All For One

All For One (オール・フォー・ワン) is the true leader and benefactor of the League of Villains, the primary antagonist of the Hideout Raid Arc and the central antagonist of the series, along with Tomura Shigaraki.

Once Japan's most powerful villain and All Might's arch-nemesis, his true motives are unclear and his true identity unknown. His current goal is to raise Tomura to become his eventual successor.

Appearance
After being mortally injured by All Might years ago, All For One's face seems to be made entirely of scar tissue, extending from above his upper lip and covering his entire head and the back of his neck. As such, he has no visible nose, ears, hair, or eyes, though the outlines of eye sockets can rarely be seen. As a result of having no eyes, he cannot see properly, but “sees” by using an infrared vision Quirk and by sensing the directions of vibrations in the area around him, similar to echolocation. He has various tubes sticking out of his neck and jaw, presumably to help with breathing.

In flashbacks, he appears to be an ordinary looking man with short hair. However, his face is not shown clearly.

He has worn a suit in all of his appearances to date.

When All For One leaves his secret hideout, he wears a black, skull-like mask with angular pipes at the top, a collar-like life support system around his neck, and his suit.

Personality
All For One is a psychopath and a misanthrope. He does not hesitate to exploit people for his own gain. It is implied that he is also very charismatic as he was able to quickly amass several villains for followers and rule over Japan. His motives remain a mystery, although when All Might questioned him, All For One replied that he simply wanted to realize his ideals and he had the power to do so.

Perhaps due to his confidence and immense power, he has a calm and condescending demeanor, confident even when thwarted. All For One prefers to use forceful actions rather than emotional words.

All For One believes that his protégé, Tomura Shigaraki, has the ideal conditions to succeed him and continue his legacy. Still, All For One is aware of Tomura's general immaturity and tries to teach him how to grow as a Villain, although, unlike All Might, his methods of teaching are indirect. He speaks kindly towards Tomura and gives him encouragement when he fails.

All For One came off as quite impatient, as he wanted to get rid of the Pro Heroes and Police Force attacking the League of Villains as soon as possible. However, it is also possible that his body has a limit and he only wanted to do what he had to before the limit was reached.

All For One claims that he is unable to resist taking a Quirk once it piques his interest, much like a hoarder. He wanted to return some Quirks to their rightful owners although this appears to be an ambiguous statement. He also prefers stealing quirks that don't require extreme experience and difficulty to master, like Fiber Master.

Despite his power and authority, All For One is respectful with his subordinates and associates being generally polite rather than patronizing.

History
The introduction of Quirks to the world led to a period of societal collapse and an age of upheaval. During this time, a man with an overwhelmingly powerful Quirk called All For One arose in Japan and decided to take advantage of the chaos. He stole many Quirks, attaining immense power and influence. Using his incredible might, the man gathered and unified dozens of people under his command. He then manipulated the people he gathered like pawns to further his plans and eventually became Japan's ruler. It's suggested that he ruled from the shadows, as most of his actions in the present day are only known as rumors on the internet.

All For One's younger brother opposed his evil. For unclear reasons, All For One used his Quirk to forcibly give his little brother a Quirk that could stockpile power. What no one knew at the time is that All For One's younger brother already had a useless Quirk which could only be transferred to others. The two Quirks mutated, blending together, and would later become known as One For All.

All For One's younger brother was not strong enough to defeat him with his new Quirk, so he passed it on to the next generation in the hopes that one day One For All would be strong enough to defeat his older brother. It is suggested that All For One would fight these successors.

Seven generations later, Sensei killed All Might's predecessor, Nana Shimura. All Might eventually fought and critically injured All For One, but he similarly received a debilitating wound in the process.

Incapacitated by his defeat, All For One went into hiding as he attempted to heal from his injuries. He would later create the League of Villains (where he took on his "Sensei" identity) and begin grooming Tomura Shigaraki as his successor. He was well aware that Tomura was really the grandson of Nana Shimura and wanted him to use this to his advantage. He also started grooming other powerful individuals who he deems to have a lot of potential, such as Gigantomachia.

