All For One's Endgame If He Won (Canon-Based Analysis)

All For One (AFO) in My Hero Academia is driven by pure selfishness, megalomania, and a twisted "demon lord" fantasy from childhood comics. He doesn't care about the world, society, or even most people — he views them as disposable tools, playthings, or prizes to steal from. His core obsession is personal completion and eternal dominance, not rebuilding or conquering for any greater cause. Like Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2, who seeks to rule through superior firepower to prove his worth and erase his past rejection, AFO's plans are deeply personal: rooted in ego, possessiveness over his brother Yoichi, and a desire to "have it all" without opposition. But AFO's villainy is colder — no redemption arc, just endless control.

Canon Motivations and Goals (From the Wiki)

Demon Lord Fantasy: AFO explicitly models himself after comic book villains: a supreme evil ruling through fear, while heroes cower in shadows. He declares, "This will be the story of how I became the greatest demon lord of all!" and wants a world "that exists for my sake and mine alone."

Obsession with Yoichi and One For All (OFA): Yoichi is his only "family," seen as his possession. AFO killed him in rage but spent centuries chasing OFA (which contains Yoichi's vestige) to "reclaim" and merge with him for "completeness." Stealing OFA would fuse their powers eternally, fulfilling his possessive love/hate. In his final moments, he begs Yoichi not to fade, admitting he was "nothing" without him — revealing deep loneliness beneath the cruelty.

Immortality and Possession: Groomed Tomura Shigaraki as a perfect vessel (amplifying his hatred to erode OFA's will and enable theft). In the Final War, AFO used rewinds to prime his body, planned full consciousness transfer into Tomura, steal OFA, and become an unkillable entity.

No Care for the World: Society is irrelevant — he exploits chaos, offers power manipulatively, discards allies (e.g., abandons useless followers), and thrives on fear/submission. He states things like, "My turn will never end," and envisions a "void era" where he thwarts humanity's future just because he can.

What If AFO Won? (Speculative, Grounded in Canon Statements)

If AFO succeeded — fully possessing Tomura's enhanced body, stealing OFA, merging with Yoichi — he'd achieve his "perfect" form: an immortal, omnipotent being with every Quirk imaginable, including stockpiled OFA power.

Immediate Aftermath: Eternal rule as the ultimate demon lord. No heroes left (All Might broken, Deku defeated/OFA stolen, society collapsed from war/chaos). World in perpetual fear, with AFO pulling strings from shadows or openly dominating.

Long-Term: A stagnant, hollow existence tailored to his whims. Everyone submits or dies; Quirks as currency under his control. He'd "possess" Yoichi forever, satisfying his obsession, but canon hints at emptiness — AFO needs external hatred/conflict for drive (he has none inherently), and ruling without challenge became "joyless" even in partial victories.

Not World-Building: Unlike conquerors who reform society, AFO wouldn't "fix" anything. No order, no prosperity — just endless personal satisfaction through fear and possession. It'd be a "void era" of stagnation, with humanity as fodder for his entertainment. Like Shen's cannon conquest starting a new era of peacock rule, AFO's win kicks off his eternal "turn," but it's selfish void, not legacy.

In short: Victory = god-like isolation with everything "his," including Yoichi. No grand society, just infinite dominance for a lonely, empty villain who finally "has it all" — but probably still feels incomplete, as his core is twisted neediness.

U.A School Au-AFOmight | Training dayum |

love his lit bro

chasing zen/afo is useless yagi,he does not gave a fuck abt u bro just gave up man.

alright time to explain shit. cirnge warning cus duh

alright so another explain

Anyway, in this AU, AFO still has his All For One quirk, but yeah. Because his lovely little brother asked nicely and slowly taught him how to act like this and that, and yup — here he was.

All Might knows them too; they were friends, just All Might and Yoichi though, PFT. So Yoichi politely asked his brother to give Yagi a quirk, and he did — lmao, and it’s One For All. Yagi doesn’t know about this; he just thought his quirk was coming late.

