My Hero Academia Cliffhanger Sets Up Spinner's Comeback
Spinner isn't quite on the same power level as his fellow villains that have been featured in My Hero Academia, with the lizard-like antagonist making up for his lackluster Quirk with his devotion to All For One's cause. As the Final Arc continues in the manga, the heroes and villains are giving it their all to create the Hero Society they want, and it would seem that despite Deku's upper hand in the fight against Shigaraki, Spinner has a devastating ace up his sleeve.
Warning. If you have yet to read the latest chapter of My Hero Academia's manga, Chapter 369, you might want to steer clear as we'll be diving into serious spoiler territory.
Since the Final Arc began, All For One recognized the importance of Spinner, not based on his power level, but rather, as a totem for the Paranormal Liberation Front when it comes to rallying regular citizens to their cause. The lizard-looking villain had a rough time growing up, with his appearance looking far from human and thus being a representative of how Hero Society was able to let down so many with the way that it operated. Since debuting as a part of the League of Villains, Spinner has aligned himself with Shigaraki's dream and is working to change the world in honor of a new system.
In the final panel of Chapter 369, we see a very different-looking Spinner, clearly having put on some serious muscle mass as a result of whatever All For One had done to him. While it hasn't been revealed if Spinner has become the latest recipient of All For One's Quirk, the villains have demonstrated their capacity for using science to transfer numerous Quirks into different bodies. With Spinner looking more terrifying than ever before, he might be a trump card for the antagonists, but this doesn't bode well for the young antagonist's future considering how it might ravage his body in the process.
Do you think Spinner will ultimately survive the battle of the Final Arc? Do you think the reptile-like villain is the latest to receive the power of All For One?
