My Hero Academia368 set the stage for Deku’s fight against Shigaraki Tomura, who is currently being controlled by none other than All For One, after having fused with his body. The previous chapter saw the beginning of this incredible fight after a very long wait for Izuku on both the fans' and the Heroes' part and the upcoming chapter,My Hero Academia369, will only carry it further.

Sadly, All For One has currently established a strong hold on his body, and to be given a chance to talk to Shigaraki, Deku must first deal with the threat at hand, whichMy Hero Academia 369will certainly tackle.
My Hero Academia 369: The One For At Full Power
The previous chapter ofMy Hero Academiasaw the One For All being used at a much higher potential. Deku finally managed to tap into the power of Gearshift Overdrive, which is the ability of the second user of the One For All. As fans know,this meta ability was stored within One For Alland, with time, it had only gotten stronger. Deku barely used it once in the previous chapter andMy Hero Academia369 will focus a lot more on it. Fans will likely see Deku pummel All For One a bit more to demonstrate what else this Quirk can do.
However, it must be remembered that All For One has alreadyfought against this Quirk in the pastand, thus, knows exactly how it works and how to counter it. This is evident from the fact that he could recognize this ability while Deku was using it. Fans could very well see All For Onecounter Gearshift Overdriveand fight more evenly against Deku. That said, the ball will still be in Deku’s court as not only is he fresh into combat, but Shigaraki’s internal struggle will also take a toll on him as the fight drags on.
My Hero Academia 369: All For One’s Retaliation
My Hero Academiachapter 369is most likely going to give All For One a bit more to do than in the previous chapter. The majority of the action in the previous chapter wasDeku landing consecutive attackson his enemy. All For One, on the other hand, did not get to do much. In the next chapter, fans are likely to see him adapt to Deku’s new power. Fans have already seen All For One’s frightening abilities and to make this fight a grand spectacle, he will have to put in more work than he did in the previous chapter. Needless to say, the fight needs to be intriguing and that requires him to do better.

Fans will likely see All For One fight on an equal footing against Deku in the upcoming chapter. With his many Quirk combinations, he can potentially counter some of Deku’s abilities. By doing so, All For One can once again establish the upper hand in the battle. It must also be noted that the other All For One, who just returned to his prime, could also spring into action soon and help Shigaraki. In that case, things certainly wouldn’t look too good for Deku. In any case, All For One is expected to do much more inMy Hero Academia 369.
My Hero Academia 369: The Fight For Shigaraki
As things stand, Shigaraki Tomura is still asleep and cannot fight off All For One as he has done on a few occasions in the past. As All For One mentioned in the previous chapter, he is completely in control at the moment. However, Mirio noted that Shigaraki’s voice hasn’t fully been snuffed out just yet. Fans might see this plot point being explored a bit more inMy Hero Academia369. As the fight prolongs, All For One will most likely start to weaken and, once that happens, Shigaraki might start to fight back. While it might not necessarily happen immediately in the next chapter, the basis for it has already been laid and the next chapter could explore this further.
For now, Deku’s plan is to weaken All for one to appoint where he can hold an earnest conversation with Shigaraki. Fans know already thatDeku wants to save himas he made it clear towards the end of the Paranormal Liberation War arc and, after talking to him, Shigaraki’s redemption arc might finally begin. For now, the battle rages on in the Final War Arc of My Hero Academia and all focus is set to remain on the fated battle of the two brothers.
