Chapter 384 recap

My Hero Academia chapter 384 saw Gigantomachia attack All For One while still under Shinso’s control. Unsurprisingly, All For One broke Shinso’s control over Machia, with the lattermost then acknowledging and recognizing his master. However, Machia shockingly asked All For One why he was left behind, with the chapter establishing that this wasn’t from Shinso’s brainwashing.

A flashback of the two was then shown, with Machia sobbing as All For One left him. Shinso explained that Machia showed resistance to his Quirk on the way over, angrily muttering about All For One and revenge on the journey. Shockingly, Machia then began fighting All For One of his own volition.

Readers then saw several news reporters heading to the scene, all with some sort of connection to Midoriya or the Pro Heroes fighting. Claiming it was their duty to show the world this battle, they continued heading to the fight as the livestream of Gentle Criminal rapidly increased in viewership.

The issue ended with the canonization of several movie characters, all of them watching the situation in Japan.


What to expect (speculative)

My Hero Academia chapter 385 will undoubtedly begin with a focus on All For One, who is now officially out of options with the unexpected betrayal of Gigantomachia. With this being the current situation, All For One’s only option for survival is stealing a Quirk to escape with. While this was always his original plan, Machia’s betrayal cements it as his true only option.

Likewise, fans should expect a heartbreaking issue that will see someone’s Quirk get stolen. The most likely candidate is Hawks, whose Quirk is already severely handicapped in his own hands. If All For One is able to steal Hawks’ Quirk, it would allow him to manifest it at full original strength.

Assuming this ends up being the case, All For One will undoubtedly be able to escape the Pro Heroes and make it to Tomura Shigaraki in time.
