All For One gets his own cup. In the My Hero Academia collaboration with Nissin no Donbei and Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O., the villain is paired with the yakisoba brand, and the lettering where U.F.O. would appear reads A.F.O. instead.
The wider lineup runs to 33 limited-edition packages and 50 characters drawn from both hero and villain sides. Magmix reports reactions on social media: "AFO is just too good," "They really went all the way down to the fine details!" and "Thank you, Nissin." Products go on sale Monday, October 5, 2026.
