My Hero Academia: Armored All Might, Explained

Between All Might and All For One, there is a long-standing relationship marked by battles that have left lasting scars on both. They’ve engaged in numerous confrontations, with each bearing injuries inflicted by the other. Among all the vestiges, All Might was the only one capable of challenging All For One and even defeating him. However, there were instances where All For One emerged victorious, forcing All Might to flee to the United States as we learned in the previous chapter. With time and mastery over the One For All power, All Might grew significantly stronger, reaching a level that could bring an end to All For One’s tyranny. Their final confrontation left All Might severely wounded, compelling him to pass on his Quirk to another. Eventually, their paths crossed one last time in Kamino, where All Might used the remnants of his power to vanquish All For One permanently, or so he believed.

Unaware of All For One’s hidden intentions, he would find himself regaining strength beyond measure. When the Great War erupted, and All For One seemed invincible, All Might felt compelled to settle their long-standing feud once and for all. He is the one who has been tasked with this mission, and undeniably, he will bring an end to this confrontation decisively. This is where readers currently find themselves in the story as All Might, now without a Quirk, stands defiantly against his adversary, eager for battle. In My Hero Academia chapter 396, the long-awaited fight finally commenced and it certainly did not disappoint.

The Creation Of Armored All Might

All Might’s Newest Power

Fans had been eagerly anticipating the weapon All Might would use against All For One for a long time. It was clear that All Might wouldn’t be able to fight All For One if he didn’t have any weapons, given that he no longer possesses his Quirk and this significantly weakens him. Most fans speculated that he would be using Hero Equipment in battle. In the last chapter, it was almost certain that All Might was indeed utilizing Hero Equipment against All For One. He activated this power by smashing open his briefcase, and then his entire body was covered with an iron suit. All Might refers to this transformation as Armored All Might.

It’s plausible that the development of this combat suit traces back to when All Might was in the U.S., where he forged a strong relationship with Dave Shield. Over time, this bond extended to Melissa Shield as well. Together, they collaborated on designing this remarkable armor tailored for All Might, which he now employs in his battles against All For One. There’s no doubt that this armor significantly boosts his physical abilities, enabling him to match up effortlessly against the strongest opponents of all time.

All Might’s Last Chance Against All For One

Undeniably, the armored version of All Might is extraordinarily powerful. Firstly, his intimidating presence in battle is undeniable. Alongside him is his car, Hercules, which doubles as a formidable weapon. During an attack by All For One using a destructive technique that could flatten buildings, All Might used his car as a shield, absorbing most of the damage. The shield took 66% damage, yet it remained remarkably resilient. From that moment on, Armored All Might demonstrated the full extent of his abilities, and it’s safe to say they were truly amazing.

It appears that Armored All Might seems to draw power from his students’ Quirks during battles, as evidenced by the abilities he exhibits. For example, he utilizes Blackwhip (belonging to Deku), electrical powers (Denki), Cellophane (Sero), and Shoot Style Smash (Deku’s signature ability). It is fascinating for fans to observe how All Might has integrated his students’ abilities into his battle armor. Even against a stronger All For One, Armored All Might was able to counterattack and even interrupt his healing process with powerful strikes.

All Might Will Give It His Best

Fans haven’t witnessed all of Armored All Might’s capabilities so far. The battle is just heating up and All Might himself has made it clear that he won’t be approaching this fight as a loser. Instead, he’s determined to win, and to achieve that goal, he’ll pour everything he has into defeating All For One. There are definitely more tricks up his sleeve, and fans can look forward to seeing them in the next instalment. Since it’s already known that Armored All Might can utilize his students’ abilities, it’s reasonable to expect that there may be powers he can unleash in upcoming episodes. For instance, he might harness Bakugo’s explosive power since creating those explosions is relatively straightforward.

It is also possible for him to use Acid in combat, which is utilized by Mina Ashido. Furthermore, Shoto Todoroki’s pyrokinetic and cryokinetic powers are also ones that he can likely make use of. Kirishima’s hardness might be another ability that fans will see Armored All Might use in the next few chapters. At the end of it all, Armored All Might is powered by his students and if he does manage to win this clash, much of it will be down to them. Fans utterly love this power-up for All Might and only hope that it lasts long enough to defeat All For One and, this time, for good.
