My Hero Academia chapter 416: Midoriya’s attack against Shigaraki appears to pay homage to Saitama from One Punch Man
With All For One finally defeated, all eyes are on Izuku Midoriya, who is putting his life on the line to beat Tomura Shigaraki. His death or defeat will certainly conclude the manga series.
The strategy that Midoriya is currently employing is to overload Shigaraki with One For All quirks. This will allow the vestiges to enter Shigaraki. The entire plan hinges on the possibility that Shigaraki could be talked out of his current senses by the vestiges, which would defeat him.

Prior to My Hero Academia chapter 416, Shigaraki managed to steal a quirk and overwhelm Midoriya. However, in the recent chapter, he instilled fear in Shigaraki with his persistence and combat abilities. Furthermore, the entire world watched Midoriya’s heroic efforts, and readers thoroughly enjoyed seeing the main character receive the spotlight. However, My Hero Academia chapter 416 leaks have the entire fanbase excited.
This is because Midoriya is using his quirks to land an extremely powerful punch against Shigaraki. The way Kohei Horikoshi drew this punch was very similar to the punch that Saitama uses when he is serious.
The One Punch Man protagonist rarely uses the Serious Series: Serious Punch. When he uses it, the size of the fist looks massive, indicative of his attack’s enormous presence. The Japanese Kanji for death further accompanies this attack.

However, the raw scans of My Hero Academia chapter 416 don’t show any Kanji symbols. The angle as well as the composition of the frame, are very reminiscent of Saitama’s attack in the One Punch Man series. Naturally, fans were highly hyped when they saw this particular panel. Seeing Midoriya emulate the likes of Saitama is a massive cause for excitement.
Some fans even believe that this could be indicative of the fight coming to an end. However, it is best for the fanbase to wait for My Hero Academia chapter 416 release date to see whether the fight will end in the upcoming set of chapters.