Quirk and Abilities
Overall Abilities: All For One is extremely powerful, as he battled All Might when he was in his prime and gave him a grievous wound (which would limit All Might's usage of One For All). All For One was able to easily defeat Best Jeanist, the number four Pro Hero.

Genius Intellect: All For One possesses a genius level of intellect, possibly due to his advanced age and life experience. He is the true mastermind behind the League of Villains and has been pulling the strings the whole time. He also seems to possess a vast knowledge of the Quirks he's stolen, as shown when he knew about the advantages and disadvantages of his Warping Quirk. Using this extensive knowledge of Quirks and his All For One Quirk, he can combine several Quirks to create devastating and catastrophic techniques.

Immense Strength: All For One is extremely strong, being able to easily fend off All Might with his bare hands.

Immense Speed: All For One has incredible speed, as shown when he completely destroyed the League of Villains' warehouse, defeated all the Pro Heroes there, and dealt significant damage to the surrounding area in a split second.

Immense Durability: All For One possesses an extreme amount of durability and resilience, being able to survive All Might's United States of Smash.

Enhanced Senses: Due to All For One being blind, his hearing improved immensely, as he is able to perceive his surroundings by sound. He can also sense vibrations in the air.

Quirks
All For One (オール・フォー・ワン): All For One's Quirk allows him to steal people's Quirks and renders them his own. He can even combine his stolen Quirks to create novel attacks with devastating effects. This Quirk can also grant stolen Quirks to other people, and forcibly activate the quirks of others. All For One has stolen a variety of Quirks with his ability, including:


 * Search (サーチ): All For One stole this Quirk from Ragdoll. With this Quirk, he can observe and monitor up to 100 people at a time, including their location and weak points.


 * Warping (転送): All For One can produce a black liquid that acts as a portal, similar in nature to Kurogiri's Warp Gate. It appears All For One can use this Quirk on a large scale as he produces multiple black liquid portals that transport dozens of Nomus to the League of Villains' hideout. This Quirk, however, has many limitations: it is not a coordinate-based warping and can only warp things to and from his location, and it only works if it is used on someone with whom he has a close relationship.


 * Air Cannon (空気を押し出す): All For One releases an air shockwave from his arms. This Quirk is further strengthened by its combined usage with Musculoskeletal Coiling and several other power-up Quirks.


 * Springlike Limbs (筋骨発条化): This Quirk seemingly enhances physical prowess and can also be used to power up other Quirks like Air Propulsion.


 * Kinetic Booster: This unnamed Quirk seemingly increases the amount of kinetic energy All For One creates and releases.


 * Strength Enhancer: The unnamed Quirk seemingly enhances All For One's physical strength.


 * Forcible Quirk Activation (個性強制発動): All For One transforms his fingers into jagged, far-reaching spikes that pierce a target and activate their Quirk against their will, whether they are conscious or not. These appendages can also be used for offensive purposes.


 * Impact Recoil (衝撃反転): This Quirk seemingly enables All For One to completely reflect the impact of an attack back to the attacker.


 * Infrared Ray (赤外線): This Quirk allows All For One to sense his surroundings using infrared rays. He uses this Quirk to compensate for his blindness. However, the amount that he is able to sense is very limited.


 * Air Walk (エアウォーク): All For One is capable of levitating in mid air.


 * Longevity: All For One possesses unnatural longevity through the usage of an as-of-yet unknown Quirk, being older than any other human. Eight generations after his brother passed on One For All, he remains active and dangerous.


 * Proliferation (増殖): This Quirk seemingly multiplies the number of All For One's arms.


 * Hypertrophy (肥大化): This Quirk seemingly enlarges All For One's Arm.


 * Rivet (鋲): This Quirk possibly generates rivet like growths on All For One's arm.


 * Spearlike Bones (槍骨): This Quirk probably generates drill-like bone structures on All For One's arm.

It is also possible that he possessed some, if not all of following Quirks, to which he gave to his Nomu:


 * Absorption and Release (吸収・放出): This Quirk allowed an unnamed Artificial Human to absorb and release attacks.


 * Tongue Web: This Quirk allowed an unnamed Artificial Human to shapeshift his tongue into massive, branched web-like form.


 * Muscle Enlargement: This Quirk allowed an unnamed Artificial Human to momentarily enlarge his muscle structure before jumping.


