Chapter 221

Memento from All For One (オール・フォー・ワンの置き土産) is the two hundred and twenty-first chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Synopsis
In the middle of the battle between the League of Villains and Gigantomachia, a voice revealed to be All For One's doctor interrupts the fight. Spinner questions whether this was the doctor the League has been looking for. Daruma askes Tomura Shigaraki if he's keeping his remaining allies healthy, in which the latter admits that the League is running short on members. However, a tearful Gigantomahica proceeds to smash the ground, causing all League members to lose their footing. Gigantomachia's sheer power ends up destroying the majority of the landscape.

The beast comments that he wants to accept Tomura but can't due to Tomura being incapable of proving himself worthy of being All For One's successor. Daruma then introduces more info on Gigantomachia to the League, explaining that he once served as All For One's bodyguard. The doctor points out that the colossal beast possesses unlimited stamina and capable of welding multiple Quirks without any complex modifications.

The doctor adds on that as All For One's power began to wither away thanks to All Might, the megalomaniac knew that he'll eventually meet his defeat, thus leading to him hiding Gigantomachia from the public eye. He reveals that All For One did this just to make sure his legacy would live on through Tomura's command. Dabi comments that this isn't a nice gift from their old leader, and the doctor agrees since Gigantomachia is too loyal to All For One.

With that being said, Dabi hurls a large wave of fire straight at the beast, who simply shrugs it off much to Dabi's dismay. Before Gigantomachia prepares to unleash another one of his devastating attacks, a voice recording of All For One plays from the radio. This effectively calms Gigantomachia as he cuddles up to the voice of his "beloved" master. An irritated Tomura claims that he doesn't want to handle Gigantomachia. The doctor tells the young pupil that he spent too much time with Kurogiri and tells him to grow up. Suddenly, black ooze emerges from the League's bodies, transporting them all to a secret laboratory filled with multiple Nomu hybrids.

It is revealed that the doctor was responsible behind the Warping Quirk once used by All For One from the Kamino Incident. Dabi immediately notices the strange-looking Nomu sealed in multiple testing-tubes, noting that these ones are quite different from the usual ones they deployed in the past. The Doctor calls them High-End and says they're much more advanced than the old Nomu. Tomura asks if the Doctor if he can duplicate the Quirk-Destroying Bullets.

Mr. Compress says that he can't see the Doctor and this spooks the latter into hiding in a dark tunnel. The Doctor apologizes and explains that they are not to approach him unless they want to be transported back to Gigantomachia. He introduces himself as Daruma Ujiko, an admitted alias. Daruma tells Tomura that he's only helping out of loyalty to All For One. He claims Tomura himself hasn't accomplished anything and he that must prove that he can carry on All For One's will.
