New My Hero Academia Cover Art Focuses on Iron Man All Might

My Hero Academia's manga is currently more intense than it ever has been for the heroes and villains, and the cover art for the newest volume of the series is highlighting All Might's own Iron Man armored look! My Hero Academia is currently working through the final battles between the heroes and villains, and that surprisingly included a final stand off between All Might and All For One. Although the hero and villain are at a much different place than they were during their first altercation, it was an intense final fight nonetheless as All Might refused to give up. 

In the final fight against All For One, All Might debuted a final weapon he had been working on. It turned out to be a full suit of armor that brought about an "Iron Man" like suit for Armored All Might that allowed the hero to briefly keep up with All For One's growing power. This new suit used weapons and gadgets that acted like all of the quirks from Class 1-A and resulted in All Might's best fight yet. It's this Armored All Might look that stars on the cover art for My Hero Academia Volume 40, and you can check it out below ahead of its release in Japan.
