Chapter 393 recap
My Hero Academia chapter chapter 393 began with the League of Villains discussing Himiko Toga’s possible villain names, with “Pikachiu” and “Lickitung” being some. Dabi called the names poor due to being references to a time before Quirks. Shigaraki then explained how hero and villain names came to be, with Toga realizing that she doesn’t want a name so she can live as her true self.
The chapter then returned to the present, where Toga was touched and made to float by Ochaco Uraraka as the latter tried to escape her clutches. Toga then unleashed the Sad Man’s Legion on Uraraka while asserting that she doesn’t actually pity her. A news reporter then claimed that the battle between Uraraka and Toga is representative of the Quirk Doomsday Theory, which claims Quirks will eventually become so strong that they will be uncontrollable.
As the Sad Man’s Legion rushed Uraraka, she dodged some but was eventually overwhelmed. As Uraraka shared her true feelings with Toga, what appeared to be electricity jet out of her fingers, causing all of the Twice clones around her to float despite her not touching them. Following this Quirk Awakening, the chapter ended with Uraraka asking Toga to finally have their chat about romance.
What to expect (speculative)
My Hero Academia chapter 394 may open up by showing Uraraka closing the distance between her and Toga, possibly even trying to restrain the latter afterwards. While Uraraka did ask to have their conversation about romance, there’s undoubtedly a sense of animosity from Toga to Uraraka.
Moreover, My Hero Academia chapter 394 will likely see Toga continue to try and fight and hurt Uraraka, with her likely not ready to abandon her animosity and desire for revenge just yet. That being said, if there’s anyone who can convince Toga to abandon this quest for revenge, it’s undoubtedly Uraraka, who’s ready to become a true friend to Toga.
