Chapter 381 recap
My Hero Academia chapter 381 saw the rest of the Shiketsu High students and alumni join the Gunga battlefield, helping to restrain the Twice clones made by Himiko Toga. Fans saw the heroes change their tactics against All For One, deciding to overwhelm him with numbers rather than send only their most skilled fighters at the supervillain.
All For One took advantage of this tactic by combining several Quirks to make a giant blast that seemingly took out several heroes. He then ridiculed the heroes present, lecturing them about how they have no chance to win without All Might. He also criticized the youngest among them for not having lived through the peak of his power, thus making them unknowledgeable of how strong he truly is.
Inasa countered that they learned all that in history class, sending his winds at All For One and causing the hero to goad them into coming and meeting their fate by rushing him. Fumikage Tokoyami and a massive Dark Shadow took him up on this, seemingly scaring All For One into dodging him unsuccessfully and sending him smashing into the ground as the issue ended.
What to expect (speculative)
My Hero Academia chapter 382 is expected to continue focusing on Tokoyami versus All For One. The issue will likely see All For One desperately combining Quirks in an effort to combat Dark Shadow’s might. He will probably try to use various light-based abilities to do so. However, these counters will likely prove useless considering the massive size Dark Shadow has grown to.
Many fans speculate that this will force All For One to focus on escaping rather than fighting Tokoyami. They also suspect that Hawks will be put in a situation where he needs to sacrifice himself for Tokoyami, allowing All For One to steal his Quirk.
If this does happen in My Hero Academia chapter 382, fans can expect the issue’s final moments to feature All For One with Fierce Wings in his repertoire. It’s unlikely that fans will see him actually flee the battlefield. This scenario would be better suited as the start of the subsequent issue and a segue into Izuku Midoriya versus Tomura Shigaraki.
