Recap of My Hero Academia Chapter 425

The U.A. third-years’ graduation ceremony kicked off in chapter 425 of My Hero Academia, with Tamaki Amajiki and Nejire Hado being the first to receive their diplomas. Deku also noted that it was June already and spoke about the success of the rebuild efforts. He praised Principal Nezu for his global recognition and constant focus on preparing for the post-battle future.

After Sir Nighteye’s passing, Mirio Togata stepped onto the stage and delivered a moving speech, paying tribute to his mentor and reiterating their shared belief in transforming negatives into positives instead of settling for neutrality. As his words came to a close, he lightened the mood with a comedic gesture that resonated with the audience, who then turned their attention to Class A, now known as Class 2-A. It was also announced that Aoyama would be departing from U.A., with Hitoshi Shinso taking his spot in Class A.

Mawata Fuwa, a recently promoted third-year student in the Hero Course, arrived and announced her role as the leader of the second- and third-year students in their efforts to restore the city and combat the increasing crime rates. As the school day came to an end, Deku noticed Uraraka’s cheerful attitude but still seemed worried about her. Meanwhile, Shoto declined an invitation to a party, stating that he had other important responsibilities to attend to. The scene ended with Endeavor sitting in front of a massive machine.

Possible developments in My Hero Academia chapter 426 (speculative)

It may still be a while before fans discover the focus of My Hero Academia chapter 426, but it is certain that it will address Endeavor’s current actions. As a result, some information about Toya Todoroki, also known as Dabi, and his fate after the final war is expected to be revealed.

In addition, viewers can anticipate the appearance of the rest of the Todoroki family in the upcoming release, as well as flashbacks delving into their actions and whether they have truly reconciled as a family after the final war. This focus on their family dynamics will be interspersed throughout the release.
