My Hero Academia left fans on their toes after the imposing villain All For One made his grand debut in the series. With fans wanting to know what he'll do next, this new batch of spoilers for the next episode certainly ramp up the stakes.

All For One is preparing for a major counterattack, but someone in particular is going to stand in his way!

Episode 48 of My Hero Academia is titled "The Symbol of Peace" and the synopsis (as provided by Twitter users @YonkouProd and @aitaikimochii) reads as follows:

"The greatest evil, All For One, waits for the perfect opportunity to strike, and the triumphant heroes are certainly in a huge dilemma! The League of Villains are retreating, but will they take Bakugo with them too?

This Week's Deku: The State of Despair!

Deku and the others are stricken with fear and rendered immobile by All For One. However, that person starts rushing towards him! In order to save Bakugo, Deku must come up with a way to go around this!"

The most standout statement of the synopsis is definitely mentioning "that person" charging at All For One, so fans are curious as to who this could be. Although fans of the manga know the result, this upcoming battle with All For One is definitely going to be the biggest in the series to date.

For those unfamiliar with the My Hero Academia juggernaut, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.

My Hero Academia's first movie, My Hero Academia: The Movie - The Two Heroes, is scheduled to open August 3. The film will cover a story not seen in the original manga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, "Of course the movie will be filled with Class A's great efforts, that character's past that hasn't been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more." The film also previously revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before, and a trailer revealing an All Might in his prime.
