My Hero Academia chapter 412: In summation
While My Hero Academia chapter 412’s conclusion is obviously its major highlight, the issue as a whole is nevertheless of an exceptionally high quality. The chapter also does a great job of showing how worn down Deku is, which may play into whatever Kudo’s strategy is that involves “letting go” of One For All.
The issue also does a good job of further emphasizing that Shigaraki is unredeemable at this moment, even forcing Deku himself to acknowledge this. While it’s more likely than not that Shigaraki will be redeemed by the series’ end, this suspense and buildup is nevertheless welcome.
