Spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter 370 suggested that it will show more of Spinner and Shoji’s histories and even show Shoji’s face. The scene shifts to the Central Hospital, where the aforementioned personalities will eventually face off against one another. Two further allusions to Star Wars appear in chapter 370 of My Hero Academia, further demonstrating Horikoshi’s devotion to the franchise. He utilises these examples to expand on the prejudice and discrimination mutants suffer.
Spoilers for the next chapter of My Hero Academia reveal Shoji’s identity and the battle between Spinner and Shoji. Spoilers state that the next chapter of My Hero Academia will be named “History.” Starting off the chapter is a flashback to Spinner’s childhood when he was tormented and abused by the locals. It looks like AFO has dispatched Spinner to rescue Kurogiri, with the help of a number of ex-PLA members and civilians who are following him. Nearly 15,000 bad guys, mostly mutants, show up to the scene to face off against only 200 good guys. Present A mutant shark attacks Mic when his Loud Out Shout is muffled. After being separated from Shoji, Koda manages to rescue his professor with the assistance of a bird. The police chief on the site orders the cops there to deploy taser shields against any mutants because there is no reinforcement coming.
Angry mutants, many of whom are wearing Spinner flags and t-shirts, crowd around Rock Lock. The bad guys then turn on Koda, labelling him a traitor and demanding to know where he was raised, implying that he came from a city. In a speech delivered from a rooftop, one of the PLF generals largely devalues Quirk Counseling and brings up two examples of mutant massacres: “Incident 66” and “the Great Purge of Jeda.” Neither the present system nor the heroes have helped people learn to tolerate one another’s differences, thus nothing has changed. At the end of his address, the general proclaims Spinner to be their saviour.
Spinner, on the other hand, appears oblivious to everything beyond “All for One” and “Power.” Shoji is able to avoid his next blow because he is brought back to the time when he was tormented back in his home town. The young man observes that these criminals cared nothing about the well-being of the sufferers, in contrast to the heroes of the last conflict. Shoji, battling through a flashback of his turbulent past, delivers a dire warning to the bad guys. In the final panel of Chapter 370 of My Hero Academia, we get our first look at Shoji’s face.
Observations
If the spoilers are to be believed, both Spinner’s and Shoji’s flashbacks in My Hero Academia chapter 370 are of a similar sort and conclude near an ocean. Shoji explains in the flashback that he had enemies who wanted him dead because of his looks. In the final panel, he is seen with scars around his lips, which are visible when his face is bandaged and he is beside the water. The PLF general now refers to Spinner as “the Guiding Light of Heteromorphs,” a title given to him by Skeptic and AFO in chapter 341. Spinner, on the other hand, appears to be oblivious to his surroundings and has devolved into a mindless soldier.
In contrast, he appeared to have full control of his faculties in chapter 353. Horikoshi provides more detail on the mutants’ situation in the PLF general’s statement in My Hero Academia chapter 370. Earlier, at the beginning of the My Villain Academia/Meta Liberation Army narrative, readers were introduced to the Creature Rejection Clan or CRC. Anti-mutant sentiment appears to be endemic, with multiple attempts at genocide concluding from it.
Closing Considerations
Horikoshi hasn’t stopped referencing Star Wars in his manga. Spoilers for Chapter 370 of My Hero Academia suggest that “Order 66” and the “Great Jedi Purge” served as inspiration for the mutant killings known as “Incident 66” and “the Great Purge of Jeda.” Those unfamiliar with the Star Wars saga should know that the galactic purge of Jedi and other Force-sensitive beings began with a clandestine protocol known as “Order 66,” which eventually became an Imperial Decree. This might be evidence that the government was engaged in each of these crises. It appears that suspicion of mutants is still widespread, as seen by the police officers’ willingness to deploy taser shields against them. Spinner and Shoji play off of one other, and it will be interesting to watch how far their divergent values take them.
