Friends, if you want to leave all you need to do is follow me. [...] Yes, I want you to stand by my side in the era of chaos on the horizon. A more perfect demon lord will be born. You will bear witness to the story of how I became the greatest demon lord this world has known.
~ All For One's desire to be a Symbol of Evil.noicon

All For One (in Japanese: オール・フォー・ワン, Ōru Fō Wan), also known as Sensei (in Japanese: 先生, Sensei), is the overarching antagonist of the My Hero Academia franchise. He is the arch-nemesis of the One For All users.

An extremely powerful villain who can steal and transfer Quirks and once ruled Japan as the Symbol of Evil, All For One was killed by All Might in battle five years ago. Revived by right-hand minion Daruma Ujiko, All For One mentored Tomura Shigaraki into becoming his successor and the new leader of the League of Villains. He would ultimately be defeated by All Might for a second time and imprisoned.

Following the war between the heroes and the Paranormal Liberation Front, however, All For One managed to break free from his imprisonment and set out to fully expand his army of villains once more, hijacking Shigaraki's body for himself to achieve his true goal: stealing the "One For All" Quirk from its current user, Izuku Midoriya, so he could become an invincible "demon lord" who rules over and is hated by the world.

During the Final War, All For One lost control of Shigaraki while his original body was heavily injured and nearly killed by Endeavor, forcing him to use a Rewind-like drug that slowly de-aged him in an attempt to buy him some time to get to Shigaraki and possess him again. However, his enemies kept slowing him down and stopping him from reaching his goal, resulting in him regressing his physical form out of existence after facing his final opponent, Katsuki Bakugo.

Later, after Tomura lost a battle of wills against Izuku, All For One's vestige reemerges inside Tomura and attempts to take control of his body once more. He is killed for good through the combined forces of the previous One for All users, Tomura, and Izuku, completely decimated by the last embers of the very thing he desired more than anything.

He is voiced by Akio Ōtsuka in Japanese, who also voiced Big Boss/Venom Snake and Solidus Snake in Metal Gear, Blackbeard in One Piece, Dimple in Mob Psycho 100, Jimmy Crystal in the Japanese dub of Sing 2, and Thorkell in Vinland Saga, and John Swasey (who also voiced Crocodile, Hades, Gendo Ikari, and Hakumen no Mono) in English.

Appearance

In the past, All For One appeared as a normal young man with a notable suit and short, white hair. However, his face is not shown completely.

After his crushing defeat, he appears completely different than before. His face is heavily deformed with scar tissue from his upper lip to the back of his head and neck, resulting in his loss of eyesight. He also has two tubes connected to his throat which allows him to breathe.

When battling the pro heroes and All Might, All For One wore a mask with a skull-like structure that acts as a life support system, which was later revealed to be a prototype. For the final battle, he wears a perfect version of this mask with a smoother metal surface, and a much wider, sleeker collar. He also wears a patterned vest underneath his suit.

Once Endeavor burns his body, All For One proceeds to activate his trump card by using a copy of the Quirk Rewind on himself, reversing all the damage his body had taken and restoring his original appearance for the amount of time he has before being rewound out of existence altogether. As the damage dealt to him stacked up and put the Rewind into overdrive, he regressed in age, from a teen, to a young boy. At the end of the battle, he had regressed to an infant, then a fetus, and lastly, an egg cell, before he vanished completely.

Personality

All For One!! I can't look past what you've done! But you're not some monster beyond all understanding! (All For One: No... stop...) And you're no "Demon Lord"! (All For One: Don't look at me.) All you are... is a lonely man!!
~ Deku calling out All For One for how pathetic and lonely he is during their final confrontation.

All For One is shown to be an ingenious, egomaniacal, manipulative, cunning, malevolent, menacing, sinister, resourceful and reticent villain who keeps his motives vague for most of the story. He can create complex and elaborate plans in a short time and then order Tomura to fulfill them. He is a psychopathic individual with twisted ideals and does whatever it takes to spread his influence across Japan, whether it be through manipulation or exploiting others for the sake of benefiting himself. Because of his sheer power and genius intellect, he is confident in himself and is capable of executing his plans successfully.

He does not believe in justice or morality because he claims they don't adhere to reality. Furthermore, he justifies all of the lives that he's taken as necessary for restoring the broken society that arose when quirks first arrived. But as it is revealed, this was only an act he put to others, as he knows it was not his real goal. All For One, from the moment he was born, viewed the world as his possession and had only sought to take over it as he stripped himself of any humanity and became the ultimate display of human evil itself.

