My Hero Academia chapter 421: Release date and time, what to expect, and more

My Hero Academia chapter 421 is set to release on Monday, April 29, 2024, at 12 AM JST, according to the series’ official page on the MANGA Plus platform. As even more of Deku’s classmates arrive to support him while Eri’s Quirk heals him, fans are more nervous than ever for the ultimate safety of these “side characters.”

However, fans will be left guessing for quite some time, with verifiable spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 421 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 420 recap

Expand Tweet

My Hero Academia chapter 420 began with Aizawa, Present Mic, and Kurogiri being brought to a small island off the coast of Japan. Mic began attacking Kurogiri here but stopped upon realizing that he was crying. Mic and Aizawa then discussed the Tartarus incident, asserting that while Kurogiri will never go away to let Shirakumo come back, the two are blending. Kurogiri then stood up and said Mic’s name, with part of Shirakumo’s face reappearing again.

Aizawa then got in touch with Tsukauchi, asking if Monoma could still fight. After learning he couldn’t, Aizawa went to the U.A. shelter to recruit heroes to bring to Deku’s fight. Focus then shifted to the Takoba arena, where several Class 1-A and Class 1-B students were fighting a villain named Gashly. The focus then returned to the present, where several Warp Gates were seen appearing in the area all around All For One.

Upon reaching Deku, Aizawa asked him how long it had been since he lost his arms, then revealed Eri’s horn. A short flashback showed that she cut her horn off since she wasn’t allowed to go to the battle herself, but she still wanted to help someone. Aizawa then stabbed Deku with her horn, causing his arms to begin regenerating. The chapter ended with several U.A. students and heroes appearing in the present, including Kaminari, Yaoyorozu, Mineta, Koda, and Shoji.

My Hero Academia chapter 421 what to expect (speculative)

Following the appearance of significant backup for Deku, My Hero Academia chapter 421 should see all those who appeared working together to overwhelm and occupy All For One. Their goal will likely be revealed as betting on Deku’s Quirks coming back to him via Rewind while looking to occupy TomurAFO’s time until Deku can get back into the fight.

That being said, chapter 421 will almost certainly establish that sacrifices will need to be made even just to buy time against All For One, let alone defeat him. While this will likely be some miscellaneous Pro Hero, Deku may see one of his own classmates and friends get gravely injured or worse.
