A little farther!
You...
You're still not gone?
Feel cold...
Strength's all used up...
Can't stay on my feet.
Move it!
He can't even talk now.
He's a newborn. It's fine.
I can just ignore him, and he'll vanish.
Not falling must mean you're damn strong.
That was close.
You don't win until you've won.
Stay away!
Time to go beddy-bye, All For One!
No!
I was being ruled by emotion!
That's not how I am!
No! No! No! No! No! No!
Hate you! Hate you! Hate you! Hate you!
The stolen factors are going back to their owners.
Or not, but that would've been nice.
Ah, dammit.
I wanted to stay on my feet like All Might.
You got this, Izuku.
Preview
Here's the preview.
All For One has disappeared.
But in the midst of fierce fighting with Shigaraki, something horrible happens.
One For All...
Or rather, one of the Quirks belonging to a former wielder—is stolen by Shigaraki.
Next time, "History’s Greatest Villain."
Fight for your life, Izuku Midoriya!
Go beyond!
Next time: History’s Greatest Villain.