He is also a calm and even-tempered individual, even in the worst situations. He is perfectly fine with dispensing several Nomus for Tomura, and when he discovered that the Nomu designed to kill All Might was taken into custody, he was not angered whatsoever, simply saying that it couldn't be helped. He rarely ever shows his fury, although he loathes All Might for crippling him and taking his powers. When he was defeated by All Might, not only did he show no sign of anger and frustration, but he was happy and assured himself that he won by destroying the meaning of "Symbol of Peace". He was also not angry nor disappointed with Tomura's failure, as he assured him that he will be able to try again with the Vanguard Action Squad at his side.

Despite his power-hungry, ruthless, and manipulative personality, All for One does appear to harbor some form of affection for Tomura. Although he picked him off the streets due to his lineage to Nana Shimura, he still supported him when no one else would, guiding him and constantly lending his support and resources, regardless of the losses that resulted. Even when Tomura failed, All for One assured him that he would try again and mature to be a more successful villain, reaching his hand out and offering his continued assistance.

It appears that his relationship with Tomura isn't truly genuine, however, as All For One would later appear as an illusion in Tomura's memories and attempt to take control of his body, so that he may take back One For All from Izuku Midoriya. All For One didn't show a forced attempt to do so, however, even when Tomura resisted his will and cheered Tomura on when he resisted, even telling Tomura to retreat to let his body heal. Despite this, he would later get another chance and succeed in taking over Tomura's body, intending to use him to free himself from prison. In the end, it seems apparent that All For One sees Tomura as nothing but a pawn for him to control and manipulate, and that those years he spent raising him were essentially for him to gain control of a more powerful body, with no care for Tomura's actual dream.

Despite all of this, however, this could likely be a case of All For One earning the trust of his followers by manipulating them to his side as he had done so in the past, in which Yoichi called him out on it. This becomes more apparent when he allows villains like Muscular to do as they please and yet show no signs of remorse over their recapture, as well as make false promises to those that want to achieve their goals such as Lady Nagant, when in reality, he's merely using them to his liking. This is eventually confirmed, as All For One freely admits that he sees all his followers to be nothing more than disposable pawns, and that's all he ever viewed people. Ever since All for One was born, All for One only cared about making everything in the world his possessions, to the point of naming his brother Yoichi for being his first-ever possession, and any attempt of daring to be more than his object is an instant death sentence. When Yoichi breaks free from his control allying with Kudo and the Third Wielder, All for One murders him in cold blood and has been trying to claim One for All so he can finally control Yoichi by making his quirk his.

Perhaps All For One’s most dangerous trait is his indistinct behavior. While he’s evil, he can easily come across as convincingly genuine and altruistic while hiding his true motives and intentions underneath. This makes him very hard to read, while his great knowledge and insight allow him to effortlessly manipulate others for his own gain. On top of this, All For One appears to have a very strong obsession with obtaining his brother Yoichi's Quirk, One For All, and in addition, all the Quirks he can get his hands on. This is shown by himself admitting to having a bad habit of stealing and storing Quirks, even if he has no real need for For One also admitted that once he sees a powerful Quirk, he can't help but want it for himself.

Despite his evil nature, All For One does explain that he frequently sees his victims who he stole Quirks from in his nightmares, where they appear and throw insults and verbal abuse at him. All For One does admit that these dreams tend to leave him feeling discouraged, signifying that he at least possesses an awareness of guilt. At the same time though, he scoffs at the thought of him being capable of such feelings, as it pairs him with ordinary humans who are capable of feeling guilt for their wrongdoings, showing just how highly he views himself, showing how little he values his guilt.

All For One encourages Tomura's hatred, even when the latter begins to despise him for treating him as a vessel, as it is a key factor in allowing them to steal One For All. It is believed that All For One lacks hatred strong enough for said purpose, and is unable to manifest any himself. This is likely due to his extreme psychopathy, and his inability to form strong emotional attachments as he lacks the necessary empathy, and only knows how to exploit the emotions of others for his gain.

