Despite the anticipation of fans, the availability of verifiable spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 422 remains unknown at the time of this article’s writing. Furthermore, the current anti-manga piracy efforts in Japan have raised concerns about the future of spoiler processes for both mangaka Kohei Horikoshi’s series and other works in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Recap of My Hero Academia Chapter 421

The newest installment of My Hero Academia, chapter 421, opened with Deku receiving assistance from a group of his classmates from Class 1-A. Shoji, Kirishima, Mina, Aoyama, Hagakure, Momo, Kaminari, Jiro, Asui, and Mineta all arrived to support him. All For One, in the absence of Yoichi, expressed his indifference towards this world and claimed that true strength is born from tragedy. His appearance then transformed into a grotesque form. However, Sero challenged this belief as Shoto and Endeavor intervened and began attacking All For One.

Sero used his tape to swiftly rescue them from danger, while Present Mic suddenly appeared and announced to all the Pro Heroes that this would be their final mission as heroes. All For One coldly remarked that he felt nothing despite the numerous injured heroes before him, claiming they were nothing without All Might. He then launched a powerful attack that left many heroes overwhelmed, causing Deku to desperately try to rejoin the fight.

Despite his arm still regenerating, it is revealed that the rewind did not reverse any other damage caused by the fight. Deku then confesses that he relinquished One For All, but retains its residual power like All Might did in Kamino. Aizawa then offers Deku some bandages and a collectible All Might t-shirt, which Deku immediately recognizes. The chapter concludes with Aoyama grabbing Deku’s hand and running towards All For One together.

What to Expect in My Hero Academia Chapter 422 (Speculative)

It is evident from the series that Deku’s last attack with One For All is approaching, making My Hero Academia chapter 422 a possible conclusion to the battle with All For One. As the Quirk has been destroyed and Deku now holds its remaining sparks, readers can anticipate this to be the last instance of One For All being utilized in the series.

Despite this, it is highly probable that chapter 422 will witness the reappearance of One For All in some form. This could be due to Shigaraki currently possessing it or Aizawa underestimating the power of Rewind. Regardless of the method, whether through these means or others, it seems inevitable that Deku will regain One For All by the conclusion of the series.
