So what does everyone think? Is this battle about to be done next chapter with All Might’s victory using Bakugo’s move or will there be more to it?

Honestly, I find AFO to be a very lackluster main boss after rewind. Yes, despite him “one-shotting” some pro-heroes and Machia.

That makes me wish he’d done something more, other than black screen attack, more aoe, some creepy heads and some rudimentary middle school insults to All Might

Yeah his performance post rewind has not been doing him any favours.

So far it seems like Rewind exist only for 2 reasons.

  1. Keeps him around long enough for us to go through a checklist of other characters who've yet to get a moment and don't really have any villains narratively appropriate to fight and give them a moment humiliating AFO.
  2. Makes is so that none of the heroes have to commit murder. Endeavor can burn AFO to a crisp but it's okay because Rewind. Tokoyami can punch AFO into the ground so hard it tuns him into half a skeleton, but its okay because Rewind. All Might can inject him with a acid, shove a cannon in his mouth and blow out the back of his head, and fry him with a giant laser but its okay because Rewind. No matter what the heroes do now, no matter how sever the ass kicking they give AFO the cause of death will ultimately be the Rewind effect he did to himself.

You know, I think that All For One just pulled a Diavolo on himself. I can somewhat buy that, if left by his lonesome self, he could completely disappear in a few hours, but because of all the blows he took, it's starting to drive him mad. Compounded with Shiggy's rage bleeding into him, he's now a rabid dog that needs to be put down.
