The latest chapter of My Hero Academia, titled “Izuku Midoriya: Rising,” sees the protagonist giving his all to confront All For One, hinting at another character, Tenko Shimura, potentially having a similar pivotal moment soon.
Tenko Shimura, known as Shigaraki, has a compelling backstory: originally a child named Tenko Shimura, was tragically manipulated by All For One into becoming a ruthless villain.
Fans speculate that Tenko Shimura might step up in the series’ climax, a role usually expected of Shigaraki. The theory suggests that Tenko, the original persona, could reassert control during the final battle, challenging All For One directly.

This would tie into earlier hints in the series that Shigaraki is a persona created by Tenko due to trauma. Now, as All For One’s manipulations come to light, Tenko might reclaim agency over his own destiny.
The idea is that Tenko could confront All For One, possibly assisted by the vestiges within him, like his grandmother Nana Shimura. This could lead to a pivotal moment where Tenko rejects his villainous persona and embraces his desire to be a hero, possibly even redeeming himself.
All For One’s planned orchestration of Shigaraki’s life could be a key point of conflict in this narrative, with Tenko unraveling the schemes set against him.
The legacy of Tomura Shigaraki is anticipated to be controversial. Initially positioned as the series’ main antagonist, the character’s development took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that he was a pawn in All For One’s grand design. This twist has led to speculation among fans about a potential redemption arc for Shigaraki, especially given All For One’s recent comments in the manga.
My Hero Academia could be setting up Tenko Shimura for a momentous role. This would involve him confronting All For One, breaking free of his villainous identity, and possibly redeeming himself as a hero. However, these are merely fan theories at this stage, and the story’s direction remains to be seen in upcoming chapters.
