What to expect from the upcoming chapter? (speculative)
My Hero Academia chapter 384 will almost certainly begin with a focus on All For One, who is in a truly dire situation. This will likely segue into fans learning exactly who or what is in the ominous helicopters seen in the previous issue’s final pages. Most likely, these are heroic reinforcements, with All For One likely having no more allies to speak of.
If this is the case, fans will likely be taken back to Izuku Midoriya versus Tomura Shigaraki. With it having been quite some time since fans saw this final battle, Horikoshi could get a cheap pop from readers by showing the fight actually beginning. However, it’s unlikely that the issue will stay here long with several other battles still taking place.
My Hero Academia chapter 384 could also give viewers an update on Endeavor versus Dabi, as well as Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui’s efforts in stopping Himiko Toga. Both situations are still key to how the final war will play out, and as such are major candidates for updates in the coming issue.
Chapter 383 recap
My Hero Academia chapter 383 began with a focus on the Gigantomachia containment facility following reports of Shoto Todoroki’s alleged victory versus Dabi. Here, fans saw Heroes and Villains alike locked in combat, with the latter group seemingly gaining the upper hand as Gigantomachia was awoken and freed.
However, the Heroes had a secret weapon for such a development in the form of Hitoshi Shinso. Unfortunately, as Eijiro Kirishima and readers learned together, Shinso was caught by the sludge villain from the series’ initial issues and was unable to escape. As the villains bragged about their imminent victory, Mina Ashido appeared, rescuing Shinso and saving the day.
As Ashido showed off her new moves and spoke to Kirishima about their shared past, Shinso brought Machia under his own control. This then segued into Mt. Lady receiving the call about All For One using Rewind on himself. The issue’s final panels then jumped back to the present, where All For One is seen contending with Tokoyami, Machia, and several other Heroes as ominous helicopters approach the scene.
