My Hero Academia chapter 422 Recap

My Hero Academia chapter 422, titled Izuku Midoriya Rising saw Deku running toward All For One in an attempt to fight him. However, AFO did everything in his capability to stop Deku before he could reach him. Unfortunately for the villain, Deku received help from his friends and fellow heroes.

This left AFO confused about what made Deku different from All Might. Moments later, AFO realized that the very reason that Deku was weak was what made him different, as his friends felt compelled to help him despite being injured themselves.

The manga then saw a few more of Deku's friends helping him, soon after which he reached AFO and landed a punch.

What to expect from My Hero Academia chapter 423?

My Hero Academia chapter 423 will most likely see the fight between Deku and AFO finally begin. While Deku has given up his One For All quirk, he plans to fight with its remaining embers.

As fans would remember, even All Might fought AFO with the embers of his quirk. However, after his battle, the former No.1 Hero lost his quirk entirely. Hence, given how weak Deku was after his fight against Shigaraki Tomura, his fight against AFO could end up as a race against time.
