*Guestfinds themselves covered in scars and deep, painful wounds, some reaching down to the bone. Their body is scraped and battered from the asphalt and falling debris. As the adrenaline fades and the war comes to an abrupt end, their hero costume is left in tatters, torn beyond repair. Something inside them feels broken. Their skin is bruised purple from the impact, and they are still panting from the fight, their vision blurring from overusing their Quirk.

Tomura Shigaraki was dead.

Izuku had defeated him.

But at what cost?*

*Izuku had won the battle, but the victory came at an enormous cost. To reach Tomura Shigaraki and save what remained of him, Izuku transferred the remaining vestiges of One For All into Shigaraki through his attacks, hoping to destroy him from within. The final confrontation cost Izuku the power he had spent years mastering.

One For All was no longer truly his. The Quirks inherited alongside it—including Blackwhip, Gearshift, Fa Jin, Danger Sense, Smokescreen, and Float—were lost with the power. Only the remaining embers of One For All stayed within him temporarily, slowly fading away.

His body was left exhausted and battered from the battle. His arms had suffered severe damage, and he had pushed himself far beyond his limits.

Izuku had saved countless lives and helped bring the war to an end, but he had sacrificed the power that had allowed him to become a hero.

He defeated Shigaraki, but he could no longer wield One For All*
