My Hero Academia Episode 164: History`s Greatest Villain

Season 8· canon

The balance of power shifts between Izuku and Shigaraki when the latter steals a Quirk from One For All.

Full recap

A fierce battle continues between Deku and Tomura Shigaraki, but the fight suddenly shifts when Shigaraki steals one of Deku’s One For All abilities, forcing Deku and the vestiges inside One For All to rethink their approach.

Inside the battle of wills and powers, the previous users of One For All discuss Shigaraki’s danger and the possibility that he may still be saved, even as the physical fight grows more desperate.

As the conflict escalates, Kudo proposes a dangerous plan: the One For All quirks will be passed to Shigaraki one by one in an attempt to break through his hardened mental barriers from the inside.

The episode also includes flashbacks that explain how this strategy comes together, showing the earlier discussion among the vestiges and the reasoning behind their decision.

By the end of the episode, the situation has become far more dangerous for Deku, with the balance of power shifting heavily after Shigaraki’s theft and the vestiges committing to their risky plan.
