The release date for chapter 419 of My Hero Academia has been announced as April 8, 2024. Additional pages from volume 40 of the series have been released, potentially uncovering the inspiration behind All Might’s famous pose.
After his intense battle with All for One in My Hero Academia season 3, the Symbol of Peace struck his iconic pose. The fight had been heavily one-sided, with All Might depleting all of his power while All for One possessed numerous stolen quirks to overpower him. However, justice ultimately prevailed as All Might unleashed his United States of Smash move, culminating in his iconic pose.
A user with the handle @MightyGazelle1, known as an “X”fan, recently shared a previously unreleased page from volume 40. This page unveiled the inspiration behind All Might’s iconic pose and has left fans emotional and in awe of the beauty behind it.

The Impact of All Might’s Iconic Pose on Fans of My Hero Academia
In chapter 403, All Might’s mother was finally unveiled as he prepared to share his origin story before All for One’s attempted attack. This chapter was significant as it also marked the return of Bakugo, who had been presumed dead by many fans.
The release date for Volume 40 of My Hero Academia was set for April 4, 2024. However, the additional pages for this volume have already been made available, including a page showcasing a young Toshinori (All Might) with his mother.

It was noticed by fans that the way she raised her hand in the air was reminiscent of All Might’s iconic pose after defeating All for One. This led to speculation that the hero’s mother could have been the inspiration behind the pose.
In addition, both volume 40 and chapter 403, titled ‘The End of an Era and…’, featured the first appearance of All Might’s mother, suggesting a potential influence on the hero’s career.
Fans brought to tears by the touching story behind All Might’s iconic pose
As anticipated, this announcement had an impact on the series’ fanbase, who expressed their thoughts on this X user’s tweet. While several were astounded by the additional page in volume 40, others speculated that All Might’s mother may have played a role in his decision to become a hero.
“All Might would be a mama’s boy. And I mean that as a complement.”
A fan offered a positive interpretation of the newest artwork featuring All Might’s mother, suggesting that the hero may have a strong bond with his mother and could be considered a “mama’s boy.”This theory holds weight as the author has yet to introduce any other family members of All Might aside from his mother.
“You can mock MHA for lots of things. But All Might’s characterisation isn’t one of them. Hori made an outstanding jog when it came to create a traditional hero – no gore or morally grey story – who still is one of the best characters in the series.”

During this moment, a different fan praised the Symbol of Peace and the way in which the author, Kohei Horikoshi, portrayed it. It is not unexpected that My Hero Academia may receive criticism from its fanbase or specific individuals. Nevertheless, we can confidently declare All Might as one of the most well-developed characters who is immune to criticism.
Similar to Izuku Midoriya, All Might was also born without any quirks. However, he was fortunate enough to encounter Nana Shimura, who bestowed upon him the power of One for All. This makes All Might the most powerful hero in the series, yet he never forgets his roots as a quirkless hero.
“THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY…..Lil Might must’ve been so inspired by her to be a hero before he even met Nana”

During a conversation with a fan, All Might’s story was compared to that of the series’ main character, Izuku Midoriya. Despite being told that he would never develop a quirk, Izuku’s mother remained his unwavering support and never allowed him to succumb to hopelessness. Similarly, it is possible that All Might’s own mother played a similar role in keeping him from falling into despair over not possessing a quirk.
“Sheesh almost 100k likes I ain’t know the fandom was this strong still”
As of the time this article was published, the post of the X user had almost reached 1 million views. One fan expressed doubts about the continued activity of the fandom for this series. However, it is possible that the hype surrounding the final arc, which has exceeded the expectations of every fan, is responsible for its enduring popularity.
