Chapter 385 recap

My Hero Academia chapter 385 began with a quick map highlighting the state of the Gunga Mountain battle before honing in on All For One’s fight. Here, fans saw Mt. Lady, Gigantomachia, and Dark Shadow being eliminated by All For One in succession. Readers also saw that the villain's body was severely damaged, more so than Shigaraki was after the attacks from Star and Stripe’s fighter jet allies.

The remaining Pro Heroes tried to rally against All For One but were quickly defeated. All For One was then seen stealing Hawks’ Quirk while declaring his intention to steal Tokoyami’s as well.

Minoru Mineta’s intervention showed All For One how he couldn’t afford to waste time. The villain departed just as the U.A. infiltrators began making their moves.

Thankfully, the mole was found just in time, with a returning Death Arms saving the only would-be casualty of their actions. After explaining how his body moved on its own while watching the fight and thinking of Midoriya, the issue ended by shifting perspectives to Kamino Ward. Here, fans saw Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Iida talking about how the fight isn’t over, with Stain being in the final panel.

What to expect (speculative)

Given how chaotically unpredictable the series’ landscape is following the previous issue, it’s difficult to predict exactly what My Hero Academia chapter 386 will cover. Fans can expect one of three major focuses: either a continued focus on Stain or a shift in perspective to All For One himself/Tomura Shigaraki versus Izuku Midoriya.

A continued focus on Stain in My Hero Academia chapter 386 will likely herald a sustained one for a few issues. A focus on All For One, meanwhile, could be the start of a flashback for the Demon Lord. Finally, the chapter could turn to Shigaraki versus Midoriya to show what the two are doing ahead of All For One’s imminent arrival, with him undoubtedly heading to their location.
