I. Is My Hero Academia on a Break?

‘My Hero Academia’ is on a break this week. Chapter 409 has been delayed and will be released on the above-stated date.

2. Chapter 409 Raw Scans

Chapter 409 of My Hero Academia will focus on Bakugo defeating All For One. The chapter begins with a flashback of little Bakugo with his parents.

The focus shifts back to the battle at hand. All for One attacks Bakugo, but the latter chooses to face him head-on. Bakugo’s attack pushes All for One to the ground. 

All for One is confused, while Bakugo takes pride in his Explosion attack. The explosion by Bakugo messes up with All For One’s attack. Bakugo moves on to attack All For One with Howitzer Impact. He goes on to attack his enemy with multiple explosion attacks. 

The attacks go on for some pages with two double-spread panels. All For One starts realizing that his quirk factor has stopped working now, and it is revealed that he has turned into a child in the vestige world, too. 

Hawks used this opportunity to his benefit. His quirk Vestige shows up and tells All For One that he has lost control over all the vestiges and quirks. 

The chapter ends with Bakugo causing a huge explosion, claiming that he would have never been able to defeat All For One alone. 

3. Chapter 409 Speculation

All For One has decided to gamble this battle on one final move. Since Rewind has reached its critical stages, All For One needs to transform immediately. All For One will turn into a baby if this final explosion of quirks fails.

• Final Form Release vs Bakugou

Bakugou is the main target standing between All For One and Shigaraki at the moment. This final attack aims to kill Bakugou in one shot and get to Tomura for All For One’s transformation. It’s improbable that Bakugou will be able to withstand the attack. As All Might said, Bakugou must dodge if he wants to live.

• The Quirks Betray All For One

With both Hawks and Stain’s vestiges in All For One, there is a possibility that the quirks will betray All For One. Bakugou also looks remarkably like Kudou, the leader of the resistance. This further strengthens the theory that All For One is betrayed by his quirks before Bakugou ends him.

4. Chapter 408 Recap

All For One had named his brother Yoichi since he was his first possession. Inside a sewer, All For One kills Yoichi, leaving only his hand behind. Kudou’s eyes are filled with color and emotion as he watches Yoichi die. In contrast, All For One’s eyes remain entirely white.

All For One is back in the building and notices that the quirk he gave Yoichi is gone. All For One realizes that Yoichi did have a secret weak quirk since birth. This ability was the power to transfer quirks to other people. Bruce tells Kudou he has found a second quirk in his body.

Kudou is not surprised, knowing that Yoichi’s will now lives within him.

All For One also comes to the same conclusion and knows he must kill Kudou. Yoichi had always said that the power to give and take could be the kindest ability in the world. All For One goes through many generations of One For All over decades until his defeat against All Might.

However, the doctor had stolen his body from the morgue. In the present, All For One blames everything on Kudou. All For One knows Bakugou can’t be Kudou’s relative since he exterminated all of Kudou’s family. Suddenly, All For One realizes that they both have the same sparkle in their eyes.

The glow in Bakugou’s eyes makes it look like he carries Kudou’s will. Rewind is taking control of All For One, making him younger by the minute. Although All For One planned on sparing some energy for the transfer, he has a new plan now. All For One plans to kill Shigaraki and do the transfer in a single move.

Transforming into a distorted mix of all quirks, All For One turns into a massive fusion of heads, tentacles, and various body types. All Might realizes this much energy usage will turn him into a baby, meaning this transformation is All For One’s final move. Bakugou is merely amused at All For One’s dumb idea.
