It was known that Toga had saved Uraraka by giving her blood, leaving readers to wonder if she herself had survived. However, the latest chapter has now confirmed that she did not.

It was no surprise to most My Hero Academia fans that Himiko Toga’s fate was as predicted, considering the foreshadowing by author Kohei Horikoshi in recent chapters.

My Hero Academia Chapter 429 Reveals the Fate of Himiko Toga and Its Implications for the Series

In the latest My Hero Academia Chapter 429 spoilers, Ochaco Uraraka disclosed to Izuku Midoriya that Toga passed away after selflessly donating her blood to save Ochako during the Final War arc. Despite speculation among readers, the official confirmation of Toga’s fate was still unexpected and disappointing for many fans who had hoped for a proper send-off.

In the last moments of the manga, Toga’s inner thoughts revealed that she had lived her life on her own terms. However, it was unclear if she had survived the arc. In chapter 428, Uraraka’s emotional breakdown and tears over Toga’s memory seemed to confirm that she had passed away during their battle due to the blood transfusion.

Despite receiving criticism for the absence of deaths in his manga, author Kohei Horikoshi has addressed this issue by introducing Toga’s death. This event has added a sense of urgency and risk to the recent developments in the story. Furthermore, it has added a tragic layer to Toga’s character as she was unable to achieve the redemption she desired and ultimately sacrificed herself to save the one hero who saw her as more than just a villain.

Despite being a member of the League of Villains, Himiko Toga remains one of the most tragic characters in My Hero Academia. Her story serves as a poignant example of the harsh realities of Quirk society, as she was rejected from a young age due to her blood-related Quirk. Instead of her parents supporting and helping her find a way to peacefully coexist with her abilities, she faced rejection and ultimately turned to a life of villainy.

Her endearing personality and dynamic relationships with characters such as Tomura Shigaraki, Twice, Dabi, and others earned her a special place in the hearts of the fandom. Her rivalry with Ochaco Uraraka was a highlight for many fans, making their final battle and recent conclusion all the more impactful due to its contribution to her tragic story.

Despite being comparable to other villains, she shared a similarity with Twice in that she was not as malevolent as Shigaraki, Dabi, or All For One, yet still met a tragic fate.

Concluding Remarks

The fate of Himiko Toga was officially revealed in chapter 429 of My Hero Academia, confirming what many fans had already predicted after the events of chapter 428. This conclusion not only seemed most appropriate for Toga, but also added a tragic element to both her and Ochaco Uraraka’s story.