The biggest flaw that All For One shows is his own egotism and sadism, constantly undermining and underestimating his opponents during fights, referring to Jiro and Mikoyan as jobber characters he can easily beat to show his strength, leading to him being confused and angry once they stand their ground against him. Along with that, All For One’s unwillingness to train with his quirks and only using them as a crutch ends up costing him dearly, and his drive to crush the hope of his enemies ends up making him lose precious time and gets him distracted. As All for One faces a genuine challenge, he reveals his true colors under his mask of sophistication and brilliant; a mere psychopathic manchild who views the world to be nothing more than his toy, and will throw hissy fits of rage when slighted as he frequently demonstrates in the final battle. This uncontrollable anger results in him losing control over all his quirks and facing death screaming pathetically.

All For One’s full malevolence is revealed when it turns out he convinced Tomura’s father to have another child and stole the boy’s quirk before giving him Decay, leading to the destruction of Tomura’s life. He gleefully mocks Tomura over this revelation, stating he’s never chosen on his own.

After Tomura’s defeat and the loss of One For All, All For One becomes an emotionless, depressed shell of his former self. He views his goal of world domination as hollow and pointless due to Yoichi being gone. Yoichi’s vestige breaking into nothing enables All For One to conclude that tragedy gives birth to strength, a trope he intends to establish. Even when being attacked by multiple desperate Pro Heroes, All For One feels nothing but forlorn annoyance. In his final moments, he was devastated by Izuku's assessment of him as a sad and lonely man, mortified somebody had seen him for the pathetic wretch he always was beneath his "Demon Lord" persona.

Interestingly, All For One's final moments proved unequivocally that he did genuinely love Yoichi, in his own self-absorbed way, when he discovered that Izuku altered the transference attacks to leave parts of the vestiges intact for revival. He begged Yoichi to stay with him and show his face at least one more time, expressing how much he loved him even as Yoichi gently explained that All For One would have to pay for how much he'd used people. Despite All For One's protesting, he continued to treat Yoichi as a possession and paid the price for this perverted form of love, ceasing to exist after him and his brother were mashed together by Izuku, Tomura, and the remaining vestiges.

Abilities

Overall, All For One is an extremely cunning and powerful villain. In his prime, he was able to reduce All Might's usage of One For All by leaving a massive, scarred wound below his chest. Despite his own mortal injuries received in his battle with All Might, he still shows his immense power and strength, as well as high tactical knowledge. He is also capable of going against and taking down other Pro Heroes with relative ease.

