*** And the best part? ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard It's AFO's own desire to be a real-life comic book villain that screwed him over.]]'' It was ''destined'' to bite him in the ass eventually, because someone so stereotypically [[CardCarryingVillain one-dimensional and cartoonishly evil ]] can ''never'' do the [[PragmaticVillainy practical thing]] and [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just finish the hero off once they have them at their mercy]] - they ''have'' to pick up the VillainBall, [[EvilGloating mock their hopeless situation]] and [[KickTheDog draw out their death just because they can]], giving TheCavalry the opportunity to swoop in and [[BigDamnHeroes save them at the last minute.]]

*** And the best part? ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard It's AFO's own desire to be a real-life comic book villain that screwed him over.]]'' It was ''destined'' to bite him in the ass eventually, because stereotypical [[CardCarryingVillain one-dimensional and cartoonishly evil "bad guys"]] can ''never'' do the [[PragmaticVillainy practical thing]] and [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just finish the hero off once they have them at their mercy]] - they ''have'' to pick up the VillainBall, [[EvilGloating mock their hopeless situation]] and [[KickTheDog draw out their death just because they can]], giving TheCavalry the opportunity to swoop in and [[BigDamnHeroes save them at the last minute.]]

** With their goal in sight, everyone tanks the vicious attacks while Tsuyu and Shoji slingshot Izuku towards All For One, watched on tv by Tsuy's cheering family and the young girl Shoji once saved. Everyone that Izuku had met through his fledgling career as a Hero cheers him on with Gentle providing an air trampoline to spring him to safety, Death Arms supporting him from the sidelines, a wounded but alive Tokoyami awakens, Iida giving Izuku a rocket boost, the Soul family alongside Rody himself and Melissa watching from afar and Uraraka, who also gave Izuku the idea to take up "Deku" as his Hero name, which everyone around the world is chanting the meaning of.

*** Despite having accepted Izuku's nature as a threat to him, All For One believes he merely needs to kill him to finally break his enemies' willpower, the only reason they can continue to face him... only to find out ''he can't''. Trying to fire another attack at Izuku reveals that the stigmata-like holes in his PowerPalms, the symbol of his own Quirk's power and his own all-devouring greed to consume the Quirks around him, is '''bleeding'''. Though the reason is unrevealed, the implications are clear: All For One's body ''and'' his Quirk are on the verge of breaking, and can no longer summon or maintain the overwhelming power he needs to overcomes the odds against him alone, giving Izuku a window of opportunity to close the distance between them with a final Full Cowling-powered leap.

*** Despite his claims of having better control over his powers to utterly crush the heroes without his emotions causing them to go berserk, the heroes demonstrate that this ''doesn't change anything''; as his finer control just makes the attacks more limited and focused, thus easier for them to deal with through greater teamwork than his solo use of multiple powers. Hagakure uses her light-manipulation abilities to simply bend the beam of destruction backwards like a cheap piece of rubber to burn away the rest of All For One's attack whilst Yaoyorozu unveils her greatest Creation yet: "[[{{BFG}} ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RAILGUN!]]". Charged up with Kamari as a battery, the blast penetrates enough into the Quirk maelstrom the arch villain's creating that he has to physically block it with his own hand.

** Throughout all of this, All For One is utterly perplexed as to why even the weakest of his foes, barely able to stand, keep rising to their feet in opposition of him and support of his powerless adversary, each and every one of them showing a defiant will in their eyes that his best efforts cannot extinguish....until he recalls his own chastisement of Izuku towards Yoichi's vestige, mocking his powerless yet non-stop efforts to save others around him.
--->'''All For One:''' (''He finds himself helplessly watching! Conferring this power to someone so worthless was a mistake!'') Right. Midoriya...Izuku Midoriya... '''Midoriya!!''' It's your ''weakness''. It was something All Might lacked. A weak feeble strength that [[HopeBringer spurs these vermin to stand up so doggedly]]. [[ICanStillFight That will not perish]] so long as you keep moving forward.

--->'''POTUS:''' Send every hero we've got over to Japan, pronto!
--->'''Aide:''' But, Mr. President! If All For One wins today, you would be putting our nation's security in jeopardy-
--->'''POTUS:''' LIKE I GIVE A DAMN, JUST DO IT!

