Chapter 384 recap
My Hero Academia chapter 384 began with Gigantomachia, still under Shinso’s control at this point, hurling a mountain at All For One. However, the villain used a shock to break Shinso’s control over Machia, with the giant then recognizing the true All For One. Machia then asked his master why he left him behind, with Hawks explaining that this wasn’t Shinso’s brainwashing.
A brief flashback of the two parting ways was shown, with Machia seemingly crying over remembering the moment. Shinso then explained that Machia, like Midoriya, showed resistance to his Quirk. The massive beast was then shown to be fighting All For One of his own volition, as the issue shifted perspectives.
The issue saw various news reporters heading to the scene, all of whom have a connection to Midoriya or the Pro Heroes in some way. They essentially discussed how it’s their duty to show the world what’s happening, as the livestream of Gentle Criminal is shown to be escalating in views.
The chapter ended with an exciting canonization of several movie characters, all of whom are shown to be watching what’s unfolding in Japan.
What to expect (speculative)
My Hero Academia chapter 385 will almost certainly begin with a focus on All For One, who remains in an incredibly dire situation. While this has been the status quo for quite some time, the situation has become truly inescapable with Machia voluntarily fighting him. All For One’s only options for escape are stealing a Quirk like Dark Shadow or Hawks’ Wings.
As a result, fans are expecting the upcoming issue to be an unfortunate one, with some truly saddening developments for a few fan-favorite characters. This is especially true considering the lack of focus on Izuku Midoriya versus Tomura Shigaraki, which indicates that the series could be setting up All For One to successfully take over Tomura’s body.
Alternatively, My Hero Academia chapter 385 could quell these fears (at least temporarily) by giving focus to Midoriya and Shigaraki’s fight. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that All For One is done for, it would suggest as much. However, the possibility exists that this could also be used as a red herring for readers, meant to lull them into a false sense of security.
