As Mangaka Kohei Horikoshi’s popular series My Hero Academia has come to an end, the fate of the series’ villains has sparked discussions among the fandom.
The My Hero Academia villains have played a crucial role in shaping the story’s direction, with characters such as All For One, Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi/Toya Todoroki, Himiko Toga, and other members of the League of Villains serving as the main antagonists.
The antagonistic characters have also played a crucial role in shaping the plot. Through their actions, they have indirectly impacted the development of the hero society. The struggles against these foes have brought the heroes together in their mission to safeguard the world from malevolent forces.
Now that the series has come to an end, fans are eagerly anticipating the ultimate fates of the important antagonists. This article provides a comprehensive list of all the My Hero Academia villains and their outcomes by the conclusion of the story.
AFO, Shigaraki, and 22 other Villains in My Hero Academia: Concluding Their Stories by the End of the Series
All For One (AFO)
Deceased
Despite facing numerous defeats, including significant losses against All Might and Bakugo, AFO remains the greatest antagonist among all the My Hero Academia villains. Despite being on the brink of demise multiple times, he returns to confront Deku in the final war, serving as the ultimate adversary, solidifying his role as the self-proclaimed Demon Lord.
In the ultimate showdown, Deku, along with civilians such as Eri and the evacuees at UA, join forces to defeat AFO, ultimately leading to his downfall and the conclusion of the series.
Tomura Shigaraki (Tenko Shimura)
Condition: Deceased
Despite Tenko Shimura’s transformation into one of the most notorious My Hero Academia villains, known as the embodiment of fear, Tomura Shigaraki is ultimately a tragic product of his circumstances. The influence of AFO initiates a series of events that ultimately leads Shigaraki to embark on a villainous journey.
In the ultimate showdown with Deku, the hero succeeds in shattering his barrier of hostility as he reveals his true feelings to his nemesis. In the end, it is the vestige of Tomura Shigaraki that assists Deku in vanquishing AFO (who is in control of Shigaraki’s body) once and for all, resulting in Shigaraki’s body disintegrating into ashes. Therefore, Tomura Shigaraki meets his demise at the conclusion of the tale.
All Might comes to the realization that even though it was not possible to save Tomura’s life, Deku was able to redeem his soul by breaking through his hatred. This ultimately granted Tomura peace in his last moments.
3) Dabi (Toya Todoroki)
Condition: Hinted to be deceased
Dabi, the eldest son of Endeavor, from the Endeavor family in My Hero Academia, becomes one of the most notorious villains. In the final battle, he tries to self-destruct, with the intention of bringing down Endeavor and his entire family.
Despite beginning to explode, Dabi is stopped by Shoto’s Great Glacial Aegir, which puts out the flames. Even after the final war, Dabi manages to survive, however, his body is left severely injured and in a fragile state.
Despite being kept in a holding facility and receiving treatment to sustain his slowly dying body, Dabi’s fate remains unknown after the eight-year time skip. Considering his limited lifespan due to the war, it is possible that he has passed away.
H3 4) Himiko Toga /h3>
Current status: Deceased
Himiko Toga’s character in My Hero Academia has sparked much debate and conflict among fans, and her final action only fuels the controversy. The epilogue arc controversially confirms Toga’s death.
Despite her intense battle with Ochako during the final war, Toga still chooses to sacrifice herself in order to save Ochako’s life. She selflessly gives Ochako a much-needed blood transfusion, as Ochako had lost a significant amount of blood. However, Toga’s ultimate act of sacrifice goes unnoticed by the world, remaining unseen by all.
Despite being deemed unfair and unsatisfactory by many, this conclusion has sparked debates among fans about Horikoshi’s choice to end Toga and Ochako’s story in this particular way.
5) Twice (Jin Bubaigawara)
Deceased: Yes
Jin Bubaigawara, who goes by the villain alias Twice, is a crucial member of the League of Villains. He holds significant importance throughout the series, especially in the Meta Liberation Army Arc and the Paranormal Liberation War Arc.
Despite Twice’s potential, his involvement in the Paranormal Liberation War Arc was abruptly ended when Hawks took him out during the Gunga Villa raid. This was done to prevent him from using his powerful quirk to assist the villains.
Despite meeting his end long before the final war, Twice’s quirk continues to play a significant role as Toga utilizes it during her battle with Ochako and the others. Even after his untimely demise, Twice remains one of the most influential villains in My Hero Academia.
6) Kurogiri
The individual’s status is now deceased.
Dr. Garaki created Kurogiri as a Nomu under the orders of AFO, utilizing the deceased body of Oboro Shirakumo. Kurogiri’s primary objective was to assist and safeguard Shigaraki, and his warp quirk proved to be an essential asset to the League of Villains. Although Kurogiri was a villain, remnants of Shirakumo’s character remained present within him.
Despite the heavy toll it took on his body, Aizawa and Present Mic were able to connect with the remnants of Shirakumo during the final battle and utilize Kurogiri’s quirk to aid the heroes. In a final act of sacrifice, Kurogiri attempted to protect Shigaraki from Deku’s attack, but was ultimately stopped by Bakugo, resulting in his demise. This brings a sense of closure to Aizawa and Present Mic who had been mourning the loss of their dear friend Oboro Shirakumo.
7) Spinner (Shuichi Iguchi)
The current status is either alive or arrested.
Despite facing numerous challenges, Shuichi Iguchi, also known as Spinner, emerges as one of the few surviving members of the League of Villains in the series’ conclusion. With his beliefs heavily influenced by Stain, Spinner plays a crucial role in leading the heteromorph rebellion during the epic final war.
Following the defeat of Spinner by Shoji and Present Mic, he was taken into custody and incarcerated. In the aftermath of the final war, Spinner penned a book chronicling the League and its leader, Shigaraki, who was not only his comrade but also a cherished friend. This book serves as a tribute to their memory and a way to preserve their legacy for future generations.

Current Condition: Alive/In Custody
Atsuhiro Sako, also known as Mr. Compress, is among the handful of key members of the League of Villains who manages to survive until the end of the story.

Despite being knocked out by Mirio, Mr. Compress was still captured and incarcerated. In the final chapter 430, he is shown in a panel reading Spinner’s book about Shigaraki and the League.
Gigantomachia
Condition: Deceased
Gigantomachia, known as one of AFO’s most devoted followers and former bodyguard, remains one of the most powerful antagonists in My Hero Academia. He consistently fulfills AFO’s commands, occasionally aiding Shigaraki and the League in their endeavors.
Despite the heroes’ efforts to take control of Machia using Shinso’s Brainwashing during the final war and use him to fight AFO, their plan ultimately fails. In chapter 385, AFO, now restored to his prime thanks to Eri’s quirk, unleashes a massive lightning blast that obliterates Machia’s entire body and ends his life.

Current Condition: Living/In Custody

After Deku manages to defeat Chisaki, he is promptly apprehended by authorities. In a cruel act, Shigaraki and the League sever his arms, rendering him powerless. However, he makes a brief appearance during the Dark Hero Arc. In the aftermath of the final war, the ex-leader of the Shie Hassaikai makes a visit to Chisaki in prison, encouraging him to seek redemption for his past wrongdoings.