When they were entering U.A. (AFO in Class 1-A, Yoichi in 1-C, and All Might in 1-C), All Might was the popular guy in there — lmao. But he has a crush on AFO, LMAO. And all day, Yagi tried so many things to make AFO notice him, even following Kudou’s advice (being ignorant), but when Yagi did that, it was useless. Making AFO jealous or some shit? Useless. Because AFO doesn’t give a fuck, lmao.

AFO only uses one quirk, because of course, if people knew what his real quirk is — damn…

So AFO mainly uses his favorite quirks: Air Blast and Impact Recoil.

It’s like:

All Might was the sunshine and the star of U.A.

But AFO was just the side-character type — he doesn’t like attention.

So AFO’s personality is kinda changing:

Kid / Young:

Extremely intelligent

No empathy

Possessive affection

Really cold

Curious

Doesn’t yap

older: calm dictator, philosopher of control,cocky af,teasing,slightly annyoing,intimadate aura,too much confident.

anyway poor all might,afo does not care abt ur ass

Literal Connections

Literal connections refer to explicit or implied familial or relational ties between the Todoroki, Shimura, and Shigaraki families.

Himura Family Relation to Both Todorokis and Shigarakis:

Todoroki Connection: Rei Todoroki (née Himura) comes from the prestigious Himura family, known for their ice-related Quirks and a history of marrying between distant relatives to preserve their Quirk lineage (Page 5, Page 4). This practice strengthened the ice Quirk genes, which are dominant in Rei and her children (Page 2).

Shimura Connection: Geten, a distant relative from Rei's side of the Himura family, is explicitly mentioned in Chapter 387 as discussing the Himura family's marriage practices while in a jail cell (Page 4). Geten is a member of the Paranormal Liberation Front, aligning him with Tomura Shigaraki’s forces, suggesting a distant familial tie between the Todorokis and the Shimura/Shigaraki lineage through the Himura family.

Implication: The Himura family serves as a potential literal link, as Geten’s connection to Rei indicates that the Todorokis and Shigarakis may share distant relatives or a common ancestral lineage, even if not directly through the main family lines.

All For One’s Manipulation Across Families:

Shimura Family: All For One, under the guise of Zen Shigaraki, a "family friend" from Koga Construction, directly influenced the Shimura family by encouraging Kotaro Shimura’s abusive behavior and the birth of Tenko (Tomura Shigaraki) to serve as a vessel for his plans (Page 29, Page 25). This manipulation led to the tragic destruction of the Shimura family.

Todoroki Family: While not explicitly stated in the document, All For One’s broader schemes in My Hero Academia involve destabilizing hero society, which indirectly affects the Todorokis through Dabi’s actions as a villain aligned with the League of Villains (Page 19). Dabi’s vendetta against Endeavor aligns with All For One’s goal of undermining heroes, suggesting a thematic but not necessarily literal manipulation of the Todorokis.

Implication: All For One’s influence as a puppet master connects the families through his schemes, positioning both Tomura Shigaraki and Dabi (Toya Todoroki) as his pawns, creating a literal connection through their shared villainous affiliations.

Shared Family Registry Context:

The document mentions that Kotaro Shimura’s relation to his mother, Nana Shimura, was erased from the family registry to protect him from All For One (Page 25). Similarly, the Todoroki family’s dark past, including Toya’s presumed death, was kept hidden until Dabi’s public broadcast (Page 1). While not a direct familial tie, both families have histories of concealing or altering family records to protect or obscure their members’ identities.

Implication: This shared theme of hidden identities or altered family records suggests a parallel in how both families navigate their legacies, potentially hinting at deeper connections in the broader My Hero Academia universe.

Figurative Connections

Figurative connections focus on thematic parallels, shared archetypes, or narrative similarities that make the families seem related in a symbolic or storytelling sense.

Big, Screwed-Up Family Dynamic:

Todoroki Family: Described as a “Big, Screwed-Up Family” due to Endeavor’s obsession with surpassing All Might through a Quirk marriage, leading to domestic abuse, neglect, and Toya’s transformation into Dabi (Page 1). The family’s dysfunction stems from Endeavor’s ambition and its fallout, including emotional and physical scars (Page 1, Page 14).

