Horikoshi watched Infinity War and thought Iron Man busting out all the stops for a single drop of blood and was like "gently caress yeah dude that owns, actually."

All Might owns. Stain owns. All for One actually is the goddamn shining baby?! Holy crap what a great chapter. Is this the best fight in MHA?

Thinking about it, there's no way he's the Shining Baby. He probably just stole its quirk because stealing the first quirk is exactly the kind of insanely narcissistic thing he'd do.

I really like that cutaway to a kid in another country that doesn't know that's All Might and doesn't really understand the situation, but is still inspired to cheer him on.

If AFO is supposed to be the glowing baby, this just slightly below the wet fart of a reveal that was Compress. That aside, we have the heroic team-up of All Might and a serial killer fighting an evil baby on live television, so that's something.

I could have done without seeing naked Hagakure (though I guess this is the most we’ve seen of her true form in the manga so far, not sure why her quirk suddenly failed her though) but the All Might stuff was good

her actual quirk is manipulating light, she just has a normally invisible body because she’s a living prism, but also like other people mentioned Hoshikori horny.

I thought from the start that Stain was gonna be part of Deku's fight, but it actually makes more sense this way, and I'm very glad. Good poo poo.

Manga quietly ends after this fight never panning back to Shiggy & Deku. Their fate is answered in a tweet 3 months later.

Bakugo being dead for over a year and not influencing the story in the slightest is still hilarious.

Stain saving the day out of no where is super hype. We finally have the All Might Stain teamup.

I don't think he's the shining baby, I do think though, the first power he took, was the shining baby's.

My name is All for One. I was an international racecar driver. One day, a baby carriage rolled onto the track so I swerved into the retaining wall to avoid it. The car burst into flames, but the baby miraculously survived. I was that baby.

Knowing AFO, he was also the carriage and the wall somehow.

What if it's that the shining baby's quirk is the source of all quirks, or maybe the source of quirks progressing, and AfO stole it because if the baby had died quirks would've disappeared or died out, so he took it and this is part of why he's obsessed with immortality?

I feel like there have been plenty of stories where we've seen that destroying the settings unique defining feature in the finale turns out to be a terrible idea.

Yeah that's why I put the "progression" caveat in because it'd address the Quirk Singularity subplot while not completely removing quirks from the universe.

So essentially it'd be more that GlowBaby's quirk makes quirks, in general, progressively stronger just by existing, and AfO in his lust for power wants quirks to continue getting stronger and stronger no matter the cost so he steals GlowBaby's quirk before he can die of natural causes or whatever.

Also I don't think quirks can ever be fully removed from the setting since so many people have quirks tied into their physical attributes.

It turns out that AfO was the coolest guy all along...he just wanted to preserve everyone's quirks
