My Hero Academia chapter 387: Bloodlines revealed
My Hero Academia chapter 387 starts with a focus on Geten and Mr. Compress, both of whom are imprisoned in cells directly next to each other. Geten is lecturing on how Himura blood runs thick, explaining the family’s archaic origins as village leaders. He emphasizes that even after the agricultural revolution, they maintained wealth and pride by creating branch families.
However, the onset of Quirks hastened their downfall, with the main branchline not wanting to dilute their blood with that of those who possessed Quirks. Mr. Compress questions what Spinner would say after hearing about a snobbish bloodline prejudiced against heteromorphs. Geten, meanwhile, explains that this resulted in marriages between branch families and distant relatives in order to keep themselves “pure.”
My Hero Academia chapter 387 sees Compress explain that this is what Geten meant by thick blood. The latter then explains that, by taking such an approach, the Himura clan was doomed to shrink and wane. Hence, when the main family started selling children off into marriage, it marked the end of their bloodline.
The few remaining families and family members then scattered, like Geten himself. He explains that this is when he was found and raised by Re-Destro. Geten also comments on how Quirks grow more complex with each generation, equating them to becoming “deeper and richer like layered sediment in a body.”
My Hero Academia chapter 387 sees Geten also assert that some powers are “lying dormant, unbeknownst to the user.” He then comments on how people’s hearts never managed to evolve, pondering what changes they’ll witness tomorrow. Geten then asks Compress to tell a story with whatever he’s got, saying that all they have to do is kill time until the battles end.
The issue then cuts to the Gunga battlefield, where Endeavor is finally being updated on Dabi’s current status by Tsukauchi and the rest of headquarters. Endeavor realizes that both the evacuation block and the group of Heroes fighting against Toga’s clones are now in trouble. As he says this, Dabi rushes him while he ponders how much time he has left due to his injuries.
My Hero Academia chapter 387: Death looms as powers awaken
My Hero Academia chapter 387 sees Dabi call Endeavor dad here while asking him to watch him. Endeavor prepares to fight back as Dabi rushes at him, continuously screaming to be watched, but Endeavor can only see a younger Toya happily sharing what he can do. Endeavor is then brought back to reality when a massive fist of fire smashes him.
Endeavor cries out in pain, but Dabi continues rushing at him, with the former begging him to put out his flames while calling him Toya. Endeavor says he doesn’t want to watch him die, but Dabi responds by asking his brother Natsuo to play. This is when Endeavor realizes that Dabi’s mind is long gone, questioning how he can still be alive with flames hot enough to burn even himself.
My Hero Academia chapter 387 sees Endeavor question what it is about him as the two lock up with each other. Endeavor then touches Dabi’s chest and seemingly notices something, while the narrator explains that a near-death experience can trigger a Quirk to Awaken. Others, meanwhile, can summon absurd power in a do-or-die crisis, which is different from a Quirk Awakening and only manifests as death looms overhead.
Endeavor then realizes that Dabi’s chest is producing ice, likely via Dabi inheriting Rei’s Quirk. Endeavor’s life then flashes before his eyes while he remembers when he once said he’d win a fight and keep his eyes on Toya. A perfectly healthy Endeavor and Dabi are seen locking up now as energy emanates from the latter’s chest, with Endeavor saying he takes full responsibility.
My Hero Academia chapter 387 then sees Endeavor explain how he planned to live his life atoning for both his and Dabi’s sins. However, since Dabi has been watching him all this time despite Endeavor not being there to watch him, his son becomes someone he especially needs to do right by.
Endeavor muses on the dream he constantly has of his entire family but him being together while bearhugging Dabi and saying he won’t let his son die alone. He adds that he also won’t let anyone else get caught up in their tragedy as the two begin flying into the sky, with Endeavor seemingly set to sacrifice himself to save the others.
My Hero Academia chapter 387 sees Endeavor explain that since he can’t cover enough ground at a quick enough pace, they’ll ride Toya’s flames straight into the sky. Endeavor begs his son not to explode yet, asking for just a little longer. Geten’s comments on Himura blood running thick reappear here, as Rei Todoroki appears using her Quirk on her son Toya. The issue ends with a panel showing a young Toya telling his mother that she’s “guilty” too.
My Hero Academia chapter 387: In summation
My Hero Academia chapter 387 is one of the most high-quality and exciting issues to be released by the series in quite a long time. The focus on the Todoroki family drama combined with the appearance of Rei Todoroki herself already cements the issue as an exceptional one, with dialogue and developments furthering its quality.
Especially intriguing about My Hero Academia chapter 387 is Geten’s opening story, which cements him as a distant relative of the Todoroki family. As many fans online have already pointed out, this could recontextualize previous interactions between Dabi and Geten as well as set up an extended Todoroki family in the series’ conclusion.
