My Hero Academia chapter 419 is set to release on Monday, April 8, 2024, at 12 am JST, according to the series’ official page on the MANGA Plus platform. Following All For One’s unexpected return, fans are unsure about what to expect from what remains in the series’ alleged final arc.

However, fans will be left guessing for quite some time as verifiable spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 419 are unavailable as of this article’s writing. Likewise, recent anti-manga piracy activity within Japan has cast doubts on the future of spoiler processes for both mangaka Kohei Horikoshi’s original series and others in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Thanks to MANGA Plus, however, fans do at least have a confirmed release date and time for the coming issue.

My Hero Academia chapter 418 recap

My Hero Academia chapter 418 began with Tenko Shimura’s origins playing out exactly as they first had, starting with the unintentional use of Decay on his dog Mon. However, when reaching out to his sister Hana, a young Deku caught Tenko’s hands. Since they were in a world where memory materializes, Deku kept 'remembering' his hands in order to prevent their Decay. Tenko then asked why Deku was doing this, to which he replied that it was because Tenko was crying.

However, Tenko responded that he chose this, questioning the point of his “hands,” i.e. his Quirk, otherwise. He also asks who else would validate his existence given how he is, beginning to reject Deku in the process. This starts a flashback sequence that blends their memories together, with Deku’s arms Decaying in the process. Tenko is then seen playing with his friends and is told to play All Might, but he rejects this and Deku to be a “hero” for the villains as Tomura.

In reality, the fingers are seen crumbling away. However, Deku and Shigaraki then see someone else’s memories of meeting with Kotaro Shimura play. The person asks Kotaro if Tenko’s Quirk has come out yet, as a giant All For One face appears in the dream world. It swallows Shigaraki, reprimanding him for almost losing to Deku.

The issue ends with All For One saying that none of Tomura’s choices have ever been his own as an armless Deku is blown away.

With All For One seemingly having returned, it seems that he will be the final villain for the series overall rather than Tomura Shigaraki. Likewise, virtually anything seems possible, including Shigaraki fighting against All For One himself following the information that seemingly came to light in chapter 418.

Chapter 419 should at least give individuals an idea of what the final fight matchup will be, assuming fans are indeed getting a final fight given the latest developments. While there would be several options, something involving Shigaraki seems most likely given Deku’s apparent total lack of a Quirk at this time.
