My Hero Academia chapter 376 confirmed release date, where to read, what to expect, and more

After an unexpected delay, My Hero Academia chapter 376 will release on Monday, December 26, at 12 am JST. The manga will go on a break the following week due to Shueisha’s upcoming Christmas publication.

While mangaka Horikoshi’s health is reportedly better, for now, the possibility of a long hiatus following the New Year publication break remains. While readers want a steady stream of chapters due to the ongoing cliffhangers, everyone agrees that Horikoshi’s health must come first.

Brief recap of My Hero Academia chapter 375: Toga and Uraraka’s battle

Chapter 375 focused on Toga and Uraraka’s battle on Okuto Island. Fighting Uraraka and Tsuyu gave Toga the motivation needed to plan her actions and think like a full-fledged villain. She enticed Tsuyu with a decoy and took a sample of her blood, which allowed her to impersonate the hero. Furthermore, her determination alerted Kurogiri of her presence and he came to her aid.

When Kurogiri opened a portal to the Gunga Mountains, Toga let loose the Sad Man’s Parade. Her primary objective was to kill Hawks but the prospect of aiding Dabi and wreaking havoc upon the heroes also spurred her on. Unwilling to accept defeat, Uraraka followed her with the help of Tsuyu. However, it is still unclear whether the one who went with her is the real Tsuyu or Toga’s impersonation.

Chapter 376 to focus on the battle in the Gunga Mountains

My Hero Academia chapter 376 is likely to focus on the multifaceted battle in the Gunga Mountains. It is unlikely that Uraraka will intervene in the fight between Dabi and Endeavor, but should Toga decide to go for Hawks, the hero will definitely step in. Given that Hawks is almost certain to stand between the two Todorokis, this has the potential to become a five-way fight.

Another question fans have regarding My Hero Academia chapter 376 is whether Shoto will reappear in Gunga Mountains. It would be unfortunate if all Shoto and Dabi’s fight led to was the latter simply changing venues and targets. Many readers have speculated that Iida might rush Shoto through the portal to aid Endeavor and Hawks and face Dabi one last time.

Additionally, My Hero Academia chapter 376 will receive a cover feature in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 4/5 and will contain the results of the latest Popularity Poll.
