My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 10, Ending Explained: Why does One for All believe Deku is unfit for One for All? Is Izuku dead?
Deku finds his body is too weakened to move after becoming trapped inside One for All. Nana Shimura suddenly strokes his head as comfort and advises him not to force himself too hard.
Shigaraki approaches him carefully, One for All emerging from his shoulder. Then One for All reveals to Shigaraki that his dead grandma is present with Deku.
The villain used to have recurring dreams about people whose quirks he had stolen over time. These dreams ended only once he regained control of the powers he had taken. It was when he met Garaki that he realized what was going on. Organs and cells, it turns out, have memories as well.
So, when One for All took someone’s powers, the quirk genes carried their awareness. This might be a compelling discovery and could also explain Deku’s unpleasant nightmares, as he got his quirk from others.
When One for All sees Deku in his vulnerable position, he mocks him and claims that he is undeserving of All for One. However, One for All’s stubborn brother, who has mysteriously appeared there, denies his claims and supports Deku, stating that the small kid deserves the power since he is ready to go to any extent to help others.
His attitude distinguishes him from others. While Nina Shimura and Yoichi Shigaraki prevent Tomura from destroying the planet within One for All, Deku gets on his feet and jumps for his enemy.
After Deku and Shigaraki escape All for One, they cannot continue fighting and gradually collapse. Deku realizes Shigaraki cannot take his quirk away from him, but he lacks the strength to fight his enemy. Suddenly, he begins to fall from the sky, and his eyes close.