Shimura Family: Also labeled a “Big, Screwed-Up Family” due to Kotaro Shimura’s abusive parenting, driven by his resentment toward his mother, Nana Shimura, and her hero lifestyle (Page 19). This led to Tenko’s accidental killing of the family and his transformation into Tomura Shigaraki (Page 20).

Implication: Both families are defined by generational trauma caused by a parent’s unresolved issues, resulting in a child becoming a major villain (Dabi and Shigaraki), making them narratively parallel as dysfunctional families torn apart by ambition or resentment.

Abusive Parenting Leading to Villainous Offspring:

Todoroki Family: Endeavor’s abuse and neglect of Toya, Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Shoto, coupled with his focus on creating a perfect heir, drove Toya to become Dabi, a villain seeking revenge by exposing Endeavor’s sins (Page 1, Page 2).

Shimura Family: Kotaro’s physical and emotional abuse of Tenko, fueled by his hatred of heroes, pushed Tenko to awaken his Decay Quirk, killing his family and becoming Tomura Shigaraki under All For One’s influence (Page 21, Page 24).

Implication: Both families feature a father figure whose abusive behavior directly contributes to a son’s descent into villainy, creating a mirror image of how parental failure shapes destructive legacies.

Generational Trauma:

Todoroki Family: Endeavor’s obsession with being the strongest hero stems from witnessing his father’s death while trying to save a girl, leading him to impose his ambitions on his children, particularly Toya (Page 2). This trauma cascades into the family’s dysfunction, with Toya internalizing that his worth depends on fulfilling Endeavor’s goals (Page 2).

Shimura Family: Kotaro’s trauma from being abandoned by his mother, Nana Shimura, for his safety fuels his hatred of heroes, which he projects onto Tenko, leading to the family’s destruction (Page 21). Nana’s choice to prioritize her hero duties over her son creates a ripple effect of pain (Page 24).

Implication: Both families suffer from trauma passed down from a parent’s choices (Endeavor’s father’s death, Nana’s abandonment), which shapes their children’s fates and ties them thematically as families burdened by inherited pain.

Accomplice by Inaction:

Todoroki Family: Rei, Fuyumi, and Natsuo acknowledge their roles in failing to stop Toya’s descent into villainy by not addressing his issues or Endeavor’s abuse effectively (Page 3). Rei, in particular, admits her passivity contributed to Toya’s pain (Page 5).

Shimura Family: Nao, Chizuo, and Mako are described as complicit by inaction for not intervening in Kotaro’s abuse of Tenko, telling him to endure it instead, which fueled his resentment and led to their deaths (Page 19).

Implication: Both families feature members who, despite loving their troubled child, fail to act decisively, contributing to the child’s villainous transformation, reinforcing their shared narrative of regret and missed opportunities.

Quirk-Related Dysfunction:

Todoroki Family: The family’s dysfunction revolves around Quirks, with Endeavor’s Quirk marriage to Rei aimed at producing a child with a perfect fire-and-ice Quirk (Page 1). Toya’s powerful fire Quirk, incompatible with his cold-resistant body, led to his neglect and eventual villainy (Page 3).

Shimura Family: Tenko’s Decay Quirk, which awakened uncontrollably, was the catalyst for the family’s destruction (Page 20). Kotaro’s hatred of heroes, tied to his mother’s Quirk-based heroism, exacerbated Tenko’s isolation (Page 21).

Implication: Both families’ tragedies are tied to Quirks, either through deliberate manipulation (Endeavor’s eugenics) or unintended consequences (Tenko’s Quirk awakening), highlighting how Quirks amplify familial conflict.

Public Exposure of Family Secrets:

Todoroki Family: Dabi broadcasts the Todoroki family’s dark past—Endeavor’s abuse and the Quirk marriage—nationwide, aiming to destroy his father’s reputation (Page 1, Page 3).

Shimura Family: While not explicitly public, Tenko’s transformation into Tomura Shigaraki and his actions as a villain indirectly expose the Shimura family’s tragic history, especially through his own recounting of his family’s deaths (Page 19).

