"My Hero Academia" (MHA) is a story set in a world where many unique abilities exist. In this work, two powers are featured as symbols of justice and evil: 'One For All' and 'All For One'.
Explanation of One For All
'One For All' is a power passed down from one hero to the next. This power greatly enhances the physical abilities of the user, allowing them to exhibit overwhelming power. The protagonist, Izuku Midoriya, inherits this power from the previous hero and fights for justice. However, this power places a significant burden on the user's body, and Midoriya must constantly confront this risk.
One For All is a quirk derived from All For One and has been passed down through many successors. They fight alongside All Might to strive for peace. In particular, episode 11 'One For All' depicts the clash between All Might and his arch-enemy All For One, a battle that has moved many readers.
Explanation of All For One
In contrast, 'All For One' is a power that can steal the quirks of others and make them one's own. The owner of this power has collected various quirks over the years and used them for his own ambitions. This power poses the greatest threat to the heroes.
All For One is considered one of the most powerful quirks in the MHA world, capable of stealing others' quirks and incorporating them into his own. He uses Tomura Shigaraki to unify the League of Villains. However, he himself was a quirkless brother and was given a quirk by Yoichi Shigaraki, which led to the birth of a new quirk, 'One For All'.
The Relationship Between One For All and All For One
'One For All' and 'All For One' not only sound similar but also have a deep connection. These powers symbolize the opposition of justice and evil in the story, and their contrast is one of the central themes of the narrative.
Conclusion
'My Hero Academia' is not just an action anime about heroes; it poses deep questions about good and evil, the use of power, and the nature of individuality. 'One For All' and 'All For One' are powers that symbolize these complex themes, prompting viewers to engage in much contemplation.
