Anyone else here who just calls him All For One? I have to consciously remind myself to use 'Hisashi Midoriya' when talking about this, because he's so deeply embedded as the archetypal supervillain mastermind that his actual name feels weirdly intimate. The key battles are less about him throwing punches directly and more about his orchestration.

Think about the Kamino Ward arc. That showdown between All Might and All For One is the centerpiece, but the entire battle is his creation—he engineered it to break Symbol of Peace publicly. The way he monologues about passing on his will to Tomura Shigaraki while fighting is chilling; it's less a physical fight and more a philosophical war over the concept of 'legacy.'

Then there's the Paranormal Liberation War, which is basically his endgame strategy playing out even while he's locked up. He's directing the liberation front, manipulating Shigaraki's body and mind from a distance. The actual conflict with Star and Stripe feels like a side effect of his grand plan, proving his influence stretches globally. Honestly, the most terrifying battles involving him are the ones he starts without even being physically present.

Main ones? Kamino, for sure. That's the definitive showdown. Then there's the later stuff when he breaks out and possesses Shigaraki's body—that whole chaotic final act battle with Deku, Bakugo, and everyone. It's less a clean duel and more a sprawling war of attrition against a demon king who just won't stay down. The scale is insane.

I'm honestly a bit confused about what counts as 'his' battle. Like, the big one is obviously All Might vs All For One at Kamino. That's the iconic 'Symbol of Peace vs Symbol of Evil' clash, and it's brutal. All Might's final smash, the United States of Smash, finishes it but wrecks him.

But then later, when Deku goes berserk against Shigaraki, isn't that also kind of a battle with Hisashi's legacy? Since All For One's quirk and will are inside Shigaraki? It gets blurry. The fight on the floating UA fortress sort of counts, because All For One's consciousness is actively trying to take over Shigaraki's body mid-fight. The lines between the characters get so messy by the end.

What role does Hisashi Mha play in My Hero Academia's story?

All Might's little shadow, right? That's how I saw Hisashi at first, but the show's spent a decade fleshing out his absence into something much weirder. He's a narrative ghost, basically. The story's about legacy and what makes a hero, and Izuku's dad being this literal void in his life creates this perfect pressure. Izuku builds himself on All Might's borrowed power and his mom's support, but that foundational 'father figure' spot is just empty. It throws All Might's mentorship into even sharper relief. Honestly, the fandom theories are half the fun. The 'Hisashi is All For One' idea has been kicking around forever. It's probably not true, but it speaks to how his role is a big, unanswered question mark that the plot can potentially use later. He's less a character and more a loaded Chekhov's gun somewhere off-stage. Even if he never shows up, his function is clear: he's the 'what if' that makes Izuku's origin story feel more personally rooted than just being handed a quirk.
