My Hero Academia

MHA is on break this week due to Horikoshi being sick. Viz probably just hasn’t updated their website.

Ah, thought that's what it might be, thank you.

So I believe there's no new chapter this week correct?

Yup. It'll likely release next week though, but it depends...

I wonder how the Kurogiri/Aizawa/Mic plot thread will resolve?

Oh shit, I legit forgot about them.

There's just a lot of crazy shit going on.

Chapter 414:
Time travel?

Chapter out love how shiggy is like yeah this guy is crazy he isn't gonna retreat. Also black chains is doing a lot of heavy lifting this chapter. And sayonara kudou and gearshift, wonder which quirk deku will get rid of next, he's got 5 proverbial bullets left in the chamber.

think its more memoryscape shenanigans from gearshift hitting shiggys core

Looks like this final battle is turning into a trip down memory lane.

Coming next, Izuku and Tomura's epic Fusion Dance into a single individual. What will he be called? "Tenku" "Izura"? Vote now. But jokes aside, that would be one unexpected way to save Tenko.

I heard from my friend that the latest chapters remind him of Superior Spider-Man.

Dare I ask my jokes about Shigaraki switching minds with Deku is coming true?

Real "last stage of the last stage" energy from this chapter. I feel like we'll be done by May at latest unless there are unexpected emergencies.

I can see the comparison. You'll understand yourself when you get here.

Meanwhile, this memory merger might be the key to finally helping Deku grasp why Shiggy is how he is. While his desire to save him is genuine, Deku's never really gotten Shigaraki. But maybe viewing the latter's memories (including the whole thing with his family) might finally give him the perspective to really reach the latter.

Horikoshi mentioned in an interview that there are a lot of things “after the battle” that he wants to draw, I’m hoping that means we get a fairly lengthy epilogue. With that in mind I’m going to guess it’ll stretch out to 42 volumes and end around September/October.

I’m continuing to like Deku’s tactics and creative quirk usage/exploitation of quirk rules.

Remember when Horikoshi said in 2022 that he was aiming to conclude the manga that year?

I have genuinly no idea how he thought that could be feasible with everything that has happened since then in the story.

To be fair, he's had a quite a few unanticipated breaks and health scares.

Ok, the Tomura fight suddenly took a really fascinating turn. This chapter did a lot to recover my faith in the finale's execution.

Things seem a lot shorter in your head than they do when you write them out.

I've grown fond of this scene.

Why does All Might name his attacks after Western places? He has a sidekick/partner from there.

How does All Might change into his costume? Wears it underneath, yes, but let's pretend he used the explosion as an excuse to change in mid-descent.

He can't fly so he has a sports car-driving sidekick.

He's also really f—-ing cool in his prime. Got that Mirio Togata style of flair without being butt naked.

I wish we got more of Prime All Might. Though, this does naturally raise the question... did or why didn't All Might use any of the powers we see Deku using? Was there some kind of Power Incontinence thing going on and he didn't meet the previous OFA users?

One For All simply hadn't stored up enough power for it to have ever happened. It was only after the Quirk was passed to Izuku that the vestiges really started making their presences known, with their Quirks manifesting during Joint Training.

Wasn't it also because All Might was a natural knuckle-head, so the physical aspect just came naturally to him? He might have simply not been capable to even consider the mental headspace that the vestiges existed in, because punching stuff HARD came so much easier.

No one before Izuku used any of the other powers because that only became possible with Izuku's time. That was made explicitly clear. Though both Nana and All Might had flickering visions hinting at it during their tenures with OFA.

All Might wasn't even spoken to directly by the first wielder. He saw the same vision Izuku did of All For One forcing the stockpiling Quirk onto The First, and he once saw the shadowy images of the Vestiges, but that's it. He had to ask Nana what they were, and when Izuku stated that in his experience The First actually spoke to him, he had to inquire from Gran Torino if he had any more information at all from Nana on this. And as far as Torino knew, even Nana had only managed to get a brief "Its not yet the time."

Chapter 415:
ERIIIIIII-
Also, no chapter next week; new chapter by the week after.

It seems like we got another look at the guy in the suit who brought Tenko back home. I'm still convinced that he's going to be revealed as AFO.
