My Hero Academia is currently at its most climactic moment right now in the manga by featuring one of the biggest fights in the series which has a lot at stake for both sides. The latest chapter has also gone all out in terms of the fight against All for One and him trying to reach Shigaraki.
The fans have witnessed nothing short of extraordinary in these chapters, and they have undoubtedly elevated the conclusion of this arc. To get to Shigaraki in time, All For One has unleashed everything within him, and his final move finally exposes the one true reason for his actions and his obsession with One For All.
Not only that, but the chapter has also revealed the truth about All for One’s name in My Hero Academia along with his strongest move, giving fans an entirely different level of excitement for the future of the series. The recent chapters have kept a special focus on All for One which includes his past, his powers, and the origin of his name.
My Hero Academia Chapter 408 Focuses on All For One
My Hero Academia chapter 408 revealed that All For One had given his brother the name Yoichi because he was his first possession in this world. All For One claims that after his brother abandoned him, he was left with no option but to kill him because he believes that everything is his own.
The rest of the chapter reveals that Yoichi has been the target of all of the horrible deeds and manipulations that he has caused over the years. The beginnings of All For One and his strained relationship with Yoichi make sense in the context of All For One’s pursuit of One For All. When it becomes clear that his brother has always been his real motivator, All for One takes on a much more nuanced, psychological tone.
As the flashback ends the story returns to the fight between All for One and Bakugo and All for One tries to achieve his goal of reaching Shigaraki and transfer with him. To do this he unleashes his best move which also gives the context behind his name in the series.

My Hero Academia Reveals Meaning Behind All for One’s Name
All For One makes a desperate attempt to move toward Shigaraki in chapter 408 before his body fully retracts, letting go of all his stolen quirks. The villain uses his “All For One Goal” move as his final resort to fulfill his only wish to possess Yoichi through One For All. This move reveals the true meaning of the name All For One.
All For One’s name’s true meaning represents the desire he holds to capture Yoichi as he is his possession and the only one that got out of his grasp. The name and the final ability that he uses are similar as they unleash the full power of his quirk, releasing every single ability that he possesses.
The plan is to eliminate everything in his path and then, when Tomura approaches, force a swift transfer. This is an extremely risky tactic, but it only serves to highlight his desperation and sense of helplessness.
