Why Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki are My Hero Academia’s Origin Trio in chapter 423 spoilers

Despite its official release date of Monday, May 20, 2024, My Hero Academia chapter 423 faced spoilers being leaked online days before its publication. These spoilers revealed all the events that would take place in the highly anticipated chapter.

Although the manga initially presented Mirio Togata, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado as the Big Three of Class 3 at U.A. High School, the events revealed in the spoilers for chapter 423 of My Hero Academia show that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki are the true main trio, also known as the Origin trio in the series.

This article includes spoilers from the manga of My Hero Academia.

How My Hero Academia Proved the Origin Trio of Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki

In every manga series, the main trio plays a vital role in defeating the main antagonist. Although protagonist Izuku Midoriya ultimately faced off against Shigaraki Tomura and All For One, the series’ deuteragonist and tritagonist also played a significant part in supporting him during the final battle.

Despite Kurogiri’s attempt to save Shigaraki Tomura by opposing All For One in My Hero Academia chapter 423 spoilers, Deku was unable to land a punch on the villain due to being too far away when Kurogiri started disappearing.

At that moment, Katsuki Bakugo suddenly materialized and used his explosions to launch Deku towards All For One. Despite the fact that the deuteragonist was supposed to be hospitalized, the tritagonist, Shoto Todoroki, aided him in reaching the battlefield by constructing an ice ramp.

Upon reaching All For One, Deku joined forces with Shigaraki Tomura and the One For All vestiges inside the vestige world to defeat the villain. As a result, Shigaraki Tomura’s body disintegrated in the real world, indicating the demise of both All For One and Tenko Shimura.

Based on this progression, it can be concluded that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki make up the Origin trio in the series. This is evident from their united front against All For One in the finale, with each character’s contribution reflecting their significance in the overall story.

Despite being the protagonist, Deku was not the only one in the spotlight during the defeat of the villain. Bakugo, the deuteragonist, played a crucial role in supporting Deku in the final moments and also received recognition for his efforts. Similarly, Shoto Todoroki, the series’ tritagonist, played a supporting role in the shadows as he aided both Deku and Bakugo in defeating the antagonist.

It is undeniable that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki were the primary trio in the series. It should also be noted that, apart from Shigaraki Tomura (Tenko Shimura), only the characters from this trio had their own “Origin”chapters in the manga. With the recent events revealed in My Hero Academia chapter 423 spoilers, it is clear that Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki hold the title of the series’s Origin trio.
