My Hero Academia chapter 415 recap

My Hero Academia chapter 415 began with continued flashbacks of Deku and Shigaraki’s lives, with Yoichi Shigaraki theorizing that this is a result of resonance between the One For All and All For One Quirk Factors. He theorized that Kudo’s attack forced this resonance to a critical point, claiming that this fight and moment has been his purpose and the other Vestiges’. Shigaraki and Deku then clashed, with the latter seemingly landing a successful hit.

However, Shigaraki rejected the transfer of most of the Vestiges, with only En and his Smokescreen managing to slip through and successfully attack. The Vestiges discussed how it makes sense that a will strong enough to steal them could also reject them, even if En did manage to barely get through. They also interpreted this to mean victory is possible if they keep trying, as a confusing memory of a man in a suit walking into Tenko Shimura's home appeared.

As this happened, Shigaraki’s finger armor turned into an offensive tentacle-like weapon, surrounding Deku as a drone watched from nearby. This drone is revealed to be Mei Hatsume’s and restored visuals of Deku and Shigaraki’s fight as the floating U.A. is safely landed. The chapter ended with a focus on the U.A. evacuation shelter, where Ectoplasm chased after Eri after she was seemingly running away after watching Deku and Shigaraki’s fight on television.

With Tomura Shigaraki seemingly regaining the upper hand in their fight, My Hero Academia chapter 416 will cut away from the pair entirely in order to build suspense. Instead, the coming release should focus on Eri, explaining what she saw that moved her to tears and inspired her to seemingly run toward Deku and Shigaraki’s battlefield to help the former.

My Hero Academia chapter 416 should also focus on what Eri is thinking, explaining whether or not she fully grasps the situation she intends to throw herself headlong into. The issue will likely end with a brief return to Deku and Shigaraki’s fight, setting it up as the subsequent installment’s major focus.
