The Lunatic (THE () LUNATIC (ルナティック) Za Runatikku?) is the four hundred and first chapter of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia.

Summary[]

Bloodlet and Antigen Swap

All For One escapes Stain and All Might's grasp.

All For One is paralyzed thanks to Stain's Bloodcurdle. Stain recalls the conversation he overheard between Shoto and Ingenium, figuring what was going on, and followed the path of destruction to find a bloodstain spilled on some debris. Sniffing the blood, he was able to recognize it as not being All Might's, and licked it. With All For One frozen, he charges downward on his glider with his katana, mentally telling All Might why he would now leave the shadows and expose himself, recalling their previous conversation, which All Might himself recognizes, that he is here because he must live.

Right before Stain and All Might are about to hit him, All For One uses Forced Quirk Activation on Bloodlet, causing his blood to completely expel from his body. All For One angrily yells out to Stain, having kept the Quirk in reserve since he had a feeling he would make a move, since he was the only one during the Assault on Tartarus not to follow him and flee on his own. Stain proceeds to try and swallow the spilled blood anyway, however All For One reveals his Antigen Swap Quirk, able to overwrite his own blood type, which is how he's been able to never leave a trace of himself behind.

A fist extends from All For One's back, grabbing and crushing Stain, telling him that draining his blood has helped regained his composure. All Might rushes toward Stain, only for All For One to thrust the fist, tossing him through several buildings in the distance. All For One appears before Stain's barely conscious body, declaring he'll be taking his Quirk now. He comments on how he made valuable contributions to the growth of Tomura and the League of Villains, however that was where his role ended.

Stain's final moments

Stain wants All Might to live on.

All Might desperately chases after them, calling out to All For One, while Stain weakly coughs out that it didn't end and was all part of the process. He thinks about how he never benefitted from education, and that it was All Might who taught him what a hero is. He stretches his arms out, thinking for All Might to live on and triumph, just as All For One decimates Stain, killing him. All Might is about to be hit by a point blank attack from All For One, but suddenly, the last remains of Hercules appears to give him one final shield, repeating that he must live on, as they are flung backward through several more buildings.

All Might awakens to see a vision of Nana Shimura encouraging him that he can still do this, which he knows is just a hallucination giving him a pep talk. A vision of Sir Nighteye then appears, telling him his support items, his legs, and all he's been given are rendered useless, so he can no longer fight. However, despite this, he is not dead yet. All Might angrily remains determined, prepared for All For One to do his worst, as the floating U.A. is slowly falling in the distance, while a voice warns that All For One is nearing Tomura, and within range to use his Warping Quirk.

I received a star-naming gift for Jeanist. We might be able to create some constellations soon.