Implication: Both families’ dysfunctions are revealed to the public or within the narrative, tying their stories to societal consequences and making their private pain a public spectacle.

Sibling Dynamics and Betrayal:

Todoroki Family: Toya feels replaced by Shoto, leading to his resentment and eventual villainy, while Fuyumi and Natsuo struggle with their roles in ignoring Toya’s issues (Page 5, Page 3). Shoto, being too young, is the only one not blamed (Page 3).

Shimura Family: Hana betrays Tenko by scapegoating him to avoid Kotaro’s wrath, damaging their bond and contributing to Tenko’s emotional spiral (Page 27). This betrayal parallels Toya’s sense of being replaced.

Implication: Both families feature a sibling who feels betrayed or neglected (Toya by Shoto’s birth, Tenko by Hana’s betrayal), driving them toward villainy, creating a parallel in sibling-related pain.

Thematic Connections Involving the Shigaraki Brothers

The Shigaraki brothers, Yoichi and Zen (All For One), add another layer of connection, particularly through their influence on the Shimura family and their broader impact on the Todorokis.

Opposing Ideals and Family Conflict:

Shigaraki Brothers: Yoichi’s sense of justice clashes with Zen’s (All For One’s) ambition and megalomania, leading to Yoichi’s death and the creation of One For All (Page 31). Their sibling conflict drives the central hero-villain dichotomy of the series.

Todoroki Family: Shoto and Toya (Dabi) represent a similar hero-villain split, with Shoto pursuing heroism and Toya seeking revenge against their father (Page 1). Their conflict mirrors Yoichi and Zen’s ideological divide.

Shimura Family: Tenko’s desire to be a hero conflicts with Kotaro’s anti-hero stance, leading to Tenko’s transformation into Shigaraki (Page 21). This echoes the Shigaraki brothers’ conflict between justice and villainy.

Implication: All three family units feature internal conflicts between members with opposing values (heroism vs. villainy), tying them thematically as families divided by ideology.

Manipulation by All For One:

Shimura Family: All For One, as Zen Shigaraki, manipulates Kotaro into abusing Tenko, orchestrating the family’s destruction to create Tomura Shigaraki (Page 29).

Todoroki Family: While not directly manipulated, Toya/Dabi’s alignment with the League of Villains, led by All For One, ties the Todorokis to his schemes, as Dabi’s actions further All For One’s goal of destabilizing hero society (Page 19).

Shigaraki Brothers: Zen (All For One) directly kills Yoichi, setting the stage for One For All’s legacy, which opposes his plans (Page 31).

Implication: All For One’s influence as a manipulator connects all three families, either directly (Shimura, Shigaraki) or indirectly (Todoroki), making him a unifying force behind their tragedies.

Legacy of Heroism and Villainy:

Shigaraki Brothers: Yoichi’s creation of One For All establishes a heroic legacy, while Zen’s All For One Quirk fuels villainy, creating a generational conflict that impacts the entire series (Page 31).

Todoroki Family: Shoto carries on a heroic legacy, aiming to redefine his father’s tainted heroism, while Dabi represents a villainous rebellion against it (Page 1).

Shimura Family: Tenko’s initial desire to be a hero is crushed by Kotaro, leading to his villainous transformation as Shigaraki, who ironically becomes All For One’s successor (Page 20).

Implication: All three families are tied to the broader narrative of heroism vs. villainy, with each producing both heroes and villains whose actions ripple across generations.

Seemingly Related Elements

These are elements that make the families appear related due to narrative parallels or ambiguous connections that suggest deeper ties.

Shared Ice Quirks and the Himura Influence:

The Todoroki family’s ice Quirks (Rei, Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Shoto) and Toya’s latent ice Quirk (Page 2) are tied to the Himura family’s dominant ice genes (Page 3). Geten, a Himura relative, uses an ice Quirk and is aligned with Shigaraki’s forces (Page 4), creating a potential bridge between the families.

Seeming Connection: The presence of ice Quirks in both the Todoroki family and a Shigaraki-aligned character (Geten) suggests a possible shared genetic or Quirk-related history, though not explicitly confirmed.

