Midoriya Izuku, or Deku, has trained his body to make One For All his own in My Hero Academia. As the crux of the battle is reaching its end, the vestiges in One For All have come up with a plan that will surely end All For One, however, with Deku’s dream of being a Hero at stake.

Deku, however, takes it in stride to defeat All For One and attempts to save Shigaraki's heart. The result of this action will leave Deku with embers of the Quirk that was once known as One For All. However, that is not where the story ends for Deku; find out what happens to him after the Final War.

What happens to Deku after the Final War?

Deku loses the power of One For All but still retains some embers

As the end of the Final War approaches, Deku inserts the power of One For All into All For One to begin the attack from within his consciousness. The American Hero, Star and Strip's Quirk, New Order, found a small crack, likely from her previous rampage. However, transferring the Quirk would mean giving All For One precisely what he wants. To combat this, Deku would need to forcefully transfer his Quirk to All For One, which would cause internal and external damage to him.

As Deku began to insert One For All into All For One, Shigaraki and Deku's memories began to merge. Once Deku inserted the final vestige into Shigaraki, he once again became Quirkless and lost both arms in the process, as seen in Chapter 419. However, thanks to Eri’s help and quick thinking, Deku could rewind time and regain his arms by using a small piece of her horn. However, the rewind process was much slower due to the low energy stored within it.

My Hero Academia: The Difference Between the Bakugo and Todoroki Families

The Todoroki and Bakugo families exhibit two different kinds of family dynamics. But what are the differences and parallels between them?

Although Deku has transferred One For All to All For One, he still has some embers remaining from the Quirk. After the third-year students graduated from UA High School, and Deku and his classmates became second years, Deku still had a few embers of his Quirk remaining. However, a prolonged or massive burst of use of the Quirk would diminish the flame further.

Unfortunately, in Chapter 429, Deku uses a large burst of power to find Uraraka Ochaco, which further diminishes the flame. In Chapter 430, we see a montage of the years passing by, up until Deku’s class passes UA High School. The embers of One For All likely lasted until the end of high school when it finally vanished, and Midoriya Izuku is once again Quirkless.

What is Deku’s life like after losing One For All?

After graduating from UA High School, Deku became a teacher

In Chapter 430, after Deku loses One For All, eight years pass after he graduates from UA. However, Deku has always had incredible intellect and thus has become a teacher at UA High School alongside Aizawa Shouta, although Aizawa wishes Deku would be stricter with his students.

Like many others who have grown up and become adults, it has gotten harder for Deku and his previous classmates to meet up. However, this is due to being unable to get days off that coincide with one another. Although Deku no longer has a Quirk, his body still reacts to those in need. While he may not possess a Quirk, he still encourages and motivates those who want to become heroes. Giving others the same encouragement he received from All Might when he first received One For All.

Uraraka Ochako and Himiko Toga have experienced love in vastly different ways. How has this affected their lives and love as they age?

While many would think Deku is satisfied with his life after coming so far, he admits in Chapter 430 that he feels a bit lonely. Although encouraging others to do their best and become heroes gives him some fulfillment, he likely feels he is missing something. However, this is not the end of the story for Midoriya Izuku.

This, too … is a power you’ve earned, fair and square!

Deku soon meets All Might at UA High School, and All Might confesses he has a gift for Deku. Unbeknownst to Deku, Class A and Bakugo Katsuki have funded a super-suit with Bakugo at the heart of it. As technology has continued to evolve over eight years, although Quirkless, Deku will now has another chance to become a Hero once more alongside Class A. Previously, Bakugo had felt some guilt about Deku becoming Quirkless again, as he confesses his true feelings in Chapter 424 as he cries.

Bakugo believed that after the Final War, he and Deku would continue to compete for the top spot. However, as Deku continued to use One For All, the ember would slowly fade. However, thanks to this new technology, it is finally Bakugo's turn to hold out his hand for Izuku to take, once again saving the world as Heroes.

In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the "One-For-All" quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.
