My Hero Academia is busy these days. With a new movie in theaters, the IP is still moving through its seventh season, and all eyes are on Deku as such. The hero is working harder than ever to defeat Shigaraki and All For One, after all. Having learned from All Might, Izuku is going further beyond to see his dream realized, and he is doing things that All Might never could. And thanks to a new interview, the creator of Kohei Horikoshi is unpacking new info about the Symbol of Peace’s most recent fight with All For One.
The update comes from Kohei Horikoshi himself as he did an interview to help promote My Hero Academia: You’re Next. The interview, which was done with the musician Vaundy, details plenty of info about the series’ creation. It was there Horikoshi talked about All Might’s showdown with All For One after the Summer Training Camp arc, and it turns out that fight was originally intended to happen further into the series.
According to Horikoshi, he put more effort into All Might vs All For One than anything else in My Hero Academia up to that point. Kamino Ward was given close attention as My Hero Academia experienced a dip in ratings at that time. Determined to keep the series alive, Horikoshi wanted to boost interest in the manga, and he felt All Might vs All For One would do the trick. The artist always intended the pair to fight one-on-one, but Horikoshi originally thought he would push the battle out further into the series. But when the manga’s ratings began to drop, the artist felt it was time to streamline the battle.
