My Hero Academia chapter 420: Release date and time, what to expect, and more

My Hero Academia chapter 420 is set to release on Monday, April 15, 2024, at 12AM JST, according to the series’ official page on the MANGA Plus platform. With TomurAFO’s return officially confirmed, fans are curious to see what Aizawa, Sero, and the others who’ve shown up to save Deku can actually do against what’s likely the series’ final villain.

However, fans will be left guessing for quite some time as verifiable spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 420 are unavailable, as of this article’s writing. Likewise, recent anti-manga piracy activity within Japan has cast doubts on the future of spoiler processes for both mangaka Kohei Horikoshi’s original series and others in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Thanks to MANGA Plus, however, fans do at least have a confirmed release date and time for the coming issue, as well as a free way to support the official release by using the platform.

My Hero Academia chapter 419 recap

Expand Tweet

My Hero Academia chapter 419 began with All For One criticizing Deku for sacrificing Yoichi, but thanking him for creating the opportunity that allowed his consciousness to regain control. All For One then told Shigaraki that all of the choices the latter has made have actually been those of the former.

He then revealed that, as All Might rose in power, All For One convinced Kotaro Shimura to have Tenko. He then removed his Quirk, had it modified by Kyodai Garaki, and then returned it to Tenko as Decay. In other words, he’s responsible for Tenko’s horrifying actions.

After revealing this, Shigaraki’s spirit was shown decaying completely, with All For One purging his soul as Deku was thrown out of the dreamscape world. In the real world, TomurAFO lamented Yoichi’s disappearance before commenting on how the spiritual damage affected Shigaraki’s real body. Deku then called out to All For One, who responded by saying he’d move on to world domination. Deku tried to get up and fight him but was unable to.

It’s then revealed that Deku’s arms really did Decay away, leaving him armless. However, he still tries to fight on, prompting All For One to prepare to kill him. Suddenly, Hanta Sero, Mashirao Ojiro, and Rikido Sato appeared, saving Deku’s life. The chapter then ended with the appearance of Shota Aizawa as well, who stepped through a Warp Gate portal and apologized for being a little late.

With All For One having taken over Shigaraki’s body yet again, it’s presumed My Hero Academia chapter 420 will see Aizawa and co-reveal some sort of plan for dealing with TomurAFO. Fans should also get some explanation of how Aizawa survived, and how he seemingly convinced Kurogiri to come to their side and help them.

Chapter 420 should also bounce around to various peoples’ reactions to Deku’s injuries, specifically those of All Might and his mom Inko Midoriya. Fans are also likely to see other Class 1-A students watching the fight react, possibly even being inspired to help Sero and the others in their efforts to save Deku and defeat TomurAFO.
