What to expect fromMy Hero AcademiaChapter 425
If you still need to catch up, werecommend reading Chapter 424 before going further. Even if there aren’t any officially confirmed spoilers for the upcoming chapter, there are still a few twists and turns left in this story.
My Hero AcademiaChapter 424 briefly shows the aftermath of the war, as the United States and other nations have offered support and resources to help rebuild Japan. However, this chapter ultimately serves as a passing of the torch. Since childhood, Midoriya and Bakugo have strived to be a hero like All Might. They have finally achieved that goal, but it came at a cost: Midoryia has been rendered Quirkless once again, and Bakugo has been told by the doctors it’s unlikely that he will ever be a hero again.
In a beautiful moment between three broken heroes at the end of their ropes, Bakugo breaks down into tears when he discovers that he will no longer be able to compete against Midoriya. Those tears turn into beaming smiles as All Might acknowledges both rivals as great heroes putting a bow on their character arcs. Chapter 424 on its own felt like it could have been a fitting end point, but Kohei Horikoshi still has a few more chapters planned. I predict that we will get an update on other professional heroes, before getting a glimpse at Class-A potentially setting up a sequel series following the next generation of heroes.
