AFO, Shigaraki, and 22 other My Hero Academia villains: How their stories conclude by the end of the series
1) All For One (AFO)
Status: Deceased
AFO stands as the greatest antagonist among all the My Hero Academia villains. The self-proclaimed Demon Lord has faced numerous defeats, including significant losses against All Might and later against Bakugo. Despite being on the brink of demise multiple times, he returns to confront Deku in the final war, serving as the ultimate adversary.
In the climactic final battle, Deku, civilians including Eri and the evacuees at UA, and Shigaraki himself, defeat AFO. As a result, AFO meets his end by the conclusion of the series.
2) Tomura Shigaraki (Tenko Shimura)
Status: Deceased
Although Tenko Shimura becomes one of the greatest My Hero Academia villains, later infamous as the symbol of fear, Tomura Shigaraki is ultimately a tragic victim of circumstances. AFO’s manipulation sets off a chain of events that leads Shigaraki down the villainous path.
In his final battle against Deku, the hero manages to break his wall of hatred as he opens up to his arch-enemy. Later, his vestige aids Deku in defeating AFO (in Shigaraki’s body) for good, causing his body to crumble away into ashes. Thus, Tomura Shigaraki dies by the end of the story.
All Might later surmises that while Tomura's life couldn't be saved, Deku redeemed his soul by shattering his hatred, allowing him to find peace in his final moments.
3) Dabi (Toya Todoroki)
Status: Deceased (hinted)
Endeavor’s eldest son, Toya Todoroki, becomes one of the most infamous My Hero Academia villains, Dabi. During the final war, Dabi attempts to self-destruct, intending to take down Endeavor and his family along with him.
He begins to explode, but Shoto intervenes with his Great Glacial Aegir, extinguishing Dabi’s inferno. Post-final war, Dabi survives but his body is left in a fragile state due to the injuries.
He is kept in a holding facility under treatment that maintains his slowly dying body. After the eight-year time skip, nothing is mentioned about Dabi. However, given that his days were already numbered after the war, it is likely that he has died.
4) Himiko Toga
Status: Deceased
Himiko Toga is one of the most debated and conflicted characters among the My Hero Academia villains, and her final action further adds to it. The epilogue arc confirms Toga's death in a contentious manner.
Following her intense battle with Ochako during the final war, Toga still sacrifices herself to save Ochako’s life. She gives Ochako a blood transfusion, as Ochako has lost a significant amount of blood. However, Toga's ultimate sacrifice is not captured and remains unseen by the rest of the world.
This conclusion, perceived by many as unfair and unsatisfactory, has sparked debates among fans regarding Horikoshi's decision to end Toga and Ochako’s story in such a manner.
5) Twice (Jin Bubaigawara)
Status: Deceased
Jin Bubaigawara, better known by his villain name Twice, is a key member of the League of Villains. He plays a pivotal role throughout the series, particularly during the Meta Liberation Army Arc and the Paranormal Liberation War Arc.
However, Twice's journey is cut short early at the beginning of Paranormal Liberation War Arc when Hawks eliminates him during the Gunga Villa raid to prevent him from aiding the villains with his formidable quirk.
Although Twice meets his end long before the final war, his quirk remains a significant factor as Toga later uses it during her fight with Ochako and others. Despite his early death, Twice remains among the most impactful My Hero Academia villains.
6) Kurogiri
Status: Deceased
Kurogiri was a Nomu created by Dr. Garaki under AFO's orders using the corpse of Oboro Shirakumo. Tasked with aiding and protecting Shigaraki, Kurogiri's warp quirk proved invaluable to the League of Villains. Despite being a villain, traces of Shirakumo's personality persisted within Kurogiri.
Aizawa and Present Mic managed to connect with the remnants of Shirakumo during the final battle and use Kurogiri’s quirk to assist the heroes. However, this took a heavy toll on his body. In a final effort to protect Shigaraki from Deku's attack, Kurogiri sacrificed himself, though Bakugo ultimately thwarted his attempt, leading to Kurogiri's demise. Kurogiri's end brings a semblance of closure to Aizawa and Present Mic, who were grieving the death of their friend Oboro Shirakumo.
7) Spinner (Shuichi Iguchi)
Status: Alive/Arrested
Shuichi Iguchi, aka Spinner, is one of the few League of Villains members who survive by the end of the series. As a heteromorph inspired by Stain’s ideology, Spinner played a key role in leading the heteromorph rebellion during the final war.
After Shoji and Present Mic defeated Spinner, he was arrested and imprisoned. Post-final war, Spinner wrote a book about the League and its leader, Shigaraki, his dear friend, to honor his memory and ensure their legacy is remembered.
8) Mr. Compress (Atsuhiro Sako)
Status: Alive/Arrested
Atsuhiro Sako, better known as Mr. Compress, is one of the few core members of the League of Villains who survives by the end of the story. His journey as the villain, concluded before the final war, as he sacrificed himself to help Shigaraki/AFO escape at the end of the Paranormal Liberation War.
After Mirio knocked him out, Mr. Compress was apprehended and imprisoned. In the final chapter 430, he appears in a panel reading Spinner's book on Shigaraki and the League.
9) Gigantomachia (also called "Machia" for short)
Status: Deceased
Gigantomachia, one of AFO's most loyal servants and former bodyguard, stands as one of the most formidable My Hero Academia villains. Throughout the series, he faithfully carries out AFO's orders, occasionally assisting Shigaraki and the League.
During the final war, the heroes manage to take control of Machia using Shinso's Brainwashing, using him to fight AFO. However, in chapter 385, AFO, restored to his prime with Eri’s quirk, obliterates Machia's entire body in a single massive lightning blast, ending his life.
10) Overhaul (Kai Chisaki)
Status: Alive/Arrested
Kai Chisaki, aka Overhaul, is the main antagonist of the Shie Hassaikai Arc. As the former leader of the now-disbanded Yakuza group Shie Hassaikai, Chisaki is notorious for cruelly treating Eri, making him one of the most reviled villains in My Hero Academia.
After Deku defeats Chisaki, he’s arrested, and Shigaraki and the League sever his arms, leaving him powerless. He briefly appears during the Dark Hero Arc. Following the final war, the former boss of Shie Hassaikai visits Chisaki in prison, urging him to seek redemption for his past sins.
11) Stain (Chizome Akaguro)
Status: Deceased
Chizome Akaguro, infamous by his villain name, Hero Killer: Stain, is among the most impactful My Hero Academia villains. Despite his notorious reputation, Stain ultimately sides with the heroes in the final war, aiding All Might in his last battle against AFO during the Mecha All Might vs. AFO showdown.
He meets his end in the same fight, where AFO kills him and steals his quirk, Bloodcurdle. His final words were telling All Might to live on and triumph.
12) Gentle (Danjuro Tobita) and La Brava (Manami Aiba)
Status: Alive
Danjuro Tobita, aka Gentle Criminal, and his sidekick, Manami Aiba, aka La Brava, initially serve as the main antagonists in the U.A. School Festival Arc. However, Horikoshi sensei gave these My Hero Academia villains significant character development. In the final war, they side with the heroes.
La Brava reclaims U.A.'s hacked systems from Skeptic. Gentle prevents a prison break and helps keep the Coffin in the Sky afloat during the battle against Shigaraki(AFO). By the series' end, they open a cyber company, GEL Inc., which continues to assist the heroes. They are hinted to be engaged in the 8-year time skip.

Status: Alive
Kaina Tsutsumi, also known by her alias Lady Nagant, plays a pivotal role during the Dark Hero Arc. Her redemption arc starts after her confrontation with Deku.