Quotes

Kurogiri, you and I may be what the good little citizens and politicians call villains, but what is a villain, really? The term is far too emotionally charged to simply describe a certain class of criminal, wouldn't you say? If that were all, why not just say "quirk criminal" and be done with it? I believe that concept should be defined by a particular relationship between a person's will and their quirk. When that quirk and that will support each other to create a firm bedrock of resolve, well, those people are called heroes. But when an extremely violent will stimulates a quirk into running amok, or on the flip side, when an unruly quirk twists a person's will to its own ends, that disparity creates a dangerous imbalance. Unstable characters like that deviate from their pigeonholes in society and threaten to destroy the entire framework. As such, that sort of logical evil or enemy of society is shunned and scorned as a villain. Basically, forcing a person's quirk to rage out of control or otherwise flipping their quirks around destroys that balance, letting me turn anyone into a villain.
~ All For One explaining what a villain is in society.
Thank you truly, for this amusing farce.
~ All For One before killing Nana Shimura.
I hope you're celebrating while you can All Might. Because very soon, this temporary peace will come to a violent end.
~ All For One's debut.
You've failed again, Tomura. But you mustn't lose heart. There will be more chances to set things right. That's why I've brought along your little band. And the boy... because you determined that he is an important pawn. So go and try again. That's what I'm here to help you to do. It's... all... for you.
~ All For One to Tomura Shigaraki.
You have so much in common with Nana Shimura. The utter waste of a human who passed One For All on to you. A woman with no skill and grand ideas she couldn't live up to. How embarrassing for me, the creator of One For All to see her wield the power. And the way she died was so pathetic.
~ All For One provoking All Might
You know All Might, as much as you hate me, I think I probably loathe you more. I killed your master, sure, but you took away so much from me. Everything I tried to build. That's why I want you to suffer until your last breath and to die broken in disgrace FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE! I will obliterate everything that you've protected!
~ All For One stating his hatred for All Might.
Well well, that's strange All Might. Where is your smile now? How very entertaining. I believe I've taken a piece of you after all.
~ All For One taunting All Might.
How pointless. Let's stop dwelling on heroism and start focusing on reality...the shock waves until now were simply to wear you out. I knew it would take much more than that to kill you. In order to put you down for good, I'll punch you with the ultimate combination of Quirks I have stored up within me right now. This will end you.
~ All For One preparing to kill All Might.
Izuku Midoriya, he's the child you've passed One For All too isn't he? I bet he came here without your asking. You have no control over him, do you? It sounds it though you'll die full of regrets All Might. As a hero and as a teacher.
~ All For One mocking All Might before punching him.
We are the same though you'd never admit it. Just as you longed to become the hero of justice. I longed to be an all-powerful devil.
~ All For One talking to All Might after being imprisoned.
You... stay in there! Don't be like that, Tomura... Besides I clearly had to lend you my strength. You nearly burned to cinders, and even after surviving that, you would have plummeted to your death.
~ All For One wrestling with Tomura for control within his mind.
Heart is power... and the more fiercely he embraces that source in his heart, the more my consciousness takes hold in our little symbiotic relationship. Never let that hatred die, Tomura.
~ All For One taking control of Tomura's body.
Why do they assume tomorrow will come for them? No, I won't grant them a moment's rest. Because it's my turn now, and my turn will never end. Hear me, my tireless Nomu. It's time to free my real body.
~ All For One ordering his Nomu to invade Tartarus
All For One: You spat upon the world that didn't so much as extend you a helping hand... and you desired the strength to make good on your hatred. This is a result of your powerful will. You brought this all about, and isn't that what really matters?
Tomura: I won't be your stinkin' pawn!
All For One: Pawn? You have it all wrong, Tomura! You're so very near and dear to me... after all, you're the next me.
~ All For One talks about his villainous ambition for Tomura.
The soul is far too fickle, which is why I added a failure clause to your contract. To the very end, you were just a tool to be used. Curse your blessing of a Quirk, if you must. Alas, the hapless, woeful Lady Nagant...
~ All For One betraying Lady Nagant.
Did you enjoy your Q&A session with Lady Nagant? Well, Izuku Midoriya? Because if you're seeing this message, that must have been what happened. You see, I love predicting and reading people. And a boy like you... could never outright abandon someone like her, yes? I didn't force her, you know. She acted on her own free will. But those poor souls who stumble on the road of life are labeled villains. People go on about preaching the merits of individualism... but ours is a regimented society under tight control. One where the wrong sort of individuality gets you ostracized. Purged. Democracy? Socialism? Doesn't matter. There are no exceptions because the root of all this predates the concept of human society altogether. It's the principle that governs all social organisms. The path you've chosen is a thorny one. Every battle grinds away at your soul with no end in sight. Can you guess who was on my mind the entire time I was in jail? You. All Might no longer interests me. I've moved on from that great useless oaf. Now, it's your turn!
~ All For One's message to Izuku.
All For One: As originally planned, you were intended to become me entirely after two months of recuperation. But what a firecracker you are, Tomura. Your sheer hatred! Your drive for destruction! The doctor and I had our expectations, and you rose up to blow them away! Percentage-wise, I'd say 97? Perhaps 98? No longer All For One... nor Tomura Shigaraki... We now meld into a new person altogether!
