My Hero Academia is nearing its end, sparking various fan theories about the fate of Deku and Shigaraki. One idea gaining traction is the possibility of them swapping quirks by the series' conclusion. This theory is rooted in the thematic significance of All For One and One For All, suggesting that Deku, as the final user of One For All, may inherit Shigaraki's quirk due to their shared experiences as outcasts with dreams of becoming heroes. However, this creative twist has divided fans, particularly regarding Shigaraki's lack of remorse for his villainous actions.

Some feel that Shigaraki's redemption would be unearned, while others question the authenticity of a bond between Deku and Shigaraki to justify such a dramatic plot development. As the manga progresses towards its finale, the shift in quirks could serve as a controversial and thought-provoking conclusion to this epic tale.
