Chapter 367 of My Hero Academia was the most anticipated chapter since chapter 362, and while fans were pleased with mangaka Kohei Horikoshi’s execution of the chapter, it was not what anybody expected. After seeing the condition of the heroes, Deku’s anger swiftly turned to focused determination, and he began another battle with Shigaraki. The debut of season 6 of the anime on October 1 was commemorated in My Hero Academia chapter 367 with a double colour spread at the opening, starring Dabi, Twice, Toga, Hawks, Mirko, Tokoyami, Kaminari, Mineta, Uraraka, and Midoriya. The absence of Bakugo and Todoroki is striking.
After learning the status of the heroes at U.A., Deku confronts AFO in chapter 367 of My Hero Academia. The last episode ended with Shigaraki in his ultimate form, attempting an attack on Beast Jeanist and Bakugo. With Lemillion’s diversion, Izuku Midoriya and the American planes were able to land safely at U.A. He then fashioned Blackwhip into a sling and launched a Smash at Shigaraki. Chapter 367 of My Hero Academia is titled “Deku Vs. All for One.”
Overview of the Chapter 367
The American pilots ignored their instructions to protect U.A. and instead proceeded to rescue Deku as a homage to Star and Stripe at the beginning of My Hero Academia chapter 367. Using Blackwhip, the young man swung over the jets and arrived at U.A. much sooner than expected. In the present, the Fa-Jin he used made him glow, and when he gave Shigaraki another Smash, the villain remarked on how much he resembled the Third User.
As Deku surveyed the situation in U.A. and the heroes, his attention was drawn to Bakugo and the All Might Card at his side.
He looked around and saw Best Jeanist stumbling to his feet, as well as Nejire, Tamaki, and Mirko laying on the floor. To Shigaraki’s mockery, all Deku had to give as an explanation for his failure to protect his companions was excuses. Deku’s fury caused him to lose control of his eccentricities, and they began to surge out of him. Lemillion, though, reassured Deku that everyone was still alive and that Edgeshot was attempting to treat Bakugo. Lemillion responded to Shigaraki’s criticism that his statements were “idealistic” by saying that it is the job of a hero to make dreams come true.
Deku learned to rein in his eccentricities after reflecting on the words of his heroes and Daigoro Banjo’s advice to master his emotions. He encircled himself with Blackwhip as the ghost of One for All materialised behind him, and he turned to AFO with a question:
“Has Shigaraki been able to escape yet?”
Observations
In My Hero Academia, chapter 367, the pilots confess to openly defying instructions, suggesting that the American president has consented to join the rest of the First World countries in their effort to win Shigaraki’s favour. Though it was contentious, Deku’s choice to leave the U.A. in search of Midoriya allowed him to get to the battlefield sooner while preserving his energy. In My Hero Academia chapter 367, compared to the previous instalment, Deku demonstrates a much higher level of mastery over his eccentricities, particularly Fa-Jin and Blackwhip. He has a far more nuanced understanding of how to apply them, and Shigaraki was reminded of the Third User by his mastery of Fa-Jin.
Although Deku temporarily gave in to his eccentricities, he quickly recovered his composure and resumed working toward his ambitions. These facts point to Deku’s maturation as a result of his time as a Vigilante. Although Lemillion was instrumental in restoring him to his senses, Deku was eager to put the incident out of his mind and focus on the evil he was facing at the time. While it may be argued that this wasn’t the best way for a 16-year-old to handle stress, there’s no denying its efficacy. Chapter 367 of My Hero Academia was highly anticipated since people were anticipating a dramatic reaction from the protagonist upon discovering Bakugo. Despite the fact that his eccentricities caused him to respond dangerously, he eventually came to his senses. Fans are split on whether or not this is out of character for Deku, or if it indicates that his obsession with Katsuki is waning.
Discussion and Conclusions
The most important thing to remember is that Deku saw Shigaraki trying to take advantage of his anger and did not give in. Furthermore, he became a more effective hero because he learnt to prioritise his job over his concern for his loved ones. However, Deku’s inquiry into Shigaraki’s location has prompted speculation regarding his motivations for trying to rescue him, given the horrors Shigaraki has perpetrated during the PLF war arc. There may or may not be significant to the fact that Yoichi wasn’t present when the relics materialised behind Deku in chapter 367 of My Hero Academia. The Second User was there, and he didn’t quite appear like Horikoshi’s previous depictions of him. While his special ability is still a mystery to the readers, they may be assured that Deku will need to employ it in his future showdown with Shigaraki/AFO.
