Chapter 413 recap
My Hero Academia chapter 413 began with All Might seeing visions of Star and Stripe’s final moments alive, where her Vestige within All For One found a “forlorn little boy” in Tomura Shigaraki’s soul. As All Might wakes up, he questions if this was just a dream, but deduces that One For All is slowly unraveling. The scene then shifts to Shigaraki versus Deku, where the former also just had a vision of Star and remembered her final words to him.
As this happens, Deku is knocked back, demanding Kudo for an explanation on what he means by giving up One For All. Essentially, Kudo responds that there’s a small scar in Shigaraki’s soul where Tenko Shimura is visible. Kudo asserts that by forcefully transferring One For All, they can smash at the scar and pry it open for victory. He adds that he should be the one to go since if Shigaraki tries to use Gearshift, he’ll get hit with the full recoil despite using it for the first time.
As the other former users debate, Nana Shimura recognizes that Deku is struggling with the decision because One For All is his greatest, most irreplaceable treasure from All Might. As Shigaraki charges at Deku, Kudo forces him to answer, with Deku going along with the plan. The chapter ends with Deku wrapping himself in Black Whip and destroying Shigaraki’s arm, as the latter comments on how he’d never guess Deku was a hero looking at him as he is now.
What to expect (speculative)
With the next plan of attack for Deku and co set, My Hero Academia chapter 414 will likely open up with Deku trying to create an organic opening for Shigaraki to steal Gearshift. This should happen fairly quickly considering that Shigaraki’s goal is also to steal One For All and the various Quirk Factors housed within it.
Likewise, My Hero Academia chapter 414 should quickly see Gearshift stolen, with a focus then going to Kudo as he attempts to successfully execute his plan. Meanwhile, in the real world, fans should see Shigaraki immediately try to use Gearshift. In turn, this will hit him with the full recoil from the Quirk’s fourth use overall in recent times, likely giving Deku the upper hand externally as Kudo mounts his attack internally.
