In chapter 423 of My Hero Academia, the final war reaches its climax. The previous chapter concluded the epic and long-lasting battle between One For All and All For One. After generations of conflict, Deku and Shigaraki finally put an end to the war.
Despite the excitement leading up to the final scene, the conclusion has received mixed responses from fans. The death of the series’ main villain, Shigaraki Tomura, has left a strange impression on viewers.
Chapter 424: What To Expect
Shigaraki’s Rushed Conclusion
Many had foreseen Shigaraki’s death in the story, so it did not come as a surprise. However, the way in which it was executed left the fandom feeling both confused and on the edge of their seats. In order to fully understand and justify the events of chapter 423 in My Hero Academia, we are in need of definitive answers.
Despite the final conversation between Deku and Shigaraki where they finally confront each other, Shigaraki’s supposed death left us feeling confused and underwhelmed. The battle’s anticlimactic end has left us wondering about Shigaraki’s ultimate fate.
If Shigaraki’s fate was truly to disintegrate into thin air and perish, it would be a lackluster conclusion to his story and would not properly honor his character. Unlike other major villains such as All For One, Dabi, and Toga who were given their own resolutions, Shigaraki was left without one, which is deeply disappointing.
Despite this, it is hoped that chapter 424 will provide a better explanation of Shigaraki’s story and properly showcase his character. Currently, the only logical conclusion is that Shigaraki has passed away. However, the events leading to his supposed death do not accurately represent his character.
Deku’s Potential Quirkless Future
Chapter 424 could potentially reveal the truth about Shigaraki and All for One’s fate. Additionally, it remains to be seen if Deku will remain quirkless for the remainder of the series and his lifetime.
Although Deku’s plan to forcefully transfer and weaponize One For All was successful, it ultimately left him quirkless. Despite there being no explicit mention or acknowledgement of his quirklessness, we can anticipate some answers in the next chapter.
One For All’s Fate
The death of One For All signifies the fulfillment of its purpose. One possible outcome is that the past users, having achieved salvation by defeating All For One, may no longer exist. The question remains as to whether the quirk of One For All will continue to exist.
At present, the most pressing question among fans is whether Deku will regain possession of One For All. While there is a chance he may recover his quirk, it is likely that he will lose the ability to see or interact with the previous users and their unique abilities. This outcome may actually be the preferable option.
If One For All’s purpose has been fulfilled, it is possible that the quirk will cease to exist. In such a scenario, the main question would be whether Deku will remain Quirkless and still achieve his dream of becoming a Pro Hero, or if he will retire from heroism after technically saving the world, which is considered the ultimate accomplishment for a hero.
Will Anything Change For Deku and Shigaraki?
Nevertheless, this conclusion could be considered overly idealistic and typical of a mainstream shonen series like My Hero Academia. The outcome for both Deku and Shigaraki will be revealed in the upcoming chapter. If Horikoshi chooses to continue with his current ending, it may result in another unsatisfying ending to an otherwise well-crafted story.
Despite all the uncertainty, one thing remains certain—the war has come to an end and the heroes have emerged victorious. We can anticipate emotional reunions between the young heroes and their loved ones, as well as numerous scenes of them in hospitals. After facing endless battles for two years straight, our heroes can finally find some peace, unless Horikoshi decides to put them through more challenges.
