Is All For One's True Goal a Twisted Form of Global Salvation?

As the final war arc of My Hero Academia escalates, a compelling and morally complex theory has gained significant traction on Douban and Lofter. It challenges the simplistic view of All For One as a megalomaniacal power-hoarder, proposing instead that his ultimate endgame is a twisted, authoritarian attempt to prevent the "Quirk Singularity Doomsday."

The theory hinges on the established lore that human biology cannot sustain the endless, compounding evolution of Quirks without catastrophic collapse. All For One, having lived for over a century, has witnessed this biological tipping point firsthand. The hypothesis suggests that his obsession with stealing One For All is not just about acquiring a specific power, but about consolidating all Quirk factors into a single, stable vessel: himself.

By becoming the ultimate singularity, AFO intends to act as a "pressure valve" for the entire planet. He believes that only by forcibly regulating, suppressing, or even resetting the Quirk factor from a position of absolute godhood can he save humanity from destroying itself. Fans have deeply engaged with this "necessary evil" framing. It transforms his final clash with Deku into a profound ideological battle: Deku represents the belief in organic, chaotic, and hopeful human evolution, while All For One represents the cold, calculating belief that humanity must be forcefully controlled and pruned to survive its own unnatural gifts.
