What can be expected from My Hero Academia chapter 340

According to the unofficial translation of My Hero Academia chapter 339, after Midoriya and Iida get modified costumes from Hatsume, they and the rest of Class 1-A move out of U.A. under the guidance of Mt. Lady. Preparations for the war are over and pro heroes everywhere gear up for this fight.

Amidst worries about Aoyama, Class 1-A moves out while keeping Midoriya in the center. Meanwhile, All Might and Hawks report at U.A that preparations for their backup plan are also complete.

Considering that this backup plan is likely Aizawa’s plan from chapter 338, a further elaboration may be expected in My Hero Academia chapter 340.

Another meeting with the vestiges of OFA, especially the second and third user, might also be expected since Midoriya had mentioned that he needed to enhance all of OFA’s Quirks.

With the final war about to begin, many confrontations are about to take place. Chief amongst them is Dabi’s clash with Todoroki Shouto and Endeavor, which might be featured in My Hero Academia chapter 340.

Final thoughts

In all likelihood, My Hero Academia chapter 340 will be an action-packed chapter with the plot moving along rapidly. Since Horikoshi has announced that My Hero Academia manga will be coming to an end within the year, there are too many plot points to wrap up and too few chapters to do so.

With My Hero Academia chapter 340 beginning what All Might called the “Second War,” readers will have to get ready for a faster pacing. Hopefully, My Hero Academia chapter 340 will be coming out on time without any delay, but it can only be confirmed once chapter 339 officially comes out.
