After much delay, My Hero Academia chapter 341 raw scans have been leaked on Twitter. Apparently, there was a delay with the release today, which led to much confusion amongst fans.
Additionally, there are conflicting spoilers. While the raw scans support the claims of Twitter users Myamura and Justixplode, other leakers have made some different claims, although unsupported. According to the raw scans, My Hero Academia chapter 341 focuses on the villains, especially Dabi and Toga.

My Hero Academia Chapter 341 focuses on the villains and their individual goals according to the raw scans
According to most sources, My Hero Academia chapter 341 is titled “The Story of How We All Became Heroes (Minus 1)”.
Recap of chapter 340
In chapter 340, the Central Hospital of Musutafu serves as the Anti-Liberation Front task force base. All Might explains that in order to secure victory, they must keep a distance of 10 km between Shigaraki and AFO at all times and isolate all high-ranking villains. The key to this is Aoyama.
Aizawa visits Aoyama, who has been kept in isolation. Aizawa understands that the only thing with which AFO controlled Aoyama is fear. The boy is still afraid that he will betray his friends even if they give him a chance. Aizawa blatantly tells him that his crimes will never be forgotten, and he might never have a place within U.A. again.
However, Aizawa implores that Aoyama must fight if he wants to change the situation. Aoyama wonders if he alone can bring about any change, but Aizawa assures him that he will walk this path with everyone else. At U.A. High, some general course students tell Hitoshi Shinsou, who appears in his new hero costume, that it is time.
My Hero Academia Chapter 341 raw scans
According to the raw scans, My Hero Academia chapter 341 starts with Toga returning to her childhood home. This might be a flashback, but it is not made clear in the raw scans. The house has evidence of Toga growing up in it all around. The chapter shows the terrible experience she had growing up in that house, with her parents always cursing at her. She climbs the stairs and lies down on her childhood bed, proclaiming:
“I want to be a little bird.”
Toga leaves the house, presumably, but she doesn’t get very far before Dabi, with his white hair, appears at her house. He says something and inspects the entire house, and then, jumping dramatically out of a window, sets fire to the house, which alerts Toga.
Dabi does this to set Toga completely free of her shackles, and further offers her a little bit of Twice’s blood, which he had nicked before Hawks had killed Twice. Toga smiles upon receiving it.
In the secret hideout of the villains, Shigaraki’s condition seems to have not gotten any better. Spinner is entrusted with him, as well as an important position in AFO’s plan. He is given a remote, whose function is as of yet unknown.
The last panel shows the remaining Nomus under AFO’s control. The Sludge Villain, who tried to capture and possess Bakugou back in chapter 1, is shown to be one of AFO’s subordinates.
Final thoughts
According to the raw scans, My Hero Academia chapter 341 clearly suggests that Toga will have an important role to play. She is featured on the cover of the chapter as well, and her dynamic with Dabi is almost sibling-like in this chapter. Some speculate that this sets her up for a tragic end, while others suggest that this foreshadows her killing Hawks.
The function of the remote that AFO entrusts to Spinner might be a decisive factor in upcoming battles. The return of the Sludge Villain has many people speculating if we will get a rematch with Bakugou.
However, unless the Sludge Villain has a hidden identity which is incredibly important, it seems unlikely that Horikoshi will make a big deal out of what seems to be a minor fight to the current Katsuki.
My Hero Academia chapter 341 will be available for free reading on Manga Plus and Viz after its official release on Sunday, January 23. There is a rumor that Horikoshi will be taking a creative break next week, although nothing can be said for certain until the official translation comes out.
