| Bakugo's abduction by the League of Villains was a carefully calculated move designed to draw out the heroes — All Might in particular — and destroy them. All Might reaches Bakugo's location, but holds back out of concern for the youth's safety. Deku comes up with a plan utilizing Kirishima so they can escape with Bakugo without getting dragged into the fight. All For One attempts to break All Might's spirit by revealing that his apprentice Shigaraki is the grandson of All Might's mentor and predecessor Nana Shimura. However, All Might manages to defeat All For One as he teleports the League of Villains away, sacrificing the last embers of his Quirk while sending a message which Deku understands is for him as All Might's successor to become the next Symbol of Peace. Following All Might's official retirement and U.A. having its students live on campus for their safety, All For One is placed in the maximum-security prison known as "Tartarus", where he muses on the idea of Shigaraki eventually surpassing him. | ||||
