Released on March 5, 2023, My Hero Academia chapter 382 saw Hitoshi Shinso return in an exciting and meaningful way. His reappearance has been one of the most highly anticipated aspects of the Final War arc, and this chapter rewarded fans greatly for their patience.
My Hero Academia chapter 382 also sees Himiko Toga’s sanity slowly slipping away as she is forced to confront her true emotions regarding the League of Villains members. Likewise, her constantly trying to emulate and keep the spirit of Jin Bubaigawara, also known as Twice, alive is shown to be forcing her sanity to slip away slowly.
In the meantime, fans are also shown the continuation of Fumikage Tokoyami versus All For One, where a shocking revelation is made regarding the latter’s current status.
My Hero Academia chapter 382 seemingly sets the Gunga battlefield down its home stretch to conclusivity
My Hero Academia chapter 382: A startling development
My Hero Academia chapter 382 begins with All For One and Hawks noticing something about the battle. For the latter, he realizes that the current situation isn’t the worst, while All For One thinks that the current situation isn’t the best. Moreover, both are revealed to have realized that Himiko Toga could clone Dabi, Tomura Shigaraki, and All For One.
She begins doing so as they realize this, with a Tomura clone trying to use its Decay Quirk on the ground itself. However, the clone is unable to use the Quirk, seemingly shocked at this revelation. The chapter then shifts perspectives to Tsuyu Asui, who tells Ochaco Uraraka and another Pro Hero that the current chaos isn’t the worst-case scenario.
My Hero Academia chapter 382 then sees Tsuyu explain to Ocacho what both All For One and Hawks just realized. However, unlike the two leaders on the Gunga battlefield, she correctly deduces that Toga not having done so means there’s a reason why she hasn’t. She then says that it might be something they can use to their advantage.
Tsuyu then discusses how the real Twice’s clones could use the Quirks of their originals without issue. However, Toga’s transformations restrict her Quirk usage only to those of the people she loves. Tsuyu correctly deduces that this property is transitive, with her own Quirk’s restriction bleeding into those created by her Transform and Double combo.
My Hero Academia chapter 382 sees her conclude that, while the current situation suggests she doesn’t love Shigaraki or the others enough, the high stakes of the battlefield could change this. Tsuyu and Ochaco then dedicate themselves to finding the real Toga before this could happen, hopefully preventing the true worst-case scenario.
Meanwhile, the villain remembers Dabi’s words about keeping Twice’s Sad Man’s Parade marching onward, stressing that she can’t get the clones to use Dabi or Tomura’s Quirks. Toga says that she loves them, but it still didn’t work in her pre-battle tests. She is then seen seemingly losing her sanity as she tells herself that Twice could’ve used their Quirks, questioning why she can’t become like him.
My Hero Academia chapter 382: An impactful return
As this focus on Toga plays out, the Twice clones are seen chanting that every hero has to die. My Hero Academia chapter 382 then shifts back to Ochaco, who spots Toga as she says she loves seeing people happy. She says that for this reason, she’s unable to ignore Toga’s tears, with her being seen crying as a clone of Twice.
The chapter then shifts perspective to a fight between Fumikage Tokoyami and All For One, where Hawks is encouraging his protege to keep going. He reminds Tokoyami that while All For One may be physically invincible, he’s on a timer since Endeavor has already defeated him once. Hawks optimistically says that they can win if they keep it up, while Kyoka Jiro, Camie Utsushimi, and Inasa Yoarashi all support Tokoyami and Dark Shadow however they can.
However, My Hero Academia chapter 382 sees a massive explosion go off, forcing Dark Shadow to stop attacking temporarily. All For One comments on how the strong are always the most troublesome before being revealed to have reverted to a teenager-like appearance. Tokoyami is shown to be somewhat shaken by this new appearance, which All For One takes advantage of by flying away.
Tokoyami and Inasa chase after All For One, but Gigantomachia suddenly appears on the horizon. The narrator comments on how the situation was now the best it could be for All For One. However, he contradicts himself after All For One orders Machia to finish off the Heroes.
Hawks tells Tsukauchi they have managed to avoid the worst-case scenario when Machia suddenly throws a mountain at All For One. In its final panels, My Hero Academia chapter 382 reveals that Eijiro Kirishima and Hitoshi Shinso are riding atop Machia. Shinso, with his Persona Chords equipped, has seemingly tricked Machia into being brainwashed, removing All For One’s last trick from his sleeve.
My Hero Academia chapter 382: In summation
My Hero Academia chapter 382 is an exciting installment that begins to wrap up the battle at the Gunga mountain villa ruins. With All For One beginning to rewind to his teenage years and Gigantomachia unable to help him, the Demon Lord seems to be out of options and surrounded on all sides.
Meanwhile, Himiko Toga’s apparent descent into insanity due to her obsession with Jin Bubaigawara is likely setting up the undoing of all the Twice clones she made. Unless Ochaco Uraraka is able to calm her down and convince her to get rid of the clones, this would all but confirm the Pro Heroes’ victory.
