Readers are captivated by the latest developments in My Hero Academia chapter 418

In My Hero Academia chapter 418, Deku was present as Tenko, also known as the villain Tomura Shigaraki, began to awaken his Decay quirk. As he reached out towards an innocent boy, Deku realized it was too late as Tenko had already used his power to kill his own dog.

After some time, Tenko’s sister emerged from the house and saw Tenko in disarray with a lifeless dog beside him. Tenko rushed towards her as he had done before, but Deku intervened and prevented Tenko from reaching his sister. Deku selflessly allowed his own body to decay.

In the state of frenzy, Shigaraki questioned why Deku would get involved, and the hero responded with tears in his eyes that he couldn’t resist because he saw Shigaraki crying. Tenko’s emotions resonated in Deku’s mind, which continuously reminded him that this was his fate.

Deku came to the realization that Tenko’s intense hatred may be beyond his ability to neutralize. He feared he would be defeated by Tenko, until a memory of Uraraka holding his hand during the Dark Deku arc resurfaced. The story then transitioned to a flashback of Tenko happily playing a game with his friends, pretending to be All Might. This brought a radiant smile to his face.

As soon as he began to envision himself as All Might, he was brought back to reality. Nevertheless, there was still a glimmer of hope, as Shigaraki expressed a desire for redemption. In the midst of this realization, he was flooded with memories of a peculiar individual having a conversation with his father, Kotaro Shimura. This individual seemed oddly intrigued by Shigaraki and continuously inquired about his quirk manifestation from his father.

As the final panel of the chapter approached, a towering All for One consumed Shigaraki, who sought redemption. The immense entity humiliated Shigaraki and tossed Deku aside, resetting the protagonist’s journey to rescue Tenko to its starting point.

The X user was particularly impressed by the unique art style of certain panels in the chapter. They also praised the final panel, which effectively showcased the grandeur of All for One as a villain.

Fans discuss their reactions to My Hero Academia chapter 418

As usual, fans engaged in a constructive conversation regarding the validity of this X user’s opinion. While some fans concurred with the X user’s perspective, others shared their experience of having stopped reading the series a few chapters back and how catching up to it made the latest chapter even more enjoyable.

“Im so glad Deku said the line to Shigaraki, so beautiful”

A particular fan paid close attention to the dialogue spoken by Deku to Shigaraki. This occurred during the Dark Deku arc when Uraraka reached out to him as he contemplated sacrificing everything. The exchange concluded with Deku declaring, “That’s why I am here,”possibly influenced by his idol All Might.

This conversation carries significant weight from the beginning of the series, as Izuku witnesses All Might’s video of him rescuing individuals from an assault and declares, “I am here.”It is impressive that Kohei Horikoshi continues to emphasize the origins of his manga, even in the concluding arc.

“I took a break from reading manga in general so i was like 10 chapters behind and catching up to this part was really beautiful, i feel the same as i did when i first started mha”

A different fan recounted their experience of catching up to the manga after leaving it a few chapters ago. They described it as a wonderful experience, comparable to when they first started reading the series. This speaks volumes about the quality of storytelling and depiction in chapter 418.

“Same, these past like 25-30 chapters have been so good”

The fan expressed their delight in the latest chapters of My Hero Academia, stating that the series is reaching its conclusion and that the current content is the pinnacle of the story thus far.

“But we ask for two things and that’s how we are happy. 1. Shigaraki not killing afo would be a horrible point 2. Dabi, toga, Spinner must stay dead”

Finally, a fan had a thought-provoking idea and made a request for two things. Firstly, they suggested that Shigaraki should kill All for One, as it would be detrimental to the story if the villain was spared at this crucial point. This reasoning is valid as an invincible antagonist would diminish the impact of the hero-villain dynamic, and My Hero Academia could potentially witness the ultimate demise of its greatest foe in the concluding arc.

The second task was to verify the deaths of certain villains, which may have been uncertain. This responsibility falls solely on the author, as the antagonists in My Hero Academia were once aspiring heroes who were forced down a darker path in life.

The release date and time for My Hero Academia chapter 419.
