My Hero Academia Chapter 408 Leaks and Spoilers Reveal the Third User’s Name
According to trusted leakers like @Rukasu, the chapter begins right after All For One kills his brother Yoichi. His entire body is destroyed, leaving only a hand behind. It is revealed that the Villain gave his brother that name because he was the first thing he owned in the world. Yoichi can be translated as the first thing given to someone. Shortly after, Kudou can be seen being treated by the third user, Bruce.

Bruce asks his friend if All For One managed to touch him at all since he appears to have another Quirk inside of him. A few panels show Yoichi wondering why his brother turned out the way he did, lamenting that he could have been the kindest person in the world with his Quirk.
Sometime later, the second user faces All For One, proclaiming that Yoichi’s will lives inside him. The Villain realizes that his brother’s Quirk is now inside Kudou.
The next pages show All For One standing in front of all the important moments in his life. He can be seen killing Kudou and Bruce, fighting and killing Banjo, Nana’s death, his encounter with Doctor Garaki, and the moment he became the ruler of Japan’s crime world. Lastly, he remembers the moment in which All Might almost killed him, with Garaki having to take his body out of the morgue.

Back in the present, All For One realizes that it is Bakugo’s determination-filled eyes that remind him of Kudou. Yet, he has no more time to dwell on that, as his time is running out. In a last-ditch effort, the Villain lets out all of his Quirks at the same time, creating a monstrous-looking being. Bakugo comprehends that his opponent is trying to escape the fight, but confidently states that this trick will never work.
My Hero Academia Chapter 408 Raw Scans Depict a Nightmare-Inducing All For One
The raw scans for My Hero Academia Chapter 408 prove once again why fans claim that Kohei Horikoshi would be a great horror mangaka. From the first moment, the blood and gore can be found everywhere, with Yoichi’s body being completely disintegrated. The fact that All For One kept the hand of his brother, similar to what Shigaraki does, only makes it more creepy.

His fights against the previous One For All users are also incredibly gruesome, especially his encounter with All Might. The moment in which the head of the Villain explodes is depicted, not sparing even a single drop of blood. This chapter is among the most brutal in the series.
Nevertheless, the biggest shock is without a doubt the monstrous-looking being created by All For One using all his Quirks at once. The amorphous blob has an incredible number of heads and limbs, looking more like a mass of people being fused. It is as awe-inspiring as it is horrifying, but it is an amazing piece of artwork, nonetheless.
Unfortunately, while most fans believed Bakugo to be somehow related to Kudou, this chapter confirms that they are not. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that both warriors have the same determined look. Their eyes are almost identical, looking at All For One with defiance and pride.