 * Pterodactyl: This Quirk gave Winged Nomu wings and strong claws. It is however implied that the Winged Nomu possessed this Quirk as a human and thus did not obtain it from All For One.


 * Tool Arms: This Quirk allowed an unnamed Artificial Human to generate numerous limbs fused with functioning metallic tools and weapons.


 * Shock Absorption (ショック吸収): This Quirk can absorb and partially distill impact force from physical assault. Limited in how much punishment it can take.


 * Super Regeneration (超再生): This quirk enables rapid physical regeneration, does not work for cicatrized injuries.

Super Moves

 * Ultimate Combination: All For One combines Springlike Limbs, four Kinetic Booster Quirks, three Strength Enhancer Quirks, Proliferation, Hypertrophy, Rivet and Spearlike Bones to greatly enhance his right arm.

Tomura Shigaraki
All For One is grooming Tomura as his successor. He was the one who rescued Tomura from an incident during his childhood. All For One is deeply invested in Tomura's growth and was satisfied when Tomura finally developed a plan to achieve a goal on his own. When the police and Pro Heroes targeted Tomura, All For One retaliated with force before teleporting Tomura and his friends to safety. It is unknown whether Tomura is aware that All For One killed his grandmother, however, it does appear that All For One truly cares for Tomura, having a similar relationship like All Might has with Izuku, as before he teleported Tomura away for the last time he told his pupil to continue the fight without him.

All Might
All For One detests Toshinori, as he is the One For All successor who incapacitated him and defeated his comrades. All For One seems to enjoy belittling and ridiculing Toshinori during their confrontation, even relishing in breaking Toshinori's spirit by revealing that Tomura is Nana's grandson. According to All For One, Toshinori took something from him long ago resulting him his hatred of him. Despite being defeated by the latter, All For One took his loss in stride and mocked All Might for not dying when he had the chance, confident that his pupil will become stronger to take over the League of Villains. All For One is also aware of the fact that Izuku Midoriya is the current bearer of One For All and critcizes All Might for being a pathetic teacher.

Nana Shimura
All For One thinks Nana was a pitiful woman. He mocks her commitment to ideals and disparages her strength and, by his admission, declared the latter died a pitiful death.

All For One tarnished her memory by knowingly taking in and grooming her grandson Tomura Shigaraki to be his successor.

Trivia

 * According to Gran Torino, the Quirks and tactics he uses in his second fight against All Might are completely different from his first.
 * All For One's black ornate mask and life support system is possibly inspired by Darth Vader's armor from the Star Wars franchise.
 * All For One using his Infrared Quirk to sense his surroundings as a means to work around his blindness is based on Marvel superhero Daredevil's ability in sensing surrounding by using vibration and sound.
 * All For One is similar to the villain Apocalypse. Both can steal the abilities of just about anyone and have a super-powered disciple loyal to only them, (Tomura Shigaraki and Mr. Sinister).
 * His name is clearly the antithesis of his mortal enemy's Quirk, "One For All", since because this peculiarity express the difference between the heroic Superhero and the mischevious Villain. Their names come from the classic phrase "All for One, and One for All" but while the single phrase expresses unity and solidarity their respective names indicate antagonism and hatred toward each other. "One For All" expresses the selflessness, kindness, and altruism of the character, who is ready to sacrifice themselves for the good of people, while "All For One" indicates the great Egoism of a ruthless man who doesn't have problems to use or harm people for his own goal.
 * All For One cannot steal One For All most likely because it is passed on voluntarily. He also cannot steal it from All Might because Toshinori no longer possesses One For All.
 * All for One is the oldest known individual in the series, predating generations of users of One for All and their associates such as the elderly Gran Torino.

Quotes

 * (To his doctor, in regards to Tomura Shigaraki) "I know that boy will rise to the occasion. He was born twisted. So enjoy it while you can, All Might... This transient peace of yours!"


 * (To Tomura Shigaraki) "You've failed again, Tomura. But you mustn't lose heart. There will be more chances to set things right. That's why I've brought along your little band. And the boy... because you determined that he is an important pawn. So go and try again. That's what I'm here to help you to do. It's... all... for you."
