My Hero Academia Chapter 421: Deku Becomes the New Symbol of Peace for the World

Despite his retirement as a Pro Hero, All Might remained a Symbol of Peace and a Pillar of Hope for people all over the world. His unmatched strength, charisma, and reassuring smile made him the greatest Hero to ever exist, providing comfort and hope even in the most dire of circumstances.

After entrusting his One For All Quirk to Izuku Midoriya, also known as Deku, All Might dedicated himself to training him as his successor and preparing him to take on the role of the new Symbol of Peace for the world. Despite numerous obstacles, such as facing betrayal from those he sought to protect, Deku has ultimately fulfilled his destiny and assumed the position of the new Symbol of Peace in My Hero Academia chapter 421.

Throughout his entire journey as a Pro Hero, All Might continuously pushed himself to the brink in order to become the one and only Symbol of Peace for the entire world, instilling a sense of security within people. Despite risking both his career and life, he triumphed over the seemingly invincible All For One not once, but twice, ultimately bringing an end to his tyrannical rule and saving countless lives, even if it was only temporary.

Following All Might’s retirement, the Hero society and the entire world quickly took a turn for the worse. The absence of their Symbol of Peace left people feeling hopeless and despondent as the Paranormal Liberation War destroyed the foundations of the Hero society.

Despite having his life targeted by All For One and facing rejection from those he worked to protect, things took a positive turn for Deku in the recent chapters of My Hero Academia as he began to gain the belief and support of others.

Witnessing his complete determination and willingness to risk his own life and abilities in order to save his greatest foe served as a powerful inspiration for countless individuals, as evidenced by the fervent chants of his name in the leaked chapter 421 spoilers. Deku had now gained the support and encouragement of the masses, who were eagerly anticipating his victory and the restoration of hope to a world that had been left desolate by All Might’s retirement as the Symbol of Peace.

Throughout the recent chapters, Deku has not only motivated his peers to persevere in battle, but also reignited the long-forgotten optimism within the Hero community through his unwavering courage and determination, mirroring that of his own role model, All Might.

Therefore, Deku has officially taken on the role of the world’s new Symbol of Peace and Pillar of Hope, as his unwavering determination continues to inspire countless individuals around the globe.
