My Hero Academia chapter 423 marked the end of AFO as well as the quirk, One For All. Although the chapter officially concluded the last arc, it also revealed a particular detail about Deku wanting to complete One For All in a proper way.

Yoichi's words were mostly meant for AFO to provide him with a few moments of salvation. But his words mentioning a complete One For All have managed to spark theories around the possibility of Deku having this quirk in its final version.

My Hero Academia chapter 423: Deku will be the final user of One For All

One For All and all its mysteries have been a significant part of the story ever since the reveal that it could store several other quirks. In later chapters of the manga, it was unveiled that All For One had an odd fixation on his brother, which led him to forcibly give Yoichi a stockpiling quirk.

This stockpiling quirk later merged with Yoichi's dormant transferring quirk and gave rise to One For All. Yoichi's own resolve and his feelings towards justice gave rise to the qualities of One For All that prevented it from being stolen away. Although this quirk had seven vestiges inside it, its core originated from Yoichi himself.

In the final moments of the All For One vs. One For All fight, Deku transferred the latter to the former, which eventually led to his body breaking down. During this time, All For One met a vestige of Yoichi and shared cryptic dialogues with him. Although it was supposed to signify the last few moments of salvation for All For One, Yoichi also mentioned Deku wanting to complete the One For All quirk.

This marked the reunion between Yoichi and All For One and the deaths of both of them. It might also mean that Deku will acquire the last and final version of One For All after chapter 423.

Deku acquiring a new quirk or the final version of One For All will be in line with the current ongoing plotlines since Deku should be the greatest hero, as mentioned at the very beginning of the story.

Deku might end up awakening his actual quirk that had been lying dormant until now, as indicated by many fan theories. Otherwise, it is also possible that One For All will reach its final form and make Deku its final user.

It is almost guaranteed that One For All will no longer be passed down the generations since its original purpose has been already fulfilled. Passing it down will only feed into the quirk singularity theory.

My Hero Academia chapter 423 concluded the series. The following chapters will serve as epilogues to provide closure for readers. Deku gaining the completed One For All might not happen, marking this as possibly Deku's last hero adventure.