--->'''All Might:''' ...you've been '''my''' greatest hero!
--->'''Inko Midoriya:''' DO YOUR BEST...IZUKU!!

** As none of the heroes can even ''scratch'' the behemoth, Aizawa orders everyone to instead carve a path for Izuku to reach All For One, who charges up a dark WaveMotionGun and fires it at the crowd, only for Hagakure to use her light-manipulation abilities to simply bend the beam of destruction backwards like a cheap piece of rubber while Yaoyorozu unveils her greatest Creation yet: "[[{{BFG}} ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RAILGUN!]]".

** The chapter ends with Izuku cleaving through the darkness surrounding All For One like butter despite being left with One For All's base raw strength.

-->'''Uraraka (Past):''' "It just screams 'Do Your Best!!'"
** Eventually the news reaches America, where the President of the United States was previously afraid that his country would fall to All For One after Star and Stripe's death at his hands. Now enraged with hope, he finally gives the order to send every hero the USA has to Japan.

-->'''Mineta:''' Imagine ''not'' taking a real stand here. Why even dream of being a hero then? What would be the point?\\

** Whilst the other heroes hold All For One back, Izuku tries to stand up to help as his arms finish reforming, only to collapse to his knees in sudden exhaustion -- Aizawa points out that he was only rewound to just before his arms were lost, so all the accumulated fatigue agaisnt Tomura likewise remains with Izuku, leaving him as worn-down as the Demon lord. Izuku furthermore confirms to Aizawa the extent of his {{Depower}}: not just the ancillary Quirks, but most of the stockpiled power over the generations was forced into Tomura as damage, leaving Izuku almost Quirkless once again...''almost''. Though he didn't possess it for long, his intense training and synchronisation with One For All nonetheless left remnants of the power within the Quirkless boy, as he glares up at his enemy with faint Full Cowling lighting beginning to arc around him.

*** Sero's speech is a ''massive'' crap on one of All For One's [[MiseryBuildsCharacter core beliefs]], something he's implied to be so adamant about not only because it's one of the only ways [[TheSociopath he]] can understand character-growth, but as a means of justifying the harsh living conditions he raised himself and Yoichi in as children, that he "deserves" to be so strong and powerful from having singlehandedly overcome such hardship. Sero's words just drives it home to All For One that yes, all the struggles he experienced ''were'' pointless and AllForNothing in the end, because he learned no real lessons from them, and indeed ''continues'' to make the same mistakes over and over again, giving himself miserable defat after humiliating loss from his refusal to learn from the past. Even better, All For One doesn't bother replying to Sero, hinted to be not because he's too apathetic to consider his words, but because, currently wallowing in his misery from losing Yoichi and being left crippled from it, some part of him actually '''agrees''' with Sero, that his strength isn't worth his pain.

*** Izuku is the only person All For One refers to amidst the army assembled before him, singling him out with his full name. However, this isn't because he considers him a WorthyOpponent because of the damage he succeeded in inflicting on Tomura's body. Having lost Yoichi, being [[VengeanceDenied denied the chance to even take vengeance on the remnant vestiges]] within One For All from their own HeroicSacrifice or having the ability to steal any of the stockpiled strength his brother's Quirk accumulated from it all being exhausted against Tomura, Izuku, the child All For One adamantly insisted upon was "[[InadequateInheritor worthless]]" throughout the war, is himself [[ClosestThingWeGot the only remanent of his brother's legacy left to All For One]], and accordingly [[LivingEmotionalCrutch the only motivation left]] for the apathetic Demon Lord to do ''anything'', in a fitting mirror of All For One's obsession and connection with Yoichi. But whereas his twin motivated All For One to greater heights of power through his opposition to him, his resistance to his signature ability and their long history together, Izuku ''demeans'' the Demon Lord, forcing him to face the fact that all his tireless plans and generations of effort have been reduced to taking [[PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize petty vengeance on a nigh-powerless child not even in his twenties]] to avenge his disgrace at his hands, a humiliating effort that is nonetheless the only true concrete motivation left to All For One.

*** And the best part? ''It's AFO's own fault.''
