My Hero Academia chapter 339 marks the beginning of the final war
Recap of My Hero Academia chapter 338
While Inspector Tsukauchi and Present Mic were skeptical about the Aoyamas, Aizawa and Class 1-A decided to stand firmly by Yuga’s side. Aizawa, present in the meeting through a video call, had disclosed his plan in using the Aoyamas’ connection to AFO (All for One) to their advantage. Subsequently, Aoyama was taken away.
Later in Class 1-A dorm, the students prepared for the war. Midoriya and Iida were concerned about their destroyed hero costumes. The former decided that he needed a costume that can bring out the full capacity of OFA (One for All). It was then that Mei Hatsume appeared.

My Hero Academia chapter 339 is titled “The Story of How We All Became Heroes: Part 2.” Chapter 339 begins with Hatsume explaining that the Development Studio is much bigger now that the U.A. barrier is being powered from here.
Powerloader further explains that Hatsume was crucial in creating the Barrier. Midoriya shows the latter his blown up Mid-Gauntlets. Since it was imported and the necessary supplies are not available, Hatsume says that it would be impossible to recreate it in a short time, and Iida faces a similar problem.
But, since both Iida and Midoriya are in a hurry, Hatsume gives them her own version of their previous gloves, both of which punch them in the face. However, there appears to be Air-Gloves attached to the arm portion of Midoriya’s Mid-Gauntlet.
Hatsume encourages both Iida and Midoriya, telling them that they will win.
In the next panel of My Hero Academia chapter 339, Class 1-A is seen leaving U.A. campus with Mt. Lady. As the entourage wonders if Aoyama will take their side, Todoroki states that he must be the one to envision his future. This echoed the words he shared with Iida during their fight against Stain.
My Hero Academia chapter 339 then cuts to Kansai, where Fatgum, Tamaki, and Nejire are seen evacuating people. Fatgum warns the two students that the final war is about to begin.
My Hero Academia chapter 339 then again changes the setting, and we see All Might enter a warehouse with Hawks, where he tells everyone that everything has been arranged.
Speculations
My Hero Academia chapter 339 marks the beginning of the final war. Aizawa’s plan is yet to be revealed, however, and All Might’s declaration might have something to do with that.
Hatsume has given Deku and Iida the upgrade that fans had speculated, but it remains to be seen how they function. Aoyama’s final decision is still unclear, but will be revealed in the next chapter.
The villains might reappear in My Hero Academia chapter 340. With Todoroki coming abruptly into focus in My Hero Academia chapter 339 and Endeavor being absent for quite a while, we might get to see some hints of their fight against Dabi.
Shigaraki’s state is also unknown, as is AFO’s plan. With Horikoshi having hinted that there would be a confrontation between Toga and Uraraka, there is more to expect on that front as well.