Tomura: Nooo!
All For One: Not in favor, are you? Well, I sure am!! Do you detest me?! Let that rage flow! Your hatred delivers us to our glorious future! It began in that house... with a grain of hate... that grew and built upon itself.
~ All For One reveals his plan to merge with Tomura's body.
Splitting us up to divide and conquer... a fine plan, I suppose. That is... if you were actually hoping for a shot at victory. The sharp decline in the Hero population meant dividing our forces was a necessity. Fair enough, but you’re a cruel man, Endeavor. Pitting One For All against Tomura is a deadly knife’s edge to dance upon. But the most brutal part of this little scheme has to be... you forcing your youngest to clean up your own mess, no matter how much it pains him. And the unceasing abuse toward your eldest child!
~ All For One taunting Endeavor and mocking the Heroes’ strategy during the Final War.
What does that face imply? Affection? Grief? You refused to take a good look at Toya, foisting the task onto little Shoto instead! That must’ve been your decision, right?! And you justify that choice by being here?! “Heroes just have sooo much to protect,” right? This is why you lose, Number One!
~ All For One’s mind games to Endeavor after Shoto defeated Dabi.
The pesky gnats that swarm about One For All... in the old comic I used to read, there were “jobber” characters who only existed so the Demon Lord could show what he was made of.
~ All For One to Kyoka Jiro and Fumikage Tokoyami.
You children just happened to be paired off with these big shots. Yet you imagine yourselves special somehow? Worthy of facing the Demon Lord himself?
~ All For One mocking Jiro and Tokoyami.
Did you really think... I’d casually saunter up to the big finale empty-handed? This body had already served it’s purpose, and it was destined for the scrap heap anyway... so why not try this out? Heroes don’t have a monopoly on big sacrificial moments, you know?
~ All For One employing his last resort after being burned alive by Endeavor.
Heroes are ones who defend while villains violate. Behold, as we plunge headlong toward our dreams!!
~ All For One after rewinding his body back to his prime.
All For One: This bit of rewinding will be the end of me. I’m ultimately doomed to vanish now. But my dream will live on as I pass the baton to Tomura Shigaraki. The only task left for me is to rescue him from your brazen trap, so if you don’t mind...
Hawks: Your dream, huh? Something beyond stealing One For All? Mind filling me in, for future reference?
All For One: It’s simple. I’m quite influenced by comics. The world always fears the big bad villain. Why do you think that is?
Hawks: Cuz he does bad stuff?
All For One: And what counts as bad stuff? In a world teeming with myriad cultures and values, “bad stuff” would be an act that universally makes the masses turn their noses up in disgust. An act which thwarts the future they envision. So I intend to thwart the future of the entire world. That’s all I’ve ever wished for.
~ All For One explaining his beliefs to Hawks.
So late in the game, you still think you’ll somehow emerge from this? Even without the one man who can stand up to me? That’s not bravery... you are just ignorant of my Golden Age. As the generation that, from a young age, witnessed All Might’s rise! And the next, that only ever knew a world where he reigned supreme! Ignorant of the era where all trembled in fear of something imperceptible, lurking unseen in the dark. When all were tainted by suspicion, resentment, exploitation, and prejudice during my Golden Dark Age!
~ All For One praising himself as he attacks all the Pro Heroes coming his way.
Look there. A news chopper. Yes, let people witness this carnage and lose faith in you all over again. You Heroes couldn’t protect a thing.
~ All For One to Hawks after defeating all the Pro Heroes at Gunga Mountain.
'
YOU’RE TO BLAME FOR IT ALL, KUDO!!!
~ All For One in his wrathful villainous breakdown towards Katsuki Bakugou.
The negatives in life tend to stick in one's memory for so very long. This is why I thwart the futures of others. Yoichi...I...want everyone’s eyes on me...forever.
~ All For One explaining his goal during his final moments.
I let my emotions get the better of me. That's not like me at all!! NO. NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO! HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!HATE!
~ All For One's final villainous breakdown and his last words as he succumbs to his quirk reaching his limit, reflecting upon his mistakes.
Such a foolish vessel! Losing in a battle of wills to some kid? To this absolute nobody? Striving for strength, yet so invariably weak! Tenko Shimura, you pathetic imbecile...not once in your pitiful life has any choice been your own!
~ All For One’s vestige rising back into control after Tomura’s defeat in the vestige world at the hands of Izuku Midoriya.
All For One: Foolish Tenko Shimura...such a pure, credulous superego...a soft simpleton unable to relinquish his cretinous life! Benefiting from my guidance every step of the way, yet amounting to nothing!
Tomura: I don’t get what you’re talking about, master.
All For One: As I mentioned, not a single one of your choices has been your own.
Tomura: I did choose... I made those decisions...
All For One: Yes, I had to make you think that, or else your strength of will would have been stunted. It was crucial to twist around your illusion of free will.
~ All For One berating Tomura.
I removed the yet-unknown Quirk factor passed down by your parents. I encouraged your father’s strict ways. I gave you something to aspire to. And I bided my time. It was sourced from a Quirk at one of the good doctor’s facilities. We stripped away half of it-the ability to reverse it’s effects, leaving an incomplete, subpar copy, engineered solely to promote destruction. The very Quirk I granted you.
~ All For One revealing he has controlled all of Tomura’s life since his birth.
The tragedy. The ordeals. The rejection. The validation. All granted by me. ALL THAT YOU ARE! You speak of your “unwavering heart”?! Nonsense! For shame! Begone from my body!
~ All For One deleting Tomura’s soul, seemingly killing his vessel.
No!! I won't allow it!! I love you! I love you like no other!! I'm hopeless without you! I'm nothing!!
~ All For One's final words to his brother before his spirit is destroyed for good by Tomura and the One For All users.
