| ~ Gigantomachia to Tomura Shigaraki |
Background
Gigantomachia (ギガントマキア Gigantomakia) is a major antagonist of the manga and anime series My Hero Academia.
Being one of All For One's most faithful servants, who even worked for him as his personal bodyguard, he was cultivated along the way to be of use to Tomura Shigaraki if anything were to happen to him.
After Tomura Shigaraki's victory over Re-Destro and the formation of the "Paranormal Liberation Front", he ultimately acknowledged Tomura Shigaraki as his new "master", and resigned as a member of the newly founded organization.
During the "Paranormal Liberation War Arc", he was eventually defeated by the Pro-Heroes, and was locked down in a large container located at the ruins of the "Jaku Hospital".
A prison, from which he was released during the "Final War Arc", with the purpose of providing reinforcements for All For One's faction during the "final battle". But which, unfortunately for the villains, ended in favor of the Pro-Heroes, thanks to Shinso's "Brainwashing" Quirk.
Even though he was later able to break free from Shinso's control, he still rebelled against his old "master", All For One, and continued to assist the Pro-Heroes in bringing him down once and for all. An act that enraged All For One, to the point where he decided to brutally attack him, causing him to suffer a severe wound that left him unconscious on the battlefield.
