My Hero Academia Chapter 423 Spoilers: Bakugo Assists Deku in Reaching Shigaraki as All for One is Finally Defeated

The spoilers for chapter 423 of My Hero Academia were expected to showcase the aftermath of Deku’s punch on All For One. As anticipated, the spoilers for the upcoming manga chapter did not disappoint as they depicted All For One preparing to battle against One For All.

In the previous chapter, Deku attempted to confront All For One in battle. However, AFO was cautious of Deku and utilized various quirks to prevent him from reaching him. Fortunately, Deku’s companions intervened and shielded him from the attacks, allowing him to preserve his remaining energy from One For All. Eventually, Deku was able to successfully land a powerful punch on AFO.

The alleged My Hero Academia chapter 423 spoilers reveal that the upcoming chapter will be titled ‘One For All vs. All For One.’ The spoilers start with AFO, who expresses surprise at his failed attempt to regenerate. Additionally, the intense animosity from each hero has caused his Danger Sense to become muddled, thus concealing Deku’s location. This explains how Deku was able to successfully land a punch on him.

This served as evidence that All For One was severely fatigued, as his mental state was at its lowest point, particularly because of Yoichi’s supposed demise. Coincidentally, in My Hero Academia chapter 423 spoilers, Deku reminisced about All Might’s warning that One For All could overwhelm a frail body. As Deku had passed on the quirk to Shigaraki, AFO’s physical form begins to deteriorate.

Despite the heroes’ belief that the battle was over, AFO employs multiple quirks to prevent his defeat and persist in achieving his ultimate goal. His plan was to transfer the All For One quirk to Midoriya or another individual, similar to how he passed it on to Shigaraki Tomura. In chapter 423 of My Hero Academia, AFO makes his way towards Deku, only to be halted by the arrival of Kurogiri.

Shirakumo’s main priority was to safeguard Shigaraki Tomura, which led him to construct a portal connecting Deku and AFO. He approached AFO and pleaded for Shigaraki’s return, as his comrades were eagerly awaiting his arrival. As Kurogiri began to fade away, Katsuki Bakugo used his explosive abilities to propel Deku towards AFO. Despite being hospitalized, Bakugo was aided by Shoto who created an ice ramp to help him reach the battlefield.

Bakugo encouraged Deku to defeat AFO. Although Deku remained unwavering in his decision to never forgive the villain, he also acknowledged that AFO was not a completely incomprehensible monster or a demon lord. Deep down, he was just a lonely man.

In the spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 423, the focus shifted to the vestige world where AFO was witnessed talking to a flame resembling Yoichi. The last punch delivered by Midoriya to AFO resulted in the transfer of the remaining ember of OFA, containing Yoichi’s remnants. Despite this, AFO’s interest in the quirk had faded and he was now determined to see Yoichi’s true form.

Yoichi apologizes to AFO for not leading his brother in the right direction. Despite this, AFO insists that he will not allow the two brothers to rest, as he wants Yoichi by his side. As Midoriya prepares to attack, the hero is determined to make AFO’s wish a reality.

Despite this, Yoichi remained convinced that it was now the right moment for his brother to face the consequences of his actions. Soon after, the spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 423 revealed the emergence of all the OFA vestiges and Shigaraki from the darkness, as Deku and Tomura joined forces to strike AFO’s vestige. As the vestige vanished, Deku and Tomura’s hands made contact.

Tomura assured Deku that he was sure AFO would consume him, but at that moment, Nana Shimura’s vestige reached out to him, stopping his disappearance. With AFO’s vestige fading away, Shigaraki technically regained control of his body, but he was unable to cause any destruction as he was reduced to a crying child.

During the last moments of the battle, Deku explained to Shigaraki that his determination to keep fighting stemmed from both his inability to forgive Tomura and his desire to put an end to his destructive ways. In response, Tomura asked Deku to relay a message to Spinner, stating that he had fought until the bitter end in pursuit of destruction. Deku acknowledged that Tomura had succeeded in destroying what truly needed to be destroyed.

Subsequently, the spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 423 shifted back to the real world, where Shigaraki’s body disintegrated into dust. As a result, the rain ceased and the sun illuminated the battlefield.
