After the steepest of all cliffhangers in chapter 323, titled ‘New Model Hypersonic Intercontinental Ballistics’ My Hero Academia viewers will finally learn the fate of America’s number one hero, Star, and Stripe. In last week’s murder cliffhanger, viewers watched as Shigiraki managed to touch Star and Stripe, however, we don’t sure if his attack worked or if the quirk was stolen. Many readers are praying the touch didn’t actually land and others are hoping Shigaraki’s touch did land but just didn’t work. So without further ado, let’s get right in and see what goes down in chapter 333.
Chapter 323 Recap
Before we dive into chapter 333’s spoilers and raw scans let’s give a quick summary of what went place in the most recent chapter. In chapter 323 we witnessed as Star and Stripe had Shigaraki held down against the ocean floor. Not only that, but she had enough force behind her quirk to hold Shigaraki/AFO pinned while switching between her weapons. While instructing her pilots to keep the lasers fixed on Shigaraki, Ms. America gets to touch and call out the missile’s name, TIAMAT. By doing that, she had the missiles entirely under her control.
From there Star swings the missiles up to the sky and crashes them down on Shigaraki. Unaware of his status the pilots inch forward in their ships to acquire a visual. However, Shigarki is not dead. When he thought he was about to be hit with something heavy, the villain sank a hole into the ocean floor and hid there. Then, once it was safe he used the smoke as cover and exploited the ocean’s pressure to blast him into the sky.
Shigaraki then leaps from airplane to aircraft until finally catching up to the one Star is standing on. Star hesitates in the last second and thanks to this Shigaraki is able to make contact, or least that’s what it looks like. Thus ending the chapter on that agonizing cliffhanger.
Chapter 333 Spoilers
Now that we are all caught up, let’s dig straight into chapter 332’s spoilers. Warning, however, some raws for the future chapter are already available therefore there are confirmed spoilers below, you have been warned. WARNING! A lot of big events go place in this next chapter so if you want to wait for the official release to read, here is your final warning! Now then, let’s move into what goes down in chapter 332 of the MHA.
Chapter 333 opens up with AFO noting how this wasn’t a part of the plan. The original goal was to steal OFA then take a new order, but Star and Stripe’s quick entrance badly fouled up his plans. Shigaraki on the other hand is ecstatic, adding that he finally took fresh order. Seeing as how she barely had 10 seconds left before all her power was gone Star tried to rescue herself with her quirk making the new order, Kathleen Bate will not crumble to dust. However, this is beyond her ability therefore it fails.
Shigaraki and AFO begin to laugh maniacally as AFO tells the hero that in her last 10 seconds she should have put a fresh order on her quirk, not herself. To try out his new power Shigaraki/AFO says new command, in 10 seconds the weather will- before he is able to complete he is interrupted. Shigaraki/AFO then finds himself in the vestige world with Star and Striped in front of him. She tells the villain that she knew that attack wouldn’t finish him off, so instead of needlessly murdering one of her pilots, she put a fresh command on her quirk. New order will revolt against other peculiarities.
Shigaraki’s residual bodily form suddenly explodes and we see a monster version of Star destroying all the other oddities that AFO had stored up, viciously ripping them apart. Star goes on to explain that she didn’t allow her peculiarity be stolen for nothing, but rather to kill you down from the inside, so my friends can do the job on the outside.
AFO then starts going mad as there is nothing he can do besides watch as all the peculiarities he had acquired over the years were gone. He tries to offer the pilots some of the peculiarities so he can spare them from being annihilated. But the pilots gather up together and exclaim since Star is still battling on the inside why should we quit, as they discharge their lasers at AFO keeping him pinned in one location. Before he can reflect the lasers back onto the pilot’s Star manages to destroy the reflect quirk as well.
In the outside world, the true star nearly completely dissolves to dust as she thinks back about All Might and how he saved her and made her who she is all those years ago. AFO then calls out to Star and calls her the haunting image of All Might. The saddening, but exciting chapter finishes as the Nomu Shigaraki employed as a distraction glides closer towards the pilots.