Oversharing Family Drama:

Todoroki Family: The Todorokis are notorious for oversharing their drama, from Shoto’s conversation with Midoriya to Dabi’s nationwide broadcast (Page 3). This is humorously dubbed “Keeping up with the Todoroki” by fans (Page 3).

Shimura Family: Tenko’s recounting of his family’s deaths and Kotaro’s abuse in his memories (Page 19) mirrors the Todorokis’ public exposure, as does Geten’s oversharing about the Himura family (Page 4).

Seeming Connection: The tendency to reveal family secrets, whether intentionally (Dabi) or unintentionally (Shoto, Geten), creates a narrative parallel that makes the families seem linked through their inability to keep private matters private.

Environmental Impact of Family Conflicts:

Todoroki Family: The Todorokis’ use of Flashfire Fist during their battles creates a pyrocumulonimbus storm, potentially affecting global weather (Page 4).

Shimura Family: Tenko’s Decay Quirk destroys the Shimura household, symbolizing the collapse of Kotaro’s control (Page 20).

Seeming Connection: Both families’ conflicts have outsized environmental or societal impacts, suggesting their dramas are not just personal but world-altering, reinforcing their narrative kinship.

Tragic Parental Figures:

Todoroki Family: Rei’s mental breakdown and Endeavor’s abusive ambition parallel Kotaro’s abusive control and Nao’s inability to stop him (Page 5, Page 26).

Shimura Family: Kotaro’s hatred of heroes and Nao’s passive complicity mirror the Todorokis’ dynamic of an abusive father and a mother who fails to intervene effectively (Page 21, Page 26).

Shigaraki Brothers: Yoichi’s powerlessness against Zen’s villainy parallels the Todoroki and Shimura parents’ failures to protect their children (Page 31).

Seeming Connection: The presence of tragic parental figures who either perpetuate or fail to stop harm creates a shared archetype across the families, making them seem related through their flawed guardianship.

Summary of Similarities

Literal Connections:

The Himura family links the Todorokis to the Shigaraki-aligned Geten, suggesting a distant familial tie.

All For One’s manipulation directly shapes the Shimura family and indirectly influences the Todorokis through Dabi’s villainy.

Both families have histories of concealed or altered family records.

Figurative Connections:

Both the Todoroki and Shimura families are “Big, Screwed-Up Families” driven by abusive fathers (Endeavor, Kotaro) and passive mothers (Rei, Nao), leading to villainous sons (Dabi, Shigaraki).

MASSIVE SPOILERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

All For One’s past as "The Family Friend" in My Hero Academia is a calculated and sinister chapter of his long, villainous history, showcasing his manipulative nature and long-term scheming. Below is a detailed overview of his actions during this period, as described in the provided context, focusing on his role as the family friend to the Shimura family and his broader schemes.

All For One as "The Family Friend"

During his time as the "family friend" to the Shimura family, All For One operated under the guise of a seemingly benevolent figure from Koga Constructions, a front company he used to fund his criminal activities. His actions during this period were a meticulous blend of psychological manipulation and strategic planning, all aimed at orchestrating the creation of Tomura Shigaraki as his successor and a vessel for his ambitions.

Befriending Kotaro Shimura: All For One approached Kotaro Shimura, the son of Nana Shimura (the seventh One For All user), sometime after Kotaro’s daughter, Hana, developed her Quirk. Posing as a friendly associate from Koga Constructions, he cultivated a relationship with Kotaro, exploiting his existing resentment toward heroes due to his mother’s abandonment. All For One subtly reinforced Kotaro’s disdain by suggesting that heroes are unreliable, planting seeds of bitterness that would shape Kotaro’s harsh parenting style.

Encouraging Tenko’s Birth: All For One manipulated Kotaro into having another child, suggesting it would benefit Hana by providing a sibling to rely on in case heroes failed them. This led to the birth of Tenko Shimura (later Tomura Shigaraki). This was a deliberate move, as All For One saw Tenko as a potential "fragile vessel" he could mold, unlike Hana, who was too old to manipulate effectively.

