My Hero Academia Teases How All for One Stole Shirakumo's Quirk

My Hero Academia's latest arc is all about the buildup to the upcoming Meta Liberation Army war. We've taken a break from the kids of Class 1-A to get a rare look at the backstory of Shota Aizawa / Eraser Head. As we learned in the previous chapter of the manga, Eraser Head lost a treasured friend named Oboro Shirakumo which friend that may or may not have been changed  into the League of Villains' personal transporter, Kurogiri which  latest chapter of the My Hero Academia manga where  more of the story  including how and why All For One stole Shirakumo's quirk.



As it turns out, Oboro Shirakumo, Shota and Hizashi Yamada (aka Present Mic) were a trio of inseparable friends in U.A.'s Class 2-A when they came up. Known as "The Three Dumbigos," the group went into th work study phase of their education, hoping to one day open their own agency. However, Shirakumo died during that work study, and the theory is that his corpse was used as the baseline for an intelligent Nomu that became Kurogiri.

As for why All For One hijacked Shirakumo's quirk and corpse? In a brief scene from All For One's interrogation, the archvillain explains that "Superior Quirks tend to end up clustered at U.A. He probably swapped out the body before it got cremated, and turned it into one of his isnane toys. One of the Nomu. So don't go looking... For meaning in any of it, DJ. It's nothing but pure evil."
