Chapter 384 recap
My Hero Academia chapter 384 began with Gigantomachia attacking All For One, still under Shinso’s control at this point. Unexpectedly, All For One then used a shock to break Shinso’s control over Machia, with Machia then recognizing his true master. However, Machia shockingly then asked All For One why he was left behind, with Hawks and others realizing that this wasn’t due to Shinso’s brainwashing.
A flashback of the two parting ways was then shown, with Machia sobbing as he remembers this. Shinso explained that Machia showed resistance to his Quirk on the way over, elaborating that the latter was angrily muttering about All For One on the journey. Machia then began fighting All For One of his own volition, prompting the issue to shift perspectives.
Chapter 384 then showed several news reporters heading to the scene, all of whom have a connection to Midoriya or the Pro Heroes fighting in some way. They claim it’s their duty to show the world this fight, with the livestream of Gentle Criminal rapidly growing in viewership. The issue ended by canonizing several movie characters, showing them all to be watching what’s unfolding in Japan via various means.
What to expect (speculative)
My Hero Academia chapter 385 is almost certainly going to start with a focus on All For One, whose situation has only worsened since Machia's revolt. Likewise, the situation is now truly inescapable, with the Demon Lord seemingly having no escape options left. However, stealing a Quirk such as Dark Shadow or Hawks' Wings is still an option.
Stealing such a fast, high-powered Quirk as those mentioned above would allow All For One to slip between his opposition’s attacks with proper speed and agility. Fans are likewise somewhat concerned, with many expecting All For One to make such a move or one similar in the coming issues.
My Hero Academia chapter 385 could also choose to keep viewers guessing by focusing on Midoriya and Shigaraki's fight. While one would assume a switch in focus means All For One is done for, this wouldn’t be a foregone conclusion. The final arc’s ultimate battle is truly beginning to heat up, and tensions are rising as both All For One and Shigaraki reach similar levels of desperation.
