The scars of war run deep. As My Hero Academia chapter 424 looms on the horizon, the heroes emerge battered but resolute from the crucible of the Final War arc.

The battles that once threatened the very fabric of Japan finally subsided in chapter 423, leaving behind a nation in ruins and heroes grappling with the weight of sacrifice.

But with victory comes uncertainty. What will become of Izuku “Deku” Midoriya and his Class 1-A comrades as they navigate the harsh realities of a post-war world?

And what fate awaits the series’ villains, the enigmatic All for One and the monstrous Shigaraki Tomura?

Chapter 424 promises to be a pivotal turning point. Could it mark the conclusion of Kohei Horikoshi’s critically acclaimed My Hero Academia saga, or will it usher in a new era for heroes and villains alike?

Chapter 423, titled “One for All versus All for One,” delivered an epic showdown. Fueled by the support of his Class 1-A comrades and wielding the combined power of all nine previous One for All users, Deku pushed his limits to the brink.

Deku’s relentless assault brought Shigaraki, now a mere vessel for All for One, to the verge of collapse.

Desperate to survive, All for One sought to possess another host and continue his twisted dream of world domination through a quirk transfer. However, the tide turned with a crucial assist from the reformed nomu, Kurogiri (formerly Oboro Shirakumo).

He teleported a heavily injured Katsuki Bakugo, who delivered a decisive blow that weakened All for One significantly.

With the last vestiges of his power fading, Deku managed to land the final strike, vanquishing the remnants of All for One. Though severely weakened, Deku had secured victory for the heroes.

In a twist, Shigaraki, regaining control of his crumbling body in the aftermath, shared a final conversation with Deku. Consumed by a desire to be remembered as a destroyer, he was forced to confront the reality of his failure — he hadn’t destroyed anything.
