With My Hero Academia chapter 390’s unofficial release process set to begin sometime in the next 24 hours, fans are incredibly excited to learn what’s in store for them. Although the series author and illustrator Kohei Horikoshi has made some mistakes in the final arc thus far, fans have been exceptionally pleased with the series as of late.

One of the main reasons for this is probably the focus on the Todoroki family drama, which is most likely going to be the primary subject of My Hero Academia chapter 390. This is especially true considering that the previous issue ended with Shoto seemingly set to imminently join the rest of his family at Dabi’s current location.

However, fans are exceptionally curious as to what exactly will occur once Shoto arrives on the scene. In any case, there are a few major spoilers fans can expect in the upcoming issue.


My Hero Academia chapter 390 likely to see Shoto arrive at Gunga, successfully save Dabi and stop explosion

My Hero Academia chapter 390 will likely begin with a focus on Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Iida, who are currently on their way to Dabi at the Gunga battlefield. Fans will most probably see Shoto muse on his interactions with Dabi over the course of the series’ events, as well as question how he could possibly stop him.

With Shoto having been seen activating his Flashfire Fist: Phosphor move in the final panels of chapter 389, fans will likely see the buildup to him activating this move. The perspective will then perhaps shift back to Dabi and the rest of the Todorokis, where they’ll express concern that there’s no hope of stopping the explosion or Dabi.

This might create the ideal entrance for Shoto in My Hero Academia chapter 390, allowing him to heroically save his family while also leaving a lasting impression on fans. Once Shoto arrives at Gunga, he’ll likely be all business in terms of restraining Dabi and stopping the explosion. Having arguably the least personal connection to Toya/Dabi out of his entire family, such a reaction from Shoto also makes sense.

As for what comes after this, it’s quite hard to say. Horikoshi can go about Dabi’s allegedly imminent explosion in a number of unique ways. For example, there are plenty of fan theories about how Dabi can still explode, but survive and be reborn as a childhood or even adulthood Toya.

Horikoshi could also mark My Hero Academia chapter 390 as Dabi’s death chapter. While a majority of the fandom agrees that this isn’t the best way to go about concluding Dabi’s character arc, it’s nevertheless a path that Horikoshi could possibly take. As far as fans know, it’s even possible that Shoto will somehow be able to stop Dabi from exploding in the first place.

In any case, exactly how the upcoming issue will progress beyond its opening pages is something of a mystery at the time of this article’s writing. At the very least, it will be very interesting and exciting to see how Horikoshi concludes both Dabi's character arc and the Todoroki family drama.
