My Hero Academia chapter 383 reveals how Shinsou managed to control Gigantomachia

My Hero Academia chapter 383 begins with a flashback that explains how Kirishima and Shinsou showed up at Gunga with Gigantomachia. Back in Jaku, shortly after the Dabi-Shoto fight, the heroes faced a Crisis as Midnight’s killer started to make other villains float. He then used a device to project AFO’s voice loudly enough for Gigantomachia to hear it through the metal layers covering his ears.

Mount Lady, with the help of Yui Kodai, tried to subdue Machia before he woke up, but to no avail. Kirishima, meanwhile, remembered that they had transported Shinsou to Jaku for this exact situation, and went to retrieve the other boy from where he was dropped off.

However, there he saw that the Sludge Villain, who had accidentally found Shinsou shortly after Machia woke up, was trying to suffocate the boy.

Machia was disoriented and started to overpower Mount Lady when Mina used her “Maximum Output – Acidman: Alma” (as translated in the My Hero Academia chapter 383 spoilers) attack to melt off the giant’s fingers. This attack is formed around the idea of concentrating a quirk and then releasing it, similar to Bakugo and Todoroki’s ultimate moves. Mina seemed determined to protect the people important to her as she regrets not being able to do so in the Paranormal Liberation War.

She used the same attack to free Kirishima and Shinsou from the Sludge Villain. Mina tells Midnight’s Killer that while she adored her late teacher, she would not give in to the need for revenge. Her words on making herself stronger reached the villain, who remembered the inspiring words of Re Destro. Meanwhile, Shinsou had finished brainwashing the Sludge Villain and went on to use AFO’s voice to control Machia.

He ordered Machia to defeat all the villains in their vicinity. Kirishima apologized for not being of any help, but Mina replied that she had paid her debt. However, Kirishima reminded her that she had always been his hero. Machia had just finished defeating the villains when Mount Lady got the call informing her of AFO’s plans.

My Hero Academia chapter 383 then returns to the present, where Tsukauchi is relieved that his gamble paid off. Gigantomachia, Tokoyami, Mount Lady, Inasa, and many other heroes begin attacking AFO together, while many helicopters have also arrived at the scene.

Final thoughts

It can be assumed that other heroes have appeared at the scene on the helicopters. While the heroes’ primary goal is to keep AFO from escaping towards UA and Shigaraki, they would ultimately try to subdue the Demon Lord in Gunga. However, despite having so many strong powers at their disposal, Machia included, the heroes may yet come up lacking in an all-out battle against All For One.

In other news, the anime has been renewed for a seventh season.
