Shigaraki had been a big threat for a long time. He has been serving as the main antagonist of the series for quite a while. Now with All for One’s quirk, he is about to step his malevolence up to a new level.

II. Gigantomachia Awakens

Gigantomachia is one of the strongest creatures we have encountered in the story so far. He is far stronger than any Nomu ever seen in the story and seems to have an impenetrable defence.

Chapter 278 ended with Gigantomachia fighting against Mt. Lady to go to Shigaraki’s location. He will soon arrive on the scene for backup and the mayhem will spiral out of control.

III. All for One vs One for All

Chapter 274 ended with Deku trying to lead Shigaraki away from a crowded location. Shigaraki is itching to get his hands on One for All and is going to relentlessly pursue Deku.

All for One

Deku has called Endeavor for backup and Bakugo is tagging along with Deku, so the first fight between the new generation of All for one and One for All is about to kick off.

Shigaraki is currently quirkless and fighting against the trio of Bakugo, Endeavor & Midoriya. Since Shigaraki will definitely not die in this fight, it’s likely that a full on All for One vs One for All fight is a long ways away.
