What Can We Expect from MHA Final Season Episode 1?
As the battle between heroes and villains escalates, this episode is packed with excitement. The title and previews emphasize Armored All Might’s intense fight against All For One. The official synopsis of Episode 1 reads: “The fierce battle between Armored All Might and All For One continues. All Might is slowly being cornered, but does he have a chance of winning? Meanwhile, Aoyama and the others struggle with Kunieda’s brutal quirk.”

Besides All Might’s colossal struggle, audiences will also witness Aoyama and his allies face off against Kunieda, a psychopathic serial killer. This chapter will not only determine the fate of Japan but potentially the entire globe as well.
