What to expect (speculative)

First and foremost, it’s unlikely that series author and illustrator Kohei Horikoshi will move away from the Kurogiri/Shirakumo plotline in any major way. The series has been building to this moment over the last few issues. It seems certain that My Hero Academia Chapter 373 will at least show fans Kurogiri/Shirakumo’s initial response and actions.

Assuming the issue sticks with this perspective, fans will most likely see Kurogiri/Shirakumo reminisce about their life to some degree. This may even develop into a Kurogiri flashback, fully detailing his origins as Shirakumo and how he was recruited by All For One and transformed into Kurogiri. This is something that would absolutely thrill fans.

If My Hero Academia Chapter 373 switches perspectives after showing Kurogiri/Shirakumo’s initial reactions, what comes next will likely depend on who Kurogiri/Shirakumo responds to.

If he responds to Spinner, fans will probably return to All For One versus Endeavor and Hawks. With Kurogiri having been rescued by Spinner, All For One is expected to reveal what he has been planning that centers around Kurogiri’s Quirk.

If he responds to Present Mic, fans will most likely jump to either Dabi versus Shoto, Izuku versus Shigaraki, or back to the UA High refugee center.

The former two would serve the purpose of shifting back to a more appealing and dramatic storyline. The latter path may be taken to show that even with Shirakumo returning in My Hero Academia Chapter 373, All For One has a backup plan in store centered around his UA infiltrators.
