My Hero Academia Chapter 427 Recap

The latest installment of My Hero Academia, chapter 427, opened with a news segment featuring Tomura Shigaraki. Viewers, including an old woman who had previously ignored him as a child, shared their thoughts on the notorious villain. Meanwhile, Deku paid a visit to Spinner and the two sat down in a room together. Initially, Spinner was upset with Deku, but his mood shifted when Deku revealed a message from Shigaraki. After confirming that the message was intended solely for him, Spinner was overcome with emotion thinking about Shigaraki’s death and life.

Spinner assumed his massive form and seized Deku with his fists, reminiscing about all the qualities he admired in Shigaraki as the individuals on the television continued to criticize him. Spinner even revealed that Shigaraki was his first ever friend, causing Deku to comment that Shigaraki believed he had to be a hero not just for himself, but for everyone. Spinner expressed regret for not doing everything in his power to rescue his friend, as he believed Shigaraki felt the same way about him.

As Spinner suggested writing a book about Shigaraki to ensure he is never forgotten, Deku agreed and proposed making it a comic book. He reassured Spinner that he would never forget Shigaraki. The focus then turned to Overhaul, who was being scolded by the former Shie Hassaikai boss for his actions upon waking from his coma. The episode concluded with Shoto and Bakugo interacting with the new first-year female students.

What to expect from My Hero Academia chapter 428 (speculative)

As My Hero Academia chapter 428 approaches and another task is checked off the epilogue to-do list, fans are left uncertain about what to anticipate in the upcoming issue. Unlike previous chapters, the conclusion of chapter 427 did not provide any hints on the direction the series will take next.

As chapter 427 centers on Deku’s visit to Spinner at the hospital and Overhaul’s appearance, it is likely that the focus will shift to Himiko Toga and Ochaco Uraraka in the next chapter. This could also explain Uraraka’s recent emotional turmoil, as Toga’s current condition may prevent Uraraka from finding closure in their complicated relationship.