Stealing Tenko’s Quirk: When Tenko was born, All For One secretly stole his original Quirk Factor, inherited from his parents, before it could manifest, rendering him Quirkless. This ensured Tenko’s vulnerability and dependency, setting the stage for All For One’s later manipulation.

Implanting the Decay Quirk: At age five, All For One, disguised as an old man, encountered Tenko after he heroically saved friends from a truck. Under the pretense of kindness, he offered to walk Tenko home and secretly transferred the Decay Quirk to him. This Quirk, derived from an incomplete copy of the Overhaul Quirk (stripped of its restorative properties), was engineered for destruction. All For One’s intent was to destabilize Tenko’s life, knowing the Quirk’s destructive power would lead to tragedy.

Orchestrating the Shimura Family Tragedy: All For One’s manipulation culminated in Tenko’s accidental murder of his family due to the uncontrollable Decay Quirk. By encouraging Kotaro’s harsh treatment of Tenko’s heroic aspirations, All For One ensured a volatile home environment that pushed Tenko to a breaking point. After Tenko killed his family and exacted revenge on his abusive father, All For One found him under a bridge, offering false comfort and a new home, positioning himself as a savior.

Grooming Tenko into Tomura Shigaraki: All For One took Tenko under his wing, providing guidance to channel his violent urges. He instructed Kyudai Garaki to preserve the dissected hands of Tenko’s family, using them to suppress his positive emotions and keep his trauma fresh, ensuring his hatred and destructive impulses dominated. When Tenko killed two street thugs, All For One rewarded him with their hands and renamed him Tomura Shigaraki, cementing his identity as a villain. The name "Tomura" (meaning "to mourn") and the surname "Shigaraki" (inspired by a tragic story All For One admired) reflected his twisted mentorship.

Broader Context of His Actions

While posing as the family friend, All For One was simultaneously engaged in other schemes to expand his influence and pursue his obsession with acquiring One For All. His actions during this period align with his lifelong pattern of manipulation, Quirk theft, and cultivating chaos:

Long-Term Obsession with One For All: All For One’s interactions with the Shimura family were part of his broader vendetta against One For All, stemming from his murder of his brother Yoichi, the first user. Knowing Tomura was Nana Shimura’s grandson, he saw him as a tool to erode the willpower of One For All’s users, believing Tomura’s hatred could help him steal the Quirk.

Villain Factory and Experiments: Concurrently, All For One was running the Villain Factory, a secret organization using the Trigger drug to create Instant Villains and Next-Level Villains to test Quirk potentials. He also mentored Number 6, a blank-slate child, shaping him into a potential vessel by giving him the stolen Overclock Quirk. These experiments were part of his contingency plans to create a being rivaling All Might.

Underground Masquerade: All For One organized illegal fighting events like the Underground Masquerade to harvest Quirks, distribute drugs, and test Quirk-boosting substances. His attempt to steal O’Clock’s Overclock Quirk during this event further demonstrates his relentless pursuit of powerful Quirks.

Manipulating Others: He coerced families like the Aoyamas into servitude by granting their son Yuga a Quirk (Navel Laser), using their debt to make Yuga a mole at U.A. High. Similarly, he rescued and attempted to groom Toya Todoroki as another potential vessel, though Toya’s obsession with his father made him uncontrollable.

Analysis of His Role as the Family Friend

All For One’s role as the family friend was a masterclass in psychological manipulation and long-term planning. By infiltrating the Shimura family, he exploited their vulnerabilities to create Tomura Shigaraki, a symbol of fear tailored to his specifications. His actions were not merely cruel but strategic, designed to:

Cultivate Hatred: By engineering Tenko’s tragic circumstances, All For One ensured Tomura’s hatred for heroes and society would grow, making him a perfect candidate to challenge One For All’s legacy.

Maintain Control: Using the family’s hands and psychological manipulation, he suppressed Tomura’s positive emotions, ensuring loyalty and dependence.

Advance His Agenda: The Shimura family was a pawn in his larger game to dominate society and steal One For All, with Tomura as a key piece to erode the Quirk’s willpower.

This period highlights All For One’s ability to blend into society, using his charisma and false benevolence to manipulate those around him while advancing his villainous empire from the shadows.
