Volume Summary[]

Only one man is walking away from the epic rematch between All Might and All For One. All Might's superpowers may be long gone, but he's no less of a superhero as he throws everything he's got at the diabolical mastermind. Meanwhile, All For One wants nothing more than to reach Tomura, his ideal vessel. With the whole world watching and All Might hanging on by his fingernails, one young protégé of his might have to step up to save the day.
