What to Expect from MHA Season 8 Episode 5?

Katsuki Bakugo has done the impossible by defeating All For One and erasing him from existence in the previous episode. There is only one evil left alive, Tomura Shigaraki, and it is up to Deku to put an end to him next. But defeating Tomura is no easy job, as he has evolved into something else. The official synopsis of the upcoming episode gives a glimpse of what’s in store for us:

“Deku manages to fight back against Shigaraki by making full use of his One For All quirk. But then Shigaraki reaches out and steals a certain quirk from him! What will Deku do in the midst of this…?”

It’s going to be an all-out battle for Deku as he has to make use of all of his quirks within One For All to clinch his victory. However, it seems like Tomura will start snatching his quirk one by one. How will Deku counter this? Find out in the next episode tomorrow.
