With Shigaraki saying his final words before turning to dust, as per chapter 423's alleged spoilers, he is dead. However, it is not confirmed what the next part of the series will cover as My Hero Academia hasn't announced a date for its climax chapter.

This is a tradition in the manga industry. Before an author puts pen to paper on a series, a final chapter is announced, which this manga hasn't, so it is unknown whether the villain could return in the future.

According to My Hero Academia chapter 423's alleged spoilers, the chapter commenced with All for One realizing that all of his quirks (stolen ones) were not working properly, due to which Deku easily snuck on him. On the other hand, the villain's mental state was getting worse by the passing moment, as he kept remembering the death of his brother, the first vestige of One for All, Yoichi.

All for One was worried about his survival, so he considered transferring the All for One quirk to another body. He jumped towards Deku to transfer AFO but was blocked by Shirakuma (Kurogiri), who demanded that the villain return Shigaraki's body as his friends were waiting for him.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Bakugo appeared and pushed Deku towards the villain. With a last punch, Deku transferred the last embers of One for All into TomurAFO's body, freeing Shigaraki and all the One for All vestiges. As per the alleged spoilers, Shigaraki joined Deku in beating All for One as the vestige disappeared.

With the demise of the true evil, Shigaraki requested Deku to tell Spinner that the villain continued to destroy everything until the very end. Deku replied that he only destroyed what was needed for the best of the world. After this, Shigaraki's weak body crumbled and turned to dust as the rain finally stopped on the battlefield.

As per chapter 423's alleged spoilers, Tomura Shigaraki is dead, as his body crumbled right before Deku. But with the series still away from its possible climax, nothing can be said about whether the manga will see Shigaraki's return.
