Chapter 408 Recap
As Kudou and Yoichi tried to escape from All For One, the villain destroyed his brother’s body without hesitation. He saw Yoichi as nothing more than an object he owned, going as far as to name him Yoichi, the first thing given to him. During this encounter, Kudou absorbed the newly formed Quirk, One For All.
The second user, named Bruce, revealed this information to Kudou, who realized this must have been Yoichi’s power. During their final encounter, Kudou revealed to All For One that he had Yoichi’s Quirk and will to fight. For decades, All For One fought against the One For All Users, from Kudou to Nana.

It was All Might who gave him the finishing blow, killing him momentarily. Doctor Garaki had to sneak into the morgue to rescue his body and bring him back to life. In the present, the villain pondered if Bakugo and Kudou were somehow related. Yet, he concluded the two had the same determined look, which is why the young Hero reminded him of his archnemesis.
Suddenly, All For One realized he did not have much time left before his new body would disappear. He needed to get to Shigaraki as quickly as possible, so he decided to use all of his Quirks at the same time. This resulted in his body turning into a monstrous being, with several heads and limbs. Bakugo, still smiling, proclaimed that the villain’s plan would never work.
